UConn: TB Cam Edwards, who had 149 yards rushing against South Florida after starter Victor Rosa went down with an injury. The Huskies sophomore also caught four passes for 15 yards and a touchdown. He was the first Husky to rush for a touchdown and catch a touchdown since Arkeel Newsome did it in 2017.
Boston College: QB Thomas Castellanos leads the nation in rushing yards by a quarterback with 628 on 111 attempts, averaging just under 5.7 yards per carry. He has nine rushing touchdowns, which is ranked eighth in the nation. “Boston College football is back,” the sophomore QB said after the last win. “We’re no longer are the laughingstock of college football or the ACC. We’ve got this thing going.”
