UConn football once again has a 12-game football schedule, as the American Conference rescheduled the Huskies’ canceled game against USF to Nov. 4 at Rentschler Field.
The Huskies were scheduled to host the East Carolina Pirates, but that game has been scheduled to Sunday, Sep. 24. Yes, Sunday.
Rentschler Field is already booked for a NYCFC game on Saturday, meaning Sunday was the only realistic option to play. Thursday games are always tough, while Friday night would not have given much time for the field to be converted to soccer.
This change has the fingerprints of athletic director Dave Benedict all over it.
