Against all odds, UConn football played a competitive game and held a late lead against a decent FBS opponent, but the end result was a familiar one. The Huskies had a chance to tie the game in the waning seconds but it ended with a 24-22 loss at Rentschler Field.
The first quarter was all UConn. The Huskies jumped out to a 10-0 lead after a reverse flea-flicker led to a 42-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Phommachanh to tight end Jay Rose. Wyoming punted, missed a field goal, and then quarterback Sean Chambers threw an interception to Myles Bell to go scoreless in the opening 15 minutes.
