It was a little too close for comfort, but the UConn Huskies secured their first win of 2018 with a 56-49 victory over former Yankee Conference rival Rhode Island. While it’s nice for the Huskies to finally have a win under their belt, it was far from a convincing one. URI — ranked No. 25 in FCS at the time — is certainly no joke, but an easy win would have done wonders for fans who suffered through two absolute thrashings to start the season.
Nonetheless, the game didn’t really show us anything new about this young Huskies team.
