UConn football’s dream season continued this weekend with a 27-10 win over UMass. While this result might have been before the year started, the 2022 season has gone far better than anyone could have reasonably predicted. Heading into their final two games of the season, the Huskies are 5-5 with two games left and a puncher’s chance at bowl eligibility.
But despite having more wins this season than in the previous three combined, scoring their first win over an FBS team since 2019, and the first over a Power 5 team since 2016, beating Boston College for the first time ever, advanced statistical models still see UConn as one of the bottom-tier teams in college football.
