football program, four former Huskies played in the same NFL game. It took place Sunday, Dec. 3, as the New England

Patriots topped the Indianapolis Colts by a score of 31-24.Offensive lineman Donald Thomas, a native of West Haven,

Conn., suited up for the Patriots. He is in his fourth season in the NFL and his first season with the Patriots. Quarterback Dan Orlovsky, a Shelton, Conn., native, was the starting quarterback for the Colts and was 30 of 37 in the air for 353 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Donald Brown, who was UConn’s first-ever NFL first round draft pick in 2010, was the leading rusher for the Colts with 14 carries for 41 yards and a TD. Linebacker Scott Lutrus, a Brookfield, Conn., native, suited up for his first NFL game on an active roster, and made two tackles.

Academics Are The Priority Head coach Paul Pasqualoni

and his staff emphasizes academics from the time that the recruit-ing process begins until a student-athlete has earned his undergradu-ate 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 two of the past four seasons. UConn’s

2011 GSR score was eight points over the national average for FBS teams.In the latest NCAA Academic Performance Rate (APR) results,

UConn scored an impressive 963 over a four-year period, which was 11 points over the national average for FBS teams and 20 points over the aver-age for national public universities.

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. UConn won its second BIG EAST title in four years in 2011.

Bowl Games Connecticut has now played in a bowl game in five of the past

eight seasons, including four of the past five seasons, and has picked up victories in three of them. UConn made history in the 2010 season as it advanced to the Bowl Championship Series in its brief FBS history and played in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

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 experi-

ence. Husky football student-athletes perform numerous hours of com-munity 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 service at 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 athletics.

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.

UConn fans are also invited to sing the “UConn Husky” fight song at the end of each home game at Rentschler Field.

In February, all season tickets holders and UConn Club members are invited to a “Signing Night Reception”, as head coach Paul Pasqualoni and his staff gives a video presentation on the latest crop of National Letter of

The Connecticut Football

PHILOSOPHY

Intent signees. Several current Huskies attend that event and sign auto-graphs 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 pre-season.

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 stadiums 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 yards. In 2010, current Husky Nick Williams led the country kickoff returns and last season, cur-rent Husky Trevardo Wiliams was second in the country in sacks.

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 num-

bers that are unprecedented in school history. UConn had 11 players on active NFL rosters in 2009 – the most ever in school history – and ten in 2011. 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.

UConn has had 11 players drafted in the past four years with numer-ous free agent signees and Canadian Football League performers.

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 over three-quarters of the games played there and has posted victories over teams from the BIG EAST, SEC, ACC, Big Ten and Big XII at Rentschler Field. Husky fans have responded with a 96 percent capacity mark since the stadium opened.

UConn has posted undefeated records at Rentschler Field in two seasons – both of them in years that the Huskies won BIG EAST Championships, 2007 and 2010.

Staying In Touch With Alumni 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 six 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 foot-ball 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 in the highly-competitive BIG EAST Conference,

whose champion receives an automatic BCS berth at the end of the year. The BIG EAST will grow into the country’s only four-time zone conference over the next several seasons as teams ranging from national powerhouse Boise State to tradition-filled Navy joined the league.

UConn schedules a competitive slate of non-conference games each season against a variety of opponents. UConn traveled to Notre Dame in 2009 and posted a double-overtime win at Notre Dame Stadium. The Huskies opened the 2010 season at Michigan Stadium against the Wolverines before 113,090 fans – the largest crowd in the history of mod-ern college football at the time of the game.

The Wolverines return 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 North Carolina State (2012), Maryland (2014) and Virginia (2016).

Home of UConn Football Enters Its Tenth SeasonRENTSCHLER FIELD

The 2012 season will mark the tenth season of play at Rentschler Field – which remains one of the new-est and most modern college football stadiums in the BCS. UConn has posted a 43-15 record at Rentschler Field, including undefeated seasons in the Huskies’ BIG EAST Championship seasons of 2007 and 2011.

In nine seasons of play, the UConn football team has welcomed over two million fans to Rentschler Field.

“On Sept. 16, 2011, Shane Buzzell of Manchester, Conn., became the 2,000,000th fan to attend a game at Rentschler Field.”

Page 9: 2012 UConn Football Media Guide

Football Saturdays have become an important part of the social scene in Connecticut as 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 UConn football as the “Dog Pound” provides vocal inspiration for the Huskies.

UCONN

The University of Connecticut ranks UConn among the top 20 public universities in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. UConn is the only public university in New England with its own schools of law, medicine, dental medicine, and social work. The University has been elected to membership in Universitas 21, a preeminent international network of leading research-intensive universities in 15 countries.

The University grants seven undergraduate degrees and offers more than 100 majors. The University grants 17 graduate degrees in more than 85 fields of study, and provides graduate professional programs in business, den-tal medicine, law, medicine, pharmacy and social work.

Page 11: 2012 UConn Football Media Guide

More than 30,000 students enrolled, representing nearly every state in the nation and more than 100 countries. Average SAT scores for incoming freshmen at Storrs are up over 100 points since 1996 and are now 1216 (critical reading and math only). The 440 students UConn welcomed into its Honors Program in 2011 had an average SAT score of more than 1400 and minority students make up 28% of the 2011 incoming undergraduate class. Since 1995, 1,394 valedictorians and salutatorians have enrolled at all campuses. In fall 2011, 43 percent of freshmen entering the Storrs campus were ranked in the top 10 percent of their high school class and 82 percent were ranked 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 University’s infrastructure. UCONN 2000 has been the most ambitious publicly financed univer-sity building program in the country. Now in its 17th year, UCONN 2000 has invigorated the University’s living and learning environments, helped advance faculty research, and stimulated public and private investment. This investment 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. The multibillion dollar facelift has facilitated UConn’s ascent to national prominence among public research uni-versities.

The

Football ComplexBURTON FAMILYT

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

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

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

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

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

The Burton Family Football Complex is the University’s first project certified as meeting the Leadership in Energy

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

Training CenterMARK R. SHENKMAN

T hanks to alumnus Mark R. Shenkman, the University of Connecticut

joined 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.

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 pri-mary 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, Pre-Advising, Tutorial and Life Skills Programs.

The CPIA facilities for football student-athletes are housed in mod-ern 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 profi-ciency 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 MEETINGSAll freshmen and at risk students will meet with their CPIA coun-

selor at least once a week to review their course work, assignments, atten-dance and tutoring plan.

WEEKLY MEETING WITH COACH PASQUALONIUConn football coach Coach Pasqualoni meets with Ellen Tripp,

the CPIA Football Program Director, on a weekly basis. Together they review each student-athlete’s academic progress. This provides valuable information for Coach Pasqualoni and his staff regarding each student-athlete’s academic performance.

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

during their freshmen and junior year. The Freshmen Life Skills course is designed to provide the information, knowledge and confidence, which will enable the student-athlete to feel secure in a new environment and promote a successful transition from high school to college. The course helps develop a set of adaptive, coping, critical thinking and problem solving skills. It also acquaints the student-athlete with the resources that are available to balance the myriad of academic and athletic demands and adjust to college life.

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

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

a diagnosed learning disability, CPIA works with that particular student-athlete, 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 freshman 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 specifi-cally 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 con-tinues to be a leader in the BIG EAST Conference in terms of academic performance by its student-athletes.

UConn has been the top team in the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rates (GSR) in two of the past four years among BIG EAST 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. UConn’s overall GSR was the third-highest of the more than 50 state universities that participated in a bowl game.

In 2012, the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rates (APR) for the UConn football team was an impressive 963. That mark was 11 points above the national average for all FBS teams and 20 points higher than the national average for public institutions.

The University of Connecticut has a long tradition of players moving on to the National Football League and Husky players are in the league at an all-time high.

During the 2011 season, a total of 11 former Huskies appeared on NFL active rosters at one point during the season – which tied a UConn high also reached in 2009.

Husky history was made in April of 2009 as four Huskies were selected among the first 63 selections in the NFL Draft and an additional four were picked up as free agent signees. UConn is the only BIG EAST Conference school to have four picks in the first 63 of a single NFL Draft since the league was reformatted in the 2005 season.

UConn has had at least one player picked in seven of the past eight NFL Draft and 16 Huskies have been drafted since 2005. In addition to those draft picks, over 20 UConn players have signed NFL free agent contracts during that time period.

Deon Anderson was selected in the sixth-round of the 2007 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys.

Tyvon Branch was the first pick of the fourth round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders.

Dan Orlovsky was selected in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft and is currently a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

U niversity of Connecticut football players are assured the

maximum exposure to National Football League general managers, coaches and scouts through its annual Pro Testing Day, held prior to the NFL Draft at the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center.

The event annually attracts over 40 NFL representatives from nearly every NFL team. The event is also open to the media and was covered by the NFL Network in 2009.

In addition, UConn football players have been regularly invited to participate in the NFL Combine, held each year in Indianapolis. UConn sent a school-high six players to the NFL Combine in 2011 and 18 over the past five years.

The strength and conditioning program for the University of Connecticut football players is coordinated and directed by UConn’s Strength and Conditioning Coordinator Jerry Martin. The UConn strength and conditioning program benefits all 24 of Connecticut’s intercollegiate teams. Todd Devers is in his second year as an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach at UConn and has primary responsibility of working with the UConn football team. Devers comes to Connecticut after being a member of the Dallas Cowboys’ strength and conditioning staff since 2007.

UConn football players enjoy a state-of-the-art strength and conditioning facility at the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center – which opened in the summer of 2007 – in The Polo Family Strength Center. The two-level strength and condition-ing 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 mea-sures power output in order to enhance sport performance and to quicken the rehabilitation process.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

Page 27: 2012 UConn Football Media Guide

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.

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 compe-tition that reflects the Bowl Championship Series. When the winter semester begins, 12 team captains are assigned. A draft is then held with six to seven players on each team and there are six teams in each

Blue and White conference. Individuals gain points in the competi-tion for performance in the weight room and for other drills that are conducted during the team training sessions, 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 and their team 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 commu-nity service throughout the year by visiting children at local schools, hospitals and other activities. The UConn football team makes

several visits a year to the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford. UConn football student-athletes make frequent visits to schools to provide inspiration both in academics and athletics.

The UConn Division of Athletics and its community service program “Husky Reach” concluded its fourth year of its reading ini-tiative in the winter of 2011 with the Verplanck Elementary School in Manchester, Conn.

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

with Verplanck has served to motivate many of these boys and girls to read more books and appreciate the importance of learning.

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

The SBM Charitable Foundation 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 pre-dominately in Hartford, Windham and Tolland counties.

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

The SAAC had another successful year in 2011-12 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 Department of Sports Medicine in the University of Connecticut Division of Athletics works as an integrated multidis-ciplinary team whose purpose is to provide the optimal, safe envi-ronment for the football student-athletes to train and participate in their sport.

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

The team is spearheaded by Robert Howard, MA, ATC, the Head Athletic Trainer. Howard is assisted by Luke Ross, MA, ATC, and graduate assistants Michael Sundeen, ATC, and Jun Hashiwaki, ATC.

Physician coverage is led by Dr. Jeffrey Anderson, the Director of Sports Medicine, and Team Physician, Dr. Thomas Trojian. The Orthopedic Sports Medicine Specialists for the team include: Dr. Michael Joyce of the Orthopedic Sports Specialists in Glastonbury; Dr.

Robert Arciero, Dr. Thomas DeBerardino, and Dr. Augustus Mazzocca of the New England Musculoskeletal Institute at the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington.

