Message: [QUOTE="HuskyNan, post: 4432012, member: 4"] And this year’s team believes in itself. That was missing before. [I]For the last regular-season game, Mora and the Huskies are on the road, to face Army, a program that beat them 59-21 at Michie Stadium last year. The Knights are not the same team they were then, they’re 3-6 and losses to Air Force and Troy State the last two games have knocked them out of bowl contention, opening up a spot for an independent or “pool” candidate like UConn. The Huskies’ defense, which has bent plenty but broken much less often in their wins, will have to contain Army’s sophisticated triple-option offense, and it will not be easy. But then one of Mora’s mantras has been “hard things are hard.” Army’s offense was too hard for UConn in 2021, as was Fresno State’s, but what was so hard between 2016 and 2021 has been doable for these Huskies[/I].
