Game is on. The stands look deserted. The sideline analog thermometer is higher than the maximum it can show.

Not exactly a lot of interest in watching the worst 1A in the country from 3,000 miles away by fans in the valley.

This heat 100+ will affect UConn's conditioning.
This field has melted shoes in the past. Fresno State brings extra pairs of shoes to the game.

Fourth and one. UConn Offensive line plows through the bulldog defense as UConn QB picks up several yards on a QB sneak. 117 degrees on the sideline.

UCONN appeared to be hanging tough for almost the entire first quarter. Strip-sack turned scoop-and=score puts Fresno up 7-0 w 2 min left in the 1st.
Let's see if this snowballs....
Fun fact: Fresno is the largest city in America not connected to the interstate highway system.

Still early, but not seeing too many play-making threats on UConn’s offense.

UConn had a wide open receiver for a sure touchdown and the QB way overthrew him. I hope they don't work out all their kinks before next week.

Odd stat of the day. UConn possessed the ball for 10:33 of the first 15:00 but only had 29 yards of offense.

UConn had ball for 10:33 of first quarter. We're going to have to deal with their O-line.

Fresno scores. Starting to snowball. Both good and bad for HC.

I’ll never understand why UConn went back to Randy Edsall after firing Diaco.

There wasn't another coach in the country who wanted the job. That's why.

There wasn't another coach in the country who wanted the job. That's why. I don’t think that’s true. Lots of qualified assistants would have jumped at the chance to ink a multi year deal that’s mid six figures annually.

This feels like a game that will end up 42-3. Only 14-0 at the moment with 4:35 left in the half and Fresno punting.

UCONN is absolutely terrible. Team full of mental midgets.

UConn's legs have gone. Didn't see much evidence of UConn freely substituting on defense.
359 yards of offense for Fresno State in first half. About 320 yards of that was in the second quarter.

The heat on the field (they say it feels like 117 degrees typically hits the trailing team harder. Also, Fresno has speed to burn, especially with Rivers. I was surprised to see the play in the first quarter by UConn. They'd not look like a team coming back from, in effect, a year off.