The Department of Sports Medicine works closely with the Departments of Kinesiology and Nutritional Sciences on the University of Connecticut campus. This affords the student-athletes with the input of several nationally recognized exercise scientists. This cooperation also keeps the sports medicine staff at the cut-ting edge of developments in the fields of human performance and sports 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 medi-cal facilities at Rentschler Field and at The Burton Family Football Complex within the Marziali Family Training Room. The

Department of Sports Medicine has incorporated the SwimEX technology to develop a 2,300 square-foot hydrotherapy room for rehabilitation and condition-ing 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 med-ical 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.The Department of Sports Medicine at the University of

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

SPORTS MEDICINE

Page 31: 2012 UConn Football Media Guide

Nutrition is a key part of the plan for success of the UConn foot-ball program and is a priority under head coach Paul Pasqualoni. The saying goes that “you eat to compete” and a student-athlete’s daily diet receives exceptionally high care at Connecticut.

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

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

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

The sports nutrition team meets with freshman upon their arrival to campus in the summer. There is a discussion on the primary con-siderations for nutrition and performance and then a followup with individual athletes for nutrition workups and individual recommen-dations.

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

Evaluations of and recommendations for nutritional supplements are also provided.

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

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

As University of Connecticut football continues to progress as a NCAA FBS team, the roots of the program have not gone forgotten. In fact, UConn football alumni are more active and involved in the program than ever. Andy Baylock, a former UConn assistant foot-ball 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 re-connecting with the program should call Baylock at 860-486-2458.

For the past six seasons, former UConn head coaches and alumni have served as honorary coaches for the Blue-White Spring Game. Last May, a reunion was held of all former Husky players in the former home of UConn football – Memorial Stadium. The sta-dium was demolished this past spring to make way for the UConn Basketball Development Center.

In an effort to help members of UConn’s football team enhance their prospects for employment following college, the UConn foot-ball program sponsors a Career Information Fair 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 student-athletes through the networking process by putting them in contact with other professionals who may provide them with shadowing, internship and full-time employment opportunities.

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

UConn senior quarterback Johnny McEntee joined the team as a walk-on in 2008 and saw playing time in just two games from 2009-10. In 2011, the walk-on earned the starting QB spot for the Huskies for all 13 games.

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

Current junior punter Cole Wagner joined the team as a walk-on prior to the 2009 season. He became the Husky starter in 2010, earned a scholarship for 2011 and wound up an All-BIG EAST pick for the season.

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

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

On a national level, perhaps the finest exam-ple 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 remark-able story, Thomas was drafted by the Miami Dolphins following his senior year and is now a member of the New England Patriots.

Marcus Easley originally joined the Huskies as a walk-on in 2006 and then had a break-out senior season in 2009, where he made 48 receptions for eight touchdowns. He was then picked in the fourth round of the NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills.

Other walk-on success stories include: • Chris Pavasaris joined the team in 2003 and emerged as the

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

• Justin DeRubertis played in 22 games from 2005-06 after starting as a walk-on for the Huskies.

• David Sanchez graduated in 2005, earning a football scholar-ship after walking on as a wide receiver and played in 13 total career games.

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

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

• C.J. Hessel finished his UConn career in 2001, as joined the team as a walk-on and wound up being voted a team captain.

Junior punter Cole Wagner originally joined the Huskies as a freshman walk-on and now has been elevated to a scholarship

player and has earned All-BIG EAST honors.

SNY, the official television home of UConn football, provides a broad range of programming for UConn fans, including live telecasts of selected games, replays of entire games, plus a condensed replay of games. Coach Paul Pasqualoni’s weeky press conference is also televised by SNY.

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

located in the heart of the stadium parking lots. The games can also be heard worldwide on UConnHuskies.com and wtic.com.

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

The UConn football program is quickly becoming one of the most televised programs in the nation. Over the last three seasons, 64 of 72 UConn games have been televised with appearances on ABC, the ESPN Family of Networks and NBC.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NFL WEEK 11

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

all the boola-boola to the BCS and FoodNetwork.

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

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

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

history.Randy Edsall’s pregame interview with

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

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

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

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

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

The University of Connecticut football equipment room, under the leadership of Football Equipment Manager Chris Stasaitis, is designed to handle the everyday equipment needs of each UConn football student-athlete, along with the team’s coaches and support personnel, and is responsible for the transport of 6,000 pounds of equipment to games.

On game days, Stasaitis and his staff enjoy generous space in Rentschler Field’s modern equipment room, which was specially designed with high counters to allow for extra stor-age, convenient access to trunks and easier transitions in and out of the facility. On a daily basis, football equipment needs are handled from another new state-of-the art facility – The Burton Family Football Complex, located on the Storrs cam-

pus. UConn football enjoys the use of a spacious locker room in that facility with all equipment issues handled in a nearby and spacious equipment facility.

The UConn equipment room is stocked with prod-ucts from Nike, Riddell and Schutt. Nike is the official uniform, apparel and footwear supplier of UConn football.

Entering its 22nd season as a football-playing entity in 2012, the BIG EAST Conference is poised, among a sea of change in the college football world, to continue as one of the nation’s top conferences.

By any objective metric, the BIG EAST has been a success story on the football field. The conference has regularly put its teams in position for the Bowl Championship Series National Championship while amassing an impressive head-to-head record against its counterparts.

The BIG EAST football membership in 2012 will consist of the University of Cincinnati, the University of Connecticut, the University of Louisville, the University of Pittsburgh, Rutgers University, the University of South Florida, Syracuse University and Temple University.

The BIG EAST membership will have a new look in 2013 as the conference becomes the first truly national major college football league. That year, the league will welcome Boise State University, the University of Central Florida, the University of Houston, the University of Memphis, San Diego State University and Southern Methodist University to its football ranks. The U.S. Naval Academy will join the BIG EAST for the 2015 season.

Eight of the schools that will comprise the future membership of the BIG EAST finished in the top 25 of the final BCS standings at least once since 2006, with a combined 14 top-25 finishes by those schools in that six-year span.

That kind of success underscores the BIG EAST’s recent his-

tory as one of the deepest conferences in college football. Every BIG EAST team won at least five games in 2011 – the first time since 1905 that a major college football conference could make that claim. The BIG EAST is the only Division I conference in which each of its members played in at least one bowl game in the past two seasons. The BIG EAST will likewise be the only league in which each team has at least one bowl win in the last four years.

The BIG EAST has always been strategic in its growth, with a goal of showcasing high-quality teams in highly populated markets. The conference’s coming membership changes will further enhance that strategy by placing at least one BIG EAST school in all four time zones across the continental United States. All told, the BIG EAST football membership will be centered in 11 states, 12 of the top 50 Nielsen media markets and six of the top 25 media markets. The conference will have a television households reach of 24.3 mil-lion – by far the largest number in college football.

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. Eight times in the league’s 21 seasons, a BIG EAST squad has played for a claim to the national crown in a postseason game.

The 2012 season will mark the fifth year of a six-year arrange-ment with ESPN that gives the BIG EAST national 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 Week in December includes three BIG EAST games on either ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. At least four BIG EAST games are featured on ESPN’s Thursday-night package each year.

In addition, ESPN Regional Television will continue to pro-duce 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.

Extensive television exposure and the BIG EAST have been synonymous terms. The league established its own regional football television package in 1991 before it had played a game. The BIG EAST Television Network immediately was the largest regional col-lege football network in the country.

The 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 conferenc-es that receives an automatic annual bid in the existing agreement.

The BIG EAST Conference champion earns the league’s auto-matic BCS bid. The BCS – which enters its 15th season in 2012-13 – is a five-game arrangement for postseason college football that is designed to match the two top-rated teams in a national champion-ship 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, that team earns a spot in the BCS National Championship Game. Otherwise, the league champion will com-pete in one of the four remaining BCS bowl games – the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Discover Orange Bowl, Allstate Sugar Bowl or the Rose Bowl Game presented by VIZIO. Each bowl hosts two games once every four years - its traditional game plus the National Championship Game approximately one week later.

The BIG EAST unveiled an enhanced collection of bowl partnerships beginning in 2010 that matches conference teams against opponents from the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big 12 Conference, the Southeastern Conference and Conference USA.

The Champs Sports Bowl has the first selection of BIG EAST

teams after the conference’s BCS representative is determined. The Atlantic Coast Conference will provide the opposition for the Champs Sports Bowl, which is played in Orlando, Fla.

The BIG EAST enters its 11th year as a partner with the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, N.C. Played in Bank of America Stadium, the Belk 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 conferences partnered for a new bowl game in 2010 as the New Era Pinstripe Bowl was played for the first time at Yankee Stadium in New York City. In the event that the Big 12 is unable to send an eligible team to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, Notre Dame could step in as the BIG EAST team’s opponent.

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 BBVA Compass 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 deal. The BIG EAST has been a partner with the BBVA Compass Bowl since 2006 and has sent a number of teams to the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in recent years.

The 2012 season will mark the fifth year of the BIG EAST’s partnership with the Beef ‘O’Brady’s Bowl at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. 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.

2012 PREVIEW

The University of Connecticut football team begins the 2012 season with plenty of experience as there are six starters back on offense and eight on defense. At the same time, there are several newcomers and current underclassmen that will push those starters for playing time.

As Paul Pasqualoni begins his second year in charge of the Husky program, the goal of preseason camp will be to develop individual skills and also work on various overall schemes on both offense and defense. Connecticut fell just short of bowl eligibility last year as it went 5-7 and the hope is that the 2012 season will be a return to postseason play.

Pasqualoni’s coaching staff from last year remained intact with the exception of one position. Former quarterbacks coach Joe Moorhead was named the head coach at Fordham, his alma mater. Joining the Husky staff at that same position is Shane Day, who spent the past two years as the QB coach with the Chicago Bears.

OFFENSEThe biggest losses for Connecticut on offense come on the offen-

sive line and the wide receiver spot. UConn loses center Moe Petrus, who started 51 games over his career and was a two-time All-BIG EAST pick, and Mike Ryan at tackle, a three-year starter who also earned All-BIG EAST honors twice.

Although there is experience returning on the offensive line, the Huskies do lose their top two receivers from last year in Kashif Moore and Isiah Moore.

BACKFIELDThe competition at quarterback will be wide open between five

players. Redshirt senior Johnny McEntee started all 12 games last season while redshirt sophomore Scott McCummings also saw con-siderable playing time, especially in Wildcat situations. McEntee’s

335 passing attempts in 2011 was eighth in school single-season history while his 172 completions was tenth and his 2,110 net yards was 14th.

Sophomore Michael Nebrich returns looking for more playing time in 2012. There are two newcomers in 2012 – redshirt sopho-more Chandler Whitmer, a junior college transfer who also played a year at Illinois, and freshman Casey Cochran, a mid-year enrollee, who was the Connecticut Player-of-the-Year for the past two seasons. Both Whitmer and Cochran were January 2012 enrollees and took part in spring practice.

Tailback has become a staple of the UConn offense over the years and redshirt sophomore Lyle McCombs leads the way this spring after earning Freshmen All-America honors in 2011 by rushing 1,151 yards. McCombs was named to the preseason watch list for

the Maxwell Award, given to the top college football player in the country.

McCombs 275 carries was fourth in UConn single-season history and his yardage was ninth.

Redshirt junior Martin Hyppolite also brings experience here while redshirt freshman and Connecticut product Max DeLorenzo looks to break into the lineup and freshman Joseph Williams, another midyear enrollee, will also be in the hunt for action.

Last year’s starting fullback Mark Hinkley has departed and the Huskies have several FBs on the roster looking for playing time. Redshirt sophomore Reuben Frank played in all 12 games last year while redshirt sophomore Michael Osiecki has switched from linebacker to fullback.

