Amherst, N.Y.  — Johnny McEntee threw his first two career touchdown passes, including a 49-yarder to Nick Williams, in the University of Connecticut’s 17-3 win over Buffalo on Saturday.

A third-year walk-on, McEntee finished 12 of 21 for 213 yards to help the Huskies (2-2) snap a two-game skid. Williams had two catches for 113 yards, including a 64-yard reception that set up Mark Hinkley’s 4-yard touchdown catch.

The defense did the rest to help the Big East Conference Huskies extend their win streak over Buffalo to seven games. Yawin Smallwood had an interception in the end zone as part of a stout defensive performance that limited the Bulls to score only 3 points from three trips into the red zone.

Chazz Anderson finished 18 of 39 for 193 yards passing with an interception for Buffalo (1-3), which has lost 10 of its last 11.
