Thoughts after rewatching the condensed game, as I missed the first half due to family obligations

* I love condensed games.
* uconns players look as big as ours, the lineman seem bigger on average
* uconn is well coached, executes well & plays their hearts out
* uconn was hitting hard and flying into tackles, gang tackling too
* seems we had good opportunities in the first half, but kept stalling out due to bad play calls or poor execution
* really poor tackling on our end, 1st half
* 8 yards gained after initial contact,  leading to 3rd & long conversions
* #8 comes flying in and gets juked by the punter (who our next player creams).
* I assume its a lack of effort &/or poor technique
* game was tight until UConn broke it open, with a really unacceptable run wide for a 45ish yard TD. Outside contain!!
* 2nd half, we came out w greater effort on D
* battle of will at this point
* angeli almost took us completely out of it a few times. Thank god for our D
* seems like the miraculous comeback boils down to rare poor technique from uconn on the Ross Simmons TD
* Deslauriers technique on both plays to end the game was exceptional.  It was not luck. Really awesome play for a freshman

Hope our coaches can figure out the tackling issues & we get a better version of Angeli for 60 minutes