WIDE RECEIVERS/TIGHT ENDSA number of performers return at wide receiver. Senior Nick

Williams is the veteran of the group and has also enjoyed a terrific career as a kickoff and punt returner. Senior Mike Smith returns after missing last season, but has played in 36 career games – the most of any returning WR. Redshirt sophomore Geremy Davis played in all 12 games last year and made six catches while classmate Tebucky Jones played in eight games with five catches.

Redshirt sophomore Shakim Phillips is a transfer from Boston College, who sat out last season at UConn, and will crack the rota-tion this year. Sophomore Deshon Foxx, who played seven games at TB last year, was moved over to WR in the spring and will fight for playing time as will sophomore Kamal Abrams, who played in eight games in 2011.

Passing to the tight end was emphasized more at Connecticut under Pasqualoni in his first year than it had been in the past.

Redshirt seniors Ryan Griffin and John Delahunt both return this season to give the Huskies outstanding experience at the posi-tion. Griffin is the team’s leading returner from last season with 33 receptions and was named to the preseason watch list for the John Mackey Award given to the top tight end in the country.

Griffin is fifth in school history in receptions by a tight end with 87 and is sixth in yardage with 1,016.

Delahunt had six receptions and used more in the blocking scheme. Redshirt freshman Sean McQuillan will also battle for playing time.

OFFENSIVE LINEWith the departure of Petrus, redshirt sophomore Alex Mateas, a

Penn State transfer, will battle for the starting spot along with 2012 midyear enrollee Kyle Bockeloh.

The Huskies return two veterans at guard in redshirt senior Adam Masters on the right side and redshirt junior Steve Greene on the left. Masters started all 13 games at right guard last year while Greene started at left guard for the final eight games of the year. Masters has started 23 games over the last two seasons.

Also looking for time at guard are redshirt junior Tyler Bullock and redshirt sophomore Gus Cruz.

Redshirt junior Kevin Friend leads the tackles after starting nine games last year at right tackle. He will be backed up by redshirt junior Stephen Brown.

There is a whole on the left side with the departure of Ryan. Redshirt senior Jimmy Bennett will look to stay healthy and com-pete for that spot after making two starts last year. Also in the mix are redshirt freshmen Dalton Gifford and Paul Nwokeji.

2012 PREVIEW

DEFENSEDEFENSIVE LINE

On defense, the Huskies have lost three key starters in defensive tackles Twyon Martin and Kendall Reyes, who made an amazing 85 career starts between the two of them and were keys in UConn making three bowl appearances in the four years they played. Also lost is safety Jerome Junior, who made nine starts in 2011.

The defense ends return considerable experience with senior Jesse Joseph, who has started 34 games over his career and has 106 career tackles. Senior Trevardo Williams started most games at the other defensive end spot last year and exploded towards the end of the season to finish second in the country in sacks per game. Williams has been named to the preseason watch list for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and Bednarik Award – both given to the top defensive player in the country.

Williams is tied for sixth in UConn career history with 19 sacks.

Also at defensive end are redshirt senior Ted Jennings, red-shirt sophomore Jonathan Louis and redshirt freshmen Kenton Adeyemi.

With the loss of Reyes and Martin, there is ample playing time available for those returning at defensive tackle. Redshirt junior Shamar Stephen has the most experience with 24 career games while redshirt senior Ryan Wirth has been in 18 and both will look to secure starting spots. Redshirt junior Tim Willman, redshirt sophomore Angelo Pruitt and redshirt sophomore B.J. McBryde are also in the mix at DT.

LINEBACKERSUConn has the bulk of the linebackers back from 2011 and all

three starters from last year. The leader is redshirt senior Sio Moore,

who has started 21 career games and has 202 career tackles and 28.5 for a loss. Redshirt sophomore Yawin Smallwood started each game to begin his college career and had 94 tackles while redshirt senior Jory Johnson also started each game last year and had 97 tackles and has 132 for his career.

Also at linebacker is senior Ryan Donohue, a transfer from Maryland, redshirt sophomore Brandon Steg, and redshirt freshmen Jefferson Ashiru and Marquise Vann.

SECONDARYRedshirt senior Dwayne Gratz started all 12 games last season to

lead the UConn cornerbacks as does classmate Blidi Wreh-Wilson. Wreh-Wilson was limited to just five starts last year due to injury but has played in 30 games over the past three years with 27 starts and has 134 career tackles. Wilson is eighth in UConn career history with 171 interception return yards.

Bringing additional experience to the cornerbacks is junior Taylor Mack, who has played in 21 games over the past two seasons. Redshirt freshmen Tyree Clark and David Stevenson will also look to compete here.

The departure of Jerome Junior at safety leaves a hole as he started nine games last year. Redshirt sophomore Byron Jones helped pick up the slack in Wilson’s absence as he started seven games at cornerback and made 51 tackles. This year he will make the move to safety and secure a starting role again.

Redshirt sophomore Ty-Meer Brown had six starts last year as he made 45 tackles and will compete for the other starting safety spot. Junior Gilbert Stlouis has played in seven career games while redshirt freshmen Andrew Adams and Wilbert Lee will all look to get on the field.

Punter Cole Wagner

Kicker Chad Christen

SPECIAL TEAMSThe graduation of Dave Teggart, the school’s all-time leader in

points, extra points and field goals, leaves a huge gap to fill. Redshirt junior Chad Christen, who has handled kickoffs the past two years, will be the leader for that job. True freshman Bobby Puyol will also get a look.

The Huskies are solid at punter with redshirt junior Cole Wagner, a Second Team All-BIG EAST pick. Wagner enters the 2012 season as the UConn career leader in punting average at 41.2 yards and is ninth in number of punts with 159 and seventh in yard-age at 6,548. Wagner owns two of the top four single-season punt-ing averages in school history. Christen will be the backup there.

Junior Adam Mueller returns as the deep snapper and will be backed up by redshirt freshman Dominick Manco.

There is experience in the return areas as senior Nick Williams will look to once again handle both kickoff and punt returns. Williams is second in career kickoff return yardage at UConn with 1,556 and third in number of KO returns with 55. He is also just one of three Huskies to ever have two career KO returns for a TD.

Also on kickoff returns will be junior Taylor Mack and redshirt freshman Wilbert Lee. Mack and sophomore Deshon Foxx will be involved in the punt return game.

HEAD COACH PAUL PASQUALONI

84 UConnHuskies.com

P aul Pasqualoni became the 28th head football coach

at the University of Connecticut on January 14, 2011. A native of Cheshire, Conn., Pasqualoni has extensive coaching experience on the high school, college and profes-sional level and has served as a collegiate head coach for 20 seasons.

In his first season in charge of the Connecticut pro-gram in 2011, a total of nine Husky players were named All-BIG EAST Conference. Three Husky seniors took part in the NFL Combine and four played in postseason all-star games. Tailback Lyle McCombs was named a Freshman All-American by the Football Writers Association of America.

Pasqualoni is the BIG EAST career leader in both overall coaching wins (112) and conference coaching wins (65). He broke the overall coaching wins record last year at Connecticut passing Virginia Tech’s Frank Beamer (108) and leads Beamer by eight wins in conference play.

Before taking the Connecticut position, Pasqualoni had been coaching in the National Football League as he was a member of the Dallas Cowboys staff (2005-07 and 2010) and the Miami Dolphins (2008-09).

“ I am so excited for Coach P. He is an excellent coach and can coach at any level but I think he is a perfect fit as a head

coach at the college level. Coach P. knows how to teach, he knows how to recruit, he knows how to run a college program.

I always refer fondly to my days at Syracuse and one of the main reasons is that I loved playing football for Coach P. I grew

in many ways while at college - as a person, as a student and as an athlete - and I owe a lot of that to Coach P..sd

afs ” Donovan McNabb, Washington Redskins Quarterback and 1998 Syracuse graduate

HEAD COACH PAUL PASQUALONIPasqualoni worked with the tight ends (2005) and line-

backers (2006-07) in Dallas. The Cowboys won the NFC East in 2007 and were a Wild Card playoff team in 2006. In 2007, the Cowboys’ defense limited opponents to 4.9 yards per play and were third in sacks. He rejoined the Cowboys staff in 2010 and became the defensive coordinator.

He served as defensive coordinator with the Dolphins and his defense allowed just 19.8 points per game in 2008 as the Dolphins won the AFC East Championship. His 2009 defense led the NFL in sacks per pass attempt.

Pasqualoni served as the head coach of Syracuse from 1991-2004 and led the Orange to nine bowl games and was the head coach at Western Connecticut from 1982-86 and led them to an NCAA Division II postseason appearance.

Pasqualoni concluded his 14-year tenure as Syracuse’s second-winningest coach with 107 victories. He guided his teams to four BIG EAST conference titles, including a share of one in 2004 - his final year at the school -- and had a 6-3 postseason record. Among those appearances, he led the Orange to two Fiesta Bowl appearances (1992 season and ‘97 season) and a trip to the Orange Bowl (1998 season), in the first year of the Bowl Championship Series. Syracuse also played in the 2004 Champs Sports Bowl, 2001 Insight.com Bowl, 1999 Music City Bowl, the 1996 Liberty Bowl, the 1996 Gator Bowl (1995 season) and the 1992 Hall of Fame Bowl (1991 season) during Pasqualoni’s tenure. His Orange teams won 10 games in three different seasons - 1991, 1992 and 2001.

He joined the Syracuse staff in 1987 and was an assis-tant coach there for four seasons before being named the head coach prior to the 1991 season, taking over for the legendary Dick MacPherson.

Pasqualoni developed a solid contingent of professional players at Syracuse, including a string of 17 selections in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft as seven were first-round picks. The school produced at least two NFL draft selections in 11 of Pasqualoni’s 14 years as head coach. During his tenure at Syracuse as an assistant and head coach,

the Orange were recognized with the AFCA Academic Achievement Honorable Mention Award for having a graduation rate better than 70 percent a total of 14 times. They were honored during 10 of the 14 years Pasqualoni was head coach. In 1999, Syracuse won the American Football Coaches Association Academic Achievement Award for posting a 100 per-cent graduation rate for the class that enrolled in 1994.

Pasqualoni won the ECAC/Vince Lombardi Foundation Coach of the Year award in 1996 following his second-straight 9-3 season. He was named the 1992 and 1995 ECAC Coach of the Year for Division I-A.

Pasqualoni served in leadership roles with the American Football Coaches Association Board of Trustees. He was appointed to the Board of Trustees in 1998 and served a three-year stint as a member of that group before becoming third-vice president for 2002. He was first vice president in 2004.

The Nassau Coaches Association honored Pasqualoni with the 2003 Ralph Luisi “Don’t Quit” Memorial Award, given to an outstanding educa-tor and coach who loves football and teaching.

After finishing his undergraduate degree at Penn State, he spent four seasons as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Cheshire High School (1972-75).

“The University of Connecticut has hired a quality man of great integrity--and a wonderful football coach. He is a leader, a great communicator, a dedicated professional and a winner. We are grateful to Paul for his contributions to the Dallas Cowboys

and we wish him the very best with this new challenge.sd afs ”

On special teams, UConn was ranked 17th in the country in kickoff returns. Punter Cole Wagner was named Second Team All-BIG EAST Conference.

White spent the 2010 season as the defensive backs coach and special team co-coordinator at Western Kentucky. White’s punt return team at WKU ranked third in the Sun Belt Conference at 8.13 yards per return. He was part of a defense that led the Sun Belt in total defense for confer-ence games.

