HUSKIES�ON�THE�REBOUND

UConn is 29-17 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 ballduring its tenure as a FBS program has been its ability to both recordand prevent long drives.

Since the start of the 2002 season, UConn’s offense has

strung together 83 scoring drives of at least 80 yards (including

two on Oct. 1 vs. WMU, one vs. USF on Oct. 15 and one vs.

Pittsburgh on Oct. 26) while the Husky defense has surrendered

just 59 such marches. West Virginia had two 80-yard drives on

Oct. 8 and Pittsburgh had one on Oct. 26.

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 onOctober 1 vs. Western Michigan.

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

Over the past 110 games, UConn has outgained its opponent 64times. This stretch, like many UConn trends, dates back to a 28-24loss at Vanderbilt on Oct. 26, 2002.

THE�QUARTERBACK�RACE;�JOHNNY�MAC�SETTLES�IN

Connecticut entered the 2011 season without a quarterback whohas started a collegiate game and with only one quarterback whohas played in a collegiate game.

UConn started three different QBs last year, who have all movedon from the program -- graduated Zach Frazer with ten starts,including the last six of 2010; Cody Endres with two starts and MikeBox with one. Here’s a quick look at the three Husky QBs this year:

* Senior Johnny�McEntee�(Fullerton, Calif.) -- Put some separationin the QB race with his performances vs. Buffalo and WesternMichigan and is now the full-time No. 1 starter...walk-on who hadplayed in two games over the past two seasons...gained internation-al fame last winter with his “trick shot” video on YouTube...the videonow has over six million hits...started the Fordham game and was 8of 12 in the air for 113 yards...started the Vanderbilt game and was10 of 27 in the air for 99 yards and three interceptions and wassacked four times...started the Iowa State game and was 13 of 30 inthe air for 188 yards with one interception...was 12 of 21 in the airfor 213 yards and his first two career TD passes...did not throw aninterception...was 22 of 39 in the air for career-high 300 yards withfour TDs passes...became� the� first� Husky� since� 2006� to� havefour�TD�pases� in� a�game...the� four�TDs�are� tied� for� fourth� inUConn� single-game� history....threw for 193 yards of passingagainst West Virginia....was 13 of 23 in the the air for 103 yards anddid not have any TDs or interceptions vs. USF...was 17 of 33 for 193yards and two TDs vs. Pittsburgh...was 8 for 14 in the air for 113





yards and one TD with two interceptions...the interceptions were hisfirst since the Buffalo game (Sept. 24) and the first of the gamebroke up a streak of 180-straight pass attempts without an intercep-tion.

* Redshirt freshman Scott� McCummings� (Natick, Mass.) --Redshirt freshman who attended same high school as DougFlutie...had over 2,000 yards of passing in senior year with over1,000 yards of rushing...passed for 15 TDs as a senior and rushedfor another 12...was 1 for 1 in the air vs. Fordham with a 55-yard TDpass and also ran the ball seven times for 23 the in the Vanderbiltgame..was 1 for 3 in Iowa State game with a 39-yard TD pass toKashif Moore....had five carries for seven yards vs. Buffalo...had fivecarries for 17 yards vs. Western Michigan....had one carry for fouryards vs. West Virginia....had four carries for 18 yards vs. USF andwas one of two on passing for 32 yards...had one pass completionfor nine yards against Pittsburgh and also ran the ball three times for23 yards...saw the most significant playing time of his career vs.Syracuse as he rushed the ball 13 times for 59 yards and scoredUConn final two TDs of the game on rushes of 10 and seven yards.

EXPERIENCE�ON�THE�LINE

Whoever gets the nod at quarterback for the Huskies plays behindan experienced offensive line.

Senior center Moe�Petrus (St. Laurent, Que.) has started 48 con-secutive games for the Huskies -- and the last 35 at center.

Senior right tackle Mike�Ryan (Tamaqua, Pa.) returns after earn-ing All-BIG EAST first team honors last year and has started 30games over the past two years.

Junior Adam� Masters (Bethesda, Md.) plays right guard andstarted ten games last year -- the final six at right tackle.

Sophomore Kevin�Friend� (Warrentown, Va.) plays at left guardand had a pair of starts last year.

