If you thought the BC-UConn matchup this weekend was actually going to be a toss-up type of game just a few weeks ago, you would have been laughed at and degraded for your lack of sports knowledge. Well, we’re now at a point where BC needs to take the threat of a Huskies upset very, very seriously. UConn is also pushing for a surprising bowl bid, while the Eagles are…
Kickoff: UConn will look to make it three in a row this afternoon when they visit the Ball State Cardinals in Muncie, Indiana. As usual, the Huskies will once again be short handed in some spots but this team has proven to be resilient this season. Four Downs: (Four keys to the game.) 1. Viva La Rosa! It’s going to be the Victor Rosa show today. Look for OC Nick…
The UConn Huskies have won two in a row and are currently 3-4. With a win on Saturday versus Ball State, UConn will have won the most games in a season since 2015 when they finished 6-7. The key to their recent success has been an improved defense and their running game. The ground game in particular has been very effective the past two weeks despite missing leading rusher Nate…
Kickoff: The UConn Huskies will look to make it two in a row when they head down to Miami, Florida to take on the Florida International Panthers. The Huskies picked up a huge win against Fresno State at home last week. A program defining win in many ways. It is a homecoming of sorts for quarterback Zion Turner. The true freshmen quarterback is expected to have 150 friends and family…
The FBS schools won a couple of big games while Holy Cross and Harvard played a doozy at the Stadium. All part of another great weekend of Division One College Football action in New England. Here’s our poll for this week. 1. Holy Cross (5-0): The Crusaders reinforced their legitimacy with an impressive road win at Harvard. They host Bucknell at Polar Park this Saturday. 2. Harvard (2-1): Crimson battled…
Image courtesy of @UConnFootball By Tony Catalina NEFJ Correspondent EAST HARTFORD – We’ve seen it before, a win that changes the course of a program’s trajectory. Without trying to overstate it too much, UConn’s 19-14 win over Fresno State on Saturday afternoon feels like just that. Coming into the sixth game of the season as a heavy underdog (23.5), not many people around college football were giving the Huskies much…
Kickoff: The Huskies return home after a tough two game road stretch in which they got outscored 100-10. They will look to bounce back this week but they are shorthanded with a slew of skill players out. This is the second straight season these two teams are facing each other. The Bulldogs beat the Huskies 45-0 last season in Week Zero at home. Four Downs (Four keys to the game)…
UMass competed for four quarters but ultimately lost to Temple. Week Four was a tough week for the FBS programs in the region but the top FCS programs thrives once again. Here are some thoughts on the week that was in New England College Football. Boston College fell behind 21-0 en route to a 44-14 loss. Getting off to a good start is key for this team. When they don’t,…
Image courtesy of This Is UConn Country. UConn coach Jim Mora wanted to see more out of his football team after last week’s 59-0 loss to Michigan. He did. The Huskies played better this week but still lost 41-10 to N.C State last night. The game couldn’t have started any worse for the Huskies. N.C State scored on the first play from scrimmage when quarterback Devin Leary hit wide receiver…
Kickoff: The Huskies are in Raleigh, North Carolina tonight for a prime time match up with the N.C State Wolfpack. The Huskies are coming off an ugly 59-0 loss at Michigan. The Wolfpack aren’t exactly a bounce back opponent so the Huskies could be in for another long night if they don’t get off to a good start. Four Downs (Four keys to the game) 1st Down: Get Leary off…
