The Connecticut Football

Philosophy

Bowl Games Connecticut has now played in a bowl game in four of the past six seasons, including three in a row, and has picked up victories in three of them. Bowl-eligibility is one of the goals of the Connecticut football program every year and Husky fans have helped develop UConn’s reputation into a school that “travels well”.

Community Service Community service is an integral part of the UConn football experience. Husky football student-athletes perform numerous hours of community service throughout the year by visiting children at local schools, hospitals and other activities. One of the key community service activities of the UConn football team is the “Goal Line Project” at the East Hartford Middle School. The UConn football program has adopted the school and student-athletes make frequent visits to the school to provide mentoring and inspiration both in academics and athletes. During the football season, members of the UConn football team spend Monday afternoons at the school working with students.

Academics Are The Priority Head coach Randy Edsall and his staff emphasizes academics from the time that the recruiting process begins until a student-athlete has earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Connecticut…and the numbers prove this point. UConn was the top BIG EAST team in the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate (GSR) survey in both October 2008 and ‘09. In the latest NCAA Academic Performance Rate (APR) results, UConn scored an impressive 949 over a four-year period. The UConn football program had the third-highest GSR for the more than 50 public universities that played in a bowl game following the 2009 season. Husky football student-athletes use the Herb and Marcia Dunn Academic Support Center in The Burton Family Football Complex to assist in their academic endeavors.

BIG EAST Champions Each and every year, the Connecticut football team expects to be a factor in the race for the BIG EAST Championship. That goal came to fruition in 2007 as the Huskies won the league title in just their fourth year as a member of the conference.

The Rentschler Field Advantage The UConn football team takes great pride in its winning percentage at Rentschler Field. Since the stadium opened, UConn has won nearly three-quarters of the games played there and has posted victories over teams from the BIG EAST, ACC, Big Ten and Big XII at Rentschler Field. Husky fans have responded with a 96 percent capacity mark since the stadium opened.

Staying In Touch With Alumni

Connecting With The Fans Husky fans have numerous opportunities to meet and greet the Husky coaching staff and players during the calendar year. Before each home game, UConn fans are encouraged to come to the “Husky Walk” as the team gets off the team buses and makes its way through a sea of Blue and White to their locker room. In February, all UConn season tickets holders and UConn Club members are invited to a “Signing Night Reception”, as head coach Randy Edsall and his staff gives a video presentation on the latest crop of National Letter of Intent signees. Several current Huskies attend that event and sign autographs during a reception. UConn players meet fans for autographs following the Blue-White Spring Football Game and after an open practice that is held each preseason.

Facilities The State of Connecticut and the University of Connecticut have committed the finest facilities in the nation to the Husky program. UConn plays its home games in the ultra-modern Rentschler Field, which opened in 2003 and remains one of the newest stadium used by a team in Bowl Championship Series Conference. The team also enjoys the modern amenities of The Burton Family Football Complex and the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center in Storrs. Both of these facilities opened in 2006 and provide Husky football players with a campus home that provides for all their needs.

National Leaders Running back Donald Brown became UConn’s first NCAA Statistical Leader in 2009 as he led the country in rushing years. The Huskies became eligible for the FBS Statistics in 2002 and have finished in the top 20 for total offense twice (2003 and ’04) and three times on defense (2002, ’05 and ’08).

Professional Football Former UConn players are in the National Football League in numbers that are unprecedented in school history. UConn had nine players on active NFL rosters in 2009 – the most ever in school history. In the 2009 NFL Draft, UConn had four selections in the first two rounds – including the Huskies’ first-ever First Round Draft Pick in Donald Brown, who went to the Indianapolis Colts and then played in the Super Bowl in his rookie campaign. As 2010 NFL training camps open up, there will be a minimum of 12 Husky players with teams. There were also seven former Huskies playing in the Canadian Football League in 2010.

The UConn football alumni are the roots of the excellence of the Husky program. UConn football alumni are more active and involved in the program than ever. For the past four seasons, former UConn head coaches and alumni have served as honorary coaches for the Blue-White Spring Football Game. In an effort to help members of UConn’s football team enhance their prospects for employment following college, the UConn football program sponsors a Career Information Fair twice a year. Football alumni are also invited to the field before home games to form a tunnel as the current Huskies come running out – a gesture that bonds generations of Husky players.

Strength and Conditioning The strength and conditioning program for UConn football players is among the most innovative in the nation and is coordinated by Jerry Martin – the school’s Strength and Conditioning Coordinator. Martin was the National Strength Coach of the Year in both 1994 and 2001. Husky players use the two-level, 18,000-square foot Polo Family Strength Center in the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center.

The Schedule Connecticut plays seven games against BIG EAST Conference opponents each year and then schedules a competitive slate of five nonconference games each season against a variety of opponents. UConn traveled to Notre Dame last year and posted a double-overtime win at Notre Dame Stadium. UConn opens the 2010 season at Michigan Stadium against the Wolverines as Michigan returns the trip to Rentschler Field in 2013. The Huskies will play a home-and-home series with Tennessee beginning in 2015 with the Volunteers coming to Rentschler Field with a return trip to Knoxville in 2016. Other upcoming non-conference opponents coming to Rentschler Field include Vanderbilt (2010), Iowa State (2011), North Carolina State (2012) and Maryland (2014).

Jasper Tyrone Howard January 28, 1989 – October 18, 2009 Cornerback – Miami, Florida Jasper Howard loved life, his family, football and the University of Connecticut. He came to UConn from his native Miami and Miami Edison Senior High School and made an immediate impact of the Storrs campus. Jasper broke into the UConn lineup in his freshman year of 2007 and became a starter the following season. Meanwhile, he was working towards his degree in sociology and was an active member of the community. On October 17, 2009, Jasper made 11 tackles and had a forced fumble that he recovered as UConn defeated Louisville at Rentschler Field by a 38-25 score. In the early morning of the following day, tears fell hard from the October sky as Jazz lost his life. Jasper will serve as an honorary captain for the 2010 Huskies. Jasper came to play and practice with an energy that made him the consummate teammate… forever.

In Memory of

Jasper Howard

UConn alumnus and NASA astronaut Richard Mastracchio made a special presentation to members of the Husky football team as he gave them a flag in memory of Jasper Howard that flew in space in the space shuttle Discovery.

As the football team left campus to play at West Virginia, its first game since Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, student-athletes from all UConn teams came together for a sendoff.

Rentschler Field

One of the Country’s Newest and Most Modern BCS College Football Stadium

The 2010 season will mark the eighth year of play at Rentschler Field – one of the newest and most modern college football stadiums in the BCS. UConn has posted a 33-12 record at Rentschler Field – including a perfect 7-0 in 2007 to help lead the Huskies to the BIG EAST Championship. In just seven years of play, the UConn football team has welcomed over 1.7 million fans to Rentschler Field.

Football Saturdays are an important part of the social scene in Connecticut as the tailgating begins four hours before kickoff and a FanFest is held before each game. The Husky Walk is held about two-and-a-half hours before each game as fans are able to greet the team as it arrives at the stadium.

Student support is a tremendous asset to the UConn football team as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dog Poundâ&#x20AC;? provides vocal inspiration for the Huskies.

For 11 years running, UConn has been rated by U.S. News & World Report as the No. 1 public university in New England â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and also ranks among the top 30 public universities in the nation. The University has been elected to membership in Universitas 21, a preeminent international network of leading research-intensive universities across 13 countries.

This is

UConn

UConnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14 schools and colleges offer seven undergraduate degrees in more than 100 majors. The University grants 17 graduate degrees in more than 85 fields of study, and provides graduate professional programs in business, dental medicine, law, medicine, pharmacy and social work.

More than 29,000 students are enrolled at UConn, representing nearly every state in the nation and more than 100 countries. The average SAT scores for incoming freshmen at Storrs are up 100 points since 1996 and are now 1212. Minority students made up 21% of the incoming class. Since 1995, 1,169 valedictorians and salutatorians have enrolled at all campuses. In the fall of 2009, 43 percent of freshmen entering the Storrs campus were ranked in the top 10 percent of their high school class and 83 percent were in the top 25 percent of their class.

UConn continues to renew, rebuild and enhance our campuses through an unprecedented $2.8 billion, 20-year investment in the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure. UCONN 2000 is the most ambitious publicly financed university building program in the country. Now in its 16th year, UCONN 2000 has invigorated the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living and learning environments, helped advance faculty research, and stimulated public and private investment. Applications continue to be on the rise with more than 23,000 applicants competing for 3,200 seats at the main campus in Storrs and 1,200 seats at the regional campuses.

The

Burton Family T

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

Football Complex

The Burton Family Football Complex serves as the on-campus home of UConn football and complements Rentschler Field in East Hartford. The lead gift for the facility was a $2.5 million contribution by Robert G. Burton. Burton’s tremendously successful business career has included leadership in the printing and publishing industry, and his current role as Chairman and CEO of Cenveo, the third largest publicly traded printing company in the world, which is headquartered in Stamford, Conn. Burton’s son, Michael, was the captain of the 1999 Husky football team. Burton has also donated in excess of $1 million to establish two endowed scholarships for UConn student-athletes.

Construction on the facility began in the fall of 2004 and the building opened in the summer of 2006. “The Burton Family Football Complex plays a crucial role as our program continues to make national strides in the BIG EAST Conference,” says UConn head football coach Randy Edsall. “Our entire football program is thankful to Bob Burton and his family for assisting us in our continuing journey for excellence.” “The Burton Family Football Complex is a key component of our continuing rise to national prominence in football,” says UConn Director of Athletics Jeff Hathaway. “All of us at UConn are very grateful to Bob and Paula Burton, along with the entire Burton family, for their generosity to our University and its football program.” 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 UConn Division of Athletics received an Environmental Leadership Award from the University of Connecticut for the work performed at The Burton Family Football Complex.

hanks to alumnus Mark R. Shenkman, the University of Connecticut now joins the ranks of major universities nationwide with an indoor training facility that is utilized by the football program, recreational services and other varsity sports. His $2.5 million gift, one of the largest ever to the UConn Division of Athletics, built an intercollegiate, intramural and recreational facility that serves the entire UConn community. The 85,000 square foot Mark R. Shenkman Training Center is the newest and most modern facility of its kind in the country. Construction on the facility began in the fall of 2004 and the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center opened in the summer of 2006.

Mark R. Shenkman Training Center

Featuring a 120-yard long state-of-the-art FieldTurf playing surface, an 18,000 square foot strength and conditioning area, and state-of-the-art video capabilities, the indoor training center provides UConn’s football team with the most technologically advanced training equipment. “The Mark R. Shenkman Training Center is a huge breakthrough in the growth of our football program,” says UConn head football coach Randy Edsall. “Now we have the advantage of year-round training, which is a necessity for any team serious about competing for conference championships and bowl victories.” The Mark R. Shenkman Training Center 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 UConn Division of Athletics received an Environmental Leadership Award from the University of Connecticut for the work performed at the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center.

A resident of Greenwich, Connecticut, Shenkman graduated from the Wilbraham & Monson Academy in Wilbraham, Mass. He received a bachelor’s degree in political science from UConn in 1965 followed by a master’s degree in business administration from The George Washington University. Shenkman is the founder and president of Shenkman Capital Management, Inc., a registered investment advisor with offices in New York City and Stamford, Connecticut. He currently serves as the Vice Chairman of the University of Connecticut Foundation Board of Directors and is Chairman of the Investment Committee. Shenkman was elected to the UConn School of Business Hall of Fame in 2002 and has endowed a classroom and the e-Commerce Chair for the business school. “We are very grateful to Mark and Rosalind Shenkman and their entire family for this significant enhancement to our athletic program,” says UConn Director of Athletics Jeff Hathaway. “Thanks to this gift, and the opening of the newest and most modern college football stadium in the country at Rentschler Field, our football program’s training and playing facilities are among the best in the nation. In addition, this landmark facility will provide all of our varsity teams with an outstanding training venue while adding to our recreational services offerings.”

Counseling Program for

Intercollegiate Athletes T he Counseling Program for Intercollegiate Athletes, a unit within the Division of Academic Affairs, is the academic support program for The University of Connecticut’s 650 student-athletes. The primary goal of the program is to assist student-athletes in reaching their educational goals while they compete in intercollegiate athletics. As academic affairs officers, CPIA counselors function as liaisons between the athletic and academic communities. Our counselors work closely with coaches, faculty and a variety of campus resources in order to help facilitate students’ successful transition into college life by instituting academic and social support programs, including but not limited to Counseling, PreAdvising, Tutorial and Life Skills Programs. 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 can now perform a number of football-related activities and perform academic work under the same roof.

Tutoring Program

At 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 demonstrated high levels of proficiency in their respective subject areas.

Study Hall All freshmen and transfer students as well as some upperclassmen are required to attend study hall ten hours a week. Study hall is an interactive environment where students meet with their tutors and work on their assignments in their respective courses.

Weekly Academic Meetings All freshmen and at risk students will meet with their CPIA counselor at least once a week to review their course work, assignments, attendance and tutoring plan.

Weekly Meeting with Coach Edsall UConn football coach Randy Edsall meets with Ellen Rennie, the CPIA Football Program Director, on a weekly basis. Together they review each student-athlete’s academic progress. This provides valuable

Huskies “Play It Smart” information for Coach Edsall and his staff regarding each studentathlete’s academic performance.

Life Skills UConn football student-athletes can enroll in two Life Skills courses during their freshmen and junior year. The Freshmen Life Skills course is designed to provide the information, knowledge and confidence, which will enable the student-athlete to feel secure in a new environment and promote a successful transition from high school to college. The course helps develop a set of adaptive, coping, critical thinking and problem solving skills. It also acquaints the studentathlete 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 Junior Student-Athletes Course is to provide information, techniques and strategies that will help students feel confident while making decisions about their future, post-collegiate lives. The focus of the class is to help students make a successful transition from college to the working world.

The University of Connecticut football team currently has five studentathletes on it that are products of the “Play It Smart” program of the National Football Foundation. “Play It Smart” was launched in 1998 and has proven to be one of the most effective youth development programs in the nation. Former UConn head football coach Bob Casciola was a key part of the formation of “Play It Smart” and was the Executive Director of the Foundation at the time. The program has shown that sports, when coached in the proper environment, can be used as an effective tool for significantly enhancing the academic performance and goal-setting practices of its participants. “Play It Smart” fulfills its mission by facilitating the hiring and training of “Academic Coaches” who work at high schools in underserved communities during the entire school year. Two “Play It Smart” graduates were seniors on last year’s UConn team in Andre Dixon from New Brunswick, N.J. and Lindsey Witten of Cleveland, Ohio. Current Husky A.J. Portee of Austell, Ga., and May HS, was also part of the program.

