That play made me so angry, I need to take a break from football for a few hours. .

If we lost on a missed FG then it's on ST. This whole game was already on the ST. Why not take the chance that JUST MAYBE your FG kicker can finally make one. Just can't imagine how those kids feel

Mizzou read that all the way. Receiver was triple covered.

Gutsy call - best I can say about it.

You don't see a lot of games with 2 TDs scored end 9-6.

Welp, special teams looks like . Everybody else is playing well, though.
Special Teams 101-don't try a fake FG after you call a timeout. That fact aside-the boys CAME TO PLAY, were stout, and played poised. We are a YOUNG team and I like a great deal of what we saw today!

We held them to 9.

POOR DEFENSE. As in, I feel soooooooo bad for our poor defense, because our coaches screwed our offense all day by running ron 1.5ypc johnson meanhile our WR/QB/Newsome are the strength of our team

If you go for it, which I don't necessarily have a problem with, put it in the hands of your starting qb. Not resort to some trick fake nonsense. Terrible coaching.

You either go for it with the offense there or you kick. Period.

With the ST play, Mizzou had no confidence that UConn could make the kick and bet that UConn didn't either. So of course they went into the safety defense. Bad decision. Happy with the game... this is a team that is good enough to get to 6 wins, which was better than I hoped at the start of the year. Liked the two minute drill, even allowing that it was against a prevent defense.

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.

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.

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.
