2015 University of Connecticut Football Game Notes

Nov. 28 vs. Temple Game Notes THE HUSKY CAPTAINS The four UConn football captains for the 2015 season were announced on August 26th and they were selected by voting by members of the entire UConn program. The captains - redshirt senior safety Andrew Adams (Fayetteville, Ga.), redshirt senior defensive lineman Julian Campenni (West Pittston, Pa.), redshirt junior offensive tackle Andreas Knappe (Silkeborg, Denmark) and redshirt senior linebacker Marquise Vann (Cincinnati, Ohio). Here are comments from Diaco on each one:

HUSKIES VS. NON-CONFERENCE FOES SINCE 2002 Connecticut boasts a 48-32 record against non-conference opponents in the regular season since making the move to the FBS in 2002. The Huskies have won 21 of their last 34 regular season non-league games overall. UConn has posted the following records in non-conference regular season games: 6-6 (2002), 9-3 (2003), 4-1 (2004), 3-1 (2005), 3-2 (2006), 4-1 (2007), 4-1 (2008), 4-1 (2009), 3-2 (2010), 2-3 (2011), 3-2 (2012), 0-4 (2013), 1-3 (2014) and 2-2 in 2015.

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.”

YOUTH IN THE LINEUP UConn used a total of 51 players in its victory against Villanova on September 3 and then used 55 in the win against Army. The Huskies used 47 players on the road against Missouri, 55 vs. Navy, 51 vs. BYU, a season-high 61 in the win over UCF, 53 vs. USF, 49 in the win over East Carolina, 47 vs. Tulane and 51 in the win over Houston.

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.” PRESEASON WATCH LISTS The following Huskies were named to Award Watch Lists prior to the 2015 season.

2015 University of Connecticut Football Game Notes

Nov. 28 vs. Temple Game Notes In 262 pass attempts this season, he has thrown just seven interceptions – two of them in the same game vs. BYU and one against Tulane on the final play of the first half in a driving rain. Shirreffs transferred to UConn from North Carolina State and sat out the 2014 season. He played in one game for the Wolfpack in 2014 and the Villanova game was his first collegiate start. THOMAS LEADS THE RECEIVERS UConn junior Noel Thomas (Norwalk, Conn.) is the leading receiver for the Huskies this season with 49 catches for 656 yards.. In the win vs. Houston, Thomas was spectacular with seven receptions for a career-high 108 yards and had two TD receptions. The first came on a four-yard pass from Shirreffs that gave the Huskies a score on their opening drive and the second came on a nifty 45yard reception from junior Garrett Anderson (Walnut, Calif.) after taking a lateral from Boyle. Thomas was named the American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week for his performance vs. Houston. Thomas had a career-high eight receptions vs. USF on 74 yards. Thomas seven receptions for 86 yards vs. Missouri, including an incredible 29-yard grab on a third-and-ten play that set up UConn’s lone TD of the day. He also had five receptions for 78 yards against Navy and two receptions vs. BYU. Thomas led the Huskies in receiving in the win vs. UCF with five catches for 62 yards – plus his first receiving TD of the season and fifth of his career. ANDERSON MOVES TO RUNNING BACK SPOT UConn junior Garrett Anderson (Walnut, Calif.) joined the Huskies this year and came as a quarterback from Laney Junior College in California. In recent weeks, the Husky coaching staff moved him to the running back spot (with a number change to 24) and he was part of the most memorable play of the season in the win vs. Houston. In the fourth quarter on a second-and-11 from the Houston 45, Boyle lateralled the ball to Andesron, who used his quarterback skills, to throw it to a waiting Thomas, waltzed into the end zone. Anderson also had a 12-yard reception vs. Houston. Anderson threw for over 1,500 yards and 24 TDs as Laney in 2013 and threw for 612 in 2014. He attended high school at Berean Christian in Walnut Creek. TRUE-BLUE MYERS SETS CAREER HIGHS UConn redshirt sophomore Tommy Myers (Coventry, Conn.) set career highs against Villanova on September 3 with 83 receptions yards, including one for 69 yards. Entering the game, Myers had just eight career receiving yards. Myers’ father Norm played football at UConn from 1981-84 and his mother Peggy (Walsh) Myers played women’s basketball from 1982-86 and had 1,413 career points – among the top 25 in school history. Myers is the fifthleading receiver on team this year with 16 receptions for 232 yards and two TDs. He tied for the team lead in receptions in the win vs. Tulane with two for 24 yards. Myers left the Houston game in the first quarter with an injury. YOUTH AT RECEIVER The receiving statistics for UConn demonstrate how young the Huskies are this year and the great promise for the future. Of the 178 receptions made by UConn this year, only five have been made by a player in their final year of eligibility and 115 of them have been made by players in either their first or second year of eligibility.

ARKEEL EMERGES IN RUNNING GAME Sophomore Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn.) has emerged as the top running back in the Husky rotation this season and has started the past nine games. He leads UConn in rushing with 759 yards and six TDs on 161 carries. Newsome has rushed the ball for over 100 yards in the two of the past three games – both of the UConn wins. Newsome had 114 yards on a career-high 32 carries vs. the Cougars and added two receptions. These two games are his first two 100-yard collegiate games. Newsome another great game in the win vs. East Carolina on October 30 as he carried the ball 25 times for a career-high 179 yards of rushing with two touchdowns. He had a 90-yard TD run late in the third quarter, which gave UConn a commanding 24-6 lead. That 90-yard run was tied as the third-longest rush in school history and the longest rush for a Husky since Terry Caulley had a 98-yard rush vs. Army in 2006. His 179 yards of rushing was the most for a Husky since Jordan Todman had 192 against Temple in 2010. Newsome also had 41 yards of receiving vs. the Pirates and 24 kickoff returns for 244 all-purpose yards. He now has 1,403 all-purpose yards this season to lead the team. For his performance vs. East Carolina, Newsome was named the winner of the weekly Gold Helmet Award, given out by the New England Football Writers Association to the top player in New England each week. He is also UConn’s second-leading receiver with 38 catches for 426 yards, including a 30-yard TD reception vs. BYU. He had a career-high eight receptions for 74 yards against USF. Newsome is the Huskies’ leading KO returner this year and has 16 for 376 yards – including a careerlong 71-yarder vs. UCF. Newsome was named to the American Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts vs. UCF and had 257 yards of all-purpose yardage vs. the Knights. Newsome started two games last year as a true freshman and was also UConn’s primary kickoff returner. He was a Parade Magazine All-American as a senior at Ansonia High School as the team went 43-0 in his final three seasons. He had 3,867 yards of rushing his senior year.

Defense Notes HUSKIES AMONG NATIONAL LEADERS IN INTERCEPTIONS UConn had four interceptions in the win over East Carolina on October 30 and has intercepted three or more passes in three games this year. The four interceptions matched a UConn team-high with five other games since the program was elevated to FBS level. The overall school record is six – recorded two times. The Huskies recorded three interceptions in win against Villanova (Sept. 3) and UCF (Oct. 10).As a team, UConn is ranked sixth in the country with 17 interceptions, which is good for second in the American. Sophomore cornerback Jamar Summers (East Orange, N.J.) has recorded critical interceptions in the past three games. In the win vs. East Carolina (October 30), he had two. His first came in the closing seconds of the first half with ECU driving, but Summers’ intercepted the ball at the Husky eight. His second interception came last in the fourth quarter in the Husky endzone. He returned a pick 67-yards for a touchdown in the win vs. Tulane (Sept. 7) – UConn’s only score in a 7-3 win. Against Houston last Saturday, he intercepted the ball in the final minute of the game at the UConn 29 as the Cougars had been driving for a potential game-winning score.

2015 University of Connecticut Football Game Notes

Nov. 28 vs. Temple Game Notes Summers leads the Huskies in interceptions with seven – with five in the past three games. Redshirt junior cornerback Jhavon Williams and senior cornerback Andrew Adams (Fayetteville, Ga.) each have three. In the win over UCF, two of the interceptions led to late first-half touchdowns to give the Huskies control of the game. Williams 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, Melifonwu 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. 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 game-winning 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 The UConn defense, although more upperclassmen laden than the offense, also has its share of younger performers. Redshirt sophomore linebacker Junior Joseph (Sinking Springs, Pa.) is the secondleading tackler on the team with 73 stops and 3.5 tackles for a loss. Sophomore Luke Carrezola (Langhorne, Pa) is seventh with 37 and a team-leading 7.5 tackles for a loss. Two more underclassmen are next in tackles with sophomore Folorunso Fatukasi (Far Rockaway, N.Y.) with 34, five tackles for a loss and and a team-leading five sacks. Sophomore cornerback Jamar Summers (East Orange, N.J.) is ninth with 32.

Special Teams Notes PUYOL SESMIFINALIST FOR GROZA AWARD UConn redshirt junior Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.) is a 14-for16 in field goals this season and tied a career-long and had a seasonhigh 45-yarder in the win vs. East Carolina with 22 seconds left in the first quarter. His previous season-long was 42-yards against BYU. He also had a 45-yarder vs. Memphis last year. He had three field goals in the win vs. Army (September 12) and two in games vs. BYU, USF, Cincinnati and Houston. Puyol is one of 20 semifinalists for the 2015 Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award presented by the Orange Bowl. The finalists will be announced on November 24 and honored at the 24th annual Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Awards Banquet on December 7 in West Palm Beach, Florida. The winner will be announced live on ESPN at the Home Depot College Football Awards Show on Thursday, December 10. WAIN PINNING THE BALL Redshirt junior punter Justin Wain (Wilmington, N.C.) has a total of 63 punts this season and has 19 within the 20-yard line – including six inside the 20 in the win vs. Houston. He also 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. Wain had a career-high 11 punts in the Tulane game and did not mishandle one – quite an achievement considering the torrential rain that fell during the game from start to finish.

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 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 53-30 at Rentschler Field and a 29-13 mark in non-conference games. UConn has played to 88.5-pct. of capacity all-time there, drawing 2,938,168 fans, or an average of 34,798 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 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.

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. BYU then took control of the game with a dominant fourth quarter. UConn’s only points of the fourth came on a 42-yard field goal with 8:59 in the game.

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.

The Huskies improve to 4-5 on the season and are 2-3 in American Athletic Conference play while the Pirates are also and identical 4-5 and 2-3. Late in the third quarter, Newsome appeared hemmed in at his team’s 10-yard line, but found a seam on the right side of the line and broke free for a 90-yard thirdquarter touchdown run that gave UConn a 24-6 lead and control of the game. The rush was the fourth-longest in school history. “It was almost an arm tackle, but I was like, ‘I gotta go, I gotta go,” he said. “All I saw was green. My eyes got really big.” The Huskies have now doubled their win total from a year ago and need just two more to become bowl eligible. Newsome also had a two-yard touchdown run in the second quarter that gave UConn a 10-6 lead - which was the halftime score. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Bryant Shirreffs (Jeffreson, Ga.) completed 12 of 21 passes for 184 yards with one passing touchdown and a three-yard dive into the end zone in the fourth quarter that gave the Huskies their final points. Marquez Grayson ran for a career-high 87 yards on nine carries for East Carolina, which has lost three of its last four. Pirate quarterback James Summers, who has been sharing duties with Blake Kemp, started for the third time in his career and played into the fourth quarter. He was 12 of 27 for 87 yards and an interception before giving way to Kemp. Kemp ran for a two-yard touchdown after DeShaun Amos recovered a fumble to pull the Pirates to within 11 points, but he also threw three of East Carolina’s four picks. “We needed some offense and wanted to give James a little bit longer look and some longer reps, and then went with Blake” said East Carolina head coach Ruffin McNeil. “Blake came up short.” The Huskies, who gave up 612 yards in a loss to Cincinnati a week ago, held the Pirates to 340 yards and just 137 through the air. East Carolina’s DeShawn Benton opened the scoring with 5:15 left to go in the first quarter on 32-yard interception return, but the extra-point attempt was blocked. UConn responded by scoring the next 24 points - starting with their longest drive of the season, 94-yards, to take 10-6 lead into halftime. They were helped by two ECU penalties. A targeting call after a 29-yard catch by freshman Hergy Mayala (Montreal, Que.) led to safety Travon Simmons’ ejection and set the Huskies up on the Pirate’s 11 yard line. Corner Josh Hawkins was later called for interference in the end zone, setting up set up Newsome’s 2-yard touchdown run. Shirreffs engineered an eight-play 66-yard drive in the third quarter, hitting sophomore tight end Alec Bloom (Ligonier, Pa.) over the middle for a 23-yard touchdown pass that put the Huskies up 17-6.

