You are really stretching now. If Jordan Wright doesn't drop that easy pick, we win by 14! Before tonight, how many Georgia State games have you watched? Do you know their red zone tendencies and how what they see in our Red Zone D?

They pulled a good QB who moves the ball out to run ineffective wildcat plays. It totally threw their offense out of whack. The Georgia State coaches were idiotic.

This place is insufferable.

We are #43 in scoring. That's higher than undefeated Iowa State and numerous other P4 teams, and yet the fans here say that averaging 32 points per game "isn't good enough" in the college game.

We ran the ball really well last night, so he only had 16 attempts. We should all be good with the fact that he was efficient in those attempts and we moved the ball effectively. But there are way too many people on this board that want to kill the kid even when he does his job. Enjoy the win and look forward to next week...

Fortunately there aren’t too many, but those that do, do so over and over again. One in particular is trying to set a record for beating a dead horse to death.
 
Nice to get the win last night and important for the guys. They came out strong. We can beat the weak teams with our D and our running game. That's good. Fortunately it turns out we have a very friendly schedule this year. The team plays hard and congrats to them for becoming Bowl eligible.

Had a handful of very fortunate calls last night to help seal the win. I'd be upset about a few of them for sure from the Ga State standpoint. Our passing game is terrible and it makes it frusrating to see the same thing year after year. Evers shows no signs of improving and it's a mystery why the Coaches keep pretending he is. Just look at the offense we've been running. Combine those things and we aren't beating any decent teams any time soon, and certainly not impressing anyone who's paying attention.

I like where we're at because we're not far away from having a solid team that gives hope for being competitive in the games that matter. But the stubbornness of sticking with Evers is a perplexing situation and we may never have an answer to it. The glass us half full but it feels like someone has their hand covering the spigot. Not sure why that is the case

The best football mind in Connecticut says our QB needs more reps. He sees potential.

What happens if Evers gets healthy, gains confidence and goes off against Syracuse. Follows it up with a solid bowl game.

Then a P4 program pays him serious NIL for his next 2 years.

Will the BY naysayers be p1ssed?

I’ll be shocked and thrilled for him.

We have seen enough of Evers to know he isn't a FBS starting QB on a good team. Time to move on next year and find one who is.

The coaching staff says different whether we agree or not. I think he needs to be more accurate as well. Do I think HCJM will make a change at quarterback, no and we have to trust him since he has gotten us bowl eligibility two out of the last three seasons.

Enjoy the rest of the year and remember not long ago we were hoping for more than 2 win seasons.

What a strawman. Everyone wants Evers to succeed.

You can point out that throwing for less than 80 yards isn't good enough and still want the kid to light the world on fire. In fact, my guess is everyone feels that way.

From the tone of some of the comments I’m not sure everyone wants him to do well. There are people that never want to be proven wrong and will never admit to being wrong.

So some don't know Evers dropped a weight on his toe and with the head injury earlier in the year, this was the healthiest he has been. UConn didn't need 300 yards of passing because it has 274 in rushing. My gripe with Evers is being consistent which he is not yet
Expand ...

Again, he’s actually very consistent . . .

You do realize that Zoo know more than our coaching staff with his years of experience coaching at a high level from his couch/stadium seat.
My thought are that next years quarterback may not be here unless Welliver takes control next year.

All I care about is winning and let the coaching staff worry about the players as we don't see what they always see.

So maybe Mora is holding him back until 1st game next year so that doesn't happen? Puts Joe in to beat Syracuse? AS always, we all root for Nick and all have our own opinions about whether he sould play or not. Did see a little of light bulb glimmer flicker yesterday after he got whacked ironically.
Expand ...
I don’t believe “We” all root for Nick
 
The QB position is seriously underperforming right now. Evers hasn't proved he is the right guy since he is wildly inconsistent. All we know is our WRs are open, and he can't get the ball to them. If we can't pass, our run game will suffer.

We won't get chance after chance against Cuse like we just got against GA State.

Something has to change. Maybe Evers will improve, but he hasn't shown it so far.

Yeah he is the best option they think but he isn't then long term solution. Plus, you l don't think they are playing him also due to the NIL investment? Either way he has shown he sucks. We are winning despite or him and not because of him. There is a reason why he never got a real chance at 3 other schools before us.

I think we all agree that both are quarterbacks are not up to this level of competition. The question is which one gives us a better chance to win.
 
I’m thrilled we are 6-3 and bowl eligible. But let’s not lose perspective. The six teams we’ve defeated (excluding any games today) have a combined record of 17-30.
 
I was frustrated with Evers' running for most of the game to the point of beginning to question his ability in that regard (due to his injuries I reserved judgment in prior games). However he had a couple of nice decisive/aggressive runs in the 4th quarter including the TD that give me some hope.

I'll take being ranked better than #100 (Massey at #95) and better than the team UConn beat in NCAA championship (per Massey Purdue is #96). That is progress from last year's #127 and the team does look better, more talented and better coached.
Could be 8-1 with better QB play but could also be 4-5 with a few bounces of the ball.
Likeable coaching staff and players, work hard, at some point you pick plays/players and strive for good results.
Overall, 1st year in quite a while see an actual college football team representing UConn.
Would have been nice to make that easy interception.
 
6-3 is a good place, no doubt better than recent history.
Congrats to HCJM and his staff and to all the players.
However, this team is fragile in many areas, and QB play is most glaring. NE hasn't played a lot of D1 ball, he has had his bell rung a few times and has an extremely inaccurate arm. I feel he is not the QB that UConn should be counting on for the next few seasons to lead them to success.
I would like to see HCJM seek a QB as if UConn is in a league like the SEC or BIG12. I dont think NE or JF fit that bill. Perhaps the Texas Slinger would, but how do we know? The freshman could participate in limited in game action and still retain a redshirt status. Why hasn't UConn given him a look?
UConn is bowl eligible and that is a good thing. We have to take the little steps to get to the promised land.

And Rice is getting closer to adding 6-1 Navy to that list...

Love the win, but QB play continues to be poor. Less than 100 yards passing, what are we Army.

Oh to have the undefeated record of Army and be ranked #21. It's not how you get it done but the fact they get it done. ;)

This post made me sad, for those kids and for the Huskies. What do you tell these kids at the end of the season? Too early for that, but my mind went there.

My Husky heart goes out to your @ZooCougar post. It is now the new world order and not what the young men are told at the end of the season but what they say. I'm entering the portal, or I need more NIL money. That and here is what I have been offered, can you beat it?
Saw Cuse beat VT today, this with a star player that left Cuse for a season in the SEC only to transfer back. No longer an amateur sport.

We are a stepping stone for coaches and players, with a few die hard fans with dreams of the big time. I being one.......
