Congrats on the win in advance.

Thanks, but I don't think we're taking anything for granted. We've spent a lot of years going into games in which "competitive" was too much of an ask. I feel good about this team showing up and competing.

Mora is a helluva coach. I was a big fan of his dad's when he was here with the Philadelphia Stars and Jim Jr. spent at least four years of his young life growing up in Philadelphia.

Congrats on the win in advance. As a Temple fan, reading this thread it's pretty much spot on. Temple hit on two great hires (Golden and Rhule), a decent one (Geoff Collins) and completely whiffed on Rod Carey (who had no understanding of the Philadelphia culture) and Stan Drayton, who reached the Peter Principle (his ultimate level of competence was RB coach). Temple can't run the football, can't stop the run and can't protect the quarterback and that's a losing trifecta.
Temple does have good players in RB Antwain Littleton and its three wide receivers: Dante Wright, Antonio Jones and Zae Baines are very good.
It has a really good DT in FAU transfer Latrell Jean and good pass rushers in Florida transfer Diwan Black and Tre Thomas.
Probably enough to produce a better showing than Buffalo but I see this as a 37-10 UConn win.
Jim Mora was a much better hire than Drayton. Hiring an assistant coach is always a crapshoot.

sorry for what you're going through. Trust us when we say we understand.
and thank you for the grace to send congrats in advance.

Obviously what counts is tomorrow and it's not over till the clock is 0:00, but it is appreciated for opposing fans to understand our perspective and what the hope of this season so far, means to us after we rallied behind some of the most pathetic displays of football in the history of the NCAA.

Good luck this season, owl nation. But not tomorrow.

Not having your center can cause problems and you never know when they will pop up.

Especially when coupled with an unknown QB situation.

I great day for football and tailgating. Lets pack the Rent and kick some Owl butt!

It feels pretty cool to be approaching UConn football games with something other than dread.

For a lot of years, watching Connecticut football felt like a job, and a job you didn't particularly like.

I always called it a trip to the dentist; when 7 points was a three-possession game.

We need to win today, and we need to win big to keep the momentum.

Let's hope the fans will turn out.

Let's go Huskies!

Totally agree. The game against Wake in two weeks could be an unbelievable atmosphere but need a win today first. Let's go Huskies.

At this point for us, every game is a statement game. Let's make another big one today.

Play action passes and the run game=lotsa points. Start with some play action to spread em out, then run around them through them and all over them

Blitz City on D!!

No FG’s today

Go Huskies

Do we know who is starting for us at QB today?

It wasn't that long ago when I dreaded 2nd and 1. Because I knew getting stuffed twice and a punt was coming.

 

[WestHartHusk]

How is the tailgate? Couldn’t make it today.

Watching it right now, joly just has a really nice catch and run to convert 3rd and long
