After seven games and one half of pure misery, UConn football earned its first victory in nearly two years on Saturday, defeating Yale 21-15 in a game that came down to the final play.
UConn fans watched from between their hands as Yale’s quarterback chucked up a hailmary on an untimed down into the endzone, but the Huskies grabbed an interception to seal a win.
The fact is, it should have never even come to that point. The Huskies manhandled the Yalies defensively all day. Kevon Jones and Eric Watts lived in the backfield, and both Yale quarterbacks were constantly running for their lives, due to tremendous play from UConn’s defensive line and DBs.
