2009 Connecticut Football Preview:
Head Coach: Randy Edsall
Connecticut has always been known as a basketball school, with top programs in both men's and women's hoops. But UConn football Coach Randy Edsall has built a program that one day could rival the success of their basketball teams. Edsall and his Huskies squad are riding high heading into the 2009 season, after their first bowl win in 5 years. If Connecticut can retool its running game and get their defense playing lights out, then look for the Huskies to once again be one of the top football teams in the Big East Conference.

The University of Connecticut Huskies fielded its first football team in 1896. The program was a perennial conference championship contender first in the New England Athletic Conference and then the Yankee Conference. UConn made its first Div I-AA playoffs in 1998 in its 100th season, and 1999 won its first game against a Div I-A team, beating Buffalo 23-0. The UConn Huskies would beat a Big East team for the first time in 2001, and play their first bowl game in 2004, where they routed Mid-American Conference Champs Toledo 39-10 in the Motor City Bowl in Detroit behind the leadership of MVP Quarterback Dan Orlovsky. This gradual success is recognized as the fastest progression from Div I-AA to Div I-A in college football history.
The Connecticut Huskies play their home games at Renschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut. The stadium holds 40,000 spectators and was opened in 2003. It was designed to be expandable, and with UConn’s recent success will likely hold more in the future. A game at Renschler Field is an unforgettable experience. Witnessing the rabid fans of such a growing program support their team makes it nearly impossible not to root with them. Buy UConn Huskies football tickets and witness a team on the rise!
