UCONN isn't playing the AAC as if next year and will be playing schools similar to ND this year. The triple option will do nothing but make UCONN look even worse than they are now.

you really think the AAC is that terrible.

you really think the AAC is that terrible.

AAC is the Big XII light. It's all offense and no defense. Any of the AAC teams, outside of maybe memphis and cincy, would get killed by any team that has a half way decent defense. Navy did barely anything once they faced a defense that could contain the QB.

Nope, they just need 30 pts to break our record. UMass is at 576 given up after 11 games.

Using sports reference, it appears UConn in 2018 allowed around 605 points (50.4 pts per game average X 12 games).

Meanwhile UMass in 2019 has allowed as you noted 576 which is 52.4 points per game. So thats a difference of 28 points or so ...so yeah looks like if BYU scores 30 this weekend we are dethroned from a ignominious record.

Unfortunately it appears our record for average yardage allowed (and total yards) will remain intact. We finished 2018 allowing an average of 619.1 yards per game, while UMass is at just 553.5.

This year our team defense is up two slots to #128 with 40.6 average points & 452.2 for average yards allowed per game. Temple and ECU will be looking to push this up.