Learning Disability Services If a student-athlete enrolls at the University of Connecticut and has a diagnosed learning disability, CPIA works with that particular studentathlete, the Learning Disability office and Disability Services to provide the student with the best support possible.

Freshman Summer Program The 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 freshmen year. The program introduces students to the rigors of university life, helps them develop the discipline and skills required to succeed academically, and provide orientation to the general campus community and facilities. Since writing is imperative to the academic process, CPIA works with the Freshmen English Department, to offer the choice of two writing courses. Students are enrolled in either a four-credit Basic Writing class or a Seminar in Writing through Literature course. They also enroll in a two credit “Transitions into College: Beginning Your Journey”, which specifically deals with the topics of transitioning into the collegiate environment and provides tools for students to discover in order to achieve their goals of academic success and ultimately, graduation from the University of Connecticut. These courses are the core of the Freshman Summer Program.

Huskies Are A Leader In BIG EAST Academics The University of Connecticut football program continues to be a leader in the BIG EAST Conference in terms of academic performance by it student-athletes. UConn was the top team in the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of both October 2008 and ’09 among league schools. The UConn football program also had the highest NCAA GSR for African-American student-athletes among all state universities that participated in a bowl game in 2008. In five of the past seven years, including 2007, ‘08 and ‘09, UConn was recognized by the American Football Coaches Association for its high graduation rate. UConn’s overall GSR in 2009 was the third-highest of the more than 50 state universities that participated in a bowl game. In 2010, the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) for the UConn football team was an impressive 949 over a four-year cycle, with a one-year mark of 968 for the 200809 academic year. The four-year mark was just three points behind the second-highest team in the BIG EAST.

UConn football players enjoy a brand new, state-of-the-art strength and conditioning facility at the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which opened in the summer of 2007 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in

The Polo Family Strength Center. The two-level strength and conditioning facility is over 18,000 square feet. The main strength area is more than 11,000 square feet and houses the primary exercise units. The balcony itself is more than 7,000 square feet and has a five-lane turf sprint area that is 70 yards long. The balcony also houses the secondary training equipment, which includes indoor computerized blocking sleds to measure reaction time and force production,. Keiser air machines with computer interface measures power output in order to enhance sport performance and to quicken the rehabilitation process. The balcony also includes a number of aerobic pieces such as treadmills, stationary bikes and spin bikes for conditioning purposes as well as stair climbers and elliptical training equipment.

The main strength area has complete Championship Units. Each unit includes a multi-purpose rack, an Olympic platform, a multi-adjustable bench and a multi-use cable column. Each of these units also includes an adjustable dumbbell system ranging from 15 pounds to 105 pounds in 2.5-pound increments. Each Championship Unit encompasses its own Tendo weight lifting analyzer which when attached to the bar, gives peak power, average power and the velocity of the bar and the weight being lifted. The strength facility will be the only known paperless facility in the country, where each unit will have an interactive “controller box” with a screen. When the athlete enters his player ID code, his entire individualized workout will appear on the screen. Data completed by the athlete is then transmitted back via wireless communication to the server so that programs can now target individual athletes based on position and individual needs. This technology will allow for UConn’s strength and conditioning coaches to make fast and efficient analysis, interpretation of and program changes. The next time that athlete trains, his new updated program will once again appear on the screen of the “controller box”.

With all of this in place, the Mark R. Shenkman Training facility is the most modern, efficient and complete college strength facility in the United States. A unique part of UConn’s off-season training is a team competition that reflects the Bowl Championship Series. When the winter semester begins, 12 team captains are assigned. A draft is then held with five players on each team and there are six teams in a Blue and White conference. Individuals gain points in the competition for performance in the weight room and for other drills, such as the medicine ball, obstacle course and tire flip races. Academics and obligations in the athletic training room are also taken into account for an individual’s point total. As the beginning of spring football approaches, there are bowl games between teams. The top teams in each conference face off in the Rose Bowl while the second place teams face off in the Orange Bowl. The next two teams, regardless of conference, play in the Sugar Bowl and the next two play in the Fiesta Bowl. The goal of the program is to keep a competitive spirit throughout the UConn team during the offseason.

The 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 community service throughout the year by visiting children at local schools, hospitals and other activities. The UConn football team makes several visits a year to the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford. One of the key community service activities of the UConn football team is the “Goal Line Project” at the East Hartford

Middle School. The UConn football program has adopted the school and student-athletes make frequent visits to the school to provide mentoring and inspiration both in academics and athletes. During the football season, members of the UConn football team spend Monday afternoons at the school working with students.

This year’s program was called “The Reading Millionaires Plus: A Roaring Reading Challenge”. At the beginning of the school year, UConn student-athletes extended a challenge to this year’s Verplanck students, encouraging them to top the mark of one million minutes of reading that was accomplished in 200809. The students met that goal and went to a women’s basketball game at the XL Center in Hartford.

The SAAC had another successful year in 2009-10 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 were collected.

The “Husky Reach” and “Goal Line Project” are funded by the SBM Charitable Foundation, which was established in 2000 by Connecticut Bankshares, 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 predominately in Hartford, Windham and Tolland counties. Other community service by UConn student-athletes is coordinated 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 studentathletes from different sports.

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 cutting edge of developments in the fields of human performance and sports nutrition. 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 medical facilities at Rentschler Field and at The Burton Family Football Complex within the Marziali Family Training Room. The Department of Sports Medicine has incorporated the SwimEX technology to develop a 2,300 square-foot hydrotherapy room for rehabilitation and conditioning at The Burton Family Football Complex. As with Rentschler Field, the new sports medicine facility on campus includes onsite X-ray equipment. In addition to providing the finest in medical 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 different varsity programs.

Alumni A

s University of Connecticut football continues to progress as a NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision 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. 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 football alumni who are interested in reconnecting with the program should call Baylock at 860-486-2458. For the past four seasons, former UConn head coaches and alumni have served as honorary coaches for the Blue-White Spring Football Game. In 2010, one squad was coached by the 2004 team captains – Dan Orlovsky, Alfred Fincher and Ryan Krug, while the other side had Donald Brown and Tyler Lorenzen, who both played in the Super Bowl a few months earlier. The 2009 event saw the return of former head coaches Tom Jackson and Walt Nadzak who were joined by players Ken Sweitzer and Rick Jackson. In 2008, former head coaches Bob Casciola, who later went on to become the executive director of the National Football Foundation, and Larry Naviaux were joined by former players Brian Usher and Ray Tellier. In 2007, former head coaches

The players were Gary Blackney, who enjoyed a long collegiate coaching career himself, and Rick Robustelli. In an effort to help members of UConn’s football team enhance their prospects for employment following college, the UConn football program sponsors a Career Information Fair twice 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 exposure to a wide variety of career opportunities that may interest them. Former UConn football players also guide current studentathletes through the networking process by putting them in contact with other professionals who may provide them with shadowing, internship and full-time employment opportunities.

UConn Football and

Walk-ons W

ith the limited number of scholarships each NCAA member is allowed and the highly competitive nature of high school recruiting around the country, the UConn coaching staff knows it can take no member of their team for granted. With that in mind, head coach Randy Edsall relies heavily on those who choose to walk-on to the Husky football program in order to add reinforcement to the foundation. Although walking on to the team does not guarantee that one will become a scholarship player, the potential is there. On a national level, perhaps the finest example of a walk-on making good in 2007 occurred at UConn with Donald Thomas of West Haven, Conn. Thomas barely played football in high school but walked onto the team as a sophomore. Thomas developed into a starter at offensive guard and earned All-BIG EAST honors in 2007. Capping a remarkable story, Thomas was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in April of 2008 and was a

starter for the Dolphins before an injury cut his rookie year short. Marcus Easley originally joined the Husky program as a walk-on in 2006 and then had a break-out senior season in 2009, when he made 48 receptions for 893 yards and eight touchdowns. The Stratford, Conn., native, then was Donald Thomas joined the UConn football team as a walk-on picked in the fourth and wound up being an NFL Draft selection by the Miami round of the NFL Draft Dolphins. by the Buffalo Bills. Aaron Bryant of New London, Conn., graduated in the spring of 2009 and earned three varsity letters playing in 25 career games and starting the final two regular season contests of 2008. Chris Pavasaris joined the team in 2003 and became another great walk-on success story. He emerged as the starting punter for the Huskies and earned a coveted 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 candidate for the Rhodes and Marshall Scholarships and earned CoSIDA Academic All-District recognition. Justin DeRubertis of Bethel, Conn. played in 22 games from 2005-06 after starting as a walk-on for the Huskies. David Sanchez of Windsor, Conn., graduated in 2005, earning a football scholarship after walking on as a wide receiver and played in 13 total career games. Brian Sparks, a Plainville, Conn., native, was a three-year walk-on member of the Huskies and was rewarded with a scholarship before his senior season of 2004. He closed out his career in fine form with a touchdown reception in UConn’s Motor City Bowl win over Toledo. Another tremendously successful walk-on story during Randy Edsall’s career at UConn is Shaun Feldeisen – a captain for the 2003 Huskies. Feldeisen decided to come to UConn without a scholarship and worked at both wide receiver and placekicker. Feldeisen’s chance came during the 2001 season as a wide receiver and the following year his hard work was rewarded with a scholarship. Feldeisen led the Huskies in receiving in ’03 with 65 receptions for 860 yards and seven touchdowns. Feldeisen was also named a second team Academic All-America pick. C.J. Hessel, a Fairfield, Conn., native who finished his UConn career in 2001 is another example of a walk-on earning success. He joined the team as a walk-on and wound up being voted a team captain.

Marcus Easley originally joined the Connecticut football program as a walk-on and was later picked in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bill.s

he UConn football program receives an incredible amount of media attention from television, radio and print media.

Blue And Bold UConn Rallies To Tie, Defeats Notre Dame In Double Overtime By DESMOND CONNER dconner@courant.com

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The tears were in coach Randy Edsall’s eyes moments before he entered the interview room. UConn’s 33-30 double-overtime win over Notre Dame on Saturday, a victory Edsall called the best in the Huskies’ Division I history, had that kind of effect. “I’m just so proud of those kids over in the locker room and those assistant Next For coaches,” UConn Edsall said.

Later, Randy Edsall, tears of joy still hanging sweetly in his eyes, was asked how he felt in those closing moments of regulation. “I said, ‘Here we go again,’ ” Edsall answered. “You’re staying positive.

You miss.” “You start thinking about the past and how close we came and didn’t come out with the win,” Dixon said. “I tried to keep myself positive and say, ‘We

As they filed out of the locker room and into the arms of loved ones, the Huskies wore blue No. 6 shirts honoring Jasper Howard. They had been trying to get a win for their fallen teammate since he was stabbed to death on the UConn campus Oct. 18. On Saturday, they got it. “Feels good,” said receiver Kashif Moore, who scored the first points in the first OT on an 11-yard touchdown pass from Zach Frazer, who was 12 of 25 for 141 yards. “We’re just thankful that we were able to finally put together a win,” Edsall said. “So now we can take a game ball and send it down to . . . the Howard family because I know one thing — that little No. 6 was looking down on us today.” Sophomore Jordan Todman rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries and Andre Dixon added 114 yards on 20 carries, including a 4-yard run in the second OT to

arvard-Yale is still compelling, in the way network television was in the 1970s. Sadly, most of the world has moved on from all the boola-boola to the BCS and Food Network. Still, when the Yale seniors reunite in 25 years, masters of industry, finance and politics, sipping single malt scotch, they will remember an illogical call by their rookie coach, Tom Williams — a fake, fourth-quarter punt on fourth-and-22 from the Elis’ 25 that fell short and ultimately led to Harvard’s winning score.

The

Big East E

Conference

ntering its 20th season as a football-playing entity in 2010, the BIG EAST Conference has been at the forefront of major college football since its formal entrance into the sport in 1991. By any measure, BIG EAST football has been an unmitigated success as the conference regularly puts its teams in position to compete for the Bowl Championship Series National Championship while amassing an impressive head-to-head record against its counterparts. Under its current membership configuration, which has been in place for five years, the BIG EAST is a combined 159-61 in nonconference games. The .721 winning percentage marks the best five-year run in the history of the conference and is second among all conferences in the same timeframe. In addition, the BIG EAST was a combined 4-2 in bowl games last season, marking the fourth straight season in which the league had a winning record in the postseason. The nonconference and postseason records both speak to the depth of the BIG EAST, which has seen six of its eight current members win at least a share of the league title in the last six years. The two other teams have both been ranked in the top 25 in each of the past three seasons. The last four seasons alone have seen three different BIG EAST teams – Louisville, West Virginia and Cincinnati – make legitimate runs at the BCS title game. The 2009 season saw Cincinnati run the table in the regular season to win the outright BIG EAST title for the second straight

year. The Bearcats finished the season at No. 3 in the final Bowl Championship Series rankings and joined Pittsburgh and West Virginia as BIG EAST teams ranked in the top 25 of the final national polls. Connecticut and Rutgers, meanwhile, received votes after impressive bowl victories. Under the leadership of longtime commissioner Michael Tranghese, the BIG EAST Conference’s entrance into football was announced Feb. 5, 1991. The BIG EAST has been a charter member of each of the major bowl agreements with the major conferences, beginning with the Bowl Coalition in 1992, followed by the Bowl Alliance in 1995 and the Bowl Championship Series in 1998. Since its birth, the BIG EAST has been a national power both on and off the field. The BIG EAST has been a frequent contender for the national championship. Eight times in the league’s 19 seasons, a BIG EAST squad has played for a claim to the national crown in a postseason game. The conference began a new era in 2009 when John Marinatto became the BIG EAST Commissioner. Marinatto was at the forefront of the league’s reorganization efforts which have made the conference as strong as it has ever been. The 2010 season will mark the third year of a six-year arrangement with ESPN that gives the BIG EAST unprecedented exposure on ABC television and the ESPN family of networks. ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC will carry a minimum of 19 BIG EAST home games each season, marking the highest guaranteed total on ESPN and ABC in league history. Championship Saturday in December

America Stadium, the Meineke Car Care Bowl will select its BIG EAST participant after the Champs Sports Bowl with the ACC again providing the opponent.

In addition, ESPN Regional will continue to produce and distribute its BIG EAST Network Game of the Week package to a nationally syndicated audience, reaching more than 30 million homes. Most of these games also will be available as part of the ESPN GamePlan subscription service. Finally, a minimum of five home games will be carried on ESPNU.

