The Official UConn Show Me Winning (!) Thread !!

Aside: I'm a fan of college girls in sports bras.

The offensive line still needs a lot of work. Mizzou d is in the backfield before our running backs even touch the ball.

Precisely why play action and screens should pop soon.

If Mauk stays in, do you think they can drive 80 yards? I'm not asking as a noggle, asking for your honest opinion. Me? I don't think they can unless they try some trick play that sparks them.

All it takes is one missed assignment by the D. Need points.

That is the obvious weak link and has been known for a while. They are really young. Let's see how they develop.

You can't give them the wind and the ball in the third quarter because you can't play from behind.

If you opt for defending one end zone, then Mizzou has the choice of either receiving or kicking off.

Second half line is Mizz -10
Total is 19
UConn team total is 3.5

Nitpicking but why do the announcers keep blaming us for the ugliness? Missouri isn't playing pretty football and has a pretty good defense. I want Brothers on the Giants

Welcome to ESPiN. They have invested a gazillion bazillion dollars in the SEC. If they don't blow out everyone, it's because the opponent is playing some sort of ugly, unpleasing-to-the-eye brand of football.

That said, we are playing some sort of ugly, unpleasing-to-the-eye brand of football...AND I LOVE IT! All I care about is getting a W. That's on the table right now guys.

True but they are one of the best defenses in the country.

Right and if you pick an endzone you are going to take the wind in the fourth quarter. Which gives them the ball and wind in the third.

Halftime in Germany... Hefe Weiße and Bushmills!

My heart cant take this game any further. Should really bode well for my golf game this afternoon.

 

[Dooley]

I'd still take the wind. You give them the ball with the wind for the 3rd while our D is fresh. Then when our D will be tired, you have a strong wind at our backs. Might even result in some points for us. I want their kickers and struggling QB going against a stiff wind in the final quarter when it's time to win this thing.

Beer before liquor, never sicker. Go Huskies!

Just finish it, who cares if it's ugly let the haters hate.

Hopkins, Samra and Vechery won't be starting come next year. Crozier, Oak and Rutherford will be. It's temporary.

@desmondconner now THIS is a totally different team and program for @UConnFootball No matter what the outcome today...headed right way

To my ear, it sounds like they are giving us credit for mucking it up rather than blaming us. It's complimentary.

 

[coachcap]

They could opt to kick off & pin UConn toward their own end zone. UConn would then have basically everything they wanted.

Weather.com has the wind in Columbia at 11 mph, not exactly a stiff breeze.

Or they're commenting based off our terrible offense last year and the fact we are a 3TD underdog.

 

[BugsyCT]

We're winning. Looks beautiful to me so far.

30 more minutes - let's GO!!!

 

[minidarren]

Is there a strong wind there? Just curious as to all the wind talk.

You're plainly seeing the effect of not being in a P5. ESPN is constantly pimping Missouri, as if this is their home broadcast, while we're just an uninteresting opponent.
