Liberty Post Game Thread

[Chin Diesel]

That how you know it wasn't just luck. Can we say we are just as good as Liberty? I think so based on yesterday.

UConn clearly belonged on the field with Liberty. No difference on size, speed or skill.

Most everybody here wanted to play and beat a ranked team, so few paid attention to the fact that Liberty's analytics put them in about the same class as Fresno St. - a competent team pushing the top 50, but nowhere near the top 25. I got called out for saying Liberty's ranking was a fraud.

I would say our D is better than Liberty's, but the O isn't there yet, so I guess it balances out.

Hence yesterday's game. Three points for home field.

That's the bigger point. We don't really know where our O is. If UGA or Bama lost their top two WR, top two RB, and starting QB., they wouldn't be anywhere near their potential. What has happened this season in nearly a sports miracle.

Among the things that I found amusing in the game chat we're people saying ZT couldn't throw downfield.

You had the Clercius drop, then two other passes that were ill-advised due to tight coverage (one to Joly, can't recall target on other), where ZT tossed a bomb that would've dropped right into the WR's hands, in stride, if the coverage wasn't so tight (thus, the ill-advised part).

The kid can throw, and has a nice, tight ball. Seems to me ZT's issue is more locking on too early, not checking down quickly enough, and missing the guys who actually are open. Hopefully, that will come with experience.

I don't understand where the Zion can't throw the ball downfield stuff comes from. He clearly throws the best ball out of any UConn QB since Orlovsky. As you stated he has some issues to clean up but throwing a good ball certainly isn't one of them. It was apparent he could sling it since he took over the job.

It's incredible the jump UConn has made this season, especially after the win against Liberty:

Then why would his mother be proud?

Are you dumb? If the post was quoted from someone else…and wasn’t that person’s words. It wasn’t intended for who quoted it, but the person who said it. And since it wasn’t a name, then the response couldn’t be directed…

 

[RedStickHusky]

Are you dumb?

Fairly obvious that one of us is. You keep on doubling down though, bless your heart.

I saw it differently. They out yardaged us and out first downed us by big margins. I did think there was an overall difference in the speed of the two teams. We made all the big plays and won, but I didn’t think our combination of speed, size and athleticism was quite even with theirs.

If you can comprehend, there was no double down. You keep beating a dead horse when the first response clearly stated the response wasn’t for who quoted it but whomever actually said it. Just go cut your lawn with scissors…that doesn’t require too much thinking.

 

[RedStickHusky]

"Clearly" is clearly not your thing. I am sorry though, for responding to your actual words rather than whatever it is that you may have wished you said.

Casey Cochrane was better. Damn concussions.

 

[BlueandOG]

Ha! He can’t just give UConn props. He had to throw some love to Duke.

Dukie. V

Casey Cochrane was better. Damn concussions.

And probably Cody Endres. Damn weed....lol.

Exactly, can't get mad anymore, the guy just can't help himself.

I thought that against BC, and Fresno too.

But those things don’t matter. And honestly, I thought we were equals. Could you make a case that certain players they had were better? Sure. But overall team size and speed, I’m not convinced.

Fair enough.

I think the numbers were deceiving a bit.

Mitchell fumble recovery for a TD doesn't show up in total yards.

When it was 4th down and yards mattered UConn was equal to the task.

We won the game. I am ecstatic. That’s all that matters.

If we played that at home next Saturday do you think it would be a pick ‘em game? You’re welcome to. I don’t.

 

[Hoophound]

I loved Endres game. What a waste.

 

[superjohn]

I hope Casey and Jack are doing well today.

If UConn and Liberty played ten games it would be close to 50/50.

Liberty led country in sacks. They got zip. Defensive line for YConn was able to get a push and Oline held their own as well. Liberty had one great skill player and he was very effective. UConn had better depth of skill players.
Like you, I'm ecstatic over the win.

Michigan, SU and NC State clearly had better talent than UConn.

I won't concede that to any other opponent this year.
