Author’s disclaimer: This column is called Hot Take Tuesday. The opinions and predictions contained in this column will not all be accurate. In keeping with the hot take tradition of sports (particularly football) media, you’re probably better off taking in the spirit of the take rather than the words themselves. Don’t worry, at the end I’ll tell you how seriously to take it.
Let’s start with the one fact we can all agree on: UConn lost to Central Florida by 39 points last Thursday. Some people would look at a season-opening blowout loss and see a bad sign that portends more blowout losses in the future.
