head coach: Syracuse – Dino Babers (seventh year, 30-43) | UConn – Jim Mora (First Year, 1-1)

Trainer Bio: Mora joined the University of Washington football team as a defensive back and linebacker. He quickly switched to the NFL, where his father had trained with the Seattle Seahawks. The younger More started out with the San Diego Chargers as a defensive quality control coach before taking over as defensive backs coach. He then joined the New Orleans Saints as DBs coach before becoming defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers. Mora then became the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons for three seasons. He was only in charge for three seasons before being fired. Mora returned to coaching with the Seahawks as an assistant head coach before assuming managerial responsibilities for a season.

Mora found his greatest success as a head coach at UCLA, where he had two ten-win seasons in his first three years at the helm of the Bruins. However, Mora struggled later in his UCLA career and was fired midway through his sixth season. His return to coaching comes with UConn, where he spent time getting to know his team as an offensive assistant late last season before taking the reins of the job full-time this season.

Last year: UConn continued their recent struggles with double-digit losses for the third consecutive season. The only win for the Huskies came at home against Yale in October.

Last game: The Huskies won 28-3 against FCS opponents Central Connecticut. Quarterback Zion Turner made his first career start, throwing for 172 yards to win. Original starter Ta’Quan Roberson was injured early in UConn’s first match against Utah State, forcing Turner to act

If Syracuse loses: We’re still not going back to football in the big East.

fun fact: Syracuse only has one try out of five when it plays UConn in Connecticut. This game was the last competition at UConn in 2016, a 31-24 Orange win.
