Dave Teggart's perfect day earned him Big East honors.

In his first collegiate game, Teggart kicked 4 field goals (26, 47, 32, 22) and made all 4 of his PAT’s.  The 47 yard field goal was impressive in that he kicked it into a driving wind and had room to spare.

Teggart took over for Tony Ciaravino who had struggled the week before in a loss against Rutgers when he missed 3 field goals including the potential game-winner.

Huskies running back Donald Brown was also named to the Big East Weekly Honor Roll.

Brown had 27 carries for 150 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also caught 4 balls for 58 yards.
