UVA Game thread.

"That was UConn Football at its best."

I just threw up.

But seriously, if this is how Diaco thinks he can build a program and draw fans back in, Benedict needs to set him straight on the kind of football that actually does that at the big-boy level.

 

[BNich]

Well, you have to say that Diaco makes every game very exciting...

Haven't we all been wanting an exciting brand of football? Ha Ha...

That was bad. However, our defense showed up with three stall plays leading to the FG attempt. We need to sure up things on third down on the both sides of the ball. 2-1 is 2-1. Hoping to get to 3-1 next week. The crazy part is that if we beat Syracuse, a highly unlikely win against Houston could put us in the top 25.

 

[BNich]

UConn pulls out a win. Still not sure what happened.

Sox beat the Yanks third day in a row.

Being a fan of both UConn and the Red Sox, today ended up a good Saturday.

That was the worst football game I have ever witnessed, nobody should have won

Yep. 2-1 doesn't cure that embarrassment. Very low expectations for the Syracuse game next week.

It's like a Genie and 3 wishes. You better make sure they're very specific or you're screwed.

Consider this; as uninspiring as the football has been, we are a coaches' decision away from being 3-0. I want everyone to appreciate that. I'd rather be a mediocre team that wins than a pretty team that loses. Keep growing, Huskies.

 

[shizzle787]

Yep. 2-1 doesn't cure that embarrassment.

All I know is that we have a winning record (88-87) as a full-time FBS school.

If Virginia runs the table, this will be a quality win.

The Insanity of the Huskies nicely summarized.

 

[BNich]

We just beat a horrendous team on what a was basically a missed pat and we are jumping around like we won the National Championship! SMH

I get it. But they WON. They come from behind and won. The crowd didn't storm the field (unless I missed it) like Kansas fans, but these kids worked hard all week to work for a win. As ugly as it was they achieved what they set out to do. Was it an easy win? No. Was it a proud win like against Houston last year? Certainly not. But a win is a win. It means one more win and one less loss. Think about what that means for the team.

It depends what you consider running the table.

 

[BNich]

Diaco needs to go. We just made a horrible UVA team looked really good. We could have lost this game EASILY.

I would not say UConn made them look really good. They gave up 10 points. To UConn fans the past 6 years thats EXTREMELY unacceptable. Heck, if putting up 10 points a game makes a team "LOOK GOOD" UConn has been phenomenal the past 6 years.

 

[nhHusky]

Burn the game tape.

 

[BNich]

Not having a kicker to make a 10 yard field goal, OK I'll take it.

Let me take you back to UConn 3 years ago. Remember that one?

 

[Bomber36]

It depends what you consider running the table.

Urban Dictionary: Term used often in college football to refer to a team winning all of it's games, usually in a conference.

 

[geordi]

All things being equal, Mendenhall's decision to run his quarterback on 3rd and goal and get stopped with so little time on the clock was just as bad as Diaco's fiasco last week. And Mendenhall's decision, given his background and experience, might have been a bit worse. Seems sometimes we are better than we look and worse than we look all at the same time.

 

[BNich]

Grateful for the W, but that is the most unsatisfying win I have ever experienced.

Have you already forgotten the win against Tulane both last year and the year before?

 

[huskymedic]

It's a win

we stole the table leg.

 

[BNich]

UConn football is the most painful team to watch in North America.

Some would argue Kansas, but to each their own.
