CINCINNATI -- UConn doesn't have the electric playmakers in the passing game or a big-time spread offense like Cincinnati.
What the Huskies do have is size. UConn answered the Bearcats' opening drive with a very impressive touchdown march of their own. They did it using their huge offensive line, bolstered by two tight ends and a fullback, and just rammed it down Cincinnati's throat.
The Bearcats play a 3-4 and don't have as much bulk up front. Brian Kelly and Bob Diaco will have to adjust, most likely by bringing their safeties down into the box. That means there will be some plays in the passing game for UConn later on; can Zach Frazer take advantage of the situation?
