2023 Pass/Rush Projections
Connette completed 5-of-11 passing for 51 yards and a touchdown and carried five times for an additional 29 yards Saturday as Fresno State downed Southern Utah 56-16 at home.
ANALYSIS
Connette replaced starting quarterback Brian Burrell early in the second quarter of Saturday's game, this after the latter failed to lead Fresno State's offense to a score in the first, and instantly provided a spark, scoring the Bulldogs' first points of the game on a 10-yard pass to wideout Josh Harper. Despite the quick start, Connette yielded control of Fresno State's offense back to Burrell latter in the second, and watched as the veteran finished the night 13-of-20 passing for 145 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.

2014 Fantasy Outlook
Connette is wild card. He transferred to Fresno State from Duke this offseason, and now he might replace Derek Carr in Fresno's high-tempo spread offense. If Connette can hold off Brian Burrell for the starting job, he should possess top-10 upside. He was hugely productive as a part-time player for Duke last year, showing big upside as a runner by totaling 337 yards and 14 touchdowns on 101 carries. He also threw for 1,212 yards (8.4 YPA), 13 touchdowns and six interceptions. Connette could have a Collin Klein-like impact because he'd be the team's best goal-line runner in an offense that plays in constant hurry-up.
