THE COACHES CONNECTICUT HEAD COACH RANDY EDSALL UConn Randy Edsall has tackled the challenge of bringing a former NCAA Division I-AA team up to par with the BIG EAST in a 10-year span head on, guiding the Huskies to the 2007 BIG EAST Championship, three bowl games in the past five years with two bowl wins. He is beginning his 12th season at UConn and has led the Huskies to wins in 55 of the UConn’s last 90 games dating back to the ninth game of the 2002 season. He has a 57-41 (.582) mark through the first 98 games of UConn’s tenure at the FBS level. His overall career mark at UConn stands at 66-65. Saturday’s game against Michigan will be the 132nd of his UConn career --the most of any coach in UConn history. He topped the mark of 121 set by J.O. Christian (1934-49). His 66 career coaching wins at UConn is tied as the most in school history along with Christian. Immediately prior to becoming UConn’s head coach in 1998, Edsall served as defensive coordinator at Georgia Tech in 1998 under George O’Leary. Edsall began his coaching career at his alma mater, Syracuse, from 1980-1990, working under Frank Maloney and Dick MacPherson in a variety of capacities. Edsall moved on to Boston College where he coached defensive backs under Tom Coughlin from 1991-93 before following Coughlin to the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars, staying on the First Coast through the 1997 season. Edsall is a native of Glen Rock, Pa., and graduated from Susquehannock High School. He was inducted into the York Area Sports Hall of Fame. MICHIGAN HEAD COACH RICH RODRIGUEZ Rich Rodriguez is entering his third season in charge of the Michigan program and is just the school’s 11th head coach since 1901. Prior to coming to Michigan, he was the head coach at West Virginia for seven years -- his alma mater. He had a 60-28 record at WVU and led the school to four BIG EAST titles and six consecutive bowl games. Before becoming the coach at WVU, he was the offensive coordinator and associate head coach at Clemson in 1999 and 2000. He was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Tulane the two years before that. He was the head coach at Salem in 1988 and at Glenville State from 1990-96. Rodriguez was a three-year letterwinner at WVU as a defensive back. M

SQUAD NOTES EDSALL HAS LONGEVITY AT UCONN UConn head coach Randy Edsall is in his 12th season in charge of the Huskies and he is tied for the seventh-longest tenured FBS coach at his current job. In addition to Edsall, Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz (a UConn graduate) and Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops were all hired for their current jobs heading into the 1999 season. Joe Paterno is in his 45th season at Penn State to lead the way. Edsall has now won 66 games at UConn, which ties him for the school record set by J.O. Christian (1934-49). Edsall holds the UConn school record for most games coached with 131 and broke the record of 121 held by Christian. Edsall is the fourth coach to lead the Huskies into 100 career games, joining Christian (121), Tom Jackson (119 from 1983-93) and Robert Ingalls (106 from 1952-63). CLOSE CALLS UConn’s five losses last season were by a combined 15 points and the Huskies have held fourth quarter leads in four of the five games. * Sept. 12 vs. North Carolina: UConn led 10-0 after three quarters, but gave up 12 fourth quarter points for the loss. The Tar Heels scored the winning points on a safety when UConn was called for holding in the endzone. * Oct. 10 vs. Pittsburgh: UConn led 21-3 late in the third quarter. Pittsburgh scored a TD with 12 seconds left in the third quarter and added a TD and field goal as time expired for the win. * Oct. 24 vs. West Virginia: UConn led 17-14 at halftime and took a 24-21 lead with 3:50 to go in the fourth on an 88-yard TD play. West Virginia came right back and scored on a 56-yard running play with 2:10 to go for the win. * Oct. 31 vs. Rutgers: UConn led 24-21 after taking their first lead of the game with 38 seconds to go. Rutgers scored on an 81-yard pass play for the 28-24 win. * Nov. 7 vs. Cincinnati: This time a UConn comeback fell short. UConn trailed 3010 at the half and 37-17 with 7:03 to go in the third. UConn then outscored Cincy 19-3, but failed on a two-point conversion with 5:03 to go that would have tied the game at 40-40. The teams traded TDs for the 47-45 final.

