I expect a fairly vanilla game plan on offense. The coaches know what the offense can do.

On defense the coaches are still learning about the guys. I think we will use a lot of players as the coaches continue to figure out who can do what. They will want to see if we can generate a pass rush with four and who steps up with the lights on.

Most interesting to me is the number of P-4 transfers who apparently will be sitting behind players whom we recruited directly out of high school. That's not a bad thing, but an interesting one.

I like the lack of "or" on the depth chart. Curious how deep they will go beyond that. Noting Rosa is not on the list. And no PR or KR are listed.

Just to add some meat to the bones there, when they were announced I thought it almost certain that Ty Chan from Notre Dame would start on the OL, Sione Moa from BYU at LB and Ty Mills from Penn State at Safety. One can only hope that they're not starting because of better than expected play from returning players rather than their failure to be as good as we hoped. If it's the former, that's a great sign.

Why is the depth chart a picture of a handout? I know it was the same last year, it just seems like they would something more official looking?

Remember, last year, Jayden McDonald and TJ Sheffield weren't listed as starters the first game against Maryland and they ended up with the most tackles and most receptions on the team.

Seriously? Because reporters are taking a photo of what they are handed with their cell phones prior to when UConn posts it online for the general public and they could print it out on paper and have it look nice.
