The University of Connecticut football team dominated Florida Atlantic in a 48-14 victory on Saturday, with running backs Durell Robinson and Mel Brown each rushing for 156 yards. Robinson scored two touchdowns while quarterback Nick Evers ran for 78 yards and scored two touchdowns of his own. The Huskies built a 27-0 lead and totaled 542 yards, with a staggering 421 coming on the ground.
FAU’s CJ Campbell did manage to score two touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Huskies’ strong performance. The two teams had not faced each other since 2002, when UConn secured a 61-14 victory.
The win brings UConn’s record to 2-2 for the season, while FAU drops to 1-3. The teams are set to meet again next season at FAU. This game marks a significant victory for the Huskies and showcases their strength on the field. With a powerful running game and impressive performances from key players, UConn demonstrated their ability to dominate on both offense and defense. Fans can look forward to future matchups as the Huskies continue to prove themselves as a force to be reckoned with in college football.
