DEPTH CHARTS were only designed
as a simplistic gauge for listing
players that departed and players
that received the most playing
experience (consistent starters).
NationalChamps.net recognizes
the importance of missing personnel
data not listed such as redshirts,
transfers, injuries, incoming
recruits, back ups and alternates.
Their coverage will begin with
our full 2011 Preseason Preview
due out this coming spring. |

QUICK
ANALYSIS |
12/18/10
UConn is about to play in its
first ever BCS Bowl game and
they are set to return 16 starters
for next season. In the process,
head coach Randy Edsall has
dotted the list of America's
Most Wanted coaches. No one
in the Big East conference is
ready to compete at the Top
10 level yet. In fact, just
getting teams into the Top 25
period has become laborious
for this struggling conference.
Somebody has to emerge and those
two same somebody's (UConn and
WVU) are the same two favorites
to win the league heading into
2011 with UConn getting the
nod. Offensively, the Huskies
look sound starting with punishing
running back Jordan Todman who
is capable of grinding out the
yards or breaking one for a
long gainer. When UConn runs
the ball well, they can compete
with just about anyone. The
frustration levels throwing
the football should not be so
severe. Every one of the pass
catchers will be back; they
are just short on finding a
quarterback who can get them
the ball. A trio of signal callers
gave it a shot this past year;
Mike Box is the only back to
try again. The defense has been
respectable but a far cry from
the expectations. Gone are two
hefty linebackers, but that's
it. Blidi Wreh-Wilson is the
leader of a secondary that also
returns all of its part including
a great deal of back ups. The
speculation that Edsall would
ever want to move on make no
sense when you can win a title
in an automatic bid BCS conference.
The formula won't change...hand
the ball off to Todman. Without
him, these Huskies won't crack
these Top 25 summer polls. They
do for now based on the experience
factor.
