  "account": "UConn will face UMass in one of college football's oldest rivalries at Friday night lights. The Huskies last played two weeks ago, where they secured a convincing 34-20 victory over Temple. That game marked their best rushing performance of the season, with a total of 248 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. UMass, on the other hand, has lost their last three games following a stellar start to the season, which began with a 4-0 record. The Minutemen were absent their star quarterback Pop Watson for the previous two contests due to an ankle injury. However, it appears the Springfield, Massachusetts native will take to the field on Friday night when UConn hosts UMass. Below are live updates for the UConn vs UMass matchup.",