Prior to his one year at WKU, White coached the defensive backs and was the assistant special teams coach at Stanford from 2007-09. During Whites’s tenure at Stanford, the Cardinal was ranked as high as 14th in the nation in 2009 and posted an 8-4 regular season record.

WMU ranked sixth in the country in kickoff return defense in 2006 at 16.00 yards per return and was tenth in the country in punt returns at 13.56.

While at Western Michigan, he coached two defensive backs that were selected in the 2009 NFL Draft -- Louis Delmas (2nd round, 33rd overall pick by Detroit Lions) and E.J. Biggers (7th round, Tampa Bay Buccaneers). White was part of a Broncos staff that led the 2006 team to an 8-5 record and an appearance in the 2007 International Bowl. He coached a defense

Matt Cersosimo enters his seventh year as wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator at UConn. During his tenure as recruiting coordina-tor, UConn has won a pair of BIG EAST Conference Championships and participated in four bowl games – including the 2011 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

Cersosimo coached Kashif Moore, who concluded his career in 2011 as the eighth-leading receiver in school history in receptions and ninth in yards.

In 2010, the UConn wide receivers accounted for 113 catches with 1369 yards and seven touchdowns while not having a single senior within the group. The group was highlighted by a pair of juniors -- Mike Smith and Moore.

Cersosimo’s wide receivers developed in the 2009 season, highlighted by senior Marcus Easley, who was the fourth round pick of the Buffalo Bills. Easley caught 48 passes for 893 yards and eight touchdown passes. He eclipsed the 100-yard receiving mark in every BIG EAST game. Easley participated in the Texas vs. Nation All-Star game and the 2010 NFL Combine.

Cersosimo spent the 2004 and 2005 seasons as an assistant coach at Harvard, helping the Crimson to a 10-0 record, 7-0 in Ivy League action in 2004 and a record of 17-3 over the combined 2004-05 seasons. 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 with junior running back Clifton Dawson as a unanimous All-Ivy pick after the season.

Before starting his Husky career as a graduate assistant in 2002-2003, Cersosimo was a Springfield College coach for wide receivers and special teams in 2001 and 2002.

As a two-year starter at defensive back on the Springfield College football team, Cersosimo received 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.

Cersosimo boasts a deep coaching pedigree as his family is well estab-lished 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.

A veteran of northeastern football coaching, Mike Foley enters his sev-enth season on the UConn staff and will now work with the tight ends. He worked with the offensive line for his first six years with the Huskies. Prior to UConn, Foley completed 21 seasons of involvement with the football team at his alma mater, Colgate University. He had served as the Raiders’ offensive coordinator and offensive line coach since 1997.

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

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

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

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

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

In 1986, he served as interim head coach during the absence of head coach Fred Dunlap, who was recovering from bypass surgery. Following

Dunlap’s retire-ment in 1987, Foley was named head coach of the Raiders, a title he held through 1992, compiling a 21-34 record. He returned to the Hamilton, N.Y. campus in 1997 as offensive coordina-tor and line coach after three years on the Harvard staff. While with the Crimson, he served as offensive coordinator during his entire stay.

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

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

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Freshman running back Lyle McCombs(Staten Island, N.Y) rushed for 141 yards and four touchdowns in his first collegiate game as the University of Connecticut football team won their 2011 season opener, 35-3, over Fordham before a crowd of 34,562 at Rentschler Field. The game marked the Connecticut debut for head coach Paul Pasqualoni, who tied Frank Beamer of Virginia Tech for the most overall wins by a BIG EAST coach. They both have 108 victories. Pasqualoni was the first Connecticut football coach to win his debut since 1923. The Huskies initial drive ended in a punt after two first downs, but on their second possession began to force their will on their FCS opponent after forcing a Fordham three-and-out. A six-play, 58-yard drive was capped by a McCombs two-yard run. The key play on the drive was a 24-yard pass from Johnny McEntee (Fullerton, Calif.) to Isiah Moore(Cambridge, Mass.). The Huskies started the redshirt junior McEntee, but Pasqualoni played three signal callers in the contest. Redshirt freshman Scott McCummings (Natick, Mass.) and true freshman Michael Nebrich(Burke, Va.) both played well in their Connecticut unveilings. Early in the second quarter, the Huskies took over from their own 20 and McCombs had his first big play from scrimmage, rambling 60 yards before being caught at the Ram two-yard line. Two plays later, McCombs scored from the one and Connecticut had a 14-0 lead. The Connecticut defense, which was spectacular all day, got its first turn-over of the season when redshirt freshman safety Byron Jones (New Britain, Conn.) picked off a Peter Maetzold pass. On the next play from scrimmage, McCummings hit redshirt junior tight end Ryan Griffin(Londonderry, N.H.) with a beautiful 55-yard catch-and-run off of play action to put the Huskies ahead by three scores. The Huskies kept that 21-0 lead until midway through the third quarter when McCombs capped drives with scoring runs of five- and one-yard. McCombs’ four touchdowns was the first time a Connecticut footballer achieved that feat since Jordan Todman turned the trick against Cincinnati in 2009. McEntee completed eight-of-12 passes for 113 yards, while Nebrich was three-of-eight, for 60 yards and one interception. The McCummings scoring pass to Griffin was his only attempt of the game. Griffin set a career-standard with his 97 receiving yards. The Connecticut defense held the Rams to just 169 total yards of offense and was led by redshirt junior linebacker Jory Johnson(Mobile, Ala.), who had 11 tackles. Redshirt junior defensive end Teddy Jennings (Dayton, Ohio) had 2.5 tackles for loss.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Vanderbilt held the University of Connecticut offense to 193 yards, 118 of rushing by redshirt freshman Lyle McCombs(Staten Island, N.Y.), as the Commodores posted a 24-21 win over the Huskies before a crowd of 32,119 at Vanderbilt Stadium on Saturday night. McCombs rushed for his 118 yards on 27 carries and has now rushed for at least 100 yards in his first two collegiate games. Husky junior quarterback Johnny McEntee(Fullerton, Calif.) was 10 of 27 in the air for 99 yards, but had three interceptions. Larry Smith was 12 of 24 in the air for 140 yards while Jerron Seymour had eight carries for 70 yards. On Vanderbilt’s first drive of the fourth quarter, redshirt freshman Yawin Smallwood (Worcester, Mass.) returned a fumble 64 yards with 10:34 left to go, giving UConn its first lead of the game, as the Huskies took a 21-14 lead. On the fumble return, Vandy had the ball at the UConn 36 and Sio Moore’s(Apex, N.C.) hit of Smith jarred the ball loose and Smallwood was home free. After the UConn defense forced Vanderbilt to punt on their ensuing drive, McEntee threw his third interception of the night, as Robby Barbieri returned the interception 50 yards to tie the game at 21-21. Vanderbilt was able to take the lead with 2:56 left, as Carey Spear con-verted a 31-yard field goal for the 24-21 Vandy advantage. UConn trailed 14-3 at halftime, but scored the only ten points of the third quarter to make it 14-13 entering the final stanza. On Vanderbilt’s third play from scrimmage of the second half, junior Jory Johnson (Mobile, Ala.) picked off a Smith pass to give UConn the ball at the Vandy 17. UConn could only move the ball six yards to set up a 28-yard field goal by senior kicker Dave Teggart(Northborough, Mass.). The Huskies then cut the lead to a point, 14-13, as redshirt freshman Byron Jones(New Britain, Conn.) blocked a punt in the endzone. It was UConn’s first blocked punt since 2008 and the first for a TD since 2002. Connecticut moved the ball efficiently on the first possession of the game as it marched the ball to the Commodore 12-yard line with a first down. The Huskies could only manage four more yards, which set up a 25-yard field goal by Teggart. The field goal gave Teggart the UConn career scoring record with 262 points, which he extended later in the game. Vanderbilt went four and out on its first possession, but McEntee threw a first down interception picked off by Kenny Ladler that put the ball at the UConn 42. Vanderbilt came right back on the next play with a 42-yard TD pass from Smith to Chris Boyd to give the Commodores a 7-3 lead. Vandy took a 14-3 lead on a 40-yard rush by Seymour on a second and ten play that capped a six-play 80 yard drive. The Commodores had 134 yards of total offense in the first quarter and 82 of them came on scoring plays. The Commodores maintained the lead 14-3 at halftime after a second quarter that did not feature any scoring as UConn only had 35 yards of total offense with VU having 28.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – The University of Connecticut football team out-gained Iowa State 343-341 for the game, but a fourth quarter score for the Cyclones spelled a 24-20 loss for the Huskies in front of 37,195 at Rentschler Field. Connecticut redshirt senior wide receiver Isiah Moore recorded career-highs in receptions and yards with eight catches and 143 yards. The winning score for Iowa State came with 9:08 left in the game when Darius Reynolds leaped over a pair of UConn defenders and raced across the goal line for a 20-yard touchdown reception from junior quarterback Steele Jantz. Jantz threw three interceptions in the first quarter but finished with 200 yards. The Huskies used a trio of quarterbacks with redshirt junior Johnny McEntee taking the majority of snaps as he went 13-30 for a season-high 188 yards. Redshirt freshman Lyle McCombs led the UConn running game with 46 yards on 18 rushes. Sophomore Shontrelle Johnson and redshirt sophomore James White split the carries for ISU with 14 apiece. Johnson went for 65 yards, while White ran for 44. Connecticut opened the game with a 10-play, 57-yard drive that result-ed in a touchdown for redshirt freshman quarterback Scott McCummings. McCummings, in the game for just his second play, was initially ruled down at the one-yard line, but after an official review it was determined that the ball crossed the goal line prior to his knee hitting the ground. For the game, McCummings rushed for 38 yards on 10 carries. The two teams would trade turnovers several times in the remaining minutes of the first quarter as redshirt junior Dwayne Gratz picked off Jantz on the Cyclone’s first play from scrimmage. Gratz returned the ball 19 yards to the ISU 41-yard line, but UConn gave the ball back on the very next play as McEntee was intercepted by Steve Ruempolhamer. Jantz was intercepted again, with less than three minutes to play in the first, by redshirt freshman Byron Jones, which set up a 52-yard field goal by redshirt senior kicker Dave Teggart to put the Huskies up 10-0. For Teggart, it tied his career long. Before the end of the first, UConn would force a third turnover as Jory Johnson grabbed a ball off a pass broken up by linebacker Sio Moore. Despite outgaining Iowa State 101-4 in the first, Connecticut went into half-time up only 10-7 as the Cyclones held a 114-13 advantage in the second quarter. ISU got on the board when James White broke loose for a 26-yard touchdown run to cut the Huskies lead to three. The Cyclones went on top early in the third quarter when White flipped the ball to junior WR Josh Lenz on a reverse, who threw a deep ball for Reynolds to take into the end zone. UConn came back with a 50-yard field goal from Teggart, the second time in his career he converted two field goals of 50 yard. With 6:44 left to play in the quarter, Iowa State added to its lead with a 36-yard field goal by senior kicker Zach Guyer, to go up 17-13. Connecticut regained the lead early in the fourth quarter as McCummings hooked up with redshirt senior wide receiver Kashif Moore for a 39-yard touch-down to take a 20-17 lead. McCummings has completed two passes on the season, both for touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, junior linebacker Jake Knott made 11 tackles and forced one fumble for the Cylcones, while Johnson added 10 tackles to go with his interception for the Huskies.

