Bowl Games (Non-UConn)

Cignetti's time-out was key, IMO. Give his defense a chance to catch their breath and focus. Great call.

Glad Indiana won. Probably one of the best coaching jobs in college football history

Unbelievable job by Cignetti

If Indiana can do it...

Miami doesn’t seem very sportsman like.

Beck walked right off the field and didn’t even bother to meet Mendoza who I saw was looking for him.

Not many coaches would've taken that timeout with the clock ticking.

He's pressed every right button for two seasons in Indiana.

Enjoy this moment Mendoza! You won’t be seeing or sniffing a championship anytime soon when you get drafted by the Raiders in April!! 😂

 

[KryHavok]

Maybe Beck should have gone back to class cuz you don't throw a pick when you're down and need aTD to win CFP. I'm SOOO glad the acc lost.

I hope Mendoza gets a wicked good contact when he's drafted so that he take care of his mom. His dive for the TD was fracking awesome.

It did not matter. The value of the time-out goes to zero as time goes to zero. The value of the time-out, at that point of the game, is to use it help your team make plays. Getting their breath because of the time-out was the priority. IMO of course.

Love Mendoza during the post game interview. The kid just seems like a winner.

 

[Vowelguy]

If IU ended up losing, I think the key was going to have been those missed personal foul calls early. Completely set the tone for the game.

Congrats to Indiana, what an amazing win! UCONN opened RENT when we went D1, and the first opponent at the RENT was Indiana. That UCONN victory is still a great win.

If Indiana can do it, UCONN can do it someday.

Screw the canes!

Worthy of a movie. They can call it "Hoosiers".

 

[Jimdish255]

Congrats to those Hoosiers.
And of course Whitmer 🏈

 

[Vowelguy]

During that last Mia drive, they showed Mendoza watching and I swear his lips were subtly moving -- I'm guessing he was saying a literal Hail Mary (or Dios te salve, Maria).

 

[Spaceman213J]

Indiana's football team are no longer the Who-siers and everybody knows the name Hoosiers in football now. Congrats!

 

[superjohn]

Mendoza just said a naught-y word.

I agree, it shows it is possible for UConn if we get into a P4. NIL and the transfer portal has leveled the playing field somewhat.

 

[TheDrifter75]

Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers!!!!

 

[nwhoopfan]

What a game!

This got me thinking, Heisman Trophy winners almost never win a Championship in the same season, do they?

Easiest job in the world starting tomorrow: IU lead recruiter.

Great Game!

 

[superjohn]

Mendoza family seems like great people and that aunt is a rocket.

 

[AllHusky]

Beck was looking for Marion, threw it short.

What a game.

Thought Beck was short a number of times.

 

[superjohn]

 

[traitor71]

Thought Beck was short a number of times.

I wonder if that elbow of his ever came all the way back from the surgery. He throws some good passes and he throws some softballs, and it doesn’t seem by choice.

 

[EnochRoot]

I guess I'd grow tired of it eventually, but damn that's better on the ears than Fenway's 'Sweet Caroline.'

 

[superjohn]

Miami's running back Fletcher took a swing at an Indiana player after the game.
