The ground game has been similarly terrible, ranking 118th in rushing success rate. The pass protection actually hasn't been terrible, but the receivers have done nothing to help whoever is under center, as the unit has graded at dead last in the nation according to PFF. Steven Krajewski is the starter and has been the most efficient of the three, but take that with a grain of salt, considering he ranks 138th in PFF passing grade and 132nd in yards per attempt among 148 qualifying quarterbacks. There have been three quarterbacks to throw at least 50 passes for the Huskies this season, with two of the three averaging less than five yards per attempt. On the season, this offense has posted two shutouts and zero games with 30 points or more, with a ranking of dead last in success rate. UConn Huskies Nothing Going Right for UConn Overall, this team is being outscored by more than 24 points per game on average against FBS opponents and ranks in the bottom ten in both points per game and points allowed per game.Ĭlemson coach Dabo Swinney has always been known for pulling his starters early and taking it easy on overmatched opponents, but will he use this game as an opportunity to build morale for an offense that desperately needs it? That actually brought UConn's record to 1-1 versus FCS opponents, after it lost 38-28 to Holy Cross earlier in the season. The Huskies have struggled to a 1-8 record, with the only win coming in a tight game against Yale. The offense has fallen off a cliff after pieces such as Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne went off to the NFL, and Clemson now sits at 6-3 with a 5-2 record in conference play.Ĭlemson could absolutely use a blowout win to build some more confidence, and Connecticut definitely provides an opportunity for that. The Tigers had been used to steamrolling through the ACC on the road to the College Football Playoff in every season since 2015, but that hasn't been anywhere close to the case this year. It would be an understatement to say that the 2021 season has been a disappointment for Clemson.