The BIG EAST and the Big 12 have partnered for a new bowl game beginning in 2010 as the New Era Pinstripe Bowl is played for the first time. The New Era Pinstripe Bowl will be played at Yankee Stadium in New York City, marking the first postseason game in the Big Apple since the Gotham Bowl in 1962.

Extensive television exposure and the BIG EAST have been synonymous terms. For football, the league established its own regional television package in 1991 before it had played a game. The BIG EAST Television Network immediately was the largest regional college football network in the country. The BIG EAST Conference champion earns the league’s automatic Bowl Championship Series bid. The BCS – which enters its 13th season in 2010-11 – is a five-game arrangement for postseason college football that is designed to match the two top-rated teams in a national championship game and to create exciting and competitive matchups between eight other highly regarded teams in four other BCS games. If the BIG EAST champion finishes No. 1 or No. 2 in the final BCS standings, then that team will earn a spot in the BCS National Championship Game. Otherwise, the league champion will compete in one of the four remaining BCS bowl games – the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Allstate Sugar Bowl or the Rose Bowl Game. The BIG EAST unveiled an enhanced collection of bowl partnerships beginning with the 2010 season that will match conference teams against opponents from the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big 12 Conference, the Southeastern Conference and Conference USA. The Champs Sports Bowl will have the first selection of BIG EAST teams after the conference’s BCS representative is determined. During the four years of the deal, the Champs Sports Bowl has the option to choose Notre Dame once in place of a BIG EAST team. The Atlantic Coast Conference will provide the opposition for the Champs Sports Bowl, which is played in Orlando, Fla. The BIG EAST enters its ninth year as a partner with the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte, N.C. Played in Bank of

A BIG EAST representative will face either an opponent from the Southeastern Conference or the Conference USA champion as part of a four-year arrangement with the PapaJohns.com Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., and the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis. The BIG EAST will send a team to one of those bowl games in each year of the four years of the deal. The BIG EAST has been a partner with the PapaJohns.com Bowl since 2006 and has seen its teams go 4-0 in the four previous games. Louisville, Pittsburgh, Syracuse and West Virginia, meanwhile, have all played in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in past years. The 2010 season will mark the third year of the BIG EAST’s partnership with the Beef O’Brady’s Bowl St. Petersburg at Tropicana Field. The Beef O’Brady’s Bowl pairs the BIG EAST representative against an opponent from Conference USA. The enhanced lineup gives BIG EAST teams access to at least six postseason games each year.

Quarterback Zach Frazer has made nine starts over the past two seasons for UConn and begins 2010 at the top of the depth chart.

Running back Jordan Todman rushed for 1,188 yards in 2009 and earned Second Team All-BIG EAST honors.

Tight end Ryan Griffin started ten games in 2009 for his first action as a Husky and made 23 receptions.

Experienced Huskies Look To Continue Success In 2010 T

he 2010 University of Connecticut football team enters fall season with three-straight bowl appearances to their credit, including two wins in a row and a victory over South Carolina in the 2010 Papajohns.com Bowl. The Huskies won their final four games of the 2009 season – a streak which started with an emotional double overtime win at Notre Dame. The Huskies also return a strong nucleus this year from the 2009 season. Eight starters return on each side of the ball along with one of two specialists. UConn is stocked with young talent that started to blossom in ’09.

UConn enters 2010 with optimism, but head coach Randy Edsall knows that there is only one way to make this season another successful one – hard work and playing as a team. “After the bowl game, I told our team in the locker room to enjoy the win, but the hard work is ready to start all over again” says Edsall, who enters his 12th season in charge of the Husky program and is now the most tenured coach in the BIG EAST Conference. “I am very happy with how our spring practice went in addition to our offseason conditioning program. Our players have shown a commitment that they want to even be better in 2010.”

Offense

Moe Petrus made the successful transition to center in 2009 and started all 13 games there.

The Husky offense is led by a pair of quarterbacks who both have started games over the past two seasons. Redshirt senior Zach Frazer started seven games last season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first two and the final five, including the bowl win, with a knee injury in between. Frazer developed as the season progressed and threw eight TD passes in the final five games of the year and had just two interceptions in the final four games. Redshirt junior Cody Endres started six games last year when Frazer was hurt and has eight career starts under his belt. He also became increasingly effective the more he played last year and threw for more than 250 yards in three of his starts. Also at the quarterback spot for the Huskies this spring are redshirt sophomore Johnny McEntee, redshirt freshman Michael Box and freshman Leon Kinnard. Junior Jordan Todman leads the returning running backs as he rushed for 1,188 yards in 2009 and earned Second Team All-BIG EAST honors. He rushed for 100 yards or more in five games last season, including three of the final four regular season games.

Offensive tackle Mike Ryan moved into the starting lineup last year and was there for the final nine games of the season.

Redshirt junior Robbie Frey has played in 21 career games and is also a strong kickoff returner for the Huskies. A knee injury cut his 2009 season short in the eighth game of the season. Redshirt junior Jonathan Jean-Louis moves from defense to tailback this spring while redshirt junior Kelmetrus Wylie and redshirt freshman Martin Hyppolite are also in the mix. New to the Huskies this fall is junior D.J. Shoemate, who transferred to UConn over the summer from USC. He will be eligible to play immediately and will have two years with the Huskies. The fullback position is also experienced with seniors Anthony Sherman, who has made 21 career starts, and Bret Mannning. Redshirt sophomore Ryan Griffin started 10 games at tight end in his first college season in 2009 and established himself as a dependable receiver with 23 receptions for 272 yards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including six receptions combined in the final two regular season games. Redshirt sophomore John Delahunt also saw valuable play-

Defense

Defensive end Jesse Joseph started all 13 games for the Huskies in 2009 as a true freshman and made 38 tackles.

ing time last year while senior Alex Kaiser and redshirt sophomore Corey Manning provide depth. UConn losses two top receivers from last year in Marcus Easley and Brad Kanuch, but there is experience returning with a number of young players waiting to emerge. Redshirt junior Kashif Moore has 22 receptions last season for three touchdowns, including one in overtime vs. Notre Dame and another in the Papajohns.com Bowl. Redshirt junior Isiah Moore had 24 receptions for one touchdown while junior Michael Smith had 15 receptions. Other returnees at the receiver spot are: redshirt sophomore Gerrard Sheppard and sophomores Dwayne Difton and Nick Williams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in addition to redshirt freshman Eric Sawicki. Joshua Massey moved to the wide receiver position in the spring. The offensive line has four starters back from last year, but takes a hit with the departure of Mike Hicks, who started 48 games in his Husky career.

All-BIG EAST defensive end Greg Lloyd will attempt to come back from as season-ending knee injury at the end of 2009.

Defensive tackle Twyon Martin has started 19 games over the past two seasons and has 12 career tackles for a loss.

Redshirt junior Moe Petrus returns at center after being moved to that position in 2009 and has made a total of 25 starts over the past two seasons. Redshirt junior Gary Bardzak and redshirt sophomore Ben Chapman provide the depth. At the guard spot, redshirt senior Zach Hurd was a First Team All-BIG EAST pick in 2009 while redshirt senior Mathieu Olivier is back after starting eight games last year. Redshirt sophomore Eric Kuraczea also started five games at guard last year while redshirt freshmen Tyler Bullock and Steve Green are also back. Redshirt junior Mike Ryan started nine games at left tackle in 2009 and returns as does redshirt sophomore Jimmy Bennett, who has not seen any collegiate game action yet after a preseason knee injury last year. Redshirt sophomore Adam Masters had an impressive spring at tackle after being converted from the guard spot. Redshirt freshman Stephen Brown and Kevin Friend and freshman Greg McKee are also at the tackle spot.

Linebaker Lawrence Wilson was a First Team All-BIG EAST selection last year and has started 37 games over his career.

Cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson started nine games last year, including the final seven, as he gained tremendous experience.

Eight starters also return on the UConn defensive unit. Sophomore Jesse Joseph started all 13 games for the Huskies at one defensive end spot and made 38 tackles. He was the first true freshman to start for UConn in its FBS history.

Redshirt sophomore Jerome Junior started 12 games last year and is among a group of impressive young Huskies in the secondary.

enjoyed an excellent spring and will push for playing time here. The depth at that position comes in redshirt senior Alex Polito and redshirt freshman Shamar Stephen and Tim Willman.

Senior Greg Lloyd makes the move to defensive end in 2009 after playing linebacker in ‘08. He missed the final three games of 2009 with a knee injury and his recovery from that injury keet him out of spring drills. He was a second team AllBIG EAST pick last year with 91 tackles.

The linebacker position has two starters back at that position, with Lloyd moving to the line. Redshirt senior Scott Lutrus was an All-BIG EAST pick in 2008 and missed five games last year with an injury. Lutrus still managed to come back and make 69 tackles, including a team-high nine in the Papajohns.com Bowl.

Sophomore Trevardo Williams played in all 13 games last year and had 19 tackles while redshirt sophomore Marcus Campbell returns to the team after not being on the squad in 2009. Redshirt sophomore A.J. Portee and Ted Jennings are also at defensive end along with freshman Jonathan Louis.

Redshirt senior Lawrence Wilson was a First Team All-BIG EAST selection last year and was the team leader in tackles with 140 and was tied for tenth nationally in tackles. Redshirt sophomore Jory Johnson played in 12 games and made 28 tackles and will look to start the “Husky” linebacker position.

The defensive tackle spot is highly experienced with a pair of redshirt juniors in Twyon Martin and Kendall Reyes. Martin has started 20 games for the Huskies over the past two years while Reyes has made 18. Redshirt sophomore Ryan Wirth

The other linebackers are redshirt sophomores Sio Moore, Jerome Williams and Mark Hinkley, redshirt junior Emmanuel Omokaro, redshirt sophomore Matt Edwards and freshmen Michael Osiecki and Andrew Opoku.

Special Teams

Kicker Dave Teggart has converted on all 62 of his collegiate extra point attempts.

Experience at cornerback was lost with the departure of Robert Vaughn, who made 40 career starts. Redshirt sophomore Blidi Wreh-Wilson had nine starts in 2009 and improved as the season moved on. Redshirt sophomore Dwayne Gratz played in all 13 games last year while redshirt junior Gary Wilburn played in six. Also looking for time at cornerback is redshirt freshmen Tevrin Brandon along with freshman Gilbert Stlouis. The loss at safety comes from Robert McClain – a starter in all 13 games last year with 18 career starts. Redshirt sophomore Jerome Junior started 12 games last year and had 48 tackles and looks to gain even more experience. Senior Kijuan Dabney moves back to the secondary after playing at linebacker. He missed most of last year with a shoulder injury, but has played in 20 games.

Senior Derek Chard will return as the team’s long-snapper in 2010.

and Chris Lopes. The special teams loses experienced punter Desi Cullen, who graduated as UConn’s career leader. Redshirt freshman Chad Christen will challenge for that spot in the spring along with classsmate Cole Wagner. Junior Dave Teggart is back at placekicker after making all 46 of his extra point attempts last year and hitting the gamewinning field goal in the regular season finale against USF. Senior Derek Chard was highly-dependable at long snapper last year and is back in 2010. Wilburn, Nick Williams and Kinnard will compete for time at punt returns while Frey and Todman are back as the kickoff returners.

The rest of the safety crew is young with redshirt juniors Harris Agbor and John Yurek along with converted receiver sophomore Mike Lang and redshirt freshmen David Kenney

s Randy Edsall enters his 12th season as the head coach at the University of Connecticut in 2010, he continues to see the positive effects of his time in Storrs. The program has blossomed from a major college football newcomer upon his arrival to a team that has now made four bowl appearances in the past six years. Only one other school besides UConn has moved up from Division I-AA to Division I-A (Football Bowl Subdivision) and earned an AP ranking faster. Only five times has a team ascended from Division I-AA to Division I-A and produced a .500 or better season in each of its first three years at the highest level of collegiate football and UConn is one of those programs.

“ Edsall deserves praise

for being the rare coach in today’s age who practices what he preaches.”

Stewart Mandel, SI.com

The Huskies continue to climb in a BCS Conference and much of the credit for this remarkable ascension is due to Edsall, who is tied as the winningest coach in school history and stands at an impressive 57-41 (.582) in the school’s first eight Division I-A seasons. UConn’s trip to the 2010 Papajohns.com Bowl marked the fourth the Huskies have made under Edsall in the past six years as the Huskies posted a 20-7 win over South Carolina. Edsall guided the Huskies to a 38-20 win over Buffalo in the 2009 International Bowl and led the team to a victory in the 2004 Motor City Bowl and an appearance in the 2007 Meineke Car Care Bowl. Edsall’s Huskies won their final three regular season games in 2009 – including a historic double-overtime win over Notre Dame on Nov. 21. UConn posted a 7-5 regular season record facing the 25th-toughest regular season schedule in the country.

Edsall has also become a prominent voice in the college football community, as he is a member of the American Football Coaches Association Board of Trustees and the NCAA Football Rules Committee, which he chairs in 2010-11. UConn joined the BIG EAST Conference in 2004, finishing just one win shy of tying for the conference championship. The Huskies led the conference in total defense each of their first two years in the league and again in 2008. During their debut season in 2004, led the BIG EAST in both total offense and total defense. During this span, UConn has finished in the national top 20 for total offense (2003, 2004) and total defense (2002, 2005, 2008). The Huskies finished an impressive sixth in the country in total defense in 2008.

That mark also placed Connecticut ahead of the Bowl Subdivision average and among the top thirty percent of schools in the country.

2002, according to preseason and postseason ratings by College Football News. The excitement for Edsall and his team continued to swell in 2003 as the Huskies moved into their new home, Rentschler Field, and enjoyed the nation’s largest attendance increase with a gain of 21,252 fans per game. Finishing with a 9-3 record, many national media outlets, including ESPN, proclaimed that UConn should have received a bowl berth, a feat highly-uncommon for an independent team. With their membership in the BIG EAST for the 2004 season, another strong campaign by the Huskies resulted in a bowl berth. UConn went 8-4 against a challenging slate that fall as the program gained its highest ever level of exposure. The Huskies capped their historic season with a resounding 39-10 win over Mid-American Champion Toledo in the Motor City Bowl. The 2007 season witnessed a new level of excitement in Storrs as the Huskies earned their first ever national rankings, peaking at No. 13 in the BCS standings on Nov. 5. UConn became just the second BIG EAST team to ever go 7-0 at home and defeated three teams there which were ranked in the Top 10 at some point during the season. The BIG EAST Champion Huskies finished that season at 9-4 with a berth in the Meineke Car Care Bowl, earning Edsall New England Division I Coach of the Year accolades.

