successful one on Sept. 3 as the Huskies topped Fordham of the FCS. The

Cheshire, Conn., native was named the 28th head football coach in UConn his-

tory on January 14, 2011.

Pasqualoni has had a highly-successful career on all levels of football -- profes-

sional, college and high school. He was the head coach at Western Connecticut

from 1982-86 and led the team to the NCAA Division II playoffs in 1985.

He had an extremely successful tenure as the head coach at Syracuse from

1991-2004. Pasqualoni led the Orange to 107 wins, four BIG EAST titles and

a 6-3 postseason record. Among his bowl appearances at Syracuse were two

Fiesta Bowls (1992 and ‘97) and an Orange Bowl (‘98).

Pasqualoni� is� the� all-time� winningest� coach� in� BIG�EAST�Conferenceleague�wins�with�62�and�overall�wins�with�109. He is just one of two league

coaches in history to win four BIG EAST Championships. His overall college

coaching record stands at 143-79-1 (34-17 at WCSU, 107-59-1 at Syracuse and 2-

3 at UConn).

For the previous five seasons, Pasqualoni had served on NFL staffs -- with

Dallas in 2005-07 and ‘10 and with Miami in 2008-09.

His first coaching job was an assistant coach at Cheshire HS from 1972-75. He

is a 1972 Penn State graduate.

WEST�VIRGINIA�COACH�DANA�HOLGORSEN

Dan�Holgorsen� is in his first season in charge of the West Virginia program. In

2010, Holgorsen was the offensive coordinator and QB coach at Oklahoma Statea

as the team posted an 11-2 record and won the Alamo Bowl.

He held the same position at Houston from 2008-09 and was an assistant coach

at Texas Tech from 2000-2007. His coaching stops have also taken him to Valdosta

State (1993-95), Mississippi College (1996-98) and Wingate (1999).

SERIES NOTES

HUSKIES�VS.�WEST�VIRGINIA�ALL-TIME

Saturday’s game is the eighth meeting all-time for the Huskies and Mountaineers on the grid-

iron with WVU leading 6-1. UConn defeated the Mountaineers last year at Rentschler Field by

a score of 16-13 in overtime. Prior to the game, UConn had posted a least one win vs. every

BIG EAST team except for West Virginia. The win last year propelled UConn to finish the reg-

ular season with a five-game winning streak and advance to its first-ever Bowl Championship

Series game.

In the win last year, Dave�Teggart kicked a 27-yard field goal in the first overtime for the

win. West Virginia fumbled the ball to lead off the overtime. Jordan�Todman had 113 yards

of rushing for the Huskies, who trailed 10-3 at halftime. Zach�Frazer�was 18 of 29 in the air

for 166 yards.

UConn tied the game on a 24-yard TD rush by Todman with 6:17 left to go in the third quar-

ter and the two teams traded field goals to send the game into OT. West Virginia lost four fum-

bles in the game.

In 2008, the Huskies lost to West Virginia by a 28-24 score in Morgantown on Oct. 24.

UConn led at the half by a 17-14 count and trailed 21-17 after three quarters. UConn took a

24-21 lead with 3:50 to go on an 88-yard TD reception by Marcus�Easley. WVU struck back

quickly for the winning score as Noel�Devine went for paydirt on a 56-yard TD run with 2:10

left to play.

WVU won 35-13 victory on November 1, 2008 at Rentschler Field. UConn led by a score

of 13-7 at halftime -- the first time the Huskies ever had a halftime lead over the Mountaineers

-- and also had a 10-0 lead in the game. Jock�Sanders scored three times in the third quar-

ter as WVU took control of the game. The loss for the Huskies broke an 11-game winning

streak at Rentschler Field. Cody�Endres was making his second career start and was 17 of

37 for 166 yards, but he was intercepted

Conference in terms of academic performance by its student-athletes.

UConn�was�the�top�team�in�the�NCAA’s�Graduation�Success�Rate�(GSR)of�both�October�2008�and�’09�among�league�schools.�The�Huskies�latestGSR,� released� in� October� 2010,� UConn� was� third� in� the� BIG�EAST�andwithin�four�points�of�the�second�place�team.

