Big East Recap

League leader Cincy catapulted up 17th in the rankings this weekend after blasting SE Missouri St, who previously had never played college football before. League cellar dweller Rutgers, also beat up on a nobody in Howard. However; Cincy will partake in one of the leagues two marquee match ups next week when they travel to Corvallis to take on Oregon St. RU will continue their pathetic schedule taking on FIU.

Syracuse had another moral victory by covering the 28 pt spread in Happy Valley. They clearly are still a ways off, but making a step in the right direction.
Uconn suffered a disheartening loss at home. Carrying a 10-0 lead into the fourth, the Huskies eventually lost on a last minute safety. It seems that Randy Edsall's squad continues to to sport decent talent and competes with everyone on their schedule, but just cannot get over the proverbial hump.

The biggest win of the week was West Virginia's 15 point victory over ECU gleaning revenge from Skip Holtz's Pirates. WVU still has issues with the kicking game and is committing 9 penalties per game, but Jarrett Brown and the rest of WVU's offense appears to be catching up with their stout defense. West Virginia has the opportunity to secure the leagues marquee victory this Saturday night at Auburn.
