Why Former Syracuse Football Coach Could Be Huge Factor vs. UConn

Following a fifteen day break, the Syracuse football program holds a one-win and two-loss record ahead of an upcoming Saturday matchup against the two-win and two-loss Connecticut squad. Last season, the Orange defeated their opponents twenty-seven to twenty inside the JMA Wireless Dome.

This fixture features extensive coaching and roster ties, highlighted by Connecticut offensive coordinator Nunzio Campanile facing his former team. Campanile previously spent time on the Syracuse staff and worked closely alongside projected Orange starting quarterback Steve Angeli, giving the visiting defense potential schematic insight.

Additional staff crossovers connect both programs as the weekend contest approaches. Syracuse defensive coordinator Vince Kehres previously worked under current Connecticut head coach Jason Candle during their tenure together at Toledo.

These overlapping histories provide both sides with familiar tactical awareness as the Huskies attempt to bounce back from a recent three-point defeat against Miami of Ohio.
