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

Fagnano took over after starting quarterback Nick Evers was sidelined with an injury with nine minutes left in the first half. 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.

Upton Bellenfant got the only points for the Bulls (3-2) with a second-quarter field goal.

There was a special send-off at Bradley International Airport on Saturday as dozens of veterans took part in Honor Flight Connecticut.

The 70 veterans and 50 guardians left from the airport with Honor Flight staff for their journey to Washington, DC.

Honor Flight Connecticut brings military veterans to Washington, DC, to visit memorials that commemorate their service and recognizes those who have served our country.

The veterans who participated in Saturday’s honor flight served in the Korean and Vietnam wars and represent the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps.

The group is scheduled to arrive back in Connecticut later Saturday evening.
