Nice win in a game that we should have won. Two biggest takeaways for me: 1) Chesney bringing his Strength & Conditioning Coach with him from Assumption has made a huge difference at HC. We were bigger, strong, and faster today. 2) Chesney needs to unplug his headset when we have the ball and let his Offensive Coordinator call the game. We could have score 50 today if we didn’t spend so much time getting in our own way, defaulting to 2nd and long after running nearly every 1st down, etc. We have a bunch of weapons on offense, including the emergence of Purdy in the second half today, and the ultra conservative play-calling/approach is just holding the talent back. The arms on our guys. Wow. Jacked. Use some of that 425k to get Gratz a raise.

$425,000 as reported on Crossports Hope they opted for ACH payment and not a live check. The check is backed by the full faith and credit of the State of Connecticut. So cash it quickly.

So many thoughts! Still processing everything. First is the better team won. I was worried about my fist key to the game about starting field possession (UCONN’s punter was their most valuable player) but the our 2 picks helped offset a bit. I’ll have to look at the final stat sheet. Still plenty to clean up and teachable moments which is good. Pete Oliver might have a concussion. He was disoriented after a hit in the 3rd quarter. Should rest him next week if he does. Lots more to thoughts to come…. Something tells me we can afford to let Peter hold a clipboard next week. He made a solid contribution (as expected) today. Let’s have him fully-healed and ready to contribute to our 3-0 start on the 18th in New Haven.

I love HCBC, but I’d hold off the on-side kick surprise for a while. That being said, if it had worked, we’d all be calling him a gridiron genius.

Was there a player of the game? (I remember always hearing about it on radio).

He has really filled out in the past few years! Currently listed as 279 lbs...I know he has bulked up a lot, I sat next to his parents when he was a freshman, and he had a very good day that game..

Remember this was one of only 2 games that UConn fans believed they would surely win this season. The last FBS team we beat ran the table negatively. Hope they don't.

I agree that.I will also be rooting for UConn for the rest of their season...that they win (if possible) and that they "survive."

It's a tremendous win, regardless of how bad UConn is....to beat an FBS program was something I thought we'd never do again 5-10 years ago....very, very excited to be following this program....Chu Chu Rah Rah!!!!

With the W, we have now won 20 of our 30 meetings with the Huskies. Time to drop them from the schedule, and find some better competition?

On the 76th anniversary of my birth: Victory is sweet! Act like champions. Excelsior! This one is for you, Happy Birthday. You're still younger than the President! And, hopefully, some day you'll be older than him. Hopefully not until his term is up at the bare minimum.
