The UConn Huskies football team will have their work cut out for them this afternoon when they face the first place Memphis Tigers.

Not only is Memphis playing for a share of the American Athletic Conference title, they could be/are looking to avenge last year’s shellacking by the Huskies 45-10 at Rentschler Field.

During his weekly press conference, Diaco talked about the turnaround of the Memphis program as well as their offense, defense and special teams.
