Whoever UConn just played post game thread

[CTBasketball]

The team played well today, thought the defense could’ve been a tad better on early downs but we got the W and that’s all that matters. Don’t count us out!

 

[JMick]

We still aren't any good but that was a good win. I guess the last couple losses had to average out somehow. In many years past that didn't happen.

Hopefully we can build on this. There are four more winnable games and it would be nice to get at least 3 of them.

Charlton is terrible for many reasons, but the most glaring mistake was his decision to make Roberson QB2 at the start of the season.

 

[JohnFSilver]

Good game, does anyone else want to see Stafford line up in the backfield on 1st and 10 and just get a rip up the gut?

I would just love to see what he could do isolated with a linebacker.

 

[FlakeyFoont]

How sweet it was! Got to believe it was all those good vibrations raining down from the stands by the vocal Husky faithful that finally got us off the schneid.

Jurkovic lost his QB job at Pitt - he was arguably even worse than JF - and now Narduzzi appears to have him practicing as a TE.

I wonder if there is any other position Zion can play, or is willing to play?

Zion still absolutely deserves to be a qb biding his time learning on the bench in the qb room. He earned that right getting thrown in as a freshman for 11 games and getting 6 wins.

The Rice board is pissed. I love it.

An offense like today's vs. Rice, beats FIU, Utah State, and NC State, putting us at a more expected 4-2 and well on the way to a bowl win & P4 invitation in a few years, i.e. steady improvement. IMO at worst, we're 3-3 - accounting for additional development time for roberson.

GA State and Duke were abominations across the board, so those were losses either way.

there needs to be true, severe accountability for this decision. we NEEDED every win we could get, to survive in the college football landscape. even us idiots on the boneyard knew who the starter was during the summer.

a part of me is afraid, that if by some miracle we go on a sudden tear and finish out 5-7 or something, Charlton keeps his job. I'm done w that guy. Mora all day, but enough with the wunderkind experiment.

Sideline reporter, Smacker Miles was a bit odd on the ESPN+ feed. Can't be her real name and she's not talented enough for me to Google her.

Google “Les Miles’ daughter” instead

The connotation that comes with her name is very interesting......

Let's be fair here. No one on this board though Roberson was an FBS quarterback two weeks ago. If he had been named the starter week one, you would have people criticizing the decision as well.

i am ONLY speaking for myself, not this board. TR has been qb1 in my view since 2022. I do NOT like zion (as a qb1 i mean - great kid and teammmate, based on interviews) , and I always felt sus about the Maine kid coming in.

From what little I saw she makes you want to.

Everyone focuses on the QB, but the biggest difference the last two weeks is the overall effort and intensity. This is table stakes in FBS, and we are finally playing hard every down like an FBS team should. We got to keep it up.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Watched on gamecast from a hotel room in Spain. We actually won a shootout by getting 4 turnovers.... I don't know that I've ever been excited by a line of text as I was when they posted that 59 yarder to Joly. Can't wait to get home and watch it.

Jelani Stafford was the offensive spark we needed

 

[Stinger92860]

The slant to Joly was open all year.

[Scoe]

i said to myself over and over again saying I am not rooting for an 0-12 team, nice to get off the schnide and win a good damn football game. Good for Mora and these kids who have stayed on and not quit.

We have won a game now let’s win games and let’s do it against USF.

Throwing the ball is good!

true.--could only imagine if we had this Roberson when we faced FIU and NC State....

Rice has a board?

 

[Palatine]

Lets hope so for us bozos,

Some times the defense should be given credit for the opponents miscues no?

Absolutely. But two of the TOs, the swing pass and the punt drop were unforced errors. The truth is that many college football games are lost rather than won.

But we deserve credit for a pretty clean offensive game. We put ourselves in a position to win. And an ugly win looks beautiful in the standings.
