i'm going go ahead and say that this is one of the best all-around performances that I've seen from the team. Even with the refs adding an extra seven points on there for UAB at the end we played extremely well. A special shout out to the defense.!

Nice win. Bowl eligible, again.

Solid game. Never really in doubt.
Offense was clicking, defense made some plays when needed, good ball pursuit.

10 win season still a possibility.

We won 38-12 and I’m dying on that hill

But also how about Joe Fagnano? 77% completion, 267 yards, 4 TDs. Sky Bell 150 yards and 3 TDs. Crazy good offense when it’s clicking

5-1 since the Delaware loss. Excited to see how the rest of the season goes!

This, like I said ref had to payoff off a gambling debt.

As much as I hate watching us play this matador defense at the end of games, letting blowout wins turn into merely comfortable wins... Games like today are fun. Dominated the first half and had the game in the bag at halftime. Joe got to 10k career yards. Bell had yet another monster game and if my math is right is only 6 yards away from 1k on the season... When is the last time we had a WR with 1000 yards in a season?! Cam continuing to chip away at a 1000 yard season of his own.

There is also only 1 team left in FBS that hasn't thrown a pick... Guess who.

And as has already been stated, bowl eligible again! Duke will be tough but I expect us to be in the game next week if our offense keeps playing this way.

I was nervous the entire day, but they took care of ball, got the win, and restored some normalcy. Go UConn!!! Now the goal becomes to secure more wins to get into a higher tiered bowl. Last week was the trick and today was the treat. Have a great weekend Husky Nation!!!!!!

 

[Purple Stein]

Great game and great all around win. Love what we saw from Fagnano and Bell and the three picks from Chadwick was icing on the cake.

Let's go bowling!

 

[Scoe]

Clutch stops by the D at end of half and beginning of 2nd half, even though we probably had a 90 percent chance of winning that's realistically where you stop a comeback attempt, it gives more leeway when the opposing offense does put pts on the board.

Now that we’re bowl eligible do we need to start doing the “root against 4-5 win teams” math?

 

[AllHusky]

Really had bad vibes going into game. Great job boys!

Nah. We will get a bowl game regardless. It always seems to work out, especially if we are over 6 wins (which I expect us to be)

Good solid win for UConn. Any win for UConn Football is a good win. The offense was crushing it as they usually do for the most part, and the defense played solid, although they left a lot to be desired in the 2nd half. The defense seems to get tired in the 2nd half and 4th qtr.

Hopefully, Duke overlooks UConn as they have a game at their home field against #15 Virginia after the UConn game.

Skyler Bell and Joe Fagnano are going to be missed and tough to replace.

 

[BlueandOG]

We look goooooooood

Had to drive home for the last quarter so only listened to it on the radio.

I didn't love that we let them get 13 unanswered points even if it was in garbage time. But I am happy that despite how the game started off, we were 24-0 going into the halftime and played tough enough when it mattered to keep the game well out of reach the whole time. Props for the defense for making some huge plays -- especially Chadwick with the 3 INTs, it was a very nice compliment to Bell's 3 TDs.

Joe looked off for the first drive but he picked it up big after that and made some excellent throws. We are also blessed with some very good receivers, rushers, and overall playmakers. Some of the stupid penalties we got could have hurt us but we overcame them. So massive credit where credit is due.

I was feeling lousy about this team after the initial poor start but I'm glad that they rightened the ship and proved me wrong. I'm always happy to eat crow when it comes to being negative.

Nice to be bowl eligible. Still a lot of work to do but if our players keep up this intensity then I like our chances.

 

[ZooCougar]

Nice win but not really a complete domination. Stopping Duke and their exceptional QB will be a tall order.

The offense is really clicking.

 

[Scoe]

AAC refs are awful and I say it's actually a good thing going into our next game with ACC refs we need to expect the unexpected with the officiating.

 

[Chin Diesel]

One word: Cathartic.

 

[How Sway?!]

Cathartic win today. Needed that one. Now let's keep the momentum going against Duke. Biggest home game since 2015 Houston?

Student section is what it is right now, it’s the day after Halloween and more will show up vs Duke next week. Let’s focus on bowl-eligible UConn
