STORRS, Conn. (AP) Jim Mora is taking over UConn's football team during a time of conference mega-mergers, trying to figure out where his independent Huskies might fit into the new landscape. The former NFL and UCLA coach is charged with rebuilding a program that left the American Athletic Conference two years ago, allowing its basketball and other programs to rejoin the Big East. The Huskies didn't play football in 2020 because of the pandemic, went 1-11 a year ago and have won just four games since the end of the 2017 season.
