THE COACHES
CONNECTICUT�HEAD�COACH�PAUL�PASQUALONI
UConn head coach Paul�Pasqualoni�made his Husky head coaching debut a
successful one on Sept. 3 as the Huskies topped Fordham of the FCS. The
Cheshire, Conn., native was named the 28th head football coach in UConn his-
tory on January 14, 2011.
Pasqualoni has had a highly-successful career on all levels of football -- profes-
sional, college and high school. He was the head coach at Western Connecticut
from 1982-86 and led the team to the NCAA Division II playoffs in 1985.
He had an extremely successful tenure as the head coach at Syracuse from
1991-2004. Pasqualoni led the Orange to 107 wins, four BIG EAST titles and
a 6-3 postseason record. Among his bowl appearances at Syracuse were two
Fiesta Bowls (1992 and ‘97) and an Orange Bowl (‘98).
Pasqualoni� is� the� all-time� winningest� coach� in� BIG�EAST�Conferenceleague�wins�with�62�and�is�tied�for�first�in�overall�wins�with�108�with�FrankBeamer�of�Virginia�Tech. He is just one of two league coaches in history to win
four BIG EAST Championships. His overall college coaching record stands at 142-
78-1 (34-17 at WCSU, 107-59-1 at Syracuse and 1-2 at UConn).
For the previous five seasons, Pasqualoni had served on NFL staffs -- with
Dallas in 2005-07 and ‘10 and with Miami in 2008-09.
His first coaching job was an assistant coach at Cheshire HS from 1972-75. He
is a 1972 Penn State graduate.
BULLFAO�HEAD�COACH�JEFF�QUINN
Jeff�Quinn� is in his second season in charge of the Buffalo program. His first
Buffalo team had a 2-10 record in 2010. Quinn had last been the offensive coordi-
nator and offensive line coach at Cincinnati of the BIG EAST for three years. Before
coming to the Bearcats, he was the associate head coach and offensive coordina-
tor at Central Michigan. He came to CMU in 2004 after coaching for 15 seasons at
Grand Valley State, where the team won back-to-back national championships in
2002 and ‘03.

SERIES NOTES
HUSKIES�VS.�BUFFALO�ALL-TIME
Saturday’s game will be the 18th time Buffalo and UConn have met and UConn leads the
series by a 14-4 count. Buffalo is a very familiar non-conference foe for the Huskies as the
program has ascended to the FBS level.
UConn and Buffalo met in 10 of 11 seasons from 1995-2005. The Huskies have won ten
of the last 11 meetings with the Bulls, with the exception being a 37-20 Bull win in Storrs in
2001. Buffalo was the only team to play UConn in all four of its first Division I-A seasons.
The last meeting between the schools came on Sept. 25, 2010 as UConn topped the
Bulls by a score of 45-21 at Rentschler Field. The game was tied 14-14 at the half, but
pulled away in the second half for the win by scoring 31 of the game’s 38 final points.
Robbie�Frey led UConn in rushing with 112 yards while D.J.�Shoemate had 60. All-
American Jordan�Todman missed the game with an injury.
Jerry�Davis was 18 of 42 in the air for the Bulls for 227 yards of passing and three
TDs. Davis also rushed for 57 yards.
The two schools also met on Jan. 3, 2009, as the Huskies beat Buffalo in the 2009
International Bowl in Toronto to wrap up the 2008 season. UConn won the game by a score
of 38-20.
HUSKIES�VS.�MAC�ALL-TIME
Connecticut enters Saturday’s meeting vs. Buffalo with a 16-2 record against opponents from
the Mid-American Conference (MAC) since making the move to the Football Bowl Subdivision
in 2002. The two losses includes a 30-16 defeat at Temple last year -- the week before UConn
topped Buffalo. Prior to that game, Connecticut’s last loss to a MAC opponent came back on
Sept. 28, 2002, when it dropped a 24-21 overtime decision vs. Ball State. Also prior to the
Temple game, the Huskies have won each of their last 13 games against MAC foes by an
average margin of 17.8 points over that span.

HUSKIES�IN�THE�NFL
As the NFL held its training camps, there are a total of 14 Huskies
in NFL camps before final cuts were made. UConn had 11 former
players that were on NFL rosters in 2009 (a school high) and nineformer Huskies are currently on NFL rosters.
The 2009 NFL Draft made history for the Huskies as four UConn
players were selected in the first 63 selections. UConn is the only
BIG EAST school to have four players picked that early since the
league was reorganized in 2005. UConn had two players selected
in the 2010 NFL Draft and four more in ‘11.
