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 college or university athletic project in the nation to earn the designation.

The American Athletic Conference

I n the course of its first two seasons, the

American Athletic Conference has taken a place at the forefront of intercollegiate athletics, earning a collection of national team and individual championships and football postseason wins that place The American among the elite Division I conferences.

The American consists of 12 prestigious institutions: UCF, Cincinnati, East Carolina, UConn, Houston, Memphis, Navy (football only), USF, SMU, Temple, Temple

and Tulsa. Under the leadership of commissioner Mike Aresco, a UConn law school graduate and Middletown, Conn., native, the American Athletic Conference has written an impressive list of accomplishments, both in and out of the competitive arena.

The league has produced three NCAA championship teams – UConn men’s basketball in 2014 and UConn women’s basketball in 2014 and 2015 – and two individuals who have won NCAA titles. Additionally, American Athletic Conference teams have advanced to the College World Series, the semifinal and final rounds of the NIT and the match play round of the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship. Half of the conference’s baseball-playing members reached the NCAA Championship in 2015, while The American had the best men’s basketball postseason record of any conference in 2014, when conference teams were a combined 13-4. Teams from The American have registered top-10 national rankings in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s soccer and men’s golf.

The American is quickly making its mark in professional sports as well, beginning with the selection of the No. 3 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. More recently, a number of American Athletic Conference athletes have been selected in the first round of the professional entry drafts in football, basketball, baseball and soccer.

UConn’s Cyle Larin was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 Major League Soccer SuperDraft as he was chosen by Orlando City SC. UConn’s Sergio Campbell went at No. 19 to the Columbus Crew as the third pick from the conference in the first round.

In the 2015 NFL Draft, UConn’s Byron Jones was one of two American performers selected consecutively in the first round Jones to the Dallas Cowboys at No. 27. It was the second straight year in which The American had at least two first-round selections.

UConn’s Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis was selected by the Seattle Storm with the No. 3 pick in the 2015 WNBA Draft, while UConn’s Kiah Stokes went 11th overall to the New York Liberty.

In football, two American Athletic Conference football teams were ranked in the top 15 of the final 2013 Associated Press poll. Six of the 12 teams that compete in The American in 2015 played in bowl games to cap the 2014 season.

The American Athletic Conference holds media rights partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports which give the conference outstanding national exposure on the two industry leaders in sports television. The football portion of the contract 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 Dec. 5, 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, while the conference announced a multi-year agreement with CBS Sports Network for coverage of select baseball games.

committee’s final ranking. Otherwise, the league would place its champion in either the Vizio Fiesta Bowl or the Chick-fil-A 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.

Additionally, The American holds primary or secondary partnerships with 12 bowls for the current 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 membership 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 accommodate 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 reaching their educational goals while they compete in intercol-legiate athletics.

UConn head football coach Bob Diaco and his entire staff are fully committed to the holist development of the student-athletes involved in the UConn football program. They meet weekly with Ellen Tripp, Associate Athletic Director of Academic Support, to receive information regarding the student-athletes and their aca-demic progress.

CPIA counselors function as liaisons between the athletic and academic communities. Our academic counselors work closely with coaches, faculty and a variety of campus resources in order to help facilitate students’ successful transition into college life by institut-ing academic support programs, including counseling, pre-advising, tutorial, life skills development, community outreach 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 individualized study halls. Study hall is an interactive environment where students meet with their tutors and work on their assignments in their respective courses.

STUDENT DEVELOPMENTUConn football student-athletes can enroll in two courses

during their freshmen and junior year dedicated to student develop-ment. The Freshmen Year Experience 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 academic and athletic demands and adjust to college life.

The primary goal of the Life Skills for Senior Year Experience 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 activities 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.

M att Balis is in his second year as UConn’s 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. 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.”

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.

Graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach Tony Dieppa works with Balis and the football team.

“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 mentally tougher.”

Uconn Sports Performance

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.

During the spring of 2015, UConn players visited the patients and staff of the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford and the students and teachers at Covenant Preparatory School in Hartford.

The UConn Division of Athletics and its community service program “Husky Reach” is committed to a wide variety of activities every year.

Through a generous donation by the SBM Foundation, UConn student-athletes participate in a variety of activities aimed at teaching the value of education, sportsmanship, integrity and teamwork.

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.

21UconnHUskies.com

Community Service

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 2013-14 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 & Head Athletic Trainer, Robert 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 the Director of Sports Medicine Dr. Deena Casiero in addition to Dr. Giselle Aerni and Dr. Matthew Hall. 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 UConn Health.

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 Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field and at The Burton Family Football Complex within the Marziali Family Training Room. The Department of Sports Medicine has incor-porated the SwimEX technology to develop a 2,300 square-foot hydrotherapy room for reha bilitation and conditioning at The Burton Family Football Complex. Both facilities have 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 NutritionN

utrition is a key part of the plan for success of the UConn foot-ball 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 players 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. The members of the sport nutri-tion team provide information regarding nutrition 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 performance-based menu options and to set up the training. Menu recommendations have been developed for the team during road trips and performance nutrition directives are in place for competitive performance and optimal recovery.

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 maximum performance.


UConn Football Alumni

A s University of Connecticut football continues its 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 call 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.

UConn Football And Walk-OnsW

ith the limited number of scholarships each NCAA member is allowed and the highly competitive nature of high school recruit-ing 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.

While the recruiting process of future Huskies certainly has focus on scholarship student-athletes, Coach Diaco and his staff also work on recruiting preferred walk-ons out of the high school and prep school ranks. Diaco wants part of the culture of his program to be these walk-ons earning their way onto the two-deep and some of them eventually earning scholarships.

Prior to the 2014 season, Diaco awarded walk-ons defensive back Chris DeBerry, deep snapper Dominick Manco and punter Justin Wain a scholarship while offensive lineman Brendan Vechery was awarded one before this season.

There are many UConn walk-on success stories from over the years.

Punter Cole Wagner, who graduated in 2013, 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 let-ters 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 invalu-able 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 offen-sive guard and earned All-BIG EAST hon-ors 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.

Chris Pavasaris joined the team in 2003 and emerged as the starting 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 recep-tion 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 Justin Wain was awarded a scholarship by Coach Bob Diaco prior to the 2014 season and was the team’s starting punter last year and is slated to be again in 2015.

Defensive back Chris DeBerry was awarded a schol-arship last year as a senior and is now a graduate assistant coach for the Huskies.

2015 UCONN FOOTBALL

2015 SEASON PREVIEW

U Conn head football coach Bob Diaco has examined, analyzed

and touched every facet of the Husky football program since being named to his position in December of 2013.

While the on-field record of UConn in 2014 did not match the expectations that Diaco has for the future of the program, incredible progress has been made by the team as the 2015 season approaches, which should give all Husky fans great optimism and hope.

UConn returns a total of 38 lettermen with 17 on offense, 19 on defense and two on special teams. Six starting positions return on offense while the defense has a vetran squad with seven starters back from last year in addition to both the punter and the kicker.

