Stingy UConn Huskies Host Baylor Bears In Matchup That Promises To Be Thrillerby Eric WilliamsThe Connecticut Huskies, (3-0 SU, 1-1 ATS, 1-1 O/U) shook off a poor Week Two performance against the Temple Owls on Sep. 6 very nicely on Saturday, pounding the Virginia Cavaliers 45-10 at home. Now, a perfect 3-0, the Huskies get set for what looks like their toughest test of the young season in tonight's matchup against Baylor. UConn has relied on a powerful defense that has limited their opponents to just 229.0 total yards of offense, good for 15th in the nation. Connecticut has also limited their opponents to just 162.7 passing yards per game, (27th) and just 66.3 rushing yards per game, (19th). I guess I should also mention the fact that the Huskies are allowing a microscopic 7.3 points per game! Connecticut's offense isn't exactly chopped liver as they are ranked fifth in the nation in rushing yards per game averaging ... get this ... an enormous 297.7 yards on the ground per game. UConn's 30.7 points per contest ranks 47th nationally.
