SCSU, UConn and Orlovsky
Defense went South
Well, CCSU proved it didn't need Justice Hairston anymore.
The former Central standout graduated but the Blue Devils hammered their intra-state rivals 56-34 last Saturday.
It was speed and more speed that doomed the Owls but it was only evident on offense.
In fact, SCSU moved the ball exceptionally well again last week, putting up 34 points without star running back Brandon Toles.
Toles could be iffy for Saturday's game at AIC, but the Owls should cruise there. The Yellow Jackets will be playing without its starting QB, who broke his leg in the team's first game.
If Southern can't stop AIC this week, it will be more a question of talent than speed.
UConn's Con job?
UConn survived last week against Temple. It is still hard to tell whether Temple receiver Adam DiMichele had possession of the ball in the waning seconds of the Huskies' narrow win.
Even video replays are hard to judge if the Temple player had control before he stepped out of bounds.
UConn shouldn't have to rely on such decisions to beat Temple.
The result doesn't fare well for the rest of the season, although there are still some easy marks on the slate.
But Temple was supposed to be one of the easiest.
The deciding play started when quarterback Adam DiMichele pitched to Jason Harper while the running back was sprinting to his right. Harper then handed the ball off to receiver Dy'Onne Crudup on a reverse. Crudup stopped his run to the left and heaved the ball back in DiMichele's direction.
Crudup is from Hyde.

Orlo a no-show
Former UConn star and Shelton native Dan Orlovsky missed a golden opportunity to showcase his skills last week. With Detroit Lions starting quarterback John Kitna sidelined with a concussion, the Lions turned to someone named JT O'Sullivan to guide the offense.
O'Sullivan moved the ball several times but also turned it over four times. Detroit put Kitna back into the game and the veteran QB won the game in overtime.
Orlovsky missed the game with a turf toe injury.
