American Honors Special Teams Player of the Week TB Arkeel Newsome, October 3, vs. UCF Honor Roll QB Bryant Shirreffs, September 12, vs. Army QB Bryant Shirreffs, October 3, vs. UCF

Andrew Adams: “Andrew has a lot of experience at the position. He’s played a lot of reps at the position, and he has a lot of cache with the team, being a veteran player.

He’s demonstrative, he’s a quick thinker, so he has a lot of answers. He presents like a coach on the field, running a lot of our automatics and getting guys in the proper position.”

Julian Campenni: “He is kind of quiet, but a great listener. He does it the right way on campus, and then he goes on the field and produces. I think his greatest trait is that he goes on the field and does well. He plays well, he makes plays, he’s hard to block, he’s disruptive and that’s recognized by the football family in terms of that value.”

Andreas Knappe: “He is new to the game, but does it all over the place. He takes accountability. He is the epitome of tough gentleman. He has the concept of a gentleman but he has a real backbone there and his principle. When I say toughness that’s what I mean, a person with principle. He’s definitely that. He knows he’s good at the game, and good at the position. He’s the first one to tell you that, but he’s working on it every day, getting better and better. His best football is out in front of him.”

Marquise Vann: “He is a very strong and faithful person. He has a real strong moral compass, which the guys enjoy. Not that anybody’s perfect, but he’s a pretty unflappable guy and a very focused individual. He loves hard work. He loves working hard. The guys really respect that.”

Offense Notes

SHIRREFFS IMPRESSIVE IN FIRST SEASON UConn redshirt sophomore quarterback Bryant Shirreffs (Jefferson, Ga.) has had a successful start to his Husky career with over 200 yards of passing in five of his first eight collegiate starts.

The youth in the UConn lineup is impressive as the 11 Husky starters on offense in the Villanova opener were comprised of seven redshirt sophomores or true sophomores with three redshirt juniors or true juniors. The only senior in the starting offense was right guard Tyler Samra (Fairlawn, N.J.) in all four games this season.

Defense

Notes

THREE PICKS IN A GAME UConn registered three interceptions in the win over UCF and two of them led to late first-half touchdowns to give the Huskies control of the game.

Redshirt junior Jhavon Williams (Delray Beach, Fla.) had UConn’s first interception with 2:18 left in the first half that put the ball at the UCF nine. The Huskies scored two plays later to make it 16-3.

On UCF’s next possession, redshirt junior safety Obi Melifonwu (South Grafton, Mass.) had a pick that gave UConn the ball at the UCF 34 with 1:06 to play in the half. UConn scored a TD on two Shirreffs passes to take a 23-3 halftime lead.

UConn also got an interception from sophomore cornerback Jamar Summers (East Orange, N.J.) early in the fourth quarter.

UConn has intercepted four passes in a game five times during its FBS history.

UConn has ten interceptions this year – with Williams and Summers leading the way with three. All three of Williams interceptions have been on the road – at Missouri, BYU and UCF. ADAMS WITH KEY INTERCEPTIONS Redshirt senior Andrew Adams (Fayettteville, Ga.) has had an interception in each of the Huskies’ first two wins this year – and both came at critical times.

His first interception of the season in the win over Villanova with a third-quarter grab with 6:32 to play as Villanova had moved to the UConn 36-yard line as the Huskies had a 13-9 lead.

On Sept. 13 vs. Army, Adams had a pick with 2:21 left in the game as the Black Knights had the ball and were trying for a gamewinning TD drive.

Adams now has eight career interceptions and led the Huskies last season with four last season – including three against UCF on Nov. 1, 2014 -- which tied a school single-game record.

SOPHOMORE STANDOUT PERFORMANCES Redshirt sophomore linebacker Junior Joseph (Sinking Springs, Pa.) had a career-high nine tackles vs. Villanova as he made his fifth career start and then topped that on Saturday with 16 vs.

Cincinnati.

Classmate Folorunso Fatukasi (Far Rockaway, N.Y.) also set his career high with six tackles vs. the Wildcats while registered a pair of sacks for a total loss of 13 yards. Sophomore Luke Carrezola (Langhorne, Pa) also set a career high with six tackles vs. Villanova and had a complete game with two tackles for a loss, including a sack. He also had a fumble recovery and two QB hurries. Carrezola also tied his career-high Saturday vs. Cincinnati.

Joseph was the second-leading tackler for the Huskies vs. Army with five stops while Carrezzola had two.

Joseph again led the sensational defensive performance vs. Missouri with nine stops and sophomore cornerback Jamar Summers (East Orange, N.J.) was tied for second with eight. In the game against Missouri, an amazing ten different Huskies had at least part of a tackle for a loss.

