Week 6 Results in the Big East

#8 Cincinnati (5-0) is idle

The UConn Huskies (3-2) played the Pittsburgh Panthers (5-1) in a well fought match that went down to the final seconds. Unfortunately, Pitt had the ball at that time and a field goal as the clock ran out meant a 24-21 victory for the Panthers.

In another close contest, the Louisville Cardinals (2-3) got a field goal with 30 seconds left to edge Southern Mississippi (3-3) by a score of 25-23.

Pittsburgh (5-1) The Panthers beat Connecticut (3-2) 24-21.

Rutgers (4-1) shut out Texas Southern (1-4) 42-0. This is the fourth year in a row that the Scarlet Knights have posted a shutout. Only Boise State can match that record in the last four years. Freshman De'Antwan Williams carried the ball 19 times for 132 yards—all in the second half--including a 44-yard TD run, thus becoming the fourth RU running back to crack the century mark this season. The RU defense “allowed” minus 25 yards rushing and returned one interception for a TD courtesy of sophomore cornerback David Rowe’s 56-yard romp. Over the previous three games, Rutgers has allowed 45 rushing yards combined. This was the second RU game against a FCS team—Howard was the first--and the BCS allows only one to count toward bowl eligibility. Still, it was the 600th win in school history.

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

It was all Mountaineers in the first half as West Virginia (4-1) out manned Syracuse (2-4) 34-13.
