EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Jordan Todman ran for 190 yards and two touchdowns to lead Connecticut to a 40-21 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday, just the second win for the Big East over a BCS conference team this season.
Todman, who carried the ball 37 times, has now rushed for over 100 yards in seven of his last eight games. He missed last week’s game against Buffalo with an injured left arm.
The Huskies (3-2) outscored the Commodores 19-0 in the second half, after going into intermission tied at 21.
Cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson put the game away when he stepped in front of receiver Akeem Dunham, returning the interception 44 yards for a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to put the Huskies up 38-21.
Larry Smith threw for 157 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 64 yards to lead Vanderbilt (1-3).
