The teams, by the numbers

THREE UCONN HUSKIES TO WATCH

Steven Krajewski, QB: After only playing four games in 2019, Steven Krajewski took the reins of the Huskies’ offense. He’s thrown for 938 yards and six touchdowns with seven interceptions while totaling a third-best 99 rushing yards to go along with two more TDs.

Keelan Marion, WR: Only a freshman, Keelan Marion leads the Huskies with five touchdown grabs on the year and is averaging 46.67 reception yards per game.

Ian Swenson, LB: Despite the 44-13 loss to Middle Tennessee over the weekend, Ian Swenson had a career-high 13 tackles to bring his total to 47 on the year, the fourth-best on the team.

THREE CLEMSON TIGERS TO WATCH

Beaux Collins, WR: With Joseph Ngata out, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney announced Beaux Collins as a starter. He got his first start against Louisville and recorded his first collegiate 100-yard receiving game, finishing with 104 yards and a touchdown.

Trenton Simpson, LB: Continuing to elevate his game, Trenton Simpson put together his best statistical performance against Louisville with a team-high 11 tackles with two quarterback sacks. He’s the fourth-leading tackler behind sixth-year seniors James Skalski, Baylon Spector and Nolan Turner with 38 stops, 5 ½ of which were behind the line of scrimmage.

D.J. Uiagalelei, QB: Swinney believes D.J. Uiagalelei has weathered the storm and is on the other side of it, which was evident against Louisville. While not a perfect performance, it was his best as the signal caller battled through a sprained PCL to total a season-high 220 passing yards, accounting for three total touchdowns without a turnover.