AMHERST, N.Y. – The University of Connecticut football team posted a 17-3 win against the University at Buffalo before a crowd of 18,215 at UB Stadium. UConn junior quarterback Johnny McEntee (Servite, Calif.) took the majority of snaps and was 12 of 21 in the air for 213 yards and two touchdowns, the first two of his career. Junior wide receiver Nick Williams (East Windsor, N.J.) sparked the Husky offense with a pair of big plays, the first of which was a 64-yard catch and run that set up the first Connecticut touchdown of the game. Williams’ second catch was another catch and run, going for 49 yards and a score with 4:52 left in the game to seal the win. Redshirt freshman quarterback Scott McCummings (Natick, Mass) ran the ball 5 times for 7 yards while freshman QB Michael Nebrich (Burke, Va.) attempted just one pass. Husky redshirt freshman Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) had 30 carries for 61 yards. UConn redshirt senior Isiah Moore (Cambridge, Mass.) made a team-best four receptions for 49 yards. Branden Oliver led Buffalo in rushing with 23 yards on 85 carries while quarterback Chazz Anderson was 18 of 39 in the air for 192 yards and ran for 30 yards on seven rushes. For the second time this season, the Huskies held their opponent to just three points, the first of which came in a season-opening 35-3 win over Fordham. Despite just the one score, the Bulls moved the ball for 314 yards, including 122 on the ground, opposed to UConn’s 292 yards of total offense. The Huskies led at halftime 10-3 and the third quarter was scoreless. UCconn redshirt freshman linebacker Yawin Smallwood (Worcester, Mass.) made the biggest play of the quarter as he made an endzone interception on a third and goal play by the Bulls at the UConn five. Buffalo had moved the ball 80 yards on 11 plays on that drive. UConn took that 10-3 halftime lead when it scored the first touchdown of the game with 15 seconds left to go. The drive began on the UConn 17 as McEntee threw a 15-yard pass to McCombs to move the ball to the Husky 32. McEntee then hooked up on the longest Husky pass play of the year on a 64-yard connection to Nick Williams to put the ball at the Bull 4. McEntee then threw a four-yard TD pass to redshirt junior fullback Mark Hinkley (Kanehoe, Hawaii) for the UConn lead. It was the first TD pass in McEntee’s career and the first TD reception of Hinkley’s. After a scoreless first quarter, the two teams opened scoring by trading field goals in the second quarter. Peter Fardon gave the Bulls a 3-0 lead on a 28-yard field goal with 5:28 left in the quarter to cap a 13 play-57 yard drive. Fadron had missed a 30-yarder at the beginning of the second quarter. UConn broke into the scoring with a 47-yard field goal by senior Dave Teggart (Northborough, Mass.) that ended an eight-play 51-yard drive. Teggart had a 49-yard FG attempt blocked in the first quarter.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Johnny McEntee threw for 300 yards and four touchdowns for the University of Connecticut football team as the Huskies lost to Western Michigan by a 38-31 score on Saturday before a crowd of 36,648 at Rentschler Field. Kashif Moore had two touchdown catches and 112 yards receiving and Lyle McCombs added 136 yards rushing and a 26-yard touchdown reception for the Huskies. Alex Carder threw for a career-high 479 yards and five touchdowns to lead Western Michigan. Two of those scores were caught by Jordan White, who had his fourth 100-yard receiving game of the season, catching 12 balls for 173 yards. He was one of three Bronco receivers to go over the century mark. Robert Arnheim had 113 yards and Chleb Ravenell added 123 and two fourth-quarter touchdowns, including a 41-yard catch that turned out to be the game winner. After making a 26-yard catch at the Western Michigan 13-yard line with 45 seconds left, UConn tight end Ryan Griffin fumbled. UConn scored the first of the fourth quarter’s five touchdowns, when McEntee found McCombs open behind the Broncos’ blitzing linebackers for a 26-yard score to give UConn its only lead at 24-17. But Carder led the Broncos right back on a 9-play 80-yard drive, finding White in the end zone for a 6-yard touchdown that tied the game. The Broncos held UConn to a three-and-out, and then went 62-yards to take the lead again on a 14-yard pass from Carder to Ravenell. UConn tied it again when McEntee scrambled and found Nick Williams on a fourth down from 26 yards out with just over 2 minutes left. Two plays after UConn’s kickoff went out of bounds, Ravenell raced down the right sideline and reached over cornerback Gary Wilburn to bring in a 41-yard touchdown with 1:35 left. Arnheim beat Wilburn down the right sideline and made a one-handed 32-yard catch to set up the Broncos second touchdown, an 11-yard pass from Carder to tight end Dallas Walker. The Broncos went 66 yards on their first drive of the second quarter and scored when White grabbed a slant pass and dragged several UConn defend-ers into the end zone for a 25-yard catch and run. The Huskies didn’t cross midfield until McCombs took a handoff at his own 7-yard line with just over 6 minutes left in the half, bounced off a tackle and ran 65 yards before tripping on the grass. That set up a 9-yard touch-down pass from McEntee to Moore. Moore’s second touchdown, a 3-yard reception on a play-action fake, was set up by his 47-yard catch and run. The 5-play 72-yard drive brought UConn to within 17-14 midway through the third quarter.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith was 27 of 45 in the air for 450 yards and the Mountaineers scored 23 unan-swered points in the final 7:54 of the third quarter to top the University of Connecticut football team by a 43-16 score. The game was played before a crowd of 56,179 at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium as Connecticut is now 2-4 on the season and 0-1 in the BIG EAST while the No. 16 Mountaineers are 5-1 and 1-0. Stedman Bailey had seven receptions for 178 yards and two scores and Dustin Garrison had 80 rushing yards to help lead the Mountaineer effort. Redshirt senior Johnny McEntee (Servite, Calif.) was 21 of 37 in the air for the Huskies with 193 yards. The Huskies were led in rushing by redshirt freshman Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) with 20 carries for 73 yards. WVU led 10-9 at halftime, but the game took a dramatic momentum change midway in the third quarter as Connecticut had driven to the Mountaineer 13-yard line. On a first down play, McEntee rushed the ball to the 10, but then fumbled the ball and WVU’s Jewone Snow recovered and returned the ball all the way to the UConn 12 with 7:54 left in the quarter. West Virginia scored two plays later on a 12-yard TD pass from Austin to Smith that made it 17-9 Mountaineers. WVU took control of the game, when after a Husky three-and-out, the Mountaineers got the ball at their own 16. Smith threw an 84-yard TD pass to Stedman Bailey to give WVU 24-9 lead. The Mountaineers added two more points on a safety with 2:31 left in the third quarter as McEntee was sacked in the endzone to make it 26-9 and Smith had a 22-yard TD pass to Brad Sparks with nine seconds left in the quarter to make it 33-9. Tyler Bitancutt kicked a 33-yard field goal for West Virginia with 10:52 left to make it 36-9. The Mountaineers went on to score 33 unanswered points when Smith added a second touchdown pass to Bailey, on a 27-yard toss to the end zone with 8:51 remaining in the game. After a quick three-and-out by UConn, WVU made a change at quar-terback. Freshman Paul Millard entered the game and was picked off on his first play by Connecticut red-shirt freshman Ty-Meer Brown. Brown nearly came close to stepping out of bounds, but stayed in to return the ball 48 yards to the end zone for the only Husky touchdown of the afternoon. West Virginia led at halftime by a 10-9 count as UConn senior kicker Dave Teggart (Northborough, Mass.) accounted for all of the Huskies’ nine points on three field goals.