H e a d C o a c h R a n d y Edsall What They are Saying About Randy Edsall and UConn Football “I am really impressed with UConn football and I think Randy Edsall has done a great job with that program. They’ve won a lot of games and they have a lot of great players. They got them from all over the country and have them on both sides of the ball. I think it’s a real credit to what Randy has done with that program. I went to UConn’s Pro Day (2009) and it was very exciting. In the past, you haven’t gone to Connecticut looking for first round and second round type talent and now you do.” Bill Belichick, New England Patriots head coach

The Edsall Family: Corey, Randy, Eileen and Alexi.

Edsall was named the 27th head football coach at the University of Connecticut on December 21, 1998. Edsall brought 19 years of previous coaching experience to the Husky program, including 15 seasons on the collegiate level and three in the NFL. Edsall joined the Huskies after completing the 1998 season as the defensive coordinator at Georgia Tech, where he helped the 14th-ranked Yellow Jackets complete a 9-2 campaign. Prior to joining the staff at Georgia Tech, Edsall spent three seasons as the secondary coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League. In his three seasons on Tom Coughlin’s staff, Edsall was a part of one of the most successful expansion franchises in the history of the NFL. The Jaguars reached the playoffs in 1996 and 1997, including a berth in the AFC Championship Game in 1996. Edsall began his coaching career in 1980 at his alma mater, Syracuse University. A former quarterback for the Orangemen, Edsall started as a graduate assistant from 1980-1982. In 1983, coach Dick MacPherson named Edsall running backs coach. He coached the running backs for three seasons at Syracuse (1983-84 and 1986) and coached the tight ends in 1985 before making the switch to the defensive side of the ball. He coached the Syracuse defensive backs from 1987-1990 and during that period the Orangemen were ranked amongst the National Division I-A leaders in pass defense. Edsall was a three-year letterwinner in football, basketball and baseball at Susquehannock High School in Glen Rock, Pa. He was an all-state selection in all three sports in his senior season and has been inducted into the York Area Sports Hall of Fame. He then went on to Syracuse, where he was a member of the football team and earned one varsity letter as a quarterback for the Orangemen. He was a member of the Syracuse squad that captured the 1979 Independence Bowl title under head coach Frank Maloney. Edsall is a native of Glen Rock, Penn., and earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Syracuse in 1980 and added a master’s degree in health and physical education in 1982 from Syracuse. Edsall was honored with the Leadership Award at the Martin Luther King, Jr., Holiday National Liberty Bell Ringing Celebration in Hartford, Conn., in January of 2010. He will also be honored this fall by the UConn Alumni Association as an Honorary Alumnus of the school. Edsall is an active member of the Connecticut community and supports a

“First and foremost, Coach Edsall makes you a better man on and off the field. He teaches you to become responsible and cares about you away from football.” Darius Butler, 2008 UConn captain and 2009 Second Round NFL Draft pick of the New England Patriots

“Coach Edsall pushes you to be your best. It’s not all about football. He teaches you to be a better man, a good family person and how to adapt to different situations. He prepares you for life after football.” Julius Williams, former Husky defensive lineman and current member of the Jacksonville Jaguars

“The Indianapolis Colts are very pleased to have Donald Brown join the team. Donald is just one example of what head coach Randy Edsall has done with the Connecticut football program. During the past few years, Coach Edsall has helped build the program from the Division I-AA level to a BIG EAST contender. Connecticut had four players selected on the first day in the 2009 NFL Draft, second-most in the country. That should tell you what Coach Edsall has done with the program. The accomplishments by the school, coaches and players are admirable.” Bill Polian, President, Indianapolis Colts

“Coach Edsall is very committed to setting goals that you can reach, and then daring you not only to reach them as fast as you can, but challenging you to want to achieve more.” Dan Orlovsky, 2004 UConn captain and current Houston Texans quarterback

When you talk to people around the country, not just the East Coast, there is a buzz about UConn football. Randy has made UConn a destination job, not a stepping stone job.

“Randy Edsall is doing nothing more than his job. He is doing nothing more than fulfilling the promises he makes in the living rooms and around the kitchen tables of prospective recruits and their parents. “And you know what? “Edsall should be saluted for it. “Because amid all the justified cynicism around major college athletics, amid all the scandals and all the doubts about whether anybody in the spotlight is really clean, there is Edsall who gives us hope.” Mike DiMauro, The Day (New London, Conn.) columnist

“Rentschler Field is a beautiful facility and UConn, to their credit, has 32,000 season tickets sold (in 2005). It’s amazing when you see where they came from…to where they are now and where they’re about to go. They’ve done a great job here at UConn getting this thing going.

His second season, 2007, saw UConn claim the BIG EAST Championship behind the nation’s 10th-ranked passing efficiency defense and the 14th best scoring defense at 19.0 points allowed per game. In 2008, the UConn defense was ranked sixth in the country and among the national leaders in most major categories – including ninth in passing defense, 15th in interceptions and 22nd in scoring defense. Under Orlando’s tutelage in 2000, linebacker Razul Wallace set a UConn record for tackles for a loss in a season and was a consensus national Division I-A All-Independent selection. The 2002 season saw fine performances from the UConn linebacking corps as they helped the team rank 19th in the nation in total defense with their versatile play against both the rush and the pass. Orlando helped both Alfred Fincher and Maurice Lloyd earn All-Independent status in 2003 and All-BIG EAST recognition in 2004. Two of the top tacklers in school history, the pair anchored the BIG EAST’s leading defense in 2004 en route to a Motor City Bowl berth. Fincher was chosen in the third round by the New Orleans Saints in 2005, becoming the first Husky to be drafted in 11 years. Orlando’s work with middle linebacker Danny Lansanah in 2007 helped earn the senior a free agent contract with the Green Bay Packers and later a spot on the Pack’s active roster while weakside linebacker Lawrence Wilson was named second-team Freshman All-America. Prior to Connecticut, Orlando spent three seasons in Philadelphia as the inside linebackers coach at the University of Pennsylvania. Orlando began his coaching career by spending the 1994 and 1995 seasons as an assistant coach at the high school level in his home state of Pennsylvania, holding the position of defensive coordinator at Central Catholic High

School (1994) and Fox Chapel Area High School (1995) during that span. Orlando was a three-year letterwinner at inside linebacker at Wisconsin and a member of the 1994 Big Ten championship team that also defeated UCLA in the Badgers’ first Rose Bowl appearance since 1963. Well schooled in Madison, Orlando played under head coach Barry Alvarez while his UW defensive coordinator, Dan McCarney, has since had a successful run as head coach at Iowa State. Orlando earned his bachelor’s degree in agricultural economics from Wisconsin in 1994. A native of Pittsburgh, Pa., Orlando resides in Manchester, Conn.

Terry Richardson Running Backs

erry Richardson enters his 12th season as a member of the Connecticut football coaching staff, all spent working with the Husky running backs. In 2009, he coached two 1,000-yard rushers in Jordan Todman and Second Team All-BIG EAST pick Andre Dixon. UConn was just one of three NCAA FBS schools to boast a pair of two 1,000-yard rushers. The 2008 season saw running back Donald Brown become the nation’s leading rusher as he was named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year and a First Team All-America pick by the Sporting News. He became UConn’s first National Football League First Round Draft Pick in 2009 as he was selected by the Indianapolis Colts and played in the Super Bowl as a rookie. The ground attack made dramatic improvements under Richardson’s watch as soon as the team joined the FBS ranks and has been one of its most consistent units over the past seven years. In 2002, Terry Caulley galloped for 1,247 yards to lead all true freshmen in the nation. Overall, UConn’s per game rushing average shot up to 136.6 yards after averaging just 77.5 yards per game in 2001. During the 2003 season, UConn started four different tailbacks, three of whom gained at least 186 yards in a single game. Not to be outdone, Cornell Brockington rushed for 10 touchdowns over the final three games alone.

Terry Richardson

In 2004, Brockington carried the load for UConn, leading the BIG EAST with 1,218 yards and earning first team All-Conference recognition. The 2005 season saw three different Huskies (Caulley, Brockington and Lou Allen) record a 100-yard rushing game in a deep position group. In 2006, UConn ranked 13th nationally in rushing offense behind All-BIG EAST performer Brown.

Brown and 1961 Heisman Trophy winner Ernie Davis. Richardson was Syracuse’s leading rusher as a senior in 1993 and played in the Blue-Gray All-Star Game following his senior season. Richardson helped the Orange to three bowl berths during his career, the 1990 Aloha Bowl, 1992 Hall of Fame Bowl and 1993 Fiesta Bowl. Syracuse won all three games.

UConn saw another All-BIG EAST performer in 2007 as Dixon gained 828 yards on the ground, narrowly edging Brown’s 821 for the team lead. Richardson is a 1994 graduate of Syracuse where he was a four-year letterwinner at running back and wore the fabled uniform number 44. The coveted jersey is awarded only to exceptional Orange rushers, including Jim

Richardson signed a free agent contract with the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals in 1994 and also spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles (1995), Kansas City Chiefs (1996) and Pittsburgh Steelers (1996-97). He spent the 1998 season at Northeast High School in Oakland Park, Fla., as offensive coordinator and running backs coach to start his coaching career. A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Richardson has four children, Terrance (20), Sheenai (19), Kayla (15) and Tierra (8).

Matt Cersosimo Wide Receivers, Recruiting Coordinator

att Cersosimo returned to the UConn coaching staff in 2006 as wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator and now enters his fifth season in that position. Cersosimo’s wide receivers developed as the 2009 season progressed, highlighted by senior Marcus Easley – who made eight TD receptions in the final nine games of the season after having none in the first 36 games of his career. Easley was a fourth round pick of the Buffalo Bills in the 2010 NFL Draft. Cersosimo spent the 2004-05 seasons as an assistant coach at Harvard, helping the Crimson to a 17-3 record over the combined 2004-05 seasons. Cersosimo joined the Crimson staff in 2004 as the wide receivers coach and saw Harvard post an unblemished 10-0 record, 7-0 in Ivy League action. It was Harvard’s best season since the Crimson went 12-0 in 1901. Wide receivers Brian Edwards and Cory Mazza were each named All-Ivy. In 2005, his role switched to running backs coach and junior varsity head coach. The varsity Crimson finished 7-3, including a 30-24 win over Yale in triple overtime in New Haven. Junior running back Clifton Dawson was a unanimous All-Ivy pick after the season. Cersosimo spent the 2002-03 seasons as a graduate assistant coach at UConn, organizing the defensive scout team and mainly helping with the Husky tackles and tight ends. The Huskies recorded a 15-9 record during this period, the program’s first two as a member of the Division I-A classification. Amongst the program’s highlights over that span were wins over schools from four different BCS Conferences. In 2003, UConn ranked eighth in the nation in total offense (477.5- ypg), 10th in passing offense (297.92 ypg) and 17th in scoring offense (34.0 ppg). Cersosimo was a two-year starter at defensive back on the Springfield College football team, receiving the Unsung Hero Award in 2000 and the Coaches Award in 1999. He also received Springfield’s Dual Sport Athlete of the Year Award in 1998. Cersosimo was a two-year lacrosse captain at Springfield College, earning All-New England honors as a senior. He also served as an assistant lacrosse coach at Longmeadow High School in Longmeadow, Mass., in 2001 and 2002, in addition to coaching

Springfield’s wide receivers and special teams. Cersosimo boasts a deep coaching pedigree as his family is well established in the Connecticut high school ranks. His father, Rob, has served as head coach at Conard High School since 1984 while his grandfather, Bob McKee, was the head coach at West Hartford’s Hall High School from 1951 to 1956 before moving to Conard where he was head coach from 1957-1984. Cersosimo is a native of West Hartford, Conn. and received a pair of degrees from Springfield College, an undergraduate degree in 2000 in physical education and a master’s degree in health education in 2002. He is married to the former Megan Campbell, an All-BIG EAST women’s lacrosse player at UConn who served as the team’s head coach in 2007 and ‘08.

Mike Foley Offensive Line

veteran of northeastern football coaching, Mike Foley enters his fifth season as offensive line coach at Connecticut. Prior to UConn, Foley completed 21 seasons of involvement with the football team at his alma mater, Colgate University. He had served as the Raiders’ offensive coordinator and offensive line coach since 1997. Foley and his offensive line were a key factor in UConn’s outstanding rushing game in 2009 as the Huskies featured two 1,000-yard rushers in Jordan Todman and Andre Dixon. The line helped Donald Brown achieve the status of the nation’s leading rusher and first team All-America honors in 2008. In 2008, Foley coached First Team All-BIG EAST Conference selection Will Beatty at left tackle as Beatty later went on to play in the Senior Bowl and was selected in the second round of the NFL Draft by the New York Giants. In 2005, his final year at Colgate, the Raiders posted an 8-4 record and advanced to the NCAA Division I-AA Playoffs. Foley helped coach all seven of Colgate’s NCAA Playoff squads, including the 2003 team that advanced to the National Championship Game. Of the 13 seasons in which Colgate was eligible for the playoffs with Foley aboard, the team qualified seven times. Foley also played a role in each of Colgate’s five Patriot League Championship teams (1997, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2005). Colgate broke the league record for rushing yardage three times under his tutelage, and led the Patriot League five out of his last nine seasons. During his tenure as offensive coordinator (1997-2005), Foley produced 39 All-Patriot League players including 13 on the offensive line. His offensive schemes and the line’s blocking helped pave the way for a pair of Walter Payton Award winners, Kenny Gamble in 1987 and Jamal Branch in 2003. He began his coaching career as offensive line coach at Bates College in 1978, before moving the next fall to Dartmouth as the freshman offensive line coach for one season. After one season as offensive line coach at Holy Cross in 1980, he returned to his alma mater as junior varsity head coach and varsity receivers coach. After two seasons in that position, he took over as offensive line coach in 1983. Foley added the duties of offensive coordinator in 1984. In 1986, he served as interim head coach during the absence of head coach Fred Dunlap, who was recovering from bypass surgery. Following Dunlap’s retirement in 1987, Foley was named head coach of the Raiders, a title he held through 1992, compiling a 21-34 record. He returned to the

Redshirt junior quarterback Zach Frazer was 11 of 24 in the air for 127 yards and two passing touchdowns. Frazer, who started a pair of games last year and saw duty in a total of five, matched his entire 2008 passing TDs in the first night of 2009. The Husky defense picked up right where it left off last year after concluding the season ranked sixth in the NCAA in yards surrendered per game. UConn gave up just 247 yards, allowing only 90 in the second half. UConn had an outstanding defensive stop in the first quarter when Ohio took possession at the Husky six following an interception return. On a second-and-goal play, senior free safety Robert Vaughn picked up a fumble recovery from quarterback Theo Scott ending the threat. That turnover set up the only points of the first quarter for the Huskies when Frazer threw a four-yard TD pass to redshirt junior fullback Anthony Davis that capped a ten-play drive with 4:30 left to play. The Bobcats tied the game on a nifty 44-yard TD pass from Boo Jackson to Taylor Price on a third-and-long play with 3:58 left to play in the half. The Huskies came right back to take the halftime lead when Frazer led UConn on a seven play drive that was capped with a 35-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Brad Kanuch. UConn broke through in the second half scoring with a safety when the Husky defense forced Jackson down in the end zone for a seven-yard loss with 2:48 left in the quarter to make it 16-7. The Huskies took advantage of the free kick and marched the ball from their own 38 to a touchdown score on a four-yard run by Todman early in the fourth quarter to go up 23-7. Redshirt freshman tight end Ryan Griffin had two receptions for 26 yards. Senior tailback Andre Dixon also had two receptions for 20 yards and rushed the ball 19 times for 100 yards recording the fifth 100-yard rushing game of his career. Jackson led Ohio in passing and was 8 of 16 in the air for 117 yards and a TD. He also was the Bobcats leading rusher, running the ball for 20 yards.

