2014 preview

T he UConn football team will have 15 spring practices spread

across four weeks, with a week off for spring break from March 15-23, all culminating in the 2014 Spring Game on April 12, 2014 at Rentschler Field. Under first-year head coach Bob Diaco, the Spring Game will return to a traditional four 15-minute quarter game.

The format of the spring game is not all Diaco seeks to change in his first year at the helm of the program, as a wholesale mentality and culture shift has been promised by the 2012 Broyles Award winner. Diaco hopes to use his 15 spring practices and spring game to mold a squad that returns 40 letterwinners into a perennial contender in an improving American Athletic Conference.

In addition to a challenging American slate, the Huskies will play an exciting non-conference schedule that features BYU and Boise State visiting Rentschler Field before a midseason trip to Yankee Stadium for a game with Army. The conference schedule includes home games with Cincinnati, SMU and UCF, along with trips to conference-newcomers East Carolina and Tulane.

On offense, UConn returns 19 letterwinners from a year ago, includ-ing starters at all six skill positions. Three returners at quarterback saw starting time in 2013, with sophomore Tim Boyle (Middletown, Conn.), redshirt sophomore Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) and redshirt senior Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) all making four starts last season. Cochran closed the 2013 season with a record-setting 461-yard, four-touchdown performance vs. Memphis, while Whitmer has 16 career starts under his belt and Boyle gained valuable starting experience as a true fresh-man. Also in the mix at quarterback will be talented redshirt-freshman Kivon Taylor (Atlanta, Ga.).

Redshirt senior tailback Lyle McCombs (Staten, Island) returns with 32 career starts under his belt and his name riddled across the UConn record books. McCombs is currently second all-time at UConn in car-ries and fourth with 2,681 rushing yards, thanks in part to 11 career 100-yard rushing games. Redshirt junior Max DeLorenzo (Berlin, Conn.) also emerged as a threat on the ground last year after rushing for five touchdowns, and sophomore Matt Walsh (Madison, Conn.) is back at the fullback position after starting there as a true freshman.

Redshirt-freshman Joshua Marriner (Chesapeake, Va.), redshirt soph-omore Jazzmar Clax (Freehold, N.J.), redshirt freshman Alex Haendler (Stamford, Conn.) and redshirt sophomore William Weyrauch (Cheshire, Conn.) will also look to solidify the UConn backfield.

The wide receiver position is loaded for the Huskies, with three start-ers returning and seven total letterwinners back from 2013. Redshirt senior Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) leads the way after starting every game last year en route to the first 1,000-yard receiving season at UConn in the FBS era and first overall since 1998. In addition to Davis, returning start-ers in senior Deshon Foxx (Lynchburg, Va.) and redshirt senior Shakim Phillips (Paterson, N.J.) combine to form UConn’s most productive return-ing unit.

Other returning letterwinners at receiver include redshirt junior Kamal Abrams (Dover, Del.), sophomore Dhameer Bradley (New Castle, Del.), redshirt sophomore John Green (Miami, Fla.) and sophomore Brian Lemelle (Harrisburg, Pa.). Redshirt-freshman Noel Thomas (Norwalk, Conn.) also figures to be in the mix, while redshirt-sophomore Tony Tully (East Sandwich, Mass.), redshirt-freshman Thomas Lucas (Silver Springs, Md.) and redshirt-sophomore Nick Vitale (Higganum, Conn.) provide the Huskies depth.

At tight end, redshirt junior Sean McQuillan (Glastonbury, Conn.) is the lone returning letterwinner after starting eight games last season. Joining him at the position is a trio of redshirt freshmen in Tommy Myers (Coventry, Conn.), Quinn Thompson (Edinboro, Pa.) and Michael Boland (Dunmore, Pa.), who will all look for their first playing time this season. Also entering the fray is converted safety and redshirt-junior Jeremy Claflin (West Hartford, Conn.).

The offensive line will have to replace four senior starters, with red-shirt senior Alex Mateas (Ottawa, Ontario) the lone returning starter after playing all 12 games at center last season. Redshirt juniors Dalton Gifford (Fairhaven, Mass.) and Gus Cruz (Manchester, N.H.) both have starting experience and will look to solidify the line.

Junior Tyler Samra (Wycoff, N.J.) and redshirt-sophomore Zach Rugg (Windber, Pa.) each lettered last year as well, and redshirt-senior Bryan Paull (Parkland, Fla.), redshirt sophomore Kyle Bockeloh (Houston, Texas), redshirt sophomore Richard Levy (Trenton, N.J.) and redshirt junior Paul Nwokeji (Randolph, Mass.) all saw game action. Redshirt freshmen Samuel Murphy (Fairfield, Conn.), Brendan Vechery (Ashburn, Va.), Thomas Hopkins (Hawthorne, N.Y.) and Kyle Schafenacker (Cooper City, Fla.) will look to crack the rotation and converted defensive lineman redshirt-sophomore Andreas Knappe (Silkeborg, Denmark) also enters the mix.

On defense, the Huskies bring back 19 letterwinners and five return-ing starters. Diaco, a former defensive coordinator, will have plenty of talent and experience to work with on the defensive side of the ball.

In the secondary, the Huskies bring back four letterwinners at cor-nerback, headlined by redshirt-senior Byron Jones (New Britain, Conn.), a three-year starter. Redshirt juniors Tyree Clark (Tampa, Fla.) and David Stevenson (Stone Mountain, Ga.) and redshirt sophomore Jhavon Williams (Wellington, Fla.) all saw significant time at corner including several starts and will bring experience to the position.

Also in line to earn playing time at corner is senior Chris DeBerry (Torrington, Conn.), sophomore Javon Hadley (Miami, Fla.), redshirt-junior Carlos Martinez (Stamford, Conn.) and mid-year enrollee and fresh-man Jamar Summers (East Orange, N.J.).