GRIFFIN�NAMED�TO�MACKEY�MID-SEASON�WATCH�LIST

As the offensive philosophy of head coach Paul�Pasqualoni and hisoffensive 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 25 receptions this year for 380yards and two TDs. He had four receptions for 73 yards vs. WesternMichigan and was the leading receiver vs. WVa with five receptionsfor 57 yards. He had three receptions for 38 yards against USF andhad four receptions for 44 yards and a TD vs. Pittsburgh.Griffin� was� named� one� of� 25� tight� ends� nationally� to� be

(ISIAH)�MOORE�HITTING�HIS�STRIDE

UConn senior wide receiver Isiah�Moore (Cambridge, Mass) had acareer-night vs. Iowa State (Sept. 16) as he had eight catches for 143yards for two career highs. He also had a 41-yard reception, whichtopped his career high. His previous single-game career highs werefour receptions in four different games, 76 receiving yards at Baylor in2009 and a 28-yard long reception in that same game.

He backed that game up with another good game vs. Buffalo as hewas UConn’s leading receiver with four receptions for 49 yards and along of 16. He had two catches for 18 yards vs. Western Michigan andfour catches for 41 yards at West Virginia. He was UConn’s leadingreceiver vs. USF with five receptions for 48 yards.

Moore is UConn’s leading receiver with 32 catches for 436 yardsthis season.

(KASHIF)�MOORE�HITTING�HIS�STRIDE

UConn senior wide receiver Kashif�Moore (Burlington, N.J.) had acareer day for himself vs. Western Michigan on October 1. He setcareer highs with eight receptions for 112 yards vs. the Broncos. Healso had a career-high two receiving TDs in the game.

Moore led UConn with six receptions for 106 yards againstPitttsburgh -- including a 62-yard TD pass. He is the second leadingreceiver on the team with 28 receptions and leads the team with fourreceving TDs.

WILLIAMS�BACK�ON�RECEIVING�END

UConn junior Nick�Williams (East Windsor, N.J.) had been makingheadlines over his career mostly in the kickoff return department.Although he was always part of the WR group, Williams led thecountry in kickoff returns last year and was a First Team All-BIGEAST pick in that spot.

UConn head coach Paul Pasqualoni has been using Williamsmore in a receiver role this year, but entering the Sept. 24 game vs.Buffalo, Williams still only had two career receptions -- both of themin 2009.

Williams broke out of that with a pair of catches vs. the Bulls for113 yards, including his first career receiving TD. Williams firstreception of the night was a 64-yarder from McEntee late in the firsthalf that set up a UConn TD with 15 seconds to go to give theHuskies a 10-3 halftime lead.

He then had his first career TD reception on a 49-yard catch fromMcEntee with 4:52 left in the game to seal the UConn win.

Williams had one catch for 26 yards vs. Western Michigan andtwo catches for 21 yards vs. West Virginia.

DEFENSE NOTESLOTS�OF�STARTS,�STARTERS�BACK

Connecticut returned one of the most experienced defenses in thecountry and in the BIG EAST Conference this season.

On the defensive line, UConn returned players that started 45games in 2010 and 93 for their career.

The linebackers had just nine career and nine starts from ‘10returning.

The secondary was also very experienced with 45 starts backfrom last year and 71 for their careers.

For totals, the UConn defense had 100 starts returning from lastseason and a total of 173 career starts.

JENNINGS�GETS�FIRST�CAREER�START

Connecticut redshirt junior Teddy� Jennings (Dayton, Ohio)made his first career start in the season opening againstFordham at defensive end. He responded by making eighttackles -- with 2.5 for a loss. He enjoyed another outstandinggame vs. Vanderbilt as he made four tackles with 2.5 for a lossand he had three tackles vs. Iowa State. He had two tacklesvs. Buffalo with a sack and two tackles against West Virginia.He had four tackles against USF -- including a tackle for a lossof two yards.

