EAST HARTFORD, Connecticut (Ticker) -- Andre Dixon andConnecticut proved once again that there may be a new top dog inthe Big East Conference.


Dixon rushed for 167 yards and the unranked Huskies forced apair of crucial turnovers en route to a 22-15 upset of No. 11South Florida on Saturday.


It was the second straight thrilling chapter in what could turnout to be a storybook season for Connecticut (7-1, 3-0 BigEast), which remained atop the conference standings.

The Huskies, who went just 1-6 in conference play last year,defeated Louisville here last week in a contest marred by aquestionable touchdown on a punt return.


Eight days later, UConn won in another nail-biter, as SouthFlorida nearly rallied from a 16-0 halftime deficit.

But the Huskies held on thanks largely in part to Dixon, whocarried the ball 32 times. UConn quarterback Tyler Lorenzenalso delivered an efficient performance, completing 13-of-25passes for 194 yards and a touchdown.


Already owning a 9-0 lead, UConn built a 16-point advantage with8:25 left in the first half when linebacker Scott Lutrusintercepted Matt Grothe and reeled off a 23-yard return for aTD.


The Bulls (6-2, 1-2) roared back in the second half, however, asGrothe raced for a 10-yard TD in the third quarter and DelbertAlvarado drilled a pair of fourth-quarter field goals to cut thedeficit to 19-15.


But after Tony Ciaravino made it 22-15 with a 20-yard fieldgoal, UConn made a goal-line stand on defense with just undertwo minutes remaining to preserve the victory.
