Toriyan Johnson deserves some love too.

He stepped in when Ben got injured and played well enough. No penalties and obvious blown assignments. Looks like he can step up next season on the line.

And Juice Vereen is going to get a lot of phone calls and offers of good $$$ from other teams.

HUGE game for Torivan. Speaks well for him that for a large part of the game we had no idea Murawski was out. TV finally had to point out the game he was having.

One of the places I thought we would be at a major disadvantage was on the lines. We seemed to mitigate that mismatch.

Their pass rushers were getting to Joe much faster than usual. Joe recognized this and started getting rid of the ball faster.
 
May have been said earlier, but just when you think this team just doesn’t have it (see Delaware or Rice pudding), this win just pulls you back
We kept saying, "now this next play will decide the game and if they don't make this 4th and long we should head out." We stayed past the end of the game.
 
It was always great. Today was awesome, but there were days 15 years ago when the place was genuinely full and incredibly loud. This was a good taste. We’d have a lot of games like this in the ACC or B12. We deserve to be there.
Ill never forget the Thursday night game against Pitt and Dave Wandstedt circa 2004. Was loud as heel and Pitt got back to back false starts followed by a timeout in the 4th. Was electric.

That was our first ever home Big East game. And the crowd — especially the student section — was incredibly loud.
2006 OT game where D.J. tossed the football out of the Rent was another wild UConn/Pitt classic. Wish we could get a regular series going w/ them again. Good road trip as well.

That was the Thursday night game it poured while tailgating? Tents were flying.
It was the ‘04 game that gametime conditions were o.k. But it poured a few hours before kickoff. We had to set the grill under the rear hatch and eat in the car.
 
UConn has its own thread on the Pitt board now. Not a ton there, but had to chuckle at the 7th post.
scew pitt. and anyone else who absolutely refuses to even give a single flower our way. I challenge pitt and any other former Big East peer, to do half of what Jim Mora has done with the crap salad he was given at UConn.

they love to talk about our horrible schedule and instead of saying "hey UConn has started a revival process worth respecting" they instead flip the conversation to say the ACC is blackmarked because we have managed to beat some of them.

I will never treat any team and its fanbase, as poorly as UConn has been treated by the P4 message boards. They have no idea what it is to be on this side, stuck between P4 and G6.
 
I think they both find their way on an NFL roster next year. They've been that good.
Bell is a draft pick for sure. He has serious quickness, and his hands have been excellent this year. It counts if he is invited to the Senior Bowl or Combine, which I think will happen.
