The Huskies are getting ready to host no. 13 Houston today in their first attempt at bowl eligibility in the Bob Diaco era.
In just a few hours, UConn Football will kick off for one of its most meaningful and exciting match-ups in recent program history.
That bar is admittedly not very high, but the fact remains.
Technically, UConn was playing for a bowl bid in the 2012 season finale, but the Huskies had used up a little too much of their luck that season with upset wins over Pittsburgh and No. 19 Louisville to claw back into bowl contention, losing 34-17 in a game which they trailed the entire time.
