never in doubt

That was a fugly win.

Well, you don’t get points for style. A win is a win. I’ll leave it at that.

 

[Forte]

never in doubt

So why did we abandon the run and Robinson last few games?

 

[phillionaire]

That was disgusting I need to take a shower after watching that

 

[Jaydumo20]

never in doubt

Ummm.... yeah. I was straight chillin.....

 

[IndyLives]

Total domination against a very good Rice team. It's a shame the refs stole the game from us last week or else we would be 6-2 and in the Top 25 tomorrow. Robinson one of the best backs in the country. Let's Go!

Game ball to entire D.

 

[cellocgg]

Man what happened to us

 

[Skiblets]

Love the win. But if we’re being honest , this offense has regressed in a major way. Other teams saw the Temple tape and Sammis hasn’t adjusted. First half offense in particular.

Happy. But extremely frustrated with this win.

3-0 against owls.

Other than Robinsons one TD run, the run game was straight up arse

 

[BugsyCT]

Hey, an ugly win is a win. D was solid all game. Robinson TD run turned the whole mood of the game around.

5-3 heading into Friday night vs GA State. Obviously we need to play much better, but we’re one more W from bowl eligibility.

How can Mora stick with Evers?

He is clearly not the guy.

Other than his one TD Run the whole offense was arse.

Defense was great

An ugly win is better than a loss. But even after the big blowout win against Buffalo, I was concerned if UConn's offense can do well if teams dare them to throw and shut down the running game. The answer to that is no.

He did adjust. We had wide open receivers the whole first half and couldn't complete the passes. It's time for a QB change but Mora is too stubborn

Hate having to run our D into the ground. It will catch up with us. Evers cannot start again. He’s slow, inaccurate and turnover prone. Can’t stick with a guy who is liability.

The receivers looked extremely frustrated.

It very well might be. What would UConn be developing Nick Evers for anyways that is worth sacrificing this year in a way? Develop him for next year? From what we have been told is that UConn is putting even more NIL money towards football to the tune of 1.5M. Use that to get a much better QB. Skylar Bell and TJ Sheffield are great playmaking weapons but UConn needs someone that can get them the ball consistently.

Anyone thinking we are going to waltz to 8-4 is not thinking clearly. The next two games are pickems.

 

[BlueWolf25]

We’ve now seen Evers against a bottom barrel defense, so the claim that Evers would have shredded Buffalo and Merrimack the same way Fagnano did is out the window now. Evers being in obviously isn’t opening up the run game either anymore. I’m not here to bash Evers, but we need to try Fagnano again since he’s proven his ability to get the ball to playmakers. This game could’ve been a blowout if we hit our open receivers all game

 

[3rdbass]

That was a fugly win.

Yeah I came up for the game from Atlanta and that first half was brutal. I'm not sold on Evers as a starting QB. I really wish we saw Fagnano in but I guess we will live and die with Evers as QB. Rice might of beat us if they had their starting QB. Ugly win but I will take it.

Loved the Bell catch down the field after getting mugged and no PI call.
