After winning nine games for the first time since 2007 and just the third time in program history, UConn has buzz like it hasn’t had since those early 2000’s. Jim Mora and the Huskies earned a second bowl berth in three years and the program’s first bowl win since 2009. Most of the success this season can be attributed to how good UConn was at home.

What a wild year it was for New England college football. Starting this week back in 2024, things got a bit crazy with the hiring of Bill O’Brien, the departure of Bob Chesney to James Madison, the switching from Merrimack to Holy Cross by Dan Curran and the retirement of a legend Tim Murphy over at Harvard.
