UConn Depth Chart - [Kinda] Young, Inexperienced....
And about to get pummeled by us. Look at their Depth Chart:
http://connecticut.rivals.com/cdepthtext.asp
8 freshmen/sophomores on Offense - Zero seniors
7 freshment/sophomores on Defense - Zero seniors - All Freshman DBs...
[mod edit: these numbers appear to be outdated (by a year) but even if they're sophomores it's better than a team of seniors... right? riiiiiight?]

That's what I thought. They probably have less experience than Michigan.
Their defense is tiny too.
August 25th, 2010 at 9:34 PM ^
I hope the lack of experience coupled with RR's record against UConn with WVU results in a very confident win on Sept. 4th GO BLUE
August 25th, 2010 at 9:40 PM ^
You better eat those words or else I'll be pissed at you around 7pm on September 4th.
August 25th, 2010 at 10:48 PM ^
I'd hope that you don't want him to eat his words.
August 25th, 2010 at 9:41 PM ^
What's all the hype about?
August 25th, 2010 at 9:45 PM ^
All of the years/classes are from last season. Don't overlook them.

you're wrong. the link i provided was updated 2 weeks ago. its accurate. dont overlook them, but, they're young and have no seniors starting for them.
August 25th, 2010 at 10:09 PM ^
Look up any of the players on the roster on google and you'll see that the link you provided has them a year behind their actual year
August 25th, 2010 at 10:43 PM ^
Just because the depth chart is "updated" doesn't mean the information that surrounds it is correct. This isn't breaking news, so you could have easily double checked the information before you posted. No reason to get all pissy at me because I pointed out that your post may be a little less than true.

Something is screwed up with their site.
Switch the offense from 3-WR to Power-I and you'll see two Seniors starting at both tackle spots, and several other changes.
They're far more experienced than the first glance shows.

August 25th, 2010 at 9:51 PM ^
Defense: 6 Freshman/Sophomores, 3 Seniors
Their defensive experience is eerily similar to ours at position-wise
August 25th, 2010 at 10:26 PM ^
I know star ratings are overrated and there are many other factors that go into the quality of a college football player...but 9 of their 11 starters on offense were 2 star prospects according to rivals. Hopefully that means they don't have the raw athletic ability to take advantage of our weaknesses on defense.

Found a decent blog about today's UConn practice (their last open practice), gives good insight into the competition at many positions:

that rivals depth chart is worthless
August 25th, 2010 at 10:54 PM ^
Their front 7 on defense isn't nearly as small as the Rivals numbers indicate.
Player (Rivals weight/UConn site weight)
DE Joseph (238/255)
DE Campbell (232/232)
DT Reyes (286/298)
DT Martin (265/292)
LB Johnson (210/227)
LB Wilson (221/226)
LB Lutrus (241/245)
August 25th, 2010 at 10:58 PM ^
Campbell's out.
August 25th, 2010 at 11:04 PM ^
Team sites never exaggerate.
August 26th, 2010 at 7:41 PM ^
for the sarcasm everyone missed.
August 25th, 2010 at 10:56 PM ^
Also: They've never played Mother Effing Michigan. Bring them the F**K ON!

your views intrigue me, I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Shoemate. He's no slouch. Rated by Rivals higher than any backs we have. Probably will just mean that his bones taste better to Mike Martin.
August 25th, 2010 at 11:32 PM ^
i do not see a Shoemate. What roster are you looking at?
August 25th, 2010 at 11:43 PM ^
He transferred from USC a couple months ago.. Due to their NCAA sanctions he was free to transfer without giving up a year. He was kind of buries in USC's depth chart and I expect him to be a backup for our game.
August 25th, 2010 at 11:52 PM ^
What a buzzkill that update was... would've been interesting to see us go against a secondary of freshmen.
August 26th, 2010 at 8:04 AM ^
C'mon, ladies! Get your stuff together. Seriously, every year we play a full slate of Big 10 games, play them hard, and, recent history excepted, usually win, and we're supposed to get our crap in a twist over these athletics trainers assistants' little sisters we're playing here?
Throw on a fresh pair of panties and shut your whiny hole. They ain't got a prayer.
