Dungey scores 3 times, Syracuse beats UConn 51-21

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Eric Dungey scored three touchdowns and threw for another to key a first-half blitz and Syracuse continued its early season success with a 51-21 victory over former Big East rival Connecticut on Saturday. Syracuse, which has not yet trailed this season, has won its first four games for the first time since 1991 and only the fourth time since the end of World War II. Connecticut (1-3) entered the game ranked last in points allowed per game (55.7) and yards allowed per game (673.3). UConn's defensive depth chart for Saturday listed nine freshmen and two redshirt freshmen on the two-deep, and that inexperience proved costly again. The Orange, who entered the game averaging 49 points, scored rapidly on their first three possessions and stormed to a 21-0 lead.