The 2015 schedule is a challenging one with the American Athletic Conference divided into divisions – the Huskies being in the East. The Huskies are joined in the East by Cincinnati, East Carolina, Temple, UCF and USF and will all play these teams. UConn will play Navy, Tulane and Houston in cross-division games.

The American will hold its first-ever conference championship game on Saturday, Dec. 5 at the home venue of the division cham-pion with the best record.

In addition to the demanding American schedule, the Huskies face four outstanding non-conference teams in Villanova (advanced to FCS quarterfinals in 2004); Army (beat the Huskies last year at Yankee Stadium), Missouri (won the Citrus Bowl last year and played in the SEC Championship Game) and BYU (played in the Miami Beach Bowl and will be the longest regular-season road trip in UConn history).

THE OFFENSEChandler Whitmer has graduated after starting eight games

at quarterback last season. Redshirt sophomore Bryant Shirreffs (Jefferson, Ga.) was the leader in that position following spring prac-tice according to Diaco with junior Tim Boyle (Middlefield, Conn.) pushing him.

Shirreffs is a transfer from North Carolina State with three years of eligibility remaining while Boyle has started seven games over the past two years.

Junior Garrett Anderson (Walnut Creek, Calif.), a junior college transfer, and freshman Tyler Davis (Bellmore, N.Y.) are the Huskies’ other QBs.

The Huskies enjoy great depth at running back with four expe-rienced returnees, all of whom should find their way into the lineup this season.

Sophomore Ron Johnson (Naples, Fla.) was the team’s leading rusher last year and rushed for 101 yards in the season-finale vs. SMU. Redshirt senior Max DeLorenzo (Berlin, Conn.) is a returning veteran along with redshirt sophomore Josh Marriner (Chesapeake, Va.) and sophomore Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn.).

Newsome started in two games last season and was also UConn’s primary kickoff returner. DeLorenzo has 811 yards of career rushing.

The Huskies lost leading-receiver Geremy Davis to graduation as the New York Giants made him a sixth-round pick in the NFL Draft.

This year’s wide receiver rotation will include juniors Noel Thomas (Norwalk, Conn.) and Dhameer Bradley (New Castle, Del.) leading the way with junior Brian Lemelle (Harrisburg, Pa.) and redshirt sophomore Thomas Lucas (Silver Springs, Md.) also in the mix.

Thomas is the leading returning receiver on the team with 26 receptions in 2015 – four of them for TDs.

The Huskies have a solid combination at tight end with redshirt sophomore Tommy Myers (Coventry, Conn.) and sophomore Alec Bloom (Ligonier, Pa.). Bloom played in 11 games last year as a true freshman and had a TD reception vs. Boise State while Myers also saw his first collegiate action with appearances in all 12 games and one start.

Jazzmar Clax returns at fullback for the Huskies after playing in all 12 games last year and starting in five of them. He caught passes in five different games.

The offensive line has three of five start-ers back with senior right guard Tyler Samra (Wycoff, N.J.) and redshirt junior Richard Levy (Trenton, N.J.) at left tackle – both of which started all 12 games. Redshirt junior Andreas Knappe (Silkeborg, Denmark) start-

2015 HUSKIES ARE EXCITED TO

TAKE THE FIELDAND SHOW THEIR IMPROVEMENT

Senior right guard Tyler Samra started all 13 games last season as the Huskies have three returning starters on the offensive line in 2015.

Redshirt senior running back Max DeLorenzo has played in 33 games over the past three years with 811 career yards of rushing.

2015 SEASON PREVIEWed seven games last year and is at right tackle.

The left guard spot will be manned by redshirt sophomores Tommy Hopkins (Hawthorne, N.Y.) or Brendan Vechery (Ashburn, Va.). Sophomore Ryan Crozier (Plantation, Fla.) secured the starting center spot during spring ball, but will now miss the entire season with an injury. Redshirt fresh-man Daniel Oak (Fort Myers, Fla.) and red-shirt junior Kyle Bockeloh (Houston, Texas) will now be the candidates for that position.

DEFENSEThe Huskies loose four starters from last

year’s defense, including cornerback Byron Jones, who was a first-round NFL Draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys. In addition, departed defensive end B.J. McBryde was a free agent signee of the Philadelphia Eagles.

UConn has two of four starters back on the defensive line in redshirt seniors Kenton Adeyemi (Wethersfield, Conn.) and Julian Campenni (West Pittson, Pa.) Adeymi, an end, started 11 games last season while Campenni started all 12 and has 25 career starts.

Redshirt sophomore Cole Ormsby (Windsor, Conn.) will work with Adeymi at defensive end while Campenni is backed up by red-shirt junior Mikal Myers (Newburg, N.Y.).

Redshirt sophomore Folorunso Fatukasi (Far Rockaway, N.Y.) came out of spring practice first on the two-deep at the other defen-sive tackle spot followed by redshirt freshmen Sheriden Lawley (Abbotsford, B.C.) and James Atkins (Saugus, Mass.).

Sophomore Luke Carrezola (Langhorne, Pa.), who played in six games last year as a true freshman, is at the other defensive end spot followed by redshirt sophomore Cameron Stapleton (Staten Island, N.Y.).

During games, UConn’s two defensive ends are aligned in a linebacker spot.

The Huskies also return two of their three traditional linebackers in redshirt seniors Graham Stewart (Durham, Conn.) and Marquise Vann (Cincinnati, Ohio). Vann has started all 12 games for UConn last year (15 career) and led the Huskies with 105 tackles, including seven for a loss. Stewart was third on the team in tackles with 94, including 10.5 for a loss.

Sophomore Vontae Diggs (Downers Grove, Ill.), who played in all 12 games last year, and redshirt junior Omaine Stephens (East Orange, N.J.) backup Stewart. Junior Matthew Walsh (Madison, Conn.) moved from fullback to linebacker last spring and backs up Vann.

The other linebacker spot after the spring game looked to be red-shirt sophomore Junior Joseph (Sinking Spring, Pa.), who was sixth last year in tackles, followed by redshirt junior Jon Hicks (Palmyra, Pa.).

Both starting safeties from last year return in redshirt junior Obi Melifonwu (South Grafton, Mass.) and redshirt senior Andrew Adams (Fayetteville, Ga.). Adams has 20 career starts, including all 12 games last year, and led the team with four interceptions and was second with 96 tackles. Melifonwu has 20 career starts and was fourth on the team in tackles last year with 75.

Redshirt senior Junior Lee (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and redshirt

junior Jordan Floyd (Bel Air, Md.) backup Adams. Redshirt fresh-man Anthony Watkins (Fort Meade, Md.) and redshirt junior Ellis Marder (Windermere, Fla.) are behind Melifonwu.

Redshirt junior Jhavon Williams (Delray Beach, Fla.) returns at one cornerback spot after starting all 12 games last year with 17 career starts. Williams was seventh on the Huskies in tackles last year with 38. He is backed up by sophomore Brice McAllister (East Longmeadow, Mass.) and junior Javon Hadley (Miami, Fla.).

Sophomore Jamar Summers (East Orange, N.J.) was first on the two-deep at the other cornerback following the spring game as he played in all 12 games as a true freshman, starting the final five, with 22 tackles. He is backed up by redshirt junior John Green (Miami, Fla.) and Hadley.

