UConn looked like hot garbage against Fresno State.

 

[MTBig Blue]

UConn had one of the worst defenses in NCAA history 2 years ago. Pretty sure they'd finish in the bottom half of CUSA.

Yeah 45-0. Fresno is predicted to be a middle of the pack mwc team. UConn should be a W for the Raiders.

It will be had to find a FBS program worse tha. UCONN. Interesting to read theybjave the same issues at Middle...an A.D. loathed by alumni, mostly failed jump to FBS (minutes the Fiesta Bowl year), and keeping football relevant at expense of other sports. Only difference, they are not afraid to fire a coach.

I watched the extended highlights of the Fresno game. All I can say is wow. If we look that bad next weekend, I'm pretty much out. Fresno didn't even look good in the first half. Monmouth would beat both of those teams IMO. Monmouth's execution is much better than both of those teams and they last played like 4 months ago.

UCONN may not even win a game this year.

I don't think there's a game on the schedule that's "VERY" winnable for UConn. They probably struggle to win intrasquad games.

 

[MT Glenn]

No such thing as a "very winnable game." UConn is trailing 38-28 to Holy Cross, with 6:30 remaining in the 4th.

 

[SpaceRaider]

uconn body language is not good.

 

[MT Glenn]

Now it's a final. Holy Cross 38-28

Too bad UConn didn’t schedule Vandy…..

[blueraiderJT]

Yeah, UConn ain't winning a game. Holy Cross is another FCS team that has made the playoffs. In fact, Monmouth beat them in 2019 in the playoffs.

UConn coach Randy Edsall to retire at conclusion of 2021 season

A day after losing by 10 points to Holy Cross, Randy Edsall announced that the 2021 season will be his last at UConn.

They DID schedule Vandy!!!! Oct 2. Hey, somebody has to win!!!

Seems too early for bowl season. Who else is excited for the Lysol Toilet Cleaner Bowl?

I was wrong. UConn actually does have a "very winnable game."

And now, Coach Edsall has retired from UConn--effective immediately. His return coaching trip yielded a paltry 6-32, but was 74-70 in his first coaching stint with UConn. Most notably UConn had Fiesta Bowl date with Oklahoma NYD 2011. He was also the coach when MT defeated UConn 66-10 in 2000. https://www.cbssports.com/college-f...ement-following-2021-college-football-season/

UConn was rated 190 in the Saragin ratings before losing to Holy Cross.

There are 130 FBS teams in D1. That means 60 FCS schools are rated higher. What an absolute dumpster fire. A lose to this UConn team should be immediate grounds for dismissal.

"immediate grounds for dismissal" doesn't yield any results when trying to translate it into Middle-ese. I afraid our administration has no clue what you're talking about.

Yup. But we have no immediate access to ridiculously exorbitant buyout money.
