RISE UP.

TOGETHER.

“With love, anything is possible. Our organization is a process. We’re going to have a drill down focus and we’re going to be on a mission. We’re going to understand things we treasure. We’re going to consistently apply the appropriate pressure every single day. And that’s how we’re going to become a champion.”

“When I walk across the stripe and onto the field there is only one particular speed and energy. I bring the full scope of all my talents, energy and passion into that arena. I believe I was brought onto the earth to teach young men how to be men in football.”

2014 UCONN FOOTBALL10

T he University of Connecticut football team

enjoys the finest on-campus football facilities in the country – thanks in large part to the building of The Burton Family Football Complex.

The Burton Family Football Complex serves as the on-campus home of UConn football and complements Rentschler Field in East Hartford. The lead gift for the facility was a $2.5 million contribu-tion by Robert G. Burton. Burton’s tremendously successful busi-ness career has included leadership in the printing and publishing industry, and his current role as Chairman and CEO of Cenveo, the third-largest publicly traded printing company in the world, which is headquartered in Stamford, Conn.

Burton’s son, Michael, was the captain of the 1999 Husky football team. Burton has also donated in excess of $1 million to establish two endowed scholarships for UConn student-athletes.

Construction on the facility began in the fall of 2004 and the building opened in the summer of 2006.

The Burton Football Family Complex houses coaches’ offices and includes an academic resource center, team meeting rooms, a team locker room, a state-of-the-art sports medicine area, video facilities, a team dining hall, a student-athlete lounge and an equipment room.

The Burton Family Football Complex is the University’s first project certified as meeting the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards for “green” buildings. LEED designation is a process certifying that a building project meets a wide range of environmentally friendly criteria. This new construction marks the first col-lege or university athletic project in the nation to earn the designation. The UConn Division of Athletics received an Environmental Leadership Award from the University of Connecticut for the work performed at The Burton Family Football Complex.

The UConn Division of Athletics received an Environmental Leadership Award from the University of Connecticut for the work performed at the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center.

A resident of Greenwich, Connecticut, Shenkman gradu-ated from the Wilbraham & Monson Academy in Wilbraham, Mass. He received a bachelor’s degree in political science from UConn in 1965 followed by a master’s degree in business administration from The George Washington University. Shenkman is the founder and president of Shenkman Capital Management, Inc., a registered investment advisor with offic-es in New York City and Stamford, Connecticut.

Shenkman was elected to the UConn School of Business Hall of Fame in 2002 and has endowed a classroom and the e-Commerce Chair for the business school.


The American Athletic Conference

N ot entirely unlike the nation that provides its namesake, the

American Athletic Conference was born from an ideal in which members with ambitious goals are provided with the means to suc-ceed in their quests for excellence.

With roots that extend to three conferences, the American Athletic Conference membership in 2014-15 consists of 11 insti-tutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, East Carolina University, the University of Connecticut, the University of Houston, the University of Memphis, the University of South Florida, Southern Methodist University, Temple University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa.

The 2015-16 season sees the U.S. Naval Academy join the ranks in football only.

Under the leadership of commissioner Mike Aresco, The American, which operated as the Big East Conference from 1979 to 2013, has immediately taken a place at the forefront of Division I athletics, with schools that have played in four Bowl Championship Series games, won four NCAA men’s basketball titles since 1999, and won nine NCAA women’s basketball championships since 1995.

Two American Athletic Conference football teams were ranked in the top 15 of the final 2013 Associated Press poll. Five were selected for bowl games, including UCF, which won the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and finished the season ranked No. 10 nationally. The conference produced 14 players who received All-America recogni-tion by a major outlet.

The American had four players chosen in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, trailing only the SEC and the ACC among FBS conferences. A total of 12 American Athletic Conference players were chosen.

The success of The American in Year 1 was not limited to the gridiron. UConn won NCAA titles in both men’s and women’s bas-ketball. The conference had the best postseason winning percentage of any league in men’s basketball, while The American produced top-10 teams in baseball, men’s soccer and men’s golf and sent half of its participating teams to the NCAA Softball Championship.

The American Athletic Conference holds television partner-ships with ESPN and CBS Sports which will give the conference unprecedented national exposure. The football portion of the con-tract, which begins in the 2014 season, calls for nearly 90 percent of conference-controlled games on national broadcast or national cable platforms. The first American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which will be played in 2015, will be carried either on ABC or ESPN on Championship Saturday.

In men’s basketball, the television deal calls for all conference-controlled games to be televised, with more than 63 percent slotted for national broadcast or national cable – a minimum of 107 games. The entire postseason tournament will be televised, including the championship game, which will be either on ABC or ESPN. Sixty percent of the American’s women’s basketball games will be carried on either national cable, regional sports networks or ESPN3.

American Athletic Conference teams will have access to the pinnacle of college football’s postseason structure. An American representative would be chosen for the College Football Playoff semifinals if it is among the top four teams following the regular season. Otherwise, the league would place its champion in either the Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl or Peach Bowl if it is ranked higher than the champions of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference.

#AmericanRising

Additionally, The American has announced primary or second-ary partnerships with 12 bowls for the next six-year cycle, ensuring multiple annual matchups against the nation’s top conferences and providing desirable postseason destinations to member institutions and their fans.

The American Athletic Conference administers to its member-ship from a state-of-the-art office located in Providence, R.I. The location of the conference headquarters – just steps from the city’s Amtrak station and 10 minutes from T.F. Green International Airport – gives the conference easy access to its member schools.

The conference headquarters is equipped with a complete video production studio, serving as the home of the American Digital Network, and small- and large-scale meeting rooms to accommo-date the many coaches’ and administrators’ meetings held on-site each year.

T he Counseling Program for Intercollegiate Athletes, a unit

within the Division of Athletics, is the academic support program for The University of Connecticut’s 700 student-athletes. The primary goal of the program is to assist student-athletes in reach-ing their educational goals while they compete in intercollegiate athletics.

CPIA counselors function as liaisons between the athletic and academic communities. Our counselors work closely with coaches, faculty and a variety of campus resources in order to help facilitate students’ successful transition into college life by insti-tuting academic support programs, including but not limited to Counseling, Pre-Advising, Tutorial, Life Skills Programs and Career Development.

The CPIA facilities for football student-athletes are housed in modern facilities in The Burton Family Football Complex and the Herb and Marcia Dunn Academic Support Center. The location inside The Burton Family Football Complex ensures maximum use of a student-athlete’s time as they perform a number of football related activities and perform academic work under the same roof.

TUTORING PROGRAMAt the beginning of each semester, student-athletes request and

are assigned tutors based on their individual needs. Tutoring is done on an individual basis or in small groups so that each student-athlete can receive the best help available. Our tutorial staff consists of well-trained graduate and undergraduate students who have dem-onstrated high levels of proficiency in their respective subject areas.

STUDY HALLAll freshmen and transfer students as well as some upperclass-

men are required to attend study hall ten hours a week. Study hall is an interactive environment where students meet with their tutors and work on their assignments in their respective courses.

LIFE SKILLSUConn football student-athletes can enroll in two Life Skills

courses during their freshmen and junior year. The Freshmen Life Skills course is designed to provide the information, knowledge and confidence, which will enable the student-athlete to feel secure in a new environment and promote a successful transition from high school to college.

The course helps develop a set of adaptive, coping, critical thinking and problem solving skills. It also acquaints the student-athlete with the resources that are available to balance the myriad of

19UconnHUskies.com

academic and athletic demands and adjust to college life.The primary goal of the Life Skills for Junior Student-Athletes

Course is to provide information, techniques and strategies that will help students feel confident while making decisions about their future, post-collegiate lives. The focus of the class is to help students make a successful transition from college to the working world.

LEARNING DISABILITY SERVICESIf a student-athlete enrolls at the University of Connecticut and

has a diagnosed learning disability, our Learning Coordinator works with that particular student-athlete, the Learning Disability office and Disability Services to provide the student with the best support possible. Our Learning Coordinator will also identify, develop, implement, and evaluate educational learning programs and activi-ties for select student-athletes.

FRESHMAN SUMMER PROGRAMThe Freshman Student-Athlete Summer Program

began in the summer of 2006. The main goal was to acclimate the students to the University of Connecticut over a seven-week process and allow them to enroll in six credits of coursework which would introduce them to the collegiate academic setting as well as prepare them for their freshman year. The program introduces students to the rig-ors of university life, helps them develop the discipline and skills required to succeed academically, and provide ori-entation to the general campus community and facilities.

This story appeared on UConnHuskies.com during the summer of 2014.

A nother phase of the development of the University of

Connecticut football team began on June 2 when current players returned to Storrs for classes and to begin its summer strength and conditioning program.

The NCAA allows football student-athletes to have eight hours of football-related activities at this time of year and first-year head coach Bob Diaco has decided he wants all of them dedicated to strength and conditioning.

Matt Balis is UConn’s new Strength and Conditioning Coordinator and brings great experience after serving in the same position at Virginia and Mississippi State.

Upon entering a workout at the strength and conditioning facility at the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center, the atmosphere suggests excitement, enthusiasm and togetherness among the Huskies with Balis in charge of player workouts four days a week. It’s exactly the type of atmosphere he wants to provide.

“With Coach Diaco, everyone is flying around, everyone is moving,” said Balis about the workout environment. “It’s the same thing in the weight room -- we try to treat it like a practice. We only have a short time to get it done, so we have to be organized and efficient.”

Players echoed the same sentiment, believing Balis’ methods to be necessary in player development not only in a physical aspect, but also in creating a new mental philosophy.

“Fun, excitement, and attacking,” is the way senior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) described the strength and conditioning workouts. “We have an attacking mentality. We can’t go in there lazy. Coach Balis always has the mentality that we’re not here to just get through the day, we’re here to attack each lift. That’s what he’s instilled in each player.”

Balis and Diaco worked together at Virginia in 2007 and ‘08 when Diaco was the linebacker and special teams coach.

“We were great friends and we were on the same page with everything. When he asked me to come to UConn, it was a great opportunity back with a great friend,” said Balis.

Balis has been very pleased with the “blue-collar work ethic” that the players have exhibited during summer workouts thus far.

With almost three months still separating the Huskies and their opener vs. BYU on August 29, it is important that coaches and play-ers alike stay focused on getting better day by day.

“We’re getting ready to play football games, so our condition-ing, our capacity and our diverse energy systems all have to be as trained up as possible,” said Balis. “We feel in order to be a great player for four quarters and beyond, you must have a great condi-tioning base. Those things must be addressed and then the mental aspect of the attacking and grinding of the workouts will make us

Strength & Conditioning

25UconnHUskies.com

mentally tougher.”Diaco said he was impressed with the shape that players were

in upon returning to team workouts and training sessions in early June. Players were responsible for maintaining good physical and mental health while away from team events.

“I think everybody understood how much work we put in throughout the winter and there’s no point in going home, sitting on your butt and doing nothing and wasting that effort,” said red-shirt senior cornerback Byron Jones (New Britain, Conn.). “You want to go home and keep that intensity up.”

Now that all players, except for incoming freshmen, are back on campus, their weekly schedules once again become very demand-ing. Players have lifting sessions four times a week, with only

Wednesday off, and also have two morning runs a week. The length of lift-ing depends on whether or not a morning work-out was held.

“There are different segments of the summer where we have time off, but they’ll be training up until the opening game,” said Balis.

At this point in the year, keeping everyone healthy is the biggest priority for Balis during these workouts. Though completely preventing injury is impossible, the strength and condition-

ing coach for the Huskies has found ways to combat the likelihood of a problem.

“Balance training is number one. For every push we do, we pull, and for every pull, we push,” said Balis. “The more trained and conditioned you are, the more you can prevent injury. We attack the training because we want to go as hard as we can now so our bodies don’t fail us later.”

One of the more unusual looking machines, yet one of the most important in the weight room, is the “neck machine”. Players sit and put their heads against a padded area, stretching their bodies in such a way to strengthen the base of their necks. The reason for this exercise is very applicable to issues surrounding football today.

“It’s important to have a strong neck because you hear a lot about concussions and a lot of times they can be prevented or at least minimized with a stronger base,” said Jones. “If you take care of your neck, then your head won’t swing and hit the ground hard, so it’s about taking care of yourself.”

Balis added: “The research out there through strength and con-ditioning suggests the best thing we can do is increase the base size of the neck... if you can dissipate some force upon impact, then we feel we’re getting our job done as best we can.”

With loud music playing and intensity from Balis, it is easy for players to get the most out of each workout. Throughout the train-ing session, players yell to encourage each other and compete against one another to bring out their best performance.

“There could be a game situation where someone just messed up and you have to pick that person up,” said Davis, who had 1,085 receiving yards last season. “It’s the same thing with the weights. If you see the weights defeating them, you have to help them push through it. Everything we do in here is tied to how we play on the football field.”


T he University of Connecticut Division of Athletics believes

that the responsibilities of student-athletes reach beyond classrooms, libraries, fields and courts.

Community service is an integral part of the UConn experience as Husky student-athletes contribute countless hours each year to a number of worthy causes.

UConn football players perform numerous hours of commu-nity service throughout the year by visiting children at local schools, hospitals and other activities. The UConn football team makes several visits a year to the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford. UConn football student-athletes make frequent visits to schools to provide inspiration both in academics and athletics.

The UConn Division of Athletics and its community service program “Husky Reach” concluded its sixth year of its reading initiative in the winter of 2013-14 with the Verplanck Elementary

School in Manchester, Conn.Through a generous donation by the SBM Foundation,

UConn student-athletes visit Verplanck to participate in a variety of activities aimed at teaching the value of education, sportsmanship, integrity and teamwork. UConn’s continuing outreach partnership with Verplanck has served to motivate many of these boys and girls to read more books and appreciate the importance of learning.

The “Husky Reach” program is committed to building a “cul-ture of hope” among these young students that they can someday attend college. Once again this year, through an initiative called the “Reading Millionaires Challenge”, the students read a combined one-million minutes of books – and for reaching this goal, they earned the trip to the UConn campus.

Community Service

The SBM Charitable Foundation was established in 2000 by Connecticut Bancshares, the parent company of the former Savings Bank of Manchester. The SBM Charitable Foundation, Inc., is committed to bettering the lives of those who live and work pre-dominately in Hartford, Windham and Tolland counties.

Other community service by UConn student-athletes is coordi-nated through the Student-Athlete Advisory Council. The Council consists of representatives from each one of UConn’s intercollegiate athletic teams and in addition to community service, it promotes fellowship and camaraderie between student-athletes from different sports.

The SAAC had another successful year in 2012-13 as it held various “drives” at UConn athletic events that collect gently-used coats and books, canned goods and other food items that are then distributed to worthy charities. One of these drives annually takes place at a late fall football game, where gently-used coats and other winter wear are collected.


T he Department of Sports Medicine in the University of

Connecticut Division of Athletics works as an integrated multidisci-plinary team whose purpose is to provide the optimal, safe environ-ment for the football student-athletes to train and participate in their sport.

The staff takes great pride in the individual attention paid to each student-athlete. They are devoted to preventing injury, rapidly diagnosing and treating injury and maximizing athletic performance. The disciplines of athletic training, strength and con-ditioning, sports medicine, orthopedic sports medicine, optometry, nutrition, exercise physiology and psychology work in concert to provide comprehensive care.

The team is spearheaded by Assistant Director of Athletics/Athletic Training Bob Howard, MA, ATC. In the football program, Howard is assisted by Anthony Salvatore, MS, ATC, and Janelle Francisco, MS, ATC, and graduate assistants Joseph Olivadoti, ATC, and McLain Whitney, ATC.

Physician coverage is provided by Team Physician Dr. Giselle Aerni. The Orthopedic Sports Medicine Specialists for the team include: Dr. Michael Joyce of the Orthopedic Sports Specialists in Glastonbury; Dr. Robert Arciero, Dr. Thomas DeBerardino, and Dr. Augustus Mazzocca of the New England Musculoskeletal Institute at the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington.

The Department of Sports Medicine works closely with the Departments of Kinesiology and Nutritional Sciences on the University of Connecticut campus. This affords the student-athletes with the input of several nationally recognized exercise scientists. This cooperation also keeps the sports medicine staff at the cut-ting edge of developments in the fields of human performance and sports nutri tion. Members of the sports medicine staff are actively engaged in research that directly benefits the care of the football student-athletes.

UConn football student-athletes enjoy state-of-the-art medi-cal facilities at Rentschler Field and at The Burton Family Football Complex within the Marziali Family Training Room. The Department of Sports Medicine has incorporated the SwimEX technology to develop a 2,300 square-foot hydrotherapy room for reha bilitation and conditioning at The Burton Family Football Complex. As with Rentschler Field, the new sports medicine facility on campus includes onsite X-ray equipment.

