UConn football ends its season with a 6-7 record after losing the Myrtle Beach Bowl to Marshall, 28-14, at Brooks Stadium in Conway, South Carolina.
While the Huskies made their much-anticipated return to the postseason for the first time since 2015’s St. Petersburg Bowl, where they also lost to Marshall, ugly turnovers on two early drives led to two Marshall touchdowns that put them in a very quick 14-0 hole.
Prior to the giveaways, the game got off to a promising start for Jim Mora’s squad. Marshall got the ball first and though the offense moved 35 yards downfield, Ian Swenson forced a fumble on quarterback Cam Fancher, recovered by Durante Jones.
