The defense has long been the hallmark of UConn football since the early days of the first Randy Edsall era. The secondary in particular has been top-notch, with seven NFL draft picks since 2005.
Last season, however, the secondary struggled, in large part due to the Huskies inability to replace free safety Andrew Adams. Cornerback Jamar Summers dealt with some regression as well, compounding the problem even further.
Things don’t get any easier this season as the Huskies have just one starter returning, much to the dismay of defensive backs coach Curome Cox.
