RENTSCHLER GAMEDAY/FAN ACTIVITIES There will be a number of new fan experiences for UConn football games this season: • There is a new route for the Husky Walk as the team arrives for games at Rentschler Field this year and fans get a chance to greet the team as they get off their buses and make their way to the stadium. The Husky walk, which takes place approximately, two hours and 15 minutes before kickoff, now starts in the Gray Parking Lots and the team will makes its way to the large tunnel near Gate B. • The UConn team now does its pregame warmup in front of the UConn student section on the South End of the stadium – a change from previous 2014 University of Connecticut Football Game Notes Sept. 6 vs. Stony Brook Game Notes seasons. The Huskies will enter the stadium for pregame warmups on the concourse of Rentschler Field and go through the student section. • The break between the third and fourth quarter features “Coach D’s Playlist” as fans during the game will get to guess which song will be played from a collection of Diaco’s favorites based on a list shown earlier in the game. The choice for the BYU game was “This Is How We Roll (Remix)” by Florida Georgia Line and Jason Derulo. • The team and staff sings the “UConn Husky” fight song in front of the student section along with the UConn Marching Band following each game. • Once again, FanFest takes place starting four hours before kickoff up until 30 minutes before the game between Gates A and B outside the stadium gates. The offerings change each game, but activities typically include inflatable games for children, live bands, promotional vehicles and UConn studentathletes from various teams signing autographs. SQUAD NOTES LOTS OF HUSKY PUPS SEE FIRST ACTION The Huskies played a total of 57 players against BYU and 19 of them (33.3%) where making their first collegiate appearance. Among the highlights were redshirt freshman Josh Marriner (Chesapeake, Va.) rushing for UConn’s lone touchdown of the night; freshman Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn.) making an 18-yard reception the first quarter; redshirt sophomore punter Justin Wain (Wilmington, N.C.) averaging 35.8 yards on four punts; redshirt freshman Tommy Myers (Coventry, Conn.) making his first career reception in the third quarter; redshirt freshman linebacker Cameron Stapleton (Staten Island, N.Y.) combining on a second-quarter sack; freshman tight end Alec Bloom (Ligonier, Pa.) having two receptions for 24 yards. Other Huskies making their collegiate debuts: redshirt sophomore C Kyle Bockeloh (Houston, Texas), freshman LB Luke Carrezola (Langhorne, Pa.), freshman OL Ryan Crozier (Plantation, Fla.), senior DB Chris DeBerry (Torrington, Conn.), freshman LB Vontae Diggs (Downers Grove, Ill.), redshirt freshman H Blake Feagles (Ridgewood, N.J.), redshirt freshman DL Foley Fatukasi (Far Rockaway, N.Y.), redshirt freshman OL Tommy Hopkins (Hawthorne, N.Y.), redshirt freshman LB Junior Joseph (Sinking Springs, Pa.), freshman TB Ron Johnson (Naples, Fla.), redshirt freshman LB Cole Ormsby (Windsor, Conn.), freshman OL Trey Rutherford (Markham, Ont.) and freshman CB Jamar Summers (East Orange, N.J.). THE HUSKY CAPTAINS Redshirt senior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.), redshirt senior cornerback Byron Jones (New Britain, Conn.), redshirt senior center Alex Mateas (Ottawa, Ontario) and redshirt junior linebacker Marquise Vann (Cincinnati, Ohio) will captain the Huskies for the 2014 season. The captains were decided by a team vote. Davis is coming off one of the most prolific seasons for a receiver in program history, hauling in 71 receptions for 1,085 yards in 2013. He became the first receiver in UConn’s FBS era to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards and added three touchdowns. His finest performance came on a record-setting day against Memphis at Rentschler Field on Dec. 6. In a 45-10 win, Davis recorded 15 receptions for 207 yards and a touchdown. The 15 catches are a single-game program record, and the 207 yards rank fifth-most in a game in UConn history. The 6-3 receiver was named to Biletnikoff Award Watch List in July.