SPECIAL TEAMSThe Huskies return all of their special team performers from last

year in redshirt junior kicker Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.) and redshirt junior punter Justin Wain (Wilmington, N.C.). Redshirt senior Dominick Manco (Lagraneville, N.Y.) returns at deep snapper.

Newsome and Lemelle both have experience in the return department during their career and ended the spring game on top of the two-deep in kickoff and punt returns.

Redshirt senior safety Andrew Adams has made 161 career tackle to go along with six interceptions.

Redshirt senior linebacker Graham Stewart started all 12 game last season and was third on the team in tackles – first in tackles for a loss.

HEAD COACH BOB DIACO

I n his first season as the head football coach at the

University of Connecticut in 2014, Bob Diaco has touched every facet of the program and has built a strong foundation for a championship future at UConn.

Diaco, who enters his second season with the Huskies in 2015, served on the Notre Dame coaching staff as the defensive coordinator from 2010-13 and the assistant head coach in 2012-13. He was named the 30th head football coach at UConn on December 12, 2013.

Diaco was the 2012 winner of the Frank Broyles Award, given to the top assistant college football coach in the country and 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

“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

Championship Game and posted an overall record of 12-1.

Diaco has an impressive coaching resume as he served at Virginia (2006-08) as the linebackers 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 from 2010-13, which ranked as the ninth-best average over that time 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 2.85 sacks per contest. Cincinnati’s defense allowed 3.6 rushing yards per

“ 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

HEAD COACH BOB DIACOcarry. 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 nationally 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 earlier 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 linebackers at Western Michigan in 2004. The punting, punt return and kickoff 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.

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

2015 UCONN FOOTBALL

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 second year as Assistant Head Football Coach at UConn and has position responsibilities with the tight ends in 2015. Last season, Patterson worked with the quarterbacks.

He and 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 graduate 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 championship with Patterson and Diaco on the sidelines.

Patterson served as the quarterbacks coach and recruiting coordinator at Buffalo from 2010-13 before coming to UConn. 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, leading 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 appearances 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.

FRANK VERDUCCI

Frank Verducci, a 31-year vet-eran of the coaching profession with experience in both college football and the NFL, is in his first season as the offensive coordinator at UConn this fall and has position responsibility with the Husky running backs.

The 2015 National Football League draft marked Verducci’s third time developing a first round draft

choice, as Florida’s D.J. Humphries was selected with the 22nd pick by the Arizona Cardinals. Verducci was the run game coordinator and offensive line coach in 2011 at Florida and helped lead the Gators to a 24-17 win over Ohio State in the Gator Bowl.

Previously, Frank developed first round selections Ross Verba (’95 Green Bay Packers) at Iowa and Zac Martin (’14 Dallas Cowboys) at Notre Dame. Verba became the first rookie to start at left tackle in the Super Bowl, while Martin was voted to the Pro Bowl after his initial campaign. During Verducci’s 10 seasons as a FBS offensive line coach, 36 of his offen-sive linemen were either drafted or signed with NFL franchises.

Verducci was the offensive line and run game coordinator at Notre Dame during the 2009 season as the Irish ranked eighth in the country in total offense at 451.75 yards per game. He coached six offensive linemen that made NFL rosters.

From 1999-2008, he spent ten years coaching in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals (1999-2001), Dallas Cowboys (2002), Buffalo Bills (2004-05) and the Cleveland Browns (2007-08).

Developing outstanding young linemen carried over to Verducci’s 10 seasons in the NFL. He coached Pro Bowl left tackles Jason Peters (Buffalo Bills) and Joe Thomas (Cleveland Browns) during their first two seasons as professionals. Verducci also coached former Pro Bowl center Andre Gurode during his rookie season in Dallas.

Successful running attacks have been a common theme over the course of Verducci’s collegiate coaching career. As Iowa’s run game coordinator (1995-98), the Hawkeyes’ single game (314), single season (1,691) and career (4,156) rushing records were eclipsed.

Prior to joining the UConn staff, Cummings was the offensive

coordinator at Central Michigan from 2010-13. During Cummings’ tenure at CMU, the school boasted one of the Mid-American Conference’s top offenses. Cummings had position responsibility 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 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 linemen 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 during 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 coordinator 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 recruiting coordinator at Western Michigan for three seasons.

Cummings’ career also includes stops at Eastern Michigan (defensive 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 is in his second year as the Defensive Coordinator at UConn in 2015 and has position responsibility with the safeties. He enjoyed a standout career as both a collegiate and NFL player.

Prior to joining the Husky staff, he was a member of the coaching staff at Virginia from 2003-2013. Poindexter and 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 second 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.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – BYU junior quarterback Taysom Hill threw for three touchdown passes and ran for another two as the Cougars defeated the University of Connecticut football team in the 2014 opener for both teams. The game was played before a crowd of 35,150 at Rentschler Field and was the debut for new UConn head coach Bob Diaco.

Hill completed 28 of 36 passes to nine receivers without an interception. He went 17 of 20 to lead the Cougars to a 28-7 halftime advantage, and was BYU’s leading rusher with 97 yards on 12 carries.

“He was resilient and methodical and 28 points in the first half was ideal and that was something I was hoping to see,” BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall said. The Cougars put up 513 yards of offense, 329 of that before intermission.

Husky sophomore Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) and senior Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) split quarterback duties and threw for a combined 284 yards. Cochran was 17 of 31 for 171 yards. He also threw an interception on the Huskies’ second drive deep in BYU territory. Whitmer was eight of 17 for 113 yards.

“That’s the point you’re at right now,” Diaco said, who played 50 players combined on offense and defense. “For the players to get better, they have to play in games.”

BYU got off to a quick start as Hill, who last year ran for more than 1,300 yards and passed for just under 3,000, capped the Cougars’ opening 15-play, 75-yard drive with a seven-yard run. He then found Mitch Mathews wide open over the middle from 26 yards out, after UConn fumbled on the Huskies’ first offensive play.

Hill danced away from pressure late in the first half and found Terenn Houk open to his left for a 35-yard touchdown catch-and-run that made it 28-7 at the half. The quarterback capped the game with a 26-yard touchdown run to complete a 90-yard, fourth-quarter drive that sent the fans to the exits.

Penalties slowed the game down as BYU committed 15 of them for 150 yards. UConn was flagged eight times for 90 yards.

A fumble by BYU’s Mathews at midfield led to UConn’s only touchdown. Whitmer led the Huskies on a six-play drive that ended with freshman redshirt Josh Marriner (Chesapeake, Va.) scoring from a yard out in the second quarter.

Redshirt sophomore Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.) made a 35-yard field goal for UConn in the fourth quarter.

The Huskies put together an 11-play drive to start the second half, but failed after faking a 40-yard field goal.

UConn’s top receiver, senior Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.), finished with seven catches for 96 yards. He spent some time in the fourth quarter in the locker room, but returned before the end of the game.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – University of Connecticut senior wide receiver Deshon Foxx (Lynchburg, Va.) had a 72-yard punt return a touchdown in the third quarter to help lead the Husky football team to a 19-16 win over Stony Brook on Saturday at Rentschler Field before a crowd of 23,543.

