Few interesting comments within:

>>But this game may have, well, knocked some sense into him about trusting his arm more than his feet. "Yeah for sure," Shirreffs said. "There have definitely been other games, but it was definitely exemplified that I could stay in the pocket a little longer on a couple plays and I paid the price."<<

>> Sophomore guards Trey Rutherford (6-5, 300 pounds) and Steve Hashemi (6-6, 286) could help Shirreffs going forward. UConn coach Bob Diaco said they're ready for increased roles.<<

>>Vontae Diggs, a 6-2, 225-pound outside linebacker, plays behind Graham Stewart. He's a gifted athlete, yet you need more to play this game. "I'm nowhere near where I want to be," Diggs said. "The coaches keep telling me I'm getting better and better every day. I'm working on being physical, getting my weight up so I can play inside the box a little bit in certain coverages and anything else they ask me to do. ... I want to keep improving at reading plays, diagnosing what's happening, getting lined up, just being able to see the whole picture on offense."<<

>>Newsome, with 45 rushing yards, 37 receiving yards and 44 yards on two kickoff returns, has 1,074 all-purpose yards. He topped 1,000 for the second consecutive year. The sophomore from Ansonia is averaging 134.2 total yards.<<
