Dennis earned the start at cornerback for a young defensive backfield that shut down Central Connecticut throughout the duration of a 27-13 win. In addition to making two tackles in a victory that snapped Saint Francis’ five-game slide, the rookie cornerback picked off a pass and broke up another as part of an effort that limited the Blue Devils to 81 yards through the air and a 34.7 completion percentage. His first career interception came late in the first quarter and put the Flash in prime position to score their third touchdown of the game to take a 21-0 lead. He broke up a third-down pass attempt in the second quarter, forcing Central to punt.
