Cincinnati looked poised to take the Big East and run away with it, perhaps putting together a respectable one-loss season before heading to the BCS as the league’s AQ team. You knew it wouldn’t be that easy, right?
West Virginia Vs. Cincinnati Halftime: Mountaineers Build Lead As Collaros Goes Down
After an early touchdown by the Bearcats, the Mountaineers have raced out to a 17-7 halftime lead, putting them on the verge of an upset that would make the race for the Big East that much more complicated. After a first-quarter touchdown, West Virginia scored on a 28-yard field goal and a Julian Miller fumble return to build the 10-point lead.
That fumble could end up costing the Bearcats more than the game; quarterback Zach Collaros was carted off the field afterward, a loss that could prove significant to Cincinnati over the season's last few weeks. His backup, Munchie Legaux, is 1-of-5 for minus-1 yard passing, though he has also has 13 yards on a pair of rushes.
