A look at Connecticut, which hosts USF on Saturday at Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Hartford, Conn.
Nickame: Huskies
'16 record: 3-9
'17 record: 1-0 (defeated Holy Cross, 27-20)
Coach: Randy Edsall (13th season at UConn, 75-70; 18th season overall, 97-104)
The breakdown: After coming off the bench in the second half to rally UConn past Division I-AA Holy Cross, Huskies senior QB Bryant Shirreffs gets the start Saturday. Shirreffs, 9-of-13 for 124 yards and a TD in the victory, has 21 career starts but lost out to juco transfer David Pindell in a preseason QB derby.
