What to expect?

I couldn't begin to tell you. What I do know is that Wake Forest is looking for its first-ever 3-0 start after beating Duke on Saturday. What stands out in my mind, though, is the Demon Deacons' quarterback. Their starter, Benjamin Mauk was injured, and in his place redshirt freshman Riley Skinner led a hungry Wake squad to the win. In the process, Skinner was named the ACC's rookie of the week. He was 22-of-29 235 yards passing and a TD.

Is one game enough for the Huskies to prepare for a different look? I think so. The Huskies have a veteran defense that knows how to take advantage of inexperienced players.

This is also very important in terms of the course of the season is concerned. UConn cannot afford to hit the road next weekend in Bloomington, IN., and have a .500 record. The Huskies look to be a boderline bowl team, so every win or loss could make or break the hopes of Husky Nation.
