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

[JSM1970]

The kicker would have never made that, he knew that. The fake was stupid, just line up and run a play.

Great game, horrible call. I know he wants the win, but the odds were against him. Get to OT. Win it there. We have the better kicker.

 

[Dooley]

Yeah if we don't miss an extra point, we kick right there. Plus a giveaway safety. STs loss here

 

[Palatine]

Diaco is still learning.

 

[chuck shick]

I want to vomit. Go for it or kick the field goal

 

[TasteofUConn]

Surely we made many errors. Surely, if we make a couple less, we pull out the win.
But.
We went into a top 25 ranked opponents stadium, stuffed them all day long, except one drive where they needed multiple scrambling plays to get the score, and we were in position to win on the last play.

This is a very good omen for the rest of the season, and, while I would have been ecstatic with a win, I feel very optimistic looking forward. Our Defense was very, very good.

 

[joey3$trike$]

Funny thing is with that block xp, it made it a harder decision. I'd rather lose with my best player with the ball (shireffs) than another fake field goal.

 

[Buzzyboy]

Well, whatever happens the boys acquitted themselves well. This is n0 110th ranked team. Fingers crossed..

I thought that UConn made Missouri look bad! The announcing staff really was jumping on the Missou bandwagon for that totally overrated quarterback who sucked to high heaven or at least based on how UConn made him look. Were UConn's offense doing anything special, this would have been an easy UConn victory! I'm listening to this Missou coach talk up his team and it made me gag because though their defense was okay, they were trying to stop a UConn offense that has very little fire power, playing at home!

 

[Waquoit]

Don't mind the play call. Boyce's pass was a straight lolly pop in the air. Awful. A Johnny MacEntee esq pass.

No. It was Tim Boylesq. They should not have put the game in his hands. He is a loser.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Pinkel just confirmed they were sitting on that. I wonder what tipped him off? Maybe because we ran the SAME FACKING PLAY IN THE FIRST HALF?!?!?

Mother facker.

 

[cryjeremiah]

Wow Bobby. Amateur hour. He is still not taking this seriously enough. Not only is it just dumb dumb dumb, if you aren't going to roll with either your offense to get you 4 yards or your kicker to make a 42 yarder, then you clearly do not believe in your team. It doesn't matter that special teams has struggled, you just can't do that crap. You have to believe in them in that scenario.

Here I am again, thinking we took the training pants off lil Bobby too soon.

ENERGY VAMPIRE!!!!

 

[HuskyHawk]

Don't blame boyle, he had to throw into triple coverage because bloom was the only freaking guy who ran a route!!!!! WTF!!!! Kick it or go for it. Of course Mizzou players were playing the fake. Smh.

And he threw a perfect pass the previous time, which was dropped. Dropped passes hurt us all game.

They missed a FG too. You can't only count the mistakes on one side.

.

Same play, different formation, they shifted into a bunch formation on the left-side the first time and faked a bubble screen to Knappe

For Missouri to need about 16 plays to score on a fourth down play just shows how good UConn's defense played and how lucky they were to walk off the field with a win.

 

[joey3$trike$]

That was dumb as the fake punt was smart

Fake p wasn't smart at all, it just worked.

 

[amory]

It was a duck*ing terrible play call you guys. Tired of this nice to be here . Leave the Offense on the field or kick it he did neither

Crappy post, crappy fan, glass half full and rammed up your @ss type guy.

Dont forget the series they actually scored was the one with the BS 3rd down catch that the refs didnt review.

 

[Dooley]

They missed a FG too. You can't only count the mistakes on one side.

So did we.

 

[minidarren]

Too many dropped passes, that is for certain.

 

[cohenzone]

Totally disagree with the move. I know we've had blocked kicks, but an OT game where our D has been as good as theirs is an ok gamble. That said, it was a really bad throw.

 

[joey3$trike$]

And he threw a perfect pass the previous time, which was dropped. Dropped passes hurt us all game.

Did the TE's catch a ball all game?

 

[Buzzyboy]

I wish that UConn had attempted to score with their offense rather than try that fake field goal that was pretty much diagnosed from the get go. Other than that, I think UConn really proved something to themselves and to a lot of people in the country. With a better offensive line and a couple more talented skill players, UConn would be doing quite well. Diaco seems to have things going in the right direction and it's quite encouraging!

 

[itgoeslike]

Bummer but the team represented. At 4th and 4 and a 42 yard field goal it seems like the fake was the lower percentage play of the three. Even with the fake, there are better options than going down the middle with it. The one good takeaway is that the team appears to be legit. A razor's edge away from a great ending. . .

 

[UCFBfan]

Did the TE's catch a ball all game?

Yes on the 3 and 21

 

[BUHusky]

Either kick it.

Or give Shirreffs a chance to make a play.

Don't go for a fake FG... Unbelievably bad call.

 

[huskysupporter]

Totally disagree with the move. I know we've h ed kicks, but an OT game where our D has been as good as theirs is an ok gamble. That said, it was a really bad throw.

He had to throw and he had one choice, throw into triple coverage. Just a bad call. Of course Mizzou is playing fake

 

[bmayuc]

No. It was Tim Boylesq. They should not have put the game in his hands. He is a loser.

He has to throw the ball. 4th down. Go F5u#ck yourself.

 

[UconnFamily]

Ridiculous. That empty set was working for us, and Bobby screws it up once again. Why not get the 4 yards when then offense was hot? Instead you put the struggling special team to make a play??? makes no freaking sense. That game was ours to win.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be so pissed off after a 3 point loss.

No more Internet for me.

Mother facker.
