Mountaineers, UConn under Friday night lights
(Sports Network) - The fourth-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers hope to remain undefeated on Friday night as they take on the Connecticut Huskies in a Big East Conference clash. West Virginia has won all six of its games thus far by double digits, as the narrowest margin of victory to date has been 17 points. The Mountaineers are coming off last weekend's 41-17 thrashing of Syracuse, and while they clearly have a legitimate chance of finishing the regular season with a perfect record, there are some tough games remaining on the schedule. After Saturday's tilt, West Virginia will face fellow undefeated Big East power Louisville, and games against Pittsburgh, South Florida and Rutgers remain as well. If the Mountaineers do run the table, it will be difficult to deny them a shot at the National Championship. UConn has split its six games with the squad fresh off last weekend's 21-7 triumph over Army. Ironically, the squad has now surrendered exactly seven points in all three of its victories. With the likes of Rutgers, Pittsburgh and Louisville still remaining on the schedule after this weekend's clash, the Huskies will have to score at least one upset to reach a postseason bowl. West Virginia and UConn have played the only two games in their series in the last two seasons, and both have resulted in victories by the Mountaineers.It is no secret that West Virginia's offense depends heavily on the run, and the team was at its best against Syracuse last weekend. Quarterback Pat White put forth the best rushing game ever for a Big East quarterback as he racked up 247 yards on the ground en route to four touchdowns. As for standout tailback Steve Slaton, he pitched in 163 yards and a score. With 457 yards on the ground and another 105 through the air, West Virginia basically had its way with the Orange. Four of the Mountaineers' touchdowns covered over 30 yards in distance, proof of their explosiveness. Thanks to the stellar effort against Syracuse, West Virginia is now the nation's top rushing team, accounting for 328.3 ypg on the ground. The club is also third in scoring offense, racking up 41.5 ppg. Slaton has been tremendous, as he has already rushed for 931 yards and eight touchdowns while averaging 7.1 ypc. As for White, his average of 8.9 ypc is staggering, and he has posted 517 yards on the ground in addition to his eight rushing scores. When White has been called on to pass, he has completed 69.6 percent of his throws for 666 yards with five touchdowns. Darius Reynaud and Brandon Myles, although somewhat underutilized, are talented playmakers on the outside.
The West Virginia defense got off to a shaky start last weekend, as Syracuse got the ball first and marched 80 yards on 11 plays to take a 7-0 lead. Fortunately, the Mountaineers settled down in a hurry, surrendering only 10 more points in the contest. They yielded just 81 yards on 35 Orange rushing attempts and permitted Syracuse to complete a mere 9-of-22 passes for 146 yards. The West Virginia defense spent more than 34 minutes on the field, and the fact that the unit yielded only 227 total yards during that span is impressive. Opponents are only scoring 13.0 ppg against the Mountaineers, who own the 10th best scoring defense in all of college football. Stopping the run has clearly been an area of strength, as foes are managing just 88.3 ypg and 2.9 ypc on the ground. Also, West Virginia has held opposing quarterbacks below a 50 percent completion rating, proof that the defense does not have a weakness against either form of attack. Eric Wicks leads the Mountaineers with 35 total tackles, adding a pair of interceptions and two sacks to his credit.
UConn is averaging 22.2 ppg this season while racking up 357.3 total ypg. Like the Mountaineers, the Huskies depend heavily on their ground attack to move the ball and score points, as they are posting 209.2 ypg on the ground while averaging a strong 5.1 ypc. Terry Caulley has been the best of the backs for UConn, as he has managed 588 rushing yards on 99 carries through six outings. Lou Allen, who has 222 yards to his credit, leads the team with four scores. As for the quarterback position, Matt Bonislawski and D.J. Hernandez have both seen significant time, but neither has been particularly impressive. None of the wide receivers have reached the 20-catch plateau, and that fact may be a result of shaky quarterback play or a lack of big-time talent at the position. Against Army last weekend Caulley broke loose for a 98-yard touchdown run, the second-longest in school history. He posted his 13th career 100-yard rushing performance, breaking a program record that stood since 1970. While UConn had three touchdowns in the tilt, one came on special teams, so the offense did struggle a bit. Bonislawski added a one-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter, and he completed fewer than 50 percent of his passes under center.
It is hard to get an accurate read on the UConn defense because it has been wildly inconsistent. As mentioned, the Huskies have only yielded seven points in each of their three wins, but the club has surrendered 24, 41 and 38 points in the three defeats. Opponents are scoring 20.7 ppg and gaining 318.2 total ypg against the Huskies, who have allowed 4.4 rushing ypc and 10 touchdowns on the ground. Clearly, White and Slaton will give the defense plenty of opportunities to prove itself this weekend. UConn limited Army to 97 rushing yards on 32 attempts last weekend, and the Huskies were even more impressive against the pass, registering three interceptions that proved to be key to victory. Danny Lansanah and Ryan Henegan led the way in the win with 13 total tackles apiece, and Henegan finished with 2.5 TFLs.
There is no question that UConn will play hard, especially in front of the home crowd. West Virginia, however, is the superior team in this matchup, and the running game will once again be the difference for the mighty Mountaineers.
