UConn Wins 20-17 at Buffalo on Last-Second FG

UConn beat Buffalo 20-17 when Chris Freeman drilled a 44-yard field goal with seconds remaining after a 10-play, last-minute drive, giving the Huskies their first road victory and moving them to 3-2. Joe Fagnano completed 19 of 31 passes for 155 yards and a touchdown and also led the team with about 64 rushing yards. Skyler Bell had six catches for 54 yards and a score, and Cam Edwards added an 8-yard rushing touchdown. Buffalo countered with big plays, including Lamar Sperling’s 63-yard touchdown run and Gunnar Gray’s late 5-yard scoring pass to Al-Jay Henderson that tied the game. The contest was a defensive grind — the teams combined for roughly 629 yards and struggled on third down. Coach Jim Mora called it a 'gut-check' win, said the team remains short of its potential, and noted the result halted two earlier late-game road collapses; UConn returns home next week to face Florida International.