The UConn football program also had the highest NCAA GSR for African-

American student-athletes among all state universities that participated in a

bowl game in 2008. In five of the past seven years, including 2007, ‘08 and ‘09,

UConn was recognized by the American Football Coaches

Association for its high graduation rate.

UConn’s�overall�GSR� in�2009�was� the� third-highest�of� themore� than� 50� state� universities� that� participated� in� a� bowlgame.

In 2011, the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) for the

UConn football team was an impressive 953 over a four-year

cycle, with a one-year mark of 959 for the 2009-10 academic year.

HUSKIES�VS.�THE�BIG�EAST

UConn owns an all-time mark of 22-26 in BIG�EAST�Conferencegames since joining the league for football in 2004. The Huskies

posted their best conference record with a 5-2 mark in 2007

and ‘10.

UConn’s current five-game BIG EAST Conference games

winning streak is the longest in school history.

HUSKIES�ON�THE�ROAD�SINCE�2002

The Huskies have put together a 22-29 road record since 2002.

In non-conference�road�affairs over that same span, Connecticut

has posted a mark of 17-11 and has won�nine�of�its�last�13�suchgames.

HUSKIES�VS.�NON-CONFERENCE�FOES�SINCE�2002

Connecticut boasts a 42-20�record against non-conference oppo-

nents in the regular season since making the move to the FBS in

2002.

The Huskies have won 17 of their last 24 regular season

non-league games overall with the only blemishes coming via

a one-point loss at Virginia (17-16) in 2007, losses to North

Carolina in 2008 and ‘09, Michigan and Temple in ‘10 and

Vanderbilt, Iowa State and Western Michigan in ‘11.

UConn has posted the following records in non-conference reg-

ular 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)

and 2-3 (2011).

HUSKIES�IN�THE�NFL

As the NFL held its training camps, there were a total of 14

Huskies in NFL camps before final cuts were made. UConn had 11former players that were on NFL rosters in 2009 (a school high)

and that number has been matched as 11 former Huskies are cur-

rently on NFL rosters.

The 2009 NFL Draft made history for the Huskies as four UConn

players were selected in the first 63 selections. UConn is the only

BIG EAST school to have four players picked that early since the

league was reorganized in 2005. UConn had two players selected

in the 2010 NFL Draft and four more in ‘11.

The�number�of�former�UConn�players�on�NFL�teams�is�now11. They are:

* Quarterback Dan�Orlovsky of the Indianapolis Colts, who is in

his seventh year in the NFL and played four years in Detroit and

two with Houston.

* Offensive tackle William�Beatty of the New York Giants, who is

entering his third year and has six starts over the past two seasons

for the Giants.

* Running back Donald�Brown, who is entering his third year with

the Indianapolis Colts. He was UConn’s first All-American in the

BCS era and the Huskies’ first NFL First Round Draft Pick. He’s

with the Indianapolis Colts and played in the Super Bowl his rook-

ie year.

* Defensive back Darius�Butler, who played the past two seasons

for the New England Patriots, was waived by the team and then

signed by the Carolina Panthers

* Defensive back Tyvon�Branch, who is entering his fourth year

with the Oakland Raiders. He has started all 16 games for the

Raiders over the past two years.

* Wide receiver Marcus�Easley with the Buffalo Bills, who missed

all of last season (rookie) with an injury, and is on the injured

reserve list again.

* Offensive guard Donald�Thomas with the New England Patriots,

who is in his fourth year in the league and has also played with the

Dolphins and the Lions. He was picked up by the Patriots earlier

this season.

FB, Anthony�Sherman, a fifth round pick of the Cardinals

TB, Jordan�Todman, a sixth round pick of the Chargers

LB, Scott� Lutrus, who signed a free agent contract with the

Jaguars and was released and was then signed by the Rams on

the practice squad.

