Fran wasn’t worried about beating Uconn

I think they got away from what was working because football coaches think running is what should be done when you’re up 14 in the 4th quarter. We just couldn’t do it well.

I really don’t think it was some kind of purposeful challenge or whatever. I also never thought we’d lose

I love allen and he nas won us 2-3 games but he played peek abo today and wasnt running full speed and attacking los as hard as he should.

Could not disagree more. Just look at the pff run grades and you see the answer.

They knew they could throw on those guys at will. They were forcing the run to challenge the OL. The defense rushed four and played coverage on purpose in the first half.

They were putting Kerr on an island to see what they have no sense in hiding him. Lots of miscommunication, need to get that fixed.

I doubt they are scheming Miami like they did today.

Brown wants to be a team that can impose it’s will, and he tests them.

Coach definitely challenged/tested Kerr this week.
Coach sensed something that led him to make that challenge. Having good Instincts is one of the most valuable traits a coach can have. Kerr is being coached up.
Maybe he needed a little boost in confidence ör sömething like that to make that next step as a player. From what I remember he was a late add and underrecruited, I could be wrong there. But I feel we have a very good player in Kerr!...Future pro. Im pretty sure he had a big punt return a few games ago and that was the first I heard about him.
Also think that its an ongoing challenge to dominate prior weaknesses. Most recently, starting off fast on offense, running the football more efficiently and to make better tackles.
Clearly still work to do but obvious improvements on all three.
* Maybe not so much running the ball today.

I will say as a fan I was never nervous before or during this game. SU dominated the entire time. There wasn’t a single moment I thought UConn had a shot or had momentum despite the score.

100%.
I was saying that was the most unemotional I have ever been during a fairly close game.
It was so predictable how the game would play out.

Game came down to an onside kick. We dominated the game but just like Cal and other games we don't put teams away. Easily left 20 points on the field.

Two touchdowns taken off the board helped keep it close. We are the better team.

And we missed 2 field goals

If they correctly called a few pass interferences, we likely put up more points. We didn’t finish drives well and left points on the field.

UConn is a lot better than they were two years ago. They’ve improved their line play in particular and Mora is a solid coach. We weren’t taking them lightly and it was important to avoid a letdown after a big road win and the biggest game of the year next week. A win is a win
