UConn!!!!!

Today South Florida had a challenge ahead of them. Number 23 Connecticut hosted number 10 South Florida today. Although Connecticut is only ranked number 23 in the nation, South Florida knew they had some competition coming. UConn needed to win this game! If they were to win this game, their ranking in the nation would move up tremendously.
Through the first quarter, UConn had possession of the ball the entire quarter. They finally scored at the end of the quarter only by kicking a field goal. At the start of the second quarter, the score was still 3-0, favoring UConn. With about 9 minutes left in the first half, UConn scored with a 3 yards pass from Tyler Lorenzen to Steve Brouse. The score now 9-0. Next Scott Lutrus intercepted a pass throw from Matt Grothe and returned the interception 23 yard for another UConn score. UConn now led South Florida 16-0. The score carried through until the third quarter until South Florida scored on a safety when UConn tried to punt. I think this was the turning point of the game because the momentum changed. South Florida went to score again in the quarter with a 10 yard rushing touchdown from the quarterback Matt Grothe now making the score 9-16. UConn then scored a field goal making the 19-9. Most people thought "Oh no, the game is over," although South Florida still had a little bit left in the tank. South Florida could not come back from the deficit only scoring on two field goals in the fourth quarter while while UConn delivered another field goal ending the game. The game ended up being 22-15 favoring UConn.
My personal feelings of the game were that South Florida still had a chance. To be honest, I thought they were going to win even until the end. I never thought that UConn could beat the number 10 ranked South Florida because of the talent that South Florida brings to the field. South Florida really upset me with the game they played because they weren't necessarily getting demolished on defense, but they let UConn get close enough to the end zone that they could still score a field goal. Overall, I think South Florida's defense really killed them. If South Florida's defense would have stepped up to the plate and stopped UConn, they would have never got close enough to the end zone to put the football through the up-rights to score the field goals. UConn had a couple field goals that changed the momentum of the game, and truly, it made South Florida lose. Good luck to UConn in the future because if they continue their good play against ranked teams, their ranking will move up, and they will be a contender for the highest bowl games. South Florida really needs to step up their play because if not, they will end up not ranked at all, and struggle to end up in a bowl game.
