FAU Post Game Thread

You should be fired for giving up nearly 700 yards as a DC. There is no excuse under the sun that allows that to happen to 3 win G5 squad. If I was the HC his bags would be packed tomorrow.

Not that I had any faith in our defense to get stops in the early going scoring so fast like we are the 80s Lakers think it effected our defense a bit as far as fatigue goes. Our D didn't get much of a break with us scoring fast and FAU fast tempo. Ideally would've liked 5-7 minute TD drives of course you can't fault the offense for scoring tds.

Great performances by Joe, Skyler playing hurt, Cam as always, welcome back Mel Brown. Neider and Murphy with clutch catches. Honig and Hansen with clutch catches.

I mean at least we weren't ranked #5 and lose to an FCS team at home cough Michigan cough

There's a lot I can say about this game. But all I really have to say is this game came down to the wire because of our inability to execute defensively on 4th down. They scored 3 touchdowns off 4th down conversions, 2 of which were literally on the 4th down play (I still think it was a BS PI call on the 3rd, but that's irrelevant at this point.) Just inexcusable. They scored 45 points, but if we just execute on those 3 plays they likely only score 24. Let that sink in.

I will also say, that is probably the worst kick I've ever seen, lmao. The epitome of a choke job. We didn't deserve to win this one but I'll take it.

At the end of the day, we finished 9-3. Chance to get 10 wins with the bowl game. That makes me happy. Fingers crossed for a damn good bowl with a damn good opponent
 
Didn’t get a chance to watch. Nice to see 9 wins. But the D has not been good in may games. D line is soft. DBs give up ground. Not a good recipe for a defense.

The offense is very fun! The defense is very not fun!

Funny stat. If games lasted 59 minutes instead of 60, UConn would be 11-1. Not so funny after I type it out and think about it..

EDIT: ignore that, just realized it means today would have been an L lol

This is the first time UConn has ever won 9 games in consecutive seasons. We got there in the most frustrating way possible, but we got there. I’ll take that as a huge win and get excited to see if we can get 10 for the first time this century

I don't think it's a matter of them not improving. But I do think that we have matchup problems with certain offenses because we have certain deficiencies.

We held Air Force to a season low offensive output if I recall. We held Duke to 11 points less than FAU... that tells me that there's a matchup problem.

Let's hope that we can continue to increase NIL, continue to show folks in the portal that this is a place that can showcase them to play on Sundays, and continue to go bowling...

Well how we give away a 90 yd TD play on their 4th down from their own 10 yd line for goes beyond matchups. That was unforgivable really…. The fact they would even go for it just shows an unreal lack of respect for our defense….

I want to focus on the positives. This team could've folded after snatching a couple of losses out of the jaws of victory to start the season.

Nobody should've expected 9-3 after starting the season 1-2 and everyone would've signed up for it before the season started. Defense is downright putrid at times but this is the best offense we've ever had and people from football country no longer look at us as a joke. Our name comes up and people say they're actually pretty good/decent now and Mora has done a really good job. People outside of our little fanbase recognize the names Fagnano and Skyler Bell. No could've, should've, would've been 12-0...team is 18-7 the past two seasons which is a huge victory for the program.
