We’d have lost this game by 30+ even two years ago. I am blown away by the progress of this team under Mora. Not done yet!!

 

[Spsone07]

10-3 is still alive

 

[shizzle787]

Huge win for the program! First winning season in 14 years!

 

[Palatine]

Mora seems awful set on Evers. But if he has eyes they should be telling him something.

 

[Patman]

Hurt

My feed missed the injury as I was 3 min behind all of the sudden and I went direct to live. Hopefully nothing serious but mora has to be mad if he doesn't go fagnano

 

[gsmooth]

My feed went out just as the 2nd quarter started - did Evers get pulled or did he get hurt?

got hurt running the ball. It was not a concussion which is good. I hate that he got hurt and I hope he recovers quickly. But the offense looked a lot better with Fagnano. His field vision, ability to read the defense, make quick decisions, make anticipation throws, and accurately throw the ball are much greater than what Evers can do.

 

[Forte]

That was awesome. If Mora doesn't play Fagnano going forward it will be one of the biggest disrespect of a player

 

[AF <1> Husky]

Joey with the Whoa performance! Hell of a response from our defense!

 

[RedStickHusky]

"Mora has never benched a starting QB".

Those hangnails sometimes linger for weeks...

And at least 3 dropped that hit receivers in the hands or chest.

 

[IndyLives]

Great comeback win on the road. Fagnano can make throws down the field. Covers the TD spread. Show the team some respect - they deserve some Top 25 votes with their record!!

I wonder if it has to do with the NIL contract or some obligation Mora feels to Evers, maybe a promise during the recruiting. I am speculating and maybe even being a defense lawyer for Mora.

Is Fagnano Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady?
No.

Is Fagnano a high level FBS QB?
LOL, no

Is Fagnano much better for this UConn Football team than Evers?
Hell yes!

 

[Spsone07]

Fagnano made some great throws to get us back in the game.

Even after we were up, Fagnano made the throws that were needed to extend drives.

that is true, the WRs didn't help him out and I said so in the game chat when people were still piling on Evers. But Fagnano is the better QB for this offense.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Bell killed one 4th qtr drive when a ball bounced off his numbers... Saved the next one with a great 3rd down catch.

 

[SoFla Steve]

Fantastic 4th quarter. Outscored them 21-0 to come back from a 23-10 deficit in 9 minutes. UConn hasn't had 7+ wins since 2010, and we still have 3 games to go!

Some questions were answered tonight

Just two games to Go -- Cuse on the 23rd and then UMass.

 

[UConnRock]

Would have put of 50+ w/ Fagano

 

[HCCForever]

Atrocious first half, great response in the second.

Not sure what's going on with Bell, that's two games back to back with horrible drops. Needs to rein those in if he wants to play on Sundays

He might want to consider wearing gloves especially in rainy conditions. He was wiping his hands on a lineman's towel after the drop that hit him in the numbers.

But he did make that nice catch on the ball behind him by Joe to extend the drive.

 

[NEforceUConn]

Had to listen to game on radio. What a great win!

Also Mike Crespino is terrible, maybe even worse than Joe D.

 

[JeannoCT]

My feed went out just as the 2nd quarter started - did Evers get pulled or did he get hurt?

Post game radio said knee injury.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Best comeback win in program history.

Notre Dame

Maybe, maybe not. But the greater point is, your statement is not hyperbole, it is definitely feasible. It would not have been feasible with Evers.

 

[Jetskies]

Just two games to Go -- Cuse on the 23rd and then UMass.

he's including the bowl game that Mora believes we may still not get, even being eligible.

 

[RedStickHusky]

JF went 5/12, 2 tds, 0 picks. And it was glorious because he made UAB play defense. NE 104 yds on 15 completions; JF 70 yds on 5 completions.
