EAST HARTFORD — The clock ran out, and the UConn football team walked off its home turf with win No. 6.

Two things worth noting Saturday at Rentschler Field. The Huskies bounced back off their disappointing loss at Rice to put forth one of their best all-around efforts of the season, and win No. 6 is no longer t he magic number it once was for UConn football.

“I’m not going to lie, UConn just reminded me that win was bowl eligibility,” said Skyler Bell, who caught three touchdown passes. “That’s great, get another bowl eligibility. Got to keep that going, get three more wins.”

Cam Chadwick, who got three interceptions in the Huskies’ 38-19 win over Alabama-Birmingham, reiterated, “We’re happy, but that’s what we expect, to be bowl eligible.”
