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

[UConn990411]

I like going for it but why Boyle?

Sending your starting QB to the bench causes Mizzou to fall asleep there.

 

[Dooley]

Kind of feels like UConn is approaching this like a bowl game. I can't complain about that.

We absolutely are. This is our bowl game and this is a preseason game for Missouri. I worry about the 2nd half pep speech that will surely go down in the Tiger locker room...but until then, I will enjoy this 1st half.

 

[kemba]

He's the holder on FGs. Keeping Shirreffs out there means they keep their "true" defense on the field too.

Ahh true.

 

[storrsroars]

I don't know much about SEC football, but how in hell is Mizzou ranked?

 

[huskysupporter]

Disagree with announcer, that pass was fine by Boyle. Bloom has to snatch it up.

 

[ctchamps]

defense

 

[superjohn]

Andrew Luck still sounds like Buffalo Bill.

 

[huskysupporter]

Their conference affiliation. They haven't looked like a top 50 team last 2 weeks.

 

[Storrsbred]

Too many breaks showing up empty.

You have it wrong. How are we not ranked.

 

[minidarren]

Need a big stop on D here. These dudes need to stop stressing me out, threw my laptop across the room on that Bloom drop. Great D looking back at it, but man that was a catchable ball.

They have been very good since moving to the SEC.

 

[BlueDogs]

Nope - out bowl game is to come. Just playing fiercely ... Something we haven't seen in many years.

should have led him a little more. not a terrible pass though. like serrano said, defender made a play.

 

[HuskyGooner124]

He definitely could've and should've caught it but Boyle could've led him more too and not allowed the defender a chance to make a play on it.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Turnover time

 

[superjohn]

Defense has been great, let's get some more points before half.

 

[ct06111]

They should have gone for 3. If zou scores, it woulda been tied.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I would have taken the penalty. They're gonna go for it on 4th and 5.

 

[UconnU]

Dont watch much uconn football. What's up with this quarterback we have? Looks extremely anxious, very poor mechanics.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I would have taken the penalty. They're gonna go for it on 4th and 5.

Or not.

 

[kemba]

No turnovers, just get into halftime.

 

[whaler11]

If Pinkel wants to keep playing Mauk God bless him.

 

[huskysupporter]

He definitely could've and should've caught it but Boyle could've led him more too and not allowed the defender a chance to make a play on it.

Absolutely, but that was catchable. Needs to be caught by Bloom there

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Get me to halftime 6-2

 

[minidarren]

Mizzou's offense is awful. This is a great match-up of awful offense and great defense.

 

[storrsroars]

Mizzou's offense is the closest thing I've seen to Rich Kotite's offense in 20 years.

 

[whaler11]

Wisely they are going to force UConn to punt.

 

[Stainmaster]

Dont watch much uconn football. What's up with this quarterback we have? Looks extremely anxious, very poor mechanics.

Shirreffs is the best QB we've had since Dan O. It's our O-line going up against an SEC line.

 

[Hoophound]

We absolutely are. This is our bowl game and this is a preseason game for Missouri. I worry about the 2nd half pep speech that will surely go down in the Tiger locker room...but until then, I will enjoy this 1st half.

One thing I wouldn't worry about is whether or not our coach can out motivate their coach with a speech.

We get to half time in good shape and Bob is going to have these guys on fire coming out for the second half.

"You think you are good enough to to beat an SEC team on the road? You bet your asses you are, get out there and finish this."
