UConn has looked like the juggernaut it was when the program won back-to-back national titles in 2023 and 2024 under coach Dan Hurley. The Huskies are coming off an 86-84 win over BYU. Star big man Tarris Reed Jr. finished with a season-high 21 points in the win.

On the ground, Cam Edwards has dominated the workload with 144 carries for 815 yards and nine touchdowns. He has some speed at 210 pounds, but he can also run through defenders and fight through contact. UConn occasionally leans on him to slow games down, but Edwards has not run more than 100 yards since September.
