The UConn Huskies come into the 2022 regular season looking to turn over a new leaf after another abysmal year in 2021. The Huskies finished the year 1-11 overall with the 2nd worst offense in the entire nation. This offseason UConn hired head coach Jim Mora Jr. in an effort to right the wrongs and turn the program around.
Offensively this year UConn will give the keys to Penn State transfer Ta'Quan Robertson.Robertson has been shaky through the first part of his college career but has the talent and ability to turn things around this season for the Huskies. The primary target in the UConn offense this season will be Keelan Marion this season after he accumulated 5 receiving touchdowns a year ago. Aaron Turner and Kevens Clercius will make a big splash within the UConn offense this year as well, while Cameron Ross will return to the field after playing just two total games since 2019.
Defensively UConn was abysmal as well last year but now will use an older more experienced group to turn the tables in 2022. Jackson Mitchell was the UConn leading tackler last year and will again be on the field expected to lead the team this season. UConn will also add a few key transfers to boost up the defensive strength.
