UConn football lived up to lofty pregame expectations on Saturday, earning its largest win of the season, a 33-12 triumph over Florida International. The Huskies rode a commanding rushing attack and forced three turnovers to earn their third win of the season and second in a row.
UConn (3-4) stayed true to its offensive identity, flattening FIU with 295 rushing yards on 6.4 yards per carry. Devontae Houston led the way with 135 yards on the ground on 11 carries while true freshman Victor Rosa scored the Huskies’ first two touchdowns as he rushed for 89 yards. Backup quarterback Cale Millen threw a touchdown pass on a trick play and also ran one in from 49 yards out to close out the game in the fourth quarter.
