Just about six years ago (October 18, 2009), the UConn football program lost Jasper Howard when he was fatally stabbed at a party on campus in Storrs, CT.

Since his passing only a select few UConn football players have worn the same number #6 that Howard wore; Kashif Moore, Michael Smith and Jhavon Williams. Williams actually requested the #6 to show respect to Howard and his family when he got to UConn. He had originally wanted to wear #1.

Watch and/or listen below as Williams talks about what wearing #6 means to him.

The UConn football team has gone on the road twice this season and unfortunately came away with two losses.

In both of those games, it’s quite possible that the UConn football team could have come out of those games with victories.

The UConn football team had a chance to win against Missouri in their first road game. And last week, they were tied with BYU going into the 4th quarter but imploded and lost 30-13, a score not indicative of how the game went.

So despite the two losses, UConn football coach Bob Diaco will not and didn’t make any changes to the road routine entering Saturday’s game against the UCF Knights.

Watch and/or listen below as the UConn football head coach talks about the road routine.

With the non-conference portion of the schedule over, the UConn football team will now play their final seven games against American Athletic Conference opponents.

First up is the UCF Knights who have lost just two games in their first two seasons in the conference.

Watch and/or listen below as UConn football LB Graham Stewart and QB Bryant Shirreffs talk about being focused for the game against UCF.

Over the past three games, the UConn football team has had a chance to win against three great teams in Missouri, Navy, and BYU.

They just haven’t been able to take it to the next level. The UConn football team is close says head coach Bob Diaco.

So how do they get to that next level. Watch and/or listen below as the UConn football coach explains what it will take to get there.

Could this be the weekend against the UCF Knights that the UConn football team’s offense finally breaks out and puts up major points? Or will it be like the first five games where they’ve struggled to put points on the board?

If you talk to UConn football quarterback Bryant Shirreffs, it’s the former not the latter.

During Wednesday night’s episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, former UConn football and current New York Giants wide receiver Geremy Davis was part of the Fallon’s Superlatives portion of the show.

According to UConn football head coach Bob Diaco, love is the only emotion that lasts for an entire 60 minutes of a football game. And it’s that emotion that will win the game.

Watch and/or listen below as the UConn football coach talks about love winning games.

As we know, UConn football head coach Bob Diaco made waves across the nation when the official UConn football twitter account tweeted out a picture of “The Civil Conflict” trophy in June.

It was actually something Diaco had talked about in November after the UConn football team beat UCF.

Watch and/or listen below as the UConn football head coach talks about the new name of the trophy game “The conFLiCT” and what he was trying to do with it.
