Lafayette LeopardsvsUConn Huskies
LAF 7/CONN 56
Things to say
UConn blew out Lafayette 56-7 at home to open the season 1-0.
01
opener
Yeah, that one was over by halftime. UConn just ran it down their throat and never let up. Lafayette couldn't move the ball all day.
02
key player
Osborne was the whole show — 265 through the air, 90 on the ground, four total touchdowns. Dude was doing whatever he wanted.
03
hot take
Look, it's a tune-up game against an FCS team. Beat me when they play somebody with a pulse.
04
deep cut
Best part was the backups getting in — Tucker McDonald hits a 60-yard bomb in garbage time. Even the second string was cooking.
05
exit
Anyway, real test is next week. This one told us nothing.
The recap
UConn turned this into a running clock before halftime, hanging 56 on Lafayette and never letting the Leopards sniff the end zone until a garbage-time score at the death. Kalieb Osborne was the whole show, throwing for 265 and two scores while adding 90 on the ground and two more rushing touchdowns — the kind of afternoon where the backups get run too.
There was no turning point because there was no contest; UConn scored on seemingly every possession while Lafayette couldn't move the ball, mustering just 102 passing yards all day. Chalk it up as a 1-0 start against overmatched company and move on.
