Due to the unfortunate circumstances involving some schedule shuffling, UConn Football is playing its second straight game on a short week as the Huskies host Memphis tonight at the Rent.
It’s no secret UConn has a tall task ahead if we’re going to see an upset tonight. The oddsmakers favor Memphis (3-1) by at least two touchdowns and despite losing big at UCF last week, the Tigers have beaten UCLA, Louisiana-Monroe, and Southern Illinois in high-scoring affairs. We can take comfort in the fact that ULM and SIU put up decent point totals, scoring 29 and 31 respectively, and maybe with a few lucky bounces (read: turnovers) UConn could pull it off.
