What to watch for
- UConn football is playing a game for the first time in nearly two years. No matter how the season turns out, it just feels good to see the Huskies play football again.
- No matter how good or bad this game starts, UConn is going to show some rust — that’s just what happens when you don't play football for a whole season. Can the Huskies shake off a lot of that rust against Fresno State and show some signs of life in the second half, or will UConn have to wait until they take on Holy Cross to really get going?
- No matter what any of the coaches or players say, the heat will be a factor on Saturday. A kickoff temp of 105 degrees is no joke. For UConn, that probably means an even deeper rotation of players than what will likely be normal. Nonetheless, it will be a good opportunity to likely see a lot of the roster in live action against a solid opponent.
- While we know offensive weapons like Cam Ross, Jay Rose and Kevin Mensah will be factors this season, we don't exactly know who will be getting them the ball. Will Randy Edsall alternate on some sort of schedule in game with Jack Zergiotis (Swaggy Z as the kids are calling him these days) and Steven Krajewski? Or will he pick one to start with and then try and ride the hot hand through the season? This probably the biggest and most interesting question for at least the first few games of the season, but it’s possible we truly may never get a straight answer on who will get the most snaps for each game under center.
- Since Edsall returned to coach the Huskies, the defense has been... bad, to put it lightly. Fresno State is a pretty tough test for UConn defensively, as the Bulldogs return almost all of their major offensive weapons from last season. The Huskies probably won't win this game, and may give up some easy points, but if they can make a few stops down the stretch, it could be a sign that this unit took the year off to come together and improve.