The win improves UConn to 1-1 on the season and gives Husky head coach Bob Diaco his first career college head coaching win. Stony Brook falls to 0-2 on the season.

UConn redshirt senior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) caught six passes for 113 yards and a 30-yard touchdown and moved into seventh place on the Huskies all-time receiving list with 1,980 career yards.

“It took us 10 weeks last year just to get one win,” Davis said. “A win is a win. These guys fought hard -- defense, offense and special teams.”

The Seawolves, from the powerful Colonial Athletic Association, led much of the first half and trailed just 12-10 at halftime.

Foxx gave UConn a 19-10 lead in the third quarter when he grabbed a 61-yard Luke Allen punt that had bounced over his head, turned left, then reversed field and found a seam down the middle.

“He definitely outkicked his coverage,” Foxx. “I got a lucky bounce and when I was turning around I noticed that I had a whole lot of field to work with, so I just did what I can do and I had great blockers.”

Stony Brook, which outgained UConn 300 yards to 223, put together a 14-play, 88-yard drive in the fourth quarter, capped by a 14-yard touchdown pass from Conor Bednarski to Will Tye. The Seawolves failed to recover an onside kick and could not move the ball after getting in back in the final minute deep in their own territory.

UConn opened the game with a five-play, 40-yard drive that ended with a 42-yard field goal from redshirt sophomore Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.), who added a 27-yarder in the second quarter.

Stony Brook took a 7-3 first-quarter lead after a punt pinned UConn on its own one-yard line. Safety Max Martinez then stripped the ball and Naim Cheeseboro recovered in the end zone.

The Seawolves added another field goal late in the quarter after a UConn fumble, giving Stony Brook the ball at the Husky 20-yard line. The Huskies had just 63 yards of offense before putting together a 70-yard drive late in the second quarter that put UConn up to stay.

Redshirt senior quarterback Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) found Davis in the right corner of the end zone for a 30-yard touchdown pass. The extra point was blocked. Whitmer completed 12 of 27 passes for 142 yards. He also was the Huskies leading rusher with 52 yards on 13 carries.

UConn was also helped by its kicking game. Puyol’s first field goal was the longest of his career and redshirt freshman punter Justin Wain (Wilmington, N.C.) averaged 41.8 yards on nine punts. Stony Brook was forced to start six second-half drives inside its own 20-yard line.

“The team today showed a lot of grit and grind,” said Diaco. “Our brotherhood shined through. Our culture shined through.”

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Boise State quarterback Grant Hedrick threw two touchdown passes to wide receiver Matt Miller and caught one from the senior WR on a trick play as Boise State beat the University of Connecticut football team 38-21 on Saturday before a crowd of 30,098 at Rentschler Field.

The Huskies drop to 1-2 on the season while Boise improves their record to 2-1. The Broncos, who put up 676 yards of offense a week ago against Colorado State, were limited to 292 yards by the Husky defense. Boise State took advantage of UConn offensive miscues by scoring 14 points on turnovers.

The Broncos scored on a fumble recovery in the first quarter and an intercep-tion in the fourth. Boise held UConn to 48 yards rushing and sacked the Huskies quarterbacks eight times.

Boise State, which ran 89 plays a week ago (60 in the first half alone) had just 56 this week. They did not have an offense snap for the first eight minutes of the game, but by that time the Broncos were up 7-3.

UConn fumbled on its fifth play from scrimmage and Boise’s Tanner Vallejo picked the ball up in the backfield and ran untouched 31-yards for a touchdown.

Hedrick found Miller for a 35-yard score in the second quarter, and Miller returned the favor on a trick play a few minutes later, hitting Hedrick for a seven-yard touchdown after getting the ball on an end-around. Boise led at the half 21-10. UConn closed the gap to 24-21 in the third quarter. Shane Williams-Rhodes muffed a punt return and UConn redshirt sophomore linebacker Jon Hicks (Palmyra, Pa.) recovered. UConn redshirt senior quarterback Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) then found redshirt senior Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) for a 10-yard touchdown and hit freshman running back Arkeel Newsome for a two-point conversion (Ansonia, Conn.) to close it to 24-21 Boise.

Boise’s Jonathan Moxey made a key fourth-quarter interception at the UConn 37-yard line. That led to a nine-yard touchdown pass from Hedrick to Miller in the back of the end zone that made it 31-21.

Hedrick completed 19 of 27 passes for 233 yards and two scores. The Broncos got their second defensive score with four minutes left in the game when Donte Deayon ripped the ball and ran 50 yards down the right sideline for a score that made the final 38-21.

Whitmer drove UConn 83 yards for its first touchdown, finding senior wide receiver Deshon Foxx (Lynchburg, Va.) down the left sideline for a 48-yard recep-tion and hitting freshman tight end Alex Bloom (Ligonier, Pa.) over the middle for a 16-yard touchdown that gave the Huskies a 10-7 lead. Foxx finished with 107 yards receiving on six catches.

Boise State running back Jay Ajayi, who came in averaging 158 yards a game and nearly six yards a run, was held to just 39 yards on 18 carries.

TAMPA, Fla. – USF quarterback Mike White passed for 113 yards and a touchdown to lead the Bulls to a 17-14 win over the University of Connecticut football team before a rain-soaked announced crowd of 28,723. UConn falls to 1-3 on the season while USF is 2-2 and the game was the American Athletic Conference opener for both squads.

White threw 30 yards to Rodney Adams and Marlon Mack ran a yard for first-quarter touchdowns that provided USF’s defense with most of the help the Bulls needed to win. Chris Dunkley sacked Husky redshirt senior quarterback Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.), forcing a fumble that the USF cornerback recovered at the Huskies 19 to set up Mack’s TD for a quick 7-0 lead. White’s scoring pass to a wide-open Adams on fourth-and-10 made it 14-0 late in the opening quarter.

UConn closed the game to 14-7 just before the half as senior cornerback Byron Jones (New Britain, Conn.) returned an interception 70-yards for a touchdown with five seconds left. The intercepted pass glanced off the hands of Adams just before halftime. The UConn cornerback came close to stepping out of bounds as he crossed midfield on the runback, however the touchdown stood following a replay review. The game remained 14-7 until USF kicker Marvin Kloss hit what would become the game-winning score on a 19-yard field goal with 6:03 left in the game.

UConn pulled within three points on Whitmer’s 32-yard TD pass to senior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) with 1:19 remaining. USF recov-ered the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock.

It was another close game in a series USF leads 7-5. The last eight meetings have been decided by seven or fewer points, and neither team has scored more than 19 in the last five matchups. The Huskies managed just 41 yards and on 18 plays in the first half and finished with a season-low 145 yards overall – more than half coming on the drive that ended with Whitmer’s TD pass to Davis. UConn didn’t pick up its second first down of the night until freshman running back Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn.) broke a 16-yard run midway through the third quarter. Three plays later, Whitmer got his first completion.

Whitmer finished six of 10 for 88 yards and no interceptions. The TD pass to Davis extended the receiver’s streak of consecutive games with at least one catch to 30. A week after yielding 589 yards to North Carolina State, the USF defense limited UConn to 57 rushing and didn’t allow the Huskies offense to cross midfield until the final two minutes.

