That was the best our offense looked all year. It's not a win but I feel the offensive coaches are finally figuring it out.
Better but not good enough.

Uconn is Uconn. We are all fans and cheer them on. I still stand by what I saw. Your view and mine differ. Cool.Alums, students and fans. WE ARE UCONN. We pay tuition, donate money, purchase tickets, pay taxes. WE ARE UCONN. Without us there is no University let alone a football team.
Stop being a doosh.
Wow. Now we are into moral victories and exhibition games. Program hasn't slipped much, eh?

At the end of the day, at this point, in our fourth year of losing, the only thing that will feel like a win is an actually victory over a quality opponent. Stony Brook don't count
And while it may not be a straight slope up, I feel like it is probably where the trend is going to go.The players are still playing. That is a win for HCBD.
I think we've seen the bottom and are on our way up.
But we are 1-6 though so were losers, I get what your saying its better then getting your ass kicked but we lost, moral victories are for losers.
I understand people want to win, but if you've watched us play any football this year, you certainly have to have lower expectations than being a Top 25 team on the road.
I think of us (reasonably) wanted to see some forward progress. Just any glimmer of hope that things could get better. And we did. And it felt good.
Sure, I'd love to win, but at this point, I'm absolutely taking moral victories, because I want to believe we made the right hire and that he's pushing this program in the right direction. I don't need a miracle worker. I just want to be competitive and win some football games again.
I can't even remember the last time we threw long completions through the air for TD's. It's been so long I've actually forgotten. It was exciting and actually watchable. I'll take it.
Win a few more games this year and I might even be excited for next year. We'll see!
Some of the fans are trying to find reasons to hope that the program will trend positively after years of decline and mediocrity. And that is okay because they are fans.Wow. Now we are into moral victories and exhibition games. Program hasn't slipped much, eh?
“There are no moral victories,” Diaco said. “We didn’t come here to play well, we came to a win a football game and we didn’t.”

So if we played at Alabama and lost by say 1, your response would be "what a bunch of losers"? That's pretty sad. Sports is entertainment, and that was entertaining. It's also educational, and those kids learned that if they work hard, execute and give their all, they belong on the field with a top 25 team in a hostile stadium. But I'm sure you don't see any value in that.
I guess all of our national championship basketball teams were a bunch of losers because they all lost games.
