There were some signs of trouble ahead even as UConn was putting up 40 points in a win at Central Florida.

The Huskies ran nine plays in UCF territory on consecutive drives in the second quarter but were unable to add to a 9-3 lead as failure to pick up a first down on 4th and 1 ended one drive while a sack and holding penalty brought an end to the next one. It took a pair of interceptions by the UConn secondary to allow the Huskies to put up a pair of touchdowns late in the second quarter.

Fast forward to Saturday and the same issues reappeared only this time it was too much for the Huskies to overcome.

UConn converted only four out of eight times on 3rd and 4 or shorter and were twice stopped on fourth down. Before Rodney Adams' third touchdown reception gave the Bulls a 28-13 lead more than 60 percent of UConn's offensive plays were run in USF territory yet all the Huskies had to show for it was a 36-yard touchdown run by Bryant Shirreffs (set up by another UConn interception) and two field goals.

UConn finished with 528 yards of total offense, just the second time in the last 74 games that the Huskies broke the 500-yard mark. I did some checking and UConn was one of 24 FBS teams to put up at least 500 yards of offense but the only team failing to score at least 30 points with 12 teams scoring at least 50 points.
