UConn football’s 31-20 loss to Utah State in the opening weekend of the season was competitive until the end, despite controversial officiating and injuries to key players on offense. The Huskies held their own against the reigning Mountain West champions, a clear improvement from their 49-0 humiliation against Fresno State in Week Zero of the 2021 season.
There are plenty of positives that UConn football will be able to take from the first game of the season, and still more areas of improvement for the team to work on next week against Central Connecticut State.
