On Saturday night, Kalieb Osborne led the Connecticut Huskies to a dominant 48-20 victory over Southern Miss in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Osborne contributed significantly with two touchdown passes and two rushing touchdowns. He completed 16 of 22 passes for 214 yards and added 32 yards on the ground. Cyncir Bowers also had a notable performance, scoring a 42-yard touchdown run that helped UConn build an early lead.
Osborne started strong with a 38-yard pass to Shamar Porter ending a long opening drive. The Huskies maintained their advantage throughout, reaching halftime up 27-6 and widening the gap in the final quarter. Anas Luqman intercepted a Southern Miss pass for UConn's only defensive touchdown of the game.
Southern Miss's Landry Lyddy threw one touchdown and an interception while Steven Robinson managed 72 yards rushing with a late score, but it wasn't enough to stop the Huskies' momentum. Up next, Connecticut will play Miami (Ohio), and Southern Miss faces Tulane in their respective games this Saturday.
