UConn Football: Randy Edsall Remains Dedicated To the Huskies

One thing that remains the same in UConn Country is Randy Edsall's dedication and commitment to making UConn football a big-time program.  This is the year that Edsall has his team ready to make that leap.

There are a few items that Coach Edsall is yet to accomplish here at Storrs. 

First and foremost UConn has never beaten West Virginia.

What better way than getting them at home on October 29 a Thursday night.  This is a game that all UConn fans should have circled on the calendar.

UConn has never won a Big East title outright. In 2007 they were co-champions and lost in the Meinke Car Care Bowl. 

The way the schedule sets up, they have the three toughest conference teams at home.

Pittsburgh, West Virginia, and Cincinnati all come to The Rent.  UConn has always been a strong home team. If they continue that trend this season it could be a memorable year for this football program.

What remains constant through all of this is Randy Edsall. 

He is one of the longest tenured coaches in all of College Football and is proud of that fact. There hasn't been a program that has put up an offer to tempt Edsall to leave.

Not his alma mater Syracuse or Georgia Tech.  Big time schools who put all their emphasis on winning.

Last year's fatal stabbing death of Jasper Howard really brought this team together as a family.  Edsall said his team was always close but this tragic event formed an unbreakable bond.

UConn finished the season riding a four-game winning streak. 

It is going to need that success and be able to pull out the close games that matter when the goal is to win the Big East and go to a Bowl Championship Series game.

Edsall and the Huskies are currently ranked in various college previews as a Top 25 team headed into the beginning of the season. 

UConn has only been ranked a couple of times in the history of the program, but Edsall believes this team could continue winning building its resume in the ranks of College Football.

Opening the season at Ann Arbor against Michigan will give UConn another opportunity to prove why it deserves to be part of the Top 25.

Edsall would love to beat his friend and former rival Rich Rodriguez.  He never did while Rich Rod was at West Virginia and that would send a message to all of their competitors in the Big East Conference.

There's no doubt in my mind that Randy Edsall puts everything he has each and every day into this UConn team.  He strives for greatness and wants nothing more then to see his team succeed.

As he stands tall with a core group of players returning, this team expects to win.  The goals have to be set high, higher than they have ever been set before.

Randy Edsall realizes the potential the 2010 UConn football team has. 

Now is the time that all the preparation and work is needed to pay off come September.