6

Joseph was the second-leading tackler for the Huskies vs. BYU with eight.

Four different players, including Joseph and sophomore Vontae Diggs (Downers Grove, Ill.), led the Huskies with five tackles vs. UCF.

Special Teams Notes

PUYOL NEAR PERFECT IN FIELD GOALS UConn redshirt junior Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.) is a 11-for-12 in field goals this season and made a 37-yarder and seasonlonger 42-yarder against BYU. He hit a 21-yard vs. UCF and connected on attempts of 19 and 27 yards before missing a 44-yarder vs. USF. Puyol is now 21 for 27 in his career (1-1 in 2012 and 9-14 in 2014) with a long of 45 against Memphis last year. His two field goals vs. BYU and Cincinnati tied a career high from two other games.

WAIN PINNING THE BALL Redshirt junior punter Justin Wain (Wilmington, N.C.) had an outstanding game vs. Army as he had three punts and put all three of them within the Black Knight 20-yard line. The most critical came with 2:30 left in the game and Army had closed the lead to 22-17. UConn was forced to punt from its own 39 and Wain got off a 50-yard to pin Army to its own 11.

Wain also pinned the Black Knights to their own ten-yard line in the in the second quarter and their own seven early in fourth quarter.

Stadium/Attendance Notes SAME STADIUM/NEW NAME Starting with the 2015 season, the home field of UConn football will be known at “Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field” – instead of just “Rentshcler Field” as it was known for since it opened in 2003.

Pratt & Whitney President Paul Adams and UConn President Susan Herbst announced the name change on July 17, during a groundbreaking ceremony for Pratt & Whitney’s new 425,000-square-foot global headquarters and engineering building on the company’s. campus, within sight of the stadium. Pratt & Whitney is a unit of United Technologies Corp. (UTC).

“Pratt & Whitney is proud of its long-standing and successful partnership with the state’s flagship university,” Adams said. “We consider UConn an ideal partner to ensure we have a strong pipeline of talented professionals to join our ranks in the future. There’s no better time to rename the stadium than as part of Pratt & Whitney’s 90th anniversary celebration, especially as we begin to construct our new headquarters and engineering building that will sit just a few hundred yards from Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field.”

As part of the stadium agreement, UTC will contribute 10 acres of land to the state of Connecticut for additional stadium parking. UTC also will provide an easement for the use of an additional 15 acres adjacent to existing stadium parking, further expanding the parking available to UConn fans. In return, UTC’s stadium naming rights will be extended through 2030. Since its opening, the stadium has been known simply as Rentschler Field.

UTC originally received stadium naming rights through 2018 as part of a 2000 agreement that provided the state with 75 acres to build the stadium, which opened in 2003. The land had previously served Pratt & Whitney as part of Rentschler Field airport from 1933 to 1999. With

2015 University of Connecticut Football Game Notes

Oct. 30 vs. East Carolina Game Notes today’s announcement, UTC has transferred more than 150 acres of the former Rentschler Field airport to the state for the stadium and associated parking.

The University of Connecticut football team is the primary tenant of Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field. The stadium is owned by the State of Connecticut, with the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management overseeing operations. Spectra Inc. manages the stadium. Pratt & Whitney is a world leader in the design, manufacture, and service of aircraft engines and auxiliary power units. United Technologies Corp., based in Hartford, Conn., provides high-technology systems and services to the building and aerospace industries.

STADIUM HISTORY The Huskies moved into Rentschler Field in East Hartford for the 2003 season and UConn entered its 12th season of play there on Friday. Located within miles of Interstates 91, 84 and 384, the home of the Huskies lies on 75 acres of land donated to the State of Connecticut from the historic Pratt & Whitney Airfield. The stadium, like the former airfield, was originally named for that company’s founder, Frederick Rentschler. The stadium boasts a capacity of 40,000 with 38 luxury suites.

UConn has an all-time record of 52-30 at Rentschler Field and a 2913 mark in non-conference games. UConn has played to 88.8-pct. of capacity all-time there, drawing 2,915,000 fans, or an average of 35,548 per game.

UConn set a new all-time single-game attendance record at Rentschler Field on Sept. 21, 2013 against Michigan with a crowd of 42,704. That capacity was achieved with extra bleachers brought in for that game.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. - University of Connecticut redshirt sophomore Bryant Shirreffs (Jefferson, Ga.) threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns in his first collegiate start and first game for the Huskies as the UConn football team defeated Villanova by a 20-15 score on Thursday night. The game was the season opener for both team and was played before a Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field crowd of 26,113.

