Nice game guys!

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Domination in the trenches. Love to see it.

 

[jbdphi]

Thoroughly impressed. Of course there are always things to work on but this was around as good as we could have hoped for.

 

[blue93]

Absolutely bullied them from start to finish. What a feeling.

 

[Hoophound]

Solid everywhere.

 

[Forte]

Watching this team win is more fun.

60 minutes of football right there. Great game Huskies!

 

[RedStickHusky]

Both sides of the ball

 

[IndyLives]

Impressive...UConn's running game tonight would have beaten Alabama. The OL were throwing (literally) players around and the RBs were elusive. We'll have our choice of Bowl games and an outside shot at the Playoffs if we run the table. Let's go!

That's the best game a UConn football team has played in a long time. We totally demoralized them in the first half.

Evers looked much better. Defense was great. The line really put on a show.

 

[LetsGoUC]

most dominate win of the Mora era.

 

[KryHavok]

They showed they can run and control the line of scrimmage. Passing wasn't strong, but for this game with this opponent, they didn't need it. Defense stayed sold most of the game, but still gave up two bum TDs. As the game chat noted, the unsportsmanlike conduct penalties gotta stop. Otherwise, feeling good at 2-2.

When is the last time uconn had two 30+ wins in a season?

Evers might not be best passer we have but he is by far the most talented QB we have and this teams potential is much higher with him as QB1 than without him

 

[REB1094]

I don’t mean to overreact but UConn would probably win the super bowl

Great runner. Joe is a better passer. We need to meld them together.

At least this.

Great win for UConn. This was pure domination for their first FBS win and a great way to start off the homestand. Even though there wasn't much passing, Sammis did not make the mistake of getting cute and trying to worry about aesthetics or "balance" he stuck with what was working to great success.

FAU played Mich State tough. This was a solid win for UConn even if FAU is only 1-3 now.

Next week it will be interesting to see if UConn can pass more as I think future opponents are going to load the box. However, they can spread the defense out with some 3 WR formations and run from that, too, to prevent the 8-9 man fronts they will see. I think opponents will really have the mentality of "let's see if they, specifically Evers, can beat us with his passing".

 

[Bomber36]

Must crush Buffalo…who by the way beat NIU…who by the way beat Notre Dame.

 

[Palatine]

I think we are out of the bottom ten -- for good.

 

[Chin Diesel]

48 points
540 total yards
420 yards rushing
Almost 40 min TOP.

All good.

Here we go.
1. Depth. Murawski out and Wayburn fills in seamlessly at LG. Edwards with a low load so Robinson and Brown each rush for over 150.
2. Defense for first half. 0 points, 2 first down and FAU never made it across midfield.
3. Zero punts.
4. On first possession I think Mora ran 3rd down just to get Freeman an easy FG.
5. Evers much more aggressive with his runs after deciding to pull the ball
6. Announcers were god awful but UConn won and they have the game next week too.
7. Referee crew was even worsterer than the announcers.
8. I will bet the under next week against UB. I expect a slugfest.
9. 2-2 which was where many expected UConn to be but I feel real good about it.
10. So good, there isn't a number 10.
11. Okay. Gotta clean up the PF's.

 

[LetsGoUC]

we can win 7 games. the path is very much there.

 

[Purple Stein]

Great win - unbelievable ground game.

Let’s do it again against Buffalo.

 

[noeynox]

If can play like this against AAC caliber teams ill be very happy.

Not sure I expected UConn to be 2-2. I thought FAU would be a much better team. (Or I underestimated UConn, I’m not sure which. Prob both.)

 

[willie99]

This team has played solid football three weeks in a row

Love seeing the pogress, keep it going

10-2 baby

 

[RSTuthill]

A step forward when it could easily have been a step back. Rather emphatic actually. Let's see if it can be repeated against a team with better run defense forcing UConn to pass more. The result against Duke suggests UConn can keep improving.

When is the last time uconn had two 30+ wins in a season?

2008 — Hofstra and Virginia
