Army vs UConn Prediction

UConn should have a decent crowd with this game in Boston and there’s a chance at 10 wins. Motivation should be there, as UConn has never won double-digit games in a season. The problem is pretty much every big name player for the Huskies won’t play. That includes quarterback Joe Fagnano, running back Cam Edwards, superstar receiver Skyler Bell and ballhawk corner Cam Chadwick.

There’s also the coaching shuffle with UConn, as Jim Mora left for Colorado State. It looks like everybody is playing for Army. There’s only so much a team can overcome, and you’re asking a lot of UConn to find offensive success in this spot. Give me Army in a bowl beat down.
