Fenway Bowl

UConn 27, North Carolina 14 >> Joe Fagnano threw for 151 yards and two touchdowns to help UConn beat North Carolina in the Fenway Bowl, embarrassing Bill Belichick’s new team in his old backyard.

Belichick was not spotted in the home of the Boston Red Sox, about an hour north of the stadium where he and Tom Brady hung six Super Bowl championship banners. Interim coach Freddie Kitchens, who like Belichick is a former Cleveland Browns coach, took over when Mack Brown was fired and handled the bowl preparations.

Mel Brown rushed for 96 yards for the Huskies.

Pinstripe Bowl

Nebraska 20, Boston College 15 >> Dylan Raiola passed for 228 yards and a touchdown as Nebraska built an 18-point lead through three quarters in the Pinstripe Bowl and hung on to beat Boston College for its first bowl victory since 2015.

Raiola completed 23 of 31 passes in front of a sizable Nebraska crowd that celebrated the team’s first bowl win since topping UCLA in the 2015 Foster Farms Bowl and first winning season since 2016.

New Mexico Bowl

TCU 34, Louisiana-Lafayette 3 >> Josh Hoover passed for four touchdowns to help TCU beat Louisiana-Lafayette in the New Mexico Bowl.

Military Bowl

East Carolina 26, north carolina state 21 >> Rahjai Harris broke free for an 86-yard touchdown run with 1:33 remaining, giving East Carolina a pulsating victory over N.C. State in the Military Bowl in a game that descended into a wild brawl in the final minute.

After an interception by Dontavius Nash ended N.C. State’s final drive, East Carolina’s attempt to run out the clock was interrupted by a large-scale fight between the two in-state rivals — who play each other again to start next season.

Three players for ECU and five for N.C. State were ejected.
