CINCINNATI -- Pat White ran Cincinnati right out of the Big East race.
West Virginia's dashing, dual-threat quarterback ran for two second-quarter touchdowns last night to lead the fifth-ranked Mountaineers to a 28-23 victory that left only two teams in the conference title chase.
The Mountaineers (9-1, 4-1) can win their second Big East championship in three years by closing with victories over No. 25 Connecticut and Pittsburgh. Their game against UConn (9-2, 5-1) in Morgantown, W.Va., on Saturday likely will decide it.
For most of the season, No. 21 Cincinnati (8-3, 3-3) was one of the conference's biggest surprises, staying in contention with a hard-hitting defense that leads the country in forcing turnovers. The Bearcats couldn't do much except admire White's handiwork.