SCOUT TEAM PLAYER OF THE WEEK Each week head coach Randy Edsall issues an award for the Scout Team Players of the Week. In recognition of their hard work, those players earn a spot on the Husky travel squad and the dress list for that week’s game. GAME BALLS After each UConn victory, head coach Randy Edsall awards game balls for the team’s top performer on offense, defense and special teams. ACTIVE CAREER LEADERS: Robbie Frey (4), Scott Lutrus (4), Lawrence Wilson (4), Moe Petrus (2), Anthony Sherman (2), Dave Teggart (2), Cody Endres (1), Trevardo Williams (1). HUSKIES ON THE REBOUND UConn is 23-14 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 71 scoring drives of at least 80 yards while the Husky defense has surrendered just 49 such marches. UConn also holds a 19-5 advantage over its opponents in the number of 90-yard and over drives since becoming a I-A program. HUSKIES DOMINATING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL Over the past 89 games, UConn has outgained its opponent 58 times. 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 2010 season, Scott Lutrus and Anthony Sherman (both for the second-consecutive year) and Zach Hurd with Kendall Reyes. Jasper Howard, who passed away last season and would have been a senior in 2010, is an honorary captain.
OFFENSE NOTES TODMAN LEADS THE RUSHING GAME Junior Jordan Todman (North Dartmouth, Mass.) is the leading returning rusher for the Huskies as he rushed for 1,188 yards last year -- the sixth-highest mark in school history. He also teamed with the graduated Andre Dixon (who rushed for 1,093 yards in ‘09) to mark the first time UConn had two 1,000 yard rushers in the same season. UConn was just one of three FBS schools to have multiple 1,000 yard rushers last year. Todman was a Second Team All-BIG EAST performer in 2009 and became the 11th Husky to rush for 1,000 yards. His 235 carries in 2009 was the sixth-highest in school history and his 14 rushing TDs is tied for fifth. Todman had five 100-yard rushing performances last season, including three of the last four regular season games. He was named a preseason candidate for the Doak Walker Award, given to the top running back in the nation.

FRAZER AT THE QB POSITION Senior Zach Frazer leads the Huskies at the top spot at quarterback as the 2010 season opens. Frazer has seen action in 12 games for UConn over the past two seasons and has nine career starts. Frazer transferred to Connecticut from Notre Dame and sat out the 2007 season in Storrs. Frazer began the 2009 season as UConn’s starting QB and led the Huskies to a win at Ohio. He was injured in the loss to North Carolina and did not play in the next five games. He was called into action on Oct. 31 vs. Rutgers when Cody Endres went down and was 21 of 46 for 333 yards, one TD and three interceptions. Frazer started the five games of 2009 and led the Huskies to wins in the final four. Following the three interceptions vs. Rutgers, he threw just to more in the next five games. He led his team to a double-OT win over his former school, Notre Dame, and was 12 of 25 for 141 yards against the Irish. He also enjoyed an outstanding game in the regular season final vs. USF as he was 20 of 30 for 225 yards and a pair of TDs. Frazer made his collegiate debut in UConn’s win over Louisville in 2007 at quarterback for the Huskies. He came into the game late in the first half after starting QB Tyler Lorenzen suffered a broken foot. He led the Huskies to a come-from-behind win over Louisville as he was eight of 15 in the air for 90 yards and a touchdown -- despite not having played in an organized football game since his high school senior year of 2005 in Mechanicsburg, Pa. EXPERIENCE ON THE LINE Todman, Frazer and company will have a chance to run the offense behind a very experienced line this year. UConn returns players that made 49 of the 65 starts on the offensive line. UConn’s returning offensive linemen have made a total of 75 starts over their careers. Senior offensive guard Zach Hurd (Waterford, Conn.) and junior center Moe Petrus (St. Laurent, Que.) lead the way with 26 career starts. FREY LOOKING FOR BOUNCE BACK Junior Robbie Frey (Lehighton, Pa.) ended his season in 2009 on Oct. 31 as he suffered a knee injury against Rutgers. He also saw limited practice time during the spring. He has enjoyed a productive preseason camp and will be looking for playing time at both the tailback spot and on kickoff returns. Frey had a solid day returning kickoffs on October 24, 2009 vs. West Virginia as he had a career-high 136 yards on five returns. His high was 55 yards in the second quarter -- which set up a TD drive. He had three returns for 163 yards vs. Rutgers before a shoulder injury ended his day and season. He had a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown vs. the Scarlet Knights -- the third in school history. . THE RECEIVERS NEED TO STAND UP As experienced as UConn is in many areas of its team this year, it does lack that at the wide receiver position. UConn lost its top two receivers from last year in Marcus Easley (48 rec., 893 yards, 8 TD) and Brad Kanuch (27 rec., 325 yards and a TD). Those two combined for 75 of UConn’s 214 receptions (35 percent) and nine of UConn’s 16 receiving TDs (56.3 percent). UConn’s leading returning receiver is redshirt junior Isiah Moore (Cambridge, Mass.), who had 24 receptions for 286 yards and a TD. Second is redshirt sophomore tight end Ryan Griffin (Londonderry, N.H.) with 23 for 272 yards.

