Senior Lyle McCombs, the leading rusher at UConn for the past three seasons, has been dismissed from the football team. He will stay at the school and be given an opportunity to earn his degree. UConn coach Bob Diaco was not specific, but spoke about resumes and continuing problems. "It's an ongoing lack of meeting the expectations of a member of the student body and of the team," Diaco said by phone Wednesday.

In the 18th century, New Englanders didn't celebrate Christmas. The Puritans considered the holiday a distasteful Catholic invention. The big wintertime to-do was New Year's Day, where women took callers and men settled their debts. It wasn't until the 1830s that Christmas became an annual rite. Around this time, Clement Moore published "A Visit from St. Nicholas" and established a new Santa Claus archetype: fat, bearded, red suit, riding a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer to deliver toys to sleeping children who hung up stockings.

Five Things We LearnedMcCombs Stands Tall Sophomore running back Lyle McCombs (5 feet 8, 166 pounds) might be small in stature, but the size of his heart can't be measured. Although Louisville gave up 161 yards on the ground, McCombs hadn't been turning out numbers like he was last season. Most of that wasn't on him. On Saturday, McCombs cut, slashed and spun his way to 133 yards on 29 carries. It was his best game of the season in terms of showing that he wanted to be a factor.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. — At one end of HighPoint Solutions Stadium, behind an end zone UConn could only dream of reaching on this frustrating Saturday, are printed the words, "Birthplace Of College Football. " And since that November day in 1869 when Rutgers beat Princeton 6-4, one matter always has rung true. If you want to run the ball, you better be able to run the ball. Otherwise, it leads to nothing but frustration. "And I think you can see the frustration level on my face," UConn running back Lyle McCombs said Saturday after No. 22 Rutgers squashed the Huskies, 19-3.
