Sorbet and Turds in the Puunch Bowl

[Chin Diesel]

There were a bunch today.

Fagnano with 3 turnovers. And all of them were bad field position mistakes.

Sammis kept calling red zone plays for Fagnano to roll right. They were all bad. And then he calls the student body left with Fagnano passing back to the right. That normally would be in running for worst call of the game. Today it might not have been top 5 worst calls.

Credit to Black, Woodbury and King. Each of them was better than any UConn OLine player.

Worst game of the year for UConn D wrapping up amd gang tackling. Credit to Temple players. They kept falling forward for 2-3 yards after being wrapped up.

It was mentioned in the game chat..every FG by Freeman mattered today. I almost felt confident in him by the end of the game.

I get why Temple went for the win, but they should have kicked the FG and gone in to OT.

I felt like today with the referee's first game on a mic. He did a great job butchering the English language.

WFU, Ga Southern, Rice, UAB and UMass. 4-1 seems like a worst case scenario.

The Game at 'cuse will be a bigger game for the program than whatever bowl game UConn goes to in December.

UConn really needs two transfer QB's who can play immediately. Fagnano is done and Evers is susceptible to injuries. Good news is Sammis' offense lends itself to a quality RPO QB.

I noticed #75 was on the field for the last play and was the lineman following Wright down the field. On the UConn roster Lundt is only player listed wearing #75. Was it Doriyan Johnson??

Watch it again, it was 15 - Tui

Temple has like 200 total yards. If that's the worst game of the year for the defense then I feel sorry for anyone we play moving forward

As preposterous as your theory sounds, I'll give it a look again tomorrow, when I habe way less Tito's in my system.

Correct. Defense was put in crappy spots several times amd stood strong. As I said give some credit to Temple in that their backs always seemed to fall forward or break the first tackle.
UConn has been real good since Marylamd wrapping up ball carriers and minimizing yards after contact. Temple was way better than FAU or Buffalo at doing that.

D was very good until the last minutes. They were gassed but pulled it together for an amazing goal line stand.

Agreed. The defense wasn't perfect but they only gave up 13 points, and mostly because of bad field position and turnovers. That last goal line stand alone should shield them from any criticism whatsoever.

I think Temple was like 2/13 on third down. Impressive D all game.

I actually saw that one. Lol

This is a very different team today than it was when the season started.

I think, for me at least, winning against either Wake or Cuse will prove that program has turned the corner.

Every team on the schedule with exception of Maryland, Duke, Wake and Cause is beatable.

That doesn't mean that we'll win against the remaining winnable games on the schedule, things happen, But IMO, we need a signature win and beating Wake and or Cuse will elevate the status of the program.

I thought the defense was great and as bad as Fagnano was missing receivers it should have been just 1 turnover. He threw a strike to Sheffield which would've been a first down and it went through his hands for the interception. On the fumble Fagnano was down and the refs still blew the call after reviewing it.

They didn’t blow it, the call on the field was a fumble, which it looked like in real time, and there was zero evidence that he still had possession when his knee was down. If the positions were reversed I along with all of us would be livid if they overturned that call with no evidence to support that conclusion. In the end, hold on to the damn ball. “You’re killing me petey!”

They absolutely blew it, his knee was down when he still had the ball.

FWIW, the ref today, Marcus Woods, is considered one of the top referees in college football. He worked the National Championship game in January (Michigan vs. Washington).
