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.

They will fill it. You really don't know anything about Delaware do you?

I may know a bit more than you realize. I also have a very good idea of how large a 17k seat stadium is.

Both teams are out to prove themselves. Delaware just got rocked by Colorado and are trying to prove they belong in FBS. UConn just choked away a loss at Syracuse and is trying to prove they’re ready to take the next step as a legitimate team

Should be UConn pretty easily. But we learned last week if you take your foot off the gas, bad things can happen. Take away their passing game, score early and often, and I feel good. Let’s go!!!

Wasn't there a lot of trepidation last year prior to the Buffalo game, with many here predicting a very difficult game and a possible Buffalo win? I'm not predicting a 40 point win like last year, but the pre-game consternation seems similar to me.

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).

I am still perplexed on the decision not to give him the ball 2nd half.

But at the same time while I’ve posted often on the Syracuse game, I am ready to move on.

It was a loss.

It was dissapointing.

It was one we let get away. But it wasn’t as bad as what the Ravens did Sunday night.

17-6 wasn’t a commanding lead - yes we let it slip away but this isn’t one that other teams haven’t also done the same.

I am ready for a complete re-set vs Delaware. I hope the team, boneyarders are as well.
 


-> The Huskies and Blue Hens are familiar foes who haven't faced off since the 1998 season, when both schools competed at the FCS level. This will mark the 28th all-time meeting between the two schools, with Delaware holding a 20-7 lead. This is Delaware's first season at the FBS level and as a member of Conference-USA. Saturday's game marks the first of two matchups against C-USA this season for the Huskies, with the FIU Panthers coming to Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field on October 4. <-

Past performance is not a predictor of future performance. ;)

I was at the Buffalo game last year, btw. It was a pleasant surprise how UConn dominated.

-> UConn vs. Conference USA

UConn is 1-4 against opponents currently in Conference USA: 1-1 against FIU and 0-3 against Middle Tennessee, which it hasn’t played since 2021. The Huskies have two games against the C-USA this season in Delaware and at home against FIU in the first week of October. There are three future games against the league with 2027 matchups set against FIU, Liberty and Delaware in a return game. <-

I predicted 50-0 against Buffalo last year.
