SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Connecticut’s trip to the Fiesta Bowl gives the basketball-dominated school something else to cheer about.
The Huskies’ reward is a cross-country trip to face an offense that churns out more plays than any other.
Yep, stopping Oklahoma is going to be a monumental challenge for Connecticut after playing in the run-heavy Big East.
The Sooners have one of the nation’s best quarterbacks in Landry Jones, All-American receiver Ryan Broyles and multitalented running back DeMarco Murray.
Oklahoma has plenty of talented players behind them, too, and like to play at a pace that leaves opponents battered and breathless.
UConn has tried to simulate Oklahoma’s tempo by speeding things up in practice, but it’s been hard to duplicate.
