After taking on Fresno State in Week 0, UConn football will head back to Connecticut to take on FCS foe Holy Cross at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field. As one of two FCS opponents on the 2021 schedule, the Crusaders pose as one of the Huskies’ best shots at a win in their first season as an independent.
While the Holy Cross matchup will only be UConn’s second game of the season, a loss would be borderline catastrophic, especially given head coach Randy Edsall’s lack of success so far in his second stint as Huskies’ head coach and the program’s 2-10 finish in 2019.