Connecticut seemed to have control of the contest after sophomore tailback Jordan Todman bulled over from the four with 55 seconds remaining in the third quarter to give the Huskies a 10-0 lead. Connecticut had taken possession after Twyon Martin intercepted North Carolina quarterback T.J.Yates’ pass at the Tar Heel 26. Immediately, Cody Endres, playing after starting signal caller Zack Frazer was injured earlier in the quarter, connected with wide receiver Isiah Moore on an 11-yard completion and three plays later Todman put the Huskies up 10. However, the Tar Heels began to move the ball on offense for the first sustained drives of the game. The Connecticut defense, playing without injured standout linebacker Scott Lutrus, had allowed just -2 yards of rushing to the Heels through three quarters, but their nationally-ranked opponent began to wear them down. Yates led the Heels inside the Connecticut 10 before the drive stalled and North Carolina had to settle for a 22-yard field goal by Casey Barth with 10:56 remaining to play. After a three-and-out by the Huskies, Yates and reserve running back Ryan Houston teamed to lead North Carolina 76 yards in 13 plays, capped with a Yates to Zack Pianalto two-yard touchdown pass with 2:36 to play to knot the score. The Huskies took over after the kickoff, and after a mishandled snap, the Huskies faced third-and-22 from their own eight. Endres faded back and completed a pass to Todman, however left tackle Dan Ryan was called for holding in the end zone, giving the Tar Heels the decisive safety. Connecticut had one more chance as Dave Teggart’s onside kick was recovered by Alex Molina but the Huskies, after one first down, had their drive stall and the victory belonged to North Carolina. Todman led the Huskies with 66 yards on the ground on 18 carries. Brad Kanuch had a team-high four catches for 58 yards. Frazer finished 11-of-19 with one interception and 94 yards, while Endres finished with three completions in seven attempts for 30 yards. The Huskies defense was solid for most of the contest, recording six sacks and a total of nine tackles for loss. Lindsey Witten had four sacks, while Lawrence Wilson led the Huskies with 11 tackles.

The game was played before a crowd of 40,147 at Baylor’s Floyd Casey Stadium. Dixon was an All-BIG EAST Second Team selection in 2007 and had 828 yards of rushing. His playing time was limited last year with the play of All-American Donald Brown, but Dixon now has two 100-yard rushing games this year. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Cody Endres made his first start of the season and the third of his career. Endres was 12 of 23 in the air for 147 yards. UConn limited Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin to 20 yards of rushing and 119 yards of passing as the Husky defense sacked him twice. UConn took advantage of two Baylor fumbles early in the third quarter. The Bears fumbled the opening kickoff of the second half to give UConn the ball at the Bears 22. The Huskies moved the ball effectively and Dixon ran the ball 10 yards for a touchdown and a 20-7 UConn lead. Baylor then fumbled the ball on its first play from scrimmage of the second half to give UConn the ball at the Baylor 20. Sophomore Jordan Todman ran twice on the drive and caught a pass while Dixon had two carries - including a one-yard TD run to make it 27-7 Huskies with 10:49 to go in the third quarter. Baylor scored a touchdown on a five-yard run by Griffin with 7:41 left in the third quarter that capped an eight play, 40-yard drive to make it 27-14 UConn after three quarters. The Huskies led 13-7 at the halftime as UConn took a 10-7 lead on a one-yard scoring play by Dixon on the first play of the second quarter. That play capped a 12 play-66 yard drive that began in the first. UConn added three points on a 30-yard field goal by sophomore kicker Dave Teggart that made it 13-7 with 7:40 left in the half. On the final play of the half, Teggart had his third FG attempt of the game blocked. Both teams scored on their opening possessions. UConn had the ball first and marched to the Baylor 22 where sophomore Teggart nailed a 39-yard field goal 5:38 into the game. The Bears came right back on their next possession and scored on third play from scrimmage on a 69-yard run by Jay Finley to make it 7-3 as the first quarter ended.

Endres, making his second start of the season, completed 23-of-30 attempts for 289 yards and touchdowns to Andre Dixon and Mike Lang. The Huskies added 199 rushing yards led by Dixon, who had 98 yards on 17 carries, and Jordan Todman, who rushed for 70 yards on 15 carries and registered a career-best three rushing touchdowns. The game was the 1000th played in Connecticut football history, which dates back to 1896. The Huskies broke out from the gate quickly, scoring in just 1:58 when Endres hit Dixon from the Rhode Island 18 to put UConn on the board. On the following Ram possession, senior cornerback Robert McClain recorded the first of his two interceptions on the day to set the Huskies up at the Ram 37. Three Todman rushes later, the Huskies were back in the end zone, enjoying a 14-0 lead just 4:37 into the contest. Later in the quarter, Rhode Island scored its only touchdown of the game on a pretty 66-yard pass from Chris Paul-Etienne to Tyquan Bynum. The 14-7 deficit was the closest the Rams would get for the rest of the game. After another McClain interception, Todman capped an 11-play, 67-yard drive with an eight-yard scoring scamper, and right before intermission, redshirt sophomore placekicker Dave Teggart kicked a 19-yard field goal to put the Huskies ahead 24-7 at intermission. The Rams were held to just three first downs in the opening half, and committed three turnovers. Only two Endres sack-and-fumbles kept the Rams within striking distance. Midway through the third quarter, Todman bulled over from the two on a third-and-goal for his third rushing score of the contest. After another Ram punt, Endres found a wide open Lang for a 50-yard scoring strike, giving Lang his first career touchdown reception, and putting the Huskies safely ahead, 38-7. Redshirt sophomore tailback Robbie Frey scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, one on a 13-yard scamper and another on a 54-yard dash. Frey finished with 69 yards on five carries. Endres’ favorite target was sophomore wide receiver Michael Smith, who set career standards with eight catches and 82 receiving yards. Sophomore linebacker Lawrence Wilson was the defensive catalyst all game long. Wilson registered 12 tackles, recorded two of Connecticut’s three sacks and forced one fumble. Defensive tackle Twyon Martin had the other sack and had two tackles for loss.

UConn senior wide receiver Marcus Easley had a career day as he made two receptions for 100 yards, including a 79-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Cody Endres. Endres making his third start of the season and fifth of his career was 17 of 23 in the air for 197 yards. UConn was led in rushing by senior Andre Dixon, who had 16 carries for 95 yards. Pittsburgh quarterback Bill Stull was 21 of 31 in the air for 268 yards while Jonathan Baldwin had an impressive eight receptions for 104 yards. After punting after the opening possession of the second half, Husky safety Robert Vaughn returned an interception 20 yards for a touchdown to give UConn a 14-3 lead 3:38 into the second half. Vaughn had a total of two interceptions in the game. Hutchins kicked a 19-yard field goal with 7:49 to go in the third quarter to make it 14-6 UConn. The Husky defense did an outstanding job on the end of that drive after Pitt had moved the ball to first and goal on the Husky eight. UConn took a 21-6 lead with 3:56 to go in the third after Dixon scored on a two-yard run that capped an eight-play 61-yard drive. The Panthers then came right back to make it 21-13 as they had an eight-play 74-yard TD drive in the final moments of the third quarter. Stull completed a 26-yard TD pass to Jonathan Baldwin for the score. Pittsburgh tied the game at 21-21 with 7:35 to go on a 27-yard TD pass by Stull to Dorin Dickerson. Connecticut led 7-3 at halftime after it scored the only points of the second quarter on a 79-yard pass play from Endres to Easley. The play was the only one of the 10-second scoring drive and was the longest passing play for the Huskies since the 2004 season. The only points of the first quarter came on a 42-yard field goal by Hutchins that capped a nine play, 55-yard drive. Both teams squandered opportunities in the second quarter as Vaughn intercepted a Pitt pass in the end zone after the Panthers had moved the ball 77 yards. UConn then moved the ball 48 yards before Endres was hit by a pair of Pitt defenders and fumbled the ball.

Dixon set a career mark with 33 carries, which he turned into 153 yards rushing. His three scores matched the three rushing touchdowns he had against Baylor earlier in the season. Sophomore tailback Jordan Todman chipped in with 63 yards on just eight carries, and he recorded his sixth rushing touchdown of the campaign. The Connecticut passing game was solid as well as sophomore quarterback Cody Endres who completed 14-of-21 passes for 273 yards and one touchdown and one interception. His favorite target was senior Marcus Easley, who continued his offensive renaissance with career-bests of six catches and 108 yards, including a 16-yard touchdown reception. Connecticut scored first after redshirt freshman cornerback Blidi WrehWilson recorded his first career interception setting up a six-play, 71-yard drive that was capped by Dixon rambling in from the 16 to put the Huskies ahead, 7-0. Louisville tied the score after marching 80 yards in 19 plays to tie the score on a one-yard plunge by Bilal Powell on fourth down. The Cardinals converted five third downs on the drive. Connecticut answered right back as Endres connected with sophomore wide receiver Kashif Moore on a 67-yard pass and run. Five Dixon rushes later the Huskies took a lead they would never relinquish. Louisville scored late in the second quarter on another Powell score, but Ryan Payne’s extra point attempt was no good and the Huskies took a 14-13 lead into the locker room at intermission. The Cardinals were marching into Connecticut territory on their first possession of the third quarter but sophomore safety Aaron Bagsby stripped Powell and Lawrence Wilson recovered at the UConn 33. The Huskies made Louisville pay when Endres hit Easley for the touchdown pass. History quickly repeated itself as Powell was stripped by junior cornerback Jasper Howard, and Howard recovered putting the Huskies in business at their own four-yard line. Sophomore Dave Teggart’s 30-yard field goal capped an 83-yard, nine play drive and the Huskies led, 24-13. The Husky defense proceeded to record its fourth takeaway as senior cornerback Robert McClain recorded his 10th career interception. Four plays later, Dixon’s third rushing touchdown put the Huskies safely ahead, 31-13. Wilson had a huge game all afternoon, recording a season-high 16 tackles. Senior defensive end Lindsey Witten recorded 1.5 sacks in the contest, giving him 9.5 for the season.

Devine 56 run (Bitancourt kick)2:10 (6 plays, 80 yards, 1:40) Attendance-58,106 MORGANTOWN, W. Va. – A 56-yard touchdown run by Noel Devine with 2:10 remaining in the game gave West Virginia a 28-24 lead and the victory over the University of Connecticut football team before a crowd of 58,106 at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium. The game had an emotional start as there was a moment of silence for Connecticut junior cornerback Jasper Howard, who passed away early last Sunday. Following the moment of silence both teams had a pregame handshake at midfield. Sophomore quarterback Cody Endres had a career day for UConn as he finished with a career high completions going 25 of 41 in the air for a career best 378 yards and two touchdown passes. The leading rusher for the Huskies was Jordan Todman with 20 carries for 94 yards. Senior Marcus Easley led the team for the third week in a row crushing his previous career best receiving yards by catching five passes for 157 yards. With Endres’ 378 passing yards and Easley’s 157 receiving yards, this is the first time since Oct. 30, 2004 that the Huskies have had a 100-yard receiver and a 300yard passer when current Houston Texan Dan Orlovsky and Cornell Brockington completed the feat at Syracuse. Quarterback Jarrett Brown was 16 of 27 for West Virginia for 153 yards. Noel Devine finished with 23 carries for WVU for 178 yards and one TD after being held to just seven rushing yards in the first half. In the fourth quarter the Huskies were able to regain their lead off of an 88-yard touchdown catch from Endres to Easley, the fourth longest pass play in UConn football history and a career long pass and reception for the duo. The 88-yard pass was set up when Easley stripped Kent Richardson of the ball as Richardson was running back an interception. Redshirt freshman Ryan Griffin recovered the fumble to help put together the scoring drive. It was Devine’s 56-yard run from scrimmage that gave West Virginia the lead as they remain undefeated (6-0) against the Huskies in BIG EAST Conference games. Both teams squandered third quarter opportunities as each team missed a field goal on its first drive of the half and UConn had a lost fumble. The only score of the third gave WVU a 21-17 lead after three as Tyler Urban scored on a one-yard pass from Brown. That ended a quick four-play, 66-yard drive for the Mountaineers after they recovered a fumble. Devine had a 62-yard rush in that play. West Virginia got off to a quick 7-0 lead as Tavon Austin returned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown in the fastest score against the Huskies in the FBS era. UConn then scored the next 10 points of the game as Todman scored his seventh TD of the season on a five-yard run that wrapped up a nine-play, 67-yard drive with 5:46 left in the first quarter. Sophomore kicker Dave Teggart added a 38-yard field goal with 2:53 left in the half that wrapped up an eight-play, 51-yard drive. Each team scored a touchdown in the final minute of the first half. Brown had a five-yard TD run for WVU with 49 seconds to go to end an impressive ten-play, 81-yard drive. The Huskies came right back after a 38 yard kick return by Robbie Frey. Endres then completed a 16-yard pass to Kashif Moore for the touchdown with 0:21 remaining in the half.

