Also, will the offense get consistent play out of quarterback Jack Zergiotis or Steven Krajewski?ĭefensive Concern: UConn allowed 40.5 points a game and seven yards a play in 2019.
Offensive Concern: Restocking a line that has three new starters is a priority. UConn brings back a couple of proven targets on the outside in Cameron Ross and Matt Drayton at receiver, along with tight end Jay Rose. Offensive Strength: Running back Kevin Mensah (1,013 yards in 2019) is underrated and should be the focal point of this offense. There are opportunities for wins in ‘21, but the Huskies are in rebuild mode after going 2-10 as a member of the AAC in ’19.
UConn is now a FBS Independent and plays a schedule featuring three Power 5 opponents and two FCS opponents this fall. The Huskies did not play a game in 2020 due to COVID-19 concerns and quite a bit has changed since the end of the ’19 season. The problems aren’t going to be solved in just one offseason. This defense gave up nearly 250 rushing yards a contest and ranked last in the Sun Belt in pass efficiency defense. Finding a go-to running back and improving the offensive line are two priorities to watch this offseason.ĭefensive Concern: ULM gave up 42 points a game and 6.85 yards a play last season. Offensive Concern: How much can this unit improve in one offseason? ULM managed only 4.8 yards per play and 16.3 points a game last year. ULM has some promising weapons at receiver. Also, Rich’s son – Rhett Rodriguez – transferred from Arizona to compete for the starting nod. Offensive Strength: Rich Rodriguez was a strong hire as offensive coordinator. ULM finished 0-10 and was outscored by a combined mark of 420-163 last season. New coach Terry Bowden has one of the toughest assignments for a first-year coach in 2021. After giving up 45 points a game and 6.7 yards per play last season, this group has a long road back to respectability. Linebacker Darren Anders should push for all-conference honors.ĭefensive Concern: Bowling Green brings back six starters, but a couple of key contributors to last year’s group departed. Defensive Strength: Eric Lewis takes over as defensive coordinator, so a fresh approach for a group that struggled last season is never a bad thing.
