UConn Postgame Discussion Thread

[sugrad68]

Help me out here. Last year we had a QB named Shrader who couldn't hit a wide open receiver if his life depended on it. Now we have a QB named Shrader who looks like an All-American both running and passing. Where did this new guy come from?

 

[Orangezoo]

Not gonna lie. Won't even check the boneyard to see their tears.

Just kidding

It's a graveyard over there lol.

 

[Dinkyspond]

I like how the D does not miss tackles

 

[Willy75]

No turnovers.

Beck and Anae found him

UConn stinks

Yeah, I saw this after a Uconn fan pointed this out, I guess the talks of Utah State being a dark horse for the top G5 spot can be put to rest…

UConn is now, and will always be, a joke in a football.

 

[Stevenson]

Great game, but why are we playing an NCAA grab bag team on the road? That “stadium” looked like a Texas high school facility.

 

[OrangeDW]

20 of 23 passing!!!

So after Phil Simms’ 22-25 in the Super Bowl, basically the second greatest performance in the history of western civilization.

ESPN boxscore says there's still 10 minutes left. I think we're celebrating too early.

 

[Yeti]

20 of 23 passing!!!

And none of the misses were thrown at the uconn defenders. His PFF score is gonna be crazy.

Absolute domination, and Louisville didn’t look bad last night. Give us some votes!

Good point.


In the future, if we play UConn, it’s at the Dome. Not a 2-1. Not a 3-1. Not a 10-1.

100% of the time at the Dome. They are Colgate/Wagner.

This is a team with a different feel. The daunting schedule seems to be breaking down by the week (Irish eyes be damned). This UConn team was trash but I'm encouraged by the passing game tonight. So many receivers involved and making catches. Schrader making all the throws. The D made some great adjustments in the second half. Our Coordinators are legit. Man, I wanted to see CDRW and Lequint in half two and they (CDRW) did well, but the second string D far outshone them. This team tackles better than any team I've seen in 20 years. Consider me encouraged.

 

[OrangeDW]

I want Bama. Bring me Bama.

 

[David321]

Shrader was straight dropping dimes tonight.

They are Colgate without the history, at best.

Anyone that attended the game want to share what percentage of fans were Orange?

We will still have to fight the officials in every game except Wagner. So, things won't be easy, but we can win any of these games.

Nebraska -22 spread is tied in the 4th. Can’t take any win for granted

Notre dame -20. Loss
A&M. -19. Loss
Alabama. -20……GRRR

it's been behind all night, it was stuck on 6:23 left in the 3rd Quarter for like a half hour

 

[Orangefizz]

I really love that this was a businesslike win. We dominated in all three phases of the game and had discipline all game long. Our tackling technique in the open field is tremendous. Just a perfect win for the orange today. The reserves got experience in the fourth quarter and no major injuries. We honestly have the best overall coaching staff since the P glory years. I am so excited for the rest of the season. Would love for us to be 6-0 heading into the Clemson week and think it’s very realistic.

 

[hoopsupstate]

It will be a shame is we don’t have over 40,000 in the Dome next week.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

I want Bama. Bring me Bama.

Transitive property of college football

We beat UConn by 34 on the road, so add 3 more = 37
UConn lost to Utah State by 11 on the road so subtract 3 = 8

Syracuse +29 over Utah St

Utah State lost at Bama 55-0 = -52

So we’d currently lose to Bama 52-29………….but I’d be willing to try!
