Week 9, Thursday 0200
Connecticut Huskies [3-4] @ Pittsburgh Panthers [3-4]
Same prerequisite as it was in this one
#60.
Both teams struggle a lot on offense.
Pittsburgh scored just 24 points over the last two games as they lost big at Rutgers and vs Utah as they were both times 6.5 point favorites.
Junior quarterback Tino Sunseri and freshman quarterback Trey Anderson went 16-of-33 for 131 Yards, 4 Interceptions at Rutgers and 9-of-30 for 50 Yards, 2 Interceptions vs Utah!
Pittsburgh favored the ground game. Junior RB Ray Graham is the nations fifth-leading rusher with 939 yards, 9 TD´s. But he went just 46 Yards on 12 Carries vs Utah and tonight he will meet the nations ninth-best rushing defense.
Connecticut has a similar program. There offense does not play very well, but they had an important win vs South Florida as a 7.5 point home dog before the bye.
Junior quarterback Johnny McEntee hasn´t great numbers this season, but otherwise than Pittsburgh quarterbacks Sunseri and Anderson, he has not thrown an interception over the last four games.
Freshman RB Lyle McCombs has great numbers this season. He average more than 100 rushing yards and is a top-30 nations back. Remember, he is a rookie!
Pittsburgh is the nation #109 in turnover margin while the Huskies are a nations top 10 over the past four weeks with a turnover margin of +5.
There is a 65 percent chance of rain with a 100 percent chance in the second half.
I expect a low scoring game where you can´t favor a side with double digits. If it´s rain both teams will move the ball on the ground which should be an advantage for the stellar Huskies Defense. UConn can compete here and they have a chance to win this one outright.