Jennings moved into the starting lineup after playing in 13games over the past two years as a reserve. He started inplace of the injured Jesse�Joseph, who did not dress for thefirst time in his career vs. Fordham. The junior had started in25 games over the past two years, missing one game, butdressed for it. Joseph did make his 2011 debut vs. Buffalo andhad five tackles himself and then had three vs. WesternMichigan. Joseph moved back into the starting lineup

against West Virginia and did not have a tackle. He start-

ed again vs. USF and had four tackles with half a tackle

for a loss and had four tackles and a sack vs. Pittsburgh.

SMALLWOOD�IMPRESSES�EARLY

Connecticut redshirt freshman Yawin�Smallwood (Worcester,Mass.) is currently the second-leading tackler on the UConnteam with 73 tackles -- just one off the team lead. He had a ter-rific game vs. Syracuse as he led the team with 12 tackles andalso had half a sack and a pass breakup.

He has started all nine games for UConn in his first colle-giate season and also seems to have a knack for making thebig play.

Against Vanderbilt, he returned a fumble 64 yards for atouchdown and then had a 28-yard interception return vs.Buffalo. The interception vs. the Bulls came at a key time as itcame on a third and goal play from the UConn five with theHuskies nursing a 10-3 lead.

JONES�HONORED�BY�BIG�EASTAs UConn head coach Paul Pasqualoni looked for the rightcombination in his secondary, redshirt freshman Byron�Jones(New Britain, Conn.) made his second and third career startsvs. West Virginia and USF. He also started vs. Pittsburgh andSyracuse.

Jones responded in fine form vs. USF as he returned a fum-ble 10-yards for a TD to provide the winning score for theHuskies in the win. He also made seven tackles in the game.

For his efforts, Jones was named the BIG EASTConference Defensive Player of the Week -- the first weeklyleague honor for the Huskies this year.

Jones’ fumble return for a TD was the second for theHuskies this season as Smallwood had a 64-yarder vs.Vanderbilt. The two fumble returns for a TD mark just the thirdtime in school history that the Huskies have achieved multiplefumble TD returns -- joining the 2001 squad (Jamal�Lundy vs.Utah State and Cliff�Hill�vs. Buffalo) and 1997 (Jeff�DeLuciavs. Buffalo and Anthony�Carter vs. Rhode Island).

BROWN�ALSO�TAKING�TO�STARTING�ROLERedshirt freshman Ty-Meer� Brown (McKeesport, Pa.) hasmade his first career starts in the last four games vs. WestVirginia, USF, Pittsburgh and Syacuse.

Against the Mountaineers, Brown had four tackles, a fumble



recovery and returned an interception 48-yards in the fourth quarterfor UConn’s only TD of the day. He backed that up with an eighttackles and one interception game vs. the Bulls. He made six tack-les against Pittsburgh.

A�HOT�TICKET

Swelling interest in the Husky football program as it graduallymoved up into BIG EAST play can perhaps be best evidencedby the rise in attendance. UConn sold 28,000 season tickets in2008 and sold its entire allotment of student season tickets at4,700. These figures are staggering sums considering that theentire 2001 season ticket base was around 4,000. In 2002, thenumber reached 11,300 in the final season of Memorial Stadium.The burgeoning season ticket base more than doubled to24,000 for the inaugural season at Rentschler Field and rose to28,000 a year later in 2004. UConn reached an all-time high of32,000 season tickets in 2005.

Attendance-34,562

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.

