This team simply does not know how to win.

It doesn't help that the coaches never make adjustments. But when game is put in anyone's hands, they fail.

When you rely on the other two phases of the game to bail out the O each week... Sometimes that plan doesn't work. I'm disgusted.

P. was the DC of the Cowboys and helped turn them around.

Unfortunately, as UConn head man he coaches scare and is loyal to coaches rather than players.

Post was spot on.

Football has 3 parts, and they both have equal importance - Offense, Defense, and Special Teams. People love to talk offense, but the other two are just as important.

This was a poor effort by each unit. Running game was abyssmal, defense gave up a boatload of rushing yards, and failed to prevent two 4th down conversions, and we missed 4 field goals.

Just a horrible showing all around.

Late in the game the defense stopped two fourth and one attempts on their side of the field. They cannot be blamed for giving up the final score when the rest of the team melted down around them. They held Temple to seven points for 59:40 of the clock. During which time, the kicker missed 3 field goals that would have put Uconn up 10, making the final scoring drive moot. They get some blame for giving up the final two plays of the drive, but it should never have come to that.

This. You want to blame somebody? Blame our OL who wasn't able to get any semblance of a power rushing game going and also let Temple get Whitmer from the 2nd quarter onwards. Giving up a sack / fumble on a 3 man rush? Pathetic. Our OL and Christen get stuck with this one. Not the D. They held when it counted on four 3rd & 1 / 4th & 1 downs. They didn't do it three times in a row and we shouldn't have needed to count on that if we had been able to kick a field goal or been able to drive the ball.

Complete BS!! The Defense did not crack. They were left hanging.....again, after three + solid quarters of football. If you can't expect your offense to score 17 points against a team just moving up to the FBS, then you are screwed. They held them to 7 points for the majority of the game. How many chances did the offense have to score just on more time? Today was in no way on the Defense.
