UConn QB Joe Fagnano's Historic Streak Snaps

UConn Huskies quarterback Joe Fagnano’s unprecedented streak came to an end on November 15, when he threw his first interception of the 2025 season against Air Force at Rentschler Field. With just under five minutes remaining in the first quarter, Air Force defensive linebacker Max Mustell intercepted a tipped pass, breaking Fagnano's remarkable 385-pass attempt streak without a turnover through the air. 

Despite the turnover, UConn managed to secure a 26-16 victory over the Falcons as Fagnano finished with 15 completions of 23 passes for 155 yards and one interception. He rushed in for a 10-yard touchdown in the opening drive. 

Fagnano had thrown at least one touchdown pass in eight consecutive games before facing Air Force, another streak that snapped that day. He had thrown 25 touchdown passes across 343 attempts without an interception, joining Joe Burrow at LSU as the only quarterback in recent years to accomplish such a feat. 

Joe Fagnano’s Impressive Season Despite Broken Streak

Joe Fagnano has delivered one of the most statistically impressive seasons any FBS quarterback has produced in recent years, accumulating 2,995 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and just one interception through eleven games while maintaining a stellar 68.6% completion percentage. 

Fagnano opened the 2025 season in spectacular fashion against Central Connecticut State on August 30, completing 18 of 25 passes for 260 yards and three passing touchdowns, adding another touchdown on the ground in a dominant 59-13 victory. 

In a much less impressive outing, Fagnano completed 24 of 43 passes for just 259 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions in the 27-20 overtime loss to the Syracuse Orange. 

The struggles continued in Week 3 as UConn traveled to Delaware on September 13 in another overtime contest. Fagnano bounced back somewhat with 28 completions on 38 attempts for 346 yards and two touchdowns, though the Huskies fell 44-41 in another heartbreaking overtime defeat. 

The turning point arrived in Week 4 on September 20 when UConn hosted Ball State. Fagnano engineered a 31-25 victory by completing 20 of 30 passes for 181 yards and one touchdown. He followed it up with a 155-yard and one touchdown performance in a 20-17 road victory at Buffalo.

In Week 6 on October 4, Fagnano delivered what would be matched only once more this season, torching FIU with 22 completions on 28 attempts for a career-best 355 yards and four touchdowns in a dominant 51-10 victory. 

To everybody’s surprise, Fagnano would surpass that output just two weeks later. On October 18 at Boston College, he completed 23 of 31 passes for 362 yards and four touchdowns, adding a rushing touchdown in the Huskies' 38-23 triumph.
