It was a critical point in their game against the East Carolina Pirates. The UConn Huskies football team found themselves pinned deep in their zone after Nick Vitale muffed a point two times and Josh Marriner recovered it on their 10 yard line.

After the game, Newsome along with his quarterback Bryant Shirreffs talked about the run.
