Despite being outsized against North Carolina the Connecticut Huskies hung tough with a pretty good Tar Heels team. The Connecticut Huskies will be without starting quarterback Zach Frazier who will miss two weeks with a knee injury. The team has struggled on offense averaging just 125 yards passing on the season. Sophomore quarterback Cody Endres will start at quarterback and he went 3 of 7 for 30 yards last week against the Tar Heels. Connecticut has run the ball 84 times on the season for 3.9 yards per attempt average. Connecticut has been good against the run this season allowing opposing teams just 48 yards per game rushing. On the Baylor side the team will play this non-conference college football game with a perfect 1-0 record on the season. They enter this game off a 24-21 win at Wake Forest two weeks ago. Baylor has the benefit of facing Connecticut coming off a bye week where the Connecticut Huskies had a very physical game against North Carolina a week ago. Baylor Bears quarterback Robert Griffin III has completed 62% of his passes on the season with a touchdown pass. The team was good on the ground in week 1 against Wake Forest gaining 197 yards on 37 rushing attempts for 5.3 yards per carry average.