In addition to providing the finest in medi cal care for the UConn football program, the Department of Sports Medicine at the University of Connecticut administers to the daily needs of 650 male and female intercollegiate student-athletes, who are in 24 dif-ferent varsity programs.

The Department of Sports Medicine at the University of Connecticut plays a critical role in assuring that all UConn student-athletes have access to the best medical support and health care pos-sible. Through patient care and ongoing research and education, the department continues to provide Husky teams a competitive edge from the medical perspective.

Sports NutritionNutrition is a key part of the plan for success of the UConn

football program and is a priority under head coach Bob Diaco. Since Diaco arrived at UConn, he has completely analyzed the nutrition program for football student-athletes, working hand-in-hand with the university’s sports nutritionist Dr. Nancy Rodriguez. Menus have been designed in order for players to have the proper body composition through a series of blood screenings of the play-ers to determine any potential vitamin or iron deficiencies that may have taken place.

The comprehensive sports nutrition program is under the direction of Dr. Nancy Rodriguez. Dr. Rodriguez and members of the sport nutrition team provide information regarding nutri-tion and performance to the UConn football team on a year-round basis and develop nutrition education materials.

The Burton Family Football Complex features a full-service kitchen and dining hall for student-athletes.

Dr. Rodriguez works closely with the dining services staff of the Burton Family Football Complex, led by chef Bob Zannoni, to implement perfor-mance-based menu options and to set up the training. Menu recommendations have been developed for the team dur-ing road trips and performance nutrition directives are in place for competitive performance and optimal recovery.

The sports nutrition team meets with freshman upon their arrival to cam-pus in the summer. There is a discussion on the primary considerations for nutri-tion and performance and then a fol-

lowup with individual athletes for nutrition workups and individual recommendations.

Dr. Rodriguez and her staff attend training tables weekly through the season to discuss nutrition issues with the team and provide quality assurance regarding meals. There is also constant communication with personnel in the area of sports medicine, ath-letic training and strength and conditioning.

Evaluations of and recommendations for nutritional supple-ments are also provided.

Practical and everyday issues and concerns are also dealt with, such as how to make choices in campus dining halls, on road trips and in restaurants. They also provide grocery lists and quick meal and snack options for the players.

Chef Bob Zannoni and his staff ensure that UConn football players have healthy and delicious meals at The Burton Family Football Complex.

UConn Sports Nutritionist Dr. Nancy Rodriguez works with the UConn football team to design a diet that helps ensure maxi-mum performance.


UConn Football Alumni

A s University of Connecticut football continues to progress as a

NCAA FBS team, the roots of the program have not gone forgotten. In fact, UConn football alumni are more active and involved in the program than ever. UConn head coach Bob Diaco and his entire staff embrace all former Husky players to continue to be a member of the family.

Andy Baylock, a former UConn assistant football coach and longtime Husky baseball head coach, is the Director of Alumni and Community Affairs for the football team. All former UConn foot-ball alumni who are interested in re-connecting with the program are invited to Baylock at 860-486-2458.

Former UConn head coaches and alumni have served as honor-ary coaches for the Blue-White Spring Game in the past.

In May of 2012, a reunion was held of all former Husky players in the former home of UConn football – Memorial Stadium. The stadium was demolished in the spring of 2013 to make way for the UConn Basketball Champions Center.

In an effort to help members of UConn’s football team enhance their prospects for employment following college, the UConn foot-ball program sponsors a Career Information Fair multiple times a year. These events feature many UConn football alumni from a wide range of professions and geographical areas. Working with

these former UConn football players allow students to gain expo-sure to a wide variety of career opportunities that may interest them.

Former UConn football players also guide current student-athletes through the networking process by putting them in contact with other professionals who may provide them with shadowing, internships and full-time employment opportunities.

Former Husky Mark Landolfi, now a member of the United States Secret Service, talks to Jordan Todman and Mike Smith at a Career Information Fair.

The 2011 Blue-White Spring Football game saw Sean Mulcahy, Matt DeGennaro, Mike Rembish and Uyi Osunde come back as honorary captains.

The UConn Football alumni family gathered for one last “team shot” at an event in May 2012.

Former UConn football player and current Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz was presented with the Distinguished Alumnus

Award from the Neag School of Education at UConn in 2009. He was joined by Special Adviser to Athletics Dee Rowe and

Andy Baylock at the event.

Former Husky standout Ted Walton greets his head coach Larry Navieux at the alumni reunion.

A group of UConn football alumni made a presentation of the current Husky team in the winter of 2014 – Kashif Moore, Brian Usher, Matt Nuzie, Uyi Osunde and Ryan Grffin. Third from left is Dave Szott, who played in the NFL for 14 years after graduating from Penn State and is now the Director of Player Development for the New York Jets.

UConn Football And Walk-OnsW

ith the limited number of scholarships each NCAA member is allowed and the highly competitive nature of high school recruiting around the country, the UConn coaching staff knows it can take no member of the team for granted. Head coach Bob Diaco highly values walk-ons and the role they can play on the team.

Joining the UConn team as a walk-on does not guarantee any-thing but hard work and having the expectation placed upon you as a scholarship student-athlete.

Playing time and the chance to earn a scholarship are not guaran-teed – but can happen. Prior to this season, Diaco awarded walk-ons Chris DeBerry, Dominick Manco and Justin Wain a scholarship.

Punter Cole Wagner, who graduated last year, joined the team as a walk-on prior to the 2009 season. He became the Husky starter in 2010, earned a scholarship for 2011 and wound up an All-BIG EAST pick for the season. He was UConn’s starting punter again in 2013 and graduated among the tops at his position in the Husky record books.

Tight end Spencer Parker was a walk-on, who earned letters in 2013 and ’14. He took a curious route to UConn as the Newington, Conn., native first played volleyball as an all-conference pick at Lasell College in Massachusetts. He then transferred to UConn and resumed his football career and played 20 games over two years and made a touchdown catch against Michigan.

Quarterback Johnny McEntee joined the team as a walk-on in 2008 and saw playing time in just two games from 2009-10. In 2011, the walk-on earned the starting QB spot for the Huskies for all 13 games and also played during the 2012 season.

Fullback Mark Hinkley played four years at UConn from 2008-11. He only saw action in one game during those three years, but wound up being the Huskies starting fullback in 2012.

In 2011, Derek Chard was an invaluable member of the Husky squad serving as the team’s deep snapper. UConn converted all of its extra points attempts and 23 of 29 field goals starting with a Chard

snap. Originally a walk-on, Chard earned a scholarship for his final two years at UConn.

On a national level, perhaps the finest example of a walk-on making good in 2007 occurred at UConn with Donald Thomas of West Haven, Conn. Thomas barely played football in high school but walked onto the team as a sophomore. Thomas developed into a starter at offensive guard and earned All-BIG EAST honors in 2007. Capping a remarkable story, Thomas was drafted by the Miami Dolphins following his senior year and, after playing for the New England Patriots, is now a member of the Indianapolis Colts.

Marcus Easley originally joined the Huskies as a walk-on in 2006 and then had a break-out senior season in 2009, where he made 48 receptions for eight touchdowns. He was then picked in the fourth round of the NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. Other walk-on success stories include: • Chris Pavasaris joined the team in 2003 and emerged as the start-

ing punter for the Huskies and earned a scholarship. In 2006, he produced one of the top punting seasons in school history with a 40.1 yard average. An outstanding student, Pavasaris was a candi-date for the Rhodes and Marshall Scholarships and earned CoSIDA Academic All-District recognition.

• Brian Sparks was a three-year walk-on member of the Huskies and was rewarded with a scholarship before his senior season of 2004. He closed out his career in fine form with a touchdown reception in UConn’s Motor City Bowl win over Toledo.

• Shaun Feldeisen – a captain for the 2003 Huskies, decided to come to UConn without a scholarship. Feldeisen’s chance to play came during the 2001 season as a wide receiver and the following year earned a scholarship. Feldeisen led the Huskies in receiving in ’03 and was also named a second team Academic All-America pick.

Punter Cole Wagner originally joined the UConn team as a walk-on and was later elevated to a scholarship player. He graduated last year as one of the top punters in school history.

Walk-on tight end Spencer Parker earned letters for the Huskies in both 2012 and ’13 and had a touchdown reception vs. Michigan.


Media Spotlight on the HuskiesT

he UConn football program receives an incredible amount of media attention from television, radio and print media. The Connecticut television market is considered the 12th-largest in the country, while the state is also situated between two of the largest media markets in the country – No. 1 New York and No. 6 Boston.

The ESPN Drive to the National Championship Bus made an appearance on the Storrs campus in 2010 to interview All-American Jordan Todman.

UConn football receives outstanding television coverage as part of The American Athletic Conference. The league holds television partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports which will give the conference unprecedented national exposure. The football portion of the contract call for 90 percent of conference-controlled games on national broadcast or national cable platforms.

All UConn football games are broadcast on the UConn IMG Radio Network and its flagship station – WTIC-AM radio in Hartford. The strong 50,000-watt station can be heard in many states along the East Coast and Midwest. On game days at Rentschler Field, WTIC broadcasts upwards of 12 hours of programming around UConn football – including a pregame show from the “Dog House” studio, located in the heart of the stadium parking lots. The games can also be heard worldwide on UConnHuskies.com.

UConn athletics has always been famous for the number of daily news-papers that follow the team. Whether it’s home or away, practice or gameday, Husky sports always makes the news on a state, regional and national level.

The UConn football program is quickly becoming one of the most tele-vised programs in the nation. Over the last three seasons, 79 of 96 UConn games have been televised with appearances on ABC, the ESPN Family of Networks and NBC.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Thetears were in coach RandyEdsall’s eyes moments beforehe entered the interview room.

UConn’s 33-30double-overtime win overNotre Dame on Saturday, avictory Edsall called the best inthe Huskies’ Division I history,had that kind of effect.

“I’m just so proud of thosekids over in the locker roomand thoseassistantcoaches,”Edsall said.“Weperseveredtoday andended up justmaking acouple playsat the endthat wehadn’t beenable to makein some ofour earliergames.”

As theyfiled out of the locker room andinto the arms of loved ones, theHuskies wore blue No. 6 shirtshonoring Jasper Howard.

They had been trying to get awin for their fallen teammatesince he was stabbed to deathon the UConn campus Oct. 18.

On Saturday, they got it.“Feels good,” said receiver

Kashif Moore, who scored thefirst points in the first OT on an11-yard touchdown pass fromZach Frazer, who was 12 of 25for 141 yards.

“We’re just thankful that wewere able to finally puttogether a win,” Edsall said.“So now we can take a gameball and send it down to . . . theHoward family because I knowone thing — that little No. 6 waslooking down on us today.”

NFL WEEK 11

Harvard-Yale is still compelling,in the way network televisionwas in the 1970s. Sadly, most ofthe world has moved on from

all the boola-boola to the BCS and FoodNetwork.

Still, when the Yale seniors reunite in 25years, masters of industry, finance andpolitics, sipping single malt scotch, theywill remember an illogical call by theirrookie coach, Tom Williams — a fake,fourth-quarter punt on fourth-and-22 fromthe Elis’ 25 that fell short and ultimately ledto Harvard’s winning score. That’s too bad.

Ohio State-Michigan is also gripping, butit isn’t the same without Woody and Bo andnothing on the line for the maize and blue.Watching Wolverines’ coach RichRodriguez spin like a chicken over arotisserie was reality television at its best.The Buckeyes, in sweet old-schooluniforms, won for the sixth straight time.

As for UConn-Notre Dame, man, howgreat was that? The greatest day in program

history.Randy Edsall’s pregame interview with

NBC’s Alex Flanagan was the mostimportant recruiting pitch he’ll ever give,but no less significant than the halftimefeature on Jazz Howard’s death, whichbathed campus, coach and program in amost favorable light for future recruits.

As for the performance, it was nothingshort of stellar. A win after watching twopotential, game-winning, fourth-quarterTDs called back for holding. And a missedfield goal at the gun.

>> The Knicks played the Nets,guaranteeing a victory for one of them. NewYork won its third; New Jersey is now 0-13,just four losses from tying the NBA recordfor the worst start ever. See, the Knicksdon’t need Allen Iverson. Nate Robinson,sinking a three — after the buzzer — in theNets’ basket for the fun of it can mess thingsup all by himself. . . . Fox Sports suspendedthe Clippers’ veteran broadcast team, Ralph

Lawler and Michael Smith, for makinginsensitive comments about Memphiscenter Hamed Haddadi, who is Iranian. Ofcourse, Fox is assuming someone wasactually watching. It’s the Clippers,remember. . . . The WNBA remainsintent on moving Sacramento to theSan Francisco Bay area after localownership bailed. We love the WNBA, buthere’s the problem: There aren’t too manypeople who even know there was a team inSacramento.

>> The Jets better play a little today againstthe Patriots because it’s hard to watch agrown man cry, especially one who hasgrown as large as Jets coach Rex Ryan. . . .The Giants will try to snap their four-gamelosing streak against Atlanta, and if theyexpect to make the playoffs, a win seemsadvisable. . . . Eagles-Bears tonight? Maybe,but not until after the Seinfeld reunion on“Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

Storrs Center: A New Downtown

Our Campus is ConnecticutIn addition to the main campus in Storrs, the University of Connecticut has a number of other campuses and schools around the state, which truly makes the state into the campus.

The UConn Health Center and John Dempsey Hospital is located in Farmington, just west of Hartford. Today, Bioscience Connecticut, an $864 million initiative, is transforming the campus of the UConn Health Center. Bioscience Connecticut is a forward-thinking plan to create thousands of construction and related jobs in the short-term and generate long-term, sustainable economic growth based on bioscience research, innovation, entrepreneurship and commercialization. It is a multifaceted plan that also includes initiatives to improve access to healthcare services in the region and beyond.

Renovations have begun in the original research tower and work is underway to build the new outpatient care center and the new hospital tower. In addition, groundbreaking ceremonies were held in January 2013 for the new $1.1 billion Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine, the first return on the state’s Bioscience Connecticut investment, which will be housed on the UConn Health Center campus. The Jackson initiative is a collaboration between the globally prominent Jackson Laboratory, UConn, the Health Center and leading academic and healthcare institutions in the region.

The UConn School of Law is one of the leading public law schools in the country. Its campus, listed on the National Register of Historic Sites, is among the most beautiful of any law school in the United States. The newly-completed law library is perhaps the finest facility of its kind in the world. Two miles from the center of Hartford, the Law School is located in a neighborhood of large Victorian homes.

UConn has long had an undergraduate campus in the Greater Hartford region and plans have been announced to relocate that campus to downtown Hartford in the former home of the The Hartford Times. That campus is expected to open in 2017.

The UConn campus in downtown Stamford is surrounded by a cluster of corporate headquarters including a number of Fortune 500 companies, such as Pitney-Bowes and Charter Communications.

The UConn campus in Waterbury is housed in a new state-of the-art facility. Options exist to transfer to the Storrs campus after two years or earn a degree right in Waterbury.

UConn’s “campus by the ocean” is located at Avery Point in the southern portion of the state in Groton. Avery Point is the home to the Connecticut Sea Grant Program in conjunction with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Project Oceanography, and education program for middle school and high school students, is also on the Avery Point campus.

The Torrington campus, located in the hills of the western portion of the state, is home to the famed Litchfield County Writers Program. The program attracts visits by some of the country’s most pre-eminent writers including Roxana Robinson and the late Madeline L’Engle and Arthur Miller.


“If You Can Make It There, You’ll Make It Anywhere”

The University of Connecticut does make it in New York City and has a strong foothold on the entire Metropolitan Region. When the Huskies are in town – the “city that never sleeps” certainly takes notice.

The UConn men’s basketball team has long considered Madison Square Garden a home-away-from-home. This was proved yet against when the Huskies won the NCAA East Region there in 2014 en route to a national championship. UConn fans dominated the MSG crowd and filled the city’s hotels and restaurants with Husky pride.

UConn football makes its debut in New York City when the Huskies play Army at Yankee Stadium on Nov. 8.

“A lot of people don’t understand what makes New York tick. The two schools with the biggest impact in the New York market have been Syracuse and Connecticut.

”Former BIG EAST Commissioner Mike Tranghese, New York Times, March 11, 2013

UConn’s Kevin Ollie, Warde Manuel and Geno Auriemma ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange.

UConn and New York CityThere are approximately 22,000 UConn graduates who live in New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area and the New York Chapter of the UConn Alumni Association is the group’s fastest growing chapter.

