UConn got back on track after losing four straight by knocking off #15 West Virginia last night, 38-21.
From the Associated Press:
AP- Turmoil in the Big East to say the least. On a cool crisp autumn evening, the Connecticut Huskies showed what it takes to get the back in bowl contention. “We just wanted to go out there and play OUR game,” said coach Aroo. “The past few games I think we tightened up a bit and got away from what has worked for us in the past. We knew there was no stopping Devine, but if we slowed him down a bit and made Pat White throw the ball, then good things could happen.” The Huskies did just that. Devine did run for over 100 yards but 50 of those came on a breakaway run in the 3rd. Instead the brunt of the offense was thrust onto the shoulders of Pat White. “We thought that if we could keep the to 3rd and long that we could force Pat to do things he wasn’t used to doing. Our linebackers and safeties came up huge today making sure that he stayed in the backfield and gave our corners a chance for man coverage on the receivers,” noted coach Aroo. If for only one night, they seemed to be clicking on all cylinders. The offense sustained an injury to Tyler Lorenzen that doesn’t seem to be too serious, but DJ Hernandez stepped right in. Overall, a great game played here in Hartford that was very tight until a touchdown scored in the waning moments. We have seen great play from the Big East this year and this reporter believes that the best football is still yet to come.
Next up for the newly struggling Mountaineers is #21 Cincinnati.