SHOEMATE JOINS THE HUSKIES Tailback D.J. Shoemate (Corona, Calif.) enrolled at UConn in July. after spending his first two years at the University of Southern California. Shoemate is eligible to play at UConn immediately and has two years of eligibility remaining. Shoemate served as a backup fullback for the Trojans and played on special teams as a sophomore in 2009. He played in 12 games for USC and had a pair of carries for two yards and two receptions for 23 yards, including a 13-yard TD. Shoemate began 2008 as a wide receiver, and then was moved mid-season to fullback. He also played on special teams and played in a total of nine games. He enjoyed a tremendous career at Servite High School in Anaheim where he was teammates with current Husky quarterback Johnny McEntee.
DEFENSE NOTES DEFENSE AMONG THE NATION’S BEST UConn’s defensive unit was amongst the best in the nation in 2007 and 2008. In 2008, the UConn scoring defense was ranked 22nd in the country and third in the BIG EAST at 19.77 points per game and was sixth in the nation and first in the BIG EAST in total defense, giving up just 278.00 yards per game. UConn was also first in the league in pass efficiency defense and ninth in the country. WILSON, LINEBACKERS EXPERIENCED UConn senior linebacker Lawrence Wilson (Birmingham, Ala.) was the leading tackler on the Husky team with 140 stops and had 11 tackles for a loss and five sacks. He was a first team All-BIG EAST pick last year. He is part of a highly experrienced linebacker unit. Wilson has started 37 games during his career and all 13 last year. Joining him is senior Greg Lloyd (Clermont, Fla.), who has 20 career starts (most of them on the defensive line) and senior Scott Lutrus (Brookfield, Conn.) with 34. Lloyd was a second team All-BIG EAST pick and suffered a season-ending knee injury that also kept him out of spring practice. It was originally thought that Lloyd might have to miss this season as well, but he has recovered and will play. JOSEPH STARTS RIGHT AWAY UConn sophomore Jesse Joseph (Laval, Que.) started his first career game for the Huskies in last year’s opener. He became the first Husky to start as a true freshman in a season-opener since punter Shane Hussar in 2004. Tailback Terry Caulley and fullback Deon Anderson both started the season-opener as true freshmen in 2002. Joseph wound up starting all 13 games and had 38 tackles on the season. Joseph became the first player to start the opening game as a true freshman on defense in the UConn FBS era -- since 2002.

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES TEGGART ALREADY IN RECORD BOOK Redshirt junior Dave Teggart (Northborough, Mass.) has connected on all 63 of his extra point attempts during his career -- including 47 last year. The 47-straight extra points ties a school record while its also the fourth-highest total in single-season history. Teggart ended the 2009 regular season in fine form as he booted a 42-yad field goal as time expired to give the Huskies a 29-27 win over USF. He also kicked a 29-yard field goal with 1:10 to go that tied the game vs. Notre Dame (Nov. 21) -- a contest the Huskies eventually won in overtime. He had a total of 14 field goals in 2009 which is tied as the fourth-highest in school history. Teggart made his collegiate debut on Oct. 25, 2008 as the Huskies’ kicker and was an impressive four-for-four on field goals and also made four extra point attempts against Cincinnati. Teggart is the first kicker in school history to successfully convert his first 11 field goal attempts. SHOES TO FILL AT PUNTING UConn lost a highly experienced punter from the last three years in Desi Cullen. Cullen graduated as the leading punter in school history in terms of average at 41.1 yards per boot. Last season, he averaged 42.8 yards per punt (another school record) and had two of the top six punting seasons in school history.
STADIUM/ATTENDANCE NOTES RENTSCHLER FIELD The Huskies moved into brand new Rentschler Field in East Hartford for the 2003 season with the stadium opening its doors on August 30 when UConn defeated Indiana, 34-10. 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 stadium boasts a capacity of 40,000 with 38 luxury suites in a massive press box tower which helps enclose the natural grass field.
SELLOUTS THE NORM The Huskies have sold out 26 of their first 45 dates at Rentschler Field, including a stretch of 12 in a row. UConn has played to 96-pct. of capacity all-time there, drawing 1,733,960 fans, or an average of 38,532 per game. RENTSCHLER FIELD PROVES FRIENDLY FOR HUSKIES The Huskies went 7-0 at home in 2007 at Rentschler Field and 42 in 2005 after compiling a 6-1 home record in 2004. 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. In the process, the Huskies joined the 1993 West Virginia Mountaineers as the only BIG EAST schools to ever post a perfect 7-0 home record. UConn presently stands at 33-12 all-time at Rentschler Field including a 19-4 mark in non-conference games. MICHIGAN, TENNESSEE AMONG THOSE COMING TO RENTSCHLER FIELD IN THE FUTURE Following UConn’s trip to Ann Arbor this weekend, 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 Vanderbilt (2010), Iowa State (2011), North Carolina State (2012) and Maryland (2013). By the conclusion of the 2010 season, UConn will have played host to non-conference opponents from the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big 10, Big XII and Southeastern Conference at Rentschler 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.
