White Burns Louisville

The Big East has finally whittled its list of likely BCS contenders down to two.

West Virginia quarterback Pat White's 50-yard touchdown run with 1:36 left against Louisville gave the Mountaineers a 38-31 lead and their eighth win. WVU (8-1 overall, 3-1 in the Big East) now trails only Connecticut (8-1, 4-0), who is set to play at Cincinnati (7-2, 2-2) on Saturday.

Last year's Lou Groza award winner, Louisville kicker Art Carmody, tied the game with 3:05 left - but WVU's multifaceted attack struck right back. White exploited a seam in the Cardinal defense for the games' longest touchdown.

James Madison's option offense has often been compared to WVU's attack. The question is, will Madison be able to avoid the costly turnovers that have plagued them two games in a row when it travels to Willam & Mary?
