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

[nelsonmuntz]

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

 

[kemba]

I'm fine with kicking it and I'm fine with going for it, but not a fake. Terrible time for that play.

 

[Vuce]

We held them to 9.

The defense actually held them to 7

 

[Devland]

Special teams missed xp and safety on a blocked punt =-3 pts

 

[MilliniumPrince]

That was dumb as the fake punt was smart

 

[UCFBfan]

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

 

[NavinRJohnson]

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

 

[8893]

Get ready to hear about moral victory till you puke.

 

[BugsyCT]

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

Gutsy call - best I can say about it.

 

[ctchamps]

Disappointed we didn't win. Not disappointed with this team.

 

[TheRogers]

Putting it in the hands of last years offence.....-6

 

[whaler11]

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

 

[coachRD]

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

 

[jorge34]

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.

Thanks for pissing me off even more...

 

[ScottVib]

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.

Disappointed in the coach

 

[huskysupporter]

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.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

The men deserved better than that last play

 

[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.
