Rutgers (5-2, 2-1 BIG EAST) seems to have righted its ship after losing back-to-back games to Maryland and Cincinnati and has a chance to knock off the second BCS power in as many weeks when the No. 7 West Virginia Mountaineers (6-1, 1-1) roll into Piscataway. The good news for the Mountaineers is they got some reprieve from their Sept. 28 loss at South Florida when Rutgers beat USF at Piscataway. The bad news for West Virginia is now they must travel to Piscataway. Viewers should be treated to a rushing clinic with Heisman Trophy candidates Ray Rice of Rutgers and West Virginia’s Pat White and Steve Slaton all in the same game. Kickoff is set for 12:10 p.m. ET with television coverage on ABC.
