LoVecchio out-dueled in debut; struggles in first half

By Gavin Lesnick · Monday, Sept. 1,2003 1:39 a.m.

East Hartford, Conn. -- Quarterback Matt LoVecchio probably didn't envision an IU debut quite like this. The junior, who sat out last season as a transfer from Notre Dame, struggled against UConn amid dropped passes, turnovers and a defense that limited him to only 28 yards passing in the first half of IU's 34-10 loss.

UConn hands IU tough loss

By John Rodgers · Monday, Sept. 1,2003 1:27 a.m.

East Hartford, Conn. -- Four years vs. 104. That's how long the University of Connecticut has been playing Division I-A football compared to IU's tenure in the Big Ten. But on Saturday, it seemed the opposite as UConn manhandled the Hoosiers offensively and defensively to claim a 34-10 rout in the opening of Rentschler Field. The much anticipated debut of junior quarterback Matt LoVecchio never got off the ground as two UConn offensive stars -- junior Dan Orlovsky and sophomore Terry Caulley -- stole the show. Orlovsky completed 26 of 42 passes for 307 yards while Caulley gained 170 yards on 22 carries. Coach Gerry DiNardo said he didn't expect the offense's inefficiency and IU's three fumbles that resulted in turnovers.

IU on cutting edge with state-of-the-art field surface

By Gavin Lesnick · Friday, Aug. 29,2003 1:53 a.m.

IU players still have bad memories of losing to Penn State late last season on a Memorial Stadium turf made more of sand than grass. "The turf got so bad last year, it was basically a beach in the middle of the field," senior safety and captain Joe Gonzalez said. "They were painting the sand green to make it blend in."

By Gavin Lesnick · Friday, Aug. 29,2003 1:51 a.m.

The Matt LoVecchio era of IU football is about to officially begin. The junior quarterback who sat out last season after transferring from Notre Dame will make his Hoosier debut Saturday in IU's season opener at Connecticut. And although LoVecchio has been a big-game quarterback before -- leading Notre Dame to a Fiesta Bowl berth as a freshman -- he isn't getting ahead of himself.

By Alyson Brodsy and Janie McCauley · Wednesday, Aug. 27,2003 2:54 a.m.

NEW YORK -- Michael Chang played his final match before retirement with the same flair and energy he's shown for years -- his feet just didn't move as quickly at age 31 as they used to. Chang, feisty as ever, lost to 15th-seeded Fernando Gonzalez of Chile 6-3, 7-5, 5-7, 6-4 Tuesday, in the first round of the U.S. Open., then walked back onto the court and waved goodbye to a standing ovation in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
