UConn presents immediate bounce-back test

Miami hosts UConn on September 26 at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+ for Homecoming, its first game since the Cincinnati collapse. UConn is coming off a 48-20 win at Southern Miss, and Jason Candle's MAC familiarity and praise for David McComb add context. UConn's red-zone offense and penalty issues frame a matchup against Miami's vulnerable pass defense and inconsistent third-down play.
