It tied the UConn program record for largest comeback, matching a 2003 win over Western Michigan. UConn (7-3) also notched its seventh win for its first winning campaign since the 2010 team finished 8-5.

Joe Fagnano came on in relief of starter Nick Evers, who was forced out in the third quarter with an injury and connected with Shamar Porter from 6-yards out on the first of three fourth-quarter touchdown drives.

The UConn defense forced a season-high four turnovers. The fourth was a fumble recovery at the UConn 41-yard line that Edwards punctuated with a long touchdown. After UAB turned it over on downs at its 27, Chris Freeman missed a 36-yard field goal that would have made it a two-possession lead.
