-> This was a moment long overdue for UConn football– a validation, a re-introduction of the program to the rest of the country watching the beatdown on ESPN.

This was Fenway Park, late December, a legitimate, fun bowl game — and UConn was running it.

To be dominating a flagship ACC program in New England’s de facto capital, inside the region’s greatest sports cathedral, felt special. Like something no UConn fan in the stands will forget for a while. <-

-> But on Saturday, it felt like a page had been turned. The downtrodden, can’t-beat-anybody, independent-because-nobody-wants-them Huskies weren’t out there on that field. Instead, there was a fast, tough, physical team flying around and making big-time plays, bullying the big-boy Tar Heels.

The spirit of the program Randy Edsall built years ago has been resurrected. Edsall built the program from the ground up, and then it collapsed, but Jim Mora has rebuilt it again with the same DNA– that tough, hard-nosed determination serving as the foundation. <-

Not timely I realize but I remember thinking this at the game. Is Mel Brown a regular on kick coverage or was that an adjustment?
