Maybe not impressive to you
But having that  kind of record in a then power conference puts them in the upper percentile of all power conference teams . There are really only 1/2 of the approx 60 programs  who are consistently better .. Those are our only years in what is now FSB football conference as we were a good  1AA  team prior . We also had a couple decent transition years 6-6 and 9-3 as an Indy FSB school. Two close loses and we got bashed by a led Vick VaTech team .
Even that 6-6 team finished with a Rout of Navy 38-0 and a win at a bowl eligible Iowa State . 34-21
That’s 9 years  of success and we were relegated ,we thought , unfairly.
It’s pretty hard to remain competitive with a close to nothing media contract , playing schools we  had little or no history with  but to be fair we made some bad hires  . We point to those years as that was the window we were playing on a level playing field .You can write
off that conference but every member except us an USF are in P5 conference with programs whose ranks include 2-3 teams who were in lesser conferences then.
Thank you for your interest in UConn sports . I hope I have left you with more empathy for our fanbase