Walker, QB, Temple Sherman Badie, RB, Tulane Diaco on Davis: “Geremy Davis is big and strong and has an incredible catch radius. He gets open with body control and body position. He’s an explosive player and he’s a big player. Off the field, he’s kind and a person with incredibly high character and a very good man. He’s a college graduate and an incredible 2014 University of Connecticut Football Game Notes 3 Sept. 6 vs. Stony Brook Game Notes ambassador for the University.” Jones is a three-year starter in the secondary, starting all 12 games at cornerback last year after starting at safety in 2011 and 2012. Last year, he led the Huskies with three interceptions and finished tied for third on the squad with 60 total tackles. Jones has played in all 37 games of the last three-plus seasons and has 204 career tackles, 14 pass break-ups and six interceptions. Diaco on Jones: “Byron Jones is intangibly a gifted player. He possesses the speed both short and long. He has both vertical explosiveness and vertical quickness of an elite small-bodied corner, but he’s really big. So he moves like a little guy, but he’s six-foot. He’s a B-plus student in one of the more hard and challenging curriculums that we have at this top 20 public university in the country. He’s a great community guy and great person. He’s so charismatic and commutative and pensive. I’ve joked I could see him be the governor of the state. He’s that special.” UConn’s most experienced returner on the offensive line, Mateas started all 12 games at center in 2013 and has played in 21 overall games over the last two-plus seasons. He was named to the Rimington Award Spring Watch List in May. Diaco on Mateas: “Alex Mateas has built himself into a player. He’s worked on his body. He’s always been athletic, with his soccer background. He was a competitive soccer play as a youngster. We see him as one of our ‘key’ starters. I know I have used that term a little bit. He’s another guy that is very helpful and a demonstrative communicator. He doesn’t mind snatching a guy up and he leads from the front so he’s got his teammates respect.” Vann has played in 21 games over the last three-plus seasons, and made three starts at linebacker last season. He has totaled 32 tackles in his career, including a career-high five stops against No. 18 Louisville last season. Vann made a splash playing in his hometown last year when he returned a fumble 40 yards for a touchdown in an Oct. 19 contest at Cincinnati. Diaco on Vann: “As a younger guy, but so mature, he’s got a different kind of way about him from the others. He’s not necessarily a rah-rah cheerleader type of guy, but he is vocal and demonstrative. He’s a really good person and very kind, but he also can flip the switch on the field. He can live in the two worlds pretty well. It’s a prerequisite and critical as an inside linebacker. He can be an enforcer and conduct his business that way. He’s not afraid to impose his will on players that need help.” HEY, THIS PLACE LOOKS FAMILIAR Despite UConn having virtually an entire new staff this year, seven of the Huskies’ full-time coaches had previously worked games at Rentschler Field before this season. Head coach Bob Diaco, defensive coordinator Anthony Poindexter and assistant coach Wayne Lineburg were on the Virginia staff for a 45-10 Husky win on Sept. 13, 2008; Assistant head coach Don Patterson was on the Buffalo staff for a 24-17 UConn win on Sept. 29, 2012; Offensive coordinator Mike Cummings was on the Western Michigan staff for a 41-27 UConn win on Nov. 1, 2003; Assistant coach Kevin Wolthausen was on the Louisville staff for a 30-20 UConn loss on Dec. 3, 2005. Wolthausen was also on the staff of the Las Vegas Locomotives when it played 4 the Hartford Colonials in the United Football League on Nov. 20, 2010. UConn assistant coach Mike Foley is the lone holdover on the staff and is entering his ninth season. HEAD COACHING DEBUTS Bob Diaco made his debut as the Husky head coach last Friday at Rentschler Field vs. BYU.

NON-CONFERENCE FOES SINCE 2002 Connecticut boasts a 45-27 record against non-conference opponents in the regular season since making the move to the FBS in 2002. The Huskies have won 20 of their last 33 regular season non-league games overall. 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), 2-3 (2011), 3-2 (2012) and 0-4 (2013), 0-1 (2014). OFFENSE NOTES COCHRAN NAMED THE STARTER AT QB, WHITMER SECOND Diaco announced on Monday, August 18 that redshirt sophomore Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) would be the starting quarterback for the Husky football team as the 2014 season begins. Redshirt senior Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) will 2014 University of Connecticut Football Game Notes Sept. 6 vs. Stony Brook Game Notes serve as the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart. Cochran did start the opener vs. BYU and was 17 of 31 in the air for 171 yards and an interception. Whitmer was eight of 17 for 113 yards. “This was a long hard choice,” said Diaco of starting Cochran. “It was an incredible and fierce battle dating all the way back to winter conditioning. Winter conditioning went into the process of the evaluation. Spring football went into the process of the evaluation, summer conditioning and then camp. Nothing was left out. “Casey Cochran will be the starter for the fall 2014 and I say that specifically because I have said this before in the past in here. We have key starters, starters, key backups, backups and squad men. Those are our evaluation levels. We do not have a key starter at the quarterback position. We have a starter and a key backup. “By the staff’s estimate, and it was negligible in all categories, Casey has improved his physical traits to try to catch up to the physical traits of Chandler Whitmer. Chandler is still better in those areas. In terms of just being a player and what that means, you would have to give the edge to Chandler Whitmer. In the intangible area, leading, communicating, mobilizing energy, creating unit power and team power over the course of time, Casey Cochran has edged out Chandler in that area. It is an exceptional trait that Casey has, and through the work in Chandler’s life, in his maturity and his growth it has made that an intangible difference.” UConn’s other quarterbacks are sophomore Tim Boyle (Middlefield, Conn.), who started four games last year, and redshirt freshman Bryant Shirreffs (Jefferson City, Ga.). Shirreffs is a transfer from North Carolina State, who will sit out this season due to NCAA rules. Cochran played in eight games 2013, starting the final four and posting a 3-1 record. He finished the year 111-for-175 in the air with 1,293 yards and 11 touchdowns against four interceptions, adding a rushing touchdown as well. He set the UConn single-game record for passing yards with 461 against Memphis (Dec. 7). Cochran was 36-of-54 with four touchdowns in that game, finishing with the second-most completions and third-most attempts in a game in UConn history. Whitmer started all 12 games for UConn in 2012 and started the first four games of the 2013 season. He has thrown for 3,673 career yards as a Husky and 14 touchdowns. THREE FOR 300 Whitmer, Boyle and Cochran each started games last year and all three of them have had a game of 300 or more passing yards. Cochran set the school single-game record for passing yards with 461 against Memphis in the season finale and also had 311 vs. Rutgers, which is 32nd. Whitmer started the first four games of the season and passed for 349 yards vs. Maryland, which is the 12th highest in school single-game history. Whitmer also passed for 333 yards against Western Michigan in 2012 – which is 20th in school history.

