BIG East Conference - Connecticut Huskies Preview
The Connecticut Huskies, under the guidance of Head Coach Randy Edsall, won their first ever Bowl in 2004. In 2005 however, injuries on both offense and defense were a major factor in the Huskies not going Bowling this year or be a major player in the new Big East. With 14 starters coming back this year with and a lot of talent on both offense and defense, the Huskies hope the 2006 season will be different. The must find consistency from their quarterback and he must stay healthy. Running back Terry Caulley returns from sitting out the 2005 season with an injury and he has a tough front wall opening up holes for him. The lack of consistency at the QB position had a negative impact on the wide receiving unit which did not complete many receptions last year.

The defense is experienced and talented, and will have 6 veterans up front and 9 who had a lot of minutes in the secondary due to injuries last year. The defense should be strong coming into the season and the offense will catch up soon. If the Connecticut Huskies can stay healthy they will definitely be competitive in the Big East.
