How many Boneyarders will need therapy after tomorrow’s game ?

Realistic Optimism. It's all about the trenches. We need to score double-digits..
 
I just want to see a competent football team that doesn't suffer PTSD if they quickly go down 2 TDs in the first quarter. I don't want to suffer PTSD from watching this game and seeing completely inept football. I'm not expecting a win. I'm expecting a football team that looks hungry to compete for 4 quarters and shows signs of actual improvement. I also want to see a modern offense for once!

Team was actually competitive in the first quarter last year against most teams including the better teams on the schedule. It was the second qtr that was a massacre and turned most games in to a blowout by half time.

That's why I'm with you of having a team which is competitive for four quarters being a measure of improvement.
 
I think our BY collective goals for this game are relatively modest. After the game we want to be able to say, "WOW!!! We did NOT see THAT coming!!!"

But personally I would be OK with 10 points scored, and a half dozen forced punts by the D.
 
Since his hire, Coach Mora has been a breath of fresh air, saying all of the right things in public.
He has done a lot of upgrading through the transfer portal, bringing in players who are counted on for upper class leadership.
I want to see a Husky team that plays competitive football, not one that goes into a cocoon at the first sign of adversity.
Was listening on the radio that USU was a 1 win team two seasons ago & had a miracle turnaround last season with a new coaching staff. Just hope that this season shows dramatic improvement in all phases.
If UConn plays well today, regardless of the final score, I will be happy.
If they should pull out a win, the post-game celebration will last all week!

I'm watching looking for the same thing I've looked for the last few years. Signs of progress. A team that stays in it and competes without visibly putting their heads down and giving up in the face of adversity.

The little things beyond that, competency on the offensive line; keeping contain on the edges, not giving up a 12 yard cushion on 3 and 6. I want to feel good watching the game through the second half and (even if the game is probably decided) not feel like I've seen enough to be ready to change the channel.

Agree 100% We actually played good football for a half and then as the season went on it became a quarter before the D became demoralized.

I want to also see us make adjustments at halftime if things are getting exposed over and over. Too often last year we'd go into the half knowing what needed to be fixed and come out doing the same thing and putting it on a silver platter for the other team.
 
Good question by the OP, it's great to live in the Matrix of social media and the new beginnings of Uconn FB in our minds. But now comes the real world, SO LET'S GO NEO !

Utah State lost many key players from last year. They lost 5 of their top 6 receivers including the top 3 who had 10, 10 and 11 TD receptions last year and 4 of their top 5 tacklers including their sacks leader. They do bring back their starting QB and starting RB from last year, but Utah State could have some growing pains to start the season.

And they could see us as warm up. Remember they play Alabama the following week. It would be easy to look past our Huskies.

I've got my layer of cynicism in place as a defense measure. But, you know, it's still a day of lowering expectations and rising hopes and wondering why there's still such a gap between the two...

No therapy here. We could get blown out in a tough environment. The measuring stick really starts to come into play around game 5 or 6.

True, unless we underperform vs. an FCS team next week. Like last year. Strike that. Like the last 10 years.
 
Before the season starts I'd just like to hop on here and say-- I've very much enjoyed the past 10 months since Mora was hired discussing, analyzing, and getting hyped for the 2022 season on here. Watching the team, fanbase, and culture change has been a blessing and I'm so happy we're anticipating this year so highly. Shoutout to everyone who's been here through the rough... We've all waited for it and the time is now! Let's go Huskies!!!

First Black & Orange of the season to prepare me for whatever is about to happen. #pleasedontsuck

Second quarter turd parade again today. Obviously not a blowout by halftime but USU took a 14-point deficit and turned it in to a double-digit lead at the half.

Yeah they unraveled in the second quarter. And that absolutely has to stop. But then they got it together again. That hasn’t happened in a while and was very encouraging.

Yes, getting off the ropes, holding USU scoreless in the 3rd and making a comeback is not something that happened against the better half of the schedule last year.
 
I was medicated enough for all possible scenarios. Having said that, I’m happy I don’t need additional counseling.
