Message: [QUOTE="KingLurk, post: 4367255, member: 11661"] If I had to write a narrative on the best case for this season I'd do this: Utah State - score some points... got shut out in the opener last year - imagine it turns into a track meet and UConn loses by a couple scores but it's a game in the 30s-40s... not a lot to nothing. Central - game is over by halftime... sign me up for a non-competitive game vs. an FCS school (granted, it's been awhile since they played an FCS school that wasn't in the top of FCS). Syracuse - Winning this game is not likely but most possible of any P5 - let's just say they get lucky at home and Syracuse has no pass defense UConn is 2-1. Michigan - If UConn has the ball within a score at any point in the second half, that's a good outcome. Really think it will look a lot like first trip to Ann Arbor... 2-2 through the first 4 is not bad. NC State - Second very tough road game in a row. They are going to lose... just don't get blown out. Fresno State - Another definite loss but there's a benchmark against what happened last year which will be a good measure of where UConn is - also west coast teams don't typically travel well this far east. If any of the Michigan/NC State or Fresno games are close in second half it's a plus. This puts them at 2-4. FIU - take care of business vs. a bad team on the road and snap the losing streak.. winnable game... doesn't matter if it's ugly, just win. Ball State - more difficult than the week before, but let's say they have the momentum and, again, keep it close win late. I don't expect this as a win at all, but we are saying "best case scenario".. UConn has the athletes at the skill positions to score points against a middle-of-the-pack MAC team. BC - Off a bye week and with some momentum returning home. BC has some really good skill at the offensive positions but a couple of key injuries turns BC from a 9-10 win team to a 6-7 win team. Best case here is competitive game. UMass - gotta win this one after last year. Hopefully the whole team isn't injured and the coaches don't all have covid. Convincing (10 points or more) win. Liberty - Liberty won't be as good as last year. I expect a bit of battle here but a loss. If there is one game which could surprise me, it's this one, but I'm thinking this is a very likely loss. Again, keep it close. Don't get on the wrong side of a losing track meet score. Army - Army will be working out their offense for their entire season (the Navy game) coming up the following week. I don't think they will look ahead... another good "where are we" game... i'm counting it as a loss. [/QUOTE]
