Game Notes

#5 Bearcats escape with a 47-45 win over the Huskies.

Cincinnati's rout turns into a nail-biter as UConn rallies after being down by 20 points twice in the 2nd half. However, after Zach Frazer's 9-yard TD pass to Marcus Easley cuts the lead to 2 points w/ :13 left, Cincinnati recovers the onside kick to preserve the win.

Zack Collaros throws for 480 yards and 1 TD and runs for 75 yards and 2 more TDs to lead the Bearcats. The Huskies counter with Jordan Todman, who runs for 162 yards and 4 TDs. After Collaros' 28-yard TD run gives Cincinnati a 37-17 lead in the 3rd quarter, UConn starts its rally when Robert McClain returns a punt 87 yards for a TD, and then Todman scores twice in the 4th quarter and adds a 2-point conversion.
