Missouri's defensive play-makers should be too much for UConn to handle

It's too early in the season to derive much from rankings or opponent-adjusted stats, so for today's BTBS session, let's simply take a dive into each of UConn's first two games and see what we can learn. The Huskies are 2-0 with wins over FCS heavyweight Villanova and Army. Simply beating Villanova by any margin is semi-impressive, but the Army game shouldn't have been as close as it was.
