Big East Update

You have to feel for stud back Ray Graham of Pitt, who was lost for the season last night with a 1st half knee injury. Graham became the latest star running back to be injured this year as it seems the over protection of QBs may well be bad luck for their backfield mates.

Either way. Pittsburgh's chances to remain in the Big East race were greatly compromised. Defending champion UConn looks like toast and South Florida, a preseason favorite, is sitting at 0-3, but everyone else has a shot. There is a key game in Jersey Saturday between a suddenly-reeling West Virginia squad and a team that they usually dominate in Rutgers, who can both do some of the things that Syracuse did defensively to the Mountaineers and will be inspired by just entering the stadium. That is because recovering teammate Eric LeGrand, who suffered his spinal injury last October, will lead them onto the field. The Scarlet Knights will be inspired.
