Bowl contention was basically dead going into this game, but UConn Football still had a lot to play for Saturday afternoon.
Boston College is a regional rival, many players probably were recruited by BC, even if not offered, and a strong contingent of Husky faithful showed up to support this disastrous 3-7 team. Coming off a bye week, one would hope the Huskies had a little something left in the tank for a game which certainly has more meaning than an 11 a.m. kickoff against Marshall in Tampa, Florida the day after Christmas.
In spite of all that, Bob Diaco’s team delivered a wholly uninspired performance, mustering just 121 yards of offense—the lowest total in the program’s FBS history—in a 30-0 loss.
