It definitely had an effect on the game. Ga State was one onside kick recovery from having the ball and trying to score the game tying TD on a tired defense. In fact they were very close to recovering that onside kick and I am convinced the UConn player took the ball away from him on the ground so much credit to that player who did that. I am glad UConn got the victory and will go to a bowl game as that is a big stepping stone for this program, but that game was far more suspenseful then it had to be.

I really question that punt decision vs going for it. Mora made the decision to give the ball back to Georgia ST and hope our defense could hold team. It almost cost us the game if they recovered that on-site kick.

I swear if we are at opponent 35, and we got a chance to put the game away, we need to just go for it vs punting. We should never punt at opponent 35.

The game management was really questionable. Not Mora's best performance, but cant complain much about a win

UConn has 1 of the best running games in the country. We would have run the ball down Alabama's throat tonight. We should get Top 25 votes. Should run the table and be in the Top 25. Lets go!

If they run the table and are 9-3, they wont get votes.!”

I definitely see your thought process on that and it's a good point. But I also wonder what the sentiment would be if that DB makes that simple interception-Mora cannot be blamed for the DBs ineptitude on that play.

Absolutely! The O line was able to get the blocks needed for the run game to get yards. Why not put trust in the RBs to get the yardage on 4th and short? It seemed the calls were too conservative, gutless even, and almost let GS back in the game. At the very least, the boys closed out the home slate of games 5-1, I'll sleep good tonight.

The defense made so many mistakes after it was 34 to 17 it was ridiculous. Roughing the passer, dropping easy INT giving up huger plays, jumping offsides on 4th down. All unforced errors.

The miracle was recovering the onsides kick.

The first roughing actually helped UConn in the long run. It gave Ga ST first down and was followed by a UConn interception which gave them a short field a TD. No roughing and GA St punts there, no int. Funny how sometimes bad things turn into good things.

If UConn can run for 250+ yards doesn't matter.

Frustration is when run game is stuffed and they can't adjust to passing.

I think UConn fanbase is looking at games through a pro football lense. College offense with colelfe ability. As long as they run the ball they will be fine.

I mean. Qb is clearly weakest spot on the offense, but they are 6-3 with this shaky qb situation. Win games.
 
Should have two more wins before bowl game. I think our defense would give SU fits but don’t think we are quite there.

Yes. Some areas of improvement. But nothing crazy or awful to obsess about. Are they top 25 caliber? Not even close.
Expand ...
But I would argue they are around top 50 and may end the season at about that if there are no surprises

For UConn Football to build on this year and get better to the heights we would like them to get to instead of regressing, the QB situation has to improve. I am not sure UConn's 2025 QB is on the roster right now. Welliver? Maybe, but we have not seen him play and he needs to add some weight to that frame. I would like UConn to get a QB who has some FBS experience and some success passing the ball or at least like the one Georgia State had tonight. I know it will be tough for UConn to get a QB in the transfer portal that is in the top 40th percentile, but the QB Georgia State had tonight showed some decent passing skills.

I really liked Garrett Scroeder who was the QB for Syracuse last year that they got from the transfer portal. I don't know if a QB like that is out of reach for UConn, which is why I suggested someone like the Georgia State QB.

I don't think UConn is there either. I would love it if they shocked me with an upset win over Syracuse, but I am certainly not expecting it.

LOVE the enthusiasm. However, come on now, we ain't running for nearly 300 against the TIDE.
However, it doesn't matter. We can just do our best against those who line up on the other side.

I say let's run it down Syracuse's throats!!!!

Still, we are putting the ball on the defense for an INT vs. putting the ball in our OL's hands to help RB get 2 yards. Even if we don't make it, they are on their 35 yards line to start their drive.

If I am the coach, I go for it in that situation 100% of the time. It is not even a question. This is the 2nd week in the row Mora made a decision like this that could have cost us the game.

Exactly!

This year, we defended The Rent like the days of old! It can be your home... or your worst nightmare.

Bowl eligible in 2 out of the last 3 years. A record of 6-3 despite having a negative turnover ratio tells me that we're playing even better than that. I'm really really proud of what our Huskies have already achieved, and there's more to come...
 
Glad to be bowl eligible. These are so awful teams that we have beaten though so I agree with Mora that it’s not time to celebrate.

The 4th and 2 punt was mildly infuriating. Honestly it might be the first time I really questioned Mora’s game calls.

I thought the Georgia State coaches were imbeciles. The wildcat reminded me of the dumb stuff Jim Leavitt at USF did, or Diaco.

Mel Brown!

8 wins would look nice.