EAST HARTFORD – University of Connecticut redshirt freshman Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) ran for 130 yards and senior kicker Dave Teggart (Northborough, Mass.) kicked three field goals as the Huskies beat USF 16-10 on Saturday without scoring an offensive touchdown. The Homecoming contest was played before a crowd of 37,162 at Rentschler Field. Redshirt freshman cornerback Byron Jones (New Britain, Conn.) ran a third-quarter fumble back 10 yards for what turned out to be the winning score after senior defensive tackle Twyon Martin (Parkland, Fla.) stripped USF running back Darrel Scott deep in UConn territory. B.J. Daniels threw for 164 yards and ran for 64 and a touchdown. But the USF quarterback also threw two interceptions and had a key fumble. The Bulls failed to convert on a fourth down with just under 2 1/2 minutes left and the Huskies ran out the clock. A 32-yard run from Daniels had given the Bulls the ball in UConn territory. But a fourth-down pass to Sterling Griffin was stopped four yards short of the first-down marker. Teggart, who beat South Florida with last-minute field goals in their two previ-ous meetings, hit from 18, 46, and 28 yards. Connecticut won despite having just 253 yards of offense, and much of that came from McCombs, who carried the ball 30 times and recorded his fourth 100-yard game. The Bulls’ defensive line spent much of the afternoon in UConn’s backfield, tying a school record with seven sacks. The Huskies had given up just 17 in their previous six games. Daniels scored on the Bulls’ first drive of the second half with a 22-yard scram-ble through the UConn defense, cutting left to leave redshirt freshman linebacker Yawin Smallwood (Worcester, Mass.) behind on his way to the end zone to give USF a 10-6 lead. But Smallwood later made a key play, tipping a pass that redshirt junior Sio Moore (Apex, N.C.) intercepted to stop a fourth-quarter drive. Offensive mistakes and good defense kept both teams out of the end zone in the first half. USF defensive end Ryne Giddins had nine of his 11 tackles in the first half, to go along with two sacks, a forced fumble. But the Bulls managed just 75 yards of offense and two turnovers before inter-mission. The teams traded field goals in the first quarter. Maikon Bonani hit a 23-yarder to open the scoring, and Teggart capped a 16-play drive on the next possession with an 18-yarder. Teggart hit a short kickoff into a strong wind and Marcus Shaw returned the kick 79 yards to the UConn 8-yard line. But Daniels’ errant pitchout on a second-down option play was picked up by UConn redshirt junior Dwayne Gratz (Piscataway, N.J.). UConn gave the ball back a few plays later when McCombs fumbled. But the Bulls failed to score, when a 46-yard field-goal attempt into the wind fell short. He also missed a 44-yarder in the third quarter that went wide left. Teggart’s second field goal came just before halftime, a 46-yarder that capped a 15-play drive and made it 6-3. His third field-goal, a 28-yarder, cut the lead to 10-9, less than a minute before Martin and Jones teamed up for UConn’s defen-sive score. The Husky offense has now gone two games without a touchdown. USF coach Skip Holtz had not been back to Connecticut since coaching the Huskies from 1994-1998. UConn was still a Division I-AA program then, and Holtz led the school to the Division I-AA playoffs in 1998, the school’s first post-season appearance.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. – Quarterback Tino Sunseri was 29 of 42 in the air for a career-high 419 yards and two TDs to lead Pittsburgh to a 35-20 win over UConn. Pittsburgh outgained UConn in total yardage 529-316 on the night despite loosing Ray Graham, the country’s second-leading rusher, on his second carry of the game. UConn junior quarterback Johnny McEntee (Fullerton, Calif.) struggled in the air as he was 17 of 33 for 193 yards and two TDs. Redshirt freshman Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) enjoyed a productive night on the ground as he rushed 25 times for 124 yards. It marked the fifth 100-yard game of his eight-game collegiate career. Sunseri was also the top ground gainer for the Panthers with 12 carries for 40 yards and a TD. Zach Brown was Sunseri’s favorite target of the night with 9 catches for 84 yards to go with 30 yards gained on the ground. Pittsburgh led 21-3 at halftime but the Huskies scored the first ten points of the second half to cut the Panther lead to 21-13 with 4:08 left in the third. Senior Kashif Moore (Burlington, N.J.) scored UConn’s only TD of the night as McEntee found him wide open with 11:35 to go in the third for a 62-yard score to make it 21-10. Moore finished the game with six receptions for 106 yards. UConn cut it to 21-13 on its next possession as senior Dave Teggart (Northborough, Mass.) hit a 31-yard field goal. It was Teggart’s fifth game of the year with multiple field goals and the 19th of his career. That UConn drive began at its own 22 and the Huskies moved all the way to the Pitt 10-yard line for first and goal, but had to settle for the field goal. As it appeared the game might be turning the Huskies’ way, Pittsburgh quickly came back after the field goal and moved the ball 82 yards on only five plays for a score that made it 28-13. The touchdown was scored on a 27-yard pass from Sunseri to Mike Shanahan. Ronald Jones replaced Sunseri late in the fourth quarter and led the Panthers on their fifth touchdown drive of the night as he found Devin Street for a 14-yard touchdown reception to cap a three play scoring drive. UConn got a one touchdown back with less than a minute to play as McEntee hooked up with junior tight end Ryan Griffin (Londonderry, N.H.) from 14 yards out to put the game at 35-20. Pittsburgh completely dominated the first half outgaining the Huskies in total yardage 321 to 80 and holding a 17-5 first down advantage. The Panthers scored on their first possession as they moved the ball 84 yards. Graham injured his leg on his second rush of the drive, but the Panthers did not flinch as they gained 51 yards on the next four plays for the score. Zach Brown had a three-yard rush for the 7-0 Pitt lead. Pittsburgh made it 14-0 on a 17-yard TD pass from Sunseri to Shanahan that capped a seven-play, 62-yard drive. Sunseri was a perfect five-for-five in that drive for 54 yards in that drive. UConn finally broke into the scoring column when Teggart hit a 40-yarder with 7:17 left in the half to make it 14-3. Connecticut moved the ball effectively as it started on its own 32 and got the ball to first and ten on the Pitt 25, but could only get two yards from there to settle for the field goal.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Redshirt freshman quarterback Scott McCummings (Natick, Mass.) ran for two touchdowns and classmate Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) added 152 yards rushing and a score to lead the University of Connecticut football team to a 28-21 win over Syracuse before a crowd of 38,769 at Rentschler Field. McCummings, who has spent the season coming in only occasionally as the Huskies option-style change-of-pace quarterback, took over the offense in the fourth quarter. He scored on a 10-yard keeper, then led UConn on an eight-play 62-yard drive, running the ball in from seven yards out for the winning score with just under five minutes to play. Ryan Nassib threw for 275 yards and two touchdowns for Syracuse, which failed for the second straight week to become bowl eligible. His fourth-down pass on the Orange’s final drive was knocked down by senior defensive tackle Kendall Reyes (Nashua, N.H.) and UConn was able to run out the clock. Nassib also was picked off twice. Nick Provo had seven catches and a touchdown for the Orange, giving him 39 receptions for the season and breaking the school’s single-season record for receptions by a tight end. Alec Lemon had nine receptions for 157 yards and a score. Provo’s six-yard reception on the opening drive of the second half gave the Orange a 14-7 lead, and the teams went back-and-forth, scoring touchdowns on four consecutive possessions. McCombs tied the game at 14-14 on a three-yard pitch play, and Syracuse responded with a seven-yard reverse play from receiver Dorian Graham and led 21-14 after three quarters. That’s when McCummings took over, keeping the ball on an option play and diving into the end zone at the end of a seven-yard run to tie the game at 21 a minute into the fourth quarter. He finished with 13 carries and 59 yards, and didn’t attempt a pass. UConn senior quarterback Johnny McEntee (Fullerton, Calif.) started the game and was 8-14 for 113 yards and a touchdown, but also threw two intercep-tions. He moved Connecticut inside the 30-yard line on their first five drives of the game, but came away with just seven points. Junior Nick Williams (East Windsor, N.J.) found a lane on the right side of the field and returned the opening kickoff to the Syracuse 33-yard line. Three plays later, McEntee found redshirt junior tight end John Delahunt (Ottawa, Ont.), who stretched the ball over the goal line for a 10-yard touchdown. It was the first time the Huskies had scored on an opening drive since their third game of the season, September 16 against Iowa State. The Huskies had five first-half turnovers. Syracuse had two, including a fumble by Antwon Bailey on the team’s first drive, which set UConn up on the Syracuse 27-yard line. But Syracuse’s Phillip Thomas intercepted McEntee two plays later. On the next Husky drive, McCombs took a toss sweep against an inside blitz by Syracuse, turned the corner and ran 63 yards. But McCummings fumbled the snap on the next play. McCombs also fumbled after the Huskies drove to the 26-yard line early in the second quarter. Syracuse broke through with just under two minutes left in the first half when Nassib found Lemon over the middle from 20-yards out to tie the score at 7-7. Chandler Jones forced two of the Huskies’ fumbles and Thomas’ second interception set up a 37-yard field goal attempt just before halftime. But Ross Krautman pulled it wide left.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw for 174 yards and Victor Anderson rushed for 72 to lead the Cardinals to a 34-20 win over Connecticut on Saturday before a crowd of 34,483 at Rentschler Field. Connecticut drops to 4-6 on the season and 2-3 in the BIG EAST while Louisville is 6-5 and 4-2. “It’s very disappointing,” UConn coach Paul Pasqualoni said. “At this point in the season they’re all disappointing. With our conference the way it is, it’s very disappointing. Where this win would have put us would have been a lot of fun.” Bridgewater completed 14 of 22 passes with an interception. The Cardinals had lost three of their last four games to UConn. UConn redshirt senior quarterback Johnny McEntee (Fullerton, Calif.) was 18 of 43 passing for 253 yards for UConn, but some eight or nine of McEntee’s passes were dropped by his receivers. “It’s hard to talk about. You saw it,” Pasqualoni said. “Why? I can’t tell you that. We caught the ball well all week in practice. It was very difficult for us today. Some of those drops were key plays.” Redshirt freshman Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) rushed for 33 yards -- well under his 109-yard per-game average -- but did become the second UConn freshman to pass the 1,000-yard mark. Senior wide receiver Kashif Moore (Burlington, N.J.) caught six passes for 110 yards and a TD and also scored a rushing touchdown. In a game dominated by defense for long stretches, the Cardinals pulled away when their offense finally hit its stride. Bridgewater scored on a 5-yard run late in the third quarter to put his team ahead 21-10. His option-keeper capped a 95-yard drive that was jump-started by a running-into-the-kicker penalty on UConn senior defensive tackle Kendall Reyes (Nashua, N.H.), and kept alive by a 39-yard pass to Smith down the sideline. The Cardinals appeared to put the game away early in the fourth quarter on Bridgewater’s second score. The touchdown, which made it 28-10, was preceded by Josh Bellamy’s 35-yard, juggling catch. UConn closed the gap with 8:34 to play in the game when McEntee hit Moore with a 30-yard touchdown pass. A field goal by the Huskies with 13 seconds left pulled them within 28-20, and the successful onside kick that ensued gave them a slim chance of sending the game to overtime. Although the game’s final play was a com-pleted McEntee pass, it was followed by a series of laterals and resulted only in another Louisville score. Malcolm Mitchell picked off the final pitch and returned it 36 yards for a touchdown.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. - University of Connecticut redshirt freshman running back Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) and redshirt freshman quarterback Scott McCummings (Natick, Mass.) each ran for two touchdowns as UConn defeated Rutgers 40-22 on Saturday before a crowd of 37,857 at Rentschler Field on Senior Day. Connecticut improved to 5-6 on the season and 3-3 in the BIG EAST. The Huskies play their regular season finale next Satuday at Cincinnati. A win by UConn would make the Huskies bowl eligible for the fifth-straight year. Rutgers, who was looking to advance to its first-ever BCS game and a share of its first-ever BIG EAST Championship, fell to 8-4 and 4-3 in the league. Junior Nick Williams (East Windsor, N.J.) had 158 return yards, setting up the Huskies in good field position all afternoon and senior defensive tackle Kendall Reyes (Nashua, N.H.) returned a Chas Dodd fumble for a touchdown. Brandon Coleman had 223 receiving yards and two touchdowns for Rutgers. Mohammad Sanu caught nine balls for 133 yards, extending his conference-leading total to 109 receptions this season. McCombs carried the ball 20 times for 95 yards. He now has 1,109 on the season, the fourth consecutive 1,000-yard season for a Huskies running back. Rutgers freshman Gary Nova threw two fourth-quarter touchdowns to Brandon Coleman. His 17-yarder made it 40-16 and the pair hooked up on a 92-yard catch and run with 2:15 left in the game. The two-point conversion attempts following each touchdown failed. Nova completed 11 of 18 passes for 298 yards, all in the fourth quarter in relief of Dodd. He was 11 of 22 for 141 yards, but he fumbled and was inter-cepted, and both turnovers turned into UConn touchdowns. The Huskies held Rutgers to 26 yards rushing and had six sacks, four by junior defensive end Trevardo Williams (Bridgeport, Conn). UConn had just 290 offensive yards, but started five drives in Rutgers territory and two others near midfield. Williams had three kickoff returns for 128 yards, and a 30-yard punt return. He returned the second-half kickoff 54 yards and McCombs took a handoff on the next play and ran right for 36 yards. His 4-yard run up the middle two plays later gave the Huskies a 31-10 lead. Williams’ long punt return set up UConn’s next touchdown, a 14-yard option keeper by McCummings that put the Huskies up 37-10. The extra point was blocked, giving senior Dave Teggart (Northborough, Mass.) his first miss in 128 point-after attempts. Teggart came back to hit a 47-yard field goal after UConn ate up almost six minutes of the clock on its next possession, aided by a roughing the punter call on Rutgers. Connecticut turned two early Rutgers turnovers into touchdowns. UConn redshirt junior linebacker Sio Moore (Apex, N.C.) forced a fumble by Jawan Jamison on the third play of the game, giving the Huskies the ball on the Scarlet Knights’ 24-yard line. UConn then handed the ball off twice to McCombs, who ran for 14 yards one first down and then went into the end zone from 10 yards out to give the Huskies a 7-0 lead. Redshirt freshman safety Ty-Meer Brown (McKeesport, Pa.) intercepted a pass tipped by redshirt freshman safety Byron Jones (New Britain, Conn.) on Rutgers’ next drive, giving UConn the ball at the 40. McCummings ran the ball in from the 5-yard line, making a nice spin move after keeping the ball on an option play.

CINCINNATI – Qarterback Munchie Legaux threw a career-high three touchdown passes on Saturday while the Bearcats’ defense got two scores of its own as Cincinnati defeated the University of Connecticut football team by a score of 35-27 before a crowd of 27,930 at Nippert Stadium. The loss ends Connecticut’s season with a record of 5-7 and 3-4 in the BIG EAST. The loss also means that UConn’s streak of four-straight bowl game appearances has been snapped. Cincinnati ends the regular season with a record of 9-3 and is 5-2 in the BIG EAST to earn a share of the league championship. UConn junior quarterback Johnny McEntee (Fullerton, Calif.) helped the Bearcats get off to a fast start. Lineman Walter Stewart plucked the ball from his passing hand in the end zone for Cincinnati’s first touchdown, and Drew Frey returned an interception 15 yards for a 14-0 lead. Cincinnati led the league race before senior quarterback Zach Collaros broke his right ankle during a loss to West Virginia. Legaux, a sophomore, gave his best performance in his third collegiate start, going 15 of 35 for 217 yards. Legaux had a 22-yard touchdown pass to Alex Chisum and a 13-yarder to Anthony McClung that made it 28-3. The second touchdown pass came at the end of a 72-yard drive in which the Bearcats converted three long third downs and a second-and-26. McClung also had a 31-yard TD catch in the third quarter. The sopho-more had career highs with 8 catches for 142 yards. The Bearcats pulled ahead 35-12, and then withstood McEntee’s two fourth-quarter touchdown passes. McEntee finished 20 of 40 for 252 yards and was sacked six times. UConn shared the BIG EAST title last season with West Virginia and Pittsburgh. The Huskies got the BCS bid on the tiebreakers and played in the Fiesta Bowl. They needed a win on Saturday to become bowl eligible for a fifth straight season. The Huskies were coming off a 40-22 win that knocked Rutgers out of contention for a share of the league title. They never fully recovered from the two early turnovers for touchdowns. All the Huskies managed were field goals of 35, 46, 53 and 43 yards by senior Dave Teggart (Northborough, Conn.) while they fell behind 35-12. UConn ended the season without winning back-to-back games. Redshirt freshman running back Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) finished the game with 42 yards on 21 carries.

