We must admit, we're not in the habit of laying more than 2 TDs with UConn. But something is happening at East Hartford as the Huskies are starting to take names, boat-racing capable FAU and Buffalo in back-to-back weeks. What is working for Jim Mora? The running game, rollicking at 244 ypg (ranks 11th), has the Huskies moving consistently. QB play, whether Oklahoma transfer dual-threat Nick Evers (knocked out last week vs. the Bulls) or former Maine transfer Fagnano (10 TDP already, and can run a bit, too), has been very good as well. The matchup vs. yielding Temple defense, which ranks 132nd vs. the run at nearly 250 ypg conceded (numbers a bit inflated by facing Army and Navy), is problematic for the Owls, who are failing to gain any traction for Stan Drayton, just 5-12 vs. the line since last season, and 1-6 vs. the spread his last seven as a visitor.