The Huskies opened the scoring with a 14-yard TD reception by redshirt sophomore Tommy Myers (Coventry, Conn.) from Shirreffs that completed a 13 play, 79 yard drive that made it 6-0 Huskies with 6:55 to go in the first quarter.

The Wildcats led 9-6 at the half, but the Shirreffs to Myers duo was back at work on the second play from scrimmage of the second half for a 69-yard completion that put the ball at the Wildcat one-yard line. Two plays later, sophomore running back Ron Johnson (Naples, Fla.) ran the ball in for the score and give UConn the lead for good at 13-9.

The Huskies made it 20-9 on a 27-yard reception by sophomore Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn.) with 4:53 to go in the game. Villanova quarterback John Robertson scored on a three-yard run with 1:45 to go.

UConn had a key defensive stop early in the fourth quarter as Villanova had moved the ball to the Husky 36, but stopped the Wildcats on fourth and one.

Johnson was UConn’s leading rusher with 65 yards while junior Noel Thomas (Norwalk, Conn.) and Newsome each had three receptions.

Redshirt sophomore Junior Joseph (Sinking Springs, Pa.) led the Huskies with nine tackles while sophomore linebacker Luke Carrezola (Langhorne, Pa.) had six tackles with a sack and redshirt sophomore Folorunso Fatukasi (Far Rockaway, N.Y.) had six tackles with two sacks.

The game was played before a crowd of 28,260 at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field. UConn led 12-10 at the half, sandwiching a 10-yard touchdown run from sophomore Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn.) around two field goals from redshirt sophomore Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.).

Puyol’s 23-yard with 2:13 to go in the first quarter tied the game at 3-3 while his second, a 25-yader with 42 seconds left in the half, gave UConn the intermission lead. Newsome had a 10-yard TD run with 5:07 left in the half that gave UConn a 10-9 lead. Redshirt junior safety Obi Melifonwu (South Grafton, Mass.) sniffed out a misdirection pitch to Army’s DeAndre Bell on a fourth down and made an open-field tackle to set up a UConn 62-yard touchdown drive early in the second half. Johnson completed that drive with a two-yard run to make it 19-10 Huskies with 7:10 left. Shirreffs’ 32-yard throw to freshman Tyraiq Beals (East Orange, N.J.) set up the drive. Puyol hit a valuable 39-yard field goal with 5:33 left in the game that made it 22-10 Huskies. Army quarterback Ahmad Bradshaw rushed for 129 yards, including a 56-yard first-half touchdown that made it 10-3 Black Knights with 8:48 to go in the second quarter. His backup, senior A.J. Schurr, threw a 71-yard touchdown to Joe Walker in the fourth quarter to close the UConn lead to 22-17 with 4:51 left. Husky senior safety Andrew Adams (Fayetteville, Ga.) intercepted a pass with 2:21 left in the game to seal the win for UConn. UConn junior wide receiver Noel Thomas (Norwalk, Conn.) caught four balls for 83 yards Twenty-one of the 22 defensive players on UConn’s depth chart played in that game. They held the Black Knights to 180 rushing yards on Saturday - as opposed to 325 yards last year in a 3521 loss at Yankee Stadium.The Huskies outgained Army 415 yards to 265 and held onto the ball for 39 minutes. Schurr came into the game after the Huskies made it 22-10. Army had just five yards passing on two attempts before he went long to junior Joe Walker, who out-jumped Melifonwu and raced down the left sideline with just under five minutes left to cut lead to 22-17. Army could not get the ball back after Shurr’s pass into coverage ended up with Adams. Newsome rushed 13 times for 73 yards for UConn, while Johnson added 39 yards on 18 carries, and Shirreffs had 31 yards on the ground. With the game tied at 3-3 after the teams traded first quarter field goals, Army took the lead back in the second quarter. After a taunting penalty gave the Black Knights first down at their 44, Bradshaw kept the ball, ran through the middle of the Husky defense, then cut right and outran the secondary for his touchdown. Newsome’s touchdown run capped a 75-yard Husky drive. But for the second consecutive week, UConn had an extra point blocked, and trailed 10-9.On the final drive of the half, Thomas followed up a diving 33-yard catch, with a 26-yarder after a screen play to set up Puyol’s 25-yard kick. Army’s Andrew King had three sacks and 4 1/2 tackles for loss. UConn had not won back-to-back games since the end of the 2013 season in which it won three straight.

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- The University of Connecticut football team came up just a few points short on Saturday from beating No. 22 Missouri. The Tigers hung on for a 9-6 lead over UConn before a crowd of 70,079 at Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium.

The Huskies drop to 2-1 on the season while the Tigers improve to 3-0.

