On the heels of several days of getting my soul restored after watching Hawaii's defense, I am back with this week's FFFF. No, it's not a good team this week. In fact, it's likely another very bad one, but I can guarantee you this piece will be less grim than either of the Hawaii ones from last week. Today we're looking at the offense for the University of Connecticut, who return to the schedule for the first time since 2013, when the main photo for this piece was taken by a then-much-younger Patrick Barron of The Michigan Daily in his pre-MGoBlog days. The Huskies are 1-2 on the season and in the first year of head coach Jim Mora Jr. Can he fix UConn football? Too early tell, but we can learn a few things in doing this exercise. The Film: We're using film from UConn's week zero matchup with Utah State for this one. I had hoped to use last week's game against Syracuse due to the Orange being a Power 5 opponent but I could not find a usable cop

Geana Torres spun her bat in her hands and stepped into the batter’s box. Down 5-0 against No. 20 Virginia Tech in the bottom of the fifth on Friday, she needed to spark an SU comeback.
Keely Rochard had just tied the NCAA’s season strikeout leader with her 261st strikeout against Toni Martin. Torres wanted to break up the eventual no-hitter, the first time the team had been no-hit in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Instead, she watched as strike three went by her, and she walked back to the bench frustrated.

SU enters Saturday’s matchup against Notre Dame without attack Chase Scanlan, who was suspended from the team last week after he was involved in what the Department of Public Safety classified as a domestic incident. Scanlan was reinstated by head coach John Desko on Monday, but he will not travel with the team to Notre Dame.
