USF vs. UConn Football: Everything You Need To Know

TAMPA, FL – Although USF started its football season with two lackluster performances, the Bulls have much more pressing things on their minds ahead of their conference opener with UConn this weekend.

USF cancelled its game against UConn, which was set for Saturday at 10:30 a.m. because of Hurricane Irma's increasingly westward track. While the game was to take place in Storrs, Conn., worries about the team's safety while traveling was a primary decision to cancel the matchup.
