Efficient in Fenway Bowl win Fagnano completed 16 of 23 passes for 151 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 27-14 victory over North Carolina. He also had eight rushes for 10 yards.

Impact Fagnano was very good manager against North Carolina in winning the Fenway Bowl. The senior did not throw an interception in a balanced offensive attack. Fagnano pretty much shared work this season under center with Nick Evers who missed significant time with an injury. Evers did get into the bowl game for a couple of plays and could be the favorite to start under center next season with Fagnano graduating.

Tosses pair TDs in start Fagnano completed 27 of 48 passes for 228 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 31-24 defeat versus Syracuse.

Impact With Nick Evers (undisclosed) injured, Fagnano returned under center. On the one hand the 27 completions were a personal best at UConn, but he averaged only 8.5 yards per completion. If Evers is still on the shelf, Fagnano will have a tough time against a UMass defense (Nov. 30) that is in the top 10 in the country against the pass. Most of the opponents preferred the run, the Minutemen defense has given up 193 yards per game on the ground and approximately 3 rushing touchdowns per game.

The senior has seen time in seven games this season, completing 62-off-110 pass attempts for 1,071 yards and 13 touchdowns. If he starts the next game against Syracuse, Nov. 23, he might have a tougher time throwing the ball against the Orangemen defense that is top 40 in the country against the pass.

Leads the way in relief Fagnano completed 24 of 41 passes for 272 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 29-20 win over Temple. He also had seven rushes for negative three yards.

Impact It was Fagnano's best game as a starter this season against a FBS team. He threw for 328 yards and five touchdowns against FCS Merrimack on Sept. 7. The lone negative against Temple was the two interceptions. With a bye week this coming weekend, Fagnano might return as the backup with a possible return of starting quarterback Nick Evers with head injury. If he does start on Oct. 19 against Wake Forest, the senior could be in for a big game against Demon Deacons whose defense is near the bottom against the pass in the country.

Excels in victory Fagnano was 11-for-19 passing for 217 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 47-3 victory versus Buffalo. He also had six rushes for 19 yards.

Impact Fagnano came in the second quarter as starting quarterback Nick Evers was injured with nine minutes left in the first half. It was the best performance against an FBS team this season. If Fagnano is under center against Temple (Oct. 7), he will have a tougher time throwing the ball aganst the Owls defense that is in the top 10 in the country against the pass. It will probably be a running game on offense as Temple is at the bottom in the country against the run.