The�number�of�former�UConn�players�on�NFL�teams�is�nownine. They are:
* Offensive tackle William�Beatty of the New York Giants, who is
entering his third year and has six starts over the past two seasons
for the Giants.
* Running back Donald�Brown, who is entering his third year with
the Indianapolis Colts. He was UConn’s first All-American in the
BCS era and the Huskies’ first NFL First Round Draft Pick. He’s
with the Indianapolis Colts and played in the Super Bowl his rook-
ie year.
* Defensive back Darius�Butler, who played the past two seasons
for the New England Patriots, was waived by the team and then
signed by the Carolina Panthers
* Defensive back Tyvon�Branch, who is entering his fourth year
with the Oakland Raiders. He has started all 16 games for the
Raiders over the past two years.
* Wide receiver Marcus�Easley with the Buffalo Bills, who missed
all of last season (rookie) with an injury, and is on the injured
reserve list again.
FB, Anthony�Sherman, a fifth round pick of the Cardinals
TB, Jordan�Todman, a sixth round pick of the Chargers
LB, Scott� Lutrus, who signed a free agent contract with the
Jaguars and was released and was then signed by the Rams on
the practice squad.
LB, Lawrence�Wilson, a sixth round pick of the Panthers, who
was cut by the team and later resigned for the practice squad ros-
ter.
HUSKIES�IN�THE�CFL

HUSKIES�ON�THE�REBOUND
UConn is 26-16 in games following a loss since Oct. 26, 2002.
BALL�CONTROL�IS�THE�KEY
A telling sign of UConn’s strong performance on both sides of the ball
during its tenure as a FBS program has been its ability to both record
and prevent long drives.
Since the start of the 2002 season, UConn’s offense has
strung together 78 scoring drives of at least 80 yards while the
Husky defense has surrendered just 55 such marches -- includ-
ing two by Michigan and Oklahoma and one by Buffalo and
Cincinnati last year. UConn had two 80-yard scoring drives vs.
Fordham in the 2011 opener.
UConn also holds a 19-6 advantage over its opponents in the num-
ber of 90-yard and over drives since becoming a I-A program.
Michigan had a 96-yarder last year.
HUSKIES�DOMINATING�ON�BOTH�SIDES�OF�THE�BALL
Over the past 104 games, UConn has outgained its opponent 64times. This stretch, like many UConn trends, dates back to a 28-24
loss at Vanderbilt on Oct. 26, 2002.
CONNECTICUT’S�FOUR�CAPTAINS��
The UConn team selected four team captains for the 2011 season,
Kendall�Reyes (for the second-consecutive year) and Kashif�Moorewith Moe�Petrus and Blidi�Wreh-Wilson.

McCOMBS�BACKING�IT�UPMcCombs� rushed� for� 118� yards� in� the� Sept.� 10� game� vs.Vanderbilt�and�his�first�college�game�against�FBS�competition.McCombs has now rushed for a total of 308 yards in his first three
collegiate games. He is currenlty the 32nd leading rusher in the
country at 101.67 yards per game.
THE�QUARTERBACK�RACE
Connecticut entered the 2011 season without a quarterback who
has started a collegiate game and with only one quarterback who
has played in a collegiate game.
UConn started three different QBs last year, who have all moved
on from the program -- graduated Zach Frazer with ten starts,
including the last six of the 2010 season; Cody Endres with two
starts and Mike Box with one.
Here’s a quick look at the three Husky QBs who are competing for
playing time this year:
* Senior Johnny�McEntee� (Fullerton, Calif.) -- Walk-on who has
played in two games over the past two seasons...gained internation-
al fame last winter with his “trick shot” video on YouTube...the video
now has over six million hits...started the Fordham game and was 8
of 12 in the air for 113 yards...started the Vanderbilt game and was
10 of 27 in the air for 99 yards and three intercptions and was
sacked four times...started the Iowa State game and was 13 of 30 in
the air for 188 yards with one interception.
* Redshirt freshman Scott� McCummings� (Natick, Mass.) --
Redshirt freshman who attended same high school as Doug
Flutie...had over 2,000 yards of passing in senior year with over
1,000 yards of rushing...passed for 15 TDs as a senior and rushed
for another 12...was 1 for 1 in the air vs. Fordham with a 55-yard TD
pass and also ran the ball seven times for 23 yards...carried the ball
five times in the Vanderbilt game..was 1 for 3 in Iowa State game
with a 39-yard TD pass to Kashif Moore.
