Positivity here

you don't think the way towson played last night they couldn't beat most fbs teams? I mean who knew they had the ability to drive down field they way they did. They were jacked up for that game. Yeah the huskies looked bad with the penalty at the goal line and fumbled snap on 3rd and short, but whitmer was throwing the ball downfield better than he did last year, and mccombs actually got some good gains, its not all bad.

No, I absolutely do NOT think that they could. I don't care that they were competitive for a few quarters against LSU a year ago. The fact of the matter is that they DOMINATED the trenches for the entire game. Power in the trenches is supposed to be what separates FBS from FCS and SEC from everyone else (everyone can have talented skill players). The fact of the matter is that even if other teams don't play as well as Towson, they certainly have the talent to rip through our embarrassment of an o-line and kill Whitmer even more effectively.

What happened last night is an utter disgrace. Period. Sometimes an FCS team rises up and beats an FBS team. It does happen, and I can live with it happening (if it can happen to Michigan and VT, then it can happen to UConn). But they do not, repeat, do not, come in and absolutely dominate the game. They humiliated UConn, period. Any positive takeaways are useless unless they appear against real FBS competition (really good FCS competition is not sufficient).

That's what hurt the most. I can stomach losing to an Appalachian St on a blocked field goal, or to Villanova on a tipped pass that goes for a last second TD, but getting mauled, outplayed, outhustled and embarrassed at home to a team that has never before beaten an FBS school was as dismal as it gets. As others have commented, the score could have been actually worse than it was.
