RECAP: UConn Falls Short At Utah State 31-20
Photo by Chris Gardner/Getty ImagesIt’s not exactly a moral victory when your team is already short on depth and your starting quarterback goes down. However, UConn’s performance was much better than expected in an 11-point loss that was expected to be a 27-point loss. UConn still have not beaten an FBS opponent since they beat UMass back in 2019.
Utah State ultimately was able to open their season with a win by a score of 31-20 on their home turf. Quarterback Logan Bonner, the MVP of last season’s Mountain West Championship Game, finished with 20 completions on 29 attempts for 281 yards and three touchdowns. Utah State’s Calvin Tyler Jr. also ran for 161 yards on 33 carries.