* Freshman Mike�Nebrich (Burke, Va.) -- Highly-decorated Virginia
high school player who enrolled at UConn for the spring 2011
semester...as a senior, broke the Virginia state record for all-purpose
yards with 4,968 and scored 59 TDs...had 11 yards of rushing vs.
Fordham with 60 passing yards on 3 of 8...was one of two in the air
vs. Vanderbilt...was 1 for 3 in the air for two yards vs. Iowa
State...also had four carries vs. Iowa State.
EXPERIENCE�ON�THE�LINE
Whoever gets the nod at quarterback for the Huskies plays behind
an experienced offensive line.
Senior center Moe�Petrus (St. Laurent, Que.) has started 42 con-
secutive games for the Huskies -- and the last 29 at center.
Senior left tackle Mike�Ryan (Tamaqua, Pa.) returns after earning
All-BIG EAST first team honors last year and has started 24 games
over the past two years.
Junior Adam�Masters (Bethesda, Md.) will play right guard and
started ten games last year -- the final six at right tackle.
Sophomore Kevin�Friend�(Warrentown, Va.) will play right tackle
and had a pair of starts last year.
GOING�TO�THE�TIGHT�END
As the offensive philosophy of head coach Paul�Pasqualoni and his
offensive coordinator George DeLeone develops at UConn, throw-
ing to the tight end has obviously been emphasized.
The second-leading receiver on the team is redshirt junior RyanGriffin (Londonderry, N.H.), who has eight of UConn’s 38 receptions
this year. He also has 155 of UConn’s 563 receiving yards this year
and has one of UConn’s two receiving TDs.
CAREER�NIGHT�FOR�(ISIAH)�MOORE
UConn senior wide receiver Isiah�Moore (Cambridge, Mass) had a
career-night vs. Iowa State as he had eight catches for 143 yards for
two career highs. He also had a 41-yard reception, which topped his
career high. His previous single-game career highs were four recep-
tions in four different games, 76 receiving yards at Baylor in 2009
and a 28-yard long reception in that same game.

dEFENSE NOTESLOTS�OF�STARTS,�STARTERS�BACK
Connecticut returns one of the most experienced defenses in the
country and in the BIG EAST Conference this season.
On the defensive line, UConn returns players that started 45
games in 2010 and 93 for their career.
The linebackers have just nine career and nine starts from ‘10
returning.
The secondary is also very experienced with 45 starts back from
last year and 71 for their careers.
For totals, the UConn defense has 100 starts returning from last
season and a total of 173 career starts.
JENNINGS�GETS�FIRST�CAREER�START
Connecticut redshirt junior Teddy�Jennings (Dayton, Ohio) made
his first career start against Fordham at defensive end. He
responded by making eight tackles -- with 2.5 for a loss. He
enjoyed another outstadning game vs. Vanderbilt as he made four
tackles with 2.5 for a loss and he had three tackles vs. Iowa State.
Jennings moved into the starting linep after playing in 13 games
over the past two years as a reserve. He started in place of the
injured Jesse Joseph, who did not dress for the first time in his
career vs. Fordham. The junior had started in 25 games over the
past two years, missing one game, but dressed for it.
SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES
TEGGART�CAREER�LEADER�IN�FIELD�GOALS,�POINTS
Redshirt senior Dave� Teggart (Northborough, Mass.) has con-
nected on all 105 of his extra point attempts during his career --
including 36 in 2010 and 47 in 2009. The 47-straight extra points
from 2009 is a school record while his 36 from 2010 is third.
His 56 career field goals is a school record, which he broke
with a 24-yard FG vs. Cincinnati in 2010.

son�record.�He had a total of 14 field goals in 2009 which is tied
as the sixth-highest in school history while his 13 as a freshman is
seventh.
Teggart recorded what is arguably the biggest play in school his-
tory in the regular season finale of 2010 as he kicked a 52-yard
field goal with 17 seconds left to play to lift UConn to a 19-16 win
over USF that sent the Huskies to their first BCS game in school
history. Earlier in the fourth quarter of that game, he kicked a 50-
yarder.

16-13 win over West Virginia on Oct. 29 of last year. He�had�a�totalof�three�field�goals�in�that�game�and�was�named�the�BIG�EASTSpecial�Teams�Player�of�the�Week�for�his�efforts.
