The O-line has 3 returning starters, you missed Nyadu who took over at LG the army game. There’s been reports from Mora saying the O-line is pretty talented and with Nate Carter stating the O-line has been doing a good job. In regards to Fortin, reports have been stating he’s been at Center/Tackle and not at guard. I don’t see how people can say the offense won’t do as well when UConn has upgraded the staff all across the board and brought in an actual OC in which RE didn’t bother to replace after Dunn left. Maybe just being optimistic.
Giufre was NOT an OC... that was a bad decision from the start.. it turned out to probably be a main part of the beginning of the end of the previous coaching staff...
UConn's offense wasn't as bad as you made it out to be last season. We were a not so good football team because, to be quite honest, we lacked the talent needed to win... and that was on both sides of the ball... we lacked depth and experience big time... missing the COVID year didn't help matters either...
Lack of depth is on the coaching. RE did that to himself by pushing out of dozens of players over 2-3 years that gutted the roster, and he never replaced them. The amount of freshmen and sophs on the two-deep was borderline irresponsible.
Great point... You can't win gutting the roster then bringing in a bunch of borderline kids (FCS/FBS level kids) in this day and age of FBS football. Wasn't gonna work... It didn't work..
