What’s Going To Happen

Houston is playing out the string after losing three of its last four games, and this might just be the last reasonable shot at a win with SMU, at UCF and Memphis to follow.

It’s not awful, but the passing attack that was supposed to be so explosive hasn’t shown up, the defense is just sort of meh, and there are way too many mistakes. Fortunately, UConn is the cure for most of that.

The Huskies have reverted back to their 2018 form with no wins over FBS teams, no defense, and no competitive games since pushing Illinois back in early September. The defense can’t get off the field, the offense can’t stay on the field, and like Houston, turnovers are an issue.

For one week, the Cougars are going to look and play like they were supposed to at the start of the season. The ground game will roll for close to 300 yards and the D will get in the UConn backfield just enough to come up with third down stop after third down stop.
