The UConn Huskies were outclassed in all ways Saturday afternoon in a 41-7 loss to Duke. Adding insult to the pain of a blowout loss, star linebacker Jackson Mitchell was ejected from the game due to a targeting-roughing penalty.
Duke’s first touchdown drive was aided by that penalty, setting up a short run by Jordan Waters for a touchdown. While UConn’s offense struggled and made mistakes, the Blue Devils started to pour it on. With the score 10-0, a fumble by freshman Bryan Domino gave the ball back deep in Husky territory. Waters ran it in on the next play from 10 yards out to make it 17-0.
