G-State Post Game Thread

Did you watch?

I did. We scored 34. With a mediocre passer. Georgia State has a bad record, but are not incompetent. I can’t see being negative about any W this year.

 

[GoConn]

This has been an awesome season.

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!

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!!!!

Season isn’t over yet, we have 4 more games to show improvement!

 

[WestCoastHusky]

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.

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...

 

[ZooCougar]

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.

 

[ZooCougar]

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

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

This offense simply won’t cut it against good competition.

GA State beat Vandy, Vandy beat Bama......

Don’t take the bait

 

[ZooCougar]

GA State beat Vandy, Candy beat Bama......

How did that team beat Vandy? Did they slip them some roofies?

 

[NEforceUConn]

I think we may have turned the corner on our football direction. In years past, with the 4th Q mistakes, we would have lost this game. I thank the fb gods for awarding us that onside kick possession as well as our coaching staff for finally having the players believe.

 

[AllHusky]

Thank You! This season isn’t over just like the game wasn’t over at 34-13. Not gonna flog the poor dead QB issue anymore. We have so many places where just a bit more confidence experience and execution will level us up again.

Start with the coaches being ready for end of game preparation and management and work your way from there. Don’t know if Mel Brown and the right side OL could have done much more, and the DL line pretty dang impressive sans roughing passer. If kids wanna really jump on these last 3(4 inc bowl) games, script can be even more different than it is.

1-0 is the goal.

Yes. I get the feeling a lot of BYers have an unrealistic take on the state of our program. We are competitive relative to our competition, look like a well-coached team, were out of it in only our first game. With a much better QB could we have beaten Duke and Wake, who knows, but they were both competitive. Could we have beaten a few teams by a lot more? Only Temple comes to mind. This has been a pretty fun year so far and I think there is way too much whining when we win. Let the coaches seek perfection.

 

[cellocgg]

Friday night is a way better time slot for a school like UConn, we are competing for eyes vs. 3 other games compared to 30

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Should have won but 41-13 but I guess that’s a good problem to have

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Comparing to years past, I love our defense. I hope we can keep coach Brock around since he really got these guys to play some good ball.

We are mixing up our blitzing well, and we are putting some good pressure on the QB finally.

I think tonight was the most points given up since the Maryland game and only because of a couple terrible roughing the passer penalties. This defense is incredible. Can only imagine how good they’d be if we didn’t routinely give teams the ball at the 40 yard line

 

[Blades]

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.

100%, Yep pretty gutless and lack of trust in your O-line and RB who were dominating up until that point. Close the fricking game out with a first down and run more clock. Instead of gaining 20 yds on a punt and giving a GA St. a chance, when they shouldn't have had one.

 

[hardcorehusky]

Hoeh was injured on the last series versus Rice. We were playing with 2nd string center and 2nd string guards and still put up those numbers.
Evers numbers might look anemic, but other than one over thrown ball, he was much more accurate, and he looked quicker and faster on his runs. He still locks onto receivers, but all he had to do was hand off to Brown or Edwards to stretch runs off right tackle.

We made it too interesting again at the end, but a win is better than a loss.

 

[uconnfan68]

Yes. Some areas of improvement. But nothing crazy or awful to obsess about. Are they top 25 caliber? Not even close.

Well, I had a few complaints, not sure why you didn’t. Could have lost 2 dline for targeting if we didn’t get a break. Gave up a big play due to communication. Generally poor passing, again. And the best throw was dropped. So yeah, I had complaints.

 

[Jetskies]

Should have two more wins before bowl game. I think our defense would give SU fits but don’t think we are quite there.

i still see the SU game as a 28-14 or 35-14, bad guys. We are definitely not in that neighborhood yet. wish we were, but nah.

IMO WF was the last shot we had to get a recognizable win.


I hope my take ages like milk

 

[Husker Husky]

It is a trap game for SU. But, they aren't a football school and their BB history vs UConn will have them up for the game.

 

[uconnbill]

Lol. How about Georgia St and not Tech.

They beat Vandy who beat Bama. They are not a bad team at all and have some talent. It was a solid win and now UConn is bowl eligible

 

[3rdbass]

We have a passing attack?

Definitely not with Evers. He is a just a game manager at this point who can occassionally run the ball but is miserable passing. I hope we don't see him starting under center next year. We need to upgrade that position with someone who can throw the ball half decent.
