A fun part of life as an independent football program is the freedom to schedule 12 games each year against a revolving door of opponents, mixing regional rivals with far-flung teams that bring novelty interest. UConn athletic director David Benedict has done a good job of this, as the 2023 football schedule is complete with the announcement of a new series with UMass.
