Game Week 2025: UConn @ Delaware Blue Hens (Saturday 9/13/25 @3p @Delaware Stadium). Game on ESPN+ with audio on the Varsity Network & Fox Sports 97.9

The mystery of Mel Brown's fourth quarter disappearance last Saturday may be solved today when we see the Delaware game two deep. Or maybe not (in the case that he is listed).

Silliness and overconfidence. This is a trap game. First FBS home game, they have a legit fanbase and good attendance. The Hens will be pumped up. We better bring the A+ game.

They are a sound football team. We struggled against unsound teams like Temple and UAB last season.

They have a 17k seat stadium. How good could attendance be? 15k Delaware fans at the game? You'd lambast our fanbase if we had 15k attend a home football game.

Yes, at their former level their fanbase was legit but now that they've stepped up a level it's nothing to brag about. If we can't handle the noise their fans bring we're nowhere near being able to compete at even the lowest level in FBS.

Yes, they should be able to offer far more resistance than Central and yes, we absolutely should not overlook them but their fan base won't alter the outcome, that will be entirely due to how well our team plays.

I expect both their team and fans to have an extra energy as they’re looking for their first FBS win, especially it being us, a regional opponent. I think we’re up for the task to match their intensity, but it won’t be easy
 


-> UConn’s passing offense ranks 14th in the FBS (331 yards per game) and its ground game is 44th with 196 yards per game…

…Skyler Bell ranks as the sixth-most productive pass-catcher with 120 receiving yards per game and lead back Cam Edwards ranks 29th in the nation with his 95 rushing yards per game. <-

-> UConn made two stops on 4th-and-short in the first half on Saturday and ranks No. 16 in fourth-down-conversion defense. The Huskies have also allowed 10 conversions in 31 third down attempts, which ranks No. 60 nationally, and sit at No. 50 in red zone defense after allowing seven scores in nine attempts.

“We’ve got to capitalize on all our opportunities,” said defensive back Tyrece Mills, a Penn State transfer who forced a fumble with a strip sack on Syracuse QB Steve Angeli. “We dropped interceptions last game, so basically we just come into this game trying to stay focused and finish so we can come out with a ‘W’ next time.” <-
