FAU Post Game Thread

This team had a remarkable season. Joe F. and the offense had a record setting season. We may never again see numbers like Joe F. put up this season. To throw as frequently as we did and have only one INT is truly remarkable. The offense turned the ball over only TWICE ALL SEASON. The defense pieced together just enough to facilitate nine wins. Mora and staff deserve all the accolades that come their way.

I was totally impressed by Messer btw he will absolutely be playing on Sundays.

Still need to provide NIL/revenue share. Unfortunately no good QB coming to UConn without receiving money.

Supposedly UConn FB is in the upper tier for G5 in both those categories. Are they gonna outbid P4 schools? Probably not, but Skyler Bell didn't choose to stay here for the cool merch.

How much do we have? It seems to be a closely guarded secret.

We can get these QBs to at least think about it. Skyler is a huge recruiting tool for this. Would rather get a starter from a G5 than a backup from a P4 anyways. It’s time to double the NIL btw.

Just because inquiring minds want to know, with your wife and her uncle or with your wife and her “uncle?”

Just kidding.

Is that a sense of humor conflating with all the "serious work" we do on the BY.? Kinda nice the step out of the batter's box every now and then. Keeps us grounded.

Is Joe going to get a NYC invite? That's the legitimacy test, no?

 

[JwittersPAC]

Why is every post insinuating that Mora is leaving?

Pretty sure we plastered all the monitors in the football complex with the UConn, Great Pick ad and that clinched it.

Objectively speaking Joe should get an invite. I can't say he should win the Heisman, but he deserves, and more importantly, has earned the right to be there spiffed in a nice suit for the ceremony.

the 'share' link in the vid doesn't work on the board. but if you navigate from watch, to schedule and replays, to Sat Nov 22 to college football it's there View attachment 113521

Thanks for all your help.

When it went from 24-3 lead to 27-31 midway thru the 3rd I wasn't sure we'd be able to recover. Figured a monumental collapse from our defense would cost us another game. Fortunately, the greatest offensive trio UConn's ever seen, with help from Hansen (was awesome in the 2nd half) and Mel made huge necessary plays late in the game.
It really is an impressive feat for the offense to win 9 games with the defense we have.

This x1,000. This is a top 25 team with any semblance of even an average D.

Print that on a shirt and take my money.

Thank you, thank you, glad to see there are some on here who understand. As I said in the chat, Brock was a superstar last year, we were afraid we were going to lose him. He gets 10 new starters on D. Yes they clearly missed in the portal, the players are not the same caliber as last year. But now according to many on here, he is now a terrible coach and it has nothing to do with the personnel. I don't care if we got the best D coordinator in the NFL, he couldn't perform miracles with this D. I hope many on here are not alum, because I am shocked at the amount of haters and the personal attacks just because you don't agree. If you are UConn grads it is a disgrace that you act like that.

I'm not sure why you can't see nuance here.

The players were not up to the task yesterday, and at other points this season. The D line is not great, we struggle to tackle, we get beat up the gut and over the middle repeatedly.

But when the D gives up 700 yards, the responsibility ultimately rests with the DC for the performance of his unit.

No one is saying he's a terrible coach -- that's you creating a straw man. Are people wondering if he's the right guy for the job after his unit gave up 700 yards? Yes, of course they are!
