Some news from the Big East:
– We’ll have to wait for the TV coverage information for UConn’s Nov. 7 game at Cincinnati. ABC/ESPN is holding it for a “six-day selection.” We’ll get the official word after this week’s games.
It will either be seen on ABC (Ch. 8), ESPN or ESPN2.
The start time is also not set, though it’s going to be either a 3:30 p.m. kick or an evening one. It won’t be a noon game.
Also on that day Syracuse-Pitt will start at noon and be seen on ESPNU; Louisville at West Virginia is also at noon and is the Big East game of the week.
– Rutgers coach Greg Schiano on wide receiver Mark Harrison, a 6-foot-3 freshman from Bunnell:
“He’s really doing well,” Schiano said. “He came in and he had a little injury that I think slowed him down quite a bit. But he’s feeling better now and getting more involved in the offense and learning more every day.”
Harrison caught two passes for 48 yards last week against Army, the first receptions of his career.
– West Virginia’s Bill Stewart with a few more poignant words on his team’s game against UConn.
“It was shame there had to be a loser. That was one for the ages,” Stewart said.
– Cincinnati fell three spots to 8th in the latest BCS rankings but coach Brian Kelly isn’t overly concerned.
“There’s a lot of football left and this thing is pretty fun. Nobody has a clear ride or a clear path,” Kelly said. “Just look what happened on Saturday. A couple of seconds here or there and Iowa’s gone and Alabama’s down. It’s pretty exciting stuff.”
