61 - Tackles by freshman linebacker Jackson Mitchell in just nine games this season.
What to watch for
The end of an era
UConn will take the field against the Owls for the final time as a member of the American Athletic Conference before moving on to FBS independence in 2020. The Huskies are 11-37 against fellow AAC members, but have beaten Temple (two wins) and UCF more than any other program.
Finishing strong
The quarterback position has been a revolving door this season, but Jack Zergiotis can build up some momentum for the 2020 season with a strong game against Temple. After throwing for 418 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions against East Carolina, Zergiotis can get a firm grasp on the starting positing for 2020 with a big game against the Owls.
THANK YOU!
From all of us here at The UConn Blog, we’d like to thank you all for reading along throughout the ups and (many) downs of this 2019 season. Here’s hoping to a positive ending for 2019 and great start to life as an independent in 2020 and beyond!
