Sate of the Big East

Each week we would like to provide a Big East recap. We'll try to update it earlier than this (like maybe before the next weekend begins?).

Thank god that Cincy beat Rutgers . . . not because I wanted them to, but I proclaimed for weeks that Rutgers was overrated and would lose. I would not have been able to show my face at any BE tailgate if Rutgers won. Simply put, Cincy looked great and Rutgers looked awful; Savage looked promising, but seriously, a freshman QB with a pornstar name? Not a good combo.

WVU, UCONN, PITT, and USF all played either MAC or IAA teams so we cannot glean much from that crew. RE: WVU vs ECU, UCONN vs UNC to see much more about these two teams, but we will need to wait a bit longer on the other two.

Syracuse looked significantly improved even in a home loss to a mediocre Minnesota team. Showing signs of life when you previously looked like Strom Thurmond isn't excatly hard though. Keep it to two TDs against PSU this weekend, and I will be thourghly impresssed.

Louisville . . . sucks.
