Brock needs to answer some questions.

I also fundamentally don’t understand why we didn’t run the ball today.

 

[JcHusky95]

Defense is pretty unreliable!!!

 

[phillionaire]

how did those nerds from rice look so much stronger than us

 

[UConnJim]

Our running game is missing.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

PINSTRIPE BOWL STILL IN PLAY?!

 

[gsmooth]

Aaaaaaaand this is why UConn Football is not taken seriously. Absolutely soul crushing loss. UConn Football comes up small when they had chances to put this game away and take the next big step for this season. The win against Boston College is erased with a loss to this awful Rice team.

Don't want to hear a word out of Mora after this game. Outcoached so badly today by a lousy Rice team in an empty stadium. UConn deserved to lose.

0-3 in OT this year. Unreal.

 

[gioff2323]

Embarrassing

It's downright terrible. They just can't tackle consistently.

 

[cthog]

Go for 2. Did he actually think this defense would make a stop in OT?

 

[KryHavok]

0-3 in overtime losses on the road. Last year we had a running game and a defense, this year we have a passing game and something that wants to be defense but isn't quite there. We had 6-2 and bowl eligibility in our hands...smh, let's hope they get back on track next week.

 

[Mora4Prez]

Someone needs to get fired.

 

[Milo65]

Defense is just plain terrible! TERRIBLE!

 

[superjohn]

Brutal loss, Rice lost by 50 to UTSA last week.

Mora is mediocre at best.

I hated watching this entire game. And yet I still watched the whole thing. Sober, no less.

Tackling was awful. Defense was predictably weak; so few of the players seem to have that killer instinct. Ground game gave us nothing. Offense had many chances to put the game away and did nothing. Had a chance to secure a bowl game and just let it pass us by. Felt almost predictable from the moment we gave up that huge TD run in the first quarter.

We keep losing winnable games in OT and it’s nauseating.

 

[Mora4Prez]

I guess I’ll shoot for 8-4 but this is really pathetic.

 

[Fatroony5]

You have to go for 2 in the second OT anyway, I don’t understand the logic of kicking the extra point there when your defense has been gashed all day. Offensive playcalling was horrific today as well, just such a frustrating way to lose.

 

[RitzLuce1]

I do not want to hear the same performative crap from Mora in the postgame.

His teams throws away games due to HORRIBLE situation awareness, execution, coaching, and football IQ.

Hands them away.

Well thanks for making us no longer the worst program in D1. But this is going to get old REAL REAL fast.

UConn got beaten in the trenches on both sides of the ball.

 

[storrsroars]

After the first play, I was expecting at least 56 points from our O today.

Aside from the D, whatever Joe and Sammis had in 1st half they lost in 2nd. 2nd half O was awful in both design and execution.

How about Mora. THis is HIS program. These are his coaches and players.

This is what he was at UCLA. Mediocrity personified.

 

[How Sway?!]

Awful awful awful. From the offensive calling, to the defensive mishaps, to the scared decisions, just awful.

Just when you have an smidge of hope they are more than just another mid team, they show they are just a mid team. Zero consistency or building off one game to the next.

We tried to run but Cam was having an off day and that Frosh RB from Norway was only one that showed signs of life but he only got a couple of carries. Why I don’t know.
