Despite leading for more than half of the game, UConn football’s quest for their first win of the decade will have to wait at least another week, and likely a lot longer. The Huskies fell to fellow independent and longtime rival UMass 27-13 at McGuirk Field in Amherst, Massachusetts, with the Minutemen securing their first victory since 2019 and UConn falling to 0-7 on the season.
Even though the Huskies had a lead at halftime and through a chunk of the third quarter, UMass outplayed UConn for the full 60 minutes. The Minutemen outgunned the Huskies in every major category, nearly doubled UConn’s time of possession, and outscored them 20-3 in the final three quarters of play.
