UConn 7, Tulane 3
Tulane Game 9
Yulman Stadium
New Orleans, La.
* Saturday's meeting between Tulane and UConn marked just the second meeting between the two schools. With today's win by the Huskies, the series is now tied, 1-1. The Green Wave defeated UConn last year, 12-3, at Yulman Stadium.
* Tulane is now 0-2 at Yulman Stadium on homecoming. The Green Wave dropped their inaugural homecoming contest at Yulman Stadium last season to Memphis, 38-7.
* Saturday's contest marked the first game at Yulman Stadium in which it rained.
* With senior SS Darion Monroe's interception to close out the first half, Tulane has now recorded a turnover in 42 of 46 games under head coach Curtis Johnson. It also marked the first turnover for Tulane after a two-game hiatus, as the Green Wave did not record an interception or fumble recovery at Navy or at Memphis during the last two weekends.
* Tulane has now posted 101 turnovers (57 Int/44 FR) during Johnson's tenure.
* Monroe's interception marked the fifth of his career, as well as his second of the season. The senior also had an interception against Maine on Sept. 19.
* Senior SS Darion Monroe logged 11 tackles (8 solo, 3 assists) on the evening, marking his third game of the season with double-digit tackles.
* Junior linebacker Nico Marley logged 10 tackles on the day, including seven solo stops. Marley has two double-digit tackle games this season and five for this career.
* Marley entered the game ranked third in the American and 36th nationally in solo stops with 42. He now has 49 on the year or 5.4 per game.
* Redshirt-sophomore CB Parry Nickerson's blocked field goal with 5:33 remaining in the third marked the first blocked field goal since Derrick Strozier did so at Rice on Nov. 30, 2013.
* Tulane picked up a first down on a fake punt with about 7:00 remaining in the fourth quarter, marking the third time this year the Green Wave have successfully picked up a first down on a fake punt this season.

The 9.0 TFLs were registered by eight different players, which recorded at least a 0.5 TFL on the day.
* UConn tallied just 227 yards of total offense on the day, which is the least amount of yards surrendered by the Green Wave defense since 233 last season at UCF.
* For the first time in his career, sophomore receiver Teddy Veal did not register as reception, which snapped a string of 20 straight games.
