Game Overview
Boston College Eagles (1-5, 0-4 ACC) host the UConn Huskies (4-2, FBS Independent) in a non-conference matchup. Both teams boast top-25 passing offenses, but their defensive records paint a contrasting picture entering this game. Boston College is on a five-game losing streak, including a blowout loss to Clemson, while UConn is coming off a dominant win over Florida International[3][5].
Key Factors to Consider

- Recent head-to-head data is not available in the provided search results.

- No significant weather issues are forecasted. Game is scheduled during the day, reducing potential disruptions. Boston College is at home, but their overall struggles may dampen any home-field advantage.
