South Florida - UConn

[Cane from the Bend]

Well, the last two minutes were somewhat exciting.

South Florida kicked a field goal, to go up 17 - 7 @ 6:04 left in the game.
UConn had to punt with a little over 5 minutes left.
South Florida was held to a punt with just under 2 minutes left.

UConn with only 2 completed passes in the game, up until 1:49 was left in the game. They completed 4 consecutive passes to find the end zone with 1:19 left on the clock, bringing them within 3 points of So Florida.

A decently kicked onside ball by UConn's kicker, but the Bulls jumped on it, and secured a 17-14 win.

Neither team looked at all good here. Yes it was rainy & a little slick. Yet, I've seen high school football games where the players performed better in just as bad, if not worse conditions.

Like I started this posted, other than the last two minutes, this game was a snooze to lead into the weekend.

Eric, how's that Southern Illinois vs Purdue game looking?

Southern Illinois looks dangerous this year. The Salukis got Malcolm Agnew at RB who transferred from Oregon State. He's a pretty shifty and tough runner, so he should run wild on Purdue. That will actually be an entertaining game.

I honestly had no interest in the USF/UConn game tonight. I caught a glimpse of it and saw how rainy it was, and I knew from the get-go that these offenses would stall all night. In addition to being very bad on that side of the ball, the conditions weren't going to help. I have no idea how UConn completed that few passes.
