Skyler Bell News, Rumors, Updates - UConn Huskies

Plays just three snaps in bowl game Bell played just three snaps in UConn's 41-16 loss to Army in the Fenway Bowl, per Pro Football Focus.

Impact Bell planned on playing in the Huskies' bowl game, but he wound up playing just three snaps. The star receiver is an NFL Draft prospect, and was likely not trying to put himself in harms way. Especially considering Army rolled over UConn, Bell had little incentive to play. He'll now look towards the NFL after he posted 101 catches for 1,276 yards and 13 touchdowns.

At the same time, Bell also logged 195 receiving yards, and them being a relative disappointment shows just how excellent he has been in regular-season action this year.
