STORRS, Conn. — The UConn football team is in a league of its own — and won it.
“We were sitting here at 1-4, we gave up 148 points in those three games, NC State, Syracuse and Michigan, we kind of had a reset meeting,” coach Jim Mora said after practice Wednesday. “And we talked about some objectives. It’s going to sound kind of silly. We decided to create our own conference.”
This could be called taking lemons and making lemonade, or whistling while one works. Rather than bemoan their independent status, or the 48-14, 59-0 and 41-10 beatings they had just taken, Mora grouped the Huskies’ last seven opponents and called it the start of “conference play.”
