Temple Post Game Thread

United. lol.

Lol!! It was a gif that popped up. If I could choose a team the guy played for, ManU would never have been the choice

To the folks who left early.....

UConn did not deserve to win. The guy who recovered the fumble and ran for a game-ending touchdown should be criticized by Mora. Jump on the fumble, game over. Risking the fumble-return could result in a further fumble to be returned for a Temple win.

That was a selfish look-at-me move. Team first, please.

I'm sorry, they scored more points and they made a great stop. They absolutely positively deserved this win

They didn't play their best, but they played just as good or better than Temple.

 

[willie99]

Thanks to us winning, I can gripe about the refs without sounding like spur grapes.

What a horrible horrible crew. First drive the call us short when Cam got the first down by two yards. Then they call back the long Fagnano run with a bs holding call. And the biggest of them all was the fumble call when there was clear evidence Fagnano's knee was down.

I don't get that horrible first drive call. Just horrible. No automatic review? And why no challenge by Jim? I couldn't believe the spot

The 'Miami Miracle' kickoff return TD to beat Duke in 2017

Flutie and BC beating the Hurricanes on the last minute hail mary throw

Auburn beating Alabama on a 105 yard kickoff return-known as the 'Kick Six' game-with zeroes on the clock

Sam Cunnigham and an integrated USC team going on the road and absolutely laying waste to Alabama-the last Bear Bryant team that openly avoided rostering African American players

Michigan State v. Notre Dame in '66
I could go on......

I love the team, I love the win, I love your attitude..... butt no

 

[willie99]

Nope. Fake news. Fagnano just needs to keep the ball lower, he is not throwing to Clingan. The coaches need to "emphatically" instruct him to "BRING THE BALL DOWN. Also stop throwing everything to the sidelines. The deeper thros are a challenge to NFL QBs.

He can pass better than Brissett

 

[Skiblets]

Me neither. No need for peacocking after this game. Look your opponent in the eyes, shake their hand, and move on.

It’s bush league

 

[willie99]

They were celebrating after a nail biting win, no disrespect, no peacocking, just pure elation

We’re talking about the twitter post that morphed Temples T logo into an L. No need for that

 

[Bomber36]

It broke at the end and we almost gave the game away...

The defense was the real reason we won the game.

 

[todbo]

We won as soon as Temple did not score on the final play. Outstanding defensive effort!

And why not go to Stafford on 4th and very short? It was very successful last year. I can only assume that Sammis is not a fan of that play.

 

[UConnJim]

One thing that UConn has that they haven't had in a very long time is depth. Think about all of the key players out. Evers, Rosa, Yates, Bell and Edwards in the 2nd half, ... Lost 2 DBs (Akles and Engram) who were supposed to be major contributors before the season started. But, others stepped up and UConn won.

 

[ninety-nine]

I posted in the wrong thread, I was referring to a different Huskies. My bad.

Happens to me occasionally when I reference UConn sports programs on the Seahawks SB Nation board too. Everyone assumes UW. I've learned to be specific.

P.S. Let's go Sun!

 

[CONN78SEJ]

But they shut down all three of our running backs. You think NE would have run all over them? Strange take.

I don’t think his take is so strange. If his receivers are covered he still has two backs, and a tight end to block for his speedy legs running up either slot. He could even fake a handoff and roll out from there. I do agree though that running up the middle against Temple, and he’s asking for another concussion. What’s sad is if Fagnano had Evers legs we’d have a really, really good quarterback.

Unfortunately, if Fagnano could run like Evers, he wouldn't be at UConn. At least not yet...

 

[Bongo Fury]

Guys we're 4-2 at the halfway mark - surely a more comprehensive "half-way" post by one of the Boneyard professors is coming, but this is awesome.

im very unsure of how many more victories we can muster based on our performance today (except maybe umass). But to only "need" 2 more games to go bowling, is a testament to JM.

I also was thinking, that the goal line fumble by Temple was our payback moment for last year's blocked punt against Utah State. We've lost lucky, today we won with a little luck... finally.

This was a different type of game that UConn hadn't won before.
good to see.

Was also thinking payback for that game against Navy that seemed to end their season.

 

[Bomber36]

What bugs me about it is, we had the first down on the third down play. I’m not sure what the refs were looking at or why it wasn’t reviewed. It was early, but definitely a momentum shifter. We were pushing them around.

 

[CONN78SEJ]

True, unfortunately. Begs the question who was UConn’s best dual threat?

 

[noeynox]

They pulled one out the fire. After so many years of brutal losses, think Navy, Army goal line debacles, i cannot believe anyone would be upset by the manner in which we won. The last 2 weeks really have people thinking the last decade and a half didn't happen or something.

 

[Khal Drogo]

Maybe not the cleanest game but the defense showed up big when they needed them the most!

Why does she have a jaw breaker in her mouth

 

[Palatine]

Good morning, I had the strangest dream last night about a football game were a goal line stance turned into a TD for the defense. Weird.


I call it -- THE ROBBERY AT THE RENT -- UConn stole one yesterday.

 

[CONN78SEJ]

Why are people so excited about beating Temple by 9 points? I think Mora just lost his job tonight #bringbackdiaco

Maybe because we were due for an upset loss at home and it didn’t happen, and the last time Temple visited the Rent they beat us by 50 points.

I wish it was that easy to get rid of the last 14 years.

Was it easy for Uconn basketball fans to forget about 14 years of disappointments after they hired Calhoun in the mid 80’s? 1999 was sweet.