Mack rushed for 103 yards on 31 carries for the Bulls, and White completed 10 of 18 passes with one interception.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Senior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) had 80 yards of receiving with eight catches, but the University of Connecticut committed two key turnovers as Temple posted a 36-10 college football victory over the Huskies on Saturday by a 36-10 score before a crowd of 27,755 at Rentschler Field. UConn falls to 1-4 on the season and 0-2 in American Athletic Conference play while the Owls are 3-1 overall and 1-0 in the league.

Turnovers hurt the Huskies, as Temple scored on a 93-yard interception return on the opening drive of the game for the Owls only points of the first half as they led 7-3 at intermission. Temple opened the second half with three touchdowns in the span of 7:26 to take control of the game with a 28-3 lead. The Owls scored on an 11-yard fumble recovery for the third touchdown.

Freshman Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn.) had a 74-yard touchdown catch from redshirt senior Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.), who threw for 163 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown pulled the Huskies to within 28-10, but Temple added a safety and two fourth quarter field goals for the win.

“We’ve got to eliminate game-changing turnovers,” UConn head coach Bob Diaco said. “Sixteen uncontested points. Impossible to win, a pick-six, fumble recovery for a touchdown and safety.”

The Huskies seemingly had a touchdown out of halftime when redshirt junior Wilbert Lee (Brooklyn, N.Y.) recovered a muffed kickoff in the end zone, but a UConn offsides on the kickoff negated the play. Temple responded with quarter-back P.J. Walker ultimately finding Jalen Fitzpatrick, who finished with 108 yards receiving, for a 42-yard pass play and a 14-3 lead.

UConn controlled the Temple offense well in the first half. The Owls managed only 31 total yards in the first half on 21 plays and had one first down, but the Huskies couldn’t capitalize. Redshirt sophomore Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.) hit a 30-yard field goal in the final moments of the first half to trim the lead to 7-3 going into the half.

NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane football team, led by a stingy defense and the play of quarterback Nick Montana, defeated the University of Connecticut football team by a score of 12-3 on Saturday before a crowd of 23,076 at Yulman Stadium. Tulane improves to 2-4 on the season and 1-1 in American Athletic Conference play while the Huskies are 1-5 and 0-3.

UConn redshirt senior quarterback Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) was 17 of 24 for 141 yards and the Huskies took an early 3-0 lead on a career-long 44-yard field goal by redshirt sophomore Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.).

Tulane gained 167 yards on the ground, led by Sherman Badie’s 77 yards on 14 carries. Montana completed 19 of 26 passes for 135 yards in his first start this season. Montana was Tulane’s starter a season ago as a junior, helping the Green Wave to a 7-6 record and its first bowl bid in more than a decade. He played with an injured throwing shoulder that season and in August, he lost his job to redshirt freshman Tanner Lee. Lee injured his shoulder vs. Rutgers two weeks ago.

Montana hit his first four passes for 53 yards, including a 21-yarder over the middle, and his seven-yard scoring strike to Charles Jones to make it 7-3. Tulane took a 9-3 lead when defensive end Tyler Gilbert surged into the backfield and cut down UConn for a safety – a play set up by Peter Picerelli’s 38-yard punt to the UConn one-yard line.

Green Wave freshman kicker Andrew DiRocco, who missed four of five field goal attempts entering the game, hit a career-long 38-yarder in the fourth quarter to make it 12-3. That field goal attempt was possible after Montana spun away from what looked like a certain third-down sack, rolled right and threw back across his body for a 10-yard, first-down completion to Justyn Shackleford.

All three of UConn’s turnovers occurred in Tulane territory. In the second quarter, Doss intercepted a UConn third-down pass on the Tulane 38. Later in the quarter, Monroe ripped the ball away from a Husky runner as the pair went to the ground on the Tulane 30.

Down 7-3 in the middle of the third quarter, UConn was in field goal range, but Tulane once again recovered a fumble by Monroe.

GREENVILLE, N.C. – Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) was 18 of 30 for a season-high 303 yards with two tying touchdown passes in the third quarter after rushing for a short score for the Huskies, but No. 18 East Carolina used a strong fourth quarter – and another huge performance from Shane Carden – to pull away from the UConn football team, 31-21.

Carden threw for a season-high 445 yards – his seventh career 400-yard perfor-mance – on 38-of-64 passing, and Breon Allen ran for two touchdowns.

They helped the Pirates (6-1, 3-0 American Athletic Conference) sidestep a major upset bid by underdog UConn (1-6, 0-4) in East Carolina’s first prime-time, weeknight showcase game in its new league.

Warren Harvey kicked the go-ahead 31-yard field goal with 6:15 left, Carden threw touchdown passes of 13 yards to Justin Hardy and 10 yards to Bryce Williams, and Allen scored on runs of 1 and 9 yards.

“There are no moral victories,” first-year UConn coach Bob Diaco said. “We didn’t come here to play well. We came here to win a football game, and we didn’t.”

Carden started the Pirates’ go-ahead drive with a 30-yard throw to Hardy one play before Allen’s 23-yard run to the 12. When that drive stalled, Harvey – who earlier missed from 33 yards – kicked his field goal to make it 24-21.

East Carolina forced a three-and-out, got the ball back with 5:22 left and ran most of the clock before Allen iced it with his 9-yard scoring run with 1:25 remaining.

Whitmer’s 32-yard TD to Noel Thomas (Norwalk, Conn.) made it a 14-all game. His 88-yard catch-and-run to Deshon Foxx (Lynchburg, Va.) – after cor-nerback Josh Hawkins whiffed on the coverage – pulled UConn to 21-all with 3:43 left in the third.

The first came when Hardy laid out in the end zone to catch his TD. Carden’s scoring pass to Williams made it 14-0 not even 10 minutes in.

Whitmer countered with a short scoring plunge on fourth-and-goal from the East Carolina 1 on the next possession.

Thomas had a career day with three receptions for 57 yards, while Foxx finished with 120 receiving yards for his fourth-career 100-yard day. Jefferson Ashiru (Powder Springs, Ga.) led UConn with 11 tackles, and Andrew Adams (Fayetteville, Ga.) and Marquise Vann (Cincinnati, Ohio) each made 10 stops.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Senior Deshon Foxx (Lynchburg, Va.) ran for 102 yards and a score and sophomore wide receiver Noel Thomas (Norwalk, Conn.) caught two touchdown passes to lead the University of Connecticut football team to a 37-29 Homecoming victory over UCF on Saturday before a soggy crowd of 28,751 at Rentschler Field.

The win improves UConn’s record to 2-6 overall and 1-4 in the American Athletic Association while the Knights fall to 5-3 overall and 3-1 in the league.

The win snapped a five-game losing streak for UConn and was the first confer-ence loss for UCF, which had won 11 straight since the inception of the AAC last year.

Sophomore running back William Stanback had a career-high 141 yards rush-ing and two touchdowns for UCF.

Quarterback Justin Holman threw for 284 yards and two scores. but he also threw four interceptions, three of them to UConn redshirt junior safety Andrew Adams (Fayetteville, Ga.).

