I know it’s a silly point after a nice win to cap an 8-4 regular season, but Gresh is awful. I don’t know what was worse….his constant yammering with his annoying voice, or his mistake after mistake? He didn’t seem to know which team was which...which player was which…etc..

CBSSN does a better job than ESPN+…but I did enjoy using the spilit screen option at times.

ESPN plus is a website, not a network. They buy the rights and provide a platform for teams and conferences to air their games. That game isn’t produced or announced by ESPN. The hiring is all done by the home team’s athletic department.

Didn’t the broadcast show both QBs (Fagnano and Evers) warming up before the game?

8-4 is an incredible accomplishment especially looking back the start of the season versus Maryland. Hope the boys feel great, they have a reason to celebrate.

But we really haven't played a clean, smart game this year. Today they could have run UMess out of the stadium. But sloppy play, dumb penalties, drops, etc, almost ruined the day. That we won today shows the talent of the guys.

Don't know where the bowl is, but if it's not on Christmas, I'll see you there. Go Huskies.

I think you UMass played a good game. Their offense was Actually pretty impressive. I don’t know maybe I’m of the age where I’m seeing the good in all things, but I think both teams played well and ended like it should have.

Didn't have espn+, didn't bother with radio. Switched back and forth between Boneyard chat and Stat link from UConn website. Cumbersome but effective. You guys were great, occasionally short on detail but from what I heard, better than the UMass announcers. Thanks for getting me through it.

Posted earlier, awesome year of progress. Only non competitive in MD game, 3 coulda shoulda wouldas with Duke, WF and Cuse along with a potpourri of blowouts and close ones with "inferior" opponents. More than got the job done.

Bowl win, NIL, and recruit your butts off! Go Huskies.

They shouldn’t. Not counting the CBSSports games called in ‘22 by that female basketball announcer, that may have been the most poorly called college football game I’ve ever seen. It’s one thing to be promoting the agenda of the athletic department that hires you, but I’ve never seen a crew unable to get the name of the teams right, or figure out who a penalty was called on, that consistently.

She had no idea what she was doing and she did every home game. It almost became enjoyable by the end of the season just because it was so bad.

Was there even 10k at the game? Poor turnout for a team going 8-4 first time since Fiesta bowl year.

It was a miserable day. Cold, windy and a 2-9 team that has no conference, no bowl and no permanent head coach. The school is on break. The stadium is god awful.

I give credit to those who attended - both teams.

It was entertaining no doubt.

How could you forget that FIU game in ‘22. The broadcast was so bad you needed to watch it with eclipse glasses.

That was by far the worst broadcasting experience I've seen around UConn football. Today's announcers or the issues with the 2022 announcers don't even compare to the unwatchability of that amateurish broadcast. The cameras often pointed at nothing in particular, the image quality was poor, the color was off... it almost felt like we were being trolled. It was like an SNL sketch about a high-school AV club summoned to cover the Super Bowl due to some contrived emergency.
 
I’m confounded as to why our D has been getting progressively worse. Maybe we have become too predictable. Our pass rush has been generally poor all year, the cover hit or miss, but the vulnerability to the run seems to be getting worse by the game.

Wow. That sounds painful at best. I would rather not watch it then deal with that... You are hereby nominated for fan of the year for that.
 
I will take the win. I was worried about the UMass offense. Not a pretty win, but a win none the less. 8-4 is a good season, especially when the first game was terrible. 8-3 after Maryland loss, all three loses to P4 schools, and all 3 were respectable games. Probably should have won 1 or 2 of them.
 
UMass is a problem for us. Everyone keeps saying they are our rival but having any association with them just brings us down. I would prefer we stop playing them until at least we land in a football conference.

I will give Mora credit..his teams fight until the end. They may not always execute well, but they play hard.

The first half was frustrating because one UMass TD was a result of the Fagnano bad INT. Another UMass TD was a result of MacDonald’s 2 facemask penalties. Can’t get down on him..he has been amazing this year…but those calls gave away 7 points. I was also frustrated that their 50% passing qb was passing at 80% in the first half. Bell’s drops also were a buzz kill.

But…things calmed down in the second half as the D get tighter. I was still disappointed the D couldn’t get one turnnover versus 3 freshman QBs. But the running game took over and put the game away.

Freeman has been amazing this year…the O line played a great game…I would give Fagnano a C.

Congrats to the team and coaches on a great year! On to the bowl game!

Brock has done a good job in the second half all season of using a more vanilla game plan in first half and squeezing in the second half.

We’ve played them 78 times dating back to 1897. Closest FBS school and old Yankee rivals. Doesn’t really matter that we’re a tier above them; it’s still a legitimate rivalry
 
When did Tui Fumunia-Brown get hurt.? He was limping on the sidelines for the entire game.

I get it, but I feel like it hurts our candidacy for a legit conference who clearly don't care about regional rivals. I mean Cal is in the ACC...

They showed him in pregame warmups on a split screen with Fagnano saying "we think it's Fagnano".
