Hats off to Mora and the staff. I'm a little concerned how banged up we are with our RBs, so we'll have to see on that.

Is the freshman running back from Scandinavia injured? Thought we might see him yesterday.

Gotta love Jim Mora. He is making UCON A football school, to go with Hockey, Basketball.
Bell is going to be drafted high and more kids will listen to Coach Mora and consider U C O N N.
The BC stands were at best half full and i just bought tix for the rest of the year. SAD that BC stinks. NO I AM not.

Honestly for me this was probably the most satisfying win since we beat ND! Yeah BC is 1-5 and all. But pretty sure most of their fans probably had this one as a win before their next opponent (think ND). Let’s keep it going !

is this more satisfying than when we beat BC in 2022?

Absolutely. This was a thorough win on the road where we physically looked like the bigger, faster, superior team

2022 was great, but an ugly game. We knew our team wasn’t very good (at least on offense) but they managed to find ways to win 6 games. In all reality, our record probably should’ve been more like 4-8 that year. Now, we’re looking at a team that could be undefeated if two or three plays go differently.

The 2022 BC win was a bit fluky, this time around it is legitimate and we’re proving our program can stay at this level

Of course, but does beating Rice that help "the optics" all that much? Besides being better than losing.
Expand ...
Probably not a lot. But the optics of losing to Rice would be bad.
Can’t play like they did against Ball State & expect to win at Rice.

No. Not even close. That was a better BC team, that was the first time we had ever beaten them, that win was crucial for bowl eligibility, which this game hopefully wasn’t, and that game was the second step (after beating Fresno) in learning that the awful decade that preceded Mor was over.

Doesn’t mean Saturday wasn’t very satisfying.

I agree with everything you just said. For me this was better. This was affirmation that the '22 win and subsequent success and "redevelopment" wasn't flukey. This was almost a surgical win, we had the tools and used them when needed("scalpel, QB sack, Edwards run, Bell TD to crush, etc), and in my mind erases those 2 "Ties" against Delaware and Cuse. We are for real, and with minor weekly improvements on D, health and continued great ST and Offensive, play, sky is the limit!!

Is there a school that deserves the P4 less than BC?
Expand ...
i think so; not because they are "worse" than BC as a football program (they aren't, currently at least) - but because they're not only in the P4, they're in the friggin P2. Seeing rutgers do nothing year after year, is a slap to my face, as a UConn fan, who can only IMAGINEEEEEE what we would have done with the same chance to be at that level. It hurts to think about, in a worse way than when I thnk about us in the ACC.

Rutgers is a nobody, besides being the birthplace of college football (whoopty doo). We at least have some hardware to show for our efforts as an Athletics dept.

Something tells me that UConn's stock is rising though. We are not pretty yet, but we're looking better as a property, these days. The media numbers don't quite work out just yet, but if we continue on this trajectory with JM, we don't need to be as good at football as a USF or Memphis, to get the spot; that's where basketball comes in to save the day at the negotiating table.

Just a dreamer's opinion (sigh...)
