The Cheshire, Conn., native was named the 28th head football coach in UConn history 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 enters the 2011 season as the all-time winningest coach in BIG EAST Conference league wins with 62 and is second in overall wins with 107 -- and with his first UConn win will tie the record of 108. He is just one of two league coches in history to win four BIG EAST Championships. His overall college coaching record stands at 141-76-1 (34-17 at WCSU and 107-59-1 at Syracuse). For the past five seasons, Pasqualoni has 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. FORDHAM HEAD COACH TOM MASELLA Tom Masella is in his sixth season as the Fordham head coach and his tenth over- all as a collegiate head coach.

UCONN�FOOTBALL�A�LEADER�IN�ACADEMICS

The UConn football program continues to be a leader in the BIG EAST

Conference in terms of academic performance by its student-athletes.

UConn�was�the�top�team�in�the�NCAA’s�Graduation�Success�Rate�(GSR)of�both�October�2008�and�’09�among�league�schools.�The�Huskies�latestGSR,� released� in� October� 2010,� UConn� was� third� in� the� BIG�EAST�andwithin�four�points�of�the�second�place�team.

The UConn football program also had the highest NCAA GSR for African-

American student-athletes among all state universities that participated in a

bowl game in 2008.

In five of the past seven years, including 2007, ‘08 and ‘09, UConn was rec-

ognized by the American Football Coaches Association for its high graduation

rate.

UConn’s�overall�GSR�in�2009�was�the�third-highest�of�the�more�than�50state�universities�that�participated�in�a�bowl�game.

In 2011, the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) for the UConn football

team was an impressive 953 over a four-year cycle, with a one-year mark of 959

for the 2009-10 academic year.

HUSKIES�VS.�THE�BIG�EAST

UConn owns an all-time mark of 22-26 in BIG�EAST�Conference�games since

joining the league for football in 2004. The Huskies posted their best confer-

ence record with a 5-2 mark in 2007 and ‘10.

UConn’s current five-game BIG EAST Conference games winning streak

is the longest in school history.

HUSKIES�ON�THE�ROAD�SINCE�2002

The Huskies have put together a 21-29 road record since 2002.

In non-conference�road�affairs over that same span, Connecticut has posted

a mark of 16-11 and has won�eight�of�its�last�12�such�games, including 2009

wins over Ohio, Baylor and Notre Dame and 2011 losses to Michigan and Temple.

HUSKIES�VS.�NON-CONFERENCE�FOES�SINCE�2002

Connecticut boasts a 40-18 record against non-conference opponents in the

regular season since making the move to the FBS in 2002.

The Huskies have won 15 of their last 20 regular season non-league

games overall with the only blemishes coming via a one-point loss at

Virginia (17-16) in 2007, losses to North Carolina in 2008 and ‘09 and

Michigan and Temple in ‘10.

UConn has posted the following records in non-conference regular season

games: 6-6 (2002), 9-3 (2003), 4-1 (2004), 3-1 (2005), 3-2 (2006), 4-1 (2007),

4-1 (2008), 4-1 (2009), 3-2 (2010).

HUSKIES�IN�THE�NFL

As the NFL continues its preseason, there are a total of 14 Huskies

in NFL camps. UConn had 11 former players that were on NFL

rosters in 2009 (a school high) and nine former Huskies are cur-

rently 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.

Here a look at UConn players in NFL camps.

* Fullback Deon�Anderson�of the Miami Dolphins, who played four

seasons with Dallas before moving to the Dolphins in mid-2010.

* 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 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.

* Cornerback Robert�McClain of the Carolina Panthers, who start-

ed two games as a rookie last year.

* The veteran of the group is QB Dan�Orlovsky, who is now with

the Indianapolis Colts and is entering seventh NFL season with

three different teams.

* Offensive guard Donald�Thomas, who joined the Detroit Lions

mid-season after spending his first year-plus with the Dolphins.

