Editor's note: This is the second in a two-part series on former Syracuse assistant Randy Edsall, who is returning to the Carrier Dome this weekend as the head coach of Connecticut. Edsall played quarterback for Syracuse from 1976-79 before transitioning into a coaching role under Frank Maloney and Dick MacPherson from 1980-90.