LB, Lawrence�Wilson, a sixth round pick of the Panthers, who

was cut by the team and later resigned for the practice squad ros-

ter.

HUSKIES�IN�THE�CFL

In addition, there are four former UConn players in the CanadianFootball�League this year.

Martin�Bedard (Montreal Alouettes) is entering his third year and

has been part of two Grey Cup championship teams.

Larry�Taylor�is in is fourth year in the league and is now with Calgary

after spending the first three with Montreal. He was the 2009 CFL

Special Teams Player of the Year.

Julius�Williams, who played at UConn through 2008, is in his first

year with the Edmonton Eskimos.

Jordan�Younger is in his eighth season in the league -- all with

Toronto.

HUSKIES�ON�THE�REBOUND

UConn is 27-16 in games following a loss since Oct. 26, 2002.

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 81 scoring drives of at least 80 yards (including

two on Saturday vs. WMU) while the Husky defense has surren-

dered just 56 such marches -- including two by Michigan and

Oklahoma and one by Buffalo and Cincinnati last year. UConn

had two 80-yard scoring drives vs. Fordham in the 2011 opener

and one vs. Buffalo and Western Michigan.

UConn also holds a 20-6 advantage over its opponents in the num-

ber of 90-yard and over drives since becoming a I-A program.

Michigan had a 96-yarder last year. UConn had a 93-yard drive on

Saturday vs. Western Michigan.

HUSKIES�DOMINATING�ON�BOTH�SIDES�OF�THE�BALL

Over the past 106 games, UConn has outgained its opponent 64times. This stretch, like many UConn trends, dates back to a 28-24

loss at Vanderbilt on Oct. 26, 2002.

CONNECTICUT’S�FOUR�CAPTAINS��

The UConn team selected four team captains for the 2011 season,

Kendall�Reyes (for the second-consecutive year) and Kashif�Moorewith Moe�Petrus and Blidi�Wreh-Wilson.

legiate games. McCombs also had 136 yards against Western

Michigan -- including a 65 yarder. He is currenlty the 31st leading

rusher in the country at 100.40 yards per game.

THE�QUARTERBACK�RACE

Connecticut entered the 2011 season without a quarterback who

has started a collegiate game and with only one quarterback who

has played in a collegiate game.

UConn started three different QBs last year, who have all moved

on from the program -- graduated Zach Frazer with ten starts,

including the last six of the 2010 season; Cody Endres with two

starts and Mike Box with one.

Here’s a quick look at the three Husky QBs who are competing for

playing time this year:

* Senior Johnny�McEntee�(Fullerton, Calif.) -- Has put some sepa-

ration in the QB race with his performances vs. Buffalo and Western

Michigan...walk-on who had played in two games over the past two

seasons...gained international fame last winter with his “trick shot”

video on YouTube...the video now has over six million hits...started

the Fordham game and was 8 of 12 in the air for 113 yards...started

the Vanderbilt game and was 10 of 27 in the air for 99 yards and

three interceptions and was sacked four times...started the Iowa

State game and was 13 of 30 in the air for 188 yards with one inter-

ception...was 12 of 21 in the air for 213 yards and his first two career

TD passes...did not throw an interception...was 22 of 39 in the air for

* Redshirt freshman Scott� McCummings� (Natick, Mass.) --

Redshirt freshman who attended same high school as Doug

Flutie...had over 2,000 yards of passing in senior year with over

1,000 yards of rushing...passed for 15 TDs as a senior and rushed

for another 12...was 1 for 1 in the air vs. Fordham with a 55-yard TD

pass and also ran the ball seven times for 23 yards...carried the ball

five times in the Vanderbilt game..was 1 for 3 in Iowa State game

with a 39-yard TD pass to Kashif Moore....had five carries for seven

yards vs. Buffalo...had five carries for 17 yards vs. Western

Michigan.

* Freshman Mike�Nebrich (Burke, Va.) -- Highly-decorated Virginia

high school player who enrolled at UConn for the spring 2011

semester...as a senior, broke the Virginia state record for all-purpose

yards with 4,968 and scored 59 TDs...had 11 yards of rushing vs.

vs. Vanderbilt...was 1 for 3 in the air for two yards vs. Iowa

State...also had four carries vs. Iowa State...was 0 for 1 in the air vs.

Bufffalo and has been playing the first series of the second quarter.

EXPERIENCE�ON�THE�LINE

Whoever gets the nod at quarterback for the Huskies plays behind

an experienced offensive line.

Senior center Moe�Petrus (St. Laurent, Que.) has started 43 con-

secutive games for the Huskies -- and the last 30 at center.

Senior right tackle Mike�Ryan (Tamaqua, Pa.) returns after earn-

ing All-BIG EAST first team honors last year and has started 26

games over the past two years.

Junior Adam� Masters (Bethesda, Md.) plays right guard and

started ten games last year -- the final six at right tackle.

Sophomore Kevin�Friend� (Warrentown, Va.) plays at left guard

and had a pair of starts last year.





GOING�TO�THE�TIGHT�END

As the offensive philosophy of head coach Paul�Pasqualoni and his

offensive coordinator George DeLeone develops at UConn, throw-

ing to the tight end has obviously been emphasized.

The third-leading receiver on the team is redshirt junior RyanGriffin (Londonderry, N.H.), who has 12 receptions this year for 228

yards and a TD. He had four receptions for 73 yards vs. Western

Michigan.

(ISIAH)�MOORE�HITTING�HIS�STRIDE

UConn senior wide receiver Isiah�Moore (Cambridge, Mass) had a

career-night vs. Iowa State as he had eight catches for 143 yards for

two career highs. He also had a 41-yard reception, which topped his

career high. His previous single-game career highs were four recep-

tions in four different games, 76 receiving yards at Baylor in 2009

and a 28-yard long reception in that same game.

He backed that game up with another good game vs. Buffalo as

he was UConn’s leading receiver with four receptions for 49 yards

and a long of 16. He had two catches for 18 yards vs. Western

Michigan.

Moore is UConn’s leading receiver with 16 catches for 246 yards

this season.

(KASHIF)�MOORE�HITTING�HIS�STRIDE

UConn senior wide receiver Kashif�Moore (Burlington, N.J.) had a

career day for himself on Saturday vs. Western Michigan. He set

career highs with eight receptions for 112 yards vs. the Broncos. He

also had a career-high two receiving TDs in the game. He is the sec-

ond leading receiver on the team with 16 receptions and leads the

team with three receving TDs.

WILLIAMS�BACK�ON�RECEIVING�END

UConn junior Nick�Williams (East Windsor, N.J.) had been mak-

ing headlines over his career mostly in the kickoff return depart-

ment. Although he was always part of the WR group, Williams led

the country in kickoff returns last year and was a First Team All-BIG

EAST pick in that spot.

UConn head coach Paul Pasqualoni has been using Williams

more in a receiver role this year, but entering the Sept. 24 game

vs. Buffalo, Williams still only had two career receptions -- both of

them in 2009.

Williams broke out of that with a pair of catches vs. the Bulls for

113 yards, including his first career receiving TD. Williams first

reception of the night was a 64-yarder from McEntee late in the

first half that set up a UConn TD with 15 seconds to go to give the

Huskies a 10-3 halftime lead.

He then had his first career TD reception on a 49-yard catch

from McEntee with 4:52 left in the game to seal the UConn win.

Williams had one catch for 26 yards vs. Western Michigan.

DEFENSE NOTESLOTS�OF�STARTS,�STARTERS�BACK

Connecticut returns one of the most experienced defenses in the

country and in the BIG EAST Conference this season.

On the defensive line, UConn returns players that started 45

games in 2010 and 93 for their career.

The linebackers have just nine career and nine starts from ‘10

returning.

The secondary is also very experienced with 45 starts back from

last year and 71 for their careers.

For totals, the UConn defense has 100 starts returning from last

season and a total of 173 career starts.

