The University of Connecticut has been down for a long time, but at 4-3 on the season, they have won more games already than all but one of the last seven years. Their three losses have come against all teams from a Power 4 conference. They gave up 33 PPG in those three contests. All other games, the Huskies are allowing just 12.5 PPG. Rice is scoring 16.7 PPG in their five contests vs. FBS opponents, and the defense, after a slow start vs. good competition, is allowing 24 PPG over their last three. I think this game has a big upside to be a low scoring game, when you take out the matchups vs. much better competition. I like the UNDER in this one.

Pro Picks
Connecticut at Rice
Winless Connecticut hasn't been a pushover. They lost to Florida Atlantic by seven points, lost to NC State, 24-14, as a +14.5 underdog, and lost last week to Utah State, 34-33, as a dog. Junior QB Ta'Quan Roberson (5 TDs, 2 INTs) has been productive along with RB Victor Rosa (310 yards, 5.4 ypc). Rice has no balance on offense (2.5 yards per carry) and the defense is 102nd in the country on third down (44.26%), 105th in points given up (34.3 per game), and 126th in yards allowed (472.3 per contest). They were favored two games ago against South Florida and lost straight up, 42-29, giving up 597 yards. Play Connecticut.
