From what I've seen this Spring to the present, the greatest concern is obviously the OL/QB/WR and their ability. I'm hoping these guys are up to at least above respectable showing for Game 1 of the season. Not to beat the dead horse, but they really are the keys to the game if we want to pull off the win. From an analytical standpoint I see Bryant and Company taking this team to a few touchdowns with the run game exploding through Newsome and Johnson's combo. Defensively, I expect to see the young Villanova line to get taken care of by our Defensive line, at least I hope. A few scrambles by Robertson may elude the Huskies but overall I think our core Linebackers, if taking the right angles, will stop John and hopefully gather a defensive touchdown. Unfortunately as others have said, I find it hard to reach 30 in this game, but it's certainly achievable with our currently new Dual Threat ability and the rise of Thomas (breakout year hopefully!)
Final Prediction: UConn 24 Villanova 10 (2 OFF TD's, 1 DEF TD, 1 FG.)
