MIAMI – True freshman quarterback Max Brosmer (Roswell, Ga.) passed for a pair of touchdowns – including an 86-yard score to redshirt freshman Dylan Laube (Westhampton, N.Y.)-- in his first collegiate start to lead the University of New Hampshire football team in a hard-fought 30-17 loss in a rainy Riccardo Silva Stadium at Florida International University on Saturday night.
Laube and sophomore receiver Brian Espanet (Hopedale, Mass.) each caught his first career touchdown pass.

UNH is 0-2. The Wildcats were playing up a level against Florida International, an FBS school with more scholarships and resources than FCS teams such as UNH.
Brosmer and Laube teamed up for their 86-yard score with 10:20 left in the third period. Laube broke a couple of tackles at the 50-yard line on his way to the end zone and UNH grabbed a 17-13 lead.
It was the Wildcats' first TD pass covering at least 80 yards since Sean Goldrich and R.J. Harris combined on an 80-yarder Nov. 8, 2014 in a win over Rhode Island.
