When Middle Tennessee State visits Rentschler Field on Oct. 22 at 6:00 p.m. the Huskies will have just completed their third quarter of the season with game no. 8 against Yale. It also wraps up a four-game stretch of very winnable football games, starting with Vanderbilt, UMass, then Yale, and ending with this contest against the Blue Raiders.
Considering this UConn team hasn’t played any competitive football in over a year, it’s hard to really gauge how winnable these games truly are. But one thing is for certain: If UConn doesn’t beat MTSU, it will likely have to wait until the 2022 season to pick up another victory, as the last three games are against Clemson, UCF, and Houston.
