The UConn Huskies football team is officially bowl eligible after a 36-33 victory over the No. 19 Liberty Flames on Saturday, moving to 6-5 for the season. Assuming they find their way to a bid, this will be the Huskies' first bowl appearance since they fell to Marshall in the St. Petersburg Bowl in 2015.
UConn has now become bowl eligible before the following teams: Auburn, Texas A&M, Miami, Oklahoma, and Michigan State. They defeated a ranked team, something that the USC Trojans can't say they've done this season. And they did it all under the leadership of Jim Mora, who has revived a program that totaled ten wins over its previous five seasons.
