 Big East Conference on friday
No. 18 South Florida won its second game of the season against a ranked opponent, jumping out early and holding on for a 21-13 victory over No. 5 West Virginia. South Florida took a 14-3 lead at the half, held the powerful Mountaineers offense to 196 yards - 71 on the ground - and knocked out star quarterback Pat White. Matt Grothe completed 11-of-20 passes for 136 yards and a touchdown, connecting with Carlton Mitchell for a 55-yard score in the second quarter to put the Bulls on top 14-0. The two teams combined for 10 turnovers in the game, with West Virginia (4-1, 0-1 Big East) giving the ball back six times. Mountaineers junior quarterback White had a rough first half, throwing an interception to South Florida (4-0, 1-0) linebacker Ben Moffit, who rumbled 26 yards to score the game’s first touchdown. White was injured at the end of the first half and did not return. The Bulls extended their lead to 21-3 in the third quarter, when Jamar Taylor completed the first drive of the second half with a 19-yard run. White’s replacement, Jarrett Brown, completed 11-of-20 passes for 148 yards and rushed for 69 yards but threw two interceptions. He was picked off at the South Florida nine-yard-line and again in the fourth quarter while driving for a score. The turnovers effectively killed any chance the Mountaineers had of getting back into the game. South Florida sacked Brown twice on West Virginia’s final drive of the game and forced a pair of incompletions with less than a minute remaining to clinch the win. The Mountaineers outgained the Bulls by 183 yards, but their Heisman Trophy hopeful, running back Steve Slaton, carried the ball 13 times for just 52 yards and fumbled twice. —————————————————————————– The nfl decided to change their ranking criteria of teams subsequent to coming super bowl championship.

Mississippi St.-South Carolina Preview
Steve Spurrier has a history of losing patience with quarterbacks, so his most recent switch is hardly surprising. It’s unlikely he was ever planning a change at middle linebacker, however. South Carolina, which must make do without Jasper Brinkley on defense for the rest of the season, is set to go with freshman Chris Smelley at quarterback when it faces SEC rival Mississippi State on Saturday. Spurrier has had a quick hook with quarterbacks through his coaching career at Florida and his time in the NFL with the Washington Redskins, and it’s been no different with the 16th-ranked Gamecocks (3-1, 1-1). Blake Mitchell is being benched early in the season for the second straight year by Spurrier, who will turn to Smelley after South Carolina’s first loss, 28-16 to No. 2 LSU last Saturday. ————————————————————————- The san diego chargers; who has won three national titles, is now focus on coming national football championship.
