As part of the culture change around the UConn Huskies football program, which I’ll have more on on Friday morning, head coach Bob Diaco has the players staying on campus the night before a home game in East Hartford, CT.
Usually the team bussed into Hartford the night before a game. But that’s now a thing of the past.
Another thing Diaco has introduced is having a pep rally the night before each home game.
And while Thursday night was the first one, about a 1,000 fans, mostly students, showed up to Fairfield Way on campus in Storrs to listen to Diaco, WR Geremy Davis and LB Marquise Vann speak and pump everyone up for Friday night’s game against BYU.
editor’s note: I apologize for the shakiness of the video. I was trying to shoot photos in a few spots.
