Cincinnati Takes on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights For Big East Lead

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights invade Nippert Stadium with a 4-0 Big East record.  Cincinnati is 3-1 and would forge a tie, while putting themselves in a great position to earn the conference's automatic BCS bid.

Rutgers and Cincinnati boast the top two Big East rushers.

Cincinnati's George Winn leads the conference with 108.89 yards per game.  Rutgers' Jawan Jamison is second with 105.89 yards per game.

Rutgers has a top-notch defense.  It is in the top 25 in five major defensive categories; scoring defense 5th, total defense 14th, pass defense 25th, pass efficiency defense 17th, and rushing defense 17th.  The Knights have allowed just five touchdowns on the ground and just 14 overall.

Two former Rutgers players are on the roster of Cincinnati's pro teams.

Running back Brian Leonard plays for the Cincinnati Bengals.  Todd Frazier, who just finished third in the National League Rookie of the Year voting, plays for the Cincinnati Reds.
