Overview
- Kickoff is 2:15 p.m. ET on ESPN in Boston, with 9-3 UConn chasing a program-first FBS 10th win against 6-6 Army.
- UConn plays under interim coach Gordon Sammis after Jim Mora departed for Colorado State, with new coach Jason Candle building his staff.
- Starting quarterback Joe Fagnano has opted out, while All-American receiver Skyler Bell and running back Cam Edwards say they will play with usage uncertain.
- UConn has not named a starting quarterback, with freshman Ksaan Farrar among the options as portal moves and injuries affect the depth chart.
- Army’s triple-option averages about 245 rushing yards per game, and sportsbooks price the Black Knights by roughly 7.5–9.5 with a total in the low-to-mid 40s, as Fenway officials report strong local interest and higher UConn ticket sales than last year.
