""I was taught through a lot of the coaches that coached me you either coach it or allow it, so I feel that I'm allowing it. There's just some things that I gotta do. I just want to hold them to the standard of who they are. These guys are excellent men, they're going to be great fathers and husbands, and I want to make sure that I'm always holding them to that standard of who they are, and not allowing them to underachieve at anything.""
""Guys not running to get lined up, guys not running to the ball," Brown said. "I just want to celebrate the win with the people, but I'm so pissed. I'm mad as heck right now.""
""Yasin Willis scored a 3-yard touchdown run to give the Orange their first lead of the game with 48 seconds left, but UConn tied the game on a 41-yard field goal from Chris Freeman with 1 second to go.""
Fran Brown required his Syracuse team to run extra sprints after a 27-20 overtime home win over UConn to reinforce standards and effort. Postgame video showed the entire team running rather than leaving the field, with Brown directing them from midfield. Brown pointed to specific lapses such as players not running to get lined up and not running to the ball and invoked a "coach it or allow it" philosophy. Syracuse rallied late—Yasin Willis scored a 3-yard touchdown with 48 seconds left—UConn tied the game with a 41-yard field goal as time expired, and Syracuse won in overtime.
