>>However, it is possible that what I witnessed in the fourth quarter here in Annapolis, Maryland tops the "I can't believe what I just saw" list of my time covering college football games.
There were some remarkable performances by UConn players beginning with Bryant Shirreffs setting a UConn single-game completion percentage record by going 23 for 26. The 88.5 percent mark tops the previous standard of 82.9 by Dan Orlovsky against Navy in 2002. Noel Thomas had a career-high 11 receptions which it tied for the eighth best mark in program history. Luke Carrezola had a career-high three tackles for loss (the most for a UConn player since Graham Stewart's 3 1/2 against Tulane last year) while Matt Walsh finished with career-high 12 tackles. Still, it is impossible to write about Navy's 28-24 victory without focusing on some curious coaching decisions.<<
