Diaco joined the Notre Dame staff in 2010 as defensive coordinator and inside linebacker coach, took responsibility for the entire linebacker position in 2011 and added responsibilities as associate head coach in 2012. His 2012 Irish defense ranked among the top 10 in the Football Bowl Subdivision in 12 different categories as the school played in the BCS National Championship Game and posted an overall record of 12-1. Diaco has an impressive coaching resume as he served at Virginia (2006-08) as the linebackers and special teams coordinator and Cincinnati (2009) as the defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach before joining the Notre Dame staff. A native of Cedar Grove, N.J., and a 1995 Iowa graduate, Diaco began his coaching career in 1996-97 as a graduate assistant at his alma mater. He then served on the staffs of Western Illinois (1999-2000) as the special teams coordinator and running backs coach, Eastern Michigan (2001-2003) working with the same positions and Central Michigan (2005) as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.

2014 University of Connecticut Football Game Notes

Sept. 13 vs. Boise State Game Notes 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 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 38 games of the last three-plus seasons and has 210 career tackles, 15 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 22 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 23 games over the last three-plus seasons, and made three starts at linebacker last season. He has totaled 52 tackles in his career, with 20 already this 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 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 on Aug. 29 at Rentschler Field vs. BYU. Here’s a look at how other UConn coaches did in their Husky debuts – interim head coach T.J. Weist, 13-10 loss to South Florida, Oct. 12, 2013; Paul Pasqualoni, 34-3 win vs. Fordham, Sept. 3, 2011; Randy Edsall, 56-17 loss at Hofstra, Sept. 4, 1999; Skip Holtz, 17-6 loss vs. Nicholls State, Sept. 3, 1994; Tom Jackson, 22-5 loss at Rutgers, Sept. 10, 1983; Walt Nadzak, 49-0 loss at Lehigh, Sept. 10, 1977; Larry Naviaux, 22-20 loss vs. Lehigh, Sept. 15, 1973; Bob Casciola, 20-7 loss at Vermont; John Toner, 16-0 loss at Yale, Sept. 25, 1965; Rick Forzano, 21-6 loss at Yale, Sept. 26, 1964; Bob Ingalls, 34-13 loss at Yale, Sept. 20, 1952; Arthur Valpey, 25-0 loss at Yale, Sept. 23, 1950; J.O.

SEASON OPENERS UConn is now 9-4 in season openers since making the jump to then-Division I-A in 2002. UConn has won nine of its 12 season openers at Rentschler Field (2003-Indiana, 2004-Murray State, 2005-Buffalo, 2006-Rhode Island, 2008-Hofstra, 2010-Texas Southern, 2011-Fordham, 2012-UMass) and also downed Duke, 45-14, in Durham, to open the 2007 season and Ohio University, 23-16 in Athens, to open 2009. UConn’s four FBS era opening day losses were a 24-16 defeat at Boston College on Aug. 31, 2002 in UConn’s first game as an official member of the FBS, a 30-10 loss to Michigan on Sept. 4, 2010 a 33-18 loss to Towson loss last season and this year’s BYU game.

