Bob Diaco and the UConn Huskies grabbed an unexpected and very important win at Rentschler Field against Cincinnati. It is the first win for UConn over the Bearcats since 2010 and gets the Huskies back to .500 on the season. The Huskies started off poorly but recovered on both sides of the ball as they battled back to score 20 unanswered.
UConn played for field position early, downing two punts deep in Cincinnati territory in the first quarter. The Bearcats’ opening drive moved downfield but ended on a 4th-down drop in UConn territory. The rest of the first quarter saw little offensive production from either team as it ended in a scoreless tie.
