University of Connecticut transfer Jack Zergiotis is continuing his college football career in New England, though the Huskies won’t be involved. Zergiotis, the Huskies’ most recent opening day quarterback, has joined up with Football Championship Subdivision school Merrimack College of the Northeast Conference (NEC).
The Crusaders took control from the opening kick and secured a two-score lead by the fourth quarter. After flopping in the Week 0 opener at Fresno State, UConn football flopped even harder in its home opener Saturday, losing to FCS school Holy Cross at Rentschler Field, 38-28.
What have we learned after the Huskies’ first live game in nearly two years? UConn football did not look very good in its season opener at Fresno State, losing 45-0.
It was a sub-optimal outing for the Huskies, to say the least. After a competitive first quarter, horrific pass coverage, uninspiring quarterback play, and a porous offensive line all reared their ugly heads once again for UConn football.
Every year there are teams that are trying to build something special but are starting at the bottom. Heck, some of these programs are adapting to having an FBS program, while some are just wallowing in the basement of power conferences. Some watched their 2020 season literally waste away as circumstances have them out here flailing away.
