Syracuse football is facing its first road test of the season at Connecticut on Saturday. Here is what you need to know about the Huskies to prepare for the game.1. Significant InjuryIn a season opening lo s at Utah State, UConn's starting quarterback Ta'Quan Roberson suffered an injury that Willie Cauley-Stein Jersey will keep him out the remainder of the 2022 season. Roberson is a transfer from Penn State and a former four star recruit. He is an athletic dual threat quarterback and had the Huskies up 7-0 while driving to push to a two score lead before the injury. His replacement, freshman Zion Turner, went 12-31 with two interceptions in relief. The next week, Turner was better going 14-22 for 172 yards, two touchdowns and one pick. He is not nearly the runner that Roberson is and has accuracy i sues at times while also being turnover prone.2. Run, Run, RunThe strength of UConn's offense is its rushing attack led by Rochester (NY) native Nathan Carter. Through two games, Carter has racked Courtney Lee Jersey up 313 yards and is averaging 7.3 yards per carry. The 5-9, 199 pounder has excellent vision and great footwork. Syracuse's defensive game plan should be focused on limiting his productivity. He has eclipsed 120 yards in each of the first two games, including rushing for 190 on just 20 carries against Utah State. As a team, UConn is averaging nearly 260 rushing yards per game.3. Run DefenseThe UConn run defense has been porous through two games. FCS Central Connecticut State ran for 78 yards averaging 3.5 yards per carry. Three sacks for Devonte Patterson Jersey 16 yards are included in those figures, meaning CCSU averaged nearly five yards per carry on running plays. This after Utah State ran for 261 yards in the opener. Syracuse should have succe s running the ball against the Huskies.Scroll to Continue4. Special TeamsUConn has a solid special teams unit, led by kicker Noe Ruelas. Ruelas is 2-3 on field goals so far this season, with a long of 54. He has a big leg and has been accurate thus far. Punter George Caratan has been solid as well, averaging 43 yards per punt with four inside Boban Marjanovic Jersey the 20. UConn's kick and punt coverage units have also been above average to date.5. First Big Home GameUConn went through a coaching change in the offseason. Jim Mora Jr. is the new leader of the football program and this is the first big home game under his direction. As it is also a night game and a historic Maxi Kleber Jersey rival (albeit in another sport), this could mean UConn fills or nearly fills its stadium. Syracuse is still the significantly better team, but this should mean the Huskies play with great energy and enthusiasm to start the game.SUPPORT ALL SYRACUSE