2014 University of Connecticut Football Game Notes

Sept. 13 vs. Boise State Game Notes OFFENSE NOTES THE QUARTERBACK SITUATION The University of Connecticut football program, the UConn Division of Athletics medical staff and the Cochran family have decided that redshirt sophomore quarterback Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) will permanently discontinue playing football due to Cochran sustaining multiple concussions during his career. All those involved in the decision making process feel it is in the best interest of Cochran to end his football playing career and focus on his continued well-being. This decision was announced on Monday, Sept. 8. “A silver lining in this matter is that Casey has an interest in pursuing a career in coaching,” said UConn head coach Bob Diaco. “We can now accelerate his development in that area as he transitions from a player role to a mentor role as he continues to serve the team.” Redshirt senior Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) originally was the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart, and he and sophomore Tim Boyle (Middlefield, Conn.) will now occupy the top two spots on the depth chart. Cochran, originally named the starter by Diaco on Aug. 18, started the opener vs. BYU and was 17 of 31 in the air for 171 yards and an interception. He did not play against Stony Brook due to his injury. Whitmer was eight of 17 for 113 yards against BYU, and started the win over Stony Brook. Against SBU, he was 12 of 27 in the air for 142 yards and a touchdown. He was also the Huskies leading rusher with 29 yards on 13 carries. The start was the 17th career one for Whitmer at UConn with all 12 games in 2012, four in 2013 and the Stony Brook game. He has thrown for 3,815 career yards as a Husky, eighth in program history, and 15 touchdowns. Boyle has made four career starts, tossing for 810 yards in those contests in 2013. UConn’s fourth quarterback is 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. 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.

Here’s a summary: 11th in career total offense with 3,529 yards; tied for eighth in career pass completions with 299; 11th in career passing attempts with 534; eighth in career passing yards with 3,815; fourth in career yards per game with 211.9; and fourth in career yards per attempt with 7.14. His 361 pass attempts in 2012 were sixth in single-season history and his 208 completions were seventh while his 2,664 passing yards were fifth. DAVIS CLIMBING THE LADDER TOO UConn senior wide receiver Geremy Davis has 13 receptions for 209 yards this season with seven receptions for 96 yards vs. BYU and six receptions for 113 yards against Stony Brook. He has made a reception in 28-straight games, dating back to the 2011 season, the ninth-longest such streak in the country. He is eighth in career receptions with 134 while Carl Bond is seventh with 145 from 1995-98. Davis is seventh in career receiving yards with 1,980 while David Dunn (1985-97) is sixth with 2,285. Davis’ 71 receptions last year were fifth in single-season history while his 1,085 yards were sixth. Davis is tied for third in the American Athletic Conference in receptions per game with 6.5 and third in reception yards per game at 104.5 – which is 23rd nationally. Davis was named to the league’s weekly Honor Roll on Sept. 8. Davis had six receptions for 113 yards and a touchdown in the win on Sept. 6 for an average of 18.3 yards per reception.

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. In the win over Stony Brook, Vann tied for the team lead in tackles with nine and added 1.5 tackles for loss Stewart had seven tackles while Ashiru had two. SEASONED SECONDARY All four of UConn’s starters in the secondary have started both games this year and 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 38 contests during his UConn career. The other cornerback is redshirt sophomore Jhavon Williams (Delray Beach, Fla.), who made five starts in his 10 appearances last season. 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. Melifon-

wu finished second on the squad with 70 tackles and added two interceptions and two forced fumbles. He tied for the UConn lead with nine tackles against Stony Brook. Redshirt junior Andrew Adams (Fayetteville, Ga.) takes the other safety spot and has played in 22 games over the last two-plus years – including both this year. Adams had eight tackles in the BYU game and notched seven more against Stony Brook. ON THE NOSE Redshirt junior Julian Campenni (West Pittston, Pa.) and redshirt freshman Mikal Myers (Newburgh, N.Y.) are splitting time at nose guard this season, and had a dominant performance against the Stony Brook front on Sept. 6. Campenni tied a career-high with six tackles, making 1.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage. Myers set a new career-high with four tackles, including 2.0 tackles for loss and his first career sack.

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES FOXX HONORED BY CONFERENCE Senior Deshon Foxx (Lynchburg, Va.) was named the American Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week on Monday for his performance in UConn’s win over Stony Brook on Sept. 6. Foxx finished with 91 all-purpose yards and scored what proved to be the decisive points in the win. Foxx had a 72-yard punt return for a touchdown in the third quarter to put the Huskies ahead 19-10. He finished the game with 85 yards on three punt returns and added a six-yard reception. Foxx ranks 14th nationally in punt return average (14.0) through two weeks of the season. 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. Against Stony Brook, he hit on field goals of 42 and 27 yards, but did have an extra point blocked. Redshirt sophomore Justin Wain (Wilmington, N.C.) is now the starting punter and the BYU contest was his first game action. Wain has 13 punts this season for an average of 39.9 yards per boot. Seven of his 13 punts have been inside the opponents 20yard line – including six of his nine vs. Stony Brook on Saturday. 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.

