GAME OF THE WEEK

Connecticut 33 … at Notre Dame 30 2OT
In the second overtime, Connecticut answered a Notre Dame field goal with a four-yard Andre Dixon run for the thrilling win. The Huskies and Irish traded touchdown passes in the first overtime, with Kashif Moore catching an 11-yard scoring pass to give UConn the lead, only to have Michael Floyd answer with a leaping four-yard grab. The Huskies could’ve avoided overtime, but Dave Teggart, who hit a 29-yard field goal with 1:10 to play to tie the score at 20, missed a 37-yarder with no time left on the clock. The Irish took an early 14-0 lead on a eight-yard Golden Tate catch and a one-yard Jimmy Clausen run, but UConn was able to run the ball all game long without a problem and got a 96-yard kickoff return for a score in the third quarter.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Army QB Trent Steelman completed 7-of-15 passes for 87 yards and ran 23 times for 132 yards and a score in the win over North Texas.

CONFERENCE ROUNDUP

Army … Army 17 ... at North Texas 13 ... It might not have been pretty, Army was the only team to not have a field day against the horrendous North Texas defense, but Trent Steelman came through in the clutch to keep bowl hopes alive. No matter what happens against Navy, this can now be considered a strong first season under Rich Ellerson with five wins and a good stepping stone for the future. There wasn’t a win over a team that’s any good, but that can change if the running game can somehow keep up with the Midshipmen. It’s going to take a minor miracle to get the win, and it’s going to take five takeaways like the D got against UNT.

Navy … Didn’t Play This Week

Notre Dame … Connecticut 33 ... at Notre Dame 30 2OT ... Whether or not this is it for the Charlie Weis era, the team fought hard and it kept up the intensity all game long. Jimmy Clausen got the passing game going, but the offense continues to have problems putting the ball in the end zone. The big problem continues to be the run defense that gets gouged way too easily. That’s a big problem with Stanford and Toby Gerhart up next, and considering the run D isn’t going to be better in one week, Clausen, in what might be his final regular season game for the Irish, must make it a shootout, and the Irish have to get into the end zone. There haven’t been enough points for all the yards the offense is cranking out.
