I absolutely loathe that officials in sports are never held to any real standard or accountability in sports. Don’t get me wrong, they deal with a lot of crap (especially from fans), but they also don’t make it any easier on themselves when they do crap like this.
That was coaching malpractice. The announcer called the previous play a 1st down, but the ball was marked short. I think they called a pass thinking it was 1st down. The announcer and the board called it a 1st, but the refs never gave the signal and the yard markers never moved. Coaches should have known that.
Mora to his Dad, “Hold my beer.”
Well this was targeting by the ACC REFS!
I disagree. I thought the d line didn't get enough penetration. And, that first series of second half was a killer.
I wish we were in a P4 to not have to deal with this bias. It is what it is and more and more I really HATE the ACC... Should we ever get into a P4 not of the ACC ilk, I would love it we never scheduled another game with any team in that conference. Those teams and that conference have done more to damage UConn football than anything or anyone else!
That was my thought. Why is he playing if he can't run?
It did end any chances of UConn winning. Thought it was PI, friend of mind said the UConn receiver made contact first, so he leaned no call.
Send all loud complaints to the UConn Athletic Department. They're the ones who sign the contracts
BTW -this game I repeat 0 holding calls - have you ever seen a game with no holding calls. I was there I sat on WF side and every time they shouted Wake Forest - I shouted SUX at the top of my lungs. This team is to me like BC, Duke, Syracuse, Pitt, Miami, FSU, Clemson, and like so many of them in their conference! Sure will kick their butts in Basketball, but in Football you will never ever, beat these teams when their conference is looking weak because they will have their REFS "Call" the game! I really don't want to see them schedule another ACC team. Why? as Mora said, The REFS of the ACC don't have a level playing field! so _______________EM! The other thing I was thinking is maybe the fans should go to the games with yellow flag beanies to throw on the field and do the job the REFS wont do. Also, one comical commentary I heard from ESPN radio, About the bad call, ... Those guys wearing the stripe uniforms better coral the horses before leaving! Not sure the last time I heard that from announcers! Coach Mora also feels that what happened is because UConn is an independent and WF is in a P4! Now one thing I will say is that even Randy Edsall felt this way about UConn too. So I am wondering what is up with UConn getting so little respect???
This!!!
Also went off on someone asking if there was a silver lining. Frankly, coaching staff put an unprepared team out there to start the game.
We would have likely with a conservative estimate kick a tying field goal and then it goes into OT... Let the kids play and let the play decide who wins1 I mean if we want to make decisions for kids then just flip the coin and winner of the coin toss is declared the winner so we can all go home! Save 4.5 hours. Not wrestle with the idea of good coaching or fundamentals. Mora is Ticked! I expect our next game will be high octane energy - JET FUEL to a forest fire! (burn baby burn)- feel sorry for our opponent - NOT! and guarantee this is going to be used for every subsequent game! We lost yes, But his reaction will get me back in the stands again!
