When many of them arrived four, five years ago, the idea of clinching bowl eligibility in their final game at Rentschler Field would have been a bit of a reach, not to mention that it was for the second time in three years. Five of the players recognized were starters on the team in 2021, when UConn lost its first home game by 10 points to Holy Cross, an FCS opponent. Randy Edsall was fired as head coach just a few days later. “I didn’t look too far in advance (as a freshman), but it makes sense now,” Dixon-Williams said. “I wanted to build a culture here and that’s what we’re doing… (The standard is) just not being average. We don’t want to do anything average here. Going 6-6, that’s just average to us, we want to do better than that. Make those six games eight, nine, 10 games winning. Just build a culture here and we want people to want to go to UConn because we’re a great football school, we’re more than just basketball, and we want to win here.” <- [/QUOTE]
