Video: Dropped Balls Shouldn’t Be Issue For UConn Huskies Football Going Forward

There were a few critical drops of the football off of passes by UConn Huskies QB Bryant Shirreffs in the loss to Navy last week.

Now if you asked the UConn Huskies quarterback, he would tell you that he could have thrown a better ball. I’ll agree with him on a few of those dropped passes but not all of them.

Noel Thomas had a drop off of a pass on a flea-flicker that he would normally catch 9.9 out of 10 times. Thomas Lucas had a huge drop on a first down where he was wide open going across the field.

These drops can’t happen if the UConn Huskies want to take things to the next level. It’s the little things not the big things that make a team better. And this little thing happens to be an issue right now, not a big one. But you don’t want it to get to there.

And I wouldn’t expect many if any drops from the UConn Huskies wide receivers and pass targets. They spent a lot of time this week on the JUGS machine catching passes.

Watch and/or listen below as UConn Huskies head coach Bob Diaco as well as Thomas talk about the dropped passes.
