Sports | NCAA football UConn Rushes Through Sagging Louisville Huskies break out late for come-from-behind 21-17 victory By Katherine Thompson Posted Oct 20, 2007 5:29 AM CDT Copied Connecticut quarterback Tyler Lorenzen reacts after UConn defeated Louisville, 21-17, in a big East Conference football game in East Hartford, Conn., Friday, Oct. 19, 2007. (AP Photo/Bob Child) (Associated Press) The UConn Huskies broke through the lagging Louisville defense late in last night's game to beat their Big East rivals, 21-17. UConn's Andre Dixon rushed for 115 yards on 22 carries to mark the third time in four games Louisville has lost after failing to keep a running back from breaking the 100-yard mark, reports the Hartford Courant. The Cardinals scored twice early in the fourth quarter to boost their lead to 17-7, but Tyler Lorenzen led his Huskies offense on two touchdown drives through Louisiana's 100th-ranked defense. It was a cold and rainy night out on the field, said Cardinal Earl Heyman, adding that "Sometimes the bird eats you, and sometimes you eat the bird."
