UConn Finishes Unbeaten at Home With 26-16 Win Over Air Force

Cam Edwards' 165-yard surge put him over 1,000 yards to strengthen UConn's bowl profile.

Overview

  • Edwards rushed for 165 yards on 24 carries with touchdown runs of 8 and 5 yards, becoming UConn's first 1,000-yard rusher since 2019.
  • UConn improved to 8-3 and 6-0 at Rentschler Field for its first unbeaten home season since 2010.
  • Air Force dropped to 3-7 after a failed 4th-and-goal try and a missed 53-yard field goal that swung momentum in a lower-than-expected scoring game.
  • Quarterback Joe Fagnano went 15-of-23 for 155 yards with a rushing score and his first interception of the season.
  • Falcons starter Liam Szarka exited late in the second quarter with a hand injury as Kemper Hodges finished, leaving Air Force's bowl hopes effectively over.
