What have we learned after watching UConn take down East Carolina at home?
1. UConn's defense can dominate someone (who is decent).
After getting destroyed by Cincinnati last week, a game in which the Huskies gave up a season-high 37 points, and giving up a lot of big plays in the loss to USF the week before, many were unsure if the defense was actually as strong as previously believed. Those concerns were quieted rather conclusively as UConn completely shut down the ECU offense, keeping it off the scoreboard until the fourth quarter. The Huskies intercepted the two Pirates' quarterbacks four times, and 5 out of 13 ECU drives were held under 20 yards.
