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.

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.

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"

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

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.

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.

To get to where we want to go we have to start winning games like this, and then we need to win games like this consistently.

As far as anyone looking at scores is concerned, this is just the same old UConn.

And the thing is, we had it. What a terribly disappointing loss.
 
Like everyone else, an extremely frustrating loss, where UConn had all the chances to put the game away, early and couldn't get it done offensively, with a couple of missed passes and a couple of drops. The break on the mixed-up buzz for replay on a fumble call (that never looked like a fumble) in the second half, not only gave them back 2nd down, it also broke momentum and gave the Orange back the 5 seconds they needed to kick the field goal at the end of the first half. The defense had a few big play hiccups throughout so the margin never felt comfortable.

Two big plays to tie the game, but not enough left in the tank to stop the Orange offense in the final 5 minutes.
 
There were many plays where we can pinpoint that couldve swung the game in our favor. Skyler Bell, Mel Brown, Tyrece Mills stuck out to me big time. Lets get the next one.

Our OC called Edsall style play calling in the second half. We gave this game away. We should have won 24-6 but OC went super conservative with zero trust in Fagnano. The D played great for the most part. This loss is completely on Sammis. He is not a D1 caliber OC. It sucks, but this is a defeat snatched from the jaw of victory.

It’s an unacceptable loss and yes I said this going in. You had a chance to put it in your own hands. Guys didn’t step up when they had to.

Look at it this way. Game shows UCONN has improved to the point, on the field, where football may be viable for a P4 conference. Now the fans need to show out win or lose. That is a huge step up in a couple of years.
 
Defense punched above it's weight all game and kept giving the ball to the offense to just put anyyyyyy points on the board all second half and they couldn't do it. One blown coverage and the game changed and the offense went even more into their shell. They were selling out on the zone run, gotta have some sort of counter in the play book for that.
