UConn turned an expected blowout into a rock fight at Rentschler Field, pulling out a gutsy win against Fresno State, 19-14. True freshman quarterback Zion Turner led UConn (2-4) on a crucial late fourth-quarter drive to give the Huskies the lead for good.
With 8:26 left in the fourth quarter and UConn down 14-12, Turner and the Huskies took over on their 19-yard line and relied on the ground game led by running backs Robert Burns and Victor Rosa before connecting with wide receiver Kevens Clercius, who hauled in an impressive back-shoulder throw from Turner for a 40-yard gain and brought the Huskies onto the Bulldogs’ side of the field.
