It's a win

 

[noeynox]

Can't play worse defensively and win a game. Just putrid.

 

[phillionaire]

Technically a win is the best kind of win

 

[BugsyCT]

How in the fffffff did we win that?

 

[Chin Diesel]

It's a win

A one point win on the road is blowout.

Geat final drive by the O.

I still want to punch Brock in the dick.

 

[JMick]

Matt Brock has to go. Almost ruined an all time performance from Fangnano. Career defining drive for him. He will be remembered very fondly

 

[Gburyhusky]

Thank God that was on espn plus

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Nothing to celebrate. Fix the defense before the bowl. Or fire Brock.

How in the fffffff did we win that?

The same way we lost the 3 overtime games. This time, we got the break. Honestly, with the way the season has gone, we deserved a break...

 

[maple]

Just win, baby. Just win.

Im very curious if any team has ever lost 4 OT games as their only losses in a season. Because I was certain we were heading there

 

[gsmooth]

Whew, glad, more relieved they won. I was so sure that game was going to overtime.

The offense deserves a 1st class flight back to Hartford and some nights in a 5-star suite for a week. The defense... well, not so much to put it lightly. Let me just keep this post a positive one.

Congrats on back to back 9-win seasons and a special shout out to Cam Edwards. He is Tuff Juice, Jr.-he is a tough dawg with an iron will.

 

[Travelman6]

Wow.

They ate the D alive for 3 quarters. UConn did just barely enough but what a gut check, huge win. Low-key one of the best wins on the season because of how they continued to respond when it looked like fau took control.

How about 10?

 

[Jax Husky]

That was an absolutely pathetic effort on D. Glad for the win, but my goodness...

I don't think any team has lost 3 OT games in a season period.

 

[UConnJim]

We just didn't have the D-linemen this year. Hard to go to the portal and create a new defense like they did this year.

That's college football for ya we were owed one by the football gods.

There's so many ways to look at the fact that we lost 3 of them and appeared incapable of stopping them if we went to a 4th.

I choose to look at it as an undefeated regulation time season, headed to a bowl, with one guy who deserved Heisman consideration and another who is definitely getting Belitnikoff consideration.

Pride. Heart. UCONN!!!

 

[Rdkid]

No complaining about the 3 we lost after that win. D is unathletic and slow. FAU would have scored touchdowns into December.
Very entertaining year, no doubt!!

 

[Chin Diesel]

Over 3/4 of a mile of offense.

Or, as my friend whose house I watched the game at said, 3/4 of a mile of no defense.

 

[firstnline]

Well, we won a one

 

[Purple Stein]

446 in the air for Fagnano, 125 in the air for Bell, and 101 on the ground for Edwards. UConn legends.

The defense gave up 687 yards. 687!

 

[Jaydumo20]

We'll remember our record in retrospect. Not how we got there. Good win? I think?

 

[superjohn]

Someone just said in the chat we could be the worst 12-0 team in history, we almost had it.

It sounds harsh but it's true, it also means we've come a long way.

Brock doesn't seem too good at his job, offense has been humming all year. That's the reverse of our better teams.

 

[KryHavok]

Ugly win >>> pretty loss. We're undefeated in November and have 9 wins in regular season. I could complain, but we have 9 wins... it'll do. Let's get a good bowl matchup and win that. Go UConn!!!!!!!!!

 

[HomeKing93]

We knew FAU was going to score a lot of points, but not that many! Road win, I'll take it.

 

[UCONNRPh]

Had he hit that field goal, we would have been playing out 4TH OT on the road this year.

 

[uconnyankee]

Oy vey!
I had to leave house, solidly in lead…. Happy we won, but not what you’d call the best defensive display in the 2nd half.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

I know the defense this year is bad…but they had to be gassed also by the end of the game because they were beyond horrendous. That was hard to watch.

What’s frustrating is that the defense didn’t improve as the year went along. I give Sammis credit for the fourth quarter play calling…but what’s up with the holding penalties? Refs seemed a bit flag happy.

But…hard to complain about 9-3. Love to get that tenth win in the bowl!