Foxx, who normally plays wide receiver, ran the Huskies option package, car-rying the ball 11 times, including a 68-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 7-7 with 12:22 to go in the second quarter. UConn had not scored more than 21 points in a game this season.

The win capped an emotional homecoming for UConn, which unveiled a memorial at halftime to Jasper Howard, a cornerback who tragically passed away in 2009.

The Huskies went three-and-out on their first five drives and had been out-gained 113 yards to 19 before Foxx’s first carry in the second quarter.

He sprinted 68 yards down the left sideline to tie the game at seven and his 20-yard run in the fourth quarter helped the Huskies to a 37-21 lead.

Thomas caught a 38-yard touchdown pass in the first half and had a 22-yard catch in the third quarter that gave UConn a 10-point lead. UCF’s Stanback had 73 yards in the first quarter and 108 yards by halftime. He scored on a three-yard run to make it 7-0, and a one-yard plunge that gave the Knights a 14-7 lead.

The Huskies took their first lead at 17-14 when redshirt sophomore kicker Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.) hit a 38-yarder at the end of the first half. That was set up by an interception and 43-yard return by Adams.

UCF took the lead back in the third quarter when J.J. Worton caught a pass from Holman in the middle of the field, cut back to his right and outran the UConn defense for a 73-yard touchdown. The Huskies responded with a 79-yard drive, scoring on a fourth-down run from freshman Ron Johnson (Naples, Fla.), the first of his two scores. His second was a two-yard run that put the Huskies up by 16 points after a missed extra point.

BRONX, N.Y. – With Army clinging to a 28-21 lead, Black Knight Chris Carnegie returned his second interception of the day 99 yards up the left sideline for a touchdown to lift his team to a 35-21 win over UConn before a crowd of 27,453 at Yankee Stadium. The Huskies fall to 2-7 on the season while Army is 3-6.

UConn pulled to within 28-21 with 2:06 to go, recovered the onside kick, and marched all the way to the six-yard line before Carnegie picked off a pass of senior quarterback Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) at the one and ran it all the way back to clinch it.

Whitmer had two touchdowns on 19-of-31 passing for 171 yards and added another score on the ground for the Huskies. Army quarterback Angel Santiago ran for 97 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries to lead a balanced rushing attack. The Black Knights never trailed but almost faced overtime before Carnegie’s clutch pick-six.

Joe Walker added two touchdowns on the ground for the Black Knights, who racked up 327 rushing yards to break a three-game losing streak.

Whitmer didn’t get hot until late. Facing fourth-and-six with 12:54 left in the game, UConn stayed alive when Whitmer found redshirt junior tight end Sean McQuillan (Glastonbury, Conn.) over the middle for a 16-yard touchdown to pull to within 21-14.

Army responded on third-and-goal with 4:22 remaining, when Santiago barely broke the goal line to go up 28-14. UConn cut it to 28-21 with 2:06 left on Whitmer’s one-yard completion to sophomore Noel Thomas (Norwalk, Conn.).

Freshman Jamar Summers (East Orange, N.J.) recovered the onside kick for UConn when Army’s A.J. Schurr couldn’t secure it. Whitmer then broke loose for 26 yards on the opening play of the drive and picked up another first down two plays later with 1:20 to go.

The nation’s No. 5 rushing offense, Army’s crafty triple option had no trouble against UConn’s 27th-best rushing defense. Some timely conversions and lengthy drives were a potent mix for Army, which pushed ahead by two touchdowns on the opening drive of the second half. Following its second fourth-down conversion from inside the six-yard line, Army went up 21-7 midway through the third on a pitch to Walker, who turned the corner for a two-yard touchdown.

The Black Knights were back in UConn territory with 2:04 left in the first half when Santiago fumbled on a scramble. Redshirt freshman Junior Joseph (Sinking Spring, Pa.) recovered, giving the Huskies a crucial chance to get on the board before halftime. The Huskies didn’t waste the opportunity as Whitmer, back under center, found Thomas for a 26-yard pass to Army’s 32 before redshirt junior Max DeLorenzo (Berlin, Conn.), untouched through the middle, broke off a 26-yard run on his first carry.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Gunner Kiel passed for 161 yards and three touchdowns and Cincinnati’s defense held Connecticut to 129 total yards in a 41-0 shutout on Saturday night.

Cincinnati (7-3, 5-1 American) remained in the hunt for the conference cham-pionship, a half-game behind first-place Memphis (6-1) and tied with Central Florida (5-1). After Kiel’s touchdown pass to Johnny Holton early in the third quarter gave the Bearcats a 34-0 lead, Kiel gave way to backup Munchie Legaux. Rob Moore rushed for 108 yards and Mike Boone ran for 52 yards and a touch-down. Jeff Luc had 10 tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery for Cincinnati.

UConn’s offensive output was its lowest of the season. It was the first time UConn (2-8, 1-5) was shut out at home since Navy in 1978. Tim Boyle was 13 of 21 for 70 yards in his first start of the season.

Cincinnati took control early and, after an opening-drive interception by Kiel in the end zone, played flawlessly the rest of the half.

Kiel rebounded to toss a 6-yard pass to Nate Cole for a 7-0 lead on the second drive of the game. The Bearcats piled up 151 yards in the opening quarter to Connecticut’s 15.

Cincinnati took a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter on Mike Boone’s 3-yard rush from a direct snap.

Payne intercepted Chandler Whitmer’s pass at the UConn 25, and Kiel found Jake Golic for a 2-yard touchdown pass in the waning seconds of the first half for a 27-0 halftime lead.

“Three turnovers that all produced points,” UConn head coach Bob Diaco said. “Cincinnati averages 40 points a game anyway, and now they are playing on half a field with extra possessions? You got no chance.”

Cincinnati had a 248-9 edge in offense, forced two turnovers and held a 15-3 edge on first downs in the first half.

Cincinnati gave up 50, 41 and 55 in losses to Ohio State, Memphis and Miami, but played its finest game of the season on Saturday night.

MEMPHIS – Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch threw for 194 yards and four touchdowns as the Tigers defeated the University of Connecticut football team by a 41-10 score on Saturday before a crowd of 35,102 at the Liberty Bowl. Memphis improves to 9-3 on the season and clinches at least a share of the American Athletic Conference with a 7-1 record UConn is 2-9 and 1-6.

Memphis led 6-0 after the first quarter after a stingy Husky defense held the Tigers to field goals of 21 and 22 yards by Jake Elliot on goal line stands. Lynch connected twice with Keiwone Malone for scores, the first giving Memphis a 13-0 lead with 155 left in the first half.

UConn redshirt sophomore Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.) connected on a career-long 45-yard field goal with three seconds left in the first half to make it 13-3 Tigers.

The game remained 13-3 until midway through the third quarter and Memphis scored three touchdowns in the remainder of the quarter to take control of the game. Two of the three touchdowns were results of UConn turnovers that gave the Tigers the ball in UConn territory.

UConn scored its other points of the game on a 39-yard touchdown pass from sophomore Tim Boyle (Middlefield, Conn.) to freshman Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn.). The TD pass was the first of Boyle’s career and also the longest.

