This is retrograde football, boring to the fans you are desperately trying to attract, and made all the worse by the anxiety derived from the fact that UConn has been in the lead for a total of 10 minutes and 53 seconds out of 180 minutes played this season.
On probably the best weather day we’re going to get all year, hundreds of fans began to stream out of the Rent in the third quarter, with UConn trailing by just a touchdown at the end of the third quarter. It’s not a great look to have an empty student section in the fourth quarter of a tie game. It’s also not a great look to score three points on a bad ACC team in 2016, when every other college football team seems to be able to conjure up 20 points per game at will.
