Game Week 2025: UConn @ FAU Owls (Saturday 11/22/25 @3p at Flagler Credit Union Stadium) Game on ESPN+. Audio on Varsity Network & FoxSports 97.9

Steve Cully on the Schuman podcast on YouTube with Joe D said Juice should be back next weekend. He’s friends with Mike Burton. Hopefully we find out some more tomorrow at Mora’s presser. If any of the reporters bother to show up.

Juice is not on today’s depth chart. At least the injury does not appear to be season ending and he can and will decide to play in the bowl game.

Would love to see Mel play today also.

I believe Mora said Brown will be involved at least a little, him playing does not impact his ability to RS.

Offense will need to be aggressive today. FAU has a great passing game…offense will need to keep up.

 

[BlueWolf25]

Yep, we’re going to have to score a lot of points today to win

 

[Chin Diesel]

All blue. Thank goodness.

 

[Jimdish255]

All blue. Thank goodness.

It's pretty hot down here. I would have put them in all white if we had the option.

 

[Scoe]

Offense will need to be aggressive today. FAU has a great passing game…offense will need to keep up.

Wanna see 5-7 minute drives resulting in 7 unless of course we get quick 7's, can't abandon the run either would be nice to have Joe on his game. Imagine FAU will be guarding against the big plays so need to be prepared for what they throw at us and adjust. Neider hasn't done much the last 2 games would like to see him get going and involve Smith and Brown into the game plan more.

 

[Hoophound]

Warmest day in a while.

 

[Jimdish255]

We got white jerseys which is a good thing in my opinion.

FAU won the toss and deferred:

Glad that they won, but that defense was very offensive to say the least

Box Score

 

[BugsyCT]

A couple tidbits going into this game - Joe Fagnano is only 5 yards away from 3,000 passing yards for the season (DanO is the only other UConn QB to do that), and Skyler Bell needs 7 receptions to reach 100 for the season. That's an impressive amount of receptions, especially for a UConn WR (the 2nd most receptions on the team is Reymello Murphy with 29). Noel Thomas currently holds the school record with 100 catches in 2016.

-> Connecticut stayed undefeated against Florida Atlantic, improving to 3-0 against the Owls. The Huskies are now 6-5 against teams from the American Conference since becoming an independent starting in the 2021 season. <-

 

[Flipside]

Thank you to all that came out, including President Radenka Marić

Looks like DB is pretty confident UConn will get a bowl game. If anyone would know…..it’s him.

Pretty poor fact checking on their part. Confusing UConn with UNH is brutal.

Never thought in a million years we'd win a game where we almost gave up 700 yards of total offense. Glad to be proven wrong! Though let's stop giving up almost 700 yards. Lol
