Each Sunday, On3 takes a look at some interesting stats you should know coming out of that week’s games. Here are 11 stats from Week 11.

Minus-49: During the first half of its 44-7 loss to Clemson, UConn was nearly as close to minus-100 rushing yards as it was to zero. The Huskies’ first-half rushing total: minus-49. Contributing to that was six Clemson sacks and the Huskies having only one first-half run of more than 2 yards. UConn, which trailed 30-7 at halftime, got its only points on a game-opening kickoff return for a touchdown. The Huskies finished the game with 99 total yards, minus-17 rushing yards and a combined conversion rate of 0-of-18 on third and fourth downs.

3: Samford WR Montrell Washington had three touchdowns during the Bulldogs’ 70-52 loss to Florida, which Samford led 42-35 at halftime. Washington became the first FCS player since former Villanova and Philadelphia Eagles star Brian Westbrook in 1998 to score a rushing, receiving and kick-return touchdown in a game against a Power 5 opponent, as per ESPN Stats & Info. Samford’s 42 first-half points are the most Florida ever has allowed in a half.

5: Florida State DE Jermaine Johnson recorded five tackles for loss and three sacks in a 31-28 win over Miami. Johnson, a Georgia transfer, and Wisconsin LB Leo Chenal are the only two players this season to post at least five tackles for loss and at least three sacks in a game between Power 5 teams. Johnson is tied for fifth nationally in tackles for loss (15.5) and tied for fourth in sacks (10.5).

14: During No. 13 Baylor’s 27-14 win over No. 8 Oklahoma, the Bears’ highly ranked defense held the Sooners to their fewest points in a regular-season game since 2014. Oklahoma’s yardage total (260) was its lowest since Lincoln Riley took over as coach in 2017.

40: Mississippi State overcame a 28-3 second-quarter deficit during a win over Auburn, scoring 40 consecutive points on its way to a 43-34 victory. In the second half, Bulldogs QB Will Rogers had more than twice as many touchdown passes (five) as incompletions (two). He finished the game 44-of-55 for 415 yards and six touchdowns.

56: Kansas’ win over Texas was the Jayhawks’ first Big 12 road victory since 2008, snapping a 56-game losing streak in Big 12 road games. Kansas was a 31-point underdog.
