UConn football didn’t bring their most impressive game to the field on Friday night against UMass but, fortunately for them, they just needed to be ‘good enough’ to earn a 27-10 victory over their rivals to the north.

The Huskies were outgained 354 to 334 and struggled to convert red zone opportunities, but a solid second half and an explosive rushing play fromDevontae Houston was enough to pull them ahead of UMass for their fifth win of the season.

In the first half, UConn’s defense didn’t look quite up to the standard set in the run of games from Fresno State to Boston College.
