    <h3>Connecticut, West Virginia to battle for Big East title</h3>

    No. 20 Connecticut (9-2) at No. 4 West Virginia (9-1) 3:30 pm EST

    MORGANTOWN, West Virginia (Ticker) -- Even Connecticut coachRandy Edsall admits that few fans could have seen this coming.

    On Saturday, the 20th-ranked Huskies visit No. 4 West Virginiain a showdown that will decide the Big East Conference title.

    "Who would have ever thought that after 11 games, being 9-2,that this team would be playing for the right for the Big Eastchampionship," Edsall said. "Probably nobody in America everthought that, expect for the guys in that locker room."

    Known more for their basketball prowess, the Huskies (9-2, 5-1Big East) are in only their sixth season on the FootballChampionship Subdivision level (formerly Division I-A) andstruggled to a 4-8 finish last year.


    But Tyler Lorenzen, a junior college transfer, has ledConnecticut's charge, passing for 2,118 yards this year -fifth-best in the Big East.


    The Huskies set up the showdown with last week's 30-7 win overSyracuse but will be facing their toughest test of the seasonagainst West Virginia (9-2, 4-1 Big East) in a hostileenvironment.


    Their challenge will be trying to slow down the Mountaineers'talented tandem of running back Steve Slaton and quarterbackPat White - something few teams have been able to accomplish.

    Slaton leads the team in rushing with 988 yards and 15touchdowns, while White is right behind with 958 yards and 12scores.


    White ran for 155 yards and two touchdowns in last week's 28-23victory at Cincinnati.


    While the Mountaineers are seeking their second Big East titlein three years, they have climbed back into the nationalchampionship picture as they rank third in the latest BowlChampionship Series standings.


    Connecticut is 0-3 against West Virginia since joining the BigEast in 2004, including a 37-11 loss last season.
