-> With momentum on the program’s side, Mora is optimistic about the Huskies' future.

“We’re not done,” Mora said. “These guys are the foundation. We’re excited to see where it goes from here. But we’ll always, always remember what these guys meant to the program and the things that they’ve been through and the way they’ve persevered.” <-

I feel really happy for Fagnano. This is the way to cap your collegiate career. He's a good guy who always kept his head up even when he didn't get the nod as starter. When he was called to play, he was ready. Seems like a terrific kid and a great teammate.

These are great. I love the post game presser and the post game video clips on the field. After the win. People talk about how bowl games are meaningless. This game sure as hell mattered to our guys. I'm very happy for them.

Agreed. These bowl games mean a lot to the players & coaches, and the fans. Teams want to be rewarded for earning their way to a bowl game, even if it’s not a big bowl nor a CFP game. Winning these bowls are program builders for many schools. Another trophy & banner to display for potential recruits & transfers. It would be a travesty if the non-CFP bowls eventually get phased out like the bigwigs seem to be pushing for.

Great season. Realistically this was just about the best we could have expected going into the year.

I would have liked to see how the season would have played out if Fagnano was the starter throughout, but in the end 9-4 with a p4 bowl win is crazy.

15 years between bowl wins.. hope we don't have to wait that long between the next one.

Not bad for a kid from the University of Maine!

The legend of Joey Meatballs!! He took a shot and ended up with a heck of an experience. Huskies couldn't have done it without him.

Fenway Bowl notes: Money not enough to ‘lure away’ defensive MVP Pryce Yates

Pryce Yates withdrew from the transfer portal on Dec. 21. A week later, the veteran defensive lineman was named defensive MVP of the Fenway Bowl.

-> “It was a hard process, but I was talking to the coaches a lot, keeping them in the loop and just kind of weighing everything,” he said after making six tackles, three for a loss, and a sack in the 27-14 win over North Carolina, the program’s most significant victory in this portal era.

“I think it said a lot about the fact that he didn’t want to leave these guys that he’s grown so close to, and that money wasn’t enough to lure him away. It was the experience that he was able to have here,” coach Jim Mora said. <-

-> “Obviously his talent speaks for itself, but I don’t think that was the genesis of what makes me happy,” Mora said. “In this day and age when money is what’s driving decisions in college athletics, to have a guy like Pryce who had much bigger offers say, hey, I want to come back to UConn because I want to be part of this team again… It just tells me that we’re on the right track, that we’re doing things the right way.” <-