UConn’s drafted players from 2011 and free agent signees are:

FB, Anthony�Sherman, a fifth round pick of the Cardinals

LB, Lawrence�Wilson, a sixth round pick of the Panthers

TB, Jordan�Todman, a sixth round pick of the Chargers

DE, Greg�Lloyd, a seventh round pick of the Eagles

OL, Zach�Hurd, a free agent signee of the Seahawks

LB, Scott�Lutrus, a free agent signee of the Jaguars

DS, Derek�Chard, a free agent signee of the Steelers (cut)

HUSKIES�IN�THE�CFL

In addition, there are four former UConn players in the CanadianFootball�League this year.

Martin�Bedard (Montreal Alouettes) is entering his third year and

has been part of two Grey Cup championship teams.

Larry�Taylor�is in is fourth year in the league and is now with Calgary

after spending the first three with Montreal. He was the 2009 CFL

Special Teams Player of the Year.

Julius�Williams, who played at UConn through 2008, is in his first

year with the Edmonton Eskimos.

Jordan�Younger is in his eighth season in the league -- all with

Toronto.

Taylor and Bedard and the Montrela team won Grey Cup cham-

pionship game last December by a 21-18 score against

Edmonton.

HUSKIES�ON�THE�REBOUND

UConn is 26-15 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 75 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 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 102 games, UConn has outgained its opponent 63times. 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.

OFFENSE NOTES

THE�QUARTERBACK�RACE

Connecticut enters 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 will be compet-

ing for playing time this year:

>> 2011 University of ConneCtiCUt football GaMe notes>> 6

Page 7: UConn vs. Fordham Football Notes

* 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 millions hits.

* 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.

* 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.

EXPERIENCE�ON�THE�LINE

Whoever gets the nod at quarterback for the Huskies against the

Rams, will be able to play behind an experienced offensive line.

Senior center Moe�Petrus (St. Laurent, Que.) has started 39 con-

secutive games for the Huskies -- and the last 26 at center.

Senior left tackle Mike�Ryan (Tamaqua, Pa.) returns after earning

All-BIG EAST first team honors last year and has started 21 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 start at right

tackle and had a pair of starts last year.

DEFENSE NOTESLOTS�OF�STARTS,�STARTERS�BACK

Connecticut returns on 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.

SPECiAL TEAMS NOTES

TEGGART�CAREER�LEADER�IN�FIELD�GOALS

Redshirt senior Dave� Teggart (Northborough, Mass.) has con-

nected on all 99 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 52 career field goals is a school record, which he broke

with a 24-yard FG vs. Cincinnati in 2010.

His�99�extra�points�is�tied�for�second�in�school�history�whileMatt�Nuzie�had�124�from�2003-06�for�the�record�and�Nick�Sosik(1990-93)�also�is�second�with�99.�His�254�career�points�is�sec-ond�in�school�history�while�again�Nuzie�leads�with�259.Teggart’s� 25� field� goals� last� year� was� a� school� single-

seaosn�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 fresh-

man is seventh.

Teggart recorded what is arguably the biggest play in school his-

tory in the regular seaso 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 histo-

ry. Earlier in the fourth quarter of that game, he kicked a 50-yarder.

Teggart kicked a 27-yard field goal in overtime to lift UConn to a

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

booted a 42-yard field goal as time expired to give the Huskies a

29-27 win over USF.

Dating back to 2009, Teggart had kicked a field goal in 14 of

the past 15 games. Teggart kicked a 29-yard field goal with 1:10

to go that tied the game vs. Notre Dame (Nov. 21, 2009) -- a con-

test 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.) has

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.

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 company’s founder, Frederick Rentschler. The sta-

dium 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.

SELLOUT�STATSThe Huskies have sold out 29 of their first 51 dates at Rentschler

Field, including a stretch of 12�in�a�row.

UConn has played to 96.7-pct. of capacity all-time there,

drawing 1,963,448 fans, or an average of 38,469 per game.

RENTSCHLER�FIELD�PROVES�FRIENDLY�FOR�HUSKIES

The Huskies went 7-0 at home in 2007 at Rentschler Field and also

6-0 this 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 single

season which was previously set in 2004.

UConn presently stands at 39-12�all-time�at�Rentschler�Fieldincluding a 22-4�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.
