UConn Is Going Back To Square One And That's A Good Thing. Welcome to the Deadspin 2. Leading up to the college football season kickoff, we will give you previews of the 2. Now, No. 9 UConn. Gone is Bob Diaco and all his adorable, made- up rivalries and ideas of broadcasting college football on Nickelodeon—he gave it his best, I guess, but it turns out even an innovative genius like Diaco can’t afford a three- year record of 1.

So he, like the drunken coeds fiendin’ for some of that good- ass mac and cheese, got kicked to the curb at the conclusion of the 2. Instead of taking any sort of risk at all and hiring someone else to come in and start plugging the numerous holes that have the Huskies’ hull scraping the ocean floor, the UConn athletic department administrators decided to play it safe and turn back to the man that made them wonderfully average. Randy Edsall is back in the saddle after a tumultuous four- and- a- half year run at Maryland—with the Terrapins, he went 2. Terps fans, he finally got the boot in October 2.

UConn waited another year and a half before it made its move to snatch back the one that got away. Edsall will now be tasked with accomplishing same trick he pulled off when he took the Huskies to the big leagues in 2. UConn not completely suck ass. Somehow, it’ll feel even more impressive if he can do manage it now, given the current pathetic state of the program.

Last season, UConn ranked dead last in the entire FBS—1. If you are looking for a silver lining, I suggest you look elsewhere; the Huskies were revolting to the eye, being shut out twice and topping 2. By comparison, the defense was the fucking Steel Curtain, doing its very best to keep opponents from topping 3. UConn failed to hit the 3. To remedy this, Edsall went out and hired Rhett Lashlee, who took a $2. Auburn in order to have full run of the Huskies’ offense and put himself in a better position to nab a head coaching gig down the line.

Tigers head coach Gus Malzhan, a known offensive force in the college coaching universe, finally turned the reins over to Lashlee three games (and two losses) into the 2. Lashlee responded by leading the offense to a win against LSU the next week, the first victory in what would become a six- game winning streak in which the offense topped 3. The Huskies now want him to recreate some of that magic for them, though hopefully people will understand Lashlee is going from cooking with kobe beef and Mauviel pans to a Betty Crocker playset—things will almost certainly get better, but let’s be reasonable about what “better” can and will actually look like. For instance, three quarters into UConn’s season- opener, “better” was starting to look like simply hitting double- digits against an FCS team.

Quarterback David Pindell, a junior college transfer, was named the starter at the outset of the season; it only took a couple quarters of check- down- heavy play against Holy Cross for the UConn coaches to realize the error in their ways. Pindell finished 1. AAC opponents, but not against a team that’s coming off a 2- 4 finish in the Patriot League.

With UConn trailing 2. Pindell was pulled in favor of Bryant Shirreffs, who filled in to the tune of 9- of- 1.

He led the Huskies on two scoring drives and also got to do something only a select few Huskies quarterbacks have had the past three years: kneel the ball to secure a win. Considering Shirreffs couldn’t beat out Pindell in the offseason, I have little- to- no confidence that we won’t see Pindell back under center by season’s end. But, for now, Shirreffs is UConn’s starting quarterback.

Regardless of who ends up taking snaps, they’ve been been blessed with the gift of Arkeel Newsome, a compact running back that laid a big ol’ turd rushing- wise against Holy Cross (one yard on eight carries) but otherwise should be the team’s deadliest offensive weapon. With Newsome having an off game, redshirt freshman Nate Hopkins stepped up, delivering a 1. Newsome is a senior, and with 1,5. UConn gameplan, especially given Lashlee’s up- tempo, space- friendly offense. That said, if the offense can work Hopkins as the every- down back and use Newsome out of the slot or backfield more often (he was second on the team with 4.

Huskies. Continuing to work Newsome into the passing game is also a strategy implemented out of necessity, as the receiving corps lost Noel Thomas, who was the team leader with 1,1. In terms of receivers that can provide a boost, junior Hergy Mayala had the best performance of his career against Holy Cross, hauling in nine catches for 1. The 6- foot- 2 Canadian hasn’t shown much outside of last year’s 9. Houston defense, but as a big guy on the outside, he’s likely going to become the favorite of whoever’s throwing him the ball.

Behind him, you’ve got Keyion Dixon, Aaron Mc. Lean, and Tyraiq Beals.

The defense, now being run by coordinator Billy Crocker, switched over to a 3- 3- 5 in order to shake things up and, with what should be an improved offense, keep improving on its actually decent +9 turnover margin from a year ago that tied the Huskies for 1. UConn’s defense was also quietly one of the better at bottling up opposing running backs and stiffening their backs in the red zone, two things Crocker showed a talent for coaching while building up the Villanova defense to excel in those areas. While the Huskies decided to have an extra man patrol the secondary, thanks to a bevy of serviceable upperclassmen, UConn should again field a solid front seven, err six, this season. This all starts up front with defensive end Luke Carrezola, who led the team with 1. The senior is joined by a pair of fifth- year guys in tackle Folorunso Fatukasi and fellow end Cole Ormsby.

In a 3- 3- 5, I wouldn’t expect any of these guys to post ridiculous numbers, but Carrezola is a mountain of a man, so I expect him to show out for more than the two tackles he registered against the Crusaders.

Behind them, senior linebacker Vontae Diggs, joined by redshirt junior Chris Britton and redshirt senior Junior Joseph, round out the linebacker corps for UConn. Diggs was second on the team with 8. Huskies, which is great news considering Joseph, who logged 8. Holy Cross. He’s still expected to play moving forward, but it’s something to keep an eye on given they boast few proven playmakers behind him. The secondary will almost assuredly be home to the team’s leading tackler this season, with Jamar Stevens—1. Crusaders—and corner Tre Bell being the two names to know here.

A Guy To Know. Shitty outing against Holy Cross aside, Arkeel Newsome is too damn good to be on this roster; alas, this is the trade- off of allowing 4. Fresh off setting the Connecticut high school state record in total rushing yards, Newsome was the first Parade All- American to sign with UConn in program history when he committed the Huskies back in 2. Four years later, he’s the team’s most explosive running back, kick returner, and, maybe, receiver. Newsome boasts burners, a wonderful array of quick- cuts and jump- stops, and some of the softest hands you’ll see on a running back. He ranks fifth on UConn’s (admittedly brief) list of all- time rushing yards leaders and, according to the New Haven Register, is now 1.
