UConn stays unbeaten, 26-21

Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Lawrence Wilson returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown with 2:45 remaining to give Connecticut a 26-21 victory over Louisville last night.

Donald Brown ran for 190 yards and a touchdown for the Huskies (5-0, 1-0 Big East), who rode the legs of the nation's leading rusher to stay in it after starting quarterback Tyler Lorenzen was sidelined by a foot injury.

Sophomore Zach Frazer threw for 90 yards and a touchdown in place of Lorenzen.

Louisville (2-2, 0-1) moved the ball effortlessly at times and piled up 508 yards of total offense, but couldn't hold a 21-10 lead with 10:06 left in the third quarter.

Louisville redshirt freshman running back Victor Anderson ran for 100 yards and had a touchdown running and receiving, and Bilal Powell added 112 yards and a touchdown, but Louisville had trouble throwing the ball after quarterback Hunter Cantwell injured his left ankle in the third quarter.
