Backwards and Sideways

<Is this football season upside down and inside out or what? Teams that should be winning are losing and those that should be headed for mediocrity are winning big. Upsets are prevalent throughout the top 25, especially among the top 10 teams. Is there any way we can just fast forward to next year?

A lot of partying going in the U of L visitors section all the way until halfway through the fourth quarter against UConn. You also got the impression that UConn fans weren’t really engaged until their last touchdown. The constant rain made staying focused a challenge for even the most ardent of football fanatics.

Our tradition of winning the wet, soggy games just went down the drain, too.

Was Brian Brohm really throwing again to Sergio Spencer on the final interception? The Brohm-to-Sergio connection wasn’t working, had failed time and time again on the final series. The pass was right to the UConn defender, clearly avoidable, looked like it was thrown too quickly from my seat. (One was reminded of one of those Chris Redman passes to a Southern Miss defender back in the bad old days.)

Have to give the defense credit for holding UConn scoreless in the first half. Had U of L’s offense had been up to par, it would have been no contest. Coulda, woulda, shoulda ….

  1. On the pass at the end of the game, Brohm appeared to be throwing deep down the middle to Scott Long. It was just an awful throw. It may have slipped out of his hand. I don’t know.
