At least it’s not on ESPN+.

With all due respect, I wish it could cure our multitude of walking wounded. That in itself would help your cure theory for sure.

They have scored at least 30 points in each game but one. This will be a tough one.

The production quality of this game has to be better than FIU, correct???
Correct??

This will definitely be a tougher game than FIU, and will test our new-found (and likely fragile) confidence. Will need to play well.

It would help a lot if Marion were to return.
will Houston be ready for this game? Thought he got injured yesterday?

XRays negative. No word on availability for next week.
I’s guess he will miss a week, which would make sense with the following bye week. You’d assume there has to be some soft tissue injury there and effectively weeks would be great for recovery.

Thought is was going to be closer. National flag blue glasses I guess.

If any fans in attendance stream it live on Facebook, then yes, better than FIU.
I have UConn as one of my favorites on my ESPN page and they give the spread for each game as they come and it opened at 11 then it went to 10 and a half then it went to 10 and now it's at 9, all just today.
The way it's going it may end up at that 5 after all.
All of the players came over to console him on the sidelines. I think everyone thought he was done for the year. Sprains can be very ugly. My hope is he comes back after the bye game.

We are going to have to prove it each and every week before we get the benefit of the doubt. We are on our way there now. 3-4 record but 5-2 against the spread this year

Winnable game. As already posted the line is down to 9 already. Ball State's two wins against FBS opponents have been extremely close games. UConn played a tougher early schedule. To me this looks like a close game and certainly within UConn's reach.
Wish that bye week was this week instead of next. It can't get here soon enough.

If there was any need to keep this group grounded, info like this is good ammo for the coaches. I don't think you directly tell the players they are an 11 point dog, but you can point out how no one believes in them yet. Let the players know they have to keep earning the respect every week.
It is an away game, but the good news on that is Zion won’t have to worry about heat cramps. Game time temps should be in the low 60’s. If Houston plays on Saturday I think we win this, maybe by a lot. I also like the way Burns and Millen are coming along.
