Game Week - UConn vs. Wagner (8/29/19 @ 7p on ESPN3)

[huskymedic]

Pass defense and pass rush look visibly better. Passing attack and run defense are still bad even by FCS standards

Geez - take away the 55yd TD run and they held them to 48yds rushing?

That was a rough call on the face mask. Clearly grabbed the shoulder, but probably a make up call on the late hit. Coaches will have lots to work on this upcoming week.

Ugly win but a W is a W I guess.

What does that have to do w/ run defense bud...

oh boy
cant wait to hear what the bashers are going to say
it is a win BUT no way it should have been that close
the late hit was total bs
this team will struggle to win 3 games
was the D better? yes but the missed tackles are still there
The passing game was anemic at best - will UConn ever use a TE? Wagners TE had a field day
Lots and lots of work to do
watching Cinci vs UCLA makes me sick UConn won't score and wont stop Cinci
this should have been a 35-10 score

Gonna be another long year

 

[Coach J]

The plusses from tonight:

1. A win is a win
2. The Defense didn't look like they were in the prevent from the opening snap.
3. Art Thompkins
4. Matt Drayton
5. Kevin Mensah
6. Not one but 2 sacks in big spots
7. Flawless in extra points and FGs
8. And thankfully our punter Kicks Ass!

The defense looked better but than again it was against Wagner. They need to tighten things up on defense and do something different on offense with more play action and take a couple of deep shots when eleven within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage.

I'll take the win, but should have been by a couple of touchdowns and not a field goal

UConn does just enough to beat Wagner 24-21, claim first win of 2019 season

It didn’t matter that the margin was narrow. It didn’t matter that the opponent was an FCS team. After UConn beat Wagner 24-21 on Thursday night at Rentschler Field, the postgame locker…

LOL yeah Edsall totally changed the game plan because receivers were hurt.

You’ll know UConn gives a mouse’s behind about football when they stop paying that guy 7 figures.

That was definitely a glass 1/2 full press conf from Edsall.
