If Noel Devine hasn’t yet considered running for Homecoming king at WVU next year, perhaps he should. For the second consecutive season, the running back was the hero of Homecoming weekend in Morgantown, this time running 56 yards for a touchdown in the final minutes to give his team a 28-24 win over UConn.   Full Story

IrishEyes previews the Boston College defensive personnel, a group paced by a pair of physical safeties, undersized defensive ends, and a true freshman tackle-leader on the weak side.   Full Story

While his team is only days away from an important Big East home game, WVU head coach Bill Stewart is handling several situations that have little bearing on the Xs and Os.   Full Story

With Jarrett Brown sidelined for practice on Sunday and facing the possibility of not being able to play this week against Connecticut, WVU’s head coach is working on plans B, C and D at the quarterback spot.   Full Story

While his team’s 24-7 win over Marshall wasn’t even 24 hours behind him and he may not have his starting quarterback when his team returns to Big East Conference play this weekend, Bill Stewart’s thoughts weren’t on the Xs and Os early Sunday.    Full Story

UConn wide receiver Michael Smith comes from about as far away from Connecticut as you can, Houston, Texas, but that hasn’t hindered him from making himself at home at Rentschler field. Smith, one of just two true freshmen to see playing time for the Huskies last season, was dominant in his performance over Rhode Island; tallying eight catches for 82 yards.    Full Story

When head coach Randy Edsall came to UConn in the fall of 1998 he had no idea he’d be sticking around for 11 years. With Saturday’s game under his belt Edsall will become UConn’s longest tenured football coach, passing J.O. Christian with 122 games at the helm of the Huskies. Edsall’s 60 wins are just six shy of the program record and his 11 years at UConn are tied for ninth longest in the FBS.   Full Story

EAST HARTFORD – UConn coach Randy Edsall walked into the locker room and didn’t try and inspire his team by yelling at them. This wasn’t the time for chew people out. This was a time to cheer people up. Football seasons can be fragile and turn on a dime. In the fourth quarter of the Huskies’ game against North Carolina, it turned badly in a big way.    Full Story

The last time the UConn football team played North Carolina it was a nightmare. Zach Frazer was making his first career start and had three interceptions, including one for a touchdown. The Huskies also committed 11 penalties. That wasn’t the worst of it. North Carolina linebacker Bruce Carter blocked three kicks and the Huskies went on to a demoralizing 38-12 loss.    Full Story

The contact period began for the Class of 2011 on Tuesday, so what better time to introduce you to the first edition of the Scout 100 for the Class of 2011.   Full Story

STORRS – It has been a long wait for Zach Frazer. The junior quarterback from Mechanicsburg, Pa. was one of the most heralded quarterback recruits in the country coming out of high school and spent one season at Notre Dame. He transferred to UConn after a season in South Bend sitting out a season and sat out another year as an understudy a year ago to Tyler Lorenzen.   Full Story

With kickoff for the 2009 season a matter of hours away, let's take a revised look at the recruiting rankings for the Class of 2009 based on who reported to campus after attrition has taken its toll.   Full Story

STORRS – It has taken a little while for Kendall Reyes to get used to the ringing in his ears. That is perhaps the biggest adjustment the sophomore defensive tackle had to make when he moved to the interior of the line.   Full Story

Jimmy Bennett knows his time is coming. The 6-foot-8 tackle out of Alexandria, Va. was a sought after recruit that UConn desperately needed to reel in. He has no experience playing in college, but he has spent much of camp locked in a heated battle with senior Dan Ryan (6-7, 316 pounds), a veteran starter and backup who has been in and out of the lineup since he was a redshirt freshman.    Full Story

STORRS – Dwayne Difton didn’t come to the University of Connecticut to just fit in. Difton, a 5-foot-11 175 pound receiver from Ft. Lauderdale, came to Storrs to be a difference maker.   Full Story

The August edition of the Scout 300 marks the end of the junior evaluation of the Class of 2010.

See how the Class of 2010 stacks up in the Scout 300.   Full Story

STORRS -- It may have been the nicest day of the year in New England, it was far from a day at the beach at the opening practice of fall camp for the UConn football team.   Full Story

For many high school football prospects, the recruiting process begins in the summer before their senior season. They hit the road attending as many camps as they can and work out for all the programs that have shown interest. One such example is Rhode Island native Jean-Dean Roussel.   Full Story

The Arizona Cardinals benefited from an almost ideal situation on Saturday when Ohio St RB Chris Wells slid to pick No. 31. Meanwhile in Round 2, the Cardinals found a pass-rushing specialist in Connecticut LB Cody Brown. Arizona managed to address two immediate needs while selecting the best player available and has momentum heading into the second day of the draft.   Full Story

The Arizona Cardinals selected sack-machine DE/OLB Cody Brown out of Connecticut with their second-round pick. Brown will bring youth to an aging defensive front-seven.   Full Story
