ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Bryan Shirreffs threw for 256 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score and UConn snapped a three-game losing streak with a 40-13 victory over Central Florida in an American Athletic Conference game Saturday afternoon.
Shirreffs generated two scores in the final 57 seconds of the first half that helped the Huskies (3-3, 1-1) take a 23-3 halftime lead.
Shirriffs plowed in on a 1-yard keeper two plays after Jhavon Williams' 19-yard interception return put the ball on the UCF 9, then, after an Obi Melifonwu interception, Shirreffs connected with Noel Thomas for a 16-yard touchdown with 49 seconds left in the half.
