In five of the past seven years, including 2007, ‘08 and ‘09, UConn was recog-nized by the American Football Coaches Association for its high graduation rate. UConn’s overall GSR in 2009 was the third-highest of the more than 50 state universities that participated in a bowl game. In 2012, the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) for the UConn football team was an impressive 963 over a four-year cycle, with a one-year mark of 950 for the 2010-11 academic year. The 963 was above the national average for FBS schools (952) and public institutions (943). UConn’s 2013 APR score of 958 was 11 points higher than the national average of public institutions.

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 car-ried 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 touchdown catches for Connecticut and redshirt junior wide receiver Ger-emy 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 (Harris-burg, 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 shoul-der 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 touch-down. 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 touchdowns. 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 breathing 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 territory, 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 re-sponded 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 Whit-mer’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 Tous-saint 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 re-deemed 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.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. - USF kicker Marvin Kloss hit two field goals and Aaron Lynch returned a fumble 44 yards for a touch-down 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 Con-necticut, 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 sec-ond 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 Ju-lius Forte blocked a 47-yard field goal attempt, the second week in a row that USF has blocked a kick.

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 interceptions 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, intercepting 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 intercep-tion 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 fresh-man 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 run-ning 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.
