The Bulls and Mountaineers face off tonight at Raymond James Stadium in a key conference showdown, so the links begin there:

West Virginia star Noel Devine and South Florida defensive back Quenton Washington are old friends and now rivals, Greg Auman writes in the St. Petersburg Times.

The Mountaineers have been a good second-half team, Mike Casazza writes in the Charleston Daily Mail.

West Virginia's Jarrett Brown played a lot the last time West Virginia went to South Florida, Dave Hickman says in the Charleston Gazette.

Penalties are killing the Bulls, Joey Johnston writes in the Tampa Tribune.

Elsewhere:

Mardy Gilyard is relishing the chance to go up against Mike Williams in the matchup of the Big East's top two receivers, Bill Koch writes in the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Syracuse is easing Ryan Nassib into the quarterback position with a variety of special packages, Dave Rahme says in the Syracuse Post-Standard.

Pitt's offensive line has been its key to success, Ