RANKED TEAMS The game vs. Rutgers on Oct. 13 marked the 19th time in school history that the Huskies faced a team ranked in the Associated Press poll at the time of the game. UConn’s only win in those 19 games came on Oct. 27, 2007 with a 22-15 win over No. 11 USF. UConn first played a ranked team in the 2001 season opener at No. 9 Virginia Tech.

In 2010, the Huskies GSR was third in the BIG EAST and within four points of the second place team and this fall, the 2011 GSR came out and UConn was tied for fourth in the league, but within four points of the two schools that were tied for second.

In 2012, the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) for the UConn football team was an impressive 963 over a four-year cycle, with a one-year mark of 950 for the 2010-11 academic year. The 963 was above the national average for FBS schools (952) and public institutions (943). HUSKIES VS.

HUSKIES ON THE REBOUND UConn is 34-20 in games following a loss since Oct. 26, 2002. In the opening game vs. UMass, the Huskies were coming off as they lost the 2011 season finale at Cincinnati and the Maryland win was coming off a loss to N.C. State while the Buffalo win was coming off a loss to Western Michigan. The Temple loss was coming off a loss to Rutgers, the Syracuse loss was coming off the Temple loss and the USF loss was coming off the Syracuse loss. The Pittsburgh win was coming off the USF loss. BALL CONTROL IS THE KEY A telling sign of UConn’s strong performance on both sides of the ball during its tenure as a FBS program has been its ability to both record and prevent long drives. Since the start of the 2002 season, UConn’s offense has strung together 86 scoring drives of at least 80 yards while the Husky defense has surrendered just 68 such marches. UConn also holds a 22-9 advantage over its opponents in the number of 90-yard and over drives since becoming a I-A program. HUSKIES DOMINATING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL Over the past 123 games, UConn has outgained its opponent 70 times. This stretch, like many UConn trends, dates back to a 2824 loss at Vanderbilt on Oct. 26, 2002.

November 24, 2012 • at Louisville Hyppolite Makes An Impact Redshirt junior running back Martin Hyppolite (Wakefield, Mass.) had a career-high six carries for 60 yards vs. Buffalo (Sept. 29), including a 50-yard TD rush in the second quarter to give UConn a 17-7 lead. Hyppolite entered the game with just five rushing yards this year and ten for his career. Hyppolite played as a backup TB in his true freshman year of 2010 but then missed all of last year with a knee injury. He carried the ball five times vs. Rutgers for -2 yards in his first career start and twice vs. Temple for four yards. He did not carry the ball vs. Syracuse or USF and had two carries for two yards vs. Pittsburgh. Tight Ends Are Tough Redshirt senior tight end Ryan Griffin (Londouderry, N.H.) was a second team All-BIG EAST selection last year and is moving up the career record book. Griffin is second in UConn history for receptions by a tight end with 113 while No. 1 is former NFL standout Brian Kozlowski (1989-92) with 159. Griffin is second in receiving yards by a tight end with 1,415 while Kozlowski also holds that record with 1,788. Griffin has had a touchdown reception in three of the past four games with a 42-yarder vs. Temple, a 32-yarder vs. Syracuse and a two-yarder vs. Pittsburgh. He also had a 36-yard TD reception vs. Buffalo earlier in the season and now has nine career TD receptions, which makes him fifth in Husky TE history. Griffin owns two of the top ten receiving seasons by a tight end in school history with 33 in 2011 (8th) and 31 in 2010 (tied for tenth). Griffin tied his career high with six receptions vs. Pittsburgh. Redshirt senior tight end John Delahunt (Ottawa, Ont.) is also having an outstanding year as he is the seventh-leading receiver on the team with 15 receptions for 184 yards and a TD. He entered the 2012 season with just 11 career receptions for 118 yards. DeLorenzo Makes First Career Start UConn redshirt freshman tailback Max DeLorenzo (Berlin, Conn.) made his first career start vs. Temple (Oct. 13).

He had three carries for one yard vs. Pittsburgh.

DEFENSE NOTES Solid Experience Back As has become a yearly habit, the UConn defense returned a strong returning nucleus this season. UConn returns eight of 11 starters to this year’s unit. Senior defensive end Jesse Joseph (Laval, Que.) led the way with 32 career starts, while senior cornerback Dwayne Gratz (Piscataway, N.J.) had 29, senior linebacker Sio Moore (Apex, N.C.) had 21 and senior defensive end Trevardo Williams (Bridgeport, Conn.) has 19. Joseph tore his left Achilles tendon at Maryland (Sept. 15) and is out for the remainder of the season. Gawdy Defensive Numbers THis Season The Connecticut defense has established itself as one of the top units in college football this season. UConn is ninth in total defense (296.20 yards per game), 11th in rushing defense (107.60 yards per game), 22nd in tackles for loss (7.00 per game), 22nd in sacks (2.70 per game), 21st in pass defense (188.60 yards per game) and 19th in scoring defense (18.40 points per game).

UConn leads the BIG EAST in total defense, rushing defense, pass defense and sacks. UConn has only given up 29 points in the first quarter of games this year (field goal by WMU, TD vs. Buffalo, two FG by Rutgers, two FG by Syracuse. TD by USF) and has given up only 26 first quarter first downs this year. The Husky defense led to a shutout vs. UMass on August 30 and limited the Minutemen to just three first downs, three yards of rushing and 59 total offensive yards. The shutout was the first by UConn since a 38-0 win over Maine on Sept. 8, 2007 and the first over a FCS team since a 38-0 win over Buffalo on Sept. 1, 2005. The three first downs tied a school record for least allowed in a single game as UConn also gave up three vs. Navy in 2002. The three yards of rushing was the seventh lowest allowed in school history. The defense also stepped up vs. N.C. State (Sept. 8) and limited the Wolfpack to seven points, 12 first downs and 54 yards of rushing. The seven points given up by UConn after two games this season was the fewest since UConn began the 2005 season with shutouts vs. Buffalo (38-0) and Liberty (Sept. 10). Trevardo Gets The Career Sack Record Senior defensive end Trevardo Williams (Bridgeport, Conn.) became the career sack leader in UConn history vs. USF (Nov. 3). Williams sacked B.J. Daniels on the third play of the second quarter to set the mark. Williams now has 27.5 career sacks while the former record belonged to Mark Michaels with 27 from 1982-85. Williams is sixth in UConn career history in tackles for a loss with 37.0. Uyi Osunde (1999-03) is the leader there with 49. Williams is tied for 18th in the country in sacks and is first in the BIG EAST at 0.85 per game. He is the ninth-leading total tackler on the Husky team this year. Williams gained preseason notice for 2012 by being named to preseason watch lists for the Bednarik Award, the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and the Lombardi Award. Williams earned Second Team All-BIG EAST honors last year and had a tremendous second half of 2011. Of his 43 tackles in 2011, 20 of them were made in the final five games and of his 15 tackles for a loss, 10.5 were in the final five. He led the BIG EAST and was ranked second in the country in sacks per game with 1.04 and was second in the BIG EAST and 32nd in the country in tackles for a loss. Smallwood Tied For 20th In The Country In Tackles Redshirt sophomore linebacker Yawin Smallwood (Worcester, Mass.) leads UConn in tackles this season with 100 and is tied for 20th in the country (and is third in BIG EAST) in tackles per game at 10.11. He is also tied for 27th in the country in tackles for a loss with 1.30 per game – which is tied for the BIG EAST lead with teammate Sio Moore. Smallwood has been honored twice this season as the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week. He was honored after the Sept. 15 win over Maryland when he had a game-high 14 tackles — five more than any other player in the game — to go with 2.5 sacks, 3.5 TFLs and a forced fumble. Smallwood was also UConn’s leading tackler in the opener vs. UMass as he had seven tackles with 3.5 TFLs. For his efforts, he was named the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week. Smallwood started all 12 games last year for the Huskies and was the second-leading tackler on the team.

2012 University of Connecticut Football Game Notes

November 24, 2012 • at Louisville Gratz Returns For A Touchdown UConn redshirt senior cornerback Dwayne Gratz (Piscataway, N.J.) returned an interception for 37-yards for a touchdown in the second quarter of the game against UMass. UConn returned just one interception for a touchdown last year. The “pick-six” was the second of Gratz’s career as he had a 46-yarder against Oklahoma in the 2011 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Gratz, who also had an interception on Maryland’s first play from scrimmage on Sept. 15 and one vs. USF, now has eight career interceptions. Stephen Returns To Lineup UConn redshirt junior Shamar Stephen (Brookville, N.Y.) returned to the Husky lineup on Sept. 15 vs. Maryland and has now started the last seven games after missing the first two games of ’12 with a knee injury suffered in preseason camp. Stephen had begun camp as a projected starter on the defensive line as he played in 24 of 25 games over the past two seasons. He had three tackles vs. WMU, one against Maryland and Buffalo and five with half a tackle for a loss vs. Rutgers. He had three tackles vs. Temple, two vs. Syracuse and three vs. USF. Against Rutgers, Stephen made a season-high five tackles and blocked a 50-yard field goal attempt. The blocked kick was the first blocked field goal by Connecticut since James Hargrave against Murray State (Sep. 4, 2004). Short Breaks for the Offense The Connecticut defense is tied for seventh in the country in three-and-outs forced this season at 5.00 per game. The Huskies have stopped opponents on third down 66% of the time this season and have forced three-play drives 37.6% (50-for-122) of the time. Florida State leads the country with 6.72 three-and-outs forced per game, followed by TCU (6.00), Wisconsin (5.45), Alabama (5.36) and Georgia (5.36) rounding out the top five.

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES Solid Start, But Tough Day, For Christen Redshirt junior kicker Chad Christen (Etters, Pa.) had connected on seven of his first ten collegiate field goal attempts and all 14 of his extra point attempts in his first year as the team’s placekicker entering the game vs. Temple. Christen had handled kickoff duties only for the past two years and is replacing UConn’s all-time leading kicker Dave Teggart this year. While Christen made both his PAT attempts vs. the Owls, he missed four field goals in the game – tries of 36, 42, 44 (blocked) and 28 (OT) yards. Christen was the first player to appear in the interview after the game, which promoted Jeff Jacobs of The Hartford Courant to write: “And then you remember this is a 22-year-old college kid, and he was hurting inside. No, Christen didn’t do his job as a kicker on this day. He did do his job as a stand-up young man. He was the first player in the interview room. He answered the questions with a forthrightness that should be the envy of some professional athletes 10 years his senior. And when he was finished, he shook hands with reporters.” Christen connected on field goals of 36, 47 and 19 yards vs. UMass and hit on two extra points. He connected on his one PAT attempt vs. N.C. State. He missed a 49-yard field goal against Maryland, but came back to make a 34-yarder. He also had three PAT vs. the Terps. He missed a 51-yarder against WMU, but

later made a 32-yarder and hit on all three of his PATs. He had a 29-yarder vs. Buffalo and hit on all three of his PAT attempts and against Rutgers he made a 19-yarder and missed a 51-yarder. He came back against Syracuse and connected on a 23-yard FG in the first quarter and scored UConn’s only points vs. USF with field goals of a career-long 50 yards and also a 37-yarder. He was sharp again in the win vs. Pittsburgh with a 29-yard field goal and three extra points. Wagner Already In The Books UConn redshirt junior Cole Wagner (York, Pa.) has already established himself as a top performer in the UConn record books. Wagner has been the Husky punter for the past two seasons and was a Second Team All-Conference pick last year. This season, 24 of his 62 punts have been downed inside the 20 yard line, including three of five punts on Oct. 6 vs. Rutgers. He is now second in UConn career history in punting average (min. 80 punts) with a 40.9 average, while the leader is Desi Cullen (2006-09) with 41.1 Wagner is third in career number of punts (221) and second in career yardage (9,046). Nick Williams Joins Elite Company UConn senior Nick Williams (East Windsor, N.J.) returned a punt 58 yards for a touchdown on Sept. 15 for the opening score of the Maryland game and then had a 80-yard punt return for a TD against Pittsburgh. The return vs. Pittsburgh was just the fifth in school history that went for 80 yards or more for a TD. Against Pittsburgh, he became UConn’s career leader in return yardage (punts, kickoffs and interceptions) with 2,389 – topping the mark of Larry Taylor (2004-07), who had 2,277. He is just the seventh player in UConn history to have two or more punt returns for a TD in a career. Williams becomes just the fifth UConn player in history, and only second in the “FBS Era”, to have both a kick¬off and punt return for a TD during a career. He joins Larry Taylor (2004-07), Jordan Younger (1996-99), Nick Giaquinto (1975-76) and Rich Hedgepeth (1974-76). Williams was named the BIG EAST Special Teams Player of the Week following his game vs. Maryland and Pittsburgh. He was the ECAC Special Teams Player of the Week following the Pittsburgh game. Williams has two KO returns for a touchdown – both coming in the 2010 season when he led the country in kickoff return average at 35.29 yards per return. He is second in school history in number of kickoff returns with 71 while Tory Taylor had 89 from 1995-98. He is first in net yards with 1,916. He is tied for first in KOR for touchdowns with two and is the career leader in kickoff return average at 27.0. Williams is fifth in UConn history in punt return average at 9.5.

Connecticut’s defense dominated the game, holding UMass to just 59 yards of offense and limiting the Minutemen to three first downs. UMass did not have an offensive snap in UConn territory and the three UMass first down tied a Husky school record for the least allowed. Redshirt sophomore Lyle McCombs rushed for 82 yards and a first-quarter touchdown, one of two by the offense. UConn also scored on a 37-yard interception return by redshirt senior cornerback Dwayne Gratz and on a blocked punt. Redshirt junior Chad Christen added field goals of 36, 47 and 19 yards for his first collegiate scores. This was the 72nd meeting between the two programs but the first since 1999, when both teams were Division I-AA. Whitmer, a transfer who threw for more than 3,000 yards in junior college last year, completed 15 of his 25 passes, but also threw two interceptions in his first game as a FBS starter. He hit his first three passes, including a 16-yarder to senior Nick Williams that set up the Huskies’ first score, a one-yard plunge by McCombs that capped a 12-play, 75-yard drive. Williams, who had more than 140 yards of total offense, returned the next UMass punt 34 yards, setting up UConn on the UMass 30. But safety Darren Thellen stopped the UConn drive - and made a few highlight shows - by diving out of bounds and tipping a Whitmer pass back to linebacker Tom Brandt, who made his first career interception. UConn had 372 yards of offense, but had three drives end with turnovers deep in UMass territory. Whitmer split time with redshirt sophomore Scott McCummings, who ran UConn’s version of the “Wildcat” offense. McCummings ran for 13 yards and a one-yard fourth-quarter touchdown that put UConn up 34-0. The defense got into the scoring column when Gratz stepped in front of UMass receiver Marken Michel and returned an interception 37 yards for a touchdown with 1:49 left in the first half. The special teams got their score with just over four minutes left in the third quarter. UConn’s Taylor Mack blocked a punt after Colter Johnson dropped the snap, and the Huskies’ Max DeLorenzo recovered in the end zone to give UConn a 27-0 lead. UMass never got its offense started, averaging just over 1 yard per play, and failing to get a first down until just 34 seconds before halftime. Senior defensive end Trevardo Williams (Bridgeport, Conn.), who had 12.5 sacks a year ago, got his first of the season late in the third quarter, one of two sacks by the Huskies on the day. The game was the first between Football Bowl Subdivision programs from New England since 2004, when UConn bested Boston College.

shirt senior quarterback Mike Glennon threw a 46-yard third-quarter touchdown to receiver Bryan Underwood and the Wolfpack held on to beat the University of Connecticut 10-7 on Saturday before a crowd of 34,202 at Rentschler Field. UConn and NC State are both 1-1 on the season. Glennon and UConn redshirt sophomore quarterback Chandler Whitmer each threw for 204 yards. But Whitmer also had three passes intercepted as the Wolfpack forced four Huskies turnovers. All-America cornerback David Amerson recorded his 14th career interception and knocked away a fourth-down pass on Connecticut’s final drive to secure the win. Glennon completed 15 of his 30 passes but was sacked six times. NC State had just 258 yards of offense, but held the Huskies to 239. UConn redshirt sophomore Lyle McCombs rushed for 60 yards and caught a 43-yard swing pass that set up his five-yard fourth-quarter touchdown run to pull UConn to within three points with seven minutes left. Glennon opened the next drive by hitting Tobias Palmer with two quick passes to move into UConn territory. But the Huskies defense stiffened at the 27, and the Wolfpack, heading into a stiff wind, decided to go for it on fourth-and-two. Glennon’s pass to Underwood fell incomplete, giving UConn one more drive with 3:17 remaining. Whitmer moved the Huskies from their own 27 to the 46 before being sacked by linebacker Brian Slay on third down and having Amerson knock down the fourth-down pass. A bizarre UConn turnover led to NC State’s touchdown. Safety Earl Wolff tipped a Whitmer pass into the hands of Huskies redshirt senior tight end John Delahunt, who then fumbled the ball back to Wolff. Three plays later, Underwood ran under a Glennon pass, catching it with his fingertips at the 18-yard line and running the rest of the way into the end zone for a 10-0 lead. Amerson picked off Whitmer’s pass on the next UConn play, but Niklas Sade’s 44-yard FG attempt went wide right. N.C. State’s three halfbacks - Mustafa Green, Tony Creecy and James Washington - combined for just 82 yards. The first points didn’t come until late in the second quarter, when NC State put together the game’s first sustained drive of 15 plays. But after moving 61 yards, a sack by senior Trevardo Williams forced the Wolfpack to settle for a 40-yard field goal from Sade with just under three minutes left in the first half. Connecticut’s best scoring chance before halftime came when Nick Williams’ 30-yard catch set the Huskies up at the N.C. State 37. But after a penalty, Whitmer tripped and fell while dropping back, and an 18-yard catch by Williams set up a fourth-and-2. UConn went for it rather than try a 47-yard field goal into a stiff wind, and Whitmer was sacked by linebacker Rickey Dowdy. UConn won the early battle for field possession, but could not capitalize. The Huskies failed to get a first down after starting their first three drives on their own 39, 48 and the NC State 45. The Huskies didn’t have a first down until the end of the quarter when NC State’s T.Y. McGill was called for roughing Whitmer.

Williams 1-3-4 1.0 1.0 turned a punt for another score as the University of Connecticut football Gratz 0-2-2 1 team defeated Maryland 24-21 Saturday before a crowd of 35,491 at Byrd Stadium. Both teams are now 2-1 on the season. McCombs rushed for 94 yards and his fourth-quarter touchdown. McCummings, who also came in at quarterback occasionally, ran for a three-yard score that gave the Huskies a 14-0 first-half lead. That came after Williams scored the game’s first touchdown on a 58-yard punt return. Connecticut started quickly in going against their former coach, Randy Edsall, who left after 2010 to come to Maryland (2-1). The Huskies outgained Maryland 148-80 in total yardage in the first half and controlled the ball for 18 minutes, 40 seconds. They also came up with timely plays, converting four of nine third-down situations to keep the Maryland offense off the field. Connecticut opened the scoring on Williams’ 58-yard punt return, and redshirt junior Chad Christen’s extra point gave the Huskies a 7-0 lead with 7:05 left in the first quarter. They took advantage of a short field to score their second touchdown, gaining possession at the Maryland 36 after the Terrapins were forced to punt from their four. McCummings’ three-yard run seven plays later made it 14-0 with 12:35 left in the half. Maryland’s offense finally awakened on the next possession. A key play came on fourth-and-four from the Connecticut 37, when quarterback Perry Hills completed an 18-yard pass to Stefon Diggs. One play later, Wes Brown ran for a 19-yard touchdown, and Brad Craddock’s extra point cut the lead to 14-7 with 10:24 remaining in the half. Connecticut redshirt sophomore linebacker Yawin Smallwood sacked Hills and forced a third-quarter fumble that redshirt sophomore Angelo Pruitt recovered for the Huskies at the Maryland 23. UConn couldn’t pick up a first down, but Christen kicked a 34-yard field goal with 3:29 left in the quarter for a 17-7 lead. Smallwood caused problems for the Terrapins throughout the game, with four of his 14 tackles going for losses, including three sacks. After a 75-yard drive, Maryland made it 17-14 on the second play of the fourth quarter when Hills threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs on third-and-te. The Terrapins’ Marcus Leak tipped the pass and Diggs grabbed it for a touchdown to make it 17-14. The Huskies answered on their next possession, driving 76 yards to take a 24-14 lead on McCombs’ 11-yard touchdown run. Hills ran for a 10-yard touchdown that cut the Connecticut lead to 24-21 with 4:39 left. After getting the ball back following a Huskies punt, Maryland reached the Connecticut 39 before its drive stalled with 17 seconds left.

Both teams are now 2-2 on the season. Carder completed 18 of 34 passes before leaving the game late in the third quarter after hitting his throwing hand on a helmet. Josh Schaffer caught six of Carder’s passes for 104 yards, including a 30yard touchdown early in the third quarter that put Western Michigan ahead 24-7.

But on the Huskies’ next drive, Desmond Bozeman returned a Whitmer fumble 53 yards for a touchdown. It was the Broncos’ first fumble recovery for a touchdown in three years. The score also pushed Western Michigan past the 10,000-point total in team history. Whitmer added a seven-yard TD pass to Davis with 54 seconds to play, but the Broncos recovered the onside kick. Antoin Scriven scored from one yard out early in the second quarter to cap an 88-yard drive and give Western Michigan a 10-0 lead. It marked his ninth career touchdown, all on one-yard runs.

This marked the first appearance at Western Michigan for a BIG EAST opponent. The start of the game was delayed by a half-hour because of lightning storms in the area.

Redshirt sophomore quarterback Chandler Whitmer, who completed passes to eight different receivers, threw for 227 yards and another score as UConn opened up a 24-7 lead in the third quarter and held on to win. Buffalo, which was playing without injured running back Branden Oliver, had the ball with a chance to tie late in the game, but failed to convert on fourth down at its own 39 yard line. Quarterback Alex Zordich threw for 220 yards and ran for 76 to lead the Bulls. UConn improved to 2-1 this season against the Mid-American conference. The Huskies beat Massachusetts in their season opener, but lost last week at Western Michigan. McCombs, UConn’s 166-pound tailback was the Huskies workhorse, carrying the ball 29 times for 97 yards. His two-yard fourth-down touchdown run gave the Huskies a 24-7 lead with just over five minutes left in the third quarter. But Buffalo went into its bag of tricks to pull within 24-14. Zordich completed a four-yard pass to Alex Neutz in the right flat, who then pitched the ball to running back Brandon Murie. He raced down the right sideline, breaking a Byron Jones’ tackle on the way to a 50-yard touchdown. The Bulls got within a touchdown on a 44-yard field goal by Patrick Clarke with 2:23 left after a 43 yard pass from Zordich to Neutz. UConn redshirt sophomore wide receiver Geremy Davis recovered the onside kick, but UConn punted it away three plays later giving Buffalo one more chance to tie. The Bulls took the ball at their own 20 and managed one first down. But Zordich was stuffed by redshirt sophomore linebacker Yawin Smallwood after a two-yard gain on a fourth-and-four from the 39, and the Huskies ran out the clock. Connecticut had big plays on back-to-back drives in the first half to take a 17-7 lead. Tight end Ryan Griffin’s 36-yard catch and run over the middle on the first play of the second quarter capped a 10-play 92-yard drive that gave the Huskies a 10-7 lead. The Huskies then went 75 yards in five plays the next time they had the ball. Hyppolite, who had just four carries coming into the game, took a pitchout on his fifth and went 50 yards off the right side for the Huskies second touchdown. Connecticut moved the ball well from the opening kickoff. A 24-yard pass from Whitmer to senior wide receiver Nick Williams set up a 29-yard field goal by redshirt senior Chad Christen that gave the Huskies a 3-0 lead. Buffalo responded with a 10 play, 75-yard drive that included a 30yard screen pass to Devin Campbell on a fourth down that set up Murie’s 4-yard touchdown run. The Bulls special teams then stepped up, executing a successful onside kick, before the offense stalled. UConn came in ranked fifth in the nation against the rush, allowing just 51 yards per game, but gave up 141 to the Bulls. Buffalo came into the game giving up 34 points a game.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. - It just didn’t look like anything was improving on Saturday when the Huskies ran into 22nd-ranked Rutgers and absorbed a Total Participants (53): 4 Foxx, 6 Smith, 8 19-3 setback in their Big East opener. The focus has been to improve the running game, but it was tougher Phillips, 11 McCummings, 13 Christen, 20 early on when Whitmer and his teammates began the game without top Allen, 21 Williams, 22 Adams, 23 Lee, 29 running back Lyle McCombs, who sat for the first quarter for breaking Mack, 32 Ashiru, 34 Kenney, 36 Osiecki, 41 team rules earlier in the week. Playing against a Rutgers team that leads Steg, 43 McCombs, 44 DeLorenzo, 45 Nor- the nation in rush defense, UConn wound up with 53 yards on 28 attempts, led by McCombs with 32 yards on 12 attempts. He came in averaging 90.4 ris, 46 Vann, 51 Willman, 52 Donohue 60 yards per game.

It was the first blocked field goal by UConn since 2004. The Scarlet Knights (5-0, 2-0 Big East) are off to their best start since 2006, and they avenged a bitter loss to the Huskies that ended last regular season and kept Rutgers from sharing the conference title.

football team by a 17-14 score before a Homecoming crowd of 37,279 at Rentschler Field. Temple senior running back Montel Harris, a transfer from Boston College, ran 30 times for 142 yards and a touchdown for the Owls, who improve to 3-2 overall and 2-0 in the BIG EAST. UConn is 3-4 overall and 0-2 in the BIG EAST and was held to just two first-quarter touchdowns. UConn redshirt junior kicker Chad Christen missed four field goal attempts, including a 28-yarder on UConn’s overtime possession. Husky redshirt sophomore Chandler Whitmer threw for 293 yards and both of UConn’s scores and redshirt freshman running back Max DeLorenzo had 91 yards rushing for the Huskies in his first career start. Temple trailed until sophomore Jalen Fitzpatrick caught a 14-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Chris Coyer with 19 seconds in regulation. The Owls have won two consecutive BIG EAST games for the first time in the program’s history. The touchdown was set up by a 33-yard catch on the left sideline by junior Deon Miller on a third-and-13 from the UConn 47, which followed a 13-yard catch by Harris on a fourth down that moved the ball into UConn territory. Temple had failed on fourth down on two other fourth-quarter drives. Christen had a chance to secure the win for UConn, but his 45-yard field-goal attempt with just under three minutes to play was blocked. He had missed earlier from 38 and 42 yards. Whitmer completed 10 of his first 12 passes, including a 15-yard strike over the middle to Mike Smith for a touchdown that gave the Huskies a 7-0 lead. On his next drive, he found redshirt senior tight end Ryan Griffin over the middle for a 42-yard score. Whitmer completed 22 of 39 passes for 293 yards and no interceptions. He had thrown four interceptions at Rutgers and came in with 10 on the season and just four touchdown passes. Coyer, who threw for just 132 yards, also ran for 51 for the Owls. The Huskies kept Temple pinned in its own territory for most of the first half. The Owls managed just eight yards and one first down on their first four possessions. But they had 113 on their next two. Harris broke a 37-yard run and a 24-yarder for a touchdown to cut the deficit to 14-7. The Owls were driving again before Harris was stripped of the ball by linebacker redshirt sophomore Yawin Smallwood at Connecticut’s 26-yard line. Both teams played without their top running backs. Temple’s Matt Brown, suffered an ankle injury last week, and UConn redshirt sophomore Lyle McCombs sprained his wrist. Without McCombs, the Huskies managed just 88 rushing yards. Harris ran for 133 yards in the Owls’ win last week over South Florida. The win gave Temple coach Steve Addazio a victory over his mentor. UConn’s Paul Pasqualoni was the head coach at Western Connecticut and hired Addazio to his first assistant coaching job there in 1985. The win gave Temple its first road win of the season. The Huskies came in ranked sixth in the nation in total defense, giving up just over 82 yards per game on the ground.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The Univeristy of Connecticut football team fell 40-10 at Syracuse Friday night before a crowd of 36,715 at the Carrier Dome. UConn redshirt sophomore quarterback Chandler Whitmer had a solid game as he threw for 291 yards and a touchdown. Syracuse’s Jerome Smith finished with a career-high 133 yards rushing on 19 carries, SU quarterback Ryan Nassib was 14 of 20 for 251 yards passing and Ross Krautman kicked four field goals for the Orange. The Orange focused during practice this week on creating turnovers and the hard work paid off in the second quarter. Orange free safety Durell Eskridge blitzed, forcing a fumble by Whitmer, and Cameron Lynch recovered for the Orange near midfield. It was the 17th turnover of the season for the Huskies and the Orange capitalized. Nassib converted two critical third-down passes to keep the ensuing drive alive, hitting tight end Beckett Wales for 18 yards over the middle and Lemon for 17 yards in traffic. That set up a first-and-goal at the 10, and Adonis Ameen-Moore scored on fourth-and-inches for a 13-3 lead midway through the second quarter. The Huskies finally got on track just before halftime. Whitmer hit senior wide receiver Michael Smith for 18 yards on a slant and followed with a 23-yard completion to redshirt sophomore wide receiver Shakim Phillips After a pass-interference call against the Orange, Whitmer ran right, then turned and hit red shirt senior tight end Ryan Griffin all alone on the left side for a 32-yard score to make it 13-10 with 3:39 left. Undaunted, Syracuse drove 77 yards for another touchdown, keyed by Lemon’s brilliant 41-yard catch and run to the UConn 2. Nassib then rolled right and hit Wales for a 3-yard score and a 20-10 halftime lead. Syracuse put the game out of reach in the third. After Lemon’s 68-yard reception put the ball at the 2, Prince-Tyson Gulley scored on a 3-yard run. Krautman kicked a 42-yard field goal, his third of the game, for a 30-10 lead midway through the period, and Lemon capped his brilliant night with an 11-yard reception over the middle with 2 minutes left in the period.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. - Redshirt sophomore running back Lyle McCombs ran for 120 yards and a touchdown as the University of Connecticut football team beat Pittsburgh 24-17 on Friday night before a crowd of 33,503 at Rentschler Field. Sophomore quarterback Chandler Whitmer threw for 213 yards and a score for the Huskies. UConn is now 4-6 overall and 1-4 in the BIG EAST while Pittsburgh is also 4-6 and 1-4. Senior Nick Williams returned a punt 80 yards for a touchdown. Tino Sunseri threw for 302 yards and two touchdowns for Pitt, which fell short in its attempt to overcome a 24-0 halftime deficit. The Panthers, like UConn, must now win out to become bowl eligible. McCombs, who ran for more than 1,100 yards and seven touchdowns as a freshman, had just 547 yards and four scores coming into the game. He carried the ball 29 times in this one. The Huskies held Pitt running back Ray Graham to 41 yards on 15 carries after he rushed for 172 against Notre Dame a week ago in an overtime loss. UConn scored on its first possession when Whitmer hit redshirt senior tight end Ryan Griffin with a four-yard pass to cap an 11-play, 75yard march. A staunch UConn defense, ranked ninth nationally, forced Pitt to punt on its first possession, setting the tone for the rest of the half. UConn extended the lead to 10-0 a little over three minutes later on a 29-yard field by redshirt junior Chad Christen. The Huskies opened a 17-0 lead on Williams’ punt return midway through the second quarter. McCombs made it 24-0 on a two-yard plunge, giving the Huskies their first rushing touchdown since a Sept. 29 win over Buffalo. While the UConn offense rolled in the first half, the Huskies’ defense, led by redshirt senior linebacker Sio Moore pressured Sunseri throughout the first 30 and blanketed the Pitt receivers, forcing Sunseri to scramble or throw out of bounds. It also didn’t help that several of Sunseri’s passes were dropped. The Panthers didn’t score until Kevin Harper’s 42-yard field goal in the third quarter. Harper’s 44-yard attempt in the first half hit the right upright. Pittsburgh opened the fourth quarter by going 72 yards in just six plays. Back-to-back passes from Sunseri to Devin Street picked up 46 yards and the Pitt quarterback then found Drew Carswell in the left flat for an 11-yard touchdown strike. UConn had a chance to put the game away after a 44-yard run set the Huskies up at the Pittsburgh 14, but Whitmer threw an interception in the end zone to end the threat. Sunseri took over and drove the Panthers 80 yards in just over two minutes, capped by an 18-yard touchdown pass to Mike Shanahan with 2:46 left. The Panthers never got the ball back as Whitmer hit redshirt sophomore Shakim Phillips for a key 17-yard completion on a thirdand-9 on UConn’s next drive and the Huskies ran out the clock.
