UConn Hosts Ball State in Key College Football Showdown This Saturday

East Hartford, Connecticut – The 2025 college football season is heating up as UConn prepares to take on Ball State this Saturday, September 20, at 3:30 p.m. at Pratt & Whitney Stadium. The game is part of a quadrupleheader on CBS Sports Network, promising high-stakes excitement for fans.

UConn, who currently holds a record of 1-2, is looking to end a two-game losing streak after back-to-back overtime losses. The Huskies have struggled to reach two wins in their first three games for eight seasons in a row but are optimistic about their chances against Ball State, which also stands at 1-2.

“We’ve been so close in our recent games. It just takes a few plays to turn this around,” UConn’s quarterback said. He has shown promise this season, throwing for 865 yards and five touchdowns without any interceptions. His performance will be crucial as he faces a Ball State defense that ranks among the worst in the nation against the pass.

Ball State has not secured a win against any FBS opponent outside the Mid-American Conference since 2021, adding pressure to their performance this weekend. The game is set to be a critical matchup for both teams’ aspirations in the American Conference.

As the spotlight shifts to Colorado Springs later that evening, Boise State will challenge Air Force at 7 p.m. on CBS Sports Network. Boise State is looking to continue its dominant 12-game winning streak against Mountain West opponents, while California faces San Diego State at 10:30 p.m.

With the excitement of the college football season building, fans are eager to see if UConn can clinch their second win against Ball State this Saturday.