DAVIS CLIMBING THE LADDER TOO UConn senior wide receiver Geremy Davis had seven receptions for 96 yards in the season-opener vs. BYU last Friday. He has made a reception in 27-straight games, dating back to the 2011 season, the ninth-longest such streak in the country. He is eighth in career receptions with 128 while Carl Bond is seventh with 145 from 1995-98. Davis is ninth in career receiving yards with 1,867 while Kashif Moore (2008-11) is eighth is 1,799. Davis’ 71 receptions last year were fifth in single-season history while his 1,085 yards were sixth. DEFENSE NOTES TACKLING MACHINES Each of UConn’s three starting linebackers for the BYU game recorded 11 tackles, which was a new career-high for every one of them. Redshirt junior Graham Stewart (Durham, Conn.) also added a tackle for loss and topped his previous personal best of eight stops, which came in the season opener last year against Towson. Jefferson Ashiru (Powder Springs, Ga.) factored into UConn’s lone sack in the BYU game and bested his previous career-high of 10 tackles in last year’s USF game. Marquise Vann (Cincinnati, Ohio) posted his 11 tackles after never previously notching more than five in a game in his career. SEASONED SECONDARY All four of UConn’s starters in the secondary last week vs. BYU had made multiple prior career starts to bring plenty of experience back to the unit. Jones leads the way at one of the cornerback spots, starting all 12 games a year ago and having played in all 37 contests (including the BYU game) during his UConn career. The other cornerback is redshirt sophomore Jhavon Williams (Wellington, Fla.), who made five starts in his 10 appearances last season and started the BYU game. At one safety spot, redshirt sophomore Obi Melifonwu (South Grafton, Mass.) started all 12 games in 2013 and earned national recognition, as he was named a Freshman All-America Honorable Mention by Scout.com. Melifonwu finished second on the squad with 70 tackles and added two interceptions and two forced fumbles. Redshirt junior Andrew Adams (Fayetteville, Ga.) takes the other safety spot and has played in 21 games over the last two-plus years – including the BYU game. Adams had eight tackles in the BYU game while Jones had five, Melifonwu three and Wiliams two. ON THE NOSE Redshirt junior Julian Campenni (West Pittston, Pa.) has cemented himself as the starting nose guard in Diaco and Poindexter’s multiple front defense. Campenni has started 14 games over the last two-plus years (including the BYU game) and has played in 23 overall contests at defensive tackle, but Diaco has sung his praises in his conversion to the nose tackle spot. Also returning as a starter on the defensive line is redshirt senior Angelo Pruitt (Cincinnati, Ohio), who has started 20 career contests on the defensive line and has 10 tackles for loss under his belt. 6 SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES NEW FACES IN KICK GAME UConn has a pair of new faces in both the kicking and punting department this season with the graduation of PK Chad Christen and P Cole Wagner. Wagner is second in UConn career punting average with 40.7 yards. Redshirt sophomore Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.) is now the starting kicker this season after redshirting in 2013. In 2012, he kicked in the season finale vs. Cincinnati and hit on the only FGA of his career – a 40-yarder. He also had two PATs. Puyol connected on a 35-yard field goal in the final quarter of the BYU and made his lone PAT. Redshirt sophomore Justin Wain (Wilmington, N.C.) is now the starting punter and the BYU contest was his first game action. Wain had four punts in the BYU game for a 35.8 yard average. Both Wain and Puyol were members of the 2013 American Athletic Conference All-Academic Team. Freshman Chase Briley (Hartford, Conn.), who played at Capital Prep High School, will be the backup at both kicker and punter. THE RETURN GAME Senior Deshon Foxx (Lynchburg, Va.) will be at both the punt and kickoff return spot. He entered the season with 26 career KO returns for 266 yards (19.0 average). On Friday night against BYU, he had three kickoff returns for 46 yards. Redshirt freshman Josh Marriner (Chesapeake, Va.) had one return for 17 yards while freshman Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn.) had a pair of KO returns for 49 yards, including a 34-yarder. Foxx had UConn’s only punt return of the game and it was for a negative yard. STADIUM/ATTENDANCE NOTES RENTSCHLER FIELD The Huskies moved into Rentschler Field in East Hartford for the 2003 season and UConn entered its 12th season of play there on Friday. 