wonder where Randy Edsall is tonight. were he still HC, we may still not have 7 wins total since his 2.0 return lol

Randy Edsall 2.0 really set this football program back. I remember feeling deflated like a balloon with the needle popping it when I saw he was the big splash hire in 2016. I am not Nostradamus, if I was I would be a lot richer, but I knew that retread hire was going to fail.

I don't know if the boosters who decided to help pay for Ollie's buyout demanded Edsall be rehired, as that has been told here on the BoneYard, if that is true I thank the boosters for their generosity, but hiring Edsall was an awful price to pay for that generosity.

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.

A JF touchdown was ruled an incompletion and Bell dropped a short one that he might have taken to the house. Either way I'll believe my eyes rather than Coach Mora fluffing us about how great things looked in practice every week. I get why he's doing it but come on man.

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!!

We haven't beat anyone good yet. No way we will be anywhere near the top 25. At least we nowhere near the bottom 25 this year. That is improvement I will take.

Once again, it was a very sloppy game with numerous unforced errors in the last minutes. And once again we won.

A comeback of the type we haven't seen in a while.

Not just in the last minutes, Actually the end was cleaner than the beginning.

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.

Since he put up 21 in the 4th, 84 for 4 quarters was in play.
 
Team stayed in the game. Messy with many injuries. What a comeback. Gotta give JF credit. Doesn't mean he's the starter. Doesn't mean he isn't.

Yeah, I am not gonna pile on NE. But for the simple reason that stretching the field vertically vs. Syracuse will be important, JF has got to start that game. And Cole better be ready in case there is an injury to Joe. That Syracuse game is gonna mean an awful lot now.

Here's to a quick recovery for Nick.
Expand ...
Agreed but let's call it what it is- JF needs to start the rest of season. If there are garbage-time "development" opportunities because HCJM believes the Evers experiment will continue into next season, then so be it. Other than that Fagnano is the man.

Great win…the football gods were smiling on us today as we caught some breaks.

Or maybe UAB has bad football karma for their QB situation.

It made me smile so hard after hearing how strong and tough their walk on RB was, for most of the game, having him cough it up.

This is the correct take on the UConn Football season. I will take this over any of the Randy Edsall 2.0 seasons, the Bob Fiasco 3rd season, really any season since the Fiesta Bowl appearance in 2010.

he's including the bowl game that Mora believes we may still not get, even being eligible.
Expand ...
I would think UConn should be automatic for some bowl game even if it's the Frank's Auto Repair Shop bowl or something like that. But I understand Mora's skepticism seeing how UConn has been getting screwed in relation to teams that have conferences. Maybe Mora is just saying that so his team doesn't drop their intensity in playing.
 
I could be wrong, but when they said that Mora doesn't replace the starting QB, I think they were referring to a mid-game change due to performance, not injury. Again, I could be wrong.
 
I have beating the Fagnano drum all season to the point I‘m even irritating myself LOL

But it’s for the reasons that we all witnessed today.

People forget that Evers didn’t have many reps before he came to UConn. Joe just has boatloads of experience that he brings to the team.

And when we start completing passes, Defenses can’t stack the box anymore.

Please for all of us that have endured these last few years, play Joe as our starter to finish this season. This game would be an “L” if Mora‘s hand wasn’t forced by that unfortunate injury to Evers.

I sincerely hope Mora gained some perspective today that this is a Team sport, and set aside personal preferences. Put the team out there with the best chance to finish the season strong!
