I’m watching North Dakota State move the ball against Iowa State. They have a 33 year old O coordinator who came from FCS. We can make all the excuses we want. We continue to hire retreads and/or insane coaches instead of looking for innovative young talent. Did Lashlee have more talent than this UConn team? I don’t know, but with his schemes, he was able to move the ball.

Mora, I guess. But his knowledge of defense over the last four years is suspect. His teaching his defense to tackle is negligible. Don't hurt boys.

With what? One of us?
Can we afford his buyout? UConn will not spend the money for P4 level coaches. Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.

If it was year four or five, maybe even six of crappy fb, this game carries no extra meaning. Ten years (not counting two years ago and 2015) of inept unbearable football make it impossible to think this team can rebound off this game. The Mora trust clock is ticking quickly. In his defense though, I’m not quite sure there is a coach out there rn who could pull this program from the hell depth of non conference status. That team looked dead in the water after the first Maryland TD and carried the stank that there was no way they were going to overcome even a fourteen point deficit.
Already BY wants to get rid QB and the whole coaching staff after one game. I do not blame you after seeing the performance on the field today. No improvement over last year even though supposedly upgraded the talent. The coaches are not good. Could UConn compete for FCS title?

Start Welliver next week. Not sure what they have to lose. You know what u have in Fagnano, Evers is raw and seems to be the exact same QB that was on the roster for 2 seasons! Let the prototypical pocket passer do that. If Bell is one of the better wideouts in the past few years then let a true pocket passer throw it. Live with the picks.
Whole game was a disgrace. Just an absolutely gutless performance. Coaching was absolutely awful. Execution was terrible. Mora punting on fourth and 2 at midfield down 29 in the fourth….cmon dude
Same old same old. Lets get one against Merrimack next week

Uconn may lead FBS football in targeting ejections at the end of week 1. Shameful that those were UConn's hardest hits. Mora, how about benching the next guy who does that. Give them a designated seat on bench. Coaching tip . . . tell your players NOT TO DO IT, EVER.
Nothing to lose but Welliver is not mobile so defense lineman will come straight at him not concerned with his wheels. You better hope the OL can pass block.
What did anyone expect. I mean really. A line coach with no OC reps jumps into a FCS game against a P4. Just ridiculous and it showed.

what are we doing EXISTENTIALLY wrong, as a program? not just today, but overall, i mean.
like... i have no theories at this point. This past week I've been watching North Dakota, Western Carolina, ND State, hold their own against respectable FBS power programs. I doubt they have great NIL collectives, if at all.
Like... what in tarnation.

I’ve found a new level of frustration now with the evolving college sports landscape. I thought it couldn’t get worse, but it has.
It is still so frustrating and disappointing to watch this program. Complete incompetence and embarassment…but honestly, I am used to that at this point.
But I felt a new level of frustration now as well. Knowing that we are paying these players over $1MM…it makes it even more frustrating and unbelievable. I just think of how much of a difference $1MM could make in this world.
This is not the players fault, so not blaming them for getting paid. Just relaying this new level of frustration that I have now started feeling. I thought my level of frustration couldn’t get worse…but they’ve found a way to make me feel even more flabbergasted watching this program.
I will continue to watch and support this program. But I completely understand why there are very few of us left. This program is impossible to get any joy out of or enjoy.

This was always going to be a bad mismatch for us. I figured 45-14. I just think it is hard to keep focus when you are badly overmatched. I agree if we don’t pound Merrimack something is very wrong.
The biggest challenge for this program is there is not enough talent in this area of the country. If we want more talented players from other parts of the country we need some success for them to want to come and stay here. Catch 22
Their fans are self loathing. Ours are self hating
But there is in North Dakota and South Dakota… na, bad recruiting, bad evaluation and no coaching fundamentals.
Average BIG and SEC teams have NIL at $5 million. Our NIL would put us in top 10% of G5 teams. We have much total NIL for MBB. But I understand it UConn fans only want to watch teams have a chance at a national championship. Which in all likelihood never will happen in FBS.
