This Was a Great Win

No one is more rational than me. I'm just more positive than you. Every game has plays that don't work and execution that goes awry. I'm talking about self inflicted errors. Penalties are the first and foremost examples. Levy's holding, Johnson's celebration and Fatukasi's fighting either led to their scoring a safety and touchdown or stopped our drives toward other scores. I repeat, our mistakes kept us from burying them far more than their (self inflicted) mistakes kept them from simply beating us. You can disagree but it's so. Nevertheless, lets agree to not pick nits over this and simply rejoice in the win. Let's get ready to watch our Huskies beat Army next weekend. And they will.

If you can't admit that Villanova made mistakes that cost them a chance to win, and if they hadn't made them they could have won then I think you need a new definition of rational.

Positive and negative labels which you love don't matter - we are analyzing something that already happened.

Villanova got the ball to the UConn 36 and literally dropped it on the field and cost them their shot to win.

Adeyemi's penalty for throwing a punch

Dooley, I assume you know that it was actually Fatukasi that threw the punch.

It was a very good win to start the season off. If Foley keeps his head, the game is 20-9. If Johnson kept his head, it would have been even more. But it's a heck of a lot nicer to say "shoulda, coulda, woulda" after a win rather than after a loss!

UConn is still undefeated. I hate to say I told you so, but...
