Clark Lea and Vanderbilt picked up the second win of the season thanks to a last-second field goal from Joseph Bulovas to knock off UConn on Saturday night.

Vanderbilt won 40-28 as QB Ken Seals was 27-for-40 passing for 333 yards, 2 touchdowns and an interception. Rocko Griffin added 77 yards and a rushing touchdown.

Bulovas’ kick came at the end of a 7-play, 47-yard drive over the final 1:07 of the game after the Commodores (2-3) relinquished a 27-16 fourth-quarter lead. They were aided by personal foul on a kickoff return and a pass interference by the Huskies to get into position to win.

Here’s some of what Lea told the media after the game:
