Florida Atlantic vs UConn Prediction
I’ll go with UConn in this one. The Huskies were slow and steady in their win over Air Force, despite holding the ball for just 24:35 of game time. UConn notched 347 total yards and a tepid 155 yards passing, but also put up 6.5 yards per play, 18 first downs and 6-of-10 on third-down tries. The Huskies were able to withstand the Falcons’ rushing onslaught (despite giving up 290 yards on the ground) with just 4-of-10 allowed on third downs. That makes three straight wins for UConn, and they’ve scored 26 or more points in six straight (a 5-1 run).
As for Florida Atlantic, they gave up 403 total yards versus Tulane alongside 162 rush yards, 6.3 yards per play and 21 first downs last weekend but also held the opposition to just 5-of-12 on third downs. That hardly mattered though, as the offense went a tepid 6-of-14 on third downs (but 4-of-6 on fourth downs) along with four turnovers in the defeat. Florida Atlantic has scored 24 or more points in three straight, with 32 or more in two of those. Trouble is, the Owls are just 1-2 in that trio of games. UConn should have plenty of opportunities to score here.