JENNINGS�GETS�FIRST�CAREER�START

Connecticut redshirt junior Teddy�Jennings (Dayton, Ohio) made

his first career start against Fordham at defensive end. He respond-

ed by making eight tackles -- with 2.5 for a loss. He enjoyed anoth-

er outstanding game vs. Vanderbilt as he made four tackles with 2.5

for a loss and he had three tackles vs. Iowa State. He had two tack-

les vs. Buffalo with a sack.

Jennings moved into the starting lineup after playing in 13 games

over the past two years as a reserve. He started in place of the

injured Jesse� Joseph, who did not dress for the first time in his

career vs. Fordham. The junior had started in 25 games over the

past two years, missing one game, but dressed for it. Joseph did

make his 2011 debut vs. Buffalo and had five tackles himself and

then had three vs. Western Michigan.

SMALLWOOD�IMPRESSES�EARLY

Connecticut redshirt freshman Yawin� Smallwood (Worcester,

Mass.) is currently the second-leading tackler on the UConn team

with 42 tackles. He has started all five games for UConn in his first

collegiate season and also seems to have a knack for making the

big play.

Against Vanderbilt, he returned a fumble 64 yards for a touchdown

and then had a 28-yard interception return vs. Buffalo. The intercep-

tion vs. the Bulls came at a key time as it came on a third and goal

play from the UConn five with the Huskies nursing a 10-3 lead.

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES

TEGGART�CAREER�LEADER�IN�FIELD�GOALS,�POINTS

Redshirt senior Dave�Teggart (Northborough, Mass.) has connect-

ed on all 113 of his extra point attempts during his career -- includ-

ing 36 in 2010 and 47 in 2009. The 47-straight extra points from

2009 is a school record while his 36 from 2010 is third.

His 58 career field goals is a school record, which he broke

with a 24-yard FG vs. Cincinnati in 2010.

His�113�extra�points�is�tied�for�second�in�school�history�whileMatt�Nuzie�had�124�from�2003-06.�His�288�career�points�is�firstin� school� history� as� he� topped� that� record� in� the� game� atVanderbilt.Teggart’s�25�field�goals�last�year�was�a�school�single-season

record.�He had a total of 14 field goals in 2009 which is tied as the

sixth-highest in school history while his 13 as a freshman is seventh.

Teggart recorded what is arguably the biggest play in school his-

tory in the regular season finale of 2010 as he kicked a 52-yard field

goal with 17 seconds left to play to lift UConn to a 19-16 win over

USF that sent the Huskies to their first BCS game in school history.

Earlier in the fourth quarter of that game, he kicked a 50-

yarder.

Teggart�matched�his�USF�yardages�vs.�Iowa�State�(Sept.16)�as�he�tied�his�career�high�with�a�52-yarder�in�the�firstquarter�and�added�a�50-yard�in�the�third.

Teggart kicked a 27-yard field goal in overtime to lift UConn

to a 16-13 win over West Virginia on Oct. 29 of last year. Hehad� a� total� of� three� field� goals� in� that� game� and� wasnamed� the�BIG�EAST�Special� Teams�Player� of� the�Weekfor�his�efforts.

Those “final play” game-winners were the second and third

of his career as he ended the 2009 regular season in fine form

as he booted a 42-yard field goal as time expired to give the

Huskies a 29-27 win over USF.

Dating back to 2009, Teggart has kicked a field goal in

18 of the past 20 games. Teggart kicked a 29-yard field goal

with 1:10 to go that tied the game vs. Notre Dame (Nov. 21,

2009) -- a contest the Huskies eventually won in overtime.

Teggart�is�the�first�kicker�in�school�history�to�success-fully�convert�his�first�11�field�goal�attempts.

NICK�WILLIAMS�AND�KO�RETURNSUConn sophomore Nick�Williams (East Windsor, N.J.) had a

breakout night in his receiving career against Buffalo on Sept.

24, but remains the primary UConn kickoff and punt returner.

Williams led the country in kickoff returns last year with

35.29 yards per return and he returned two kickoffs for TDs in

2010. Against Pittsburgh he returned a kickoff 95 yards for a

touchdown. Williams also had a 100-yard KO return for a

touchdown vs. Rutgers -- the fourth in school history.

Williams�becomes�just�the�second�Husky�ever�to�havetwo� KO� returns� for� a� TD� in� a� career -- joined by Tyvon

Branch, who had both of his in 2007.

This year he has 14 kickoff returns for an average of 21.6

yards per return and nine punt returns for an average of 4.8

STADIUM/ATTENDANCE NOTES

RENTSCHLER�FIELD

The Huskies moved into brand new Rentschler Field in East

Hartford for the 2003 season. Conveniently 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, is named for that company’s founder, Frederick

Rentschler. The stadium boasts a capacity of 40,000 with 38

luxury suites in a massive press box tower which helps enclose

the natural grass field.

A�HOT�TICKET

Swelling interest in the Husky football program as it gradually

moved up into BIG EAST play can perhaps be best evidenced

by the rise in attendance. UConn sold 28,000 season tickets in

2008 and sold its entire allotment of student season tickets at

4,700. These figures are staggering sums considering that the

entire 2001 season ticket base was around 4,000. In 2002, the

number reached 11,300 in the final season of Memorial

Stadium. The burgeoning season ticket base more than dou-

bled to 24,000 for the inaugural season at Rentschler Field and

rose to 28,000 a year later in 2004. UConn reached an all-time

high of 32,000 season tickets in 2005.



FAN�NO.�2,000,000On� Friday,� Sept.� 16,� UConn� welcomed� the� 2,000,000� fans� toRenstchler�Field�in�its�history.�That lucky fan was Shane Buzzell

of Manchester, Conn., and he received a variety of prizes and

made an appearance on the field.

The Huskies have sold out 29 of their first 54 dates at Rentschler

Field, including a stretch of 12�in�a�row.

UConn has played to 96.0-pct. of capacity all-time there, draw-

ing 2,071,853 fans, or an average of 38,400 per game.

RENTSCHLER�FIELD�PROVES�FRIENDLY�FOR�HUSKIES

The Huskies went 7-0 at home in 2007 at Rentschler Field and also

6-0 last year. UConn’s 3-4 mark at home in 2006 was its only sub-

.500 record at Rentschler Field.

The seven home wins in 2007 set a school record for a single sea-

son which was previously set in 2004.

Prior to the Iowa State loss, UConn�had�won�nine�consecutivegames�at�Rentschler�Field.

UConn presently stands at 40-14� all-time� at� Rentschler� Fieldincluding a 23-6�mark�in�non-conference�games.

MICHIGAN,�TENNESSEE�WILL�VISIT�RENTSCHLER�FIELD

Following UConn’s trip to Ann Arbor on Sept. 4, the Wolverines will

come to Rentschler Field on Sept. 21, 2013 to take on the Huskies.

UConn will also play a home-and-home series with Tennessee

beginning in 2015 with the Volunteers coming to Rentschler Field on

Sept. 26 with a return trip to Knoxville on Sept. 3, 2016.

Other upcoming non-conference opponents coming to Rentschler

Field include Iowa State (2011), North Carolina State (2012),

Maryland (2013), Central Florida (2014) and Virginia (2106). UConn

has now played host to non-conference opponents from the Atlantic

Coast Conference, Big 10, Big XII and Southeastern Conference at

Rentschler Field.

EAST�HARTFORD,�Conn.�-�Freshman running back Lyle McCombs(StatenIsland, N.Y) rushed for 141 yards and four touchdowns in his first collegiategame as the University of Connecticut football team won their 2011 seasonopener, 35-3, over Fordham before a crowd of 34,562 at Rentschler Field.

The game marked the Connecticut debut for head coach PaulPasqualoni, who tied Frank Beamer of Virginia Tech for the most overall winsby a BIG EAST coach. They both have 108 victories. Pasqualoni was thefirst Connecticut football coach to win his debut since 1923.

The Huskies initial drive ended in a punt after two first downs, but ontheir second possession began to force their will on their FCS opponent afterforcing a Fordham three-and-out. A six-play, 58-yard drive was capped by aMcCombs two-yard run. The key play on the drive was a 24-yard pass fromJohnny McEntee (Fullerton, Calif.) to Isiah Moore(Cambridge, Mass.).

The Huskies started the redshirt junior McEntee, but Pasqualoni playedthree signal callers in the contest. Redshirt freshman Scott McCummings(Natick, Mass.) and true freshman Michael Nebrich(Burke, Va.) both playedwell in their Connecticut unveilings.

Early in the second quarter, the Huskies took over from their own 20 andMcCombs had his first big play from scrimmage, rambling 60 yards beforebeing caught at the Ram two-yard line. Two plays later, McCombs scoredfrom the one and Connecticut had a 14-0 lead.

The Connecticut defense, which was spectacular all day, got its firstturnover of the season when redshirt freshman safety Byron Jones (NewBritain, Conn.) picked off a Peter Maetzold pass. On the next play fromscrimmage, McCummings hit redshirt junior tight end RyanGriffin(Londonderry, N.H.) with a beautiful 55-yard catch-and-run off of playaction to put the Huskies ahead by three scores.

The Huskies kept that 21-0 lead until midway through the third quarterwhen McCombs capped drives with scoring runs of five- and one-yard.McCombs' four touchdowns was the first time a Connecticut footballerachieved that feat since Jordan Todmanturned the trick against Cincinnati in2009.

McEntee completed eight-of-12 passes for 113 yards, while Nebrich wasthree-of-eight, for 60 yards and one interception. The McCummings scoringpass to Griffin was his only attempt of the game. Griffin set a career-standardwith his 97 receiving yards.

The Connecticut defense held the Rams to just 169 total yards ofoffense and was led by redshirt junior linebacker Jory Johnson(Mobile, Ala.),who had 11 tackles. Redshirt junior defensive end Teddy Jennings (Dayton,Ohio) had 2.5 tackles for loss.

EAST�HARTFORD,�Conn.�-The University of Connecticut football team out-gained Iowa State 343-341 for the game, but a fourth quarter score for theCyclones spelled a 24-20 loss for the Huskies in front of 37,195 atRentschler Field. Connecticut redshirt senior wide receiver Isiah Moore recorded career-highs in receptions and yards with eight catches and 143 yards. The winning score for Iowa State came with 9:08 left in the game whenDarius Reynolds leaped over a pair of UConn defenders and raced acrossthe goal line for a 20-yard touchdown reception from junior quarterbackSteele Jantz. Jantz threw three interceptions in the first quarter but finishedwith 200 yards. The Huskies used a trio of quarterbacks with redshirt junior JohnnyMcEntee taking the majority of snaps as he went 13-30 for a season-high188 yards. Redshirt freshman Lyle McCombs led the UConn running gamewith 46 yards on 18 rushes. Sophomore Shontrelle Johnson and redshirtsophomore James White split the carries for ISU with 14 apiece. Johnsonwent for 65 yards, while White ran for 44. Connecticut opened the game with a 10-play, 57-yard drive that result-ed in a touchdown for redshirt freshman quarterback Scott McCummings.McCummings, in the game for just his second play, was initially ruled downat the one-yard line, but after an official review it was determined that the ballcrossed the goal line prior to his knee hitting the ground. For the game,McCummings rushed for 38 yards on 10 carries. The two teams would trade turnovers several times in the remainingminutes of the first quarter as redshirt junior Dwayne Gratz picked off Jantzon the Cyclone's first play from scrimmage. Gratz returned the ball 19 yardsto the ISU 41-yard line, but UConn gave the ball back on the very next playas McEntee was intercepted by Steve Ruempolhamer. Jantz was intercepted again, with less than three minutes to play in thefirst, by redshirt freshman Byron Jones, which set up a 52-yard field goal byredshirt senior kicker Dave Teggart to put the Huskies up 10-0. For Teggart,it tied his career long. Before the end of the first, UConn would force a thirdturnover as Jory Johnson grabbed a ball off a pass broken up by linebackerSio Moore. Despite outgaining Iowa State 101-4 in the first, Connecticut went intohalftime up only 10-7 as the Cyclones held a 114-13 advantage in the sec-ond quarter. ISU got on the board when James White broke loose for a 26-yard touchdown run to cut the Huskies lead to three. The Cyclones went on top early in the third quarter when White flippedthe ball to junior WR Josh Lenz on a reverse, who threw a deep ball forReynolds to take into the end zone. UConn came back with a 50-yard fieldgoal from Teggart, the second time in his career he converted two field goalsof 50 yard. With 6:44 left to play in the quarter, Iowa State added to its leadwith a 36-yard field goal by senior kicker Zach Guyer, to go up 17-13.��Connecticut� regained� the� lead� early� in� the� fourth� quarter� asMcCummings� hooked� up� with� redshirt� senior� wide� receiver� KashifMoorefor�a�39-yard�touchdown�to�take�a�20-17�lead.�McCummings�hascompleted�two�passes�on�the�season,�both�for�touchdowns.��On�the�defensive�side�of�the�ball,�junior�linebacker�Jake�Knott�made11� tackles� and� forced� one� fumble� for� the� Cylcones,� while� Johnsonadded�10�tackles�to�go�with�his�interception�for�the�Huskies.

EAST�HARTFORD,�Conn.-�Johnny McEntee threw for 300 yards and fourtouchdowns for the University of Connecticut football team as the Huskieslost to Western Michigan by a 38-31 score on Saturday before a crowd of36,648 at Rentschler Field. Kashif Moore had two touchdown catches and112 yards receiving and Lyle McCombs added 136 yards rushing and a 26-yard touchdown reception for the Huskies. Alex Carder threw for a career-high 479 yards and five touchdowns tolead Western Michigan. Two of those scores were caught by Jordan White,who had his fourth 100-yard receiving game of the season, catching 12 ballsfor 173 yards. He was one of three Bronco receivers to go over the centurymark. Robert Arnheim had 113 yards and Chleb Ravenell added 123 and twofourth-quarter touchdowns, including a 41-yard catch that turned out to bethe game winner. After making a 26-yard catch at the Western Michigan 13-yard line with45 seconds left, UConn tight end Ryan Griffin fumbled. UConn scored the first of the fourth quarter's five touchdowns, whenMcEntee found McCombs open behind the Broncos' blitzing linebackers fora 26-yard score to give UConn its only lead at 24-17. But Carder led theBroncos right back on a 9-play 80-yard drive, finding White in the end zonefor a 6-yard touchdown that tied the game. The Broncos held UConn to a three-and-out, and then went 62-yards totake the lead again on a 14-yard pass from Carder to Ravenell. UConn tied it again when McEntee scrambled and found Nick Williamson a fourth down from 26 yards out with just over 2 minutes left. Two playsafter UConn's kickoff went out of bounds, Ravenell raced down the rightsideline and reached over cornerback Gary Wilburn to bring in a 41-yardtouchdown with 1:35 left. Arnheim beat Wilburn down the right sideline and made a one-handed32-yard catch to set up the Broncos second touchdown, an 11-yard passfrom Carder to tight end Dallas Walker. The Broncos went 66 yards on their first drive of the second quarter andscored when White grabbed a slant pass and dragged several UConndefenders into the end zone for a 25-yard catch and run. The Huskies didn't cross midfield until McCombs took a handoff at hisown 7-yard line with just over 6 minutes left in the half, bounced off a tackleand ran 65 yards before tripping on the grass. That set up a 9-yard touch-down pass from McEntee to Moore. Moore's second touchdown, a 3-yard reception on a play-action fake,was set up by his 47-yard catch and run. The 5-play 72-yard drive broughtUConn to within 17-14 midway through the third quarter.��
