Guru's Final Thoughts:
This is the third time in NCAA history a team has gone into the season unranked and won the National Title that same year. (1983 Miami and 1984 BYU are the others).
Not a huge surprise to see Johnson and Shirreffs' rushing numbers drop when Marriner gets the ball 430 times. I think Johnson has the early edge to be the starter next year, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the move to McNeal, a similar runner to Marriner except about 5" taller.
Our receivers have too many YAC. That's not a bad thing.
Really surprised to see Carrezola as our #2 tackler, despite hitting the pine when we went to our nickel and quarter packages against teams like Houston and UCF. I am likely going to slide an outside 'backer into the middle next year to replace Junior, so if it's Carrezola, look for those stats to rise --- big time.
Quintin Harrell is a manimal. I am infatuated by versatility...this guy has it. Too bad I only had him 2 years.
I need to find new ways to use Arkeel Newsome.
Sammie Leonard is a name to watch next year. Limited PT, yet was still our #12 tackler, ahead of starters like T.J. Newell. Dude's fast, got a nose for the ball and, like Harrell, can be moved up to safety or down to end.
Congrats to UConn's Hall of Fame Inductees, Class of 2017-18
RB Josh Marriner
DE Cam Stapleton
CB Jamar Summers
Honorable Acceptant: LB Junior Joseph
I allowed Joseph in as an extra because this year's senior class was so deep, Joseph was the first man out. But he was our leading tackler the past 2 seasons, starter the last 3 1/2. Done so much for the team as captain and stud, I really can't leave him out.
Records and opening post information will be updated tonight. Table of contents with game index for all 4 seasons coming within the next 48 hours.
Offseason next folks. Season 5 starting soon!