The Huskies seemed to have won the game with 38 seconds to play when Jordan Todman scampered in from the two on a fourth down play to cap a 15-play, 87-yard drive. Connecticut converted a third down and two other fourth downs on that drive. The Huskies first lead of the game was short-lived as on the first play from scrimmage after the kickoff. Savage connected with Brown to put the Scarlet Knights ahead for good. The Huskies got to midfield on their final drive but were ultimately stifled. The Huskies, playing at Rentschler Field for the first time since the untimely passing of junior cornerback Jasper Howard, played most of the contest without starting quarterback Cody Endres, who left the contest midway through the first quarter with a shoulder injury. Endres was replaced by Zach Frazer, who threw for a career-high 333 yards, on 21-of-46 passing, but he was intercepted three times. The contest started inauspiciously for the Huskies as for the second straight week an opponent returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. Rutgers’ Devin McCourty took the opening kickoff and raced 98 yards untouched to put Rutgers ahead just 12 seconds into the game. The Huskies used a 50-yard kickoff return by Robbie Frey to spark a drive that was capped by a 37-yard field goal by Dave Teggart. The contest remained a 7-3 affair until midway through the second quarter when Savage hit Brown on a 37-yard scoring strike. But the Huskies answered right back when Frey took the ensuing kickoff back 100 yards for a touchdown, tying for the longest in school history. However, Rutgers marched right back down the field as Savage connected with Mark Harrison late in the second quarter on a 20-yard scoring play to give the Scarlet Knights a 21-10 lead that they took into halftime. The Huskies maintained that 11-point deficit until Frazer connected with Marcus Easley on a pretty 32-yard catch and run to bring the Huskies within five at 21-16. Connecticut went for a two-point conversion, which was successful when Frazer connected with tackle eligible Mike Ryan, but the play was ruled illegal touching and was overturned. The penalty set the ball back to the eight and the Huskies had to kick the extra point, which was good, but the Huskies now trailed by four, 21-17, and could not tie the score with a field goal. Todman finished the game with 68 yards on 13 carries, and he scored his eighth touchdown of the season. Redshirt freshman tight end Ryan Griffin set career marks with six catches and 80 receiving yards, while Easley finished with five grabs for 81 yards, and his fourth touchdown of the campaign. Lawrence Wilson, the BIG EAST’s leading tackler, had a team-high nine stops, while Greg Lloyd chipped in with eight tackles.

Sophomore Jordan Todman led the Huskies running for a career-best four touchdowns on a career high 162 yards. Cincy quarterback Zach Collaros was 29 of 37 in the air for 480 passing yards and one touchdown to help the Bearcats to remain undefeated.

Connecticut junior quarterback Zach Frazer was 19 of 32 in the air for 261 yards. Todman led the team in rushing with 26 carries for 162 yards and four touchdowns. Senior Marcus Easley was the top-receiver for the Huskies with six catches for 87 yards and a touchdown. Easley has recorded a TD in five-straight games. The two teams traded touchdowns on their opening possessions as the Bearcats drove down the field 80 yards on eight plays to score on a one-yard run by Isaiah Pead less than three minutes into the game. The Huskies came right back and moved the ball 79 yards in 11 plays as Todman had his first score of the night on a six-yard run to tie the game at 7-7. Cincinnati scored the next 10 points on a 41-yard field goal by Jacob Roberts with 4:57 to go in the first quarter and a four-yard TD run by Collaros to complete a 10 play-87 yard drive in the second quarter. Husky kicker Dave Teggart kicked a 42-yard field goal with 9:47 to go in the half to bring UConn to within seven at 17-10, but the Bearcats then scored 13 points to make it 30-10 Cincy at the half. UConn scored a pair of touchdowns in the third quarter as Todman scored a TD on a 46-yard run with 9:59 left in the quarter and senior Robert McClain had an 87-yard punt return for a TD with 2:08 left in the third. Collaros had a 28-yard TD run in the quarter for Cincy’s only score of the quarter. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Frazer connected with sophomore Kashif Moore on a 52-yard pass to set up Todman’s third touchdown of the night. Moore initially looked like he had the score, but was down at the one-yard line as Todman capitalized just a play later. Easley had the two-point conversion to cut the lead to just eight. Todman recorded his career best fourth touchdown run of the game with five minutes remaining to pull the Huskies within two points. Frazer was sacked on the two-point attempt. It looked like the Huskies had stopped Cincinnati on their final drive of the game and they started well, forcing a fourth down. But the Bearcats went for it and Isaiah Pead broke free from the defense to run in a 14-yard score putting Cincy up by nine with just 1:52 remaining. A late TD brought the Huskies to within two again, but UConn’s onside kick attempt failed.

The duo of sophomore tailback Jordan Todman and Dixon carried the game for the Huskies. Todman led all running backs with 26 carries for 130 yards while Dixon had 20 carries for 114 yards, 96 of those yards coming in the fourth quarter and overtime periods. Junior quarterback Zach Frazer, who originally attended Notre Dame, was 12 of 25 in the air for 141 yards. This is the third time this season that Todman and Dixon have combined for 100yard efforts in a game and the first time since the Baylor game. Jimmy Clausen led Notre Dame by passing for 329 yards on a 30 for 45 effort while Golden Tate was impressive with nine receptions for 123 yards and one TD. In the second overtime, Notre Dame had the first possession as the strong Husky defense forced the Fighting Irish to kick a field goal that was good for the 30-27 lead. But the Huskies responded as Dixon bullied his way into the endzone to help the Huskies to the first win in the last four weeks. Notre Dame won the coin toss at the beginning of the overtime period electing to go second. After taking a shot at the endzone on the first play in OT, UConn capped their 25-yard drive with an 11-yard touchdown pass from Frazer to Kashif Moore to take the seven-point 27-20 lead. The Fighting Irish responded with a touchdown of their own just four plays later tying the game at 27-27. During the extra point attempt the Huskies got a hand on the ball but couldn’t derail it enough as the game was sent into a second overtime. Two would-be touchdowns by Dixon in the final minutes were negated by holding calls against the Huskies forcing UConn to kick a field goal that tied the game up at 20-20 with 1:10 left in regulation. Teggart then connected on the 29-yarder. On the Fighting Irish’s next drive, Armando Allen fumbled the ball after grabbing a first down. The fumble was forced by Kendall Reyes and recovered by Robbie Vaughan setting up the potential game-winning 37-yard field goal which missed wide left to send the game into overtime. At the end of the third period, the game was knotted up at 17-17. Notre Dame marched the ball 77 yards on its first possession of the second half, but the Husky defense held tight stopping the Fighting Irish on the third down at the one-yard line and limiting the Irish to a 20-yard field goal by David Ruffer. Todman then took the ensuing kickoff and returned it 96 yards for a touchdown to even the game up at 17-17 on his first career kick return for a touchdown. Ruffer broke the 17-17 tie with a 20-yard field goal with 10:47 left in the game to give the Irish a 20-17 lead on an 11 play-47 yard drive. Notre Dame started the game off with a 14-0 lead. On the first drive, the Irish moved the ball 69 yards as Clausen scored on an eight-yard pass to Golden Tate. The Irish scored again early in the second quarter on a one-yard TD run by Clausen. UConn shutout the Irish the rest of the half and put ten points on the board themselves. The Huskies broke into the scoring column on a 43-yard TD run by Todman on a second and 11 play. That drive was seven plays for 75 yards. Teggart connected on a 39-yard field goal with 3:14 left in the half. UConn’s defense was impenetrable in the second half led by junior Lawrence Wilson, who was just one shy of his career-high with 16 tackles and a fumble recovery. Scott Lutrus had 14 tackles.

The victory makes the Huskies bowl-eligible for the third consecutive season. The Huskies scored on their first possession after holding Syracuse to a threeand-out on the game’s opening possession and Orange punter Rob Long’s punt got caught up in the brisk wind that plagued the entire contest and went just 13 yards. Eight plays later, Dixon scored from the four to put the Huskies in front and give them a lead they would never relinquish. After a Syracuse field goal, Mike Lang returned the ensuing kickoff 80 yards for the Huskies’ third kickoff return for a touchdown of the season. Ryan Nassib, who split quarterbacking duties for the Orange with Greg Paulus, connected with Mike Owen on a four-yard touchdown to bring Syracuse within four, at 14-10. Later in the second quarter, Twyon Martin recovered a Delone Carter fumble setting up the Huskies at the Syracuse 43. One play later, sophomore running back Jordan Todman rambled in from the 37 to put the Huskies ahead, 21-10. The run gave Todman exactly 1,000 rushing yards this season and the score was Todman’s 15th touchdown on the season. Todman finished with 123 yards on 25 carries, the most yards surrendered this season on the ground by a back by Syracuse, who entered the contest as the ninth-stingiest against the run in the nation. He now has 1,079 yards this season (ninth-best at Connecticut) and has 14 rushing touchdowns, which is fifth-best at Connecticut. Alec Lemon caught a three-yard touchdown pass from Paulus with just 1:08 to play before intermission, but the Huskies quickly answered before halftime. The key play on the drive before Dixon capped the drive with a one-yard run was a 42-yard pass from Zach Frazer to Marcus Easley. The Huskies continued their offensive domination in the second half when they marched 80 yards in 15 plays that saw Frazer hit Easley with an 8-yard touchdown pass. Paulus hit Lavar Lobdell with a 12-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the fourth quarter, but Connecticut answered right back when Dixon scurried in from the 45 to give the Huskies a 42-24 lead. Carter capped an 84-yard drive with a 10-yard scoring run, but late in the game, with the Huskies facing a fourth-and-11 from the Syracuse 28, Frazer connected again with Easley on a touchdown pass to put the Huskies ahead 49-31. Syracuse wide receiver Antwon Bailey caught a pass from Paulus and tried to lateral to Lemon, but the ball was fumbled and Connecticut’s Dwayne Gratz scooped up the errant ball and took it to the end zone with the recovery. Dixon added 73 yards to Todman’s total as the Huskies rushed for 204 yards. Frazer finished the day with 13 for 21 with one interception and the two touchdowns to Easley. Easley, who did not score a touchdown in his first 26 games at Connecticut, has now scored in six of his last seven contests. He finished with six catches, 105 receiving yards and his first multiple-touchdown game of his career. Even though the Connecticut defense surrendered 489 yards of total offense to the Orange, Wilson seemed to be everywhere on the field. He had 17 tackles (12 primary) and had one sack.

The game was Senior Night for 16 Huskies who played their final game for Connecticut. The Huskies seemed destined for a sixth heartbreaking loss this season when South Florida redshirt freshman quarterback B.J. Daniels scored his third touchdown of the game with just 40 seconds remaining to put the Bulls ahead 27-26. The two-point pass attempt by Daniels was incomplete and the Huskies were still alive. Sophomore Jordan Todman returned the kickoff 21 yards to the UConn 44. Connecticut quarterback Zach Frazer, who was terrific throughout the contest, led the Huskies down the field. Completions to Ryan Griffin, Andre Dixon and Kashif Moore put the Huskies at the USF 26, and Dixon ran the ball to the middle of the field to setup Teggart’s winning attempt. Derek Chard’s snap was true, Desi Cullen’s hold was perfect and Teggart drilled the kick to win the contest for the Huskies. Frazer completed 20-of-30 pass attempts for 225 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. His favorite target once again was senior Marcus Easley, who snagged eight balls for 122 yards and one touchdown. Dixon, who rushed for 50 yards leaving him just 33 shy of 1,000 on the season, scored two touchdowns in the game. He has now scored 14 touchdowns this season, 13 on the ground. The Huskies scored first midway through the first quarter when Dixon scooted in from the 12 after Frazer connected with Easley on a 44-yard bomb. Cullen mishandled the snap on the extra-point attempt and the Huskies settled for a 6-0 lead. The Bulls took a brief 7-6 lead on a 14-yard touchdown run by Mike Ford with 2:33 to play before halftime, but the Huskies answered right back when they marched 51 yards in six plays on a drive that was capped by a Frazer to Easley 21-yard scoring strike. Connecticut increased its lead to 20-7 midway through the third quarter when Frazer hooked up with Isiah Moore on a five-yard touchdown pass. However, the Bulls struck right back when Daniels scored from the Connecticut two after a five-play drive. The Huskies had a chance to increase their lead but Jason Pierre-Paul blocked Teggart’s 46-yard field goal. The Bulls took advantage, marching 66 yards in nine plays, the last 27 yards on a Daniels ramble. Dixon gave the Huskies the lead back again when he scored from the one with just 4:02 remaining, but the Huskies razzle-dazzle attempt on the two-point conversion (a Statue of Liberty pass attempt from Frazer to Easley) was incomplete and the Huskies led by five, 26-21. South Florida calmly marched down the field, converting on a fourth-and-two when Daniels hooked up with Carlton Mitchell on a 20-yard pass that set up the Bulls with a first-and-goal. Two plays later Daniels scored setting the stage for Teggart’s lategame heroics. Todman led the Huskies with 73 rushing yards, and now has 1,152 rushing yards this season. Junior linebacker Scott Lutrus had a huge game for the Connecticut defense. He recorded 11 tackles, registered one and half sacks and recovered a fumble. Jesse Joseph had seven tackles, including two for 24 yards in losses.

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. Connecticut finishes their season with an 8-5 record while South Carolina drops to 7-6 on the season. 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 running 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 tiptoed 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 quarter 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 USC 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 remaining in the game capitalizing on a blocked punt and scoring on a two-play 40-yard drive. Alex Molina recovered an onside kick for the Huskies as UConn ran out the clock.

1897

1919

1896 The 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. 1899 Storrs Agricultural College changes its name to Connecticut Agricultural College. 1901 The 1901 squad finished 8-2 and registered six shutouts on the season, including five straight in one stretch. Rhode Island was the only intercollegiate 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. 1919 Gardner 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, baseball, soccer, lacrosse and track meets.

1934

1923 Connecticut enters the New England Conference, which includes all New England state schools except for the University of Vermont. 1924 This 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” Martin “Red” O’Neill – O’Neill is the school’s first All-America UConn’s first All-America candidate, leading the 1923 and 1924 teams. Candidate 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. 1934 First 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). 1935 First football team to come in early for preseason camp at the expense of the school.

