The Big East is in the spotlight tonight with Louisville hosting a surprisingly 5-1 Rutgers and West Virginia traveling to Syracuse. With all of the turmoil surrounding the conference, the champion this year may be the one that can best drown out the distractions. The Mountaineers, also 5-1, will be looking for payback for a stunning home loss to the Orange last year. Previously they had won eight straight in the series and there is no reason to believe that they won't regain the Schwartzwalder Trophy tonight. What is worrisome for the home team is that they allowed USC QB Matt Barkley to throw five TD passes against them last month. How will they stop the explosive West Virginia passing attack?
As for the Rutgers-Louisville contest, points will be at a premium in a match-up of squads being carried by their respective stop units. With West Virginia up next for Rutgers, they had better get their work done versus a rebuilding Cardinal squad.