UConn was driving in the final moments of the game going for the victory. The Huskies faced a fourth-and-four with 45 seconds left and, in field goal formation, passed the ball which resulted the first career interception for safety Anthony Sherrils. ‘’Anthony made a great play,’’ Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. ‘’He has been doing really well. He is an extraordinary athlete that has great speed and acceleration.’’

Sherrils said the Missouri defense sensed that a fake was a possibility. ‘’We were anticipating it,’’ Sherrils said. ‘’We backed up off the line to get a good look at it. The tight end released, and I knew it was a fake.’’

Sherrils returned the interception 50 yards to the UConn 22 to seal the Tiger victory He also had a fumble recovery in the second quarter. ‘’Credit to Missouri and their staff and their players for fighting hard for four quarters,’’ UConn coach Bob Diaco said. ‘’A game like that, it is one play. One play and it’s in overtime. One play and it’s a win.’’

UConn redshirt sophomore quarterback Bryant Shirreffs (Jefferson, Ga.) was 17 of 26 for 156 yards and ran 14 times for 29 yards. The Huskies were 1 of 3 on fourthdown plays, converting on a 13-yard run by redshirt junior Justin Wain (Wilmington, N.C.) off a fake punt. Missouri took a 2-0 lead in first-quarter on a safety after Clarence Greene blocked a punt that went out of the end zone.

UConn scored its only point on the day when sophomore Ron Johnson (Naples, Fla.) scored on a six-yard run with 4:14 left in the first quarter to make it 6-2 Huskies. The big play of that five-play-35 yard drive was a 29-yard pass from Shirreffs to junior Noel Thomas (Norwalk, Conn.) that put the ball at the Missouri six.The drive was set up by a nifty interception by redshirt junior cornerback Jhavon Williams (Delray Beach, Fla.).

The 6-2 Husky lead held up through halftime and into the third quarter, but Mizzou scored a touchdown on a fourth and goal two-yard run by quarterback Maty Mauk that completed a 15 play-68 yard drive with 5:03 left in the third quarter. The Tigers converted three third down plays in that drive and the fourth down scoring play. Thomas had seven receptions for the Huskies for 86 yards while Shirreffs led UConn in rushing with 29 yards.Redshirt sophomore Junior Joseph (Sinking Springs, Pa.) led UConn in tackles with nine as ten different Husky player registered tackles for a loss.

Mauk completed 14 of 22 passes for 145 yards and an interception for the Tigers.

Running back Ish Witter made his first career start for Missouri and carried the 17 times for 54 yards.

Reynolds had touchdown runs of 10, 4 and 10 yards to give him 73 for his career, second in NCAA history behind former Wisconsin star Monte Ball, who ran for 77.

The senior threw the ball just four times, but completed three of those, including a 19-yard touchdown to Jamir Tillman that gave Navy a 14-3 lead in the second quarter.

UConn redshirt sophomore quarterback Bryant Sherriffs (Jefferson, Ga.) threw for 219 yards on a 19 of 32 performance with a pair of TD passes. Freshman wide receiver Tyraiq Beals (East Orange, N.J.) caught six passes for 63 yards and a score for the Huskies.

The Mids scored touchdowns on four of their first five possessions, but the Husky defense dug in and forced Navy to punt twice and be out on fourth down the rest of the game.

The Huskies went out to a 3-0 lead on a 38-yasd field goal by redshirt junior Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla), but Navy scored TDs on a 10-yard rush by Reynolds and a 19-yard pass from Reynolds to Jamir Tillman that made it 14-3 Navy with 7:02 to play in the first half.

Shirreffs hit Beals for a 39-yard TD pass with 3:29 left in the half that closed the gap to 14-10 Mids. Navy took advantage of the time left in the half to move the ball 77 yards on 14 plays as Reynolds scored on a four-yard run for a 21-10 halftime score.

Reynolds capped a 10 play-69 yard drive four seconds into the fourth quarter on a 10-yard TD run that made it 28-10 Navy.

The Huskies made a late run at the game as redshirt sophomore tight end Tommy Myers (Coventry, Conn.) had a six-yard TD reception and Shirreffs hit junior wide receiver Noel Thomas (Norwalk, Conn.) for a two-point conversion to close to within ten.

UConn recovered the onside kick but could not gain a first down on four tries. The Huskies then held the Mids on their next two defensive possessions but could not take advantage on offense. Sophomore Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn.) got the start at tailback for the Huskies and had 14 carries on 69 yards. He also had five receptions for 51 yards while Thomas had five receptions for 78 yards.

