Tulsa game thread

[Bomber36]

It may be a cliche, but it is true. We are learning how to win.

It’s no cliche for this team....it was something that had to happen and it is.

The officiating in this game has to ne one of the worst I have seen in a very long time
BUT
UConn should have scored twice when it was 1st and goal
UConn needs to make a 1st down on the last offensive possession - Lashlee's play calling is very questionable in certain circumstances
Again, the secondary almost killed UConn again
The OL is an absolute dumpster fire
This should have been a 28-0 or at the worst 28-7 win
A win is a win but RE needs to kick some serious butt this week

 

[Jax Husky]

Boy was he pissed. Wow.

Just like Disco would have been







JK, he would have just bent over and taken whatever the refs gave him.

 

[uconnbill]

The play calling at the end was too conservative and the refs sucked in plain English

 

[Bomber36]

Imagine if Tulsa scored

I’d have probably dropped dead.

 

[Jimdish255]

That was some of the worst officiating I’ve seen recently, that missed face mask and last play counting are beyond my comprehension. Unbelievable it came down to that.

My other issue is the most holding I've seen against us all year and like 1 obvious holding call made.

 

[freescooter]

How do they miss the face mask? Guy grabs it pulls it off and throws the helmet. They make that call and it’s game over right there.

 

[uconnbill]

Our so called fans need to stay and cheer till the end. Some of them stink

 

[Scoe]

Edsall needs to call out the refs in the presser he just has to he needs to send a message to clean up the officiating, its worth the fine. Its one thing to get a call wrong but a rule wrong is another story just sickening.

My issue with that was it was in plain sight out of the pile. It’s not like it happened under a scrum.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Weak D at the end and worse officiating.

In the end though, got the W. All that matters.

 

[Bomber36]

The refs should have to publically answer this BS in a press conference. I’m tired of what appears to be a lack of accountability for such poorly refereed games.

 

[Jimdish255]

Thought the players played well until the coaches bailed on what got them there and the refs just quit doing their jobs in the 4th quarter. Can't take our foot off the gas or we'll get smoked next week.

the non-call targeting, missed facemask and the snap just almost changed the outcome of that football game. ridiculous.

I don't understand how you miss ANY of those calls. They were not split-second affairs.

Targeting: they had all the time in the world to review that in slow-mo replay.

Facemask: the Tulsa defender was literally standing around with a UConn helmet in his hands (grasped by the facemask) after the foul.

Final snap: there is literally no way to get a snap off in 01 second in that situation under any scenario.

Thank goodness we managed to win in spite of all that.

 

[JMick]

Is there anywhere to watch or listen to live postgame pressers? I can never find it

 

[Rocktheworld]

I’d have probably dropped dead.

Lol I mean Randy’s reaction

 

[Bomber36]

Lol I mean Randy’s reaction

Lol....he would have committed homicide.

 

[huskymedic]

Lol I mean Randy’s reaction

Randy just said his mother wouldn’t have been proud of his language there...

 

[Bomber36]

Randy just said his mother wouldn’t have been proud of his language there...

He had every right to say whatever he wanted, that’s for sure.

 

[gtcam]

Lol....he would have committed homicide.

He shouldn't have had to be in that situation
It's up to him to rectify the defensive secondary issues as well as the OL - needs to also talk to Lashlee about some of the play calling

 

[Adios]

That was a good game. First game I attended since Maine. My USC friend who brought me along was actually impressed with how loud the crowd gets. His first UConn game and he was cheering for Tulsa. We are back to relevancy.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

How do miss a face mask call when it’s the ball carrier who has his helmet ripped off? The ball carrier.

I mean...you’d think one of the refs would have a set of eyes on the ball carrier. Wouldn’t you? Isn’t that a reasonable expectation? Guess not.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Randy just said his mother wouldn’t have been proud of his language there...

Lol forget mothers; if that were me, and if I used the language that those refs deserved, I probably wouldn’t be coach tomorrow

 

[BugsyCT]

All I have to say about the end of that game is J**** C*****.

We score on the 1 to make it 24-0 and we’re not even talking about this.

Thank goodness they got the W. Can’t imagine what blowing that game would have done to this team.
