In my opinion, if we had decent QB play, we would have looked better against Fresno St. and would have beaten Holy Cross. Against HC, Jack Zergiotis had 4 turnovers and UConn had a -3 turnover ratio which, on average, means there is a 10% to 20% chance of winning. With UConn’s shortcomings, you can not have 4 turnovers and expect to win.I do not get this at all. Perhaps in our minds we “assumed” that we were “set up” because we had gotten “bigger and stronger”. We just were easily beaten by an FCS team at home after being embarrassed in a display of epic offensive and defensive futility in week 1. So while hope springs eternal preseason, I just do not understand how anyone still thinks we are in any way set up to win any games
(and before anyone asks, long time season ticket holder who will be at the game Saturday until the final whistle)
What‘s odd about Jack Zergiotis’s play is that he looked better and performed better as a true freshman. He completed just 41% of his passes against HC with 3 interceptions including a pick 6 and a fumble. I think he is a better QB than that.
As for the schedule, the schedule has some really good teams (and I think Fresno St. was one of them), but it also has some winnable games. Let’s see how the season plays out as there are still winnable games on the schedule.
