College Football News: UConn 82, San Diego State 67
Pete Fiutak writes: "It gets lost in the national championship loss last year that San Diego State fought its way back and was right there in it in the second half, and then … kaboom. UConn turned it up a few notches, San Diego State missed a few shots, national title Huskies. Can San Diego State somehow keep the score down into the 60s? The Aztecs allow 66.5 points per game, allowed 67 points or fewer 18 times - going 16-2 - and UConn is 2-3 when scoring fewer than 67 points. UConn will score more than 67 points. This will be closer than everyone will think … for 15 minutes. UConn is too big, too explosive, and too good."
