UConn football’s 2018 season got off to a rough, yet unsurprising, start with a loss to the No. 21 UCF Knights, 56-17.
Quarterback David Pindell was the bright spot for the Huskies, rushing for 157 yards and a touchdown on 22 attempts, frequently making UCF defenders look silly. He was solid through the air as well, completing 27-41 passes (65%) for 266 yards and a touchdown, although he had a bad interception deep in the Knights’ territory at the end of the first half.
UConn got the ball first and started off with a promising opening drive that included a 26-yard scramble by Pindell.
