Robert Vaughn News

Four UConn seniors to play in postseason All-Star games UConn said in a press release.

It will be the first class in the 100-plus years of UConn football to play in three consecutive bowl games.

Q: Dez, great job you do. Wanted to ask, what happened to Robert Vaughn? Noticed he wasn't out there late and USF was picking on Bagsby who couldn't tackle, cover or take the correct angles.

The seniors will be honored before the game Saturday night. A look at those who have had an impact on the field: Desi Cullen , punter: A semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award , Cullen, also a co-captain, entered the year as the school's all-time leading punter with a 43.8-yard average.

The Huskies put up a season-high 56 points. That led to their sixth win of the season, which means the UConn football program is bowl eligible for the third consecutive year.

A day after allowing 711 yards, 21 shy of the school-record Delaware compiled in 1998, UConn coach Randy Edsall wasn't ready to single out his defense as the crux of the Huskies' problems.

Defense be damned. Two teams named UC with two quarterbacks named Zach, one of which got a big lift from a running back named Jordan, wanted to have a shootout.

Say this much for the UConn defense. It didn't wait until the fourth quarter to collapse this time.

There are few instances in American society where 100,000 diverse people can come together for a few hours with the same goals in mind.

In five previous meetings with West Virginia, UConn was outscored, 214-77. Meeting No.

It matters little when its overall record is tabulated, but the UConn football team has given a few very good efforts this season that haven't turned into wins.

Noel Devine's 56-yard touchdown run in the closing minutes lifted No. 22 West Virginia to a 28-24 win over Connecticut on Saturday in the Huskies' first game since the fatal stabbing of cornerback Jasper Howard.

In this Oct. 4, 2008 file photo, Connecticut's Jasper Howard falls during a NCAA college football football game in Chapel Hill, N.C. Howard, of Miami, died following a stabbing on the University of Connecticut campus early Sunday, Oct.

The University of Connecticut declared an "emergency condition" this morning following the stabbing death Saturday night of a starting player on the school's football team .

UConn football coach Randy Edsall didn't mince words. He wants defensive end Lindsey Witten to start living up to his potential.

Connecticut coach Randy Edsall is looking for someone, anyone, to step up and make a big play for the Huskies in the fourth quarter.

Offense: Running backs Andre Dixon and Jordan Todman will lead UConn on offense against the Cardinals.

Take away the 11 points Pittsburgh scored in the fourth quarter and the 12 fourth-quarter points North Carolina scored and you're looking at a 5-0 UConn football team today, folks.

UConn free safety Robert Vaughn was named Big East Conference Defensive Player of the Week on Monday.

Pittsburgh - It's not like UConn stopped playing. It just seemed that way. The Huskies, nearly flawless in building a 15-point lead late into the third quarter, had a meltdown for the ages Saturday - particularly on defense.
