The Hoos next head to East Hartford, CT to face the Huskies (though the school is in Storrs, they play football about 25 miles away in East Hartford). Though the two teams haven’t played since 2008, Wahoo fans will see a lot of familiar faces on the Huskies’ sideline. Their coaching staff includes 4 former Virginia assistants, 2 of whom also suited up for the Hoos.
The Huskies head coach is Bob Diaco, who was LB coach and Special Teams Coordinator for 3 years under Al Groh. The Huskies Defensive Coordinator is Anthony Poindexter, who needs no introduction here.
