Next three games are very winnable

[metsfan2323]

Temple, Tulsa, and Missouri. Reminds me a lot of Temple, Rutgers, and Memphis at the end of the 2013 season. I understand this place is gloom and doom right now but these are three winnable games coming up. What the team cannot do is let the emotions of the Memphis loss carry over into next week. Yesterday was Rock Bottom....

.... the turn around starts next week. Beat Temple and get this ship moving in the right direction. It's doable, believe in yourselves and make it happen. One spark can start a fire.

Not unless we can keep teams under 40 points.

Temple/ECU is on right now on ESPNU..this will be interesting to watch

Wave is crashing down on Tulsa... 42-7 in first half.

 

[huskysupporter]

Hate to say it but I can’t see this team winning another game. Has to be bottom 5 teams in nation right now.

You may be a bit confident in your belief Temple is a winnable game..LOL. Dead on in your assessment of Marchi by the way.

 

[BlueDogs]

Temple is in the bottom 10 in offense... I expect a shoot out nonetheless .

Unfortunately I feel the same.

The defense has shown the inability to learn or perform with the new defensive schemes. It has gotten progressively worse and this team is getting close to giving up mid-season like last year's team did.

Players aren't stupid. They know if they keep trotting out the same players in the same scheme the results will be similar.

 

[Stainmaster]

They're winnable in the sense that we will be awarded 60 minutes to see if we can score more points than each of those teams...

 

[BugsyCT]

48-7 Tulane at the half? Wow.

Temple is up on ECU 24-7 with a minute before the half. 316 Total yards offense, 227 of them passing.

24-3, actually, at ECU.

I actually still believe we can win the upcoming games too, but it requires the defense to get off the field on 3rd and 5 yards or longer. I don't have the stats from the last few games handy, but our third down percentage has to be horrible. Even on third and double-digit yards.

It's like the "Welcome to the Jungle" music is warning me that a big play for the opponent is about to happen...

To do that we'd need, at a minimum, either to be able to get the QB or be able to cover receivers one on one. As things stand right now we haven't shown the ability to do either one consistently.

I'm not hopeful about the rest of the season Dan.

Throw out the records and stats when we play. We make every team look like the Patriots.

Points against (FBS only):

UConn 49.5
Tulsa 46.0

Funny that you say that. I've really only started coming to games in the last 4 years and was telling my wife last night that this song is ruined for me! It has meant nothing but heartache over that time. I was happy when they changed it up with some Ozzy on a couple of plays.

And bring back the snarling dogs. It was the only positive thing about the Diaco era.

And, very glad to have O Fortuna back. To me that says UConn FB almost as much as the Block C.

It would appear that Temple has a defense.

Keep hope alive. There's no place for UConn to go but..................up! They can't stay this bad much longer.
The oddsmakers have USF listed as a 19.5-point favorite today with the total at 52.5 points. Who ya got???

 

[FDNY99]

It would appear that Temple has a defense.

Also appears Logan Marchi isn't that bad of a QB..add that to him having a HUGE chip on his shoulder next week for this game and it will be interesting to say the least.

Gonna have a chip on his shoulder for next week thats for sure...

 

[LoyalFanCT]

UConn can win against Temple, Tulsa, Missouri, BC and Cinci. And could even win a bowl game. Randy may be able to motivate the team to actually win.

 

[freescooter]

I think if we win and we might it will be 46-42 type game where we out score a team with little offensive fire power. Temple is on that list as is Missouri. I don’t know that we would win either but any future victory is coming by outscoring someone.