The UConn Football Footprint In New York CityIn a New York Times on-line story, UConn was the only former BIG EAST school listed among the top five most popular college football teams in both the New York and Boston DMAs.

SNY (SportsNet New York) Recognizes The Popularity Of The UConn BrandSportsNet New York (SNY) is the New York TV home of the New York Mets and UConn is their home college sports team. The network devotes over hundreds of programming hours a year to UConn men’s basketball, women’s basketball and football.

The World Famous Metropolitan Opera in New York City has an exclusive education partnership with UConn, providing internships and other benefits for its Fine Arts students.

2014 UCONN FOOTBALL

2014 SEASON PREVIEW

T here is a new spirit and sense of excitement around the UConn

football program entering the 2014 season.Husky head coach Bob Diaco enters his first year in charge of

the program and eyes are brighter, heads are higher and bodies are in better condition as the 2014 season beckons.

Diaco, who won the 2012 Broyles Award as the top assistant coach in the country while the defensive coordinator at Notre Dame, has delivered his promise of a wholesale mentality and cul-ture shift from the time he took the job in December 2013.

Those changes were evident during winter conditioning, spring practice and summer conditioning – and now the shift will continue into the 2014 campaign.

The Huskies will use the 2014 preseason camp to continue to mold a squad that returns 36 letterwinners into a perennial con-tender in an improving American Athletic Conference.

In addition to a challenging American slate, the Huskies will play an exciting non-conference schedule that features BYU and Boise State visiting Rentschler Field before a midseason trip to Yankee Stadium for a game with Army. The conference schedule includes home games with Cincinnati, SMU and UCF, along with trips to conference-newcomers East Carolina and Tulane.

OFFENSEOn offense, UConn returns 18 letterwinners from a year ago,

including starters at five of six skill positions.

QUARTERBACKSThree returners at quarterback saw starting time in 2013, with

sophomore Tim Boyle (Middletown, Conn.), redshirt sophomore Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) and redshirt senior Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) all making four starts last season.

Cochran closed the 2013 season with a record-setting 461-yard, four touchdown performance vs. Memphis, while Whitmer has 16 career starts under his belt and Boyle gained valuable starting experi-ence as a true freshman.

BACKFIELDPlaying time at running back is wide open, but UConn believes

there is plenty of talent here for it to be a very productive position.Redshirt junior Max DeLorenzo (Berlin, Conn.) emerged as a

threat on the ground last year after rushing for five touchdowns, and sophomore Matt Walsh (Madison, Conn.) is back at the fullback position after starting there as a true freshman.

2014 SEASON PREVIEW

Redshirt freshman Joshua Marriner (Chesapeake, Va.), redshirt sophomore Jazzmar Clax (Freehold, N.J.) and redshirt sophomore William Weyrauch (Cheshire, Conn.) will also look to solidify the UConn backfield.

WIDE RECEIVERThe wide receiver position is loaded for the Huskies, with two

starters returning and seven total letterwinners back from 2013. Redshirt senior Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) leads the

way after starting every game last year en route to the first 1,000-yard receiving season at UConn in the FBS era and first overall since 1998. Davis was named to the Preseason Watch List for the Fred Biletnikoff Award, given to the top wide receiver in the country.

In addition to Davis, returning starter senior Deshon Foxx (Lynchburg, Va.) adds to form UConn’s most productive returning unit.

Other returning letterwinners at receiver include redshirt junior Kamal Abrams (Dover, Del.), sophomore Dhameer Bradley (New Castle, Del.), redshirt sophomore John Green (Miami, Fla.) and sophomore Brian Lemelle (Harrisburg, Pa.).

Redshirt freshman Noel Thomas (Norwalk, Conn.) also fig-ures to be in the mix, while redshirt-sophomore Tony Tully (East Sandwich, Mass.), redshirt freshman Thomas Lucas (Silver Springs, Md.) and redshirt sophomore Nick Vitale (Higganum, Conn.) pro-vide the Huskies depth.

TIGHT ENDAt tight end, redshirt junior Sean McQuillan (Glastonbury,

Conn.) is the lone returning letterwinner after starting eight games last season.

Joining him at the position is a duo of redshirt freshmen in Tommy Myers (Coventry, Conn.) and Michael Boland (Dunmore, Pa.), who will all look for their first playing time this season.

OFFENSIVE LINEThe offensive line will have to replace four senior starters, with

redshirt senior Alex Mateas (Ottawa, Ontario) the lone returning starter after playing all 12 games at center last season. Mateas was named to the preseason watch list for the Rimington Trophy – given to the top center in the country.

Redshirt juniors Dalton Gifford (Fairhaven, Mass.) and Gus Cruz (Manchester, N.H.) both have starting experience and will look to solidify the line.

Junior Tyler Samra (Wycoff, N.J.) and redshirt sophomore Zach Rugg (Windber, Pa.) each lettered last year as well, and redshirt senior Bryan Paull (Parkland, Fla.), redshirt sophomore Kyle Bockeloh (Houston, Texas), redshirt sophomore Richard Levy (Trenton, N.J.) and redshirt junior Paul Nwokeji (Randolph, Mass.) all saw game action.

Redshirt freshmen Samuel Murphy (Fairfield, Conn.), Brendan Vechery (Ashburn, Va.), Thomas Hopkins (Hawthorne, N.Y.) and Kyle Schafenacker (Cooper City, Fla.) will look to crack the rota-tion and converted defensive lineman redshirt sophomore Andreas Knappe (Silkeborg, Denmark) also enters the mix.

2014 UCONN FOOTBALL

2014 SEASON PREVIEW

DEFENSEOn defense, the Huskies bring back 19 letterwinners and five

returning starters. Diaco, a former defensive coordinator, will have plenty of talent and experience to work with on the defensive side of the ball.

SECONDARYIn the secondary, the Huskies bring back four letterwinners at

cornerback, headlined by redshirt-senior Byron Jones (New Britain, Conn.), a three-year starter. Redshirt juniors Tyree Clark (Tampa, Fla.) and David Stevenson (Stone Mountain, Ga.) and redshirt sophomore Jhavon Williams (Wellington, Fla.) all saw significant time at corner including several starts and will bring experience to the position.

Also in line to earn playing time at corner is senior Chris DeBerry (Torrington, Conn.), sophomore Javon Hadley (Miami, Fla.), redshirt junior Carlos Martinez (Stamford, Conn.) and 2014 mid-year enrollee and freshman Jamar Summers (East Orange, N.J.).

Redshirt sophomore Obi Melifonwu (South Grafton, Mass.) headlines the returners at safety after starting all 12 games there a year ago.

Redshirt junior Andrew Adams (Fayetteville, Ga.) also returns with starting experience, and redshirt-sophomore Jordan Floyd (Bel Air, Md.) and redshirt junior Wilbert Lee (Brooklyn, N.Y.) played major roles in 2013.

LINEBACKERSDespite the departure of All-Conference First Team mem-

ber and leading tackler Yawin Smallwood to the NFL Draft, the

Huskies bring back an experienced group of five letter-winning linebackers.

Leading the pack is redshirt junior Jefferson Ashiru (Powder Springs, Ga.), who started 10 games in 2013. Redshirt juniors Graham Stewart (Durham, Conn.) and Marquise Vann (Cincinnati, Ohio) also made multiple starts last season, and redshirt sophomore Jon Hicks (Palmyra, Pa.) and redshirt senior Brandon Steg (Coral Springs, Fla.) both earned letters after playing valuable special teams roles.

Redshirt senior Reuben Frank (Poughkeep s i e , N.Y.) lettered last season at defen-sive end, but will move to linebacker in Diaco’s defense and brings pass-rushing exper-tise. Redshirt freshmen Junior Joseph (Sinking Springs, Pa.), Cole Ormsby (Windsor, Conn.), Cameron Stapleton (Staten Island, N.Y.) and Jalen Stevens (Goose Creek, S.C.) will look for their first play-ing time, while

CB redshirt senior Byron Jones is a three-year starter for the Huskies.

2014 SEASON PREVIEW

DEFENSIVE LINEA pair of starters highlight five returning letterwinners on

the defensive line, with redshirt junior Julian Campenni (West Pittson, Pa.) and redshirt senior Angelo Pruitt (Cincinnati, Ohio) back on the defensive front. Also returning with letter experience, redshirt junior Kenton Adeyemi (Wethersfield, Conn.), redshirt senior B.J. McBryde (Beaver Falls, Pa.) and redshirt sophomore Mikal Myers (Newburg, N.Y.) will shore up the line.

Others who will look to crack the defensive line rotation include redshirt freshman Sean Marinan (Higganum, Conn.).

On special teams, the Huskies return a pair of long snappers who each worked in game action last season, with redshirt junior Dominick Manco (Lagrangeville, N.Y) and redshirt senior Adam Mueller (Park Ridge, Ill.) combining for the duties last season.

SPECIAL TEAMSIn the kicking game, redshirt sophomore Bobby Puyol

(North Palm Beach, Fla.) replaces long-time kicker Chad Christen while redshirt-freshmen Justin Wain (Wilmington, N.C.) and Blake Feagles (Ridgewood, N.J.) will compete for the punting duty in the absence of four-year punter Cole Wagner.

In addition to his wide receiver duties, Deshon Foxx returns punts and kickoffs. Dhameer Bradley and Nick Vitale will join him on punts while Joshua Marriner and Jhavon Williams will be on kickoffs.

HEAD COACH BOB DIACO

B ob Diaco, who served on the Notre Dame coach-

ing staff as the defensive coordinator for the past four years and the assistant head coach for the past two, is in his first year as the head football coach at the University of Connecticut in 2014 – the 30th in school history.

Diaco was the 2012 winner of the Frank Broyles Award, given to the top assistant college football coach in the country and was the first Irish assistant to receive the prestigious award. He was a semifinalist for the award in 2011.

Diaco joined the Notre Dame staff in 2010 as defensive coordinator and inside linebacker coach, took responsibility for the entire linebacker position in 2011 and added responsibilities as associate head coach in 2012.

His 2012 Irish defense ranked among the top 10 in the Football Bowl Subdivision in 12 different categories as the school played in the BCS National Championship Game and posted an overall record of 12-1.

“When I met Bob and we discussed this opportunity, I was tremendously impressed by how much he knew about the university — academics and athletics. He makes an immediate impact and speaks eloquently about how he recruits, how he wins and how he dedicates

himself to the success of student-athletes. Bob’s ambitions match our history of success and our spirit. The Husky Nation deserves an

outstanding football program for the long-term and I am confident that our new head coach will build it. sd

HEAD COACH BOB DIACODiaco has an impressive coaching resume as he

served at Virginia (2006-08) as the linebackers coach and special teams coordinator and Cincinnati (2009) as the defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach before joining the Notre Dame staff.

A native of Cedar Grove, N.J., and a 1995 Iowa graduate, Diaco began his coaching career in 1996-97 as a graduate assistant at his alma mater.

He then served on the staffs of Western Illinois (1999-2000) as the special teams coordinator and running backs coach, Eastern Michigan (2001-2003) working with the same positions and Central Michigan (2005) as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.

Diaco has coached in eight post-season games, including the BCS title game with Notre Dame in 2012 and the Sugar Bowl with Cincinnati in 2010. He played in three bowl games as a student-athlete at Iowa.

He was a two-time All-Big Ten selection at Iowa as a linebacker under Hall of Fame coach Hayden Fry and was named the team’s co-MVP in 1995, starting in all 23 games over his junior and senior seasons.

Diaco has developed a national reputation as one of the top defensive coaches in the game. Notre Dame allowed an average of 19.08 points/game over the last four seasons, which ranks as the ninth-best average over 2010-13 of any team in the FBS.

His 2012 Irish defense ranked second in the FBS in scoring defense - allowing just 12.77 points per game. Notre Dame only allowed 15 offensive touchdowns - four fewer than any other FBS school. The Irish held six opponents without an offensive touchdown and nine foes to one or fewer offensive touchdowns. Under Diaco’s coaching, linebacker Manti Te’o was the 2012

winner of Nagurski Trophy, Lott Trophy, Butkus Award, Lombardi Award, Bednarik Award, Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Player of the Year. Te’o was also the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy.

Diaco’s 2011 defense ranked in the top 50 in scoring defense (24th, 20.7), total defense (30th, 344.7), rushing defense (47th, 138.9) and passing defense (38th, 205.8). It was only the second time since 2003 and fourth time in the last 15 seasons a Notre Dame defense ranked in the top 50 in all four categories. The Irish played in the Champs Sports Bowl following that season.

In his first season at Notre Dame in 2010, Diaco switched defensive schemes from a blitzing 4-3 defense the Irish utilized in 2009 and installed a 3-4 no-crease defense. Diaco’s defense became immediately better as the Irish allowed 5.69 fewer points per game, 40.5 fewer yards per game, averaged one half sacks more per game and forced more turnovers in 2010 than 2009. The Irish played in the Sun Bowl that season.

In his only season at Cincinnati (2009), he was charged with replacing 10 starters on the Bearcats’ defense, including every player on the front seven for 2009. The Bearcats recorded 110 tackles for loss in 2009 (8.46 per game) to rank third in the nation. They totaled 37 sacks and tied for 10th in the country averaging

“ I talked to many members of the college football community as we began this search for their thoughts and Bob’s name was consistently

mentioned. As we engaged in the interview process with him, I was extremely impressed with his passion and his knowledge of the game

and also for his commitment to the development of the total student-athlete. Bob has vast experience at many different schools and there is

no question in my mind that we have hired a great coach for UConn.sd

Diaco was a two-time All-Big Ten selection at Iowa under legendary coach Hayden Fry.

2014 UCONN FOOTBALL

HEAD COACH BOB DIACO2.85 sacks per contest. Cincinnati’s defense allowed 3.6 rushing yards per carry. He groomed safety Aaron Webster in a First Team All-BIG EAST pick.

Prior to Cincinnati, Diaco spent three years as the linebackers coach and special teams coordinator on Al Groh’s coaching staff at the University of Virginia from 2006-08. At the conclusion of the 2008 season, was promoted to the Cavaliers’ defensive coordinator position, but he left two months later to take the same position at Cincinnati. Virginia played in the Gator Bowl following ‘07.

Diaco’s linebackers were critical to Virginia allowing only 3.7 yards per carry and just over 21 points per game to their opponents in 2008. Only four schools permitted fewer rushing touchdowns than Virginia’s nine in 2007, and the Cavaliers allowed 106.9 rushing yards per game, 13th in the nation. Virginia ranked 16th nation-ally at 19.7 points allowed per game and was 23rd in total defense, allowing 332.5 yards per game. Linebacker Clint Sintim led the nation in sacks by a linebacker in 2007.

In his only season at Central Michigan (2005), Diaco turned around CMU’s rushing defense that just two years ear-lier had ranked last in the Mid-American Conference. Under Diaco’s watch, Central Michigan led the MAC, allowing only 113.7 rushing yards per game. He also helped defensive end Dan Bazuin lead the nation with 26.5 tackles for loss and tie a MAC record with 16 sacks.

He coached the special teams and line-backers at Western Michigan from 1999-2000. The punting, punt return and kick-off return units all finished in the top three of the MAC.

Diaco’s first full-time position was at Western Illinois where he was the running backs coach and special teams coordinator in 1999 and 2000. The Leathernecks won the Gateway Conference crown in 2000 and made an appearance in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs.

Diaco and his wife Julia have two sons - Angelo and Michael - and a daughter Josephine.

He has met fans at Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants and took part in Celebrity Mini-Golf Tournament at the Travelers Championships, Connecticut’s PGA Tour stop.

coach. Bob was arguably the top coordinator in the country as demonstrated by our defense over the last few years.”BriAn Kelly, Notre Dame Head Coach

“Right away, Bobby demonstrated a good base level of those skills that are necessary to be a head coach;

organization, high energy, leadership and the ability to relate to people. We are very excited for Bobby and Julia.

They will have a great sense of purpose and a detailed plan for resurrecting UConn football.”Al Groh, Former University of Virginia

game, but on how to be a gentleman. He is everything you could ever want in a coach. Notre Dame is going to miss

him, but he is going to do great things at UConn and I wish him all the best of luck.”mAnti te’o, San Diego Chargers Linebacker and

2012 Heisman Trophy Runner-Up

DON PATTERSON

Don Patterson, who has enjoyed a long and successful college football career as both a head coach and an assistant, in in his first year as Assistant Head Football Coach at UConn and has position responsibilities with the quarterbacks.

He and new UConn head coach Bob Diaco have strong ties – Patterson was a member of the Iowa coaching staff

when Diaco played for the Hawkeyes from 1992-95 and then was a gradu-ate assistant coach from 1996-97. While the head coach at Western Illinois, Patterson hired Diaco to his first full-time coaching position in 1999; one year later, Western Illinois won the Gateway Football Conference champi-onship with Patterson and Diaco on the sidelines.

Most recently, Patterson served as the quarterbacks coach and recruit-ing coordinator at Buffalo for the past three seasons. Patterson helped lead Buffalo to an appearance in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl this past season as quarterback Joe Licata passed for 2,824 yards and 24 touchdowns. In 2012, both Alex Zordich and Licata posted good numbers as Zordich threw for 1,254 yards and nine touchdowns while Licata passed for 1,045 yards and seven touchdowns.

Patterson was the head coach at Western Illinois from 1999-2009 and had a 62-45 career record in 11 seasons before illness forced him to step away from coaching for a year. He led the Leathernecks to three NCAA playoff berths, a pair of Gateway Football Conference titles and a No. 1 national ranking in 2003. In his decade as head coach, Patterson produced 108 all-conference honorees, 34 academic all-conference selections, 59 All-Americans, including two consensus all-Americans, and two academic All-Americans.

Patterson led Western Illinois to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs in 2000 (first round), 2002 (second round) and 2003 (second round). Western Illinois won Gateway league titles in 2000 and ‘02.

Patterson came to Western Illinois after a 20-year run on the Iowa staff with legendary coach Hayden Fry from 1979-98. During his tenure at Iowa, the Hawkeyes appeared in 14 bowl games, including three Rose Bowls. The 1985 Iowa team was ranked No. 1 in the nation for five weeks, en route to a school-record 10 wins.

Patterson went to Iowa as a defensive backs coach in 1979, was the recruiting coordinator in 1980, worked with the tight ends from 1981-88, the quarterbacks and wide receivers from 1989-91 and then served as the

offensive coordinator from 1992-98.Under Patterson’s guidance, the Iowa offense was explosive, lead-

ing the Big Ten in rushing (217.0 yards/game) and scoring (34.3 points/game) while finishing second in pass efficiency in 1997. Iowa finished the 1997 campaign ranked eighth in the nation in rushing offense and ninth in scoring.

Patterson was instrumental in Iowa’s success, making the Hawkeyes one of only three Big Ten teams (also Ohio State and Michigan) to play in 14 bowl games during his tenure. Iowa appeared in the Rose Bowl after the 1981, 1985 and 1990 seasons, and made eight consecutive bowl appear-ances from 1981-88. The success of the Hawkeyes was immediate upon Patterson’s arrival with Fry, evidenced by a Rose Bowl berth in their third season (1981), which was Iowa’s first Rose Bowl appearance since 1958. Iowa ranked third among Big Ten teams in victories from 1979-98 and was one of three Big Ten teams to win more than 100 games between 1984-98.

Patterson was the last member of Fry’s original Hawkeye staff and his association with Fry began in 1978 as an assistant at North Texas State coaching the defensive secondary.

Patterson is a 1973 Army graduate and served on the cadet honor committee and was named to the highest-ranking cadet staff while at the Academy. He and his wife, Lisa, have a daughter, Brooke, who earned her doctorate in pharmacy from Purdue.

MIKE CUMMINGS

Mike Cummings, who served as the Offensive Coordinator for the past four seasons at Central Michigan, is in his first year in 2014 as the Offensive Coordinator at UConn and has position responsibility with the tight ends.

During Cummings’ tenure at CMU, the school boasted one of the Mid-American Conference’s top offens-es. Cummings had position responsibil-

ity for the offensive line at Central Michigan and coached offensive tackle Eric Fisher, who was the first pick in the 2013 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs.

Cummings and new UConn head coach Bob Diaco were on the same coaching staff together at Eastern Michigan in 2000 and ‘01.

In 2012, Cummings directed a CMU offense that averaged 6.2 yards per play, ranking No. 2 in the MAC, produced nearly 400 yards of offense per game and scored 30 or more points in 10 games. Much of the offensive success can be attributed to the play of the CMU offensive line, which Cummings has position responsibility for, which allowed just 15 sacks, ranking No. 17 nationally.

Cummings coached five All-Mid-American Conference offensive line-men over the last three seasons. Colin Miller and Jeff Maddux were both named to the 2010 All-MAC Second Team, while Fisher was a Third Team selection in 2011 and was honored on the All-MAC First Team in 2012. Andy Phillips was a second team pick in 2013.

Fisher, who also earned All-America honors from the Associated Press, became the highest NFL draft pick in MAC and Central Michigan history. A starter of all 13 games in 2012, Fisher flourished under Cummings’ tutelage rising from a relatively unknown commodity at the beginning of the season to a national sensation following dominant performances at the Senior Bowl and the NFL Scouting Combine.

The Chippewas ranked in the top 25 nationally in passing offense dur-ing 2010 and ‘11 under Cummings. CMU ranked 25th nationally in 2011, averaging 274.2 yards per game through the air, one year after ranking 20th with a 284.0 yards per game average. The Chippewas have thrown for 295 or more yards 17 times over the past four seasons, including six games of 350 yards or more.

The 2010 season marked the start of Cummings’ fourth stint at CMU. He was the Chippewas’ offensive line coach from 1992-97 and 1999, and he was a graduate assistant at CMU during the 1988 and 1989 seasons. Cummings coached seven All-MAC honorees during his previous time at CMU.

Cummings served as the offensive line coach and recruiting coordi-nator at Marshall from 2005-09. At least one Marshall offensive lineman earned All- Conference USA honors in each of his five seasons.

Prior to Marshall, Cummings was the offensive line coach and recruit-ing coordinator at Western Michigan for three seasons.

Cummings’ career also includes stops at Eastern Michigan (defen-sive line/ special teams/recruiting coordinator, 2000-01), Michigan State (tight ends/ special teams, 1998), Millersville (offensive line, 1990-91) and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (offensive line, 1987).

Cummings earned three varsity letters in football at Buffalo. He earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education and exercise science from Buffalo in 1984 and his master’s degree in athletics administration from CMU in 1990.

Cummings and his wife Donna have two daughters, Elizabeth and Emily.

ANTHONY POINDEXTER

Anthony Poindexter, who was a member of the coaching staff at Virginia since 2003 and played for two seasons in the NFL, is in his first year as the Defensive Coordinator in 2014. He has position responsibility with the safeties.

Poindexter and new UConn head coach Bob Diaco were on the coaching staff together at Virginia from 2006-08.

During Poindexter’s ten-year coaching career at Virginia, he worked on the defensive side of the ball for the final five and with the safeties since 2010.

Poindexter was UVa’s running backs coach from 2004-2008 and was also the special teams coordinator from 2006-12. He joined the Virginia staff as a graduate assistant coach in 2003. He returned to his alma mater the year before as a graduate assistant coach for strength and conditioning.

In 2011 at Virginia, Poindexter’s unit helped hold opponents to a completion percentage of just 53.7 percent, the second lowest mark in the ACC. Under Poindexter in 2009, UVa’s defensive backs helped the Cavalier defense rank No. 4 in the ACC and No. 21 in the nation in pass defense. Highlighting the group of defensive backs was second-team All-ACC honoree Ras-I Dowling and Chris Cook, who was chosen in the sec-ond round (34th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings.

In 2008, as the head of the running backs, Poindexter saw tailback Cedric Peerman conclude one of the most productive careers in school history. Peerman, who played in the Senior Bowl after earning honorable mention All-ACC honors, finished as the 19th most productive back in UVa history, rushing for 1,749 yards and 15 scores.

Regarded as one of the fiercest hitters in the game during his collegiate career (1994-98), Poindexter earned first-team All-America honors at safety his junior and senior seasons. He also was chosen the 1998 ACC Defensive Player of the Year and is one of only three players in school history to earn first-team All-ACC recognition three times.

He finished his career with 342 career tackles, the ninth-most in school history and tops among ACC defensive backs. He is tied for fifth in school history with 12 interceptions.

As a freshman, Poindexter helped make perhaps the biggest single defensive play in school history when he and teammate Adrian Burnim stopped Florida State tailback Warrick Dunn inches from the goal line

on the game’s last play to preserve a 33-28 win over the second-ranked Seminoles. With the victory, Virginia ended FSU’s four-year, 29-game conference winning streak since joining the league in 1992.

Poindexter’s senior season ended prematurely when he injured his left knee in the seventh game of the season and later underwent reconstructive surgery. Poindexter was selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the seventh round of the 1999 NFL draft. He spent two seasons with the Ravens before ending his pro career with the Cleveland Browns. To honor his legacy at UVa, Poindexter’s No. 3 jersey was retired on Oct. 10, 2009 at Scott Stadium.

Poindexter earned his degree in anthropology from Virginia in 1999.Poindexter and his wife, Kimberly, have three children - Morocca,

Anthony, Jr. and Chloe.

MIKE FOLEY

A veteran of northeastern football coaching, Mike Foley is entering his ninth season on the UConn staff in 2014. He spent the 2012 season and the first four games of 2013 working with the tight ends. For the remainder of 2013 Foley worked with both the offensive line and the tight ends. He worked with the offensive line for his first six years with the Huskies.

Prior to UConn, Foley completed 21 seasons of involvement with the football team at his alma mater, Colgate University. He had served as the Raiders’ offensive coordinator and offensive line coach since 1997.

In his first season working with the tight ends in 2012, Ryan Griffin earned All-BIG EAST second team honors and he and John Delahunt combined to be one of the more effective tight ends duos in school history. Griffin was selected by the Houston Texans in the sixth round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

Foley and his offensive line were key factors in UConn’s outstanding rushing game in 2009-11 as the Huskies featured two 1,000-yard rushers in BIG EAST Player of the Year and All-American Jordan Todman (2009 and `10) and Andre Dixon (2009). Lyle McCombs joined that group in 2011. In addition, center Moe Petrus was named First Team All-BIG EAST Conference while tackle Mike Ryan was second team.

Foley and his offensive line were a key factor in Donald Brown achieving the status as the country’s leading rusher in 2008. In 2008, Foley coached First Team All-BIG EAST Conference selection Will Beatty at left tackle as Beatty later went on to play in the Senior Bowl and was selected in the Second Round of the National Football League Draft by the New York Giants.

In 2005, his final year at Colgate, the Raiders posted an 8-4 record and advanced to the NCAA Division I-AA Playoffs. Foley helped coach all seven of Colgate’s NCAA Playoff squads, including the 2003 team that advanced to the National Championship Game. Of the 13 seasons in which Colgate was eligible for the playoffs with Foley aboard, the team qualified seven times. Foley also played a role in each of Colgate’s five Patriot League Championship teams (1997, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2005).

Colgate broke the league record for rushing yardage three times under his tutelage, and led the Patriot League five out of his last nine seasons. During his tenure as offensive coordinator (1997-2005), Foley produced 39 All-Patriot League players including 13 on the offensive line. His offensive schemes and the line’s blocking helped pave the way for a pair of Walter Payton Award winners, Kenny Gamble in 1987 and Jamal Branch in 2003.

He began his coaching career as offensive line coach at Bates College in 1978, before moving the next fall to Dartmouth as the freshman offen-sive line coach for one season. After one season as offensive line coach at Holy Cross in 1980, he returned to his alma mater as junior varsity head coach and varsity receivers coach. After two seasons in that position, he took over as offensive line coach in 1983. Foley added the duties of offensive coordinator in 1984.

In 1986, he served as interim head coach during the absence of head coach Fred Dunlap, who was recovering from bypass surgery. Following Dunlap’s retirement in 1987, Foley was named head coach of the Raiders, a title he held through 1992, compiling a 21-34 record. He returned to the Hamilton, N.Y. campus in 1997 as offensive coordinator and line coach after three years on the Harvard staff. While with the Crimson, he served as offensive coordinator during his entire stay.

He was a four-year letterwinner at Colgate and captain of the 1977 team. A three-year starter at center, he was twice honored as an All-East performer by the Associated Press and, in 1977, was also named to the ECAC All-East squad. In 2004, Foley was inducted into Colgate’s Athletic Hall of Honor.

Foley was born in Kittery, Maine, but grew up in Newburyport, Mass. He graduated from Colgate University in 1978 with a degree in economics. Foley and his wife, Kathleen, have two grown children, Erin and Patrick. A football coach like his father, Patrick is the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Colgate.

DAVID CORLEY

David Corley, who spent the past six seasons on the staff at William & Mary, is in his first season as an assistant football coach at UConn in 2014 and will serve as the Director of Player Engagement and have position responsibility with the running backs.

Corley joined the William & Mary staff in 2008 and spent the first two seasons as the running backs coach and the next three working with the quarterbacks. He spent 2013 as the wide receivers coach and passing game coordina-tor.

A 2002 graduate of William & Mary, Corley played profession-ally in the Canadian Football League with the Hamilton Tiger Cats (2003) and Calgary Stampeders (2006). He also was a member of the Arena Football League’s New York Dragons (2005).

In his two seasons working with the running backs at William & Mary, he groomed tailback Jonathan Grimes into one of the nation’s top players at the FCS level. Grimes set the Tribe’s fresh-man records for both rushing and all-purpose yards and was named as a honorable mention All-American as a return specialist. Grimes follow-up sophomore campaign moved him into the program’s career top-10 lists in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in just his second season. He eventually graduated as the most decorated player in Colonial Athletic Association history with 11 all-confer-ence honors.

Corley returned to William & Mary, where he excelled as a four-year starter and multiple-time all-conference quarterback from 1999 through 2002. He wrote his name in nearly every significant passing record for the school, including graduating as the Tribe’s all-time leader in passing yards (9,805), total offense (10,948) and touchdown passes (73).

Corley began his playing career by earning the league’s Rookie of the Year honors after the 1999 season, where he started the final eight games of the Tribe’s schedule. He twice led the league in pass-

ing efficiency (1999 and 2002) and earned postseason honors in each of his final four years.

KEVIN WOLTHAUSEN

Kevin Wolthausen, who has enjoyed a long and successful career in college football coaching, is in his first year as an assistant coach at UConn and is the Recruiting Coordinator. He has position responsibility with the defensive line.

In 30 seasons coaching in college, Wolthausen has been a part of 18 post-season bowl teams, including seven New

Year’s bowl games. In total, he has been part of 21 postseason appearances during his 34-year coaching career. Wolthausen and new UConn head coach Bob Diaco were on the same staff at Eastern Michigan in 2002.

He most recently served as the special teams coordinator at Florida International in 2013 and in 2012 was the defensive line coach at Purdue as the Boilermakers played in the 2012 Heart of Dallas Bowl.

Wolthausen has been a part of many successful teams at all levels of the game. Prior to Purdue, he was the defensive line coach for the Las Vegas Locomotives of the United Football League as the team won the first two UFL championships.

Wolthausen was the associate head coach and linebackers coach at Eastern Michigan in the winter of 2009, where he first served as an outside linebackers coach in 2002.

He was an assistant coach at Louisville from 2003-06 and the Cardinals played in four bowl games, including the FedEx Orange Bowl, Toyota Gator Bowl, AutoZone Liberty Bowl and GMAC Bowl. Louisville also won the 2006 Big East and 2004 Conference USA titles.

At Louisville, Wolthausen first began as a linebackers coach in 2003, then defensive line from 2004-05 and a co-defensive coordinator in 2006. He was integral in mentoring several outstanding defensive players, including defensive end Elvis Dumervil and defensive tackle Amobi Okoye.

Dumervil was a 2005 unanimous All-American and became an NFL Pro Bowler with the Denver Broncos. With Wolthausen, Dumervil won several awards as a senior, including: the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, the Ted Hendricks Award and Big East Player of the Year.

In Okoye, Wolthausen coached the NCAA’s youngest player, playing as a 16-year-old true freshman at the start of his career. He would later become a 19-year-old first round draft pick of the Houston Texans in 2007. Okoye garnered Associated Press Second-Team All-American honors and first-team All-Big East honors as a senior in 2006.

Following Louisville, Wolthausen was the defensive line coach for the Atlanta Falcons in 2007. Prior to Louisville, he coached in the Arena Football League as the fullback/linebackers coach for the Arizona Rattlers in 2002.

In 1995, Wolthausen returned to the state of Arizona for six seasons as the defensive line coach at Arizona State. Wolthausen was originally a gradu-ate assistant coach and got his first full-time Division I coaching job at the University of Arizona from 1983-86.

With ASU, Wolthausen was a part of four Sun Devil bowl teams and in 1996 would come up just shy of winning at least a share of the school’s first national title after falling to Ohio State 20-17 in the final seconds of the 1997 Rose Bowl. ASU finished the year ranked fourth nationally with an 11-1 record. Notable players he coached at Arizona State included Erik Flowers, a first round draft pick of the Buffalo Bills in 2000, and Jeremy Staat, a second round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1998.

From 1993-94, Wolthausen was the defensive line coach at Oklahoma. The Sooners would play in bowl games both seasons he was in Norman.

Wolthausen’s six seasons as defensive line coach at USC from 1987-92 were arguably some of his most successful years in coaching. Five Trojan teams were bowl-bound during that span, including three straight appear-ances as the Pac-10 champions in the Rose Bowl.

Wolthausen was first a graduate assistant at Arizona for a pair of seasons (1983-84) before becoming full-time with the Wildcats as the outside line-backers coach in 1985 and defensive line coach in 1986. In his first two years

as a Division I coach, 1985-86, the Wildcats played in bowl games, including a 1986 win in the Aloha Bowl and a season ranked in the top 10.

He began his career in 1980 as student assistant at Cal State Northridge before returning to his alma mater, Humbolt State, as a part-time defensive assistant from 1980-82.

Wolthausen graduated in June 1981 with a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Humboldt State, where he was a linebacker from 1978-79. He was the team’s top tackler in 1979 and received all-league honors.

Wolthausen and his wife, Michel, have one son, Noah, and one daugh-ter, Quinnlin.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Towson running back Terrance West ran for 156 yards and two touchdowns and the Tigers defeated the University of Connecticut football team by a 33-18 score before a crowd of 30,689 at Rentschler Field on Thursday night. It was Towson’s first win against an opponent from the bowl subdivision.

Towson put up 393 yards of total offense while holding UConn to just 287. Quarterback Peter Athens threw for 192 yards and another score and running back Sterlin Phifer caught a 23-yard touchdown and ran for another. West carried the ball a career-high 36 times, and broke the 100-yard mark for the 12th time in his career. The junior’s two fourth-quarter scores put the game away.

UConn junior wide receiver Shakim Phillips (Paterson, N.J.) had two touch-down catches for Connecticut and redshirt junior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) caught five balls for 100 yards in the losing effort.

The Tigers were up 13-10 at halftime and trailed just once, at 7-0. The Huskies were held scoreless in the second half of this one until junior quarterback Chandler Whitmer (Newnana, Ga.) hit Phillips with a 21-yard touchdown pass with 3:29 left in the game that cut the deficit to 26-18.

But on UConn’s next opportunity, freshman Brian Lemelle (Harrisburg, Pa.) fumbled a punt. West, who now has 46 career touchdowns, then put the finishing touches on the upset, scoring from 5 yards out with 16 seconds left in the game.

Connecticut took an early lead after a 92-yard drive that was set up with a diving interception by redshirt freshman safety Obi Melifonwu (South Grafton, Mass.). The redshirt freshman was pressed into a starting role when Andrew Adams (Fayetteville, Ga.) went down in camp with a shoulder injury. Nine plays after the pick, Whitmer found Phillips breaking toward the left corner for a 31-yard catch-and-run.

Towson answered in just four plays. Phifer swung out of the backfield on a delay pattern and Athens found him wide open for a 23-yard touchdown. Phifer scored again in the second quarter on a five-yard run. That came two plays after Jon Desir tipped and intercepted a Whitmer pass at the UConn 29-yard line, a ball that ended up between Desir’s legs.

Towson controlled the second half. Athens took the Tigers on a 13-play 95-yard drive in the third quarter, finishing it himself. His dive from a yard gave the Tigers a 19-10 lead. Leon Kinnard, a transfer from UConn, made the big play of the drive, catching a 39-yard pass that set Towson up at the UConn 25-yard line.

Connecticut drove into Towson territory, but fumbled on fourth-and-1 at the 33-yard line, giving Towson the ball back.

The Tigers then drove 62 yards in 10 plays, with West going in from 6 yards out. The junior, who carried the ball a career-high 36 times, ran 1,051 yards as a sophomore, after rushing for almost 1,300 yards and scoring 29 touchdowns as a freshman.

UConn’s Whitmer completed 15 of 27 passes for 199 yards and the two touch-downs. Husky junior running back Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) had 76 yards rushing on 17 carries.

UConn fell to 9-3 in season openers since making the jump to the FBS in 2002, including 9-2 at Rentschler Field.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Maryland quarterback C.J. Brown ran for 122 yards and a touchdown and threw for 277 yards and another score on Saturday night as the Terrapins beat the University of Connecticut football team by a 32-21 score before a crowd of 38,916 at Rentschler Field.

Stefon Diggs had 110 yards receiving, including a 12-yard touchdown for the Terrapins, who improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2001.

UConn redshirt junior wide receiver Shakim Phillips (Paterson, N.J.) caught a career-high 10 passes for 178 yards and a late touchdown for UConn, which fell to 0-2. UConn returns to action next Saturday when it plays host to Michigan at 8:00 p.m. on ABC -- a gametime which was announced late Saturday.

Diggs, who caught five balls, had 98 yards receiving at the half. His 12-yard catch and run in the third quarter capped a four-play 80-yard drive in the third quarter that put the Terps up 20-10.

The Huskies cut the lead to 20-13 on a 34-yard field goal that came after Brandon Ross fumbled the ball at his own 25-yard line. Maryland got some breath-ing room when Dexter McDougle stepped in front of UConn redshirt junior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) on the right sideline, and took an interception back 49-yards across the field for a touchdown.

UConn redshirt junior quarterback Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) was 29-of-46 for a career-high 349 yards and a touchdown. Phillips scored a late 75-yard touchdown catch and run, but had to be helped off the field after getting injured on the play.

The Terps turned the ball over three times in the first quarter in UConn ter-ritory, twice failing to convert on fourth-and-1. Brandon Ross was stuffed for a three yard loss to end the Terps first possession, and UConn responded by going on a six-play 64-yard drive that ended with redshirt junior tailback Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) taking a pile of players into the end zone from five yards out. Brandon Ross finished with 95 yards rushing while McCombs had 53 for UConn.

Maryland went for it and missed again on fourth-and-1 from the UConn 23, and in between, Brown was picked off by senior cornerback Taylor Mack (Powder Springs, Ga.) on the Huskies 22.

Maryland got on the board in the second quarter when Brown kept the ball on a read option and went 41 yards up the middle of the Husky defense to tie the game, capping a four-play 80-yard drive.

The teams traded field goals to keep the game tied at 10. Redshirt senior Chad Christen (Etters, Pa.) had a 33-yard field goal, which was his ninth consecutive successful attempt. The Terps then put together a 10-play, 86-yard drive just before halftime, settling for a 21-yard field goal after Levern Jacobs stepped out of bounds on a 48-yard reception just before diving into the end zone.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Senior running back Fitzgerald Toussaint ran for 120 yards and two touchdowns and junior linebacker Desmond Morgan made a one-handed interception in the fourth quarter that swung the game Michigan’s way and the 15th-ranked Wolverines topped the University of Connecticut by a 24-21 score before a sold out crowd of 42,704 at Rentschler Field. The game was the largest attended game in the history of the stadium.

UConn drops to 0-3 on the season while the Wolverines improve to 4-0. A week after Michigan needed a last-second stand to hold off Akron, Brendan Gibbons kicked a 21-yard field goal with 4:36 left to give the Wolverines their first lead of the second half.

UConn junior Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) threw two touchdowns and junior safety Ty-Meer Brown (McKeesport, Pa.) returned a fumble 34 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter that put UConn up 21-7.

Quarterback Devin Gardner turned the ball over three times for Michigan and the Wolverines also muffed a punt inside their 10 that led to a UConn touchdown.After UConn junior linebacker Yawin Smallwood (Worcester, Mass.) stopped Gardner short on a fourth-and-two at the Huskies 22 with 11:23 left in the fourth quarter, the record crowd at Rentschler Field was rocking and starting to believe an upset was in the making.

But Morgan made the play of the game, leaping high and snaring Whitmer’s pass over the middle with his right hand.

He returned it 29 yards to the 12. “That’s going to be replayed a long time in Michigan history,” Gardner said of Morgan’s pick. On the next play Toussaint swept untouched around the left side to make it 21-21 with 9:49 left.

Michigan forced a three-and-out on the next series and got the ball back around midfield, but its drive stalled at the 4 and Gibbons made the short kick to give Michigan a three-point lead with 4:36 left. UConn’s last drive reached midfield, but Michigan pushed the Huskies backward and they came up three yards short on a fourth-and-29.

Michigan had three turnovers in the first half that helped give UConn a 14-7 lead. Turnover No. 4 came on its first possession of the second half. Gardner tried to sneak on a third-and-short, but as he slid down the line, he bumped into one of his linemen and the ball popped loose.

Brown picked up the ball and had a couple of teammates escorted him into the end zone.

Michigan finally responded with a drive, going 75 yards, the final 35 by Toussaint, who made it 21-14 with 5:37 left in the third.

Gardner threw a first-quarter interception deep in UConn territory. He redeemed himself with a 17-yard touchdown run to give Michigan a 7-0 lead with 1:52 left in the first. UConn ended the quarter with one first down.

But Michigan couldn’t take advantage and Whitmer through two TD passes in the second quarter to put UConn up 14-7 at half.

Gardner didn’t complete a pass in the second quarter and for the second straight week Michigan looked disjointed.

AMHERST, N.Y. – Buffalo quarterback Joe Licata was 10 for 19 in the air with three TD passes for 177 yards as the Bulls defeated the University of Connecticut football team by a 41-12 score before a crowd of 20,952 at UB Stadium.

The win was the first for Buffalo over UConn since 2001 as the Bulls up their record to 2-2 and the Huskies are 0-4. UConn is 0-4 for the first time since 1991.

UConn turned the ball over five times while Buffalo scored through the air, on the ground and on defense in building a 28-12 halftime lead. They blocked a field goal and scored 17 points off Connecticut turnovers.

Licata passed for a career-high three touchdowns, connecting with different receivers on each score. Licata found tight end Mason Schreck for a five-yard touchdown in the first quarter, later adding a 22-yard touchdown to Alex Neutz and a 36-yard score to Fred Lee.

The Bulls were aided by the return of starting running back Branden Oliver, who had 110 total yards including 90 yards rushing and a touchdown.

UConn junior quarterback Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) turned the ball over four times, including a second-quarter interception that Najja Johnson returned 33-yards for a Bulls touchdown. UConn redshirt freshman quarterback Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) made his collegiate debut in the fourth quarter as he was two-for-five in the air for 11 yards and an interception.

Husky senior kicker Chad Christen (Etters, Pa.) connected on field goals of 33 and 37 yards, but had a 48-yard attempt blocked in the second quarter. Patrick Clarke hit field goals of 49 and 50 yards for Buffalo.

UConn junior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) was a bright spot for the Huskies, with five catches for 102 yards. The Huskies continue to have trouble on the ground as they entered the game 121st in rushing offense. They finished the game with 27 yards rushing on 39 attempts. The win was Buffalo’s first against a BCS school since Sept. 7, 2002, when they beat Rutgers.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – USF kicker Marvin Kloss hit two field goals and Aaron Lynch returned a fumble 44 yards for a touchdown as USF beat the University of Connecticut football team by a 13-10 score on Saturday before a Homecoming crowd of 37,861 at Rentschler Field. UConn drops to 0-5 on the season and 0-1 in the American Athletic Conference while USF is 2-4 and 2-0.

It was the Bulls second consecutive win without an offensive touchdown after beating Cincinnati last week.

Kloss’ 44-yard field goal with just over four minutes left capped a more than seven minute fourth-quarter drive, and was the game winner. He has converted on nine consecutive attempts, including a 47-yarder in the first half.

UConn junior running back Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) had a career-high 164 yards rushing and a touchdown for Connecticut, which has lost five straight games to open a season for the first time since 1977.

The Bulls winning drive went 65 yards in 13 plays. USF just missed out on a touchdown when Steven Bravo-Brown got his hands on a 26-yard pass, but dropped the ball in the end zone.

UConn, which was held scoreless in the second half, got the ball back twice more. They drove to midfield with six seconds left, but a Hail Mary on the game’s final play fell incomplete in the end zone.

An interception by redshirt junior UConn cornerback Byron Jones (New Britain, Conn.) at the USF 29, set up a 32-yard field goal from redshirt senior Chad Christen (Etters, Pa.) that opened the scoring.

USF’s defense then got its third touchdown in three weeks. Ryne Giddins knocked the ball away from Boyle, and Lynch picked up the loose ball and rumbled 44-yards to make it 7-3 late in the first quarter.

It took the Huskies just four plays to retake the lead as McCombs weaved his way for a 52-yard touchdown run, his longest run of the season and longest since 2011. The junior’s previous rushing high this season had been 76 yards. He had 135 in the first half of this one.

Kloss, who hit four field goals last week, capped a six-play second quarter drive to score 10-10. The junior has five field goals of 47 yards or more on the year, a new school record.

UConn had a chance to take the lead in the third quarter, but Julius Forte blocked a 47-yard field goal attempt, the second week in a row that USF has blocked a kick.

CINCINNATI – Cincinnati quarterback Brendon Kay followed one of his best games with an even better one, throwing for four touchdowns and running for another on Saturday as the Bearcats pulled away to a 41-16 victory over the University of Connecticut football team before a crowd of 28,847 at Nippert Stadium.

UConn falls to 0-6 with the loss and 0-2 in the American Athletic Conference while Cincinnati ups its record to 5-2 overall and 2-1 in The American.

Kay tied his career high with the four touchdown passes - each to a different receiver - and was 17 of 24 for 300 yards.

UConn freshman quarterback Tim Boyle (Middlefield, Conn.) made his second career start and was under constant pressure. He threw an interception that helped the Bearcats take control late in the first half. Boyle was 22 of 39 in the air for 310 yards with three interceptions.

Deven Drane tipped Boyle’s pass and picked it off, returning it 41 yards to the two-yard line. Kay ran the final few inches on a keeper with 1:31 left in the half.

Boyle was sacked by Silverberry Mouhon as Cincinnati forced a punt, and Kay completed three passes, including a 32-yarder to Max Morrison for another touch-down with 17 seconds left in the half for a 27-3 lead. Boyle was 22 of 39 for 310 yards with the three interceptions, one of them in the end zone.

Connecticut managed only 56 yards of rushing while falling behind 34-3 against a defense ranked sixth nationally in yards allowed and fourth in pass defense.

Kay slightly injured the wrist on his throwing arm when it hit a teammate’s helmet on a follow-through in the second quarter. He stayed in the game and threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Blake Annen on the next play, hitting the closely covered tight end in stride.

Kay got his fourth touchdown pass on a quick flip to Anthony McClung, who went 28 yards in the fourth quarter. It was the third time in his career that Kay threw for four TDs.

UConn’s final points came on a 40-yard fumble return by redshirt sophomore linebacker Marquise Vann (Cincinnati, Ohio) with 6:10 to go.

DeLorenzo led UConn in rushing with 46 yards on six carries while redshirt junior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) had eight receptions for 140 yards.

ORLANDO – University of Central Florida quarterback Blake Bortles threw for four touchdowns and 286 yards while rushing for another TD as the No. 21-ranked Knights defeated the University of Connecticut football team by a 62-17 score before a crowd of 37,924 at Bright House Network Stadium on Saturday.

UConn’s two first-half turnovers put the Huskies in a hole early and they had no answers for UCF’s air attack. UConn falls to 0-7 on the season and 0-3 in American Athletic Conference while the Knights are 6-1 overall and 3-0 in the conference.

Bortles completed his first eight passes of the game and ended his day early in the third quarter, connecting on 20 of 24.

UConn freshman quarterback Tim Boyle (Middlfield, Conn.) was sacked twice, also slowing down an offense that was just 2 of 12 on third-downs conversions.

UCF’s had its way offensively in the first half as it hurried to a 45-10 lead. The Knights scored on all seven of their possessions of the half, compiling 338 yards on offense. Bortles continued to show the poise he displayed in that comeback win, spreading the ball around to seven receivers. The Knights’ defense also carried over its momentum from the Louisville win, holding the Huskies to 90 yards in the first half.

UConn recovered, and then benefited from a roughing the passer call on the Knights to set up a nine-yard touchdown run by redshirt junior Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) that made it 21-10.

UCF got the ball to open the game and needed just seven plays and a little over two minutes to take a 7-0 lead. Storm Johnson carried three times in the 75-yard drive, capping it with a 10-yard touchdown run.

The Huskies’ started from the 10 on their first possession of the day and quickly got into UCF territory on a 57-yard run by McCombs. The drive moved inside UCF’s 25, but stalled there and they settled for a 40-yard field goal by senior Chad Christen (Etters, Pa.).

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – The 20th-ranked University of Louisville team topped the University of Connecticut football team by a 31-10 score on Friday night before a crowd of 27,104 at Rentschler Field. Louisville improves to 8-1 on the season and 4-1 in American Atheltic Conference plays while UConn is 0-8 and 0-4 in the league.

Freshman quarterback Tim Boyle (Middlefield, Conn.) threw three intercep-tions for Connecticut and was limited to just 113 yards of passing. Louisville had 369 yards in offense and held the Huskies to 237.

Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater came into the game completing almost 74 percent of his passes. He might have been close to that Friday, but was victimized by numerous drops, as his receivers seemed to struggle catching a hard ball with the temperature hovering in the 30s.

Bridgewater threw just his third interception of the season in the third quarter when UConn redshirt sophomore Andrew Adams (Fayetteville, Ga.) stepped in front of a pass. UL cornerback Terell Floyd got that back on the next play, inter-cepting Boyle’s pass and taking the ball back 17 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown. It was the first of two picks for Floyd.

Cardinals cornerback Charles Gaines, who had an interception for a touchdown against USF, also scored. He blocked a punt after a muffed snap, scooped it up and ran 7 yards to open the scoring. The Cardinals have outscored opponents 75-6 in the opening 15 minutes of games this season. Gaines added a second-quarter interception.

The Huskies lone TD came on a 14-yard pass from redshirt freshman QB Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) to junior wide reciever Kamal Abrams (Dover, Del.) with 35 seconds left in the game.

UConn took the game’s opening drive inside the Louisville 10 before a fumble. The Huskies also had a 14-play first-half drive, which ended in a 35-yard field goal with 14:54 left in the first half.

But the Cardinals held them to 58 yards rushing. Louisville running back Dominique Brown, who ran for 125 yards on just 18 carries in his first career start two weeks ago, had only 29 yards against UConn. Perry added 27 and Bridgewater had 21.

DALLAS – SMU quarterback Garrett Gilbert threw four touchdown passes to help the Mustangs hold off the University of Connecticut football team 38-21 on Saturday before a crowd of 14,639 at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. UConn falls to 0-9 on the season and 0-5 in the American Athletic Conference while SMU is 4-5 and 3-2.

Gilbert, the national leader in total offense at 409.4 yards per game before Saturday, passed for 353 yards and ran for 23 against the Huskies.

UConn stayed within a touchdown of SMU until 3:50 remained in the game. At that point, SMU’s Chase Hover kicked a 27-yard field goal, set up by Connecticut’s 14-yard punt.

Gilbert passed for two touchdowns each to Jeremy Johnson and Keenan Holman. Johnson finished with 12 catches for 71 yards. Holman had 8 for 88 yards, and teammate Der’rikk Thompson caught 5 for 113.

For UConn, Cochran passed for two scores and redshirt sophomore Max DeLorenzo (Berlin, Conn.) ran for a touchdown. Redshirt junior Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) led the Huskies with 103 rushing yards in 17 carries.

SMU scored first with 3:35 remaining in the first quarter on Gilbert’s one-yard pass to Holman. He made a leaping catch at the back of the end zone and came down with one foot in bounds. On the previous play, Gilbert had appeared to score on a run from 24 yards out.

The first quarter ended with the Mustangs leading 7-0. They extended the lead to 14-0 on Gilbert’s four-yard pass to Johnson. It capped a 12-play, 80-yard drive. The Huskies answered with a 75-yard drive that ended with DeLorenzo’s 2-yard touchdown run. Penalties on SMU for a horse collar tackle and pass interference in the end zone helped UConn move into position to score.

In hurry-up mode, Gilbert drove the Mustangs 70 yards in 10 plays and 2:10. A five-yard TD pass to Johnson produced a 21-7 lead 18 seconds before halftime.

UConn stopped the Mustangs on their first possession of the second half. Redshirt freshman Cochran then led a 62-yard drive. He threw a one-yard touch-down pass on fourth down to redshirt sophomore tight end Sean McQuillan (Glastonbury, Conn.)

UConn’s offense wasn’t bothered by the two-TD deficit. The Huskies scored on a 26-yard pass from Cochran to team receiving leader redshirt junior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.)

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Connecticut football team overcame a 21-0 halftime deficit and scored 28 unanswered points in the second half to post a 28-21 win over Temple on Saturday night before a crowd of 20,045 at windy and chilly Lincoln Financial Field.

The Huskies won their first game of the season and now have a 1-9 record and a 1-5 mark in the American Athletic Conference while Temple is 1-10 and 0-7.

UConn redshirt freshman quarterback Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) tied the game at 28-28 on a one-yard rush with 6:52 to play and junior linebacker Yawin Smallwood (Worcester, Mass.) won it when he intercepted Temple quarter-back P.J. Walker and returned the ball 59 yards for the game-winning touchdown with 4:20 remaining.

The 21-0 deficit for the Huskies marked the largest comeback in the school’s FBS history, which dates back to 2002. The previous mark was 17 when UConn trailed Western Michigan 17-0 in the second quarter and wound up with a 41-27 win on Nov. 1, 2003.

Smallwood tied for a team-high with eight tackles. The interception was his first of the season, and the first pick-six of Walker’s career. Walker attempted to tie the game on its final drive but his final heave to the end zone fell incomplete with 38 seconds remaining.

Temple hopped out to an early lead and took a 21-0 advantage into the half, but allowed UConn to make it a one score game with two third-quarter touchdowns, on a 33-yard reception by redshirt junior Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) from Cochran and a seven-yard by redshirt sophomore running back Max DeLorenzo (Berlin, Conn.).

The Owls’ defense tried to keep UConn and Cochran from tying the game, but came up short on two key fourth-and-goals. Temple actually stopped UConn on a third-and-goal from the one-yard line but cornerback Anthony Robey was called for pass interference on fourth-and-goal, allowing UConn a fresh set of downs at the goal line. Temple then proceeded to stop three straight rushes at the one-yard line but could not stop Cochran on the Huskies second fourth down from the goal line.

Two minutes and 32 seconds later, Walker couldn’t catch Smallwood on his touchdown return.

EAST HARTFORD. Conn. – University of Connecticut redshirt freshman quar-terback Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) threw for 311 yards and two touchdowns and the Huskies beat Rutgers 28-17 on Saturday before a crowd of 22,163 at Rentschler Field. The Huskies won for the second time in two weeks and are now 2-9 on the season and 2-5 in the American Athletic Conference. Rutgers falls to 5-6 overall and 2-5 in the league.

UConn redshirt sophomore running back Max DeLorenzo (Berlin, Conn.) rushed for two scores for the Huskies, who lost their first nine games this season. DeLorenzo’s second touchdown run, from a yard out, put the Huskies in front 21-17 in the fourth quarter. Cochran then led UConn on a 12-play, 56-yard drive on their next possession, sealing the win with a three-yard touchdown pass to fresh-man Brian Lemelle (Harrisburg, Pa.)

Rutgers senior Chas Dodd, making his first start of the season for the Scarlet Knights threw for 286 yards and a touchdown. Dodd also threw two interceptions to UConn senior cornerback Taylor Mack (Powder Spring, Ga.), including one on the Husky 19-yard line with just two minutes left.

Dodd, who got the start over team captain Gary Nova, helped put Rutgers back in front in the third quarter. He found Quron Pratt down the left sideline for an 84-yard completion, the longest play of the season for the Scarlet Knights. That set up a three-yard touchdown run from Justin Goodwin.

UConn got a big play on its next possession -- a screen pass from Cochran to junior Deshon Foxx (Lynchburg, Va.) went for 41 yards, setting up DeLorenzo’s touchdown run. Foxx caught nine balls for 117 yards.

Rutgers scored first as the Scarlet Knights took the opening drive to the UConn 10-yard line then faked a 27-yard field goal. Holder J.T Tartacoff threw the ball into the back of the end zone where tight end Tyler Croft wrestled it for a touch-down.

UConn responded with an eight-play, 79-yard drive. Cochran hit five of six passes, including an 18-yard throw over the middle to freshman wide receiver Dhameer Bradley (New Castle, Del.), the first touchdown catch of Bradley’s col-lege career.

Rutgers Quron Pratt was stripped of the ball on the kickoff return, Rutgers’ 17th turnover of the season. UConn scored five plays later on a 12-yard run by DeLorenzo. Cochran, who was 25-33 for the game, had just one incomplete pass in the first quarter, hitting five different receivers.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – UConn redshirt freshman quarterback Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) threw for a school single-game record 461 yards and four touchdowns in leading the University of Connecticut football team to a 45-10 win over Memphis on Saturday before a crowd of 17,086 at Rentschler Field.

Cochran completed 36 of 54 attempts and didn’t throw an interception and his 461 yards breaks the record of 445 set by Dan Orlovsky vs. Syracuse in 2004. His 36 completions was second in school single-game history while his 54 attempts is tied for third.

UConn redshirt junior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) also had a record-setting day with a school-record 15 receptions to go along with 207 yards and a TD. The 15 receptions topped the mark of Keith Hugger, who had 14 vs. Delaware in 1981. His 207 yards was fifth in school single-game history. He finished the season with 1,085 receiving yards - sixth in school history and the first 1,000 yard season since 1998.

The Huskies racked up 538 yards of offense, while holding Memphis to 257. UConn junior wide receiver Deshon Foxx (Lynchburg, Va.) caught the first score of the game for UConn, an 18-yard strike in the back of the end zone that gave the Huskies a 7-3 first-quarter lead. Foxx had 11 catches for 137 yards and two scores. His 18-yard fourth quarter catch gave Cochran his passing record.

Cochran hit Davis on a 15-yard fade route in the left side of the end zone on the Huskies’ next drive. Davis outjumped two Memphis defenders for the ball.

The Huskies drove 63 yards in the final minute of the half, capping the drive when Cochran rolled right and threw a swing pass back to the left side, which red-shirt junior running back Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) caught and jogged into the end zone from 11 yards out.

HISTORICAL TIMELINE

1897 19191896The history of intercollegiate football at the University of Connecticut begins with the formation of the Athletic League of New England State Colleges. Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island join for the purpose of scheduling regular meetings in football and baseball. Connecticut is known as Storrs Agricultural College.

1897 A year of firsts, all in one game; first game against Rhode Island, first game against a collegiate opponent and first game in the newly formed conference. S.A.C. wins 22-8.

1899Storrs Agricultural College changes its name to Connecticut Agricultural College.

1901The 1901 squad finished 8-2 and registered six shutouts on the season, including five straight in one stretch. Rhode Island was the only inter-collegiate opponent on the schedule and was one of the shutout victims, falling to the “Aggies” of Connecticut Agricultural College by a count of 27-0.

1919Gardner Dow, a native of New Haven, dies on September 20, 1919, after making a spectacular flying tackle in a game at New Hampshire. Dow suffered a concussion of the brain. The athletic fields behind Hawley Armory were named after him and served as the site of home games for football, base-ball, soccer, lacrosse and track meets.

1923Connecticut enters the New England Conference, which includes all New England state schools except for the University of Vermont.

1924This squad is down in the annals as one of the school’s finest, finishing 6-0-2 and winning the New England Conference Championship. The Aggies are said by the New York Times to be among the best teams in the country and the team defense finishes first in the nation. The team gave up only 13 points all season and only three in the final seven games.

Senior team captain Martin “Red” O’Neill is the school’s first All-America candidate, lead-ing the 1923 and 1924 teams. As legend has it, his career started in 1922 during a loss to Springfield College. A Connecticut Agricultural College (now UConn) player was injured and the coaches could find no one to replace him among the reserves. Someone spotted O’Neill watching the game from the stands and called to him to join in the game. He threw on a uniform and stepped into the line-up, where he would remain for three seasons.

1934First season for head coach J.O. Christian. The school receives big press coverage at the end of the 1-7 campaign for stealing the Rhody Ram mascot before the game with Rhode Island (pictured above).

1935First football team to come in early for preseason camp at the expense of the school.

1939First season as the University of Connecticut; team defeats Coast Guard, 14-0, in the first game ever played under flood lights at Gardner Dow Field.

HISTORICAL TIMELINE

1945 1958 19651942, 1944-1945During the war years, head coach J.O. Christian and the Huskies put together a three-year stretch like none other in school history. In that three-season span (with no football being played in 1943), Connecticut won 20 of 24 contests. The Huskies registered separate winning streaks of six, eight and five games and shutout their opponents in 13 of the 20 wins.

1945UConn tailback Walt Trojanowski shares the NCAA scoring title with Doc Blanchard of Army. Both men scored 132 points on the season.

1947UConn becomes a charter member of the Yankee Conference.

1953Memorial Stadium opens with a 26-6 Connecticut win over St. Lawrence on October 10, 1953. The 1953 season also marked the first appearance at a football game for the marching band.

1956-1960UConn captures five straight Yankee Conference Championships, a league-record for consecutive titles won or shared. During that span, the Huskies compile a 17-1-2 record in Yankee Conference play and go 18 league contests before their lone loss in the stretch, to New Hampshire.

1965UConn beats Yale for the first time ever (pictured above), on September 25, 1965, 13-6. UConn becomes the first school from within the state of Connecticut to ever beat Yale.

1969UConn joins the NCAA in celebrating the 100th anniversary of college football by selecting an 11-member All-Time UConn team. More than 130 UConn football players receive votes in the balloting of fans, alumni and former players.

1967-73Connecticut captures four Yankee Conference championships in a seven-season span, going 27-6-3 in league play during that stretch.

1983Linebackers John Dorsey and Vernon Hargreaves become the first team-mates in UConn football history to earn All-America honors in the same season. The duo combined for more than 300 tackles and helped UConn to a share of the Yankee Conference Championship.

1989UConn plays the first night game in the history of Memorial Stadium on September 23, 1989, and defeats New Hampshire, 20-10.

D an Orlovsky earned Most Valuable Player honors after going 20 of 41 in the air for

239 yards and two touchdowns as UConn defeated MAC Champion Toledo by a 39-10 score in the 2004 Motor City Bowl, UConn’s first ever bowl appearance.

In addition to O rlovsky’s honor, Tyler King was named the United Auto Workers Lineman of the Game.

The Huskies were led in rushing by Cornell Brockington, who had 15 carries for 72 yards. The leading receiver on the day for UConn was Keron Henry with nine catches for 239 yards.

UConn got out of the gates early, and set a Motor City Bowl record, by scoring 17 points in the first quarter while shutting the Rockets out. The Huskies took the opening drive 41 yards on eight plays to set up a 35-yard field goal by Matt Nuzie. Nuzie went on to kick three more field goals, for a total of four, to set a new Motor City Bowl record and tie a UConn single-game record.

The Huskies scored the first touchdown of the contest as Orlovsky, after eluding a blitzing Rocket, hit Jason Williams in the corner of the end zone for a dazzling 32-yard TD pass on a fourth and six play.

The final points of the first quarter came as Larry Taylor returned a punt 68 yards for a score.

Toledo scored its first points of the game as it grinded out a 13-play, 63-yard drive that ended with a one-yard touchdown run by quarterback Bruce Gradowski.

The Huskies scored 13 more points in the sec-ond quarter to take a 30-7 lead at the half. Orlovsky threw a seven-yard TD pass to Brian Sparks, whose sliding catch with 7:42 left in the half capped an eight-play, 41-yard drive. That touchdown was set up by a 54-yard kickoff return by Taylor.

Nuzie kicked a pair of field goals in the final 1:24 of the half – a 37-yarder and a 25-yarder on the final play of the half.

The teams traded a pair of field goals for the only scoring of the third quarter as Jason Robbins hit a 27-yard field goal for Toledo 3:13 into the half while Nuzie hit a 36-yarder with 1:53 left to play in the quarter.

The only scoring of the fourth quarter came with 25 seconds remaining as sophomore Matt Lawrence scored a touchdown on an 11-yard run.

2014 UCONN FOOTBALL

BOWL GAME RECAPS

W ake Forest quarterback Riley Skinner was 29-of-38 in the air for 268 yards

and a touchdown to lead the Demon Deacons to a 24-10 victory over UConn in the 2007 Meineke Car Care Bowl before a crowd of 53,126 at Bank of America Stadium.

The two halves were mirror images of each other as UConn shutout Wake Forest in the first half and the Demon Deacons held the Huskies scoreless in the second.

The contest was the second bowl game in the last four years for UConn – who has been playing as a member of the BIG EAST for only four years. The Huskies defeated Toledo in the 2004 Motor City Bowl. This year, UConn sold its entire

allotment of 12,500 tickets for the bowl game in Charlotte – the second BIG EAST school to ever do that.

UConn led 10-0 at the half, but Wake Forest scored two third quarter touchdowns to take a 14-10 lead after three quarters.

Wake Forest took the opening possession of the second half and marched for a touch-down on a six-play, 66-yard drive. Josh Adams scored the touchdown on a 38-yard run 2:16 into the half.

