All the players will tell you the same thing. So does Randy Edsall: Every game is a big game, blah, blah, blah, blah.
This game will decide whether UConn football takes the next step. A loss puts the Huskies at 2-2 and the Mountaineers at 3-0. PapaJohns.Com Bowl here we come. A win, well, that puts UConn in the drivers seat to earn its first-ever BCS Bowl bid.
One warning sign though. This game is HUGE, but Edsall can’t make it out to be too huge. By, according to Darius Butler, deciding to move the All-Big East cornerback to offense and limit his defensive snaps, Edsall is acting desperate before the game has even started. If UConn thinks it needs to pull all these wild tricks to beat a team that lost to East Carolina and Colorado, then it’s already lost the game. The Huskies should trust the formula that’s gotten them this far (Donald Brown), and by all means, if Butler can still contribute on defense as well, there’s nothing wrong with adding a little explosiveness to the offense.
