Undefeated teams in the Big East that is.
Working on the PA home and not really having time to check the news on Friday morning, having a very local radio station on all day, and forgetting the game was on ESPN Thursday night, I some how missed the report of No. 5 Louisville ending No. 3 West Virginia’s winning string at 16.
The teams combined for over 1,000 yards of offense with WVU amassing over 540 yards. But they fumbled away their chances losing by a final score of 44-34. Louisville scored in the air, on the ground and off the foot of place kicker, Art Carmody (three field goals in the first half). They also scored on a fumble recovery and on a punt return. The Cardinal’s QB, Brian Brohm threw for 354 yards and a touchdown.
West Virginia drops to 7-1 and 2-1 in the Big East. The Cardinal improves to 8-0, 3-0.
Now there are just two undefeated teams in the Big East: Louisville and No. 15 Rutgers (8-0, 3-0). And they meet next Thursday night at Rutgers Stadium. (The rankings of both teams are subject to change this Sunday with Louisville likely to move to at least No. 4 and possibly higher. Rutgers is far enough back in the pack it may well remain at No. 15, rise a slot or two or even drop after a lackluster performance against UConn last Sunday night.)
