UConn Huskies football coach Jason Candle selects players of the game after victories, but good luck to him figuring out who they are following a dominant 46-22 win over James Madison on Saturday in East Hartford, Conn.

Kalieb Osborne threw three touchdown passes, Cyncir Bowers scored three TDs and Ky “Flash” Wilson went end zone to end zone for a 100-yard kickoff return and an additional score at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field.

The win moved UConn to 5-5 on the season. The Huskies can secure bowl eligibility with a win against Old Dominion (3-7) in their home finale next Saturday.

It was the third loss in four games for James Madison (8-3), which has a late-season bye next week before closing the season against Coastal Carolina.

The Dukes qualified for the College Football Playoff last season.

The Huskies came away with a victory because they played maybe their most complete game of the season in all three parts of the game. Let’s break down how the offense and defense performed.

After committing three turnovers last week in a 38-21 home loss to North Carolina, Osborne connected on 16-of-20 pass attempts for 274 yards. Combine that with 230 rushing yards, and UConn put up 504 total yards.

Bowers accounted for 123 of those yards on the ground on 25 carries, which included runs of 9 and 17 yards for touchdowns. He added a TD on a 2-yard reception.

Osborne ran for 88 yards on 16 carries with a long of 36. He also found Shamar Porter for a 67-yard touchdown reception, with Porter tallying 135 yards on four catches.

UConn scored on seven of its 10 possessions. The Huskies punted just once, with the other drives ending in a missed field-goal attempt and the clock’s expiration.

Unlike some games earlier in the season, the defense was stellar.

James Madison entered the game with the seventh-best scoring offense in the nation, averaging 40.6 points per game. They also came in with an average of 455.6 yards per game, 16th in the NCAA.

Quarterback Camden Coleman had been at the controls for most of the season, but first-year coach Billy Napier has given the reins to JC Evans more frequently as the team’s struggles have grown.

Evans played the entire game and completed 27 of his 42 passes for 236 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He was the Dukes’ leading rusher with 49 yards and two touchdowns.

James Madison managed just 95 yards on the ground, less than half of its average of 199.4 – which ranked 25th in the nation. The Dukes’ 331 yards were well below their season average.

The Huskies defense sacked Evans three times and had six quarterback hits. Linebackers Hayden Pegg (11 tackles), K’Von Sherman (seven) and John Lista (six) combined for 24 stops.
