Randy Edsall is one year into his second stint as coach of the Connecticut Huskies. The most successful coach in team history still has some work to do to rebuild the program, but if his track record is any indicator, he will have the Huskies back on track. However, the team may still be another year or two away from contention in the AAC.

The Huskies' problems have always stemmed from an inadequate offense. However, Edsall has re-installed his scheme, and the Huskies are at least credible in that regard. David Pindell is likely to start at quarterback after an inconsistent year. Edsall will run the no-huddle offense this season. The Huskies may struggle in run and pass blocking as they will be playing behind a rebuilt offensive line. Also, Connecticut has little running game of which to speak, putting more pressure on Pindell.

Connecticut was dreadful against the pass last season, and that does not figure to get any better this season. The Huskies have large losses to contend with on an already porous defense. There is no set pecking order at cornerback. Hopefully, one can be established once the Huskies begin their AAC slate. Connecticut is still a young team, but they have the right coach for the job. They will likely take their share of lumps this season, but look for the team to show improvement late in the season and pull an upset or two during its conference schedule. This year may be still early for Connecticut to arrive.
