It's been quite the journey for Torrington's Chris DeBerry, a former walk-on who was put on scholarship for his senior year. I just happened to took a look at UConn's staff directory and DeBerry is listed as one of the four graduate assistants with the football program.

David DeBoer, Nick Lezynski and Tyler Stockton are set to return for the second seasons as grad assistants while DeBerry should be replacing Josh Zidenberg who is now the assistant secondary coach and special teams co-coordinator at Virginia Military Institute.

I never got around to reporting this, but the Sept. 12 home game against Army is slated for a noon kickoff and will air on CBS Sports Network. That means that the kickoff times for four of the first five games as well as the Oct. 30 home game against East Carolina have been announced.

The season opener against Villanova on Sept. 3 will start at 7:30 p.m. and will be shown on SNY. ESPNU will show the Sept. 19 game at Missouri that will kick off at noon, the Oct. 2 contest at BYU will begin at 10:15 p.m. and air on ESPN2 and ESPNU will televise the 7 p.m. East Carolina game on Oct. 30.
