The Florida International Panthers are set to visit East Hartford and Pratt & Whitney Stadium this week to take on the UConn Huskies. The Panthers are 2-1 on the season following their 46-39 win over North Texas last Saturday, during which Kejon Owens rushed for three touchdowns. Connecticut, however, is 0-2 in the season, having just lost to Georgia State 35-14. The Huskies have also suffered a big loss in quarterback Joe Fagnano, who is out for the season with a shoulder injury.

Connecticut is the betting favorite, opening at -10.25 and currently sitting at -7.
