Message: [QUOTE="ManFromOZ, post: 4742979, member: 11980"] The third game into the season can't be "labeled" a must win, conversely you can't underestimate the importance. Lots of positive momentum going into the NC State game was manifested in a great attendance turnout (best in ten plus years) Need to keep this mojo in place with a solid game performance and W over FIU. It's critical to keep UCONN football top of mind with casual fans, including students. A win would go a long way toward keeping fans engaged - especially those that aren't Yarders. A loss and interest wanes with all signs pointing toward a losing season. 0-3 means that a 6-6 season is a stretch with tough road games against the Vols and James Madison. Beating FIU helps set up for a big crowd against a very good Duke team and keeps fans engaged. Need to be offensively interesting with big plays. Need offensive cred beyond the ground and pound that's been a hallmark of UCONN football. Fast football needs to be a part of the equation. What happens may portend how the season unfolds. All the signs are going to be there. Let's hope they point in the right direction. What say you? [/QUOTE]
