Football:
Established in 1896, the Connecticut Huskies football program has an overall record of 464-492-38 (.489) and a 2-1 postseason record. They boast 11 conference titles, their latest in 2007 when they were crowned co-champions of the Big East.
Coach Randy Epsall is entering his 11th year at the helm and has led the team to a 58-60 record. A protégé of Tom Coughlin, head coach of the NFL’s New York Giants, Epsall is responsible for the Huskies’ first division title ever in 2007.
There are 10 current players in the NFL that were former Huskies. This includes Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts), Darius Butler (New England Patriots) and Dan Orlovsky (Houston Texans).
The UConn Huskies are poised to have a successful season in 2008.
