What you need to know: Is this the week UConn finally wins? UMass is the only FBS team the Huskies have beaten in the last two seasons. The Huskies are 3.5-point favorites on the road, but lost freshman quarterback Tyler Phommachanh for the foreseeable future with a knee injury. That should mean sophomore Steven Krajewski, who was impressive off the bench against Vanderbilt, should be back under center.
