The Husky Football team dropped another game against Pitt 35-20 on the 26th. Pitt QB Tino Sunersi threw for 419 yards (Career High) and 2 TD's to lead his team against the Huskies. On a brighter note Lyle McCombs rushed for 124 yards on 25 carries.
The Huskies have not been playing very good football as of late, dropping a few games in a row. Although, they had some pretty productive performances from some of their skill players. Kashif Moore added a TD for 106 yards on six catches.
Hopefully they will be able to turn it around this week against Syracuse at home

Not a Good Way To Open the BIG EAST
The Huskies dropped their Big East opener to West Virginia in Morgantown this weekend 43-16. I was home for the weekend and was able to catch some of the end of the 1st half when it was actually a ball game. You could tell that the Huskies were outmatched but they played some good football in the 1st half, kicking a field goal to bring it within one point heading into the locker room. Everything fell apart in the second half, when the Mountaineers piled the points on.
On a positive note...
UConn basketball stars Alex Oriakhi and Jeremy Lamb were voted to the John R. Wooden top 50 in the nation, they were 2 of the 10 players selected in the Big East conference. UNC set a record with 4 players nominated this year out of the ACC conference. Hopefully these young players live up to the hype this year.
