With the Syracuse Orange travelling to East Hartford to take on an old Big East foe in the Connecticut Huskies we reached out to The UConn Blog to learn more about Jim Mora’s squad.
TNIAAM: Nathan Carter has been over 100 yards rushing in both games this season. What’s made him so successful early in the season?
UB: He’s a strong, sturdy runner, with good vision and great ability to get extra yards by fighting through tackles or changing direction. The offense is also geared around Carter and the running game, it seems, and the offensive line, which has been a weakness for UConn, seems to be improved from previous years, particularly in run blocking.