2014 University of Connecticut Football Game Notes

Sept. 13 vs. Boise State Game Notes THE RETURN GAME Foxx’s punt return for a TD against Stony Brook was the first for UConn since Nick Williams had an 80-yarder vs. Pittsburgh on Nov. 9, 2012 at Rentschler Field. Foxx has also been part of the rotation for kickoff returns for the Huskies and has three for 48 yards this year. Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn.) leads the Huskies in that category with four returns for 89 yards with a long of 34.

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 49-25 at Rentschler Field and a 27-12 mark in non-conference games. UConn has played to 88.9-pct. of capacity all-time there, drawing 2,632,768 fans, or an average of 35,577 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.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. - BYU junior quarterback Taysom Hill threw for three touchdown passes and ran for another two as the Cougars defeated the University of Connecticut football team in the 2014 opener for both teams. 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.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. - University of Connecticut senior wide receiver Deshon Foxx (Lynchburg, Va.) had a 72-yard punt return a touchdown in the third quarter to help lead the Husky football team to a 19-16 win over Stony Brook on Saturday at Rentschler Field before a crowd of 23,543. The win improves UConn to 1-1 on the season and gives Husky head coach Bob Diaco his first career college head coaching win. Stony Brook falls to 0-2 on the season. UConn redshirt senior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) caught six passes for 113 yards and a 30-yard touchdown and moved into seventh place on the Huskies all-time receiving list with 1,980 career yards. “It took us 10 weeks last year just to get one win,” Davis said. “A win is a win. These guys fought hard -- defense, offense and special teams.” The Seawolves, from the powerful Colonial Athletic Association, led much of the first half and trailed just 12-10 at halftime. Foxx gave UConn a 19-10 lead in the third quarter when he grabbed a 61-yard Luke Allen punt that had bounced over his head, turned left, then reversed field and found a seam down the middle. “He definitely outkicked his coverage,” Foxx. “I got a lucky bounce and when I was turning around I noticed that I had a whole lot of field to work with, so I just did what I can do and I had great blockers.” Stony Brook, which outgained UConn 300 yards to 223, put together a 14play, 88-yard drive in the fourth quarter, capped by a 14-yard touchdown pass from Conor Bednarski to Will Tye. The Seawolves failed to recover an onside kick and could not move the ball after getting in back in the final minute deep in their own territory. UConn opened the game with a five-play, 40-yard drive that ended with a 42-yard field goal from redshirt sophomore Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.), who added a 27-yarder in the second quarter. Stony Brook took a 7-3 first-quarter lead after a punt pinned UConn on its own one-yard line. Safety Max Martinez then stripped the ball and Naim Cheeseboro recovered in the end zone. The Seawolves added another field goal late in the quarter after a UConn fumble, giving Stony Brook the ball at the Husky 20-yard line The Huskies had just 63 yards of offense before putting together a 70-yard drive late in the second quarter that put UConn up to stay. Redshirt senior quarterback Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) found Davis in the right corner of the end zone for a 30-yard touchdown pass. The extra point was blocked. Whitmer completed 12 of 27 passes for 142 yards. He also was the Huskies leading rusher with 52 yards on 13 carries. UConn was also helped by its kicking game. Puyol’s first field goal was the longest of his career and redshirt freshman punter Justin Wain (Wilmington, N.C.) averaged 41.8 yards on nine punts. Stony Brook was forced to start six second-half drives inside its own 20-yard line. “The team today showed a lot of grit and grind,” said Diaco. “Our brotherhood shined through. Our culture shined through.”
