Diaco on Andrew Adams kicking the football into the stands vs. BYU: "He didn't kick it maliciously to try and showboat" #UConn

desmondconner 12:10pm via TweetDeck
Diaco: Why not a moment of jubilation on 3-9 stop that drew unsportmanlike (Adams boot)?...things like that, "trying to put finger on it"

EdDaigneault 12:10pm via TweetDeck
Diaco says Adams' kick of the ball in a crucial spot at BYU is one of the small moments Huskies are trying to eradicate.

Diaco on "Civil Conflict": “We changed the name. I say ‘we.’ I’m not sure it’s a one-man show if there’s more than one man involved.”

dcsportsdept 12:11pm via TweetDeck
Diaco said there is a new name for the UCF-UConn rivalry. It will now be called "The Conflict." Both scores are on the trophy.

dcsportsdept 12:12pm via TweetDeck
Diaco: "Trying to add some fun, positive energy to a football game. I think it's cool. I hope other people do."#UConn #UCF

I'm happy with what he's saying. We are improving and we have some areas on Offense that still need some work. But, notwithstanding our weaknesses, we will prevail on Saturday and go bowling this year.

Well, it's a funny thing how the world works. I, for one, love the civil conflict trophy game. I loved it when it happened, and everybody thought it was nuts and I love it now, but the thing about crazy, is that you go to be all in for it to work, you can't do it half ass. I'm 100% on board the Diaco love train, the guy has done nothing to throw me off. He had to make me jump on after last season, and I don't ever want to see a season like that again, from anybody at UCONN, but it's long gone. We're 2-3 in 2015. The love machine is rolling, and making too many mistakes to win games we could have won. Got to clean that up.

But here we are, going on the road to a winless team that is ripe for us to put the hammer down and stomp them while they are down, but the method madness, has given them a reason to play and try to save their season. We're at a crossroads where the difference between 2-4, and 3-3 might be huge. A win and we have the opportunity to return to home field and hopefully get something rolling for the rest of the season.

A loss, and what was a participation trophy, now becomes more than a participation trophy.

We'll see. So far, Diaco's been on the money this season with matching actions and words and getting going. We'll see what happens in Florida on Saturday. I'm excited for it, and I can't wait for the post game trophy ceremony. I hope it's in our favor.

I want to know who the OL is (has to be RL right ?)

Also, what can be done (other than doing it 1 million times this week) to make the RB's better at pass pro

First of all, awesome that it's just a conflict. Screw them civils!!!

Secondly, I have to buy the "As Seen on TV" HD sunglasses? Maybe that's why the team looks ordinary to me.

Turn up the volume on your TV's. A lot of us traveling Husky fans will be making a lot of noise after we win the trophy game.

Really don"t understand why HCBD"s press conferences are not on the UConn athletics site. Hey, let"s make it harder for the fans to get content about their team. Do you have to pay for premium access on the site to see this? Very frustrating.... Don"t get me started on the Courant"s antics

UCF is a shell of the teams we've seen in the past. On top of that their vanilla run offense plays right into our hands. This is a must win because they are the weakest team left on the schedule.

Getting to 6 is going to be very difficult. Getting to 6 if we don't win the next two games goes from very difficult to a real long shot.
