UConn coach Bob Diaco responded Tuesday to a bit of a stir-causing tweet delivered from the football office Monday intimating that a rivalry between the Huskies and Central Florida, the two-time defending American Athletic Conference champions, was cemented with a trophy going to the winner.
Diaco is trying to create a rivalry, yet Central Florida had no involvement
"UCF did not have any involvement in the creation of a trophy or an annual rivalry game with UConn. We are excited to continue the series with the Huskies here in Orlando in October," UCF officials said in a statement.
