SOUTH BEND, Ind. — After a string of stinging losses, Connecticut finally won one for its slain teammate.
Coach Randy Edsall called the Huskies’ 33-30 double-overtime victory Saturday against Notre Dame the program’s “best win.” On the other side, Charlie Weis was left to try to explain another jarring loss on senior day and wonder if it will be his last game at Notre Dame Stadium as Fighting Irish coach. Andre Dixon scored on a 4-yard run in the second overtime to give the Huskies their first victory since cornerback Jasper Howard was stabbed to death last month.
The loss was the third straight for Notre Dame (6-5) and will add to the mounting calls for Weis to be fired.
“Today’s not the day for me to reflect on things like that. I mean today’s the day for me to be worrying about those guys, those 33 guys,” he said, referring to seniors on the roster. ” I’ll worry about me tomorrow.”
