UConn Defense Surging As Huskies Revive Season

Three dominant performances from the Husky defense has led to a nice winning streak and a surprising bowl bid.

Admit it, you never saw any of this coming.

Not after that Cincinnati game. Not after the way UConn's defense was torched by the Bearcats after South Florida did the same the week before. Definitely not with an offense that had struggled to score more than 20 points in a game.

The 7-3 win over Tulane probably didn't do much for you either.

But in the three games, against East Carolina, Tulane, and Houston, UConn's defense has allowed six, three and ten points, respectively, forcing nine turnovers over that stretch and pushing the Huskies to three much-needed wins.
