Duke Post Game Thread

Hopefully he leased the car.

Of course he did. My guess the lease was a gift from a local dealership- NIL

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.

Wait wasn't that Wlat Harris?

Then we went to Pitt and Lou Allen had an Al Bundy type game against them with like 3 TDs.

Even better, with more at stake, was the 2010 night game with Todman’s 4th and 2 from our own 28.

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.

The game was against West Virginia. We had been in the midst of a beautiful Oct Indian Summer stretch. After the rain the temp dropped - a lot. Remember not being dress properly for the game.

 

[uconnbill]

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.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

While our D is sometimes disparaged, the blitz packages, this year, have been great!!

Glad to see no Prevent on Duke’s last drive.

THIS GAME.

UConn is always forced to insane standards. We could win at Georgia, Texas , Alabama and LSU and people would say they are just having downs years and that’s why we won.

Just want to comment about the crowd in person vs the crowd on television. It was pretty clear that the announcers recognized the energy in the stadium and if you were tgere you felt and heard it. But it really didn't translate to TV the way it does on other broadcasts. Hearing games at home through my HT it's obvious how Fox/CBS/ABC-ESPN manipulate and enhance the sound for many of their broadcasts. It can really be immersive but sometimes it's annoying and I need to turn it way down. Instead of sounding like you're at an actual game it's more like a Wizard of Oz experiment by sound engineers. By contrast the CBSSN broadcast sounded pretty dead. You could hear the crowd but it seemed off in the background for me. Kind of like the noise level that was basically the buzz between plays in the stadium. Not sure if it's totally a network thing or a technology issue within the stadium but just my .02 that maybe can be looked at for the future. (I know "it's always something")

Agree 100%. Watched the TV broadcast this morning and there is no comparison between the crowd sound on screen and how insanely loud it was at the Rent last night. I wish it translated better.

 

[HuskiesFan1014]

I think this was it.

15-yd Penalty
15:00 - 4th
Shotgun #2 J.Fagnano pass complete short right to #80 J.Neider caught at UConn41, for 32 yards to the Duke31 (#8 D.Stone), out of bounds PENALTY UConn Pass Interference (#80 J.Neider) 15 yards from UConn37 to UConn22. NO PLAY
3rd & 6 at CONN 37

Watched the TV broadcast today and waited to see that one. Total BS call. The defensive back got himself caught up between Neider and Rosa (i believe) and was backpedaling and lost his balance. Contact was minimal and announcers agreed.

 

[uconntailgater]

A very satisfying game. I thought there was a chance we would get blown out, but I guess I need to give the offense much more credit.


It felt almost like the ND game from way back. Like we had to beat the Refs and the opponent.

For me the call of the game was the fake punt. We were dead if not for that.

That was a huge play. We don’t convert on that forth down fake punt. The game is over.

 

[ArtTheFan]

I can’t be convinced that UConn would not be competitive in the ACC or the Big 12. We would need a year or two for the recruiting to pick up a little but the ingredients are there. We got the chef we just need a kitchen. Great win, go Huskies!

I would love to see us in the Big 12...

That said if it wasn't the Big 12, and it was the ACC, I'd be happy since we could beat Duke in basketball every year...

 

[RSTuthill]

Even better, with more at stake, was the 2010 night game with Todman’s 4th and 2 from our own 28.

Etched into my memory circuits. Anthony Sherman laid the wood and Todman got 4. End of game.

 

[SwingDog]

The kick holder being punter Connor Stutz who IIRC also caught a high snap before a punt. Both Stutz and Freeman have been huge, and will be missed after this season.

Shout out to Connor for making a crucial play. If he doesn't snag the high snap and position it quickly and cleanly, that's 3 less points on the board and we all know what that would have meant.
