Connecticut Huskies 2017: Reviewing the Preview


U Conn Huskies

Final Assessment
I just see absolutely now way that U Conn will be better in 2017 than they were last fall, and in fact could be a bit worse, and the schedule, and of course, their overall lack of talent on the entirety of the roster, will be the driving force. The Huskies do not have enough offense, not nearly enough, to push through, and they play a three out of four game road stint in the middle of the season, followed by three consecutive games away from East Hartford to close out the season. That is a solid recipe for disaster with this football team. I see only two real chances at wins this season in games against Holy Cross and East Carolina, and anything else is a bonus.

What Really Happened
I was not very far off. U Conn did show improvements in offensive performance both in the passing game and in the run game, but when all was said and done, the Huskies won three games, which, as I said last Summer, was a bonus. One of those wins was indeed against Holy Cross, but the final score was in doubt well into the fourth quarter. In the end, U Conn did not beat a single team that finished with a winning record, and closed the season with a five game skid.