UConn is 3-3 in the American Athletic Conference while Tulane is 2-7 overall and 1-5 in the league. The win was the least number of points UConn scored in a victory since a 3-0 win to end the 1967 season against Holy Cross on Nov. 25. UConn also scored seven points in a win over New Hampshire in 1973 (7-3 on Oct. 6, 1973). The last time the Huskies won a game with single-digit scoring was a 9-7 win over New Hampshire in 1983. UConn limited Tulane to just 140 yards of total offense, although the Huskies only gained 227 themselves. The Huskies forced 11 punts by Tulane and the UConn defense had seven threeand-outs. Summers’ pick six was the first for the Huskies since Byron Jones had a 70-yarder last year at USF. The interception was the 15th of the year for the Huskies and Summers has a team-leading six. He entered the game 15th in the country in interceptions. Sophomore running back Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn.) had 79 yards of rushing on 16 carries and also caught two passes for 31 yards. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Bryant Shirreffs (Jefferson, Ga.) was eight-of-19 for 81 yards. Senior linebacker Graham Stewart (Durham, Conn.) led the way for the Husky defense with six tackles and 3.5 tackles for a loss. Sophomore Luke Carrezola (Ligonier, Pa.) had two-and-a-half tackles for a loss. Tulane’s only first half points were a 37-yard field goal by sophomore Andrew DiRocco with 8:28 left in the second quarter. The Husky defense gave up 41 yards on that drive but held the Green Wave when they reached the UConn 15.

UConn’s record improves to 6-5 on the season as the Huskies gain bowl eligibility for the first time since the 2010 season. UConn is 4-3 in the American Athletic Conference while Houston falls to 10-1 overall and 6-1 in the league. The win is UConn’s third over a team ranked in the Associated Press poll at the time of the game. The Huskies beat No. 19 Louisville on the road in 2012 and topped No. 11 USF at home in 2007. The key turning play of the game was a 45-yard touchdown pass in the fourth from junior Garrett Anderson (Walnut Creek, Calif.) on a trick play to Thomas. Anderson came to the UConn program as a quarterback, but has recently been playing out of the running back spot. He took a pitch from junior quarterback Tim Boyle (Brookfield, Conn.) and launched the TD pass that made it 20-10 with 9:48 to go. Houston came right back and made it 20-17 as Brandon Wilson returned the ensuing kickoff 94-yard to make it 20-17. The Husky defense held tight the rest of the game and as they stopped the Cougars on a fourth-and-nine from midfield with two minutes to go and sophomore cornerbackJamar Summers (East Orange, N.J.) clinched the win with an interception with 55 seconds left. Boyle took over QB duties for the Huskies when a hard hit sent redshirt sophomore starter Bryant Shirreffs (Jefferson, Ga.) to the sidelines for the rest of the game. Boyle, who saw QB time in just one other game this year, was 12 of 22 in the air of 110 yards while sophomore running back Arkeel Newsome (Ansonia, Conn.) had 32 carries for 114 yards. The Huskies opened the scoring on their first drive with a six-play, 72-yard drive that ended with a four-yard TD pass from Shirreffs to Thomas. Newsome had a 42-yard run in that drive. The two teams traded second-quarter field goals as redshirt junior Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.) had a 25-yarder for the Huskies with 4:59 left in the half as the Huskies led 10-3. The only scoring of the third quarter came on a 39-yard FG from Puyol that made it 13-3. Houston scored a touchdown on a 38-yard pass from Kyle Postma to Chance Allen to make it 13-10 Huskies with 13:55 to play. Postma, playing in place of Heisman hopeful Greg Ward Jr., was 16 of 27 in the air for 190 yards with one TD and one interception and was sacked three times. Ward, who rolled his left ankle a week ago against Memphis, came in during Houston’s last drive. Postma, who engineered Houston’s come-from-behind win over Memphis last week, could not do it again against UConn. The Cougars’ next drive ended when his fourth-down pass from to a diving Demarcus Ayers was ruled out of bounds on a replay.