Boyle started his second game of the season and the sixth of his career. He was 12 of 24 in the air for 160 yards. Freshman Ron Johnson (Naples, Fla.) was UConn’s leading rusher with 22 carries for 67 yards while redshirt senior Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) had five receptions for 62 yards.

Brandon Hayes led Memphis in rushing with 60 yards while Malone finished seven receptions for 70 yards.

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.

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.

2015 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.

2015 UCONN FOOTBALL

PRESIDENT SUSAN HERBSTPRESIDENT

SUSAN HERBSTS

usan Herbst was appointed as the 15th President of the University of Connecticut by its Board of Trustees in December of 2010, and arrived on campus in June of 2011. She is the first female president of the University, which was founded in 1881.

Since that time, she has led multiple initia-tives to strengthen teaching, research and service at the University. Chief among them is her four-year plan, approved by the University’s Board of Trustees in December 2011, to hire 300 new tenured or tenure-track faculty members at UConn – above and beyond filling vacan-cies – to significantly enhance course offerings and the University’s research capability. The initiative has resulted in new faculty hires across multiple disciplines, including both the sciences and humanities, building on existing faculty strengths as well as investing in emerging fields.

President Herbst has also led the imple-mentation of two recent major state investments in UConn: Next Generation Connecticut and Bioscience Connecticut, both of which were passed by the Connecticut state legislature and signed into law by Governor Dannel P. Malloy in 2013 and 2011, respectively.

Next Generation Connecticut is a more than $1.5 billion endeavor that will expand educational opportunities, research, and innova-tion in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines at UConn over the next decade, as well as add new faculty in the humanities.

The cornerstone of this effort is a major increase in the University’s enrollment, the

expansion of our faculty – in addition to UConn’s current faculty hiring initiative – and new and updated facilities to accommodate enhanced STEM research and teaching, as well as UConn’s growing population. It also will support the academic missions, and the expan-sion of critical programs, at UConn’s Hartford and Stamford campuses.

Bioscience Connecticut is an $864 million initiative that is revitalizing the UConn Health enterprise, expanding enrollment in the medi-cal and dental classes, building new business incubators, creating centers of excellence with neighboring institutions, and more. Expansion plans include building a new world-class patient tower, an outpatient ambulatory center, and parking garages. Existing facilities will undergo major renovation, making room for updated infrastructure, state-of-the-art research laborato-ries, and modern educational spaces. Through Bioscience Connecticut, business incubator space at the University will double.

Additional prominent clinician-scientists will also be recruited to the faculty to contribute toward UConn Health’s academic, clinical, and research programs.

Bioscience Connecticut was critical to attracting The Jackson Laboratory to create a new billion-dollar personalized medicine laboratory on the UConn Health campus in Farmington as part of a new partnership with the University.

In addition, President Herbst announced in 2012 that UConn would relocate one of its regional campuses, currently located in suburban West Hartford, back to downtown Hartford, where it was initially located in 1939 before being moved out of the city in the 1970s.

In June 2014, it was announced that the new campus would be located and constructed

at the site of the former H a r t f o r d T i m e s building on P r o s p e c t Street. The $115 million project will house 2,300 students and 250 employees, and be designed as a neighbor-hood campus anchored by a main building in the heart of downtown with other spaces located throughout the area. Classes are expected to begin in fall 2017.

One of President Herbst’s other priorities is dramatically increasing the level of philan-thropic giving to UConn through the UConn Foundation. Along with Joshua Newton, who began as president of the UConn Foundation in 2013, she has set the goal of eventually raising at least $100 million in new gifts per year, with a long-term goal of reaching an endowment value of $1 billion.

Prior to her appointment at UConn, President Herbst served as executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer of the University System of Georgia, where she led 15 university presidents and oversaw the academic missions for all 35 public universities in Georgia. Before arriving in Georgia, she was provost and executive vice president at the University at Albany (SUNY), and also served as officer in charge of the university from 2006 to 2007, upon the death of Kermit L. Hall. She previ-ously served as the dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Temple University.

Born in New York City and raised in Peekskill, N.Y., Herbst received her B.A. in Political Science from Duke University in 1984, and her Ph.D. in communication theory and research from the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication in Los Angeles in 1989.

Herbst spent 14 years at Northwestern University, joining the faculty in 1989 and serving until her departure to Temple in 2003. At Northwestern she held a variety of positions including professor of political science and chair of the department.

She is a scholar of public opinion, media, and American politics, and is author of four books and many articles in these areas, most recently, Rude Democracy: Civility and Incivility in American Politics (2010). Along with Benjamin Page, Lawrence Jacobs, and Adam Berinsky, she edits the University of Chicago Press series in American Politics. She serves on the Board of Directors of the American Council on Education.

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.

UConn teams have won six NCAA national championships under Manuel’s watch - the most ever by Husky squads in three-year period.

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.

In 2014-15, the UConn field hockey team won their second-straight NCAA and the women’s basketball team won a third-straight NCAA title for a total of six national championships under Manuel’s watch. The women’s soccer team also played in the NCAA tournament, advancing to the second round, while men’s track and field, women’s swimming and diving and women’s cross country sent individuals to NCAA events.

Manuel led the completion of the $40 million fundraising effort for the construction of the Werth Family UConn Basketball Champions Center, which opened in the fall of 2014 and provides the Husky men’s and women’s program with a training, practice and academic services home. The facility is the first privately-funded building on the UConn campus and is named for Peter and Pamela Werth, who donated a total of $7 million to the building.

Manuel also helped to secure an $8 million gift, the largest in UConn athletic history, from former Husky men’s soccer student-athlete Tony Rizza for the building of a new state-of-the-art soccer stadium on campus.

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.

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 softball program.

The UConn Division of Athletics has enjoyed outstanding performanc-es in the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) under Manuel’s watch. 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. In 2015, UConn had 13 teams that posted a perfect single-season 1000 score.

The men’s basketball team has had APR scores of 978, 947, 1000 and 1000 in the past four 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.

In May of 2015, Manuel was named a winner of the Under Armour AD of the Year Award by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of America (NACDA).

Manuel led a 20-sport program at Buffalo and the Bulls enjoyed an unparalleled period of success during his time there from an athletic, aca-demic and community service perspective. 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 appear-ances in three of the his final 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.

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 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 uni-versity’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.

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 UConn football team made their football debut in the Big Apple last November when it played at Yankee Stadium while the men’s ice hockey team plays this season in Brooklyn. 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, 2005 and 2014 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 2015 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.

University of ConneCtiCUt AlmA mAter

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

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

“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.

UConn HuskySymbol of might to the foe.Fight, fight Connecticut, It’s victory, let’s go!Connecticut UConn Husky,Do it again for the white and blue,

So go, go, go, go, Connecticut,Connecticut U.C-O-N-N-E-C-T-I-C-U-T, ConnecticutConnecticut Husky, Connecticut Husky,Connecticut C-O-N-N-U. Fight!(Repeat first verse)

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” begins two-and-a-half hours before the game as the team busses pull up next to the Tan lot at Rentschler Field and the Huskies make their way to Gate B at the stadium.

fiGht sonG sinGAfter each game at Rentschler Field, the entire UConn football team goes to the student section and sings “UConn Husky” with their fellow classmates with the music of the UConn Marching Band.

