I feel like it is fair to the rest of the people at UConn's football press conference to let it be known that I am the one who asked - or started to ask - the question about mid-season coaching changes to Randy Edsall.

The struggles in pass defense have been well documented but it's time to break it down statistically.

Perhaps if the Huskies had been playing a quarterback not named Quinton Flowers, the 24 players honored before their final game at Rentschler Field would have left their home away from home with a victory to celebrate.

If there was a person at Rentschler Field who understood what the members of the UConn football team was going through during another humbling defeat, Dan Orlovsky would certainly fill the bill.

Kevon Jones had a pair of scoring runs as East Hartford defeated Southington 27-20 to hand the Blue Knights their first regular-season loss since Oct. 19, 2013 when Hall posted a 49-37 victory. Southington's last regular-season home loss had come to Cheshire in 2010. I saw a report that it h…

One former UConn standout went from the practice squad to the active roster, could another one follow the same path?

Not long after watching his team give up a program record 70 points against Memphis a couple weeks ago, UConn coach Randy Edsall stood up at the press conference following the game and when he was questioned about the effectiveness of the newly-installing 3-3-5 defense, he declared that it w…

Junior Joseph, who earlier in the game moved into the top 20 on UConn's list of career tacklers, had just made perhaps his signature play during his successful run with the Huskies.

Time for my weekly "where Arkeel Newsome stands" update.

With the regular season at its midway point, there's one aspect of the 2017 UConn football team that has flown under the radar.

Perhaps UConn senior linebacker Junior Joseph will find his way onto a professional football roster but if that is not the case, today was the last game he will play in his native Pennsylvania.

The assigning of numbers often comes and goes with little time for reflection.

There are two constants surrounding UConn's longest rushing and passing plays this season.

During his days at Ansonia High School, if one person was assigning with tracking all of Arkeel Newsome's record-breaking achievements, I'm not sure they could have kept up with the speedy running back. Well, he is still breaking records as a member of the UConn team.

Things were trending in the right direction when the UConn defense limited an explosive Memphis offensive unit to a total of seven yards in consecutive drives in the first quarter.

Other than the quarterback position, there might not be another spot on the football field where the backup gets the spotlight shined on him more than at center when pressed into duty.

When I got around to looking at the stats from the SMU game, one of the first things that struck me was the passing efficiency rating that Bryant Shirreffs registered in the loss to the Mustangs.

There were no thoughts about the game that got away the last time out when Tyler Davis came down with the successful two-point conversion pass just nine seconds into the fourth quarter.
