[HEADING=1]Why We Will Lose[/HEADING]
[HEADING=1][/HEADING]
[LIST]
[*]

[*][B]UConn’s ability to score in the red zone.[/B] They convert efficiently inside the 20; if our red-zone defense is sloppy or we fail to get timely stops, drives will end in points.
[*]

[*][B]Big-play threats.[/B] RB Edwards and WR Bell are true home-run threats; a single missed assignment or breakdown could flip momentum instantly.
[*]

[*][B]Experienced scheme on offense.[/B] Their veteran offense can exploit mismatches and sustain drives that keep our offense off the field and wear down our defense.
[*]

[*][B]Bend-but-break tendencies.[/B] Our defense often lets teams move between the 20s and then gives up points.  If that “break” happens to us, it will show up on the lose column. 
[*]

[*][B]Penalties and turnovers.[/B] We had costly giveaways and penalties last week; continuing that trend will kill drives and hand them advantageous field position.
[*]

[*][B]Special teams uncertainty.[/B] Our special teams remain a concern (from last year).  Hidden yardage, field-position swings or a miscue could decide a tight game.
[*]

[*][B]Tackling and fundamentals.[/B] If tackling issues persist despite coaching assurances, their big-play guys will exploit missed tackles and broken assignments.
