In a game that was tied in the foutth quarter and pretty competitive throughout, UConn football collapsed late in a 49-28 loss.
Both sides of the ball looked much better for the Huskies in this one. UConn kept pace in the first quarter and most of the second after SMU struck first with a touchdown to Courtland Sutton. On the following drive, Bryant Shirreffs hit Aaron McLean on a quick out and McLean was able to turn the corner and go 64 yards all the way to the house. He finished with five receptions for 122 yards and the score.
