Senior linebacker Junior Joseph led the UConn Huskies with 11 tackles in last week’s win over Temple to go along with one sack and two pass break-ups. He had seven tackles, 1 TFL, in the win over Tulsa and also made the key pass break-up to seal the game on the final play.
The Golden Hurricane brought a pretty good offense which seemed to be operating on all cylinders after dropping 45 points on Houston the previous week. Joseph’s defense was up for the challenge of the top-40 offense after the confidence-building win at Temple.
