Rosa TD

[Huskydog45]

Seriously? People here were pleased the USU coach didn’t push for a last score in that game, but when we do it it’s not just o.k. but a good thing? I’ve never cared one way or the other on scoring after a game is over — if it bugs you to be blown out, get better — but let’s not make our decision to do it heroic while we still don’t want it done on us.

Same situation….we just happened to score and they didn’t…..both teams ran rhe ball between the tackles…no passes…… and we were inside the 15 and USU was on about the 25 so different scenarios….USU likely wasn’t scoring from the 25 if they ran 3 more plays anyways..certainly nothing to get worked up about running your 4th string RB who hasn’t had a carry all year

“Took the passing game away” is a weird way to frame being completely unable to stop the run

Yep it's not pop warner football. We weren't up by 30. We were just running the ball. We did what you're supposed to do. Having a 28-3 win on the record just looks better, and we can use all the game reps we can get under the new regime.

Yeah, but betcha if the shoe were on the other foot a bunch of people would be trashing the other coach

It is funny though how results change perspective. UConn runs 53 times and throws 23 and all is right with the world. If we lost it would be nothing but complaints about the old fashioned offense.

hehe, it's an "influence" thing...

To me its establishing we can finish drives. I want this team well practiced and confident they can do that.

I woulda taken the knee, it’s the classier thing to do.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Am I crazy or was he lined up super far back behind turner on his TD?

 

[CTlifer]

Every person that puts on a Uconn uniform should be trying to make a big play. These guys are hungry, let them eat.

We needed a score to cover the -19.5 spread. The people who laid the points must have gone crazy with joy when Rosa scored. Personally I thought we would take a knee there. Glad I don't bet.....anymore.

It was an impressive run for Rosa. Charlton needs to get him more touches. I get we have other RB's doing nice things but our receivers are depleted and a bit lackluster at the moment, figure out a way to get Rosa more touches.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened but why put it on film now?

Well, then they don’t understand this team or this particular game. We have a young QB and missing talented receivers. And in this game, or any game where the O line can overpower the D, run, run run with enough passes to keep them honest. We will have plenty of games where the run won’t be good enough.

Just get him the ball in space. Kid's got wheels.

Is there video of this TD?

6:51 mark

He’s a bigger, faster version of a former #22, Arkeel Newsome.

Hey, as long as the other team is calling timeouts to stop the clock, we’re going to keep fighting. If they give up and let the clock run, then I’ll take a knee. Not before then. No shame in running the ball with our 4th string RB.

The TO is the key. Those "whatabout"ing this should (and likely would) be yelling at our own coaches, if they chose a TO there. CCSU was either playing it straight to end, just like us, or they signaled they were.