HISTORICAL T IMELINE

1897 1919

1896The 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 base-ball. Connecticut is known as Storrs Agricultural College.

1897 A year of firsts, all in one game; first game against Rhode Island,

first game against a collegiate opponent and first game in the newly formed conference. S.A.C. wins 22-8.

1899Storrs Agricultural College changes its name to Connecticut

Agricultural College.

1901The 1901 squad finished 8-2 and registered six shutouts on the

season, including five straight in one stretch. Rhode Island was the only 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.

1919Gardner Dow, a native of New Haven,

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

1923Connecticut enters the New England Conference, which includes all

New England state schools except for the University of Vermont.

1924This squad is down in the annals as

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

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

1934First season for head coach J.O. Christian. The school receives big

press coverage at the end of the 1-7 campaign for stealing the Rhody Ram mascot before the game with Rhode Island (pictured above).

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

of the school.

1939First season as the University of Connecticut; team defeats Coast

Guard, 14-0, in the first game ever played under flood lights at Gardner Dow Field.

1945 1958 1965

1942, 1944-1945During the war years, head coach J.O. Christian and the Huskies

put together a three-year stretch like none other in school history. In that three-season span (with no football being played in 1943), Connecticut won 20 of 24 contests. The Huskies registered separate winning streaks of six, eight and five games and shutout their oppo-nents in 13 of the 20 wins.

1945UConn tailback Walt Trojanowski shares the NCAA scoring title

with Doc Blanchard of Army. Both men scored 132 points on the season.

1947UConn becomes a charter member of the Yankee Conference.

1953Memorial Stadium opens with a 26-6 Connecticut win over St.

Lawrence on October 10, 1953. The 1953 season also marked the first appearance at a football game for the marching band.

1956-1960UConn captures five straight Yankee Conference Championships, a

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

1965UConn beats Yale for the first time ever (pictured on page 138), on

September 25, 1965, 13-6. UConn becomes the first school from within the state of Connecticut to ever beat Yale.

1969UConn joins the NCAA in celebrating the 100th anniversary of col-

lege football by selecting an 11-member All-Time UConn team. More than 130 UConn football players receive votes in the balloting of fans, alumni and former players.

1967-73Connecticut captures four Yankee Conference championships in a

seven-season span, going 27-6-3 in league play during that stretch.

1983Linebackers John Dorsey and Vernon Hargreaves become the first

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.

1989UConn plays the first night game in the history of Memorial

Stadium on September 23, 1989, and defeats New Hampshire, 20-10.

1990Matt DeGennaro finishes his Husky career as the leading passer in the

history of the Yankee Conference, totaling 9,288 yards and 73 touchdowns.

1995UConn 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.

1998UConn 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 All-Time Team and finishes his career in the top two of every quarterbacking category in school history.

1999Randy Edsall becomes UConn’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, beat-ing Buffalo 23-0 on September 16.

HISTORICAL T IMELINE

2003 2004 2007 2010

2000UConn 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.

2001UConn earned its first-ever victory over a BIG EAST opponent as

Marc Hickok nailed a career-long 47-yard field goal with 3:04 remain-ing 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 sta-tistics and the Huskies placed in the national top five in passing defense and ranked 19th in total defense. Terry Caulley was the nation’s lead-ing 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.

2003UConn made its debut at Rentschler Field, playing to 93% capac-

ity (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 open-ing day.

2004UConn 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. The Huskies led the conference in both total offense and total defense while Cornell Brockington led the BIG EAST with 1,218 rushing yards. The season ended with a win over Toledo in the Motor City Bowl as quarterback Dan Orlovsky was named MVP.

2007UConn 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.

2008UConn advanced to a bowl in consecutive seasons for the first time

in school history and defeated Buffalo in the 2009 International Bowl in Toronto. 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.

2009Connecticut 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.

2010UConn appears in a Bowl Championship series game for the first

time as it plays Oklahoma in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The Huskies won five consecutive games to close the regular season and claim the BIG EAST Championship and a trip to the BCS.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BOWL GAME RECAPS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With his 126 yards on the day, senior tailback and Fred Sington Most Vaulable Player Andre Dixon reached the 1,000-yard mark for the season becoming the 12th 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 tip-toed along the sidelines and extended into the endzone to put the Huskies up with 6:31 remaining in the first quarter.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

UCONN AND THE NFL

A number of former University of Connecticut football players have gone on to be drafted or signed free agent contracts with the

National Football League. In 2009, UConn had a school-high 11 former players on NFL active rosters while in 2010 a total of nine were on active rosters with 10 in 2011.

UConn’s NFL Draft history continues to be richer and richer as at least one Husky has been picked in every draft since 2007 and 16 Huskies have been picked since 2005.

UCONN AND THE CFL

UConn AnD the CAnADiAn footBAll leAGUe

T he University of Connecticut has a long

tradition of sending players to the Canadian Football League – both Canadian natives as “non-import” players and natives of the United States.

UConn has five players in the CFL during the 2012 season. Tight end Martin Bedard is a four-year member of the Montreal Alouettes and the

team was Grey Cup Champions in 2009 and 2010.

Larry Taylor is a four-year veteran of the CFL and plays for Calgary after playing for Montreal from 2008-2010. Taylor also won a pair of Grey Cup titles and was the 2009 CFL Special Teams Player of the Year. As a rookie in 2008, he returned two punts for touchdowns in the East Division final against Edmonton.

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

The following other Huskies have won Grey Cup titles: Shawn Mayne with Montreal in 2009 and ’10; Danny Desriveaux with Montreal in 2009; and Maurice Lloyd with Saskatchewan in 2007. Former UConn tight end Martin Bedard, who graduated in 2008, was one of four for-

mer Huskies that were on the 2009 Montreal Alouettes team that won the Grey Cup in November 2009.

Brian Herosian was a CFL East Division all-star selection twice and played for Winnipeg from 1975-78.

STORRS CENTER

W hen the Town of Mansfield and the University of Connecticut

formed the Mansfield Downtown Partnership, Inc. over a decade ago, it was perhaps difficult to imagine a vibrant, walkable downtown in the heart of the Mansfield. But now, steps away from the Town Hall, Mansfield Community Center, E. O. Smith High School, and UConn’s School of Fine Arts, the beginnings of Storrs Center provide a tangible preview of good things to come in this college town!

Construction began on the first phase of Storrs Center with a cer-emonial groundbreaking on June 29, 2011. Governor Dannel P. Malloy, Mansfield Mayor Betsy Paterson, and UConn President Susan Herbst were on-hand to celebrate the culmination of many years of planning and the beginning of a new chapter in the Town-Gown relationship. Less than a year later, the first businesses opened the doors of their new homes: Storrs Automotive (11 Dog Lane) and Select Physical Therapy (9 Dog Lane, Suite 108) opened in Storrs Center in April.

The first phase of Storrs Center (Phase 1A) consists of 1 Dog Lane and 9 Dog Lane, which feature commercial uses on the first floors and rental apartments on the upper floors; the new Storrs Automotive in 11 Dog Lane; and a new parking garage. The rental apartments, The Oaks on the Square, were fully leased by the end of April 2012 and will open in mid-August 2012.

Businesses have lined up quickly for the new downtown. In 1 Dog Lane, visitors will find Dog Lane Café (from the owners of the Vanilla Bean

Café in Pomfret and 85 Main in Putnam), Froyoworld, Insomnia Cookies, Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mooyah Burger & Fries and Subway. Nine Dog Lane will be the home of Bank of America, Body Language, Geno’s (a new restaurant from UConn women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma), Head Husky, Husky Pizza, Select Physical Therapy, Sweet Emotions Candy and Travel Planners. These businesses will all begin to open in mid-August.

Meanwhile, the next phase is already under construction. Phase 1B includes another mixed-use building, featuring commercial spaces and additional apartments from The Oaks on the Square, and the intermodal transportation center. Both of these buildings are being constructed adja-cent to the parking garage, which will open to the public in mid-August 2012. The Oaks on the Square will begin accepting applications for the apartments in September, but information is available now on their website: www.theoaksonthesquare.com.

The commercial spaces for Phase 1B are filling up as quickly as those in the first phase did. The UConn Co-op will open a new satellite location facing the Town Square while maintaining its existing location across the street from Gampel Pavillion.

CLOSE TO STORRS

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

NEW YORK CITY (142 miles)

The United States’ largest city and “the media capital of the world,” New York City is located approximately two hours from Storrs and offers a wide array of cultural opportunities. From the glitter of Times Square, to the vast expanse of Central Park, to the majestic skyline, New York City is an incomparable destination and one that can be easily reached by the Metro-North train lines that run into southern Connecticut. UConn students also enjoy the city’s active sporting landscape. The BIG EAST Conference men’s basketball tournament, played every March at fabled Madison Square Garden, is one of the country’s premier collegiate conference championship events. The New York metro area also boasts 10 major professional sports franchises, including the NFL’s New York Jets and Giants, Major League Baseball’s New York Mets and Yankees, the NBA’s New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets, the NHL’s New York Islanders, New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils and the WNBA’s New York Liberty.

SPRINGFIELD (47 miles)

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is located less than an hour from Storrs in Springfield, Mass., just minutes from the YMCA where Dr. James Naismith invented the game in 1891. A must-see for any fan of the hardwood, the Hall of Fame reopened in the fall of 2002 in a 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.

CLOSE TO STORRS

BOSTON (86 miles)

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

PROVIDENCE (51 miles)

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

THE CITY OF HARTFORD

I t has long been known as the “Insurance Capital

of the World” and it serves as a daily busy hub for some of the most dynamic corporations in the nation. It also serves as the home for UConn football at Rentschler Field and a home-away-from-home for the UConn men’s and women’s basketball teams at the XL Center.

The City of Hartford, Connecticut’s state capital, and the Greater Hartford region are ranked highly for workforce productivity, accessibility, income levels, technology, education, the arts and heritage. Hartford is resource-rich with desirable residential real estate, communications, infrastructure, parkland and nature trails, health care and pubic safety.

The city serves as the headquarters for several Fortune 500 companies, including United Technologies Corporation, The Hartford Financial Services Group, Aetna, Inc., and Northeast Utilities. Hartford employs seven times more people in the insurances field than the average metropolitan area. Among those employers are Aetna, Hartford Steam Boiler, ING, CIGNA, Travelers and The Phoenix Companies.

Hartford is home to the nation’s oldest public art museum (Wadsworth Atheneum), the oldest public park (Bushnell Park), the oldest continuously published newspaper (The Hartford Courant), the second-oldest secondary school (Hartford Public HS), and until its closure in 2009, the sixth-oldest opera company in the nation (Connecticut Opera).

