I am excited to be your new Director of Athletics here at UConn and want to thank all of you for the warm welcome I have received since coming to the state of Connecticut. A college football game day is one of the great sporting experiences in America and please know that we are committed to that type of scintillating atmosphere here at UConn. I am very impressed with the direction that Coach Diaco has our Husky football program headed in and I believe our future is very bright under his leadership. We have an incredible home schedule this year and I look forward to seeing great crowds all season.

Welcome to the 2016 UConn Football season here at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field. The support that UConn Nation gives our Husky Football family is incredible and we feel it growing every day. Our student-athletes, coaches and staff are dedicated to making our program one that our fans in Connecticut and around the country are proud of on the field, in the classroom and in the community. The support from our fans is a critical component to the success of our football team. Our players and coaches feed off the energy of the crowd and it helps us perform at a high level. We have a fantastic home schedule this season, which I know all of you have been looking forward to since the end of last season. I am excited and honored to be the head coach of the UConn Football team and a part of this great University. Please, enjoy the tailgating, come to the Husky Walk and make sure you are in your seat cheering loud in time for kickoff. We look forward to seeing you all at the end of the game as we join together to sing and cheer in another Husky victory!