Redshirt-sophomore Obi Melifonwu (South Grafton, Mass.) head-lines the returners at safety after starting all 12 games there a year ago. Redshirt junior Andrew Adams (Fayetteville, Ga.) also returns with start-ing experience, and redshirt-sophomore Jordan Floyd (Bel Air, Md.) and redshirt-junior Wilbert Lee (Brooklyn, N.Y.) played major roles in 2013. All four safeties on the spring roster earned letters last season.

Despite the departure of All-Conference First Team member and leading tackler Yawin Smallwood to the NFL Draft, the Huskies bring back an experienced group of five letter-winning linebackers. Leading the pack is redshirt junior Jefferson Ashiru (Powder Springs, Ga.), who started 10 games in 2013. Redshirt juniors Graham Stewart (Durham, Conn.) and Marquise Vann (Cincinnati, Ohio) also made multiple starts last sea-Linebacker Jefferson Ashiru started ten games for the Huskies last season

and the redshirt junior will be a key on the Husky defense.

2014 preview

son, and redshirt sophomore Jon Hicks (Palmyra, Pa.) and redshirt senior Brandon Steg (Coral Springs, Fla.) both earned letters after playing valuable special teams roles.

Redshirt senior Reuben Frank (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) lettered last sea-son at defensive end, but will move to linebacker in Diaco’s defense and brings pass-rushing expertise. Redshirt freshmen Junior Joseph (Sinking Springs, Pa.), Cole Ormsby (Windsor, Conn.), Cameron Stapleton (Staten Island, N.Y.) and Jalen Stevens (Goose Creek, S.C.) will look for their first playing time, while redshirt-sophomore Omaine Stephens (East Orange, N.J.) and freshman Chris Britton (Harrisburg, Pa.) are also in the mix.

A pair of starters highlight five returning letterwinners on the defen-sive line, with redshirt junior Julian Campenni (West Pittson, Pa.) and redshirt senior Angelo Pruitt (Cincinnati, Ohio) back on the defensive front. Also returning with letter experience, redshirt junior Kenton Adeyemi (Wethersfield, Conn.), redshirt senior B.J. McBryde (Beaver Falls, Pa.) and redshirt sophomore Mikal Myers (Newburg, N.Y.) will shore up the line.

Others who will look to crack the defensive line rotation include redshirt-sophomore Brendan Battles-Santos (Eastham, Mass.) and redshirt freshman Sean Marinan (Higganum, Conn.).

On special teams, the Huskies return a pair of long snappers who each worked in game action last season, with redshirt junior Dominick Manco (Lagrangeville, N.Y) and redshirt senior Adam Mueller (Park Ridge, Ill.) combining for the duties last season. In the kicking game, redshirt-soph-omore Bobby Puyol (North Palm Beach, Fla.) replaces long-time kicker Chad Christen while redshirt-freshmen Justin Wain (Wilmington, N.C.) and Blake Feagles (Ridgewood, N.J.) will compete for the punting duty in the absence of four-year punter Cole Wagner.

Tailback Lyle McCombs returns for his senior year and is the fourth-leading rusher in UConn history entering the ’14 season.

HeAD CoACH BoB DiACo

B ob Diaco, who served on the

Notre Dame coaching staff as the defensive coordinator for the past four years and the assistant head coach for the past two, is in his first year as the head football coach at the UConn in 2014- the 30th in school history.

Diaco was the 2012 winner of the Frank Broyles Award, given to the top

assistant college football coach in the country and was the first Irish assistant to receive the prestigious award. He was a semifinalist for the award in 2011.

Diaco joined the Notre Dame staff in 2010 as defensive coordi-nator and inside linebacker coach, took responsibility for the entire linebacker position in 2011 and added responsibilities as associate head coach in 2012.

His 2012 Irish defense ranked among the top 10 in the Football Bowl Subdivision in 12 different categories as the school played in the BCS National Championship Game and posted an overall record of 12-1.

Diaco has an impressive coaching resume as he served at Virginia (2006-08) as the linebackers and special teams coordina-tor and Cincinnati (2009) as the defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach before joining the Notre Dame staff.

A native of Cedar Grove, N.J., and a 1995 Iowa graduate, Diaco began his coaching career in 1996-97 as a graduate assistant at his alma mater.

He then served on the staffs of Western Illinois (1999-2000) as the special teams coordinator and running backs coach, Eastern Michigan (2001-2003) working with the same positions and Central Michigan (2005) as the co-defensive coordinator and line-backers coach.

Diaco has coached in eight post-season games, including the BCS title game with Notre Dame in 2012 and the Sugar Bowl with Cincinnati in 2010. He played in three bowl games as a student-athlete at Iowa.

He was a two-time All-Big Ten selection at Iowa as a linebacker under Hall of Fame coach Hayden Fry and was named the team’s co-MVP in 1995, starting in all 23 games over his junior and senior seasons.

Diaco has developed a national reputation as one of the top defensive coaches in the game. Notre Dame has allowed an average of 19.08 points/game over the last four seasons, which ranks as the ninth-best average over 2010-13 of any team in the FBS.

His 2012 Irish defense ranked second in the FBS in scoring defense - allowing just 12.77 points per game. Notre Dame only allowed 15 offensive touchdowns - four fewer than any other FBS school. The Irish held six opponents without an offensive touch-down and nine foes to one or fewer offensive touchdowns.

Under Diaco’s coaching, linebacker Manti Te’o was the 2012 winner of Nagurski Trophy, Lott Trophy, Butkus Award, Lombardi Award, Bednarik Award, Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Player of the Year. Te’o was also the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy.

HeAD CoACH BoB DiACo

Diaco’s 2011 defense ranked in the top 50 in scoring defense (24th, 20.7), total defense (30th, 344.7), rushing defense (47th, 138.9) and passing defense (38th, 205.8). It was only the second time since 2003 and fourth time in the last 15 seasons a Notre Dame defense ranked in the top 50 in all four categories. The Irish played in the Champs Sports Bowl following that season.

In his first season at Notre Dame in 2010, Diaco switched defensive schemes from a blitzing 4-3 defense the Irish utilized in 2009 and installed a 3-4 no-crease defense. Diaco’s defense became immediately better as the Irish allowed 5.69 fewer points per game, 40.5 fewer yards per game, averaged one half sacks more per game and forced more turnovers in 2010 than 2009. The Irish played in the Sun Bowl that season.

