Syracuse post game thread

Gotta put it behind them and get ready for Delaware next week.

That is key, don't let it effect next week. Shake it off and move on, the season is young.

Honestly impressive we lost that game. That was some scared coaching right there. I also hope we stop babying Fagnano. He is too inconsistent.

If he's inconsistent... why would you want to "turn him loose"

Yes it was an entertaining game but participation trophies against P4 teams isnt good enough anymore my standards are higher then most fans.

Overall, great game. We looked very good at times, and the drive for the final field goal was excellent (Bell is amazing). The two issues I saw were 1) we stopped playing to win when we thought we had it in the bag. Run run run punt is never going to win a game. The OC really really really messed up, and 2) Joe and the receivers were not in sync a lot of the time. Joe had some bad throws, and there were a few easy drops.

Anyway, my heart is broken but my faith in the future is strong. We will beat at least one of the ACC teams this year.

We need to start beating decent teams. This was the year and we couldn't get it done.

I can't appreciate a 'good game" when im this invested in the team that loses. If my wife fell in love with another guy I wouldnt say "okay, hes a pretty good dude"

lol…..now there’s an analogy

When your punter has the opportunity to show he’s a star that’s a bit concerning

 

[Rdkid]

Tough one. Had field position on O & 4th and 4 on D FTW. SU could do things on O we can’t.
Every game on the schedule is winnable.

I wouldn’t even call them a decent team. They’re staring at a 4-8 year.

So was the 6 OT loss at MSG, but I never wanted to go back and watch it again.

I still haven't to this day. Not because it hurts per se, but because, just like this football game, UConn had so many chances to finish that game with FTs before it went to so many OTs.

Yeah obviously it sucks but I can appreciate a thriller of a game. I'd rather lose the way we did than not take the game to OT.

Sometimes you can just appreciate a good game instead of feeling upset that your team lost

I truly can’t understand the mindset of people who are fine with this loss.

 

[ArtTheFan]

I have to say ..what a heartbreaker! Amazing game though.

Would of been one of the biggest wins in recent Uconn football history, definitely would of perked up some ears across CFB. To bad our coach played scared in the 4th quarter. Can't give them the ball back with a chance to win.

 

[shakes65]

Coaching malpractice, playing not to lose instead of playing to win

Absolutely. I am disgusted. We had the win in our sight and never threw a pass until the last possession.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

No moral victories. We choked.

 

[gsmooth]

95% chance to win and they played not to lose. Probably the worst loss I can remember considering this program desperately needs to win these games.

They should've won that game something like 24-6.

They had so many chances to at least at a minimum take more time off the clock. Sammis did not trust Fagnano, and in some ways I can't blame him.

 

[Revrat]

everyone keeps saying we turtled. maybe a bit on the last drive but the two before that we were passing on first down for no reason when the run game was going well

 

[mike012]

I considered that pretty standard operational procedures by UConn. Look good, do nothing for a while, and then eventually lose.

 

[DawgEnjoyer]

This hasn’t been confirmed yet….

But a source close to someone on the team told me that Randy Edsall snuck into the coaches box and called plays for the second half.

 

[TMB4405]

a lot had to go wrong to lose but we allowed it by being soft with the offensive gameplan all secomd half.

 

[REB1094]

I am sad.

Can’t lose that one

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

3rd down play calling was the worst i've ever seen.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Correct. Nothing ever changes.

 

[noeynox]

Play NOT to lose, GUARANTEED to lose. Defense gave the offense the ball back up 11 how many times? You over here punting like p!@#$ all 2nd half.