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.��

EAST� HARTFORD� --� University of Connecticut redshirt freshman LyleMcCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) ran for 130 yards and senior kicker DaveTeggart (Northborough, Mass.) kicked three field goals as the Huskies beatUSF 16-10 on Saturday without scoring an offensive touchdown. TheHomecoming contest was played before a crowd of 37,162 at RentschlerField. Redshirt freshman cornerback Byron Jones (New Britain, Conn.) ran athird-quarter fumble back 10 yards for what turned out to be the winningscore after senior defensive tackle Twyon Martin (Parkland, Fla.) strippedUSF running back Darrel Scott deep in UConn territory. B.J. Daniels threw for 164 yards and ran for 64 and a touchdown. Butthe USF quarterback also threw two interceptions and had a key fumble. The Bulls failed to convert on a fourth down with just under 2 1/2 min-utes left and the Huskies ran out the clock. A 32-yard run from Daniels had given the Bulls the ball in UConn territo-ry. But a fourth-down pass to Sterling Griffin was stopped four yards short ofthe first-down marker. Teggart, who beat South Florida with last-minute field goals in their twoprevious meetings, hit from 18, 46, and 28 yards. Connecticut won despite having just 253 yards of offense, and much ofthat came from McCombs, who carried the ball 30 times and recorded hisfourth 100-yard game. The Bulls' defensive line spent much of the afternoon in UConn's back-field, tying a school record with seven sacks. The Huskies had given up just17 in their previous six games. Daniels scored on the Bulls' first drive of the second half with a 22-yardscramble through the UConn defense, cutting left to leave redshirt freshmanlinebacker Yawin Smallwood (Worcester, Mass.) behind on his way to theend zone to give USF a 10-6 lead. But Smallwood later made a key play, tipping a pass that redshirt juniorSio Moore (Apex, N.C.) intercepted to stop a fourth-quarter drive. Offensive mistakes and good defense kept both teams out of the endzone in the first half. USF defensive end Ryne Giddins had nine of his 11 tackles in the firsthalf, to go along with two sacks, a forced fumble. But the Bulls managed just 75 yards of offense and two turnovers beforeintermission. The teams traded field goals in the first quarter. Maikon Bonani hit a 23-yarder to open the scoring, and Teggart capped a 16-play drive on the nextpossession with an 18-yarder. Teggart hit a short kickoff into a strong wind and Marcus Shaw returnedthe kick 79 yards to the UConn 8-yard line. But Daniels' errant pitchout on asecond-down option play was picked up by UConn redshirt junior DwayneGratz (Piscataway, N.J.). UConn gave the ball back a few plays later when McCombs fumbled.But the Bulls failed to score, when a 46-yard field-goal attempt into the windfell short. He also missed a 44-yarder in the third quarter that went wide left. Teggart's second field goal came just before halftime, a 46-yarder thatcapped a 15-play drive and made it 6-3. His third field-goal, a 28-yarder, cutthe lead to 10-9, less than a minute before Martin and Jones teamed up forUConn's defensive score. The Husky offense has now gone two games with-out a touchdown. USF coach Skip Holtz had not been back to Connecticut since coachingthe Huskies from 1994-1998. UConn was still a Division I-AA program then,and Holtz led the school to the Division I-AA playoffs in 1998, the school'sfirst postseason appearance.

PITTSBURGH,�Pa.�-�Quarterback Tino Sunseri was 29 of 42 in the air for acareer-high 419 yards and two TDs to lead Pittsburgh to a 35-20 win overUConn. Pittsburgh outgained UConn in total yardage 529-316 on the nightdespite loosing Ray Graham, the country's second-leading rusher, on hissecond carry of the game. UConn junior quarterback Johnny McEntee (Fullerton, Calif.) struggledin the air as he was 17 of 33 for 193 yards and a two TDs. Redshirt fresh-man Lyle McCombs (Staten Island, N.Y.) enjoyed a productive night on theground as he rushed 25 times for 124 yards. It marked the fifth 100-yardgame of his eight-game collegiate career. Sunseri was also the top ground gainer for the Panthers with 12 carriesfor 40 yards and a TD. Zach Brown was Sunseri's favorite target of the nightwith 9 catches for 84 yards to go with 30 yards gained on the ground. Pittsburgh led 21-3 at halftime but the Huskies scored the first ten pointsof the second half to cut the Panther lead to 21-13 with 4:08 left in the third. Senior Kashif Moore (Burlington, N.J.) scored UConn's only TD of thenight as McEntee found him wide open with 11:35 to go in the third for a 62-yard score to make it 21-10. Moore finished the game with six receptions for106 yards. UConn cut it to 21-13 on its next possession as senior Dave Teggart(Northborough, Mass.) hit a 31-yard field goal. It was Teggart's fifth game ofthe year with multiple field goals and the 19th of his career. That UConn drive began at its own 22 and the Huskies moved all theway to the Pitt 10-yard line for first and goal, but had to settle for the fieldgoal. As it appeared the game might be turning the Huskies' way, Pittsburghquickly came back after the field goal and moved the ball 82 yards on onlyfive plays for a score that made it 28-13. The touchdown was scored on a27-yard pass from Sunseri to Mike Shanahan. Ronald Jones replaced Sunseri late in the fourth quarter and led thePanthers on their fifth touchdown drive of the night as he found Devin Streetfor a 14-yard touchdown reception to cap a three play scoring drive. UConn got a one touchdown back with less than a minute to play asMcEntee hooked up with junior tight end Ryan Griffin (Londonderry, N.H.)from 14 yards out to put the game at 35-20. Pittsburgh completely dominated the first half outgaining the Huskies intotal yardage 321 to 80 and holding a 17-5 first down advantage. The Panthers scored on their first possession as they moved the ball 84yard on eight plays in 2:18. Graham injured his leg on his second rush of thedrive, but the Panthers did not flinch as they gained 51 yards on the next fourplays for the score. Zach Brown had a three-yard rush for the 7-0 Pitt lead. Pittsburgh made it 14-0 on a 17-yard TD pass from Sunseri to Shanahanthat capped a seven-play, 62-yard drive. Sunseri was a perfect five-for-fivein that drive for 54 yards in that drive. UConn finally broke into the scoring column when Teggart hit a 40-yarder with 7:17 left in the half to make it 14-3. Connecticut moved the balleffectively as it started on its own 32 and got the ball to first and ten on thePitt 25, but could only get two yards from there to settle for the field goal.

