UConn’s rise from one of the worst teams in all the land to a bowl game was one of the most chronicled feel-good stories of the college football season.
The story had an unhappy ending for the Huskies, unable to overcome their early mistakes against Marshall, winner of the Myrtle Beach Bowl, 28-14 on Monday. The opportunity to show how far they have come showed, in fact, they still have a ways to go.
However, their second-half rally indicated that the team without a conference was not out of its league in a bowl game.