PROVO, Utah - The University of Connecticut football team and BYU were tied 1010 after three quarters on Friday night, but the Cougars outscored the Huskies 20-3 in the fourth en route to a 30-13 win. The game was played before 56,393 at LaVell Edwards Stadium as the Huskies fell to 2-3 on the season while BYU is 3-2.

The teams were tied at 7-7 at halftime as redshirt sophomore quarterback Bryant Shirreffs (Jefferson, Ga.) hooked up with sophomore Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn.) for a 30-yard touchdown pass with 1:42 left in the second quarter. That pass completed a six-play, 80-yard drive. BYU had scored the only points of the first quarter on a one-yard TD run by Francis Bernard with 2:44 left.

The teams traded third quarter field goals as redshirt junior Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.) kicked a 37-yarder with 7:11 left in the period for a 13-10 UConn lead.

Shirreffs generated two scores in the final 57 seconds of the first half that helped the Huskies turn a 9-3 lead into a 22-3 advantage. Shirreffs plowed in on a oneyard keeper two plays after redshirt junior cornerback Jhavon Williams’ (Delray Beach, Fla.) 19-yard interception put the ball on the UCF 9.

Redshirt junior safety Obi Melifonwu (South Grafton, Mass.) then had an interception and Shirreffs connected with junior wide receiver Noel Thomas (Norwalk, Conn.) for a 16-yard touchdown with 49 seconds left in the half.

Sophomore Ron Johnson (Naples, Fla.) and Newsome scored in the third quarter as the Huskies, who had only averaged 15.8 points per game coming into Saturday, extended their lead to 40-3. Newsome’s touchdown was set up when redshirt senior Ellis Marder (Windermere, Fla.) recovered a fumbled punt return on the UCF 16.

Newsome led the Huskies in rushing with 84 yards on 13 carries with the two TDs while Shirreffs rushed for 42 yards and a TD, in addition to his passing performance. Thomas led the Huskies in receiving with five grabs for 62 yards and the TD. Sophomore tight end Alec Bloom (Ligonier, Pa.) had four receptions for 67 yards.

The Huskies had three interceptions on the day from Melifonwu, Williams and sophomore cornerback Jamar Summers (East Orange, N.J.).

The Knights took a 3-0 lead on Matthew Wright’s 19-yard field goal on the game’s first possession, but managed just 56 total yards of offense the rest of the first half.

UCF’s struggles were best summarized after Newsome’s 5-yard touchdown gave UConn a 7-3 lead with 6:02 remaining. On the ensuing kickoff, UCF returner Hayden Jones ran one yard out of the end zone, then stepped back into the end zone and took a knee, resulting in a safety.

Holman finished 27 of 50 for 255 yards with an 11-yard touchdown to Nick Patti with 1:38 remaining.

The Huskies drop to 3-4 on the season and 1-2 in the American Athletic Conference while USF improves to 3-3 and 1-1.

UConn redshirt sophomore quarterback Bryant Shirreffs (Jeffesron, Ga.) passed for 365 yards and rushed for 100 more - just missing the school single-game record for total offense by a single yard.

Sophomore Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn.) had a career-high eight receptions for 74 yards with 58 yards of rushing on 13 carries. With his 89 kickoff return yards, he had a total of 221 all-purpose yards on the day.

Scoring was sparse in the first half as the Bulls had a 7-3 lead at the half. USF’s Rodney Adams scored the game’s first points on a 44-yard TD pass from Quinto Flowors with 11:08 left in the second quarter. UConn redshirt junior kicker Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.) kicked a 19-yard field goal with 7:50 left in the half for the Huskies’ only points of the first half.

UConn took a 10-7 early in the third quarter on a 36-yard TD run, but the Bulls came right back with a four-play, 73-yard drive that ended in a tricky 29-yard TD pass to Adams from running back D’Ernie Johnson to make it 14-10.

Another Puyol field goal, this time a 27-yarder, cut the lead to one at 14-13 with 1:59 left in the third quarter, but Flowers rushed for a 15-yard TD late in the third quarter and again connected with Adams for a 44-yard TD pass with 4:23 left to play to take a 28-13 lead.

The Huskies made it 28-20 on a 27-yard TD pass from Shirreffs to freshman Tyraiq Beals (East Orange, N.J.) with 2:12 to play, but UConn failed on the onside kick attempt and USF ran the clock out.

Flowers threw for 157 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 98 yards with one TD. Adams caught five balls for a career-high 118 yards and three touchdowns.

USF running back Marlon Mack rushed for 113 yards, all but nine of those coming in the second half. His 59-yard run down the left sideline in the third quarter set up the 15-yard touchdown scramble by Flowers that gave the Bulls a 21-13.