In his only season at Cincinnati (2009), he was charged with replacing 10 starters on the Bearcats’ defense, including every player on the front seven for 2009. The Bearcats recorded 110 tackles for loss in 2009 (8.46 per game) to rank third in the nation. They totaled 37 sacks and tied for 10th in the country averaging 2.85 sacks per contest. Cincinnati’s defense allowed 3.6 rushing yards per carry. He groomed safety Aaron Webster in a First Team All-BIG EAST pick.

Prior to Cincinnati, Diaco spent three years as the linebackers coach and special teams coordinator on Al Groh’s coaching staff at the University of Virginia from 2006-08. At the conclusion of the 2008 season, was promoted to the Cavaliers’ defensive coordinator position, but he left two months later to take the same position at Cincinnati. Virginia played in the Gator Bowl following ‘07.

Diaco’s linebackers were critical to Virginia allowing only 3.7 yards per carry and just over 21 points per game to their opponents in 2008. Only four schools permitted fewer rushing touchdowns than Virginia’s nine in 2007, and the Cavaliers allowed 106.9 rush-ing yards per game, 13th in the nation. Virginia ranked 16th nation-ally at 19.7 points allowed per game and was 23rd in total defense,

allowing 332.5 yards per game. Linebacker Clint Sintim led the nation in sacks by a linebacker in 2007.

In his only season at Central Michigan (2005), Diaco turned around CMU’s rushing defense that just two years earlier had ranked last in the Mid-American Conference. Under Diaco’s watch, Central Michigan led the MAC, allowing only 113.7 rushing yards per game. He also helped defensive end Dan Bazuin lead the nation with 26.5 tackles for loss and tie a MAC record with 16 sacks.

He coached the special teams and linebackers at Western Michigan from 1999-2000. The punting, punt return and kickoff return units all finished in the top three of the MAC.

Diaco’s first full-time position was at Western Illinois where he was the running backs coach and special teams coordinator in 1999 and 2000. The Leathernecks won the Gateway Conference crown in 2000 and made an appearance in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs.

Diaco and his wife Julia have two sons - Angelo and Michael - and a daughter Josephine.

Don pAtterSonAssistant Head Coach, Quarterbacks

Don Patterson, who has enjoyed a long and success-ful college football career as both a head coach and an assistant, is in his first year as Assistant Head Football Coach at UConn and has position responsibilities with the quarterbacks.

He and new UConn head coach Bob Diaco have strong ties – Patterson was a member of the Iowa coaching staff when Diaco played for the Hawkeyes from 1992-95 and then was a graduate assistant coach from 1996-97. While the head coach at Western Illinois, Patterson hired Diaco to his first full-time coaching position in 1999; one year later, Western Illinois won the Gateway Football Conference championship with Patterson and Diaco on the sidelines.

Most recently, Patterson served as the quarterbacks coach and recruit-ing coordinator at Buffalo for the past three seasons. Patterson helped lead Buffalo to an appearance in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl this past season as quarterback Joe Licata passed for 2,824 yards and 24 touchdowns. In 2012, both Alex Zordich and Licata posted good numbers as Zordich threw for 1,254 yards and nine touchdowns while Licata passed for 1,045 yards and seven touchdowns.

Patterson was the head coach at Western Illinois from 1999-2009 and had a 62-45 career record in 11 seasons before illness forced him to step away from coaching for a year. He led the Leathernecks to three NCAA playoff berths, a pair of Gateway Football Conference titles and a No. 1 national ranking in 2003. In his decade as head coach, Patterson produced 108 all-conference honorees, 34 academic all-conference selections, 59 All-Americans, including two consensus all-Americans, and two academic All-Americans.

Patterson led Western Illinois to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs in 2000 (first round), 2002 (second round) and 2003 (second round). Western Illinois won Gateway league titles in 2000 and ‘02.

Patterson came to Western Illinois after a 20-year run on the Iowa staff with legendary coach Hayden Fry from 1979-98. During his tenure at Iowa, the Hawkeyes appeared in 14 bowl games, including three Rose Bowls. The 1985 Iowa team was ranked No. 1 in the nation for five weeks, en route to a school-record 10 wins.

Patterson went to Iowa as a defensive backs coach in 1979, was the recruiting coordinator in 1980, worked with the tight ends from 1981-88, the quarterbacks and wide receivers from 1989-91 and then served as the offensive coordinator from 1992-98.

Under Patterson’s guidance, the Iowa offense was explosive, leading the Big Ten in rushing (217.0 yards/game) and scoring (34.3 points/game) while finishing second in pass efficiency in 1997. Iowa finished the 1997 campaign ranked eighth in the nation in rushing offense and ninth in scor-ing.

Patterson was instrumental in Iowa’s success, making the Hawkeyes one of only three Big Ten teams (also Ohio State and Michigan) to play in 14 bowl games during his tenure. Iowa appeared in the Rose Bowl after the 1981, 1985 and 1990 seasons, and made eight consecutive bowl appear-ances from 1981-88. The success of the Hawkeyes was immediate upon Patterson’s arrival with Fry, evidenced by a Rose Bowl berth in their third season (1981), which was Iowa’s first Rose Bowl appearance since 1958. Iowa ranked third among Big Ten teams in victories from 1979-98 and was one of three Big Ten teams to win more than 100 games between 1984-98.

Patterson was the last member of Fry’s original Hawkeye staff and his association with Fry began in 1978 as an assistant at North Texas State coaching the defensive secondary.

Patterson is a 1973 Army graduate and served on the cadet honor committee and was named to the highest-ranking cadet staff while at the Academy. He and his wife, Lisa, have a daughter, Brooke, who earned her doctorate in pharmacy from Purdue.

MiKe CUMMingSOffensive Coordinator, Tight Ends

Mike Cummings, who served as the Offensive Coordinator for the past four seasons at Central Michigan, is in his first year in 2014 as the Offensive Coordinator at UConn and has position responsibility with the tight ends.

During Cummings’ tenure at CMU, the school boasted one of the Mid-American Conference’s top offenses. Cummings had position responsibility for the offensive line at Central Michigan and coached offensive tackle Eric Fisher, who was the first pick in the 2013 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs.

Cummings and new UConn head coach Bob Diaco were on the same coaching staff together at Eastern Michigan in 2000 and ‘01.

In 2012, Cummings directed a CMU offense that averaged 6.2 yards per play, ranking No. 2 in the MAC, produced nearly 400 yards of offense per game and scored 30 or more points in 10 games. Much of the offensive success can be attributed to the play of the CMU offensive line, which Cummings has position responsibility for, which allowed just 15 sacks, ranking No. 17 nationally.

Cummings coached five All-Mid-American Conference offensive line-men over the last three seasons. Colin Miller and Jeff Maddux were both named to the 2010 All-MAC Second Team, while Fisher was a Third Team selection in 2011 and was honored on the All-MAC First Team in 2012. Andy Phillips was a second team pick in 2013.

Fisher, who also earned All-America honors from the Associated Press, became the highest NFL draft pick in MAC and Central Michigan history. A starter of all 13 games in 2012, Fisher flourished under Cummings’ tutelage rising from a relatively unknown commodity at the beginning of the season to a national sensation following dominant performances at the Senior Bowl and the NFL Scouting Combine.

The Chippewas ranked in the top 25 nationally in passing offense during 2010 and ‘11 under Cummings. CMU ranked 25th nationally in 2011, averaging 274.2 yards per game through the air, one year after ranking 20th with a 284.0 yards per game average. The Chippewas have thrown for 295 or more yards 17 times over the past four seasons, including six games of 350 yards or more.

The 2010 season marked the start of Cummings’ fourth stint at CMU. He was the Chippewas’ offensive line coach from 1992-97 and 1999, and he was a graduate assistant at CMU during the 1988 and 1989 seasons. Cummings coached seven All-MAC honorees during his previous time at CMU.

Cummings served as the offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator at Marshall from 2005-09. At least one Marshall offensive lineman earned All- Conference USA honors in each of his five seasons.

Prior to Marshall, Cummings was the offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator at Western Michigan for three seasons.

Cummings’ career also includes stops at Eastern Michigan (defensive line/ special teams/recruiting coordinator, 2000-01), Michigan State (tight ends/ special teams, 1998), Millersville (offensive line, 1990-91) and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (offensive line, 1987).

Cummings earned three varsity letters in football at Buffalo. He earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education and exercise science from Buffalo in 1984 and his master’s degree in athletics administration from CMU in 1990.

Cummings and his wife Donna have two daughters, Elizabeth and Emily.

AntHony poinDexterDefensive Coordinator, Safeties

Anthony Poindexter, who has been a member of the coaching staff at Virginia since 2003 and played for two seasons in the NFL, is in his first year as the Defensive Coordinator in 2014. He has position responsibility with the safeties.

Poindexter and new UConn head coach Bob Diaco were on the coaching staff together at Virginia from 2006-08.

During Poindexter’s ten-year coaching career at Virginia, he worked on the defensive side of the ball for the final five and with the safeties since 2010.

Poindexter was UVa’s running backs coach from 2004-2008 and was also the special teams coordinator from 2006-12. He joined the Virginia staff as a graduate assistant coach in 2003. He returned to his alma mater the year before as a graduate assistant coach for strength and conditioning.

In 2011 at Virginia, Poindexter’s unit helped hold opponents to a com-pletion percentage of just 53.7 percent, the second lowest mark in the ACC.

With the victory, Virginia ended FSU’s four-year, 29-game conference win-ning streak since joining the league in 1992.

Poindexter’s senior season ended prematurely when he injured his left knee in the seventh game of the season and later underwent reconstructive surgery.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Towson running back Terrance West ran for 156 yards and two touchdowns and the Tigers defeated the University of Connecticut football team by a 33-18 score before a crowd of 30,689 at Rentschler Field on Thursday night. It was Towson’s first win against an opponent from the bowl subdivision.

Towson put up 393 yards of total offense while holding UConn to just 287. Quarterback Peter Athens threw for 192 yards and another score and running back Sterlin Phifer caught a 23-yard touchdown and ran for another. West carried the ball a career-high 36 times, and broke the 100-yard mark for the 12th time in his career. The junior’s two fourth-quarter scores put the game away.

UConn junior wide receiver Shakim Phillips (Paterson, N.J.) had two touch-down catches for Connecticut and redshirt junior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) caught five balls for 100 yards in the losing effort.

The Tigers were up 13-10 at halftime and trailed just once, at 7-0. The Huskies were held scoreless in the second half of this one until junior quarterback Chandler Whitmer (Newnana, Ga.) hit Phillips with a 21-yard touchdown pass with 3:29 left in the game that cut the deficit to 26-18.

But on UConn’s next opportunity, freshman Brian Lemelle (Harrisburg, Pa.) fumbled a punt. West, who now has 46 career touchdowns, then put the finishing touches on the upset, scoring from 5 yards out with 16 seconds left in the game.

Connecticut took an early lead after a 92-yard drive that was set up with a diving interception by redshirt freshman safety Obi Melifonwu (South Grafton, Mass.). The redshirt freshman was pressed into a starting role when Andrew Adams (Fayetteville, Ga.) went down in camp with a shoulder injury. Nine plays after the pick, Whitmer found Phillips breaking toward the left corner for a 31-yard catch-and-run.

Towson answered in just four plays. Phifer swung out of the backfield on a delay pattern and Athens found him wide open for a 23-yard touchdown. Phifer scored again in the second quarter on a five-yard run. That came two plays after Jon Desir tipped and intercepted a Whitmer pass at the UConn 29-yard line, a ball that ended up between Desir’s legs.

Towson controlled the second half. Athens took the Tigers on a 13-play 95-yard drive in the third quarter, finishing it himself. His dive from a yard gave the Tigers a 19-10 lead. Leon Kinnard, a transfer from UConn, made the big play of the drive, catching a 39-yard pass that set Towson up at the UConn 25-yard line.

Connecticut drove into Towson territory, but fumbled on fourth-and-1 at the 33-yard line, giving Towson the ball back.

The Tigers then drove 62 yards in 10 plays, with West going in from 6 yards out. The junior, who carried the ball a career-high 36 times, ran 1,051 yards as a sophomore, after rushing for almost 1,300 yards and scoring 29 touchdowns as a freshman.

UConn’s Whitmer completed 15 of 27 passes for 199 yards and the two touch-downs. Husky junior running back Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) had 76 yards rushing on 17 carries.

UConn fell to 9-3 in season openers since making the jump to the FBS in 2002, including 9-2 at Rentschler Field.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Maryland quarterback C.J. Brown ran for 122 yards and a touchdown and threw for 277 yards and another score on Saturday night as the Terrapins beat the University of Connecticut football team by a 32-21 score before a crowd of 38,916 at Rentschler Field.

Stefon Diggs had 110 yards receiving, including a 12-yard touchdown for the Terrapins, who improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2001.

UConn redshirt junior wide receiver Shakim Phillips (Paterson, N.J.) caught a career-high 10 passes for 178 yards and a late touchdown for UConn, which fell to 0-2. UConn returns to action next Saturday when it plays host to Michigan at 8:00 p.m. on ABC -- a gametime which was announced late Saturday.

Diggs, who caught five balls, had 98 yards receiving at the half. His 12-yard catch and run in the third quarter capped a four-play 80-yard drive in the third quarter that put the Terps up 20-10.

The Huskies cut the lead to 20-13 on a 34-yard field goal that came after Brandon Ross fumbled the ball at his own 25-yard line. Maryland got some breath-ing room when Dexter McDougle stepped in front of UConn redshirt junior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) on the right sideline, and took an interception back 49-yards across the field for a touchdown.

UConn redshirt junior quarterback Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) was 29-of-46 for a career-high 349 yards and a touchdown. Phillips scored a late 75-yard touchdown catch and run, but had to be helped off the field after getting injured on the play.

The Terps turned the ball over three times in the first quarter in UConn ter-ritory, twice failing to convert on fourth-and-1. Brandon Ross was stuffed for a three yard loss to end the Terps first possession, and UConn responded by going on a six-play 64-yard drive that ended with redshirt junior tailback Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.y.) taking a pile of players into the end zone from five yards out. Brandon Ross finished with 95 yards rushing whie McCombs had 53 for UConn.

Maryland went for it and missed again on fourth-and-1 from the UConn 23, and in between, Brown was picked off by senior cornerback Taylor Mack (Powder Springs, Ga.) on the Huskies 22.

Maryland got on the board in the second quarter when Brown kept the ball on a read option and went 41 yards up the middle of the Husky defense to tie the game, capping a four-play 80-yard drive.

The teams traded field goals to keep the game tied at 10. Redshirt senior Chad Christen (Etters, Pa.) had a 33-yard field goal, which was his ninth consecutive successful attempt. The Terps then put together a 10-play, 86-yard drive just before halftime, settling for a 21-yard field goal after Levern Jacobs stepped out of bounds on a 48-yard reception just before diving into the end zone.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Senior running back Fitzgerald Toussaint ran for 120 yards and two touchdowns and junior linebakcer Desmond Morgan made a one-handed interception in the fourth quarter that swung the game Michigan’s way and the 15th-ranked Wolverines topped the University of Connecticut by a 24-21 score before a sold out crowd of 42,704 at Rentschler Field. The game was the largest attended game in the history of the stadium.

UConn drops to 0-3 on the season while the Wolverines improve to 4-0. A week after Michigan needed a last-second stand to hold off Akron, Brendan Gibbons kicked a 21-yard field goal with 4:36 left to give the Wolverines their first lead of the second half.

UConn junior Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) threw two touchdowns and junior safety Ty-Meer Brown (McKeesport, Pa.) returned a fumble 34 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter that put UConn up 21-7.

Quarterback Devin Gardner turned the ball over three times for Michigan and the Wolverines also muffed a punt inside their 10 that led to a UConn touchdown.After UConn junior linebacker Yawin Smallwood (Worcester, Mass.) stopped Gardner short on a fourth-and-two at the Huskies 22 with 11:23 left in the fourth quarter, the record crowd at Rentschler Field was rocking and starting to believe an upset was in the making.

But Morgan made the play of the game, leaping high and snaring Whitmer’s pass over the middle with his right hand.

He returned it 29 yards to the 12. “That’s going to be replayed a long time in Michigan history,” Gardner said of Morgan’s pick. On the next play Toussaint swept untouched around the left side to make it 21-21 with 9:49 left.

Michigan forced a three-and-out on the next series and got the ball back around midfield, but its drive stalled at the 4 and Gibbons made the short kick to give Michigan a three-point lead with 4:36 left. UConn’s last drive reached midfield, but Michigan pushed the Huskies backward and they came up a 3 yards short on a fourth-and-29.

Michigan had three turnovers in the first half that helped give UConn a 14-7 lead. Turnover No. 4 came on its first possession of the second half. Gardner tried to sneak on a third-and-short, but as he slid down the line, he bumped into one of his linemen and the ball popped loose.

Brown picked up the ball and had a couple of teammates escorted him into the end zone.

Michigan finally responded with a drive, going 75 yards, the final 35 by Toussaint, who made it 21-14 with 5:37 left in the third.

Gardner threw a first-quarter interception deep in UConn territory. He redeemed himself with a 17-yard touchdown run to give Michigan a 7-0 lead with 1:52 left in the first. UConn ended the quarter with one first down.

But Michigan couldn’t take advantage and Whitmer through two TD passes in the second quarter to put UConn up 14-7 at half.

Gardner didn’t complete a pass in the second quarter and for the second straight week Michigan looked disjointed.

AMHERST, N.Y. – Buffalo quarterback Joe Licata was 10 for 19 in the air with three TD passes for 177 yards as the Bulls defeated the University of Connecticut football team by a 41-12 score before a crowd of 20,952 at UB Stadium.

The win was the first for Buffalo over UConn since 2001 as the Bulls up their record to 2-2 and the Huskies are 0-4. UConn is 0-4 for the first time since 1991.

UConn turned the ball over five times while Buffalo scored through the air, on the ground and on defense in building a 28-12 halftime lead. They blocked a field goal and scored 17 points off Connecticut turnovers.

Licata passed for a career-high three touchdowns, connecting with different receivers on each score. Licata found tight end Mason Schreck for a five-yard touchdown in the first quarter, later adding a 22-yard touchdown to Alex Neutz and a 36-yard score to Fred Lee.

The Bulls were aided by the return of starting running back Branden Oliver, who had 110 total yards including 90 yards rushing and a touchdown.

UConn junior quarterback Chandler Whitmer (Newnan, Ga.) turned the ball over four times, including a second-quarter interception that Najja Johnson returned 33-yards for a Bulls touchdown. UConn redshirt freshman quarterback Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) made his collegiate debut in the fourth quarter as he was two-for-five in the air for 11 yards and an interception.

Husky senior kicker Chad Christen (Etters, Pa.) connected on field goals of 33 and 37 yards, but had a 48-yard attempt blocked in the second quarter. Patrick Clarke hit field goals of 49 and 50 yards for Buffalo.

UConn junior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) was a bright spot for the Huskies, with five catches for 102 yards. The Huskies continue to have trouble on the ground as they entered the game 121st in rushing offense. They finished the game with 27 yards rushing on 39 attempts. The win was Buffalo’s first against a BCS school since Sept. 7, 2002, when they beat Rutgers.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – USF kicker Marvin Kloss hit two field goals and Aaron Lynch returned a fumble 44 yards for a touchdown as USF beat the University of Connecticut football team by a 13-10 on Saturday before a Homecoming crowd of 37,861 at Rentschler Field. UConn drops to 0-5 on the season and 0-1 in the American Athletic Conference while USF is 2-4 and 2-0.

It was the Bulls second consecutive win without an offensive touchdown after beating Cincinnati last week.

Kloss’ 44-yard field goal with just over four minutes left capped a more than seven minute fourth-quarter drive, and was the game winner. He has converted on nine consecutive attempts, including a 47-yarder in the first half.

UConn junior running back Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) had a career-high 164 yards rushing and a touchdown for Connecticut, which has lost five straight games to open a season for the first time since 1977.

The Bulls winning drive went 65 yards in 13 plays. USF just missed out on a touchdown when Steven Bravo-Brown got his hands on a 26-yard pass, but dropped the ball in the end zone.

UConn, which was held scoreless in the second half, got the ball back twice more. They drove to midfield with six seconds left, but a Hail Mary on the game’s final play fell incomplete in the end zone.

An interception by redshirt junior UConn cornerback Byron Jones (New Britain, Conn.) at the USF 29, set up a 32-yard field goal from redshirt senior Chad Christen (Etters, Pa.) that opened the scoring.

USF’s defense then got its third touchdown in three weeks. Ryne Giddins knocked the ball away from Boyle, and Lynch picked up the loose ball and rumbled 44-yards to make it 7-3 late in the first quarter.

It took the Huskies just four plays to retake the lead as McCombs weaved his way for a 52-yard touchdown run, his longest run of the season and longest since 2011. The junior’s previous rushing high this season had been 76 yards. He had 135 in the first half of this one.

Kloss, who hit four field goals last week, capped a six-play second quarter drive to score 10-10. The junior has five field goals of 47 yards or more on the year, a new school record.

UConn had a chance to take the lead in the third quarter, but Julius Forte blocked a 47-yard field goal attempt, the second week in a row that USF has blocked a kick.

CINCINNATI – Cincinnati quarterback Brendon Kay followed one of his best games with an even better one, throwing for four touchdowns and running for another on Saturday as the Bearcats pulled away to a 41-16 victory over the University of Connecticut football team before a crowd of 28,847 at Nippert Stadium.

UConn falls to 0-6 with the loss and 0-2 in the American Athletic Conference while Cincinnati ups its record to 5-2 overall and 2-1 in The American.

Kay tied his career high with the four touchdown passes - each to a different receiver - and was 17 of 24 for 300 yards.

UConn freshman quarterback Tim Boyle (Middlefield, Conn.) made his second career start and was under constant pressure. He threw an interception that helped the Bearcats take control late in the first half. Boyle was 22 of 39 in the air for 310 yards with three interceptoins.

Deven Drane tipped Boyle’s pass and picked it off, returning it 41 yards to the two-yard line. Kay ran the final few inches on a keeper with 1:31 left in the half.

Boyle was sacked by Silverberry Mouhon as Cincinnati forced a punt, and Kay completed three passes, including a 32-yarder to Max Morrison for another touch-down with 17 seconds left in the half for a 27-3 lead. Boyle was 22 of 39 for 310 yards with the three interceptions, one of them in the end zone.

Connecticut managed only 56 yards of rushing while falling behind 34-3 against a defense ranked sixth nationally in yards allowed and fourth in pass defense.

Kay slightly injured the wrist on his throwing arm when it hit a teammate’s helmet on a follow-through in the second quarter. He stayed in the game and threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Blake Annen on the next play, hitting the closely covered tight end in stride.

Kay got his fourth touchdown pass on a quick flip to Anthony McClung, who went 28 yards in the fourth quarter. It was the third time in his career that Kay threw for four TDs.

UConn’s final points came on a 40-yard fumble return by redshirt sophomore linebacker Marquise Vann (Cincinnati, Ohio) with 6:10 to go.

DeLorenzo led UConn in rushing with 46 yards on six carries while redshirt junior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) had eight receptions for 140 yards.

ORLANDO – Univeristy of Central Florida quarterback Blake Bortles threw for four touchdowns and 286 yards while rushing for another TD as the No. 21-ranked Knights defeated the University of Connecticut football team by a 62-17 score before a crowd of 37,924 at Bright House Network Stadium on Saturay. \

UConn’s two first-half turnovers put the Huskies in a hole early and they had no answers for UCF’s air attack. UConn falls to 0-7 on the season and 0-3 in American Athletic Conference while the Knights are 6-1 overall and 3-0 in the conference.

Bortles completed his first eight passes of the game and ended his day early in the third quarter, connecting on 20 of 24.

UConn freshman quarterback Tim Boyle (Middlfield, Conn.) was sacked twice, also slowing down an offense that was just 2 of 12 on third-downs conversions.

UCF’s had its way offensively in the first half as it hurried to a 45-10 lead. The Knights scored on all seven of their possessions of the half, compiling 338 yards on offense. Bortles continued to show the poise he displayed in that comeback win, spreading the ball around to seven receivers. The Knights’ defense also carried over its momentum from the Louisville win, holding the Huskies to 90 yards in the first half.

UConn recovered, and then benefited from a roughing the passer call on the Knights to set up a nine-yard touchdown run by redshirt junior Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) that made it 21-10.

UCF got the ball to open the game and needed just seven plays and a little over two minutes to take a 7-0 lead. Storm Johnson carried three times in the 75-yard drive, capping it with a 10-yard touchdown run.

The Huskies’ started from the 10 on their first possession of the day and quickly got into UCF territory on a 57-yard run by McCombs. The drive moved inside UCF’s 25, but stalled there and they settled for a 40-yard field goal by senior Chad Christen (Etters, Pa.).

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – The 20th-ranked University of Louisville team topped the University of Connecticut football team by a 31-10 score on Friday night before a crowd of 27,104 at Rentschler Field. Louisville improves to 8-1 on the season and 4-1 in American Atheltic Conference plays while UConn is 0-8 and 0-4 in the league.

Freshman quarterback Tim Boyle (Middlefield, Conn.) threw three intercep-tions for Connecticut and was limited to just 113 yards of passing. Louisville had 369 yards in offense and held the Huskies to 237.

Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater came into the game completing almost 74 percent of his passes. He might have been close to that Friday, but was victimized by numerous drops, as his receivers seemed to struggle catching a hard ball with the temperature hovering in the 30s.

Bridgewater threw just his third interception of the season in the third quarter when UConn redshirt sophomore Andrew Adams (Fayetteville, Ga.) stepped in front of a pass. UL cornerback Terell Floyd got that back on the next play, inter-cepting Boyle’s pass and taking the ball back 17 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown. It was the first of two picks for Floyd.

Cardinals cornerback Charles Gaines, who had an interception for a touchdown against USF, also scored. He blocked a punt after a muffed snap, scooped it up and ran 7 yards to open the scoring. The Cardinals have outscored opponents 75-6 in the opening 15 minutes of games this season. Gaines added a second-quarter interception.

The Huskies lone TD came on a 14-yard pass from reshirt freshman QB Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) to junior wide reciever Kamal Abrams (Dover, Del.) with 35 seconds left in the game.

UConn took the game’s opening drive inside the Louisville 10 before a fumble. The Huskies also had a 14-play first-half drive, which ended in a 35-yard field goal with 14:54 left in the first half.

But the Cardinals held them to 58 yards rushing. Louisville running back Dominique Brown, who ran for 125 yards on just 18 carries in his first career start two weeks ago, had only 29 yards against UConn. Perry added 27 and Bridgewater had 21.

DALLAS – SMU quarterback Garrett Gilbert threw four touchdown passes to help the Mustangs hold off the University of Connecticut football team 38-21 on Saturday before a crowd of 14,639 at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. UConn falls to 0-9 on the season and 0-5 in the American Athletic Conference while SMU is 4-5 and 3-2.

Gilbert, the national leader in total offense at 409.4 yards per game before Saturday, passed for 353 yards and ran for 23 against the Huskies.

UConn stayed within a touchdown of SMU until 3:50 remained in the game. At that point, SMU’s Chase Hover kicked a 27-yard field goal, set up by Connecticut’s 14-yard punt.

Gilbert passed for two touchdowns each to Jeremy Johnson and Keenan Holman. Johnson finished with 12 catches for 71 yards. Holman had 8 for 88 yards, and teammate Der’rikk Thompson caught 5 for 113.

For UConn, Cochran passed for two scores and redshirt sophomore Max DeLorenzo (Berlin, Conn.) ran for a touchdown. Redshirt junior Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) led the Huskies with 103 rushing yards in 17 carries.

SMU scored first with 3:35 remaining in the first quarter on Gilbert’s one-yard pass to Holman. He made a leaping catch at the back of the end zone and came down with one foot in bounds. On the previous play, Gilbert had appeared to score on a run from 24 yards out.

The first quarter ended with the Mustangs leading 7-0. They extended the lead to 14-0 on Gilbert’s four-yard pass to Johnson. It capped a 12-play, 80-yard drive. The Huskies answered with a 75-yard drive that ended with DeLorenzo’s 2-yard touchdown run. Penalties on SMU for a horse collar tackle and pass interference in the end zone helped UConn move into position to score.

In hurry-up mode, Gilbert drove the Mustangs 70 yards in 10 plays and 2:10. A five-yard TD pass to Johnson produced a 21-7 lead 18 seconds before halftime.

UConn stopped the Mustangs on their first possession of the second half. Redshirt freshman Cochran then led a 62-yard drive. He threw a one-yard touch-down pass on fourth down to redshirt sophomore tight end Sean McQuillan (Glastonbury, Conn.

UConn’s offense wasn’t bothered by the two-TD deficit. The Huskies scored on a 26-yard pass from Cochran to team receiving leader redshirt junior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.)

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Connecticut football team overcame a 21-0 halftime deficit and scored 28 unanswered points in the second half to post a 28-21 win over Temple on Saturday night before a crowd of 20,045 at windy and chilly Lincoln Financial Field.

The Huskies won their first game of the season and now have a 1-9 record and a 1-5 mark in the American Athletic Conference while Temple is 1-10 and 0-7.

UConn redshirt feshman quarterback Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) tied the game at 28-28 on a one-yard rush with 6:52 to play and junior linebacker Yawin Smallwood (Worcester, Mass.) won it when he intercepted Temple quarterback P.J. Walker and returned the ball 59 yards for the game-winning touchdown with 4:20 remaining.

The 21-0 deficit for the Huskies marked the largest comeback in the school’s FBS history, which dates back to 2002. The previous mark was 17 when UConn trailed Western Michigan 17-0 in the second quarter and wound up with a 41-27 win on Nov. 1, 2003.

Smallwood tied for a team-high with eight tackles. The interception was his first of the season, and the first pick-six of Walker’s career. Walker attempted to tie the game on its final drive but his final heave to the end zone fell incomplete with 38 seconds remaining.

Temple hopped out to an early lead and took a 21-0 advantage into the half, but allowed UConn to make it a one score game with two third-quarter touchdowns, on a 33-yard reception by redshirt junior Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) from Cochran and a seven-yard by redshirt sophomore running back Max DeLorenzo (Berlin, Conn.).

The Owls’ defense tried to keep UConn and Cochran from tying the game, but came up short on two key fourth-and-goals. Temple actually stopped UConn on a third-and-goal from the one-yard line but cornerback Anthony Robey was called for pass interference on fourth-and-goal, allowing UConn a fresh set of downs at the goal line. Temple then proceeded to stop three straight rushes at the one-yard line but could not stop Cochran on the Huskies second fourth down from the goal line.

Two minutes and 32 seconds later, Walker couldn’t catch Smallwood on his touchdown return.

EAST HARTFORD. Conn. – University of Connecticut redshirt freshman quar-terback Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) threw for 311 yards and two touchdowns and the Huskies beat Rutgers 28-17 on Saturday before a crowd of 22,163 at Rentschler Field. The Huskies won for the second time in two weeks and are now 2-9 on the season and 2-5 in the American Athletic Conference. Rutgers falls to 5-6 overall and 2-5 in the league.

UConn redshirt sophomore running back Max DeLorenzo (Berlin, Conn.) rushed for two scores for the Huskies, who lost their first nine games this season. DeLorenzo’s second touchdown run, from a yard out, put the Huskies in front 21-17 in the fourth quarter. Cochran then led UConn on a 12-play, 56-yard drive on their next possession, sealing the win with a three-yard touchdown pass to fresh-man Brian Lemelle (Harrisburg, Pa.)

Rutgers senior Chas Dodd, making his first start of the season for the Scarlet Knights threw for 286 yards and a touchdown. Dodd also threw two interceptions to UConn senior cornerback Taylor Mack (Powder Spring, Ga.), including one on the Husky 19-yard line with just two minutes left.

Dodd, who got the start over team captain Gary Nova, helped put Rutgers back in front in the third quarter. He found Quron Pratt down the left sideline for an 84-yard completion, the longest play of the season for the Scarlet Knights. That set up a three-yard touchdown run from Justin Goodwin.

UConn got a big play on its next possession -- a screen pass from Cochran to junior Deshon Foxx (Lynchburg, Va.) went for 41 yards, setting up DeLorenzo’s touchdown run. Foxx caught nine balls for 117 yards.

Rutgers scored first as the Scarlet Knights took the opening drive to the UConn 10-yard line then faked a 27-yard field goal. Holder J.T Tartacoff threw the ball into the back of the end zone where tight end Tyler Croft wrestled it for a touch-down.

UConn responded with an eight-play, 79-yard drive. Cochran hit five of six passes, including an 18-yard throw over the middle to freshman wide receiver Dhameer Bradley (New Castle, Del.), the first touchdown catch of Bradley’s col-lege career.

Rutgers Quron Pratt was stripped of the ball on the kickoff return, Rutgers’ 17th turnover of the season. UConn scored five plays later on a 12-yard run by DeLorenzo. Cochran, who was 25-33 for the game, had just one incomplete pass in the first quarter, hitting five different receivers.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – UConn redshirt freshman quarterback Casey Cochran (Monroe, Conn.) threw for a school single-game record 461 yards and four touchdowns in leading the University of Connecticut football team to a 45-10 win over Memphis on Saturday before a crowd of 17,086 at Rentschler Field.

Cochran completed 36 of 54 attempts and didn’t throw an interception and his 461 yards breaks the record of 445 set by Dan Orlovsky vs. Syracuse in 2004. His 36 completions was second in school single-game history while his 54 attempts is tied for third.

UConn redshirt junior wide receiver Geremy Davis (Lawrenceville, Ga.) also had a record-setting day with a school-record 15 receptions to go along with 207 yards and a TD. The 15 receptions topped the mark of Keith Hugger, who had 14 vs. Delawa1981. His 207 yards was fifth in school single-game history. He finished the season with 1,085 receiving yards - sixth in school history and the first 1,000 yard season since 1998.

The Huskies racked up 538 yards of offense, while holding Memphis to 257. UConn junior wide receiver Deshon Foxx (Lynchburg, Va.) caught the first score of the game for UConn, an 18-yard strike in the back of the end zone that gave the Huskies a 7-3 first-quarter lead. Foxx had 11 catches for 137 yards and two scores. His 18-yard fourth quarter catch gave Cochran his passing record.

Cochran hit Davis on a 15-yard fade route in the left side of the end zone on the Huskies’ next drive. Davis outjumped two Memphis defenders for the ball.

The Huskies drove 63 yards in the final minute of the half, capping the drive when Cochran rolled right and threw a swing pass back to the left side, which red-shirt junior running back Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) caught and jogged into the end zone from 11 yards out.

McCombs capped the Huskies first drive of the second half with a seven-yard touchdown run.

Davis had a 45-yard catch-and-run in the fourth quarter to set up another touchdown and broke the school record on an 18-yard catch with 6 1/2 minutes left in the game.
