ESPN’s Bill Connelly SP+ projects a 37-23 UConn win (80% probability):

 

[Jimdish255]

These guys can get up and down the field. A decent QB with a pair of good receivers. Let's see what Coach Brock can cook up on defense. And it's still warm this time of year. A bit of a different environment. Everybody needs to be locked in for four quarters. That's the biggest challenge.

Any fellow Husky fans tailgating down there?

[RSTuthill]

The outcome of this game depends on which teams show up. It is predicted to be closer than the Air Force game. That does not give me a really warm feeling.

 

[businesslawyer]

We have lost to both Delaware and Rice on the road. There is no reason to think we can't lose this game on the road as well. If we play our best, however, the odds of us winning are really high.

 

[BugsyCT]

Any road game is tough for us, no matter the opponent.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

On the plus side, this team lost to FIU by ten a few weeks before we beat FIU by 41.

On the minus side, this team beat Rice by six (at Rice) a few weeks before we lost there in OT.

We need to bring it for all 60 minutes if we want to win this game.

 

[huskymedic]

 

[Scoe]

Need to stop getting off to slow starts. FAU I'm sure has us circled on their calender since we dominated them last year. We need to bring it.

 

[RitzLuce1]

Isn’t Mel Brown able to
Play in this game and maintain a redshirt? You get to play in 4 regular season games?

Would love some extra pop to the offense with him and Juice back.

I love what UConn Football has accomplished this season. I was over the moon when they defeated Duke in front of a packed Rent and then followed it with a good victory against Air Force to top off a perfect home record.

Having said all of that, UConn is simply not good enough where we can chalk up a win against any team, especially one on the road. I still remember, as many of you do, how deflated I felt after they lost to Rice.

Is Juice definitely back for this game?

Hopefully he and Honig are back. That TE in the Air Force game, Nader Chirchi has the hands of a seal.

Did Honig not play against Airforce?

 

[BugsyCT]

A couple tidbits going into this game - Joe Fagnano is only 5 yards away from 3,000 passing yards for the season (DanO is the only other UConn QB to do that), and Skyler Bell needs 7 receptions to reach 100 for the season. That's an impressive amount of receptions, especially for a UConn WR (the 2nd most receptions on the team is Reymello Murphy with 29). Noel Thomas currently holds the school record with 100 catches in 2016.

 

[businesslawyer]

Did Honig not play against Airforce?

I'm fairly certain I saw Honig on the field. But I don't think he played much.

 

[LIUCHusky]

Did Honig not play against Airforce?

Yes, he played.

 

[Jimdish255]

Did Honig not play against Airforce?

I don't think he was 100%
After Juice got targeted I thought he was gone for a long time. Woukd be great to get him back for at least the Bowl Game.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Yes, he played.

Yes and he dropped a pass, which not trying to beat on the kid, but he's good for one of those a game

 

[UConnJim]

I'm fairly certain I saw Honig on the field. But I don't think he played much.

Honig played 38 snaps, Hansen played 38 snaps, and Chirchi played 6 snaps out of a total of 57 snaps. No TEs had a reception. Honig was not targeted, Hansen was targeted once and Chirchi was targeted twice.

Steve Cully on the Schuman podcast on YouTube with Joe D said Juice should be back next weekend. He’s friends with Mike Burton. Hopefully we find out some more tomorrow at Mora’s presser. If any of the reporters bother to show up.

So where does one go to find out how many snaps individual players were on the field for?
