No.25 West Virginia Mountaineers are 3rd place on the Big East Conference and they look pretty strong, solid when it comes to play at home but their weakness is on the road. They lost to Auburn and to South Florida away from home and this could be a sign of what’s going to happen. The Mountaineers real first test on the road is this week against a Nationally ranked team, conference rival and overall a perfect team at home. QB Jarrett Brown will have to raise above it, he will be greatly needed and his experience could be very valuable. Helping the team the Mountainees will have RB Noel Devine (questionable), WR Jock Sanders and WR Alric Arnett. These guys are ready to show some heart far from home but it will be more than that for them to be able to accomplish this great task, they will need to control cincinnati’s running and passing game, and they need to score as often as possible, every wasted chance means a score against them.

Cincinnati Bearcats are having such a great season that is hard to believe they are only No.5 on the BCS list. They have pretty much killed every rival either at home or on the road. When they lost QB Tony Pike with a injured wrist and forearm that needed surgery they brought QB Zach Collaros that just threw for 480 yards, now in my book that is just amazing. They will balance the offense according to the coach, the status of Pike is still uncertain but Collaros can handle it, he just showed us that he is capable enough to throw and run like noone, even scoring 2 tds himself. The Bearcats also count with RB Isaiah Pead and RB Jacob Ramsey combined for 10 tds by grown, by air the Bearcats will count with WR Mardy Gilyard and WR Armon Binns combined for 15 tds total. These four guys will be holding the key for the victor, it will be very hard for West Virginia to defeat them, too hard if you ask me. The Coach Brian Kelly has anointed Tony Pike the starter but that doesn’t mean that he can go out and give the chance to Collaros if he’s needed, the team has so many alternatives that will be hard to lose against West Virginia.
