Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 5332119, member: 4613"] This isn't complicated. Maybe it wasn't a must win game at opening kick-off but it became a must win game up 17-6 with 7 minutes left. Let's just say the football program blew it. UConn is in a unique situation unlike any other program. Many outsiders still perceive UConn as a fledgling program that no conference wants. No, one game doesn't make a difference for [B]most [/B]programs and it doesn't make a difference whether UConn lands in a conference, but a long series of games do. We know the financial disadvantage we are at just trying to win a single P4 game but outsiders don't care. They only care about W's. Under our beloved HC Jim Mora and I mean that 100% 2022 1-3 vs P4 beating bcu 2023 0-4 vs P4 2024 1-4 vs P4 including 3 close losses and the Fenway Bowl victory 2025 0-1 vs P4 so far with games against bcu and duke remaining. We don't know how good those 3 ACC teams will perform this year but the W over cuse which was circling the hole would have gone a long way to giving UConn some much needed cred. UConn plays 3 ACC, 3 American, 2 CUSA, 2 MAC, and 1 MWC programs. It's a very winnable schedule for most programs. UConn absolutely has to beat duke or bcu and not sheet the bed against G5 programs. The cuse game was a mega lost opportunity. [/QUOTE]
