The result could have been worse. Don't have much else to say about the game.

One weird thing, the game was obviously broadcast on a delay (checked my phone shortly before the second half began and it showed ~14 minutes left in the 3rd); throughout the game, the score graphic showed both teams @ 2-2. On the play before the overturned catch/fumble, it slowed us @ 3-2 and UB @ 2-3.

They displayed the outcome before the game ended.

The scorebug gave gave us the win and had our record at 3-2 for most of the second half.
 
Happy with the win. Worst defensive play was the tying TD by Buffalo.

I enjoyed watching Joe run some plays. Good games by Bell, Cam, Neider and of course Freeman. Nice clean game as well with no UConn penalties nor turnovers. They should win by more with clean sheet.

I think all games we watch on apps have a delay of some type as opposed to watching on cable or satellite.

We blew 2 road games we could have won. We didn’t blow this one. That will have to do for now.

It was actually showing us at 3-2 and them at 2-3 when we were up 17-10 and had just gotten the ball back, lol. I was shocked nobody ever corrected it. Got to the point I thought the students creating the graphic for the broadcast were just trolling their own fan base as a way of saying, "we suck."

Was it that early? I didn't notice until ~30 seconds left in the game.
 
Mora calling the TOs was the key to us having a shot to win in regulation. The offense came through with a decent drive and was dialed in to being ready to spike the ball etc. I had no faith we would win in OT. Do not know why our offense is so inept on first down so often. If Fagnano had not run today we would have lost. Was Buffalo that good at pass D that Bell was removed from much of the game? Fagnano had time to throw most often, how are we not able to be better in the pass game? The announcer did acknowledge on our last drive that Fagnano has accuracy problems. The D played well enough for us to put the game away earlier. We still need to be better on special teams- the fake punt first down Buffalo, the punt over Harper from Buffaloes endzone to flip the field, Buffalo blocking a punt resulting in a short punt. And don't get me started about dropped interceptions--- again! We have to get better in all phases.

I thought the kid from Sweden deserved more playing time. He really showed a spark in his few carries (and that fumble was not a fumble). I understand that Mora trusts Edwards, as he should. But CE looked a little dinged up out there.

it's more than just that. It's they have two different styles and it makes it harder for defenses to prep for us if they get more equal snaps. And what I mean equal, I don't mean the same. As the game goes on.Cam starts to get lockdown because they've got a whole game plan around him. We can't just keep handing them the ball.

How are we so much worse this season? We crushed them last season. I thought we'd be better than last season.

I thought that until the second half at Syracuse. But the offensive has become predictable and the defense unreliable. Still, players and teams can get better. Keep the faith.

I started the game late. I chose to watch “from the beginning” rather than live. From me, it showed UConn (3-2) Buffalo (2-3) before the start 4th quarter when the game probably had ended. I was like, whaaaaat?
 
A win is a win?

The defense almost gave it away again. I was crashing out over calling the TOs on their last drive. Now with a more clear mind I can say it’s because I didn’t trust the offense to score with 1 minute left and no timeouts

But good work by the offense to take us home and make me look like a fool. Second week in a row we needed them to close a game out and they did. A win is a win

I’ve lost faith that the defense will be able to secure wins. So I’d like to see the offense do it earlier. We had 3 possessions in the fourth quarter up 7 points and it ended in 3 punts. Even if we get a FG on one of those drives, the game ends early and we don’t need game winners at the end

But again, a win is a win. Let’s go Huskies and bring on FIU!
 
Since I was watching on delay, I wasn’t on the chat. What did you all think of the fake field goal / pooch punt? I was baffled why they didn’t attempt the 51 yarder. Did anyone agree? Felt they were playing not to lose. Going up 20-10 felt like it would have been insurmountable but 17-10 felt like Buff would score and tie. Don’t you go for points when you have the chance?
 
This win was fugly. So many weaknesses, so much to try to fix. Tackling! Terrible. There are a couple single digit numbered DB's that are either too weak or, more likely, too afraid to come up on a ball carrier and crush him. Coaches should immediately pull them, put them on bench for duration of game.

Defense needs to practice Oklahoma's: put a 4 foot alleyway lined with chalk and two players 10-15 yds apart, facing each other, one a ball carrier, the other a defender. On GO, smash into each other, hard as you can. Then rinse, repeat til practice is an hour old.

Also, some coach needs to tell Fagnano to throw lower on his medium distance passes. No excuse for throwing the ball over the receivers. Hit the numbers or sit (and I am a fan of JF). Oh and remind your receivers (especially the TE's) to get to the first down markers before you turn, none of this catch it and make them miss.

It's not a gimme and you give them a short field if you miss it. Yeah, you think about it, but it comes down to confidence in a 51 yard kick.
