-> Miserable but not miserable enough
Connecticut - Not only are the Huskies 0-5 after their tying extra point attempt was blocked with 40 seconds left to lose 34-33 to Utah State, but coach Jim Mora still won't claim credit for one of the most random college football stories ever. A couple years ago, a Rivals.com reporter posted on social media site X (previously Twitter) that current Pittsburgh Steelers and former Alabama running back Najee Harris told him at a camp in 2016 that Mora, who was recruiting Harris to UCLA at the time, claimed to know the identity of Tupac Shakur’s killer. Mora has subsequently denied this, and reiterated it to the Los Angeles Times in a text Friday after Duane Davis was charged with the 1996 murder. Mora told the paper it was “a complete fabrication." Too bad Mora refuses to lean into this because it’s a whole lot more interesting than anything else going on with his program. <-