The Demon Deacons took the lead for good on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Skinner to John Tereshinski on a third-and-14 play. Wake Forest made it 17-10 on a 43-yard field goal 3:07 into the final quarter by Sam Swank. The Demon Deacons sealed the win with a TD run by Micah Andrews in the final minute.

UConn was severely limited in the second half on offense as the Huskies had just 73 total yards of offense while the Deacons had 275.

UConn’s Tyler Lorenzen was 13-of-26 in the air for 98 yards. Donald Brown led UConn in rushing with 13 carries for 72 yards. Brad Kanuch was the leading Husky receiver with three receptions for 36 yards.

Wake Forest senior wide receiver Kenny Moore was named the game’s MVP as he made 11 receptions for 112 yards.

UConn scored all 10 of its points in the first half. Larry Taylor scored the only touch-down of the first half when he returned a punt 68 yards for a touchdown with 2:38 left in the first quarter. Ironically, Taylor had a 68-yard punt return for a TD in UConn’s only other bowl game – a win over Toledo in the 2004 Motor City Bowl – which came with 2:31 left in the first quarter down the near (UConn) sideline running to the camera’s right.

The only other first half points came with 5:00 left in the second quarter as Tony Ciaravino connected on a 29-yard field goal that finished an eight-play, 80-yard drive. That drive was highlighted by a 58-yard run by Brown on the first play of the drive.

D onald Brown rushed for 261 yards on 29 carries and one TD to lead the University

of Connecticut to a 38-20 victory over Buffalo in the 2009 International Bowl. The game was played before a crowd of 40,184 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. The crowd was the highest in the three-year old history of the event.

Brown was named the Most Valuable Player of the Game. UConn tailback Jordan Todman also enjoyed a fine day with seven carries for 62 yards.

The Husky defense was outstanding as it limited the Bulls to 237 yards of total offense and just 24 net yards of rushing. Buffalo had a total of 16 drives in the game and the Bulls only gained more than 30 yards on one of them. Buffalo had nine drives of ten yards or less.

Buffalo led 20-17 at halftime after a haphazard second quarter that saw the Huskies commit four turnovers that resulted in 17 points for the Bulls.

UConn scored the only points of the third quarter to take the lead for good in the game on a four-yard TD pass from quarterback Tyler Lorenzen to tight end Steve Brouse.

Dahna Deleston rounded out the scoring with a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown, making the score 38-20 with 2:15 to play.

In the second quarter, UConn kicker Dave Teggart connected on a 32-yard field goal 49 seconds into the period to give the Huskies a 10-3 lead.

The Husky defense then stopped the Bulls on three plays, but UConn then fumbled a punt return as the Bulls recovered the ball in the endzone for a touchdown to tie the game.

UConn then fumbled the ball on the second play of its next possession to give the Bulls the ball at the Husky 18. The UConn defense was valiant again and held Buffalo to six yards as A.J. Principe kicked a 29-yard FG for a 13-10 Bull lead with 8:22 to go. On the ensuing kickoff, UConn fumbled that return to give Buffalo the ball at the Husky four and the Bulls scored on first down on a rush by James Starks to make it 20-10 Bulls.

Lorenzen scored the final TD of the first half on a 13-yard run that was set up by a career-long 75 yard rush by Brown.

The Huskies outgained Buffalo 225-94 in the first half as the Huskies had just one pass attempt in the half. Brown had 207 yards of rushing in the first half.

UConn limited the Bulls to 40 yards of total offense in the first quarter and two first downs while the Huskies had 112 yards.

I n a defensively-minded game, the University of Connecticut football team nearly

shutout South Carolina in the Papajohns.com Bowl to earn the school’s first win over a Southeastern Conference opponent. The game was played in front of a crowd of 45,254 at Legion Field, a Papajohns.com Bowl record attendance. UConn finished with the 20-7 victory earning their second-straight and third overall bowl victory.

The Huskies shut out South Carolina in the first three quarters of the game and have shut out their bowl opponents in nine of 16 quarters played.

With his 126 yards on the day, senior tailback and Fred Sington Most Vaulable Player Andre Dixon reached the 1,000-yard mark for the season becoming the 12th run-ning back in UConn history to reach the mark and joining teammate Jordan Todman, who accomplished the feat earlier in the season. Todman finished the day with 36 yards.

This is the first time in UConn history that two running backs have rushed for over 1,000 yards in the same season. They join Nevada and Georgia Tech as NCAA FBS teams that have at least two players that have rushed for over 1,000 yards during the 2009 season.

Junior quarterback Zach Frazer was nine of 21 in the air for 106 yards and connected with sophomore Kashif Moore two times for 40 yards and a touchdown.

Stephen Garcia led South Carolina by passing for 129 yards on a 16 for 38 effort also rushing for 56 yards on the day. Alshon Jeffery grabbed three passes for 28 yards for the Gamecocks.

The Huskies were the first to get on the board after an unbelievable one-handed 37-yard grab by Moore, who tip-toed along the sidelines and extended into the endzone to put the Huskies up with 6:31 remaining in the first quarter.

South Carolina decided to attempt a fourth and short at its own 32-yard line but senior Lindsey Witten stepped up and stopped the rush as the Huskies took over in Gamecock territory. UConn got the ball down to the 16-yard line but settled for a 33-yard field goal by sophomore Dave Teggart to improve their lead to 10-0.

Teggart boosted the lead to 13-0 in the second quar-ter with 8:26 remaining in the game connecting on his second field goal of the game, a 44-yard boot, setting a new Papajohns.com Bowl record. Later in the quarter, South Carolina earned their first first down of the game with 7:37 left in the half. They only managed four first downs in the entire first half for a net of 84 yards.

After SC fumbled at their own 35-yard line, Dixon used the opportunity to record his first touchdown of the day, a 10-yard run to boost the Huskies lead to 20 with 13:12 remaining in the fourth quarter. Dixon’s TD capped a 3:53 minute, nine play 35-yard drive.

The Gamecocks got on the board with 3:24 remain-ing in the game capitalizing on a blocked punt and scor-ing on a two-play 40-yard drive. Alex Molina recovered an onside kick for the Huskies as UConn ran out the clock.

T he University of Connecticut played in its first-ever Bowl Championship Game and

dropped a 48-20 decision to seventh-ranked Oklahoma in the 2011 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl before a crowd of 67,232 at the University of Phoenix Stadium.

UConn junior tailback Jordan Todman carried the ball 32 times for 121 yards and Husky senior quarterback Zach Frazer was 19 of 39 in the air for 223 yards.

Oklahoma sophomore quarterback Landry Jones was 34 of 49 in the air for 429 yards while senior DeMarco Murray rushed 25 times for 93 yards.

Oklahoma scored touchdowns on both of its first quarter possessions. After UConn began the game with a three-and-out, the Sooners marched 70 yards on nine plays for an eight-yard TD pass from Jones to junior James Hanna. The scoring play came on the only third down play the Sooners had on the drive.

UConn moved 55 yards on its next possession, but failed on a fourth-and-one play that gave the Sooners the ball at their own 19. The Sooners then moved the ball 81 yards on nine plays and scored on a three-yard rush by Murray. Oklahoma gained 63 yards on five first down plays during the drive.

The Huskies broke into the scoring column when redshirt sophomore Dwayne Gratz picked off a Jones pass and returned it 46 yards for a touchdown. The interception return for a TD was the fifth of the year for the Huskies - tying a school record from 2007.

Oklahoma came right back and moved the ball from its own 20 to the Husky 20, but UConn’s defense held strong and limited OU to a 41-yard field goal to make it 17-7 with 9:57 to go.

The teams then traded field goals the rest of the first half as junior kicker Dave Teggart hit a 37-yard field goal with 26 seconds left in the first half to make it 20-10 at the break.

The Sooners exploded for two quick TDs to start the second half as they took their second possession of the half a quick four plays in 80 yards as Jones hit senior Cameron Kenny on a 59-yard touchdown pass.

Oklahoma then made it 34-10 as Frazer threw an intercep-tion picked off by junior Jamell Fleming.

UConn junior Robbie Frey kept the pesky Huskies going as he returned the ensuing kickoff 95 yards for a score to cut the lead to 34-17. Junior kicker Dave Teggart hit on a 38-yard field goal with 5:04 left in the third to make it 34-20. The field goal marked the tenth-straight for Teggart, as he ended the season making 15 of his past 16 attempts.

Junior Ryan Broyles gave the Sooners a 41-20 lead when he had a five-yard reception for an Oklahoma touchdown with 7:49 left in the game. Broyles’ score was followed up at the 2:40 mark when freshman Tony Jefferson had a 22-yard interception return for another Sooner touchdown, putting the final score at 48-20.

2014 UCONN FOOTBALL

The University of Connecticut has a long tradition of sending players to the Canadian Football League – both Canadian natives as “non-import” players and natives of the United States. That tradition continued in 2012 as five former Huskies were in the CFL.

Two former Huskies – Jordan Younger and Danny Desriveaux – played for the 2012 Grey Cup Champion Toronto Argonauts. Younger is a veteran of the league as 2012 was his 12th season while Desriveaux was in his sixth. Younger has played 11 of his 12 seasons with Toronto.

Tight end Martin Bedard is now a five-year member of the Montreal Argonauts and the team was the Grey Cup Champions in 2009 and 2001. Montreal played in the Grey Cup championship game in 2012.

Larry Taylor is a five-year veteran of the league and now plays for the Calgary Stampeders. He was with Montreal from 2008-10 and won a pair of Grey Cup titles. He was the 2009 CFL Special Teams Player of the Year. As a rookie in 2008, he returned two punts for a touchdown in the East Division final games vs. Edmonton.

Julius Williams, who played at UConn through 2008, played his second CFL season in 2012 and is with the Edmonton Eskimos.

The following other Huskies have won Grey Cup titles:

Former UConn tight end Martin Bedard, who graduated in 2008, was one of four for-mer Huskies that were on the 2009 Montreal Alouettes team that won the Grey Cup in November 2009.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS WARDE MANUEL

W arde J. Manuel, who has had a distinguished career in intercollegiate

athletics that ranges from being a student-athlete to a director of athletics, became the Director of Athletics at the University of Connecticut in March of 2012.

Manuel, a 1990 graduate of the University of Michigan where he played both football and track and field, had most recently been the Director of Athletics at the University at Buffalo for six years.

His first academic year of 2012-13 was a highly successful one for UConn teams, highlighted by the women’s basketball team winning the NCAA Championship. In addition, UConn teams from men’s soccer, field hockey, women’s lacrosse and baseball all took part in NCAA tournament play while the women’s diving and men’s and women’s track and field pro-grams were all represented in NCAA individual championships.

This success more than continued into the 2013-14 academic year as UConn won three national championships for the first time in school his-tory – men’s basketball, women’s basketball and field hockey. In addition, the men’s soccer team advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals.

UConn was just one of four schools nationally that finished in the top ten of the Capital One Cup on both the men’s and women’s side.

Manuel directed UConn’s acceptance into membership of Hockey East, the nation’s premier men’s ice hockey conference, as the Huskies begin play in the league in 2014-15.

Ground was broken for the UConn Basketball Champions Center in the spring of 2013 and the facility opened in the summer of 2014 to service both the Huskies’ men’s and women’s championship basketball teams.

Manuel oversaw a coaching transition in men’s basketball with the retirement of Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun and the hiring of former Husky student-athlete, NBA player and UConn assistant coach Kevin Ollie.

In December of 2013, Manuel hired former Notre Dame defensive coordinator Bob Diaco as UConn’s new football coach.

During his tenure, Manuel also hired new head coaches for the UConn men’s and women’s ice hockey, volleyball, women’s track and field and soft-ball program.

The UConn Division of Athletics once again had an outstanding rate performance in the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) in 2014 as all three national championship teams posted a perfect 1000 single-year score while field hockey also had a perfect 1000 four-year score. A total of 14 UConn teams posted perfect single-year scores of 1000 and five had multi-year scores of 1000.

The men’s basketball team has had APR scores of 978, 947 and 1000 in the past three years as Manuel has helped develop a comprehensive academic plan for all UConn programs.

Manuel has already become a key leader in the American Athletic Conference and has been named a member of the league’s Finance Committee.

Manuel led a 20-sport program at Buffalo, an institution that is a mem-ber of the prestigious American Association of Universities. Buffalo enjoyed an unparalleled period of success during his time there from an athletic, academic and community service perspective.

From an academic standpoint, teams at Buffalo enjoyed incredible suc-cess. When Manuel arrived at UB, there were four programs - football, men’s basketball, wrestling, and baseball - that fell far below the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) cut score of 925. With a focused academic plan, all four teams posted a four-year APR rate above the cut score and at the end of 2009-10, 10 of UB’s 20 sports had scores of 975 or above.

Buffalo enjoyed great on-field success during Manuel’s time as the football team participated in the 2009 International Bowl and the men’s basketball team made postseason appearances in three of the past seven years. Olympic sports also thrived under Manuel’s leadership with accomplishments such as three-straight Dad Vail Regatta titles by the rowing team, six wrestlers earning spots at the 2011 NCAA Championship and the women’s tennis team making an appearance in the 2008 NCAA tournament. The sports of baseball and softball won a record number of games during his tenure and student-athletes earned All-American and all-conference honors at record rates.

Manuel was honored by Sports Business Journal as a 2008 national 40-Under-40 honoree after receiving the same honor from Business First of Buffalo in Fall of 2007. Manuel has served on a number of national and conference committees and boards.

In September of 2011, he was one of only three Athletic Directors asked to serve on the Collegiate Model Rules committee, a working group of the Division I Committee on Academic Performance, charged with broad over-view of the current NCAA Rules Manual.

He also currently serves on the NCAA Division I Championships/Sports Management Cabinet and served for four years as a member of the NCAA’s Academic Cabinet. During that time, he was selected as Chair of the NCAA Academic Eligibility & Compliance Transfer Ad Hoc Committee. He is a member of the Boards of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and the D1A Athletic Directors Association. He also serves as a member of the Council of Presidents Budget & Finance Committee and served for three years as the Chair of the Mid-American Conference Director of Athletics Finance Committee.

In June of 2007, Manuel accepted the Opportunity Award by all-time tennis great Billie Jean King, as Buffalo was recognized by the Women’s Sports Foundation as one of four “standout” colleges and universities in the nation for outstanding achievement in providing equitable athletic opportu-nities for its female student-athletes.

Prior to his time at Buffalo, he was the assistant and associate director of athletics for the University of Michigan, where he oversaw that school’s football and men’s basketball programs. In February 1998, he was named an assistant athletic director at Michigan with responsibilities for overseeing operational facets of the university’s athletic program. He was named an associate athletic director in September 2000.

Born May 22, 1968, Manuel is a native of New Orleans, who was a high school All-American football player and played for the University of Michigan under its legendary coach, Bo Schembechler. Manuel earned mul-tiple letters and started at defensive end in his sophomore year. His football career was cut short by a neck injury and he subsequently earned two letters on the Wolverines’ track and field team.

After graduating from Michigan, Manuel was coordinator of the univer-sity’s Wade H. McCree, Jr., Incentive Scholars Program from June 1990 to August 1993. The program is a partnership with The President’s Council of State Universities and Detroit Public Schools that helps students prepare for higher education at public universities in Michigan. He subsequently worked briefly as an academic advisor with the Georgia Tech Athletic Association before being named assistant athletic director of academic affairs.

In the course of working on a PhD in social work and psychology at Michigan, he earned a master’s degree in social work in 1993 and an MBA from Michigan’s Ross School of Business in April 2005.

Manuel and his wife, Chrislan, have a daughter, Emma (19), who is in her junior year at UConn, and a son, Evan (15).

CLOSE TO STORRS

In addition to all that the city of Hartford and the state of Connecticut has to offer, the region within two hours of Storrs is ripe with cultural and entertainment possibilities.

NEW YORK CITY (142 miles)

The largest city in the country and the “media capital of the world” is a UConn city. New York City is located approximately two hours from Storrs and when the Huskies are in town, they make their presence known. UConn took over Madison Square Garden in March 2014 when the Huskies won the NCAA East Regional on their way to the national championship. The Huskies make their football debut in the Big Apple this year when they play Army in November at the new Yankee Stadium. From the glimmer of Times Square, to the vast expanse of Central Park, to the majestic skyline, New York City can be easily reached by the Metro-North train lines that run into southern Connecticut. The metro New York area also boasts 10 major professional sports franchises.

