EAST HARTFORD, Conn. -- — Joe Fagnano came off the bench to throw three touchdown passes to Skyler Bell and UConn beat Buffalo 47-3 on Saturday.

Fagnano found Bell all alone for a 40-yard touchdown and a 23-0 halftime lead. In the third quarter, Fagnano and Bell combined for 70- and 11-yard touchdowns and Mel Brown weaved his way to a 23-yard rushing score and a 44-3 Huskies (3-2) lead.
Fagnano was 11 of 19 for 217 passing yards. Bell made six catches for 153 yards, the first 150-plus-yard receiving game by a UConn receiver since 2019. His three touchdown receptions are the most for the Huskies since Dak Newton had three against Villanova in 1996.
Cam Edwards ran for a 43-yard touchdown and finished with 97 yards rushing on 10 carries. Chris Freeman kicked four field goals.
The Huskies outgained the Bulls 537-198.
