STORRS, Conn. (AP) – Connecticut and West Virginia were expected to be two of the teams battling this season for a Big East championship.
But the Huskies (3-4, 0-2) have yet to win a conference game and the Mountaineers, (5-2, 1-1) are coming off a 19-14 loss at home to Syracuse that dropped them out of the Top 25. Both teams are looking to Friday’s matchup in East Hartford as a chance to regain momentum.
“I can’t wait to get back on the saddle,” Mountaineers coach Bill Stewart said. “I want to play, and I want to make amends. We want to get back to Mountaineer winning.”
West Virginia is 6-0 against Connecticut, winning 28-24 last year in a back-and-fourth game in Morgantown.
But Husky linebacker Scott Lutrus said that just gives his team added incentive.
“We want to win every game, but West Virginia’s one we’ve never won before,” he said. “It’s a huge game for us.”