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. UConn has an all-time record of 48-25 at Rentschler Field and a 26-12 mark in non-conference games. UConn has played to 90.6-pct. of capacity all-time there, drawing 2,609,22 fans, or an average of 36,239 per game. UConn set a new all-time single-game attendance record at Rentschler Field on Sept. 21 against Michigan with a crowd of 42,704. That capacity was achieved with extra bleachers brought in for that game. 2014 University of Connecticut Football Game Notes Sept. 6 vs. Stony Brook Game Notes Tracking the Opponents BYU (1-0) This Week: at Texas Next Week: Houston Stony Brook (0-1) This Week: at UConn Next Week: American Int’l Boise State (0-1) This Week: Colorado State Next Week: at UConn USF (1-0) This Week: Maryland Next Week: NC State Temple (1-0) This Week: Navy Next Week: Idle Tulane (0-1) This Week: Georgia Tech Next Week: SE Louisiana East Carolina (1-0) This Week: at South Carolina Next Week: at Virginia Tech UCF (0-1) This Week: Idle Next Week: at Missouri Army (0-0) This Week: Buffalo Next Week: at Stanford Cincinnati (0-0) This Week: Idle Next Week: Toledo Memphis (1-0) This Week: at UCLA Next Week: Idle SMU (0-1) This Week: at North Texas Next Week: Idle Future UConn Non-Conference Games 2014: August 28, BYU; September 6, Stony Brook; September 13, Boise State; November 8, at Army (Yankee Stadium) 2015: September 5, Villanova; September 12, Army; October 2, at BYU 2016: September 17, Virginia 2017: September 9, Holy Cross; September 16, at Virginia 2018: September 8, at Boise State 2019: September 7, Illinois; September 21, at Indiana 2018: September 12, at Illinois; September 26, Indiana UConn and Tennessee have a two-game home-and-home series under contract with dates to be determined. 2014 University of Connecticut Football Game Notes 7 Sept. 6 vs. Stony Brook Game Notes Huskies in the Pros National Football League Player Pos.

The game was played before a crowd of 35,150 at Rentschler Field and was the debut for new UConn head coach Bob Diaco. Hill completed 28 of 36 passes to nine receivers without an interception. He went 17 of 20 to lead the Cougars to a 28-7 halftime advantage, and was BYU’s leading rusher with 97 yards on 12 carries. “He was resilient and methodical and 28 points in the first half was ideal and that was something I was hoping to see,” BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall said. The Cougars put up 513 yards of offense, 329 of that before intermission. Husky sophomore Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) and senior Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) split quarterback duties and threw for a combined 284 yards. Cochran was 17 of 31 for 171 yards. He also threw an interception on the Huskies’ second drive deep in BYU territory. Whitmer was eight of 17 for 113 yards. “That’s the point you’re at right now,” Diaco said, who played 50 players combined on offense and defense. “For the players to get better, they have to play in games.” BYU got off to a quick start as Hill, who last year ran for more than 1,300 yards and passed for just under 3,000, capped the Cougars’ opening 15play, 75-yard drive with a seven-yard run. He then found Mitch Mathews wide open over the middle from 26 yards out, after UConn fumbled on the Huskies’ first offensive play. Hill danced away from pressure late in the first half and found Terenn Houk open to his left for a 35-yard touchdown catch-and-run that made it 28-7 at the half. The quarterback capped the game with a 26-yard touchdown run to complete a 90-yard, fourth-quarter drive that sent the fans to the exits. Penalties slowed the game down as BYU committed 15 of them for 150 yards. UConn was flagged eight times for 90 yards. A fumble by BYU’s Mathews at midfield led to UConn’s only touchdown. Whitmer led the Huskies on a six-play drive that ended with freshman redshirt Josh Marriner (Chesapeake, Va.) scoring from a yard out in the second quarter. Redshirt sophomore Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.) made a 35yard field goal for UConn in the fourth quarter. The Huskies put together an 11-play drive to start the second half, but failed after faking a 40-yard field goal. UConn’s top receiver, senior Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.), finished with seven catches for 96 yards. He spent some time in the fourth quarter in the locker room, but returned before the end of the game.
