>>When UConn plays at East Carolina on Saturday (7 p.m., CBS Sports Network), junior offensive tackle Matt Peart is slated to make his 35th consecutive start, which is something only nine Huskies have accomplished since UConn became a full-fledged Football Bowl Subdivision member in 2002.<<
>>Dating back to 1978, UConn had never posted four straight games with at least 250 rushing yards until accomplishing the feat in the last four contests. The 1,192 rushing yards against South Florida, UMass, Tulsa and SMU marks the sixth time in the last 40 years that UConn has rushed for at least 1,000 yards in a span of four games, and topped the previous best four-game total set against Hofstra, Temple, Virginia and Baylor in 2008. The total is also more than the Huskies managed in 12 games in both the 2012 and ’13 campaigns.<<
