10 Days Until Kickoff

Yale’s first opponent, Holy Cross, defeated UCONN over the weekend 38-28 prompting UCONN’s Head Coach, Randy Edsall, to step down from his position immediately.  At this point, it seems destined that UCONN will either drop down to the FCS ranks or eliminate the football program altogether at the conclusion of the season given the lack of recent success and annual monetary losses in the millions.  The Holy Cross game is starting to look much more difficult on paper, while playing UCONN after Dartmouth will still be a tough matchup especially if UCONN’s interim coach is able to correct errors and boost morale over the coming weeks.

In NFL news, former Bulldog Dieter Eiselen was cut from the Bears 53-man active roster, but was signed to the practice squad for the second year in a row.  Jaeden Graham remains on the Falcons roster, however he is currently on injured reserve after injuring his knee in training camp.  Graham’s teammate, Foye Oluokun, will lead the Falcons defense in 2021 as he transitions from outside linebacker to middle linebacker.  Oluokun is viewed around the league as a rising star that was the lone bright spot of an otherwise underperforming defense in 2020.
