Johnson on Big East honor roll, UConn-Temple ESPN3

John F. Silver

No surprise for UConn’s Jory Johnson. The senior linebacker made the Big East honor roll after finishing with a team-high 14 tackles this past week in a 24-17 UConn win over Buffalo. Johnson, who led the team in tackles last season with 97, is the third UConn linebacker to have 14 or more tackles in a game this season.

In other notes, UConn-Temple on Oct. 13 will be televised on ESPN3 at Rentschler Field. It’s an ESPN exclusive meaning SNY will not carry the game on Oct. 13. That’s rare that a Big East game for UConn isn’t televised, I can’t remember the last Big East game UConn played in that wasn’t on TV.  ESPN is a good product, but people have set up issues with it. Plenty of tickets available, perhaps getting to the game would be optimal. If I was UConn, I would not be happy, but ESPN has rights to these games.
