2009 NCAA - Connecticut
Randy Edsall continues to evolve as a head coach. He's finally got his Huskie program where the initial goal was - to play in and win bowl games. His career record in 10 years is on the cusp of .500 and he's piloted the Huskies to two straight bowls, including a covering win over Buffalo last season. Now, after leading the nation's leading rusher to the NFL, he's hired a new offensive coordinator. Joe Moorhead comes from Akron to install a spread offense, which is not normal for a team that also doesn't have an experienced quarterback. There is a ton of talent at receiver, which will help whoever wins the QB job in the transition. Special teams look to be a strength for the Huskies, as well. |

UConn has a trio of junior linebackers back to anchor the defense. The secondary is okay at the top, but there is no proven depth. That could prove troublesome if the Huskies have any injury issues, as three freshmen and a sophomore are the backups. There is some versatility in the front seven, which will help DC Todd Orlando. |
| ASK the bookie? - UConn's schedule includes probably three winnable non-Big East games, so a 3-4 league record could get Edsall's gang back to a bowl. "The Bookie" constantly has underrated UConn in the past. Without stud RB Donald Brown this year, it will be easy to dismiss their chances again this fall, but 7 wins is certainly possible if Edsall can coax maximum ability out of his team. |
