Extra Points

The future power of the Big East? How about UConn, which improved
to 9-3 after a 51-17 rout of Wake Forest. The Huskies have won 13
of their last 16 and have a new stadium and a strong recruiting
base. Sounds like the same formula used to make the men's and
women's basketball programs perennial title contenders.... Line
of the week: Georgia Tech senior wideout Jonathan Smith caught a
30-yard touchdown pass, threw a 26-yard TD pass and scored on a
73-yard punt return in Tech's 41-24 win over North Carolina....
Last week we mistakenly reported that Kerri Brooks, daughter of
Kentucky coach Rich Brooks, wrote on an Internet message board
that her father was unhappy in Lexington. She actually wrote that
her father loves Kentucky and is committed to turning around the
program.
