Uconn made a nice statement in the middle of SEC country, Steve Spurrier's Gamecock's left humbled by what the coach described as a "sad, sad effort."

Andre Dixon,  the bowl MVP in his last collegiate game, rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown and the Huskies ended a very trying season with a 20-7  exclamation point at the Papajohns.com Bowl in Birmingham, Alabama. The victory was the fourth in a row for the Huskies to close the campaign, their first win over a SEC team and the third bowl win in program history in four tries.

Edsall offered after the game, in light of the Jasper Howard tragedy, "I told them in the locker room that they're never going to be around something like this for the rest of their lives. In all my years of coaching, I have never been around a team like this. It's hard to describe unless you've been through the ride with us."

The Huskies return lots of talent next season and will expect to compete for the Big East title and a BCS birth.
