This is the best UConn win since when? They beat Temple and Tulsa in 2017. Cincinnati in 2016.

So....at least 5 years.

Pretty amazing. Congratulations to the players and coaches!

The upset win we have been waiting for!

These young men never gave up. Kept on playing, learning, and balling out. Actual victories were bound to happen. The players and coaches deserve a night to celebrate this win! Let's go huskies!

Team would be 3-3 without all the injuries. It's sometimes hard for us fans to see the improvement when getting trounced by really good teams but they're clearly way better than RE 2.0 and that's with all the top skill players being injured.

We're lucky to have Jim Mora.

Maybe. Utah St was looking promising but no guarantees.

A pulse! Nice to see them play hard all game. It wasn't always pretty but they earned it. Nice to see that first down at the end as well. Go Huskies!

Good analogy. A pulse. Players had to compete for 60 minutes to win. It was obvious after one quarter there wasn't a talent mismatch. It came down to playcalling, execution and will not to lose again.

very true about Mora. Remember when Sidney Wilson said the Hurley name is basketball royalty? I think the same can be said about the Mora name being football royalty. Even with UConn being a laughingstock in football with their decade-plus of futility, those same people are not laughing at Mora-he garners instant respect.

Here's hoping he uses his skills and the branding of his family name to good use on the recruiting trail.

Important win that says they can compete and strain to win. There is a crap load of work to do, but it’s a first, necessary step.

Old school UConn win. Awesome defense and running game, timely turnovers.

The improvement is clear, we’re not far removed from the worst defense of all time and an o line that could do nothing on the ground. Now we’ve had a solid running game all year despite the injuries and a defense that looks pretty good when not playing legit top 25 teams. Passing game has a way to go to get us where we want to be but great win

Hahaha- he looks like the effete Hayden Ford from Mindhunters- too funny. What a far cry from HCJM.

I always felt like UConn football could really be something and they were well on their way a long time ago but it looked like too much damage was done for them to get a good coach. They've been known as the worst program and that recognition was earned. It takes a special kind of guy to take on that challenge, I really respect Mora for doing it and I agree he lends instant credibility that UConn had not earned with their previous hires and on the field play.

If he just makes UConn football competitive again and takes them to some bowl games, he's saved the program. I'm pretty confident he'll do that.

95 yard drive to win the game!

The foundation is being built. Mora knows how to coach and develop talent. Assistant coaching staff is damn good.

This team has guts and determination. I like it.

 

[BigTenFan]

Mora definitely has the cred to make it work.
A well deserved win for the program

When he was interviewed at the end of the game he said "I'm so happy to be coaching here."

Best feeling after a game in a quite some time. I and the 250 in the house wearing white did nothing but that is on those calling for a white out not realizing UConn has very little white garb.
What a day to have what few fans in the house on their feet and cheering. A couple / few thousand got as loud as I have heard in years!

The team delivered just what they and the fan base needed. Now for it to continue....