Those “final play” game-winners were the second and third of his
career as he ended the 2009 regular season in fine form as he boot-
ed a 42-yard field goal as time expired to give the Huskies a 29-27
win over USF.
Dating back to 2009, Teggart has kicked a field goal in 16 of
the past 18 games. Teggart kicked a 29-yard field goal with 1:10 to
go that tied the game vs. Notre Dame (Nov. 21, 2009) -- a contest
the Huskies eventually won in overtime.
Teggart� is� the� first� kicker� in� school� history� to� successfullyconvert�his�first�11�field�goal�attempts.
NICK�WILLIAMS�LEADS�THE�COUNTRY�IN�KO�RETURNSUConn sophomore Nick�Williams (East Windsor, N.J.) returned two
kickoffs for TDs in 2010. Against Pittsburgh he returned a kickoff 95
yards for a touchdown. The KO return came at a key time as the
Panthers had just gone up by eight points, 21-13.
Williams also had a 100-yard KO return for a touchdown vs.
Rutgers -- the fourth in school history.
Williams led the country in kickoff returns last year with 35.29
yards per return.
Williams�becomes� just� the�second�Husky�ever� to�have� twoKO�returns�for�a�TD�in�a�career -- joined by Tyvon Branch, who had
both of his in 1997.
This year he has 10 kickoff returns for an average of 22.3 yards
per return.
STAdIUM/ATTENdANCE NOTES
RENTSCHLER�FIELD
The Huskies moved into brand new Rentschler Field in East Hartford
for the 2003 season. Conveniently located within miles of Interstates
91, 84 and 384, the home of the Huskies lies on 75 acres of land
donated to the State of Connecticut from the historic Pratt & Whitney
Airfield. The stadium, like the former airfield, is named for that com-
pany’s founder, Frederick Rentschler. The stadium boasts a capacity
of 40,000 with 38 luxury suites in a massive press box tower which
helps enclose the natural grass field.
A�HOT�TICKET
Swelling interest in the Husky football program as it gradually moved
up into BIG EAST play can perhaps be best evidenced by the rise in
attendance. UConn sold 28,000 season tickets in 2008 and sold its
entire allotment of student season tickets at 4,700. These figures are
staggering sums considering that the entire 2001 season ticket base
was around 4,000. In 2002, the number reached 11,300 in the final
season of Memorial Stadium. The burgeoning season ticket base
more than doubled to 24,000 for the inaugural season at Rentschler
Field and rose to 28,000 a year later in 2004. UConn reached an all-
time high of 32,000 season tickets in 2005.
FAN�NO.�2,000,000On�Friday�night,�UConn�welcomed� the� 2,000,000� fans� toRenstchler�Field� in� its�history.�That� lucky�fan�was�ShaneBuzzell�and�he�received�a�variety�of�prizes�and�made�anapperance�on�the�field.
The Huskies have sold out 29 of their first 53 dates at
Rentschler Field, including a stretch of 12�in�a�row.
UConn has played to 96.0-pct. of capacity all-time there,
drawing 2,035,205 fans, or an average of 38,400 per game.
RENTSCHLER�FIELD�PROVES�FRIENDLY�FOR�HUSKIES
The Huskies went 7-0 at home in 2007 at Rentschler Field and
also 6-0 last year. UConn’s 3-4 mark at home in 2006 was its
only sub-.500 record at Rentschler Field.
The seven home wins in 2007 set a school record for a sin-
gle season which was previously set in 2004.
Prior to the Iowa State loss, UConn�had�won�nine�consec-utive�games�at�Rentschler�Field.
UConn presently stands at 40-13� all-time� at� RentschlerField�including a 23-5�mark�in�non-conference�games.
MICHIGAN,�TENNESSEE�WILL�VISIT�RENTSCHLER�FIELD
Following UConn’s trip to Ann Arbor on Sept. 4, the Wolverines
will come to Rentschler Field on Sept. 21, 2013 to take on the
Huskies.
UConn will also play a home-and-home series with
Tennessee beginning in 2015 with the Volunteers coming to
Rentschler Field on Sept. 26 with a return trip to Knoxville on
Sept. 3, 2016.
Other upcoming non-conference opponents coming to
Rentschler Field include Iowa State (2011), North Carolina
State (2012) and Maryland (2013). UConn has now played host
to non-conference opponents from the Atlantic Coast
Conference, Big 10, Big XII and Southeastern Conference at
Rentschler Field.

