UAB Post Game Thread

Great win…they needed a confidence builder going into the Duke game.

Anyone else surprised with the wildcat? Nice wrinkle for Duke to worry about. In general, the offense looked better this week…Fagnano was using the whole field instead of just plays to the sidelines. The RB use is unpredictable. I am not sure if it’s because Edwards is banged up or they just like using a multitude of backs?

The defense is still an issue…but turnovers helped a lot this week.

I think the game this week will be bigger than the bowl game. Duke will probably be better than UConn’s bowl opponent, and they get them at home. I would think that the coaches will try scheming up something special for next weekend.
 
I've achieved a lot of peace this week as a fan, by not getting mad at how a given UConn performance would stack against a P4 opponent instead of the school we actually played. I think this is especially why I was mad last week after Rice.

So, I will take it in and give the boys their flowers, today.

I am still not very confident in a win next week. But I also don't see it as an impossibility. We'd just need to play the cleanest game we've ever played, which is asking a lot of these guys.

hoping Husky nation shows up. 36K and over, would be a great vibe.

That's how I approached today's game. I didn't get too high after good plays knowing how quickly my mood can change within the same game.

UConn's defense better have the best game of their life next week or else Duke's offense will put up points like a pinball machine.. Duke scored 46 against Clemson today.
 
Now that was a win, hits so loud, I thought I could hear them from the second deck. Offense had a great blend of passing and running with the wild cat. UAB qb was uncomfortable the entire game-Witness 4 and 40 from within their own five yard line in the second quarter. And a big shout out to every kickoff to UAB hitting the endzone. That’s how you play the game. The only down moments were last minute UAB td and once again, a full parking lot that forced me to turn around 90 minutes before game time with my blue lot pass and pay for parking. Apart from Michigan, I have never seen the lot that full. Inside, it looked liked 15 k at best. Hopefully everyone goes inside next week.

36k and over? And then maybe you’ll make love to Sidney Sweeney?

There was nowhere close to 15k fans in the stadium today on a mild fall day with a winning team that is scoring points every week.

But how cool is it to have a decent game against decent opponent where the outcome isn’t already known.
I’m not overly confident either, but they have a good chance next week if they play a solid game.
Last week was painful, but the big picture is still brighter than it was 3-4 seasons ago.

Let’s keep this thing going!

I was beyond pissed for an entire week still am to a degree. We wouldn’t need to play a perfect game, if we don’t beat ourselves we will have a good shot. Defense I don’t know maybe we need Ricky Moore to defend against Mensah lol.

As far as our offense this may sound unfair but we need a little bit more meaning the little things like not coming up empty in good field position, Skyler Bell can’t have a critical drop. Sammis better be ready to switch things up because Diaz will have a game plan for Joe so we will have to be ready to adapt,

biggest game of the regular season, recognizable P4 opponent, a shot to beat someone who isn't trash and SERIOUSLY turn a corner in the season.... why not?
I don't think it's likely, but i don't think it's impossible, given the circumstances. my heart hopes for those numbers. my head says closer to 23K.

Head will be correct. Duke fans do not travel well for football games.

I expect somewhere in between, maybe 27-28k
 
I too was concerned about UAB after losing to Rice. Happy to report that my concerns were unwarranted. Nice start by the offense and they kept it going all game.

Joe had a few high passes early but then improved. One of his best passes was to Bell that should have been caught for a TD but dropped by Bell. Joe has improved his passing while rolling out to the right. Other players of note were Bell, Edwards, Neider and Juice. Chadwick had his best game as a Husky with 3 INTs and a sack. I’ll ovelook the blown coverage on UAB’s first TD.

Now, let’s beat Duke.
