UConn needs one or two receivers to break out this year. While some upperclassmen have a chance, there are a handful of true freshmen contenders.
Watching UConn football's offense the past few years has been an exercise in torture. With talent deficiencies at the two most important positions—quarterback and offensive line—the offense has relied heavily on some talented skill position players who performed quite admirably under the circumstances.
This year, the running backs will be shouldering the load, as one would expect from an offense molded after a Stanford or Alabama, as Bob Diaco has stated. The diverse skillset of the various members of the backfield should play ell if the O-line can hold up.
