After four years of riding the pine for the Connecticut Huskies, the once highly-touted quarterback looked like a disappointment.

Standing across from the Huskies (8-4) will be the Oklahoma Sooners (11-2), one of the premiere teams in college football. While the odds are certainly stacked against UConn, don’t be surprised if Frazer helps keep his team close. After all, he’s overcome long odds before.
