We haven’t been good enough long enough to just assume everyone left on our schedule is going to be a cakewalk. Football is game to game - different team, different coaching strategies, different scenarios, etc. You don’t know how UConn is going to come out nor how Temple will. Do we expect to win? Yes. Not expecting 30-40 point blowouts every week though.

Exactly.

Just go out there and win. We'd all love it to be by 40 points, but even if it's just by 1 point, secure the W...

They had some odd games in the past. Temple winning during RE 1.0 with weaker teams , Casey’s 2nd half comeback, UConn’s kicker missing 4 FGs and missing a bowl game opportunity.
The ultimate example of that for me was when they crushed UConn in September 2010, then the Huskies went on to the Fiesta Bowl.

I'm 76, and hope to have your sense of humor at 85. You're not "old"............................just "well seasoned."
I hope it doesn't appear that I was looking for sympathy by using the term "old guy"! It just seemed like an appropriate response from a very longggggggggggggg time UConn football fan....If I could get to the game I would go. So I simply was trying to drum up support from those on the boneyard site to get to this game....I agree with the thought that every game is subject to a W or L. Ask ND about losing to NIU. So go Huskies, and hope many fans will show. To Viet Vet I say "Thanks for your service"!

Sorry I have to air you out but this is a tired take. Have you even watched a snap this season??? Night and day vs past years so it’s irrelevant to even mention that. This team is firing everyone is locked in and the changes at coordinators have made a huge difference.
