1911 Connecticut Aggies football team

The 1911 Connecticut Aggies football team represented Connecticut Agricultural College—now known as the University of Connecticut—during the 1911 college football season. The Aggies began the season under the leadership of first-year head coach Leo Hafford, who died on October 1, the day after Connecticut's first game.[1] Alfred Corp, who had played football at Brown University the prior year, was appointed as Hafford's replacement later that week.[2] Connecticut finished the season with a record of 0–5. National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Connecitcut records credit the entire season to Hafford.[3]
