It has been quite the start to the season for UConn Huskies quarterback Bryant Shirreffs. Through four games, he leads the American Conference with 291.2 passing yards per game, ranks fourth in the nation in passer rating and is the first ever quarterback in UConn history to throw for 400 yards in back-to-back games. He’s also on pace to break the school record for passing yards in a season.
For a quarterback whose legs were always a more consistent weapon than his arm, this aerial display was certainly unexpected. But for as great as Shirreffs has been, it’s not even the biggest surprise of his season.
