Zach Frazer News

Quarterback Zach Frazer runs with the ball against Rutgers on Oct. 31. Frazer will be the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season after Cody Endres had season-ending shoulder surgery last week.

A long, emotional and frustrating Saturday night had actually turned into Sunday morning when coach Randy Edsall emerged from UConn's locker room just past midnight and tried to give his take on the Huskies' 47-45 loss to fourth-ranked Cincinnati.

When UC took a 20 point lead over the University of Connecticut Huskies Saturday night, Brian Kelly said he was tempted to put Tony Pike in for a series to knock off the rust.

Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly has long expressed his admiration for the work Randy Edsall has done coaching at UConn, and the Husky head man has echoed that praise for his counterpart.

But he was hot in the second half against Rutgers last week, leading the Huskies on two scoring drives in a 28-24 loss.

UConn quarterback Cody Endres is done for the year with an injury to his left shoulder sustained on the Huskies' third series of the game Saturday.

UConn Coach Randy Edsall just wrapped up his teleconference with state media heading into the game at No.4 Cincinnati.

The fourth-ranked Cincinnati Bearcats kick off a crucial three-game homestand this weekend, as they host the Connecticut Huskies in Big East play at Nippert Stadium.

On a day Connecticut honored slain teammate Jasper Howard, one of his best friends won the game for Rutgers.

Chance at No.4 team on ABC. - Mardy Gilyard as good a receiver the Huskies will see - Edsall doesn't expect to see Tony Pike at quarterback - Zach Collaros is a running QB - Energy level on the team is high right now - Has told team its good enough to beat anybody left on schedule but there is no margin of error.

Connecticut quarterback Cody Endres was scheduled to have season-ending surgery on his non-throwing shoulder Sunday morning, coach Randy Edsall said after UConn's 28-24 loss to Rutgers on Saturday.

First, Robbie Frey has a torn left labrum and is out for the year. UConn Coach Randy Edsall said no surgery has been scheduled yet.

Tim Brown scored on an 81-yard touchdown pass with 22 seconds left to give Rutgers an improbable 28-24 win over Connecticut , handing the Huskies their second straight emotional defeat following the death of cornerback Jasper Howard.

I would have never imagined Rutgers having 21 points on the board at halftime - and UConn only having 10.

Maybe it's a case of reading into things too much. But it's worth mentioning that Andre Dixon and Kashif Moore had a look of determination as they left New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in North Miami Monday afternoon.

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

With heavy hearts, the Connecticut Huskies will take the field this weekend against the 22nd-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers in Morgantown.

College football is a great game filled with great stats, but a lot of them are rendered useless when you see one like this.

On the surface, the words don't mean much. Mentioning a team does not have a go-to receiver.

Andre Dixon , tireless runner, inexhaustible fireball, is Marcus Easley's roommate and confidant.
