We take a closer look at UConn’s performance in the season opener against Maine.
Maine, in their first game under a new, young head coach, came into East Hartford, CT and took the UConn Huskies to the wire, almost pulling off a big upset. The 24-21 UConn win was not pretty, especially given the relatively lofty expectations in Storrs for 2016.
The offense received the brunt of this blame, with coordinator Frank Verducci’s relatively conservative play calling serving as the main gripe for many members of the Husky faithful. However, after re-watching the game, it may be on the other side of the ball that the real schematic issues lie.
