UConn-Buffalo: Cody Endres Leads Huskies Offense in Second-Half Win
UConn looked terrible in the first half on Saturday at home against Buffalo. It was clear that a change needed to be made, and Randy Edsall called on junior Cody Endres.
Endres, back from suspension, was ready when Edsall came calling. He performed in the second half, leading the Huskies to a 45-21 win over Buffalo.
Endres was 7-of-11 for 139 yards and two touchdowns. His third pass attempt was a beautiful 56-yard touchdown connection with Michael Smith.
Zach Frazer continued to get the first-team reps this week, even though he had underperformed. Frazer led the Huskies at the end last year, but he has struggled this season. It finally came to an end after he was intercepted late in the second quarter.
He was inaccurate, and his inability to put points on the board resulted in his benching. For now, it is Endres who has the keys to this UConn offense.
As long as he remains efficient and accurate he will continue to start at quarterback. In a year where the Big East doesn't have a team ranked in the top 25 currently, of course this UConn team could challenge for the automatic BCS berth if it continues to win games.
The UConn defense looked strong against Buffalo sacking the quarterback and making interceptions. This Huskies team is no front-runner, but they need to continue to make strides.
It takes time and this college football season is a long year.
Look for Cody Endres to remain the focal point of the Huskies offense.