EAST�HARTFORD,�Conn.�-�Freshman running back Lyle McCombs(StatenIsland, N.Y) rushed for 141 yards and four touchdowns in his first collegiategame as the University of Connecticut football team won their 2011 seasonopener, 35-3, over Fordham before a crowd of 34,562 at Rentschler Field.
The game marked the Connecticut debut for head coach PaulPasqualoni, who tied Frank Beamer of Virginia Tech for the most overall winsby a BIG EAST coach. They both have 108 victories. Pasqualoni was thefirst Connecticut football coach to win his debut since 1923.
The Huskies initial drive ended in a punt after two first downs, but ontheir second possession began to force their will on their FCS opponent afterforcing a Fordham three-and-out. A six-play, 58-yard drive was capped by aMcCombs two-yard run. The key play on the drive was a 24-yard pass fromJohnny McEntee (Fullerton, Calif.) to Isiah Moore(Cambridge, Mass.).
The Huskies started the redshirt junior McEntee, but Pasqualoni playedthree signal callers in the contest. Redshirt freshman Scott McCummings(Natick, Mass.) and true freshman Michael Nebrich(Burke, Va.) both playedwell in their Connecticut unveilings.
Early in the second quarter, the Huskies took over from their own 20 andMcCombs had his first big play from scrimmage, rambling 60 yards beforebeing caught at the Ram two-yard line. Two plays later, McCombs scoredfrom the one and Connecticut had a 14-0 lead.
The Connecticut defense, which was spectacular all day, got its firstturnover of the season when redshirt freshman safety Byron Jones (NewBritain, Conn.) picked off a Peter Maetzold pass. On the next play fromscrimmage, McCummings hit redshirt junior tight end RyanGriffin(Londonderry, N.H.) with a beautiful 55-yard catch-and-run off of playaction to put the Huskies ahead by three scores.
The Huskies kept that 21-0 lead until midway through the third quarterwhen McCombs capped drives with scoring runs of five- and one-yard.McCombs' four touchdowns was the first time a Connecticut footballerachieved that feat since Jordan Todmanturned the trick against Cincinnati in2009.
McEntee completed eight-of-12 passes for 113 yards, while Nebrich wasthree-of-eight, for 60 yards and one interception. The McCummings scoringpass to Griffin was his only attempt of the game. Griffin set a career-standardwith his 97 receiving yards.
The Connecticut defense held the Rams to just 169 total yards ofoffense 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 offenseto 193 yards, 118 of rushing by redshirt freshman Lyle McCombs(StatenIsland, N.Y.), as the Commodores posted a 24-21 win over the Huskiesbefore a crowd of 32,119 at Vanderbilt Stadium on Saturday night. McCombs rushed for his 118 yards on 27 carries and has now rushedfor at least 100 yards in his first two collegiate games. Husky junior quarterback Johnny McEntee(Fullerton, Calif.) was 10 of27 in the air for 99 yards, but had three interceptions. Larry Smith was 12 of 24 in the air for 140 yards while Jerron Seymourhad eight carries for 70 yards. On Vanderbilt's first drive of the fourth quarter, redshirt freshman YawinSmallwood (Worcester, Mass.) returned a fumble 64 yards with 10:34 left togo, 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 SioMoore's(Apex, N.C.) hit of Smith jarred the ball loose and Smallwood washome free. After the UConn defense forced Vanderbilt to punt on their ensuingdrive, McEntee threw his third interception of the night, as Robby Barbierireturned 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 thirdquarter to make it 14-13 entering the final stanza. On Vanderbilt's third playfrom scrimmage of the second half, junior Jory Johnson (Mobile, Ala.) pickedoff a Smith pass to give UConn the ball at the Vandy 17. UConn could onlymove the ball six yards to set up a 28-yard field goal by senior kicker DaveTeggart(Northborough, Mass.). The Huskies then cut the lead to a point, 14-13, as redshirt freshmanByron Jones(New Britain, Conn.) blocked a punt in the endzone. It wasUConn's first blocked punt since 2008 and the first for a TD since 2002. Connecticut moved the ball efficiently on the first possession of thegame 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-yardfield goal by Teggart. The field goal gave Teggart the UConn career scoringrecord with 262 points, which he extended later in the game. Vanderbilt went four and out on its first possession, but McEntee threwa first down interception picked off by Kenny Ladler that put the ball at theUConn 42. Vanderbilt came right back on the next play with a 42-yard TDpass 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 andten play that capped a six-play 80 yard drive. The Commodores had 134yards of total offense in the first quarter and 82 of them came on scoringplays.
