Three days after the game that shocked the college world, Appalachian State is still on the minds of everyone in college football including the Huskies who play Division I-AA, or FCS, Maine on Saturday.
Randy Edsall has talked about it that last couple of days and can't fathom a letdown. There are only 12 games, and each counts the same.
"If you can't get yourself to get jacked up for a game, why are you even playing?
Dan Davis on App State:
"How can you not talk about it? when you put them on the same field as Michigan the average person will won't expect them to beat them. It just goes to show you how the game of football is played. You have to go out there on Saturday and give it your all. We sat down with teammates and talked about."
Worth noting that Maine has played its I-A, or FBS, opponents tough. The Black Bears defeated Mississippi State in 2004 and gave Nebraska and Boston College fits in following years.
Injury updates:
Lawrence Green (knee) is still out and he may not be back for awhile. That's just a guess on my part. UConn won't divulge what knee it is or the extent of the injury.Hicks may be in for the long haul
Ryan Henegan: Out for Saturday. Still progressing.
Everything else looks fine.
Husky walk: UConn's team will no have a "Husky Walk" when they arrive at the field for game time. Instead of driving into the VIP entrance, the team will walk along a trail of Husky paws to the cheering of the fans. More details later. Captains' idea.

I will be very suprised to see any FCS team, for the rest of the year, beat a FBS team. Teams won't make the Michigan mistake. At least you know that UCONN will be up for the game. Great job by the Mountaineers. America loves their underdog.
