UConn stuns Notre Dame in double overtime, 33-30
Huskies running back Andre Dixon scored a four-yard touchdown in double overtime to hand Notre Dame their second straight defeat. I think Charlie Weiss has already fled the country.
The Huskies (5-5) had lost three straight painfully close games since Howard was killed. This time they made the plays at the end to win in dramatic fashion.
Jordan Todman ran for 130 yards on 26 carries, including a 43-yard TD run for UConn. He also added a 96-yard kickoff return for a TD. Dixon rushed for 114 yards on 20 carries.
Notre Dame was upset last season by Syracuse in its final home game of the season.
Jimmy Clausen was 30 of 45 passing for 329 yards for Notre Dame. Golden Tate had nine catches for 123 yards and Michael Floyd had eight catches for 104 yards.
This victory is especially meaningful for the Huskies considering their teammate Jasper Howard was slain last month.

Go Huskies!!
Not a big fan of ND, but it was an exciting game for sure!
I think UConn is making a name for themselves….
I was impressed with UConn and appreciate the ND respect provided Howard, but Weis has got to go….
I always knew Notre Dame was a bad football team.
anytime the gladiators of the tarnished dome loses I even feel like a winner … go Huskies!