McCummings, who has spent the season coming in only occasionally asthe Huskies option-style change-of-pace quarterback, took over the offensein the fourth quarter. He scored on a 10-yard keeper, then led UConn on aneight-play 62 yard drive, running the ball in from seven yards out for the win-ning score with just under five minutes to play. Ryan Nassib threw for 275 yards and two touchdowns for Syracuse,which failed for the second straight week to become bowl eligible. His fourth-down pass on the Orange's final drive was knocked down by senior defen-sive tackle Kendall Reyes (Nashua, N.H.) and UConn was able to run outthe clock. Nassib also was picked off twice. Nick Provo had seven catches and a touchdown for the Orange, givinghim 39 receptions for the season and breaking the school's single-seasonrecord for receptions by a tight end. Alec Lemon had nine receptions for 157yards and a score. Provo's six-yard reception on the opening drive of the second half gavethe Orange a 14-7 lead, and the teams went back-and-forth, scoring touch-downs on four consecutive possessions. McCombs tied the game at 14-14 on a three-yard pitch play, andSyracuse responded with a seven-yard reverse play from receiver DorianGraham and led 21-14 after three quarters. That's when McCummings took over, keeping the ball on an option playand diving into the end zone at the end of a seven-yard run to tie the gameat 21 a minute into the fourth quarter. He finished with 13 carries and 59yards, and did't attempt a pass. UConn senior quarterback Johnny McEntee (Fullerton, Calif.) started thegame and was 8-14 for 113 yards and a touchdown, but also threw two inter-ceptions. He moved Connecticut inside the 30-yard line on their first fivedrives of the game, but came away with just seven points. Junior Nick Williams (East Windsor, N.J.) found a lane on the right sideof the field and returned the opening kickoff to the Syracuse 33-yard line.Three plays later, McEntee found redshirt junior tight end John Delahunt(Ottawa, Ont.), who stretched the ball over the goal line for a 10-yard touch-down. It was the first time the Huskies had scored on an opening drive sincetheir third game of season, September 16 against Iowa State. The Huskieshad five first-half turnovers. Syracuse had two, including a fumble by AntwonBailey on the team's first drive, which set UConn up on the Syracuse 27-yardline. But Syracuse’s Phillip Thomas intercepted McEntee two plays later. On the next Husky drive, McCombs took a toss sweep against an insideblitz by Syracuse, turned the corner and ran 63 yards. But McCummingsfumbled the snap on the next play. McCombs also fumbled after the Huskiesdrove to the 26-yard line early in the second quarter. Syracuse broke through with just under two minutes left in the first halfwhen Nassib found Lemon over the middle from 20-yards out to tie the scoreat 7-7. Chandler Jones forced two of the Huskies' fumbles and Thomas' secondinterception set up a 37-yard field goal attempt just before halftime. But RossKrautman pulled it wide left.
