UConn vs. USF vs. rain: Friday night college football!

That UConn was able to draw within a single score of South Florida in the final two minutes is a testament to just how weird college football can be. USF’s offense wasn’t great, but the Bulls did just enough to take advantage of an absolutely horrific night of Huskies football, emerging from Raymond James Stadium with a 17-14 win.

2. Bob Diaco has his work cut out for him. That Paul Pasqualoni didn’t leave the UConn football program in the best of shape is not new information, but Friday night was a jarring indication of just how far Bob Diaco has to go to restore the Huskies to some semblance of competitiveness -- even in the relatively talent-light AAC. The sterling reputation that Diaco earned while serving as defensive coordinator is going to keep him off the hot seat for a year or two, but many more nationally televised efforts such as pitiful as this one will shorten the honeymoon considerably.

By air!

By land!

Yeah, that’ll get you booed in South Florida:

There’s just one small letter between UCF and USF, but a big rivalry. Here, for next time:

Weak blocking, dude.

South Florida and UConn are playing each other in Tampa Friday night, a battle of two football teams that are not very good. What promised to be a bad game is going to be even worse, as much of the state of Florida is covered in a giant rainstorm.

A look in at Raymond James Stadium confirms (a.) that it is raining, and (b.) that we’re about to see a really sloppy game.