Gardner Dow

1939 First 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.

1945 1942, 1944-1945 During the war years, head coach J.O. Christian and the Huskies put together a three-year stretch like none other in school history. In that three-season span (with no football being played in 1943), Connecticut won 20 of 24 contests. The Huskies registered separate winning streaks of six, eight and five games and shutout their opponents in 13 of the 20 wins. 1945 UConn tailback Walt Trojanowski shares the NCAA scoring title with Doc Blanchard of Army. Both men scored 132 points on the season. 1947 UConn becomes a charter member of the Yankee Conference. 1953 Memorial Stadium opens with a 26-6 Connecticut win over St. Lawrence on October 10, 1953. The 1953 season also marked the first appearance at a football game for the marching band. 1956-1960 UConn captures five straight Yankee Conference Championships, a league-record for consecutive titles won or shared. During that span, the Huskies compile a 17-1-2 record in Yankee Conference play and go 18 league contests before their lone loss in the stretch, to New Hampshire. 1965 UConn beats Yale for the first time ever (pictured on page 142), on September 25, 1965, 13-6. UConn becomes the first school from within the state of Connecticut to ever beat Yale. 1969 UConn joins the NCAA in celebrating the 100th anniversary of college football by selecting an 11-member All-Time UConn team. More than 130 UConn football players receive votes in the balloting of fans, alumni and former players.

1965

1967-73 Connecticut captures four Yankee Conference championships in a seven-season span, going 27-6-3 in league play during that stretch. 1983 Linebackers John Dorsey and Vernon Hargreaves become the first teammates in UConn football history to earn All-America honors in the same season. The duo combined for more than 300 tackles and helped UConn to a share of the Yankee Conference Championship. 1989 UConn plays the first night game in the history of Memorial Stadium on September 23, 1989, and defeats New Hampshire, 20-10. 1990 Matt DeGennaro finishes his Husky career as the leading passer in the history of the Yankee Conference, totaling 9,288 yards and 73 touchdowns. 1995 UConn matches the most successful start in school history by winning its first six games of the year. Senior captain Wilbur Gilliard becomes the all-time leading rusher in school history. Gilliard finishes his career with 2,624 rushing yards. The 1995 team finishes 8-3 and ties the school record for wins in a season. The squad finished the year ranked No. 23 in the national I-AA top 25. 1998 UConn football celebrates its 100th season with a school-record 10 wins and advances to the NCAA I-AA football playoffs for the first time. UConn defeats Hampton, 42-34, in its first playoff game and advances to the NCAA Quarterfinals. The Huskies finish the season ranked No. 7 in the national I-AA rankings. Senior quarterback Shane Stafford is the only active player named to the UConn Football 100th Anniversary AllTime Team and finishes his career in the top two of every quarterbacking category in school history. 1999 Randy Edsall becomes UConnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 27th head coach and leads the Huskies through their final season in Division I-AA. UConn finishes 4-7, but wins its first ever game against a Division I-A opponent, beating Buffalo 23-0 on September 16.

2004

2000 UConn begins play as a Division I-A Independent. The team earns two wins over Division I-A opponents and sets a single-season record for average home attendance (14,166), playing before the three largest crowds in school history (all advance sellouts) in their first three home games. 2001 UConn earned its first-ever victory over a BIG EAST opponent as Marc Hickok nailed a career-long 47-yard field goal with 3:04 remaining in the game to lift the Huskies to a 20-19 win over Rutgers. 2002 UConn has a breakthrough season, posting a 6-6 record, including a win at Big 12 member Iowa State, which would advance to a bowl game. For the first time, the NCAA included UConn in the Division I-A statistics and the Huskies placed in the national top five in passing defense and ranked 19th in total defense. Terry Caulley was the nation’s leading freshman rusher with 1,247 yards on the year. The Huskies closed a 50-year run at Memorial Stadium with a 63-21 win over Kent State in which Caulley tied an NCAA record by scoring four touchdowns in one quarter. The Huskies averaged a record 15,807 fans at Memorial Stadium during its final season. 2003 UConn made its debut at Rentschler Field, playing to 93% capacity (37,059). The large home crowds helped push the Huskies to a 9-3 record, including a 34-10 win over Big Ten member Indiana on opening day. 2004 UConn made its debut as a member of the BIG EAST Conference in style as the Huskies finished one game back of the leaders and earned a berth in the Motor City Bowl. With an 8-4 record on the year, UConn’s run of 23 wins from 2002-04 is the most successful three-year span in school history. The Huskies led the conference in both total offense and total defense while Cornell Brockington led the BIG EAST with 1,218 rushing yards. UConn sets a record by posting a 6-1 mark in home games at Rentschler Field, which is sold out for six of the team’s home dates on the year. In all, the Huskies made their first five live national television appearances during the season. The run culminated with a

2009

39-10 rout over Mid-American Conference Champion Toledo in the Motor City Bowl as the Huskies were victorious in their bowl game debut behind game MVP Dan Orlovsky. 2007 UConn captured its first-ever BIG EAST Championship and appeared in the Meineke Car Care Bowl, selling out its allotment of 12,500 tickets for the game in Charlotte, N.C. During the season, UConn earned its first-ever national rankings, peaking at No. 16 in the AP Poll and No. 13 in the BCS. UConn became just the second BIG EAST team to ever go 7-0 at home by sweeping all seven games played at Rentschler Field. The Huskies, who went 9-4 overall and 5-2 in BIG EAST games, defeated three teams which were ranked in the Top 10 nationally at some point during the year. 2008 UConn advanced to a bowl in consecutive seasons for the first time in school history and defeated Buffalo in the 2009 International Bowl in Toronto. The Huskies started the season with a 5-0 record and also earned a weekly national ranking for the second-straight season at No. 24 in early October. Running back Donald Brown led the country in rushing with 2,083 yards and became UConn’s first All-American since the program moved to the FBS. Brown was also named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year – UConn’s first-ever BIG EAST individual award winner. Following the season, the Huskies had four players taken in the first two rounds of the NFL Draft. Brown became the program’s first First Round draft as he was selected by the Indianapolis Colts while three Huskies went in the Second Round – Darius Butler by the New England Patriots, William Beatty by the New York Giants and Cody Brown by the Arizona Cardinals. 2009 Connecticut advances to a bowl game for the third-straight season and posts a 20-7 win over South Carolina. The Huskies endured an emotional season with the death of teammate Jasper Howard on Oct. 19, but came back to win its final four games, including a 33-30 double overtime win at Notre Dame.

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 Orlovsky’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 singlegame 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 second 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.

TEAM STATISTICS

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 touchdown 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 touchdown 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.

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 running 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 tiptoed 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 quarter 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 remaining in the game capitalizing on a blocked punt and scoring on a two-play 40-yard drive. Alex Molina recovered an onside kick for the Huskies as UConn ran out the clock.

UConn and t h e N FL

number of former University of Connecticut football players have gone on to be drafted or signed free agent contracts with National Football League teams. History was made for UConn football during the 2009 regular season as nine Huskies appeared on NFL regular season rosters – an all-time high for the program. In addition, three other Husky players appeared on NFL practice squads in 2009. Following the 2008 season, UConn had four players picked in the 2009 NFL Draft. The four selections, all in the first two rounds, was another high mark for UConn and the 2009 Draft also marked the Huskies first-ever First Round pick in running back Donald Brown. UConn became the first BIG EAST Conference team to have four players selected among the first 63 in a single NFL Draft since the league was restructured for the 2005 season. UConn also had two players selected in the 2010 NFL Draft. On these pages are listings of UConn players that have either been drafted by NFL teams, made an active regular season roster, or have signed free agent contracts with teams in the NFL.

A REMARKABLE

TRANsFORMATION A Campus

for the

21st Century

• UConn continues to renew, rebuild and enhance our campuses through an unprecedented $2.8 billion, 20-year investment in the University’s infrastructure. UCONN 2000 is the most ambitious publicly financed university building program in the country. • Now in its 16th year, UCONN 2000 has invigorated the University’s living and learning environments, helped advance faculty research, and stimulated public and private investment. This transformation revitalizes the state’s future by providing the means for the University to attract high-achieving students, prestigious faculty, and funding from public grants and private donors. Before the landmark program, Connecticut had one of the highest ratios of students attending college out-ofstate. Today that trend has been dramatically reversed. • Applications continue to be on the rise with nearly 23,000 applicants competing for 3,200 seats at the main campus in Storrs and 1,200 seats at the regional campuses. • For the fifth consecutive year, more than half of the applicants are out-ofstate students, comprising 33 percent of the incoming class.

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 brand new $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.

The Storr s C e n t e r P r o j e c t

Storrs Center Creating a “Main Street” for Mansfield

ain Street is the heart and the soul of a community, a place to meet friends for dinner before the game, to run daily errands, to enjoy the local music scene, or to buy a newspaper to read while sipping your morning coffee. Main Street is the magic that can transform a street into a neighborhood, buildings into a village, or a small town into a regional destination. In 2001, the Town of Mansfield teamed with UConn to form the Mansfield Downtown Partnership and set about creating its own “Main Street” area, Storrs Center. Storrs Center will be a mixed-use town center and main street corridor at the crossroads of the Town and the University. Located along Storrs Road/Route 195 adjacent to the University, the Town Hall, E.O. Smith High School, and the Mansfield Community Center, Storrs Center will include a town square, pedestrian-oriented streets, small lanes, and public spaces. There will be a variety of shops, restaurants, cafés, and residential options, which will attract all ages and interests and provide spaces for the community to gather. The Mansfield Downtown Partnership and master developer LeylandAlliance have worked diligently to make the vision of Storrs Center a reality. Some of their recent progress includes the signing of letters of intent from several local, regional, and national businesses; the preparation of final construction documents for improvements to Storrs Road and Dog Lane; and initiation of the selection of a designer for the parking garage and intermodal center. As progress continues, excitement about the project has steadily grown. The Partnership has garnered support from a variety of Mansfield residents, as evidenced by its 340 members. Another sign of the broad support this project enjoys is the over $22.5 million in state and federal funding

192

the Storrs Center project has received. Mansfield residents, local, state, and regional officials, and proponents of sustainable development, such as 1,000 Friends of Connecticut and CT Main Street Center, all recognize the value the new downtown will bring to the town, region, and state. With major approvals in hand, businesses signed on, and a significant amount of grant monies received, the Partnership and LeylandAlliance are continuing to prepare for the beginning of construction. Negotiations between LeylandAlliance and prospective tenants are on-going. In addition to leasing agreements, other pre-requisites to construction include parking commitments for the first phase and financing commitments, both private and public. For more information, please visit www.storrscenter.com or contact the Mansfield Downtown Partnership at 860-429-2740 or mdp@mansfieldct.org.

Director of Athletics

Jeffrey Hathaway J

effrey A. Hathaway has provided effective leadership for the University of Connecticut Division of Athletics as he enters his eighth year in that position. At the same time, he has also become a leader for college athletics on both the national and conference level. He has played a vital role in the success story of UConn athletics for 19 of the past 21 years as he was the Executive Associate Director of Athletics at the school from 1990-2001.In his only two years away from the Storrs campus, Hathaway enjoyed a successful tenure as the Director of Athletics at Colorado State University from 2001-03. His first seven years as UConn’s Director of Athletics have arguably been the most successful in school history. The 2009-10 academic year was another successful campaign. The football team played in its third-straight bowl game and won its second consecutive while the women’s basketball team won the national championship with a perfect record for the second-straight year. In addition, the men’s soccer, women’s soccer, field hockey, men’s basketball and baseball teams all qualified for postseason tournament play. UConn was also selected as one of 16 regional hosts for the NCAA baseball tournament. The women’s ice hockey team also spent most of the year ranked in the top 10 of the country. Hathaway also directed UConn to reach an agreement with IMG College, a division of IMG Worldwide, during the 2009-10 academic year. This 10-year athletics multi-media rights partnership is worth more than $80 million in guaranteed payments to the University. In 2007-08, UConn successfully completed the NCAA certification process. The institution was previously certified, once every 10 years as set forth by the NCAA, in 1998. Hathaway provided leadership for a comprehensive, year-long self study of the operations in the Division of Athletics, a site visit by a peer review team, a NCAA certification committee’s review of the self-study and a report by the peer review team. The Division also reached new long-term agreements with two of its media partners in recent years – Connecticut Public Television for women’s basketball and WTIC radio for football and men’s and

196

women’s basketball. UConn also completed a landmark ten-year, $46 million corporate partnership agreement with Nike, Inc. to exclusively provide footwear, apparel and equipment for Husky athletics. In addition to his leadership role at UConn, Hathaway is entering his fourth-year of a five-year term on the prestigious NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee representing the BIG EAST Conference. As a member of the ten-person committee, Hathaway takes part in the selection and administration of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship and the administration of the CBS television contract. Hathaway will serve as chairman of that committee in 2011-12. He is only the fourth individual in the history of the BIG EAST Conference to serve on the committee, joining Dave Gavitt, Jake Crouthamel and Mike Tranghese. Hathaway is a member of the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association Board of Trustees and on the Executive Committee of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Some significantly historic achievements have occurred during Hathaway’s time as Director of Athletics. UConn became the first school to win the NCAA Division I men’s and women’s basketball championships in the same year (2004) and the football team was victorious in its first ever bowl game - the 2004 Motor City Bowl. Private fundraising for UConn athletics continues to provide exceptional academic and athletic opportunities for student-athletes. UConn secured a gift of $2.5 million from alumnus Mark Shenkman in 2004 for the building of the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center, an intercollegiate and recreational services facility that serves the entire university community. Under Hathaway’s guidance, the Division of Athletics received the University’s Environmental Leadership Award for the construction of The Burton Family Football Complex and the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center. The two buildings are the University’s first projects certified as meeting the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards for “green” buildings. At its 13th annual awards ceremony in March of 2008, the Connecticut Real Estate Exchange presented UConn with the “Green

