UConn +3.5 Friday Night v.s. USF

[Bonehead]

This game does kinda feel like a letdown game after Boise....plus our first game on the road too.

But I will be watching the game in Vegas this weekend....so a bet may have to be made....

which way?

Amazing we're talking about this possibly being a "letdown game" for UConn after Boise. Great that we hung with them into the 4th, but geezz, we still lost by 17 points. One moral victory doesn't make us world beaters. This team is still in the learning process - it's coming together but gradually.

First road game of the season for UConn in the Diaco era, and under the lights on national TV. USF (I don't care how bad they've looked out of the gate) won't be easy by any means - they never have been for UConn. Is it winnable? Is it a must win for any realistic bowl chance? Most definitely. But no way is it a gimme.

Lots of fans going down. I'll be there. Bringing wife and two granddaughters. Game Friday night--cheering hard for a victory. Busch Gardens Saturday. Fly home Sunday. What's better than that. We did the same last year in Orlando for UCF. Hope the outcome is different--lol.

I feel hungover just thinking about my last trip to USF.

Gotta go with Uconn. Can't be in a sportsbook wearing a Uconn shirt and hat while rooting against them.

You will be in Vegas? Hmm. I will be also. Maybe time to throw some wood down.

USF Head CoachTaggart's take: "They [UCONN] play a 3-4 (defense) and they move to an even-man front at times. But they're really stout, they're big up front. They try to two-gap you and really bottle you in. Again, their front seven is really physical. Our guys have got to come ready to play. They're good against the run and they're really good on third down (14th nationally). It's going to be an interesting ball game."

This is a guaranteed win. USF has a worse record than us over the last 2 years, and they are on a downward spiral.

USF was steamrolled by N.C. State last week (mid level ACC at best), and USF had all they could handle with WCU in the opener (WCU 2-10 last year also).

Settle for nothing less than a convincing win.

Yes you're right, USF has won a measly 5 games the past two seasons

But let's not forget that two of those came from UConn.

Friday is anyone's game

Or chicken wings...

Unless it's at the Original Hooters. Calhoun was always big on bringing the team to cultural points of interest on the road.

Anyone tailgating? I will driving up from Fort Myers after my golf tournament. Should be there a few hours before the game?
