Temple Post Game Thread

Fagnano plays horrible all game and yet he pulls out THAT pass in the game winning drive.

What a gutsy, gutsy win.

A lot to clean up for the next game

And they have 2 weeks to do so. That's 2 weeks for Evers to recover and for Skyler Bell.

Happy about the win, but let’s put to rest the Fagano should be QB1 crap. Evers gotta be the guy when healthy. Win that much more comfortably with him today.

Fumble aside, it looked like they were stuffed on that play…but who knows what the refs would have allowed

Looked like he was stopped, but the fumble return was worth it. A school record for a fumble return?

You know that how?

I’ve watched that ending 5 times and it’s crazy. We lose games like that we don’t win them. Man I don’t care score or beauty points just win baby and they did. Congrats to the kids. And god bless the portal.

off week next week?

We have a bye

The Mets, then THAT???@!!! Amazing

As a Phillies fan, this ending saved me from a dark depressing sports night. Go Huskies!!

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.

The D line stood up their line. Wow. That's was manning up. Good for them. Good for UConn.

Need to keep Evers healthy. He is the better QB.

 

[rich1122]

Sheffield emerging as a #2 receiver is great news for our offense. Please make Robinson the #1 back.

OL played horribly today. No idea what happened out there.

These guys played Army and Navy. What else can prepare you for the run.

GREATEST ENDING IN CFB HISTORY

Imagine what we could do with Diego Pavia

We were without Evers and Bell. Fagnano isn't it

off week next week?

Going off memory I believe it's the bye

We interrupt this thread for breaking news:

Vandy beats #1 Bama !!​

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread.

 

[RioDog]

Have to respect the Temple coach for going for the win.

... and ask why in the name of all that's holy didn't he kick the FG? They would have had MO and a kicker with a HUGE leg going into OT.

 

[maple]

Defensive was great all game but that goal line stand has got to be up there as one of UConn’s all time greatest plays. Absolutely outstanding. I’ve watched it 10 times now.

Still a lot of work to do but good football teams grind out the tough wins even when things aren’t going well.

 

[CONN78SEJ]

That’s why you never give up on a game, even when it’s going bad. HOLY CRAP WHAT A WIN!!!

Just a gutsy win. Sheffield, Buckman, Fagnano, Faumuina-Brown, and many others stood out. We did it with some key injuries on offense. Tough loss for Temple.

 

[Tdaley]

Might end being the best game of the year. The fans were awesome at the end of the game!

Nah. Cal's laterals on last play to score thru Stanford band will never be topped. But it's top 5.

Isn't Evers like 1-2 as the starter?

The frenzied crowd on the field in Nashville right now might disagree.

 

[Viet Vet]

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.

 

[huskeynut]

There are games you just don't seem to have. You battle on and claw and scratch to the end.

Great win.

 

[UConnJim]

With Fagnano as QB, Temple didn't need to defend the dual threat QB and they were able to shut down the run game. That is why UConn needs Evers.

 

[ZooCougar]

Tip of the cap for Coach Drayton.

 

[FairwayFlyer]

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