2015 UCONN FOOTBALL


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 — Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field — happens to be both.

The Huskies are in their 12th season playing in the facility in 2014 and it was re-named Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in the summer of 2015 after being known as Rentschler Field since its opening in 2003. UConn and United Technologies Corporation, the parent company of Pratt & Whitney, have part-nered on a number of major projects. UTC funded construction of the UTC School of Engineering building at UConn and has endowed several professorships in engineering and computer sci-ence. In 2010, Pratt & Whitney established a Center of Excellence with the UConn School of Engineering to support research in the field of aviation propulsion systems.

Pratt & Whitney partnered with UConn in 2013 to establish one of the nation’s most advanced additive manufacturing labora-tories. And most recently, UTC committed $10 million to support the launch of the Institute for Advanced Systems Engineering at UConn to provide students opportunities to train in one of the

fastest growing fields in engineering. Over the years, UTC has hired thousands of UConn engineering graduates and has enabled hundreds of its employees to earn degrees from UConn through its Employee Scholar Program.

Pratt & Whitney Stadium At 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 in 2013 were a brand-new video board and ribbon boards that circle the stadium.

UConn has now played 78 games in the facility over the past nine seasons and has posted an impressive 50-28 record at Pratt & Whitney Stadium 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 Pratt & Whitney Stadium At Rentschler Field games, including a streak of 12 in a row. UConn has played to a 90 percent of capacity during its time there before a total of 2,553,771 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 endzone 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, UTC and the assistance from numerous public and private sector

organizations. The result of this cooperation 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 Pratt & Whitney Stadium At 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 Pratt & Whitney Stadium At Rentschler Field includes levels for suites, club seating and media/game man-agement 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 Pratt & Whitney Stadium At Rentschler Field includes nearly 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 country with seating for 125 media members in the main press area. There are also separate booths for television and radio broadcasts. That level also includes booths for coaching staffs, security, public address announcer, scoreboard operation and other gameday facilities.

The concourses at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field pro-vide generous, open and barrier-free circulation for entering and exiting the facility. The concourse also provides easy access to various concession and novelty stands and rest-rooms.

The stadium features state-of-the-art facili-ties 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, equipment area and medical training rooms.

There is also a spa-cious visiting team locker room area with similar amenities.

2015 UCONN FOOTBALL


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

All parking for the stadium is located within the footprint of the stadium site – which makes it unique for a college football facil-ity. In total, there are 10,600 parking spaces at the Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field site. Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field features 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 stadium project far outpaced the state’s requirements to help small, women and minority-owned companies grow with ongoing economic develop-ment. This means contractors and individuals that may never before

have been able to benefit from projects 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.

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

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 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; a CONCACAF Gold Cup doubleheader (United States vs. Costa Rica, Cuba vs. Belize) on July 16, 2013; an exhibition women’s soc-cer match between the United States and France on June 18, 2014; and a match between SL Benfica of Portugal and ACF Fiorentina of Italy.

The “original” Rentschler Field, an airfield which later saw the likes of Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart, was dedicated on May 24, 1931.

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 double-header 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 together 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 quality of life in the area that business leaders seek.

The 75-acre site for the stadium was donated by UTC and sits on a former airfield — Rentschler Field — which opened in 1931 and saw the likes of Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart. In addi-tion to the donation of the land for the stadium, UTC is allowing another 100 acres of its land to be used for gameday parking.

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.

A statue of the No. 6 was dedicated at Rentschler Field on November 1, 2014, in memory of Japser Howad, a UConn football player who passed away in 2009. Donations to build the statue came from former Husky players, coaches and fans.

Additionally, The American holds primary or secondary part-nerships with 12 bowls for the current six-year cycle, ensuring multiple annual matchups against the nation’s top conferences and providing desirable postseason destinations to member institutions and their fans.

UCONN IMG RADIO NETWORK

U niversity of Connecticut football is broadcast on the UConn IMG

Sports Radio Network with WTIC AM-1080 AM as the anchor of the network. UConn football is being heard on WTIC for the 24th-straight year and is the state’s only 50,000-watt AM station. The 2015-16 football and men’s and women’s basketball season marks the second year that the radio rights are held by IMG College, which is UConn’s multi-media rights partner.

Other stations joining WTIC on the UConn IMG Sports Radio Network in 2015, including long time affiliate WILI 1400-AM in Willimantic in addition to WELI 980-AM in New Haven and WGCH 1490-AM in Greenwich.

IMG College is the leading multimedia, marketing and licensing/ brand management company in America, representing more than 200 of the nation’s top collegiate properties including the NCAA and its 89 championships, NCAA Football, leading conferences, and many of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the country.

WTIC 1080-AM and other network stations will air the “Bob Diaco Show,” featuring UConn head coach Bob Diaco and broadcaster Joe D’Ambrosio during the season – typically on Thursday nights.

Veteran sportscasters D’Ambrosio and Wayne Norman will handle play-by-play and color commentary, respectively, for Husky football during the 2015 season. Kevin Nathan will once again provide sideline reports.

WTIC offers 10 hours of Husky football talk on home game Saturdays on the station’s powerful signal. Ray Dunaway, the popular host of WTIC’s morning drive, starts things off at 5:30 a.m. live on Saturdays from Rentschler Field.

Kevin Nathan and Bob Joyce host the “Tailgate Show” at 9:30 a.m., which runs for one hour followed by “UConn Football Magazine” with Joyce and newcomer Casey Cochran from 10:30 a.m. until kick-off. Joyce and Cochran also play host to a post-game call-in show after games.

D’Ambrosio will be calling UConn football and men’s basketball for the 24th-straight year. He also called UConn women’s basket-ball games from 1995 thru 1998 and again from 2000 thru 2006.

D’Ambrosio is also the play-by-play announcer for coverage of UConn baseball on WTIC, which has included several regular season games and postseason play.

He is an anchor at NBC Connecticut and has done play-by-play announcing for the New Britain Rock Cats minor league baseball team of the Eastern League. D’Ambrosio was named Connecticut Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association for the eighth time in 2014.

Celebrating his 48th year in broadcasting, Norman began cover-ing 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 mem-ber 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 football and basketball. He is the longest tenured morning man in the state, working mornings at WILI since November 1, 1971.

Nathan is in his 10th year as the sideline reporter and his 12th year overall on the broadcasts. 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 nine years.

Joyce is in his 13th season as part of the broadcast team and after serving many years as the network coordinator in the studio, he is cur-rently the pre and post-game host. Joyce, a Bloomfield High School graduate, has been part of the UConn women’s basketball broadcast team since the 2001-2002 season and has been the play by play voice of the women since the 2006-2007 season.

Cochran makes his radio debut this season as part of the network. Cochran played quarterback for the Huskies from 2012-14 with five starts, including a three-game winning streak at the end of the 2013 season. A standout high school performer in Connecticut, he was a two-time Gatorade State Player of the Year and holds the state record for passing yards and completions.
