Week 6 for The Big East Coming Up

This week’s Big East Schedule is another abbreviated one. Both #8 Cincinnati (5-0) and #23 South Florida (5-0) are idle. Two games match conference teams against each other and will go a long way toward setting up the Big East standings.

#8 Cincinnati (5-0) is idle

Connecticut (3-1) The Huskies will play at Pittsburgh (4-1). Pitt should win easily.

Louisville (1-3) The Cardinals host Southern Mississippi (3-2). This will make or break the Cardinals' season. It's all ready a long one for the Louisville squad but another loss here and it will become a real gut check.

Pittsburgh (4-1) The Panthers host Connecticut (3-1). As I said above, Pitt by at least 14.

Rutgers (3-1) hosts Texas Southern (1-3). The Knights play another FCS team (Howard was the other) and it will serve as a learning session for freshman QB Tom Savage who should be ready to go after suffering a head injury at Maryland.

#23 South Florida (5-0) is idle.

Syracuse (2-3) The Orange will host West Virginia (3-1). Does Syracuse have the defense to hold the Mountaineers in check? No. Do they have the offense to outscore them? No. The question is how big the margin will be.

West Virginia (3-1) The Mountaineers play at Syracuse (2-3). As long as they play like they did this week, they should score whenever they want.
