#134 ASA PLAY ON UConn -5.5 over Buffalo, Saturday at 12 PM ET - Buffalo is coming off a huge conference upset topping Northern Illinois last week as 14 point dogs. They topped the Huskies 23-20 in OT despite getting outgained 359 to 184. They caught NIU coming off a win over Notre Dame in their previous contest so a perfect spot for the Bulls to catch the Huskies. After that huge win, Buffalo now goes on the road again in a somewhat less meaningful non-conference game @ Connecticut. The Huskies are playing solid football right now coming off a 48-14 home win over FAU last weekend. Dating back to the end of last year, UConn has won 4 of their last 6 games with their only losses coming @ Maryland and @ Duke. The offense is very confident right now, especially at home where they’ve scored 111 points in 2 games this season. The Huskies are averaging 6.4 YPP and are one of the better rushing teams in the nation 242 YPG rushing on 5.6 YPC. The Buffalo offense (averaging just 4.5 YPP – 123rd in the nation) will have trouble keeping up in this one. The offense can’t really hang their hat on anything as they rank 99th in rushing and 126th in passing. The Bulls defense ranks 71st vs the run this season and could run out of gas in this one after being on the field for 85 plays and 36+ minutes in last week’s upset. The Huskies have played the tougher schedule so far this year and they have a +125 YPG and +0.8 YPP differentials while Buffalo is -55 YPG and +0.2 YPP. We think UConn is a bit undervalued right now because they haven’t been a very good program as of late. Head coach Jim Mora Jr definitely has the Huskies headed in the right direction.
