Thus far, the 19-game run of Randy Edsall’s second stint with the UConn Huskies has been high on hype, but low on results. After what we thought was bottoming out in his first season, his second year appears to be going worse, with a lone glimmer of hope coming in the form of a close loss on the road against USF last week.
If we are willing to give Edsall a pass for having no upperclassmen to start on defense, and if we’re willing to cut the team some slack for facing one of the toughest schedules in the country to open the season, then we actually would not be crazy to have some expectations going into this final stretch of the season, despite all the awfulness that has gone down so far.
