It took me 4 hours and 45 minutes to get to Rutgers from Farmington, Conn. I came in the stadium early first quarter.
My goodness, it seems like a lifetime ago.
The Huskies lost another heart breaker to Rutgers, 27-24, and gave away another game. The Huskies put the game in the ice box in the second half and played so conservative I don't think they gave the offense a chance. Then, when it needed to rev back up, the offense couldn't do it.
Two second guesses here. If I am Edsall, I go for the touchdown with 6 seconds left and a yard out at the end of the half. I think it's worth the risk, and if that TD scores, I think UConn wins going away. UConn needed two scores to prevent what happened tonight, a broken play leading to a death spiral. It's a classic second guess, and UConn should have won anyway, but I would have liked Randy Edsall to have run the ball one more time. It's risky, no doubt about it, but the reward is tremendous. Imagine a 28-17 lead at the half? Not a chance Rutgers comes back.
