The UConn Huskies will head out on the road to face off against the Georgia State Panthers at 7:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Center Parc Stadium.
UConn couldn't capitalize on their home-turf advantage in their season opener. They fell to NC State 24-14.
RB Victor Rosa put forth a good effort for the losing side as he rushed for 99 yards and two touchdowns. Rosa's most impressive was a 71 yard score in the third quarter. Securing the other side of the line was DB Durante Jones, who stumped the offense to the tune of ten tackles.
Meanwhile, even though Rhode Island scored an imposing 35 points, Georgia State still came out on top. Georgia State narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past Rhode Island 42-35.
Georgia State can attribute much of their success to RB Marcus Carroll, who rushed for 184 yards and three touchdowns. The team also got some help courtesy of QB Darren Grainger, who threw for 193 yards and two touchdowns on 20 attempts, in addition to 51 yards on the ground.
UConn will need to dig deep on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. They finished last season with a stellar 9-4 record against the spread, so they might be worth a quick bet.
The Huskies will be out to turn their luck around, while the Panthers will be hoping to grab another win. Check CBS Sports after the matchup to see if UConn succeed or if Georgia State can keep it going.
