Do you remember last year’s UCONN game? I have very little recollection of it. Maybe we all removed it from our collective memories. It certainly wasn’t worth remembering. It was an awful game played by two awful teams. The Hoos actually led for nearly the entire game, opening with a first quarter FG and holding a 10-3 advantage at halftime. But Virginia would not score in the 2nd half, and that disaster of a field goal try sent the Hoos home without the win they ALMOST earned.
Fast forward to 2017. Despite the ugly loss last week, the Hoos are, almost undoubtedly, better this year.