SPRINGFIELD (47 miles)

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is located less than an hour from Storrs in Springfield, Mass., just minutes from the YMCA where Dr. James Naismith invented the game in 1891. A must-see for any fan of the hardwood, the Hall of Fame reopened in the fall of 2002 in a $45 million home just off of Interstate 91 in Springfield. The pinnacle of any basketball career, the hall’s long list of inductees now includes UConn men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun, a 2005 inductee, and women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma, a 2006 inductee. Once you finish your tour of the Hall of Fame, Springfield’s neighboring suburb of Agawam is the home of Six Flags New England, the region’s largest amusement park.

CLOSE TO STORRS

BOSTON (86 miles)

The birthplace of the American Revolution, Boston’s historic Freedom Trail is a living history textbook, covering everything from the Battle of Bunker Hill to the midnight ride of Paul Revere. Meanwhile, the city blends its old world charm with a cosmopolitan new world attitude that is evidenced by some of the trendier shops and restaurants that line both historic Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the Back Bay’s Newbury Street. One of the world’s foremost centers of education, Boston is home to over 50 colleges and universities; perhaps the entire world’s most concentrated collection of colleges. The greater Boston area also includes the summer beach resorts on Cape Cod and the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. A hub of sporting activity, the 2004, 2007 and 2013 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox have called fabled Fenway Park home since 1912. The 2008 NBA Champion Boston Celtics and the 2011 Stanley Cup Champions Boston Bruins also call Beantown home, while the 2002, 2004 and 2005 Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots and MLS’ New England Revolution play outside of the city in Foxboro’s Gillette Stadium.

PROVIDENCE (51 miles)

Rhode Island’s capital city shows that one of the nation’s smallest states also has plenty to offer its visitors. The multi-cultural capital city, which dates back to 1636, is the Ocean State’s centerpiece. The best known hamlet on the Rhode Island shore, the ocean town of Newport is world famous for its mansions and is a popular vacation destination for those seeking aquatic activities. Newport’s renowned music festival is also a well-attended annual event.

UCONN TRADITIONS

JonAthAn the husKy mAscotThe official mascot of the University of Connecticut is a Siberian Husky dog named Jonathan. Jonathan XIII made his debut on the Storrs campus in

the winter of 2008 and made his Rentschler Field debut at the 2008 Blue-White Spring Football Game. He will be once again on hand for the ’13 season. The first Husky dog came to UConn in 1934 and the puppy was named for Jonathan Trumbull, the Governor of Connecticut during the Revolutionary War. The pedigree of Jonathan I was traced back to include a great-grandfather who traveled to the North Pole with Admiral Bryd in 1909. Jonathan III was with Admiral Byrd when he undertook “Operation High Jump” to the Antarctic in 1946-47.

A costumed mascot has also gained popularity over the past several decades.

Once more, as we gather todayTo sing our alma mater’s praiseAnd join in the fellowship strongThat inspires our college days.We’re backing our teams in the strifeCheering them to victory.We pledge anewTo old Connecticut,Our steadfast spirit of loyalty.

Connecticut, ConnecticutThy sons and daughters trueUnite to honor thy nameOur fairest white and blue.

When time shall have severed us farAnd the years their changes bring,The thought of the college we loveIn our memories will cling.For friendships that ever remainAnd associations dearWe’ll raise a songTo old ConnecticutAnd join our voices in our long cheer

“uconn husKy” FiGht sonG“UConn Husky” is the fight song of the school. It was written in the mid-1930’s by

Herb France, who was UConn’s Director of Music until the mid-1950’s. The song is widely known for its playing at different sporting events, but got “out of this world” attention in October 1989 when it was played aboard NASA’s Space Shuttle to wake up the shuttle astronauts. Among those astronauts on the mission was Franklin Chang-Diaz, a 1973 UConn graduate.

victory BellAn enduring tradition of UConn football is the ringing of the Victory Bell after each UConn score. The bell was moved from the previous home of UConn football, Memorial Stadium, to its new home – Rentschler Field. After each score, the bell is rung once for each point UConn has scored in the game.

“The Husky Walk”UConn fans get a chance to greet the Huskies as the team arrives at Rentschler Field for gameday. “The Husky Walk” has a new route this year as the team busses will pull up next to the Tan Lot at Rentschler Field two-and-a-half hours before each game and the team will make its way to Gate B at the stadium.

2014 UCONN FOOTBALL

RENTSCHLER FIELD

S ome college football teams play in stadiums that put fans so close

to the action that the spectators feel like they can reach out and touch the players. These stadiums are intimate and are part of what has made college football special.

Other stadiums are ultra-modern edifices that feature the latest in facilities such as luxurious suites and spacious locker rooms.

The home of University of Connecticut football — Rentschler Field — happens to be both.

The Huskies are in their 11th season playing at Rentschler Field, located in East Hartford, Conn., and the facility just gets better and better. Rentschler Field opened on Aug. 30, 2003, as the Huskies defeated Big Ten Conference member Indiana, 34-10. Among the enhancements that were new to the stadium 2013 were a brand-new video board and ribbon boards that circle the stadium.

UConn has now played 71 games in the facility over the past nine seasons and has posted an impressive 48-23 record at Rentschler Field – including perfect records in 2010 (6-0) and a 7-0 mark in 2007 to set a UConn single-season record for home wins.

The Huskies have sold out 30 Rentschler Field games, includ-ing a streak of 12 in a row. UConn has played to a 90 percent of capacity during its time there before a total of 2,361,541 fans. The Huskies set a new single-game attendance record at Rentschler on September 21, 2013, as 42,704 witnessed the UConn vs. Michigan game. Extra seats were added for that game in scoreboard-side end-

zone to accommodate the crowd.The building of the facility and its management was and is the

result of incredible teamwork and dedication between the state’s Office of Policy and Management, the town of East Hartford, United Technologies Corporation and the assistance from numer-ous public and private sector organizations. The result of this coop-eration gives the people of Connecticut the opportunity to view college football at its highest level in a world-class facility.

The natural grass playing surface of Rentschler Field is 26 feet below grade at the stadium and was resodded in the summer of 2011. Rentschler Field features stadium seating, outdoor chairback seating, fully enclosed club seats and luxury suites.

The tower at Rentschler Field includes levels for suites, club seating and media/game management facilities.

There are 38 suites in the stadium and more than 600 seats in the club area, which also includes a 12,000-square foot function area, which is used by club patrons on gameday and is available for meetings and social events the remainder of the year.

The outdoor seating area of Rentschler Field includes near-ly 4,000 chairback seats with the rest being bleacher seating. Rentschler Field is unique in the fact that it has handicap accessible seating on the field level.

The media facilities are some of the most modern in the coun-try with seating for 125 media members in the main press area. There are also separate booths for television and radio broadcasts.

RENTSCHLER FIELD

That level also includes booths for coaching staffs, security, public address announcer, scoreboard operation and other gameday facili-ties.

The concourses at Rentschler Field provide generous, open and barrier-free circulation for entering and exiting the facility. The con-course also provides easy access to various concession and novelty stands and restrooms.

The stadium features state-of-the-art facilities for members of the UConn football team, including an incredible locker room area.

The main UConn locker room is 3,750 square feet and has space for 125 players. There is also a coaches locker room, equip-ment area and medical training rooms.

There is also a spacious visiting team locker room area with similar amenities.

The audio and video facilities at Rentschler Field are some of the most advanced in the country. The sound sys-tem is de-centralized with approximately 300 digital-quality speakers providing the audio.

All parking for the stadium is located within the footprint of the sta-dium site – which makes it unique for a college football facility. In total, there are 10,600 parking spaces at the Rentschler Field site.

Rentschler Field fea-tures lighting with four towers in each corner of the stadium and a bank of lights on top of the press box.

Rentschler Field is a facility that was built for Connecticut, by Connecticut. Through a concerted effort, the sta-dium project far outpaced the state’s requirements to

This means contractors and indi-viduals that may never before have been able to benefit from proj-ects of this scale helped build their skills, their companies and their careers while they help build their community.

The various East Hartford area non-profit groups that staffed the concession stands on game days are able to generate approxi-mately $65,000 on an annual basis through their work at the games.

Rentschler Field is also the home of the Connecticut High School Coaches Hall of Fame, which is located on the southwest concourse.

The stadium was developed by the State of Connecticut Office of Policy and Management. The facility was designed by the architectural firm Ellerbe Becket and the construction manager was Hunt/Gilbane joint venture. The primary tenant at Rentschler Field, which is operated by Bushnell Management Services, LLC, is the UConn football program.

In addition to UConn football, the stadium also played host to a pair of Bruce Springsteen concerts on Sept. 16 and 18, 2003, a concert by the Rolling Stones on Aug. 26, 2005 and the Police on July 31, 2007. It also served as the home of the annual Governors’ Cup High School All-Star game between Connecticut and Rhode Island and now the Military Bowl/Super 100 Game, which matches the top high school seniors in the state of Connecticut. Rentschler Field has played host to college lacrosse games while international rugby matches have been played in the summers of 2004, ’05 and ‘08.

The facility has become a mainstay in soccer. An exhibition soccer game between the British teams of Liverpool and Glasgow Celtic was played on July 26, 2004; an exhibition women’s soccer match between the United States and China on Aug. 1, 2004; a men’s World Cup qualifying match between the United States and Trinidad and Tobago was played on Aug. 17, 2005; the United States men’s national team playing their final tuneup before 2006 World Cup against Latvia on May 28, 2006; an exhibition women’s soccer match between the United States and Norway on July 14, 2007; a World Cup sendoff match between the United States and the Czech Republic on May 25, 2010; an exhibition women’s soc-cer match between the United States and Sweden on July 17, 2010; an CONCACAF Gold Cup doubleheader (United States vs. Costa

There is a display on the history of the site as an airfield in the stadium.

The “original” Rentschler Field was dedicated on May 24, 1931. The company air field served as a base for experimental flight tests of airplanes, engines and propellers and was also used for ser-vicing and overhauling engines. In later years the airfield was used for general aviation for United Aircraft Corporation — now United Technologies Corporation. The field was de-commissioned as an active airport in the 1990s.

In February of 2011, Whalers Hockey Fest was held at Rentschler Field as an ice rink was set up on the surface. The ten-day event hosted numerous hockey games, including a doubleheader which featured both the UConn men’s and women’s ice hockey teams.

Rentschler Field also served as the home of the Hartford Colonials of the United Football League in 2009 and ’10.

UConn received the Governor’s Leadership Award in December of 2003 for its efforts in the first year of play at Rentschler Field. The annual award is given to an individual or group that had done an outstanding job in bringing togeth-er a wide spectrum of people and resources to bear on a significant development issue in Connecticut. UConn was cited for working hard to assure that Rentschler Field was a significant economic resource for the greater Hartford region and a point of pride for the high qual-ity of life in the area that business leaders seek.

The 75-acre site for the sta-dium was donated by United Technologies and sits on a for-mer airfield — Rentschler Field — which opened in 1931 and saw the

2014 UCONN FOOTBALL

HUSKY HERITAGE SPORTS MUSEUM

T he sights and sounds of more than a century of intercollegiate athletics com-

petition come alive during a visit to the J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum.

Located in the UConn Alumni Center in the heart of the University of Connecticut’s main campus in Storrs, the Husky Heritage Sports Museum is the ultimate library documenting the wide-ranging successes of Connecticut’s athletic programs.

The state-of-the-art design and layout of the 2,700 square foot Husky Heritage Sports Museum, named after benefactor and 1940 Connecticut basketball and foot-ball captain J. Robert (Bob) Donnelly (shown above with wife M.J.), vividly captures all of the energy, excitement and enthusiasm that is associated with “Huskymania”. Donnelly passed away on Sept. 26, 2005.

The visitors’ UConn experience begins with the University of Connecticut “National Champions” Gallery. This unique museum addition, located in the entrance foyer of the Husky Heritage Sports Museum, was unveiled in December of 2004 and will serve as a permanent tribute to all University of Connecticut varsity teams that climbed to the mountaintop and earned the right to be called National Champions.

Currently, a total of 17 national champion squads, representing four different UConn sports, have team photos and national championship logos on display in the National Champions gallery.

Included in the National Champions Gallery is the unbeaten 1948 men’s soccer team of Coach John Squires, the 1981 and 1985 UConn women’s field hockey teams of Coach Diane Wright, the 2013 field hockey team of Coach Nancy Stevens, the 1981 men’s soccer team of Coach Joe Morrone, the 2000 men’s soccer team of Coach Ray Reid, the eight national championship women’s basketball teams of Coach Geno Auriemma (1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014), the 1999, 2004 and 2011 UConn men’s basketball teams of Coach Jim Calhoun, and the 2014 UConn men’s basketball team of Coach Kevin Ollie.

Upon entering the Husky Heritage Sports Museum, visitors are greeted by a full figure statue of Jonathan, the legendary mascot of all Husky athletic teams.

Oversized banners proudly hang from the ceiling, displaying action images that feature 88 of Connecticut’s All-American stars representing 17 different intercol-legiate sports.

A tour of the various sections of the Husky Heritage Sports Museum is a walk down memory lane for long-time followers of Connecticut athletics. For fans just becoming acquainted with UConn’s tradition of excellence, the various themes and areas of the museum, when woven together, narrate a complete and compelling sport-by-sport story line. The growth and development of Connecticut athletics is traced via text, photographs and select artifacts from its humble beginnings in the 1890s to its present day ranking among the elite major college athletic programs in the nation.

Included among the “must see” memorabilia in the Husky Heritage Sports Museum main concourse are the 1981 and 2000 NCAA National Championship

Men’s Soccer trophies; the 1981 and 1985 NCAA National Championship Women’s Field Hockey trophies; the 1950s era baseball gloves belonging to Connecticut’s three Dropo brothers-including Walt Dropo’s first baseman’s mitt when he was the American League Rookie of the Year with the Boston Red Sox in 1950; the 1935 Ramnapping Trophy, awarded annually to the winner of the Connecticut-Rhode Island football game; a 1931 football signed by the entire Connecticut squad; team photos of Connecticut’s first men’s (1901) and women’s (1902) basketball squads; and the Waterford Crystal NCAA National Championship trophies won by UConn Women’s Basketball (1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014) and UConn Men’s Basketball (1999, 2004, 2011, 2014).

The pinnacle achievement of UConn’s 13 NCAA National Championships in both men’s and women’s basketball is preserved and promoted in a unique circular sanctuary–the Connecticut Basketball Rotunda, a gift of Herb and Marcia Dunn.

Championship trophies and related artifacts that chronicle UConn’s men’s and women’s national titles are prominently featured in the rotunda, as are life-size cutouts of Husky All-American stars Ray Allen and Rebecca Lobo. Celebratory paint-ings of head coaches Jim Calhoun and Geno Auriemma are on display along with a one-of-a-kind watercolor team photo of the 25-member UConn Men’s Basketball All-Century team.

Also within the Husky Heritage Sports Museum experience is a video wall featuring a 65-inch high definition television. Visitors can view numerous historical moments in UConn history as captured on a variety of highlight films and docu-mentaries.

Each display case of memorabilia and every historical photograph located within the walls of the J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum describe a por-tion of a truly remarkable story.

That story of the teams, the coaches, and student-athletes who have been part of the rich history that constitutes the University of Connecticut athletic experience is now being told on a daily basis at UConn’s Husky Heritage Sports Museum.

In addition, there is a display on the history of football at UConn – from its starts in 1897, to its time in Division I-AA and now as a team that has played in a Bowl Championship Series game.

The J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum is open free of charge to the general public during regular business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) of the UConn Alumni Center.

Since the Husky Heritage Sports Museum opened in January of 2002, several important artifacts have been donated from UConn loyalists to help expand the scope of the Connecticut Athletics storyline.

The University of Connecticut Division of Athletics continues to seek additional memorabilia/artifacts to help expand the story of the UConn Huskies. Anyone wish-ing to donate specific Connecticut Athletics items to the J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum should contact: Tim Tolokan, Phone: (860) 486-1500, e-mail: [email protected].

Celebrating his 47th year in broadcasting, Norman began covering Connecticut Athletics as a UConn student in the mid-60’s and has since called close to 1,400 UConn athletic events. He has been UConn’s radio analyst for football and basketball since 1981. A member of the broadcast staff at WILI Radio (Willimantic, Conn.) since 1970, Norman continues his role as sports director, program director and morning personality at WILI, a station which is part of the UConn IMG Radio Network for foot-ball and basketball. He is the longest tenured morning man in the state, working mornings at WILI since November 1, 1971.

The former Division III All-America defensive back at Dickinson College has been sports director at NBC Connecticut since 1997. He has been voted the Connecticut Sportscaster of the year by his peers for six of the past eight years.

Joyce will begin his 12th season as part of the broadcast team and after serving many years as the network coordinator in the studio, he is currently the pre and post game host.
