Connecticut held off a late Ball State rally for a 31-25 victory, sparked by Cam Edwards' explosive fourth quarter featuring touchdown runs of 32 and 67 yards. The Huskies built an early lead with Joe Fagnano finding Skyler Bell for a touchdown and never trailed throughout the contest. Despite a frantic finish with the Cardinals scoring a touchdown and two-point conversion with just nine seconds remaining, UConn's balanced offense proved too much for Ball State to overcome.
