UConn Looks to Stay Hot, Improve Bowl Prospects

The UConn Huskies have already secured bowl eligibility for this season, starting their year with a 6-3 record. They have won two straight games, beating Rice and Georgia State, and will look for a third win in a row here against UAB. UConn’s versatility on offense has made them tough to stop so far this season, as they have averaged just over 200 yards per game both on the ground and through the air. They will attempt to use that to keep UAB’s defense off-balance in this contest.

Can UAB Get Second Straight Win?

The UAB Blazers are just 2-6 on the season, but they did get a win in their last game, defeating Tulsa 59-21 at home. UAB’s defense played much better than usual last week, allowing just 21 points after giving up 35 or more in five straight games before that. If the UAB defense can step up again this week, they have a chance to get another win and keep themselves alive for bowl eligibility for at least one more week.

UConn vs UAB Prediction

While UAB deserves credit for getting a win over Tulsa last week, we do not expect that momentum to carry into this UConn vs UAB matchup. UConn’s offense should have a field day against the porous defense of the Blazers and we will take the Huskies to win this game and cover the spread as a favorite on the road.
