Final Score: UConn Loses to UCF, 24-16

The UConn Huskies fell in disappointing fashion to the UCF Knights at Pratt and Whitney Stadium Saturday afternoon, 24-16. After showing a lot of promise in recent weeks, the Huskies laid an egg despite taking an early lead.

For the first time all season, UConn scored multiple times in the first quarter. Both were field goals but hey, it’s progress. The Huskies received the opening kick and promptly drove 68 yards downfield but stalled at the UCF five to set up the first field goal of the game for Bobby Puyol.

UConn stopped the Knights’ 4th-down attempt on their ensuing drive to set up another field goal to take a 6-0 lead after the opening quarter.
