Posting them a bit early because i have time. At Bradley waiting at gate 28 right now. I got a feeling that I am going to get delayed in Philadelphia. You always get delayed in Philly, especially with the rain.
Anyhow, I got a good feeling about Saturday for the Huskies. Are they favorites? No. But I don't see how Virginia can pull away barring defensive touchdowns or special teams scores. I don't think they are going to chew up the Huskies defense. Close game and both teams under 20 points.
Update: Landed safely. Lots of traffic. This place is beautiful. Also, if you are down here for the game, it is going to be a lot, A LOT, of fun. I of course am working. I would pay to come here to watch.
Anyhow, here we go:
Keys to the game
Stop Chris Long
Long has seven sacks and 14 hurries, and at the halfway point he is living up to his preseason All-America status. It may take some help by a tight end or running back, but Long can’t be allowed to wreck havoc. If the Huskies can neutralize him in the pass rush they will go a long way towards putting together their patented long drives.
Force Sewell to beat you Huskies have to stop the run and force Virginia to throw the ball with Jameel Sewell. Sewell is at his best when he is playing off a solid running game. If the Huskies can bottle up the running game, it will really put the pressure on Sewell to move the Cavaliers through the air.
Stop big returns
The Huskies can’t — can’t – allow Virginia to have any big returns. On the road against an opponent that doesn’t have a lot of big play threats, it’s imperative to make them score with a long field. Starting drives at midfield or better spells disaster for the Huskies.

Uconn needs a quality win before they can be considered top 25. The 5-0 record they have now considering their opponents is not legitimate. A win at virginia would legitimize their record.