2010 UConn Football Media Guide UConnHuskies.com

D i r e c t o r o f A t h l e t i c s J e f f r e y H a thaway Building Award” for these environmentally-friendly facilities. In his role as Director, Hathaway also oversees UConn’s Recreational Services program. Serving the entire University community, approximately 580,000 individual uses were logged last year, reflecting the popularity of the diverse health and fitness offerings to students, faculty and staff. Hathaway leads a head coaching staff that is one of the most experienced in the country. UConn has 13 head coaches that have been in their current position 10 or more years as of the 2010-11 academic year, including women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma (26th year in 2010-11), men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun (25th) and football coach Randy Edsall (12th). The University recently completed a long term contract extension with Calhoun. UConn has the distinction of being the only school in the nation with two active Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame coaches in Calhoun (Class of 2005 inductee) and Auriemma (Class of 2006 inductee). Hathaway was also a key factor in the opening of Rentschler Field in 2003 – the country’s newest and most modern BCS college football facility. During Hathaway’s career, he has always made the student-athlete the top priority. In the spring and fall semesters of the 2009 calendar year, UConn’s student-athletes excelled in the classroom as nearly 50% of the 650 studentathletes achieved a 3.0 “B-or better” semester grade point average. In addition, the Division of Athletics has consistently maintained a 99 percent retention rate among its student-athletes. “My focus is on the student-athlete,” says Hathaway. “That’s the most important part of our program. Our primary mission is the continued academic success of our student-athletes. The challenge is to identify people early in the process and assist them in charting a career path. In addition, we want to provide a quality experience in intercollegiate athletics for our student-athletes.” The University of Connecticut was saluted for its community service efforts by the National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS) three times under Hathaway’s watch for its community service efforts. UConn was also honored by the NCAS in 2006 and ’07 for its efforts to assist former student-athletes in earning their college degree. In the 2006-07 academic year, Hathaway served on the University search committee to hire Vice President/Chief Operating Officer Barry Feldman and Executive Director of the Alumni Association Lisa Lewis. He is currently a member of the search committee for the University’s new president. Hathaway’s leadership has earned him respect and recognition both on the national and local levels. He was one of four finalists for the “Athletic Director of the Year” in the spring of 2008 at the inaugural Sports Business Awards by Street and Smith’s Sports Business Journal. In the summers of 2007 and ‘10, Hathaway was honored by NACDA as the AstroTurf Athletic Director of the Year for Division I-A in the Northeast region (which includes the New England states and New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Jersey). In 2004, The Sporting News named Hathaway to its “Power 100 List” comprised of the 100 most powerful people in sports. He received the Joseph J. Fontana Distinguished Service Award from the Connecticut High School Coaches Association in the spring of 2005. In the winter of 2006, Hathaway received the General Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award from the All-American Football Foundation. During his tenure at both Colorado State and UConn, he was a member

of the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet, as well as the Postseason Football Licensing Subcommittee, which is responsible for issues involving postseason football competition and the certification of bowl games. On the conference level, Hathaway was the chair of the BIG EAST Athletic Directors Executive Committee through November of 2009. He is also past chairman of the BIG EAST Championship and Competition Committee as well as the league’s Finance Committee. Hathaway has served as a guest presenter at both the NACDA and NACMA (National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators) conventions in the past. In addition, he has also served as a lecturer at the IA Institute sponsored by the Division I-A Athletic Directors’ Association, held annually in Dallas. Hathaway originally came to Connecticut in November of 1990 as Senior Associate Athletic Director. In that role, he oversaw the day-to-day operations of the Division of Athletics. He served internally as a program administrator for several sports, including men’s and women’s basketball and men’s and women’s soccer at UConn as the Huskies won four national championships in those sports during his tenure - two in women’s basketball (1995 and 2000) and one each in men’s basketball (1999) and men’s soccer (2000). Hathaway was also the program administrator for football. He played a critical role in the upgrade of the football program to Division I-A status as UConn became the first ever school to transition from the I-AA level to a BCS football conference. During Hathaway’s tenure at Colorado State, he oversaw a 15-sport program - nine women’s teams and six men’s. The Ram football team made a pair of bowl appearances while Hathaway was at CSU. The men’s basketball team won the Mountain West Conference tournament in March of ‘03 and advanced to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 13 years. The women’s basketball team advanced to postseason play twice, including a trip to the second round of the NCAA tournament in 2002 and the semifinals of the 2003 Women’s NIT. Hathaway was an extremely successful fundraiser during his time in Fort Collins. The school drew national attention for a $15.2 million gift from the Bohemian Foundation and president Pat Stryker for football stadium renovations and expansion. Prior to his first stint at UConn, Hathaway served in a number of capacities at his alma mater - the University of Maryland - from 1982-90, including Assistant Athletics Director for Marketing and Promotions, Acting Assistant Athletics Director for Business Affairs, Athletics Business Manager and men’s basketball trainer. Hathaway earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Administration from the University of Maryland in 1981. He later received a Master’s Degree in General Administration (1991) from the University of Maryland and is currently continuing work on a PhD in Educational Leadership from the University of Connecticut. He attended The Sports Management Institute at the Universities of Notre Dame and Southern California. Hathaway also completed the Management Development Program at Harvard University. Born June 20, 1959, in Cheverly, Md., Hathaway and his wife Paula have two children: Meghan (October 15, 1991) and Michael (June 11, 1995).

“The Husky Walk” A new pregame tradition was started in 2007 at Rentschler Field as UConn fans got a chance to greet the Huskies as they arrive at the stadium. “The Husky Walk” takes place about two-and-a-half hours before each game as the UConn buses pull up to Gate D of the stadium and the players make their way to Gate C.

JONATHAN THE HUSKY MASCOT The 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 on hand for the ’09 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 “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 Husky Symbol 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, Connecticut Connecticut Husky, Connecticut Husky, Connecticut C-O-N-N-U. Fight! (Repeat first verse)

Once more, as we gather today To sing our alma mater’s praise And join in the fellowship strong That inspires our college days. We’re backing our teams in the strife Cheering them to victory. We pledge anew To old Connecticut, Our steadfast spirit of loyalty.

When time shall have severed us far And the years their changes bring, The thought of the college we love In our memories will cling. For friendships that ever remain And associations dear We’ll raise a song To old Connecticut And join our voices in our long cheer

Connecticut, Connecticut Thy sons and daughters true Unite to honor thy name Our fairest white and blue.

VICTORY BELL An 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 Home of Husky Football

Rentschler Field

ome college football teams play in stadiums that put fans so close to the action that the spectators feel like they can reach out and touch the players. These stadiums are intimate and are part of what has made college football special. Other stadiums are ultra-modern edifices that feature the latest in facilities such as luxurious suites and spacious locker rooms. The home of University of Connecticut football — Rentschler Field — happens to be both. The stadium is one of the the newest and most modern BCS college football stadium in the country. Rentschler Field, located in East Hartford, opened on Aug. 30, 2003, as the Huskies defeated Big Ten Conference member Indiana, 34-10. UConn has now played 45 games in the facility over the past seven seasons and has posted an impressive 33-12 record at Rentschler Field – including a perfect 7-0 mark in 2007 to set a UConn single-season record for home wins. The Huskies have sold out 27 of their 45 Rentschler Field games, including a streak of 12 in a row. UConn has played to a 96 percent of capacity during its time there before a total of 1,733 ,960 fans. The building of the facility and its management is the result of incredible teamwork and dedication between the state’s Office of Policy and Management, the town of East Hartford, United Technologies Corporation and the assistance from 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 Rentschler Field is 26 feet below grade at the stadium, which features stadium seating, outdoor chairback seating, fully enclosed club seats and luxury suites.

The “original” Rentschler Field, an airfield which later saw the likes of Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart, was dedicated on May 24, 1931. Those taking part in the ceremonies were (left to right): Donald Brown, President of Pratt & Whitney Aircraft; United States Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut; Edward A. Deeds, United Aircraft Board of Directors; F. Trubee Davison, Assistant Secretary of War; Frederick B. Rentschler, Founder of Pratt & Whitney Aircraft and Chairman of United Aircraft Corporation (now United Technologies Corporation).

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 serves as the home of the annual Governors’ Cup High School All-Star game between Connecticut and Rhode Island. International rugby matches have been played at Rentschler Field in the summers of 2004, ’05 and ‘08. The facility is becoming 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

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 United Technologies and sits on a former airfield — Rentschler Field — which opened in 1931 and saw the likes of Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart. In addition 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 servicing 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.

J. Robert D o n n e l l y H u s k y H e r i t a g e S p o r t s M u s e u m

J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage

Sports Museum T

he sights and sounds of more than a century of intercollegiate athletics competition come alive during a visit to the J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum. Located in the new and expanded UConn Alumni Center in the heart of the University of Connecticut’s main campus in Storrs, the Husky Heritage Sports Museum is the ultimate library documenting the wide-ranging successes of Connecticut’s athletic programs. The state-of-the-art design and layout of the 2,700 square foot Husky Heritage Sports Museum, named after benefactor and 1940 Connecticut basketball and football captain J. Robert (Bob) Donnelly (shown above with wife M.J.), vividly captures all of the energy, excitement and enthusiasm that is associated with “Huskymania”. Donnelly passed away on Sept. 26, 2005. The visitors’ UConn experience begins with the University of Connecticut “National Champions” Gallery. This unique museum addition, located in the entrance foyer of the Husky Heritage Sports Museum, was unveiled in December of 2004 and will serve as a permanent tribute to all University of Connecticut varsity teams that climbed to the mountaintop and earned the right to be called National Champions. Currently, a total of 13 national champion squads, representing four different UConn sports, have team photos and national championship logos on display in the National Champions gallery. Included in the National Champions Gallery is the unbeaten 1948 men’s soccer team of Coach John Squires, the 1981 and 1985 UConn women’s field hockey teams of Coach Diane Wright, the 1981 men’s soccer team of Coach Joe Morrone, the 2000 men’s soccer team of Coach Ray Reid, the six national championship women’s basketball teams of Coach Geno Auriemma (1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009), and the 1999 and 2004 UConn men’s basketball teams of Coach Jim Calhoun. Upon entering the Husky Heritage Sports Museum, visitors are greeted by a full figure statue of Jonathan, the legendary mascot of all Husky athletic teams. Oversized banners proudly hang from the ceiling, displaying action images that feature 88 of Connecticut’s All-American stars representing 17 different intercollegiate sports. A tour of the various sections of the Husky Heritage Sports Museum is a walk down memory lane for long-time followers of Connecticut athletics. For fans just becoming acquainted with UConn’s tradition of excellence, the various themes and areas of the museum, when woven together, narrate a complete and compelling sport-by-sport story line. The growth and development of Connecticut athletics is traced via text, photographs and select artifacts from its humble beginnings in the 1890s to its present day ranking among the elite major college athletic programs in the nation. Included among the “must see” memorabilia in the Husky Heritage Sports Museum main concourse are the 1981 and 2000 NCAA

204

National Championship Men’s Soccer trophies; the 1981 and 1985 NCAA National Championship Women’s Field Hockey trophies; the 1950s era baseball gloves belonging to Connecticut’s three Dropo brothers-including Walt Dropo’s first baseman’s mitt when he was the American League Rookie of the Year with the Boston Red Sox in 1950; the 1935 Ramnapping Trophy, awarded annually to the winner of the ConnecticutRhode Island football game; a 1931 football signed by the entire Connecticut squad; team photos of Connecticut’s first men’s (1901) and women’s (1902) basketball squads; and the Waterford Crystal NCAA National Championship trophies won by UConn Women’s Basketball (1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and UConn Men’s Basketball (1999, 2004). The pinnacle achievement of UConn’s eight NCAA National Championships in both men’s and women’s basketball is preserved and promoted in a unique circular sanctuary–the Connecticut Basketball Rotunda, a gift of Herb and Marcia Dunn. Championship trophies and related artifacts that chronicle UConn’s men’s and women’s national titles are prominently featured in the rotunda, as are life-size cutouts of Husky All-American stars Ray Allen and Rebecca Lobo. Celebratory paintings of head coaches Jim Calhoun and Geno Auriemma are on display along with a one-of-a-kind watercolor team photo of the 25-member UConn Men’s Basketball All-Century team. Also within the Husky Heritage Sports Museum experience is a video wall featuring a 65-inch high definition television. Visitors can view numerous historical moments in UConn history as captured on a variety of highlight films and documentaries. Each display case of memorabilia and every historical photograph located within the walls of the J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum describe a portion of a truly remarkable story. That story of the teams, the coaches, and student-athletes who have been part of the rich history that constitutes the University of Connecticut athletic experience is now being told on a daily basis at UConn’s Husky Heritage Sports Museum. The J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum is open free of charge to the general public during regular business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) of the UConn Alumni Center. Since the Husky Heritage Sports Museum opened in January of 2002, several important artifacts have been donated from UConn loyalists to help expand the scope of the Connecticut Athletics storyline. The University of Connecticut Division of Athletics continues to seek additional memorabilia/artifacts to help expand the story of the UConn Huskies. Anyone wishing to donate specific Connecticut Athletics items to the J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum should contact: Tim Tolokan, Phone: (860) 486-9097, e-mail: tim. tolokan@uconn.edu.

Bowl Gam e s

he BIG EAST has always aligned itself with prestigious bowl games. The league is one of the original founders of the Bowl Championship Series and continues to be one of only six conferences that receives an automatic annual bid. The BIG EAST Conference champion earns the league’s automatic Bowl Championship Series bid. The BCS – which enters its 13th season in 2010-11 – is a five-game arrangement for postseason college football that is designed to match the two top-rated teams in a national championship game and to create exciting and competitive matchups between eight other highly regarded teams in four other BCS games. If the BIG EAST champion finishes No. 1 or No. 2 in the final BCS standings, then that team will earn a spot in the BCS National Championship Game. Otherwise, the league champion will compete in one of the four remaining BCS bowl games – the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Allstate Sugar Bowl or the Rose Bowl Game. The BIG EAST unveiled an enhanced collection of bowl partnerships beginning with the 2010 season that will match conference teams against opponents from the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big 12 Conference, the Southeastern Conference and

Conference USA. The Champs Sports Bowl will have the first selection of BIG EAST teams after the conference’s BCS representative is determined. During the four years of the deal, the Champs Sports Bowl has the option to choose Notre Dame once in place of a BIG EAST team. The Atlantic Coast Conference will provide the opposition for the Champs Sports Bowl, which is played in Orlando, Fla. The BIG EAST enters its ninth year as a partner with the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte, N.C. Played in Bank of America Stadium, the Meineke Car Care Bowl will select its BIG EAST participant after the Champs Sports Bowl with the ACC again providing the opponent. The BIG EAST and the Big 12 have partnered for a new bowl game beginning in 2010 as the New Era Pinstripe Bowl is played for the first time. The New Era Pinstripe Bowl will be played at Yankee Stadium in New York City, marking the first postseason game in the Big Apple since the Gotham Bowl in 1962. A BIG EAST representative will face either an opponent from the Southeastern Conference or the Conference USA champion as part of a fouryear arrangement with the PapaJohns.com Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., and the AutoZone Liberty Bowl

in Memphis. The BIG EAST will send a team to one of those bowl games in each year of the four years of the deal. The BIG EAST has been a partner with the PapaJohns.com Bowl since 2006 and has seen its teams go 4-0 in the four previous games. Louisville, Pittsburgh, Syracuse and West Virginia, meanwhile, have all played in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in past years. The 2010 season will mark the third year of the BIG EAST’s partnership with the Beef O’Brady’s Bowl St. Petersburg at Tropicana Field. The Beef O’Brady’s Bowl pairs the BIG EAST representative against an opponent from Conference USA. The enhanced lineup gives BIG EAST teams access to at least six postseason games each year.