In 2010, the Hartford metropolitan area ranked second nationally based on per capita economic activity, behind only San Francisco, California. Hartford is ranked 32nd of 318 metropolitan areas in total economic production and, with its Knowledge Corridor sister city Springfield, Mass, the two cities metropolitan areas generate over $110 billion GDP, more than nearly half of the 50 U.S. states.

Hartford’s neighborhoods are diverse and historic. The central business district, as well as the State Capitol, Old State House and a number of museums and shops are located Downtown. Parkville, home to Real Art Ways, is named for the confluence of the north and the south branches of the Park River. Frog Hollow, in close proximity to Downtown, is home to Pope Park and Trinity College which is one of the nation’s oldest institutions of higher learning. Asylum Hill, a mixed residential and commercial area, houses the headquarters of several insurance companies as well as the historic homes of Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe.

The West End, home to the Governor’s residence, Elizabeth Park, and the University of Connecticut School of Law, abuts the Hartford Golf Club. Sheldon Charter Oak is renowned as the location of the Charter Oak and its successor monument as well as the former Colt headquarters including Samuel Colt’s family estate – Armsmear. The North East neighborhood is home to Keney Park and a number of the city’s oldest and ornate homes. The South End features “Little Italy” and was the home of Hartford’s sizeable Italian community. South Green hosts Hartford Hospital. The South Meadows is the site of Hartford-Brainard Airport and Hartford’s industrial community.

The North Meadows has retail strips, car dealerships, and Comcast Theatre. Blue Hills is home of the University of Hartford and also houses the largest per capita of residents claiming Jamaican-American heritage in the United States. Other neighborhoods in Hartford include Barry Square, Behind the Rocks, Clay Arsenal, South West, and Upper Albany- which is dotted by many Caribbean restaurants and specialty stores.

Hartford has also attracted many significant businesses in other industries including aerospace, precision machinery, information technology and

health and medical. Four of the nations Top 25 Companies For Executive Women, as recognized by Executive Female, are located in Hartford.

The newest attraction in Hartford opened in 2005 with the debut of the Connecticut Convention Center — a $230 million, 1.6 million-square-foot convention facility that is one of a series of projects that is bringing new life to the city.

One of the hubs of downtown activity in Hartford is the XL Center, which is also the home facility for the Hartford Wolfpack of the American Hockey League. Each year, the finest golfers in the world compete at The Travelers Championship, which is played at Cromwell’s Tournament Players Club at River Highlands and is part of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS WARDE MANUEL

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

letics that ranges from being a student-athlete to a director of athletics, became the Director of Athletics in March. Manuel, a 1990 graduate of the University of Michigan where he played both football and track and field, has most recently been the Director of Athletics at the University at Buffalo for the past six years.

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

“I am so honored and excited to come to the University of Connecticut,” said Manuel. “UConn is synonymous with greatness, excellence and achieve-ment. It is without a doubt one of the legendary schools that is at the pinnacle of intercollegiate athletics. The opportunity to be the athletics director at UConn and lead this extraordinary division is the role of a lifetime. You have remarkable coaches, great leadership, outstanding student-athletes and a wonderful base of fans, alumni and supporters. Our focus will be on academic success, compliance, ensuring great relationships with our fans, friends and supporters and, without a doubt, victory on the field and the court. My family and I are so happy to call UConn home.”

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

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

Under Manuel’s direction, UB student-athletes, coaches and staff are committed to community outreach and developed a comprehensive outreach program that reached across social and economic borders. UB student-athletes, coaches and administrators conduct over 2,500 community service hours in the Western New York community on an annual basis. UB’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) also coordinates 16 community service projects per year including internal campus related projects and external community

projects. Each of Buffalo’s 20 athletic teams also conduct at least one community service project per year.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Manuel and his wife, Chrislan, have a daughter, Emma (17), and a son, Evan (13).

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

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

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

The home of University of Connecticut football — Rentschler Field — happens to be both. The stadium is one of the newest and most modern BCS college football stadiums 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 58 games in the facility over the past nine seasons and has posted an impressive 43-15 record at Rentschler Field – including perfect records in 2010 (6-0) and a 7-0 mark in 2007 to set a UConn single-season record for home wins.

The Huskies have sold out 29 of their 58 Rentschler Field games, including a streak of 12 in a row. UConn has played to a 98 percent of capacity during its time there before a total of 2,220,124 fans.

The building of the facility and its management was and is the result of incredible teamwork and dedication between the state’s Office of Policy and Management, the town of East Hartford, United Technologies Corporation and the assistance from numer-ous public and private sector organizations. The result of this coop-eration gives the people of Connecticut the opportunity to view

college football at its highest level in a world-class facility. The natural grass playing surface of Rentschler Field is 26 feet

below grade at the stadium and was resodded in the summer of 2011. Rentschler Field features stadium seating, outdoor chairback seating, fully enclosed club seats and luxury suites.

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

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

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

The media facilities are some of the most modern in the coun-try with seating for 125 media members in the main press area. There are also separate booths for television and radio broadcasts. That level also includes booths for coaching staffs, security, public address announcer, scoreboard operation and other gameday facili-ties.

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

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

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

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

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

The west end of the stadium features a scoreboard that has a 24-foot by 32-foot video replay screen.

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

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

Rentschler Field is a facility that was built for Connecticut, by Connecticut. Through a concerted effort, the sta-dium project far outpaced the state’s requirements to help small, women and minority-owned compa-nies grow with ongoing economic development. This means contractors and individuals that may never before have been able to benefit from proj-ects of this scale helped build their skills, their companies and their careers while they help build their community.

groups that staffed the concession stands on game days are able to generate approximately $65,000 on an annual basis through their work at the games.

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

The stadium was developed by the State of Connecticut

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

In addition to UConn football, the stadium also played host to a pair of Bruce Springsteen concerts on Sept. 16 and 18, 2003, a concert by the Rolling Stones on Aug. 26, 2005 and the Police on July 31, 2007. It also has served as the home of the annual Governors’ Cup High School All-Star game between Connecticut and Rhode Island and has played host to college lacrosse games.

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 28, 2006; an exhibition women’s soccer match between the United States and Norway on July 14, 2007; a World Cup sendoff match between the United States and the Czech Republic on May 25, 2010; and an exhibition women’s soccer match between the United States and Sweden on July 17, 2010.

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).

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

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

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

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

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

HUSKY TRADIT IONS

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

the winter of 2008 and made his Rentschler Field debut at the 2008 Blue-White Spring Football Game. He will be 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“The Husky Walk”UConn fans get a chance to greet the Huskies as the team arrives at Rentschler Field for gameday. “The Husky Walk” takes places about two-and-a-half hours before each game as the UConn buses pull up to Gate D of the stadium and make their way to Gate C.

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

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 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 docu-menting 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 14 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, 2004 and 2011 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, photo-graphs and select artifacts from its humble beginnings in the 1890s to its present day ranking among the elite major college athletic programs in the nation.

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

Men’s Soccer trophies; the 1981 and 1985 NCAA National Championship Women’s Field Hockey trophies; the 1950s era baseball gloves belonging to

Connecticut’s three Dropo brothers-including Walt Dropo’s first baseman’s mitt when he was the American League Rookie of the Year with the Boston Red Sox in 1950; the 1935 Ramnapping Trophy, awarded annually to the winner of the Connecticut-Rhode Island football game; a 1931 football signed by the entire Connecticut squad; team pho-tos 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, 2011).

The pinnacle achievement of UConn’s nine NCAA National Championships in both men’s and women’s basketball is preserved and promoted in a unique circular sanc-tuary–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.

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

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

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

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

BOWL GAMES

T he BIG EAST Conference 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 confer-ences that receives an automatic annual bid in the existing agreement.

The BIG EAST Conference champion earns the league’s automatic BCS bid. The BCS – which enters its 15th season in 2012-13 – 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 excit-ing 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, that team earns 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, Discover Orange Bowl, Allstate Sugar Bowl or the Rose Bowl Game presented by VIZIO. Each bowl hosts two games once every four years - its traditional game plus the National Championship Game approximately one week later.

The BIG EAST unveiled an enhanced col-

lection of bowl partnerships beginning in 2010 that matches conference teams against opponents from the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big 12 Conference, the Southeastern Conference and Conference USA.

The Russell Athletic Bowl has the first selec-tion of BIG EAST teams after the conference’s BCS representative is determined. The Atlantic Coast Conference will provide the opposition for the Champs Sports Bowl, which is played in Orlando, Fla.

The BIG EAST enters its 11th year as a partner with the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, N.C. Played in Bank of America Stadium, the Belk 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 conferences partnered for a new bowl game in 2010 as the New Era Pinstripe Bowl was played for the first time at Yankee Stadium in New York City. In the event that the Big 12 is unable to send an eligible team to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, Notre Dame could step in as the BIG EAST team’s opponent.

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 BBVA Compass 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 deal. The BIG EAST has been a partner with the BBVA Compass Bowl since 2006 and has sent a number of teams to the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in recent years.

The 2012 season will mark the fifth year of the BIG EAST’s partnership with the Beef ‘O’Brady’s Bowl at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Beef ‘O’Brady’s Bowl pairs the BIG EAST represen-tative against an opponent from Conference USA.

The enhanced lineup gives BIG EAST teams access to at least six postseason games each year.

SNY is the “the official television home of the UConn Huskies football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball pro-grams”. In conjunction with UConn, SNY is entering its third year of a comprehensive, multi-year partnership that made SNY the official regional television home of UConn men’s basketball and football. The excitement continues as SNY will now be the home of UConn women’s basketball starting in 2012-13, which will lead to unique cross promotional opportunities with all three programs on the same outlet.

SNY’s regional territory includes all of Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Northeast Pennsylvania for a reach of 8.7 million households. With national coverage on DirectTV, Verizon FiOS, Comcast Cable and AT&T U-Verse, SNY’s total distribution is 13.7 million homes. It is the television home of the New York Mets, New York Jets and the BIG EAST Conference.

“We’re excited to have this landmark partnership with the University of Connecticut, one of the preeminent schools in the BIG EAST Conference and in the nation,” said Steve Raab, President of SNY. “SNY provides UConn fans with an unprec-edented level of in-depth coverage and original programming dedi-cated to the Huskies. The addition of women’s basketball adds to our landmark partnership with UConn and a special opportunity for SNY. Our unmatched distribution, unprecedented program-ming commitment, and live game production experience provides us the unique opportunity to help maintain and grow UConn’s leadership position.”

SNY features approximately 700 hours of programming a year dedicated to UConn football, men’s basketball and football. Additionally, SNY has significantly expanded its UConn sports cov-erage throughout its sports news and entertainment programming, including its critically acclaimed SportsNite show – which airs Monday-Sunday at 10 p.m., 1 a.m. and throughout the morning.

This past spring, SNY provided live national coverage of UConn’s annual Blue-White Game. SNY has also created a UConn Huskies sports section on the network’s website – www.SNY.tv – which features original content, including video and a dedicated UConn Huskies blog.

As the exclusive TV home of UConn football, SNY is plan-ning to air approximately five live games in 2012 – which will be

wrapped by in-depth post-game shows – produced by SNY. In addi-tion to the network’s live game coverage, SNY carries the following UConn Huskies football programming:

When the college basketball season tips off, SNY’s all-access pass features at least 13 UConn men’s basketball contests and a minimum of 17 women’s basketball contests each season. In addi-tion to the network’s live basketball games – and SNY’s expanded coverage throughout its sports news and entertainment program-ming – UConn fans receive the following SNY programming dedi-cated to the UConn basketball program:
