Zion Turner threw for a touchdown, the UConn defense forced five turnovers and the Huskies beat Boston College 13-3 on Saturday for their first win in the series dating to 1908. BC starter Phil Jurkovec and Emmett Morehead combined to throw three interce ptions, helping the Huskies get their first win against the Eagles in 15 tries (1-12-2). Jurkovec started 12 of 19 for 155 yards with two interceptions and was injured trying to avoid a tackle midway through third quarter. He did not return following a b rief visit to the sideline medical tent. Morehead went 7 for 16 for 75 yards in his place.The Huskies, back from their bye week, wasted little time getting on the board as Turner connected with Justin Joly for a 62-yard touchdown on the game's thi rd play. It was UConn's longest play from scrimmage this season, and it was also the second score in as many games for Joly, a freshman tight end. UConn's defense stepped up moments later, stuffing Jurkovec on a quarterback keeper from the Huskies 34. Th e Huskies promptly took advantage of the short field by extending their lead to 10-0 on a 31-yard field goal by Noe Ruelas. The Huskies got interceptions by Chris Shearin, Durante Jones and Jackson Mitchell. Turner finished 10 of 18 for 173 yards and one touchdown. Ruelas' second field goal, from 43 yards, came off a fumble recovery and gave UConn a 13-3 lead with 6:26 remaining. - UConn/AP College Football

In last week's 31-20 loss to Utah State, the freshman Turner came in after just 10 offensive plays after Ta'Quan Roberson left with a knee injury. Turner's first pass resulted in an interception. Things were difference against CCSU. Carter, who rushed for a career-high 190 yards last week, led the way on the ground as UConn (1-1) rushed for 274 yards and held CCSU to 242 total yards.Brian Brewton had 10 of UConn's 54 carries and rushed for 62 yards, and Victor Rosa added his first career touchdown on the ground. Romelo W illiams, who threw for 1,452 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, was 16-of-30 passing for 164 yards with an interception for CCSU (0-1), which is coming off a 4-7 season in 2021. Malik Thomas rushed for 63 yards on five carries and Kyren Petteway caught six passes for 61 yards. Mora, the former NFL and UCLA coach is trying to rebuild a program that didn't play football in 2020 because of the pandemic, went 1-11 a year ago and have won just four games since the end of the 2017 season. - Connecticut/AP C ollege Football
