Fagnano's throws just felt off. The long missed pass to a wide open Bell was a tough one. His short passes didn't seem that accurate or with the right touch. It just seems his timing is off with his receivers. Hopefully, he can get more reps in practice with the starting unit.

Your observations were mine as well. In his defense there were at least half a dozen dropped passes uggh
 
TouchdownHusky said:
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.
Expand ...
He threw two INTs and fumbled the ball. 3 turnovers putting the D in really bad spots and they held pretty well. I am sure telling him "emphatically" what to do is what was missing after 5 years playing the position.

Not blowing hot and cold. Temple decided to defend the run and dared Fagnano to beat them by the pass and he couldn't do it. With Evers as a dual threat QB, it opens up the run game even though Evers hasn't proven that he can beat them with the pass yet.
Expand ...
Except for all the 2nd and 10 off tackle runs that were called and got stuffed. Playcalling, blocking and running game were really rough today. Put him in bad situations all afternoon. Then the drops. It was a team effort to barely win this game.

Lost in all of the endorphins flying around is that Temple sux, UConn played like crap, lost the game, and somehow the most unlikely thing happened to hand the game to them. Why Temple did not kick a fg I assume was because the had only inches to go. Well, take the extra week and heal.
Expand ...
Yeah, with half of their offense on the bench. Bell, Edwards, Rosa, Evers……..

I knew posters were going to somehow complain about a win. UCONN consistently lost games like this for the last ten years. Stack wins - create a winning culture and maybe the program climbs out of the abyss. I don’t care how the qb looked or how the O Line looked. They won. Stack the wins.
Expand ...

Yep. Over the past decade, if UConn played like they did today, it was a 30 point loss. Today they lingered put how to win.

the O played like crap and as Mora deftly hinted in his post game Sammis wasn’t able to adjust to what Temple was doing.. which he said is unacceptable.
 
Why are people so excited about beating Temple by 9 points? I think Mora just lost his job tonight #bringbackdiaco

Palatine said:
As to Fagnano. He had two INTs and a fumble. He played poorly.

But that pass to Buckman was the play of the game and we don't win without it.

So he participated and was part of the victory. But Mora says Evers is the guy and it's tough to argue with that opinion.
Expand ...
He was picked once. The first int was right through a receiver’s hands.

He was down before they decided he fumbled. Bad, bad call.

They were floundering until I discovered my Son in law has CBSN
now I’m 3-0 watching games .
I’m in Ct for my grandsons wedding , he is my game ride so I’m grounded to television status
I‘m fresh off helping our BB team win a NC overcoming those Purdue numbers with my booming voice and hopefully bringing my desert mojo to football
 
Viet Vet said:
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.

How long have you been hosting SportsCenter?

Anyone know the crowd size? "Old Guy" thinks my heart stopped several times. WF will be a huge test of just how good the Huskies are.....I am happy beyond the rainbow for the W, but I thought they would perform better than appears. Anyway, looking forward to all the posts....Go Huskies! Thanks for all the good opinions on the Boneyard.

Announced crowd of 28,921. Didn't look much like that even at peak, but it was a much better crowd than the previous 2 home games. At least as good as the Merrimack opener. Temple brought a decent number of fans too - short ride from Philly.

1. I correctly predicted in the 1st qtr of the game chat, this game was gonna cause me to drink more than I intended. That happened in spades. What was supposed to be an easy game of Landsharks ended up with me doing vodka shots by halftime and throughout the second half.
2. MVP? How about Brett Buckman. Great blocking on WR screens and runs and timely catches. He's earned more reps.
3. UConn played like the Greyhound thst caught the bunny at the track.
4. Sammis' worst game play calling.
5. All props to Temple. No idea how they are 1-5.
6. Fagnano. He keeps both teams in the game the full 60 minutes.
7. Faumuina-Brown. Helluva game.
8. I expected the goal line fumble one play earlier.
9. 60-yard made FG that had leg for 70 yards. Missed FG from 32. WTF?
10. A close game like this might actually get more fans interested.
11. Breathe in. Breathe out. Game was never in question. Easy Sqeezy Lemon Peasy. UConn led after 1st qtr, at the half, after 3rd and at end of the game.
12. Refs sucked.

Temple might be the best 1-5 team in the country, their opponents are 22-4 they’ve had a tough tough sched so far this yr. They only have 2 games remaining against teams with winning records. If they don’t quit on the season (would be easy to do) I’d expect them to win more than they lose the rest of the way.

Just stop. Every time we win or lose, somebody has the comment, we wouldn’t have lost with the other QB, or we would have won by a bigger margin. Getting old.
Just win. That’s all that matters

Football players get hurt all the time, it’s part of the game, that’s why we have reserves, next man up gets his turn to show what he can do.
 
I’m sorry but the version of Fagnano we saw today is pretty much the version you get everyday with the exception of Merimack. He’s not terrible but he’s not good. He’s made a few big passing plays (mostly against Merimack) but he’s missed just as many as he has made. Some people here want to pretend that him being this big play threat was more beneficial than Evers using his legs. Not today. They stacked the box and stuffed our run game. They dared him to beat us and he couldn’t. Joe has some talent but he’s just the opposite side of the coin from Evers. Both of them have flaws but Nick has to be QB1 on potential alone.
 
Wow, I have to admit I turned it off. I went from thinking all week we would blow them out to thinking there is no way we are pulling this out and switching it off to help with the kids bedtime routine. I switch the game back on to see if it is still on with a replay of that crazy final play in progress. Obviously, I had to go back and watch what I gave up on ... what a finish.

Joey had a rough game, to say the least; he did not look good at all for most of the game, yet through it all, the guy is clearly a baller and came through. I guess this is why coaches don't give up on their QB's as soon as some of us do. What a game and a huge win for the program going into a bye week and in a fashion that would not have happened in years past. Mora has things heading in the right direction.

I, like most of you, have watched the wheels come off this program since 2010.

I know we played an awful game and Temple hasn't been a good team this season.

But this was awesome to pull out a win at the buzzer in this fashion. Perfect win to head into a bye week while we look forward to an acc opponent.

UCONN stopped them earlier in the game but the refs didn’t blow the whistle until they got the first down.

I need a replay but in real time it looked like the line judge ran in blowing the whistle and somehow marked the ball a yard above where the QB was
