What They're Saying About UConn Football - Postseason Edition
Huskies end up at 67th in SP+, a nice change of pace from the usual landing spot in the 120s.
The Athletic seemed impressed with the Huskies, ending up at 58th.
Kelley Ford a little less bullish than the others, as UConn ends up at 79th.
Parker Fleming, a fantastic follow on X/Twitter, had a series of analytics posts now that the season is over.
UConn was slightly less pass-heavy than in 2023, which could be explained by not playing from behind as much, plus having three highly-productive backs.
Not surprising, the Husky run game was in fact, good.
Rush defense was also a strength, on the backs of a strong front seven.
Did the Huskies chuck it? Sort of, almost right in the middle of the pack, throwing deep 15% of the time, and completing about 31% of those passes.
UConn’s ADoT (average depth of target) was about 8, and the on-target throw percentage was approximately 66%.
Despite the pass game being better than in recent years, efficiency was low, especially compared to the run game, which is also why you see Boise near the Huskies.
