The situation with Connecticut football is moving quickly from grief to something more surreal. For the second straight game since the death of CB Jasper Howard, the Huskies have lost late on a huge play by the opposing team. Wanting so badly to win one for their fallen comrade, the team is instead coming so close to a win that they can feel it only to have the game wrenched away from them at the last second. Today, Rutgers WR Tim Brown scored on an 81y pass play with less than 30 secs remaining as Rutgers won 28-24. Brown was a good friend of Howard from Miami so there was something fitting about his scoring the TD. Still, with the home crowd creating an emotional and celebratory environment, there was a great need to win this game. Not being able to do so was bad enough but losing in this fashion has got to be devastating.
On the schedule for next week? On the road at Cincinnati.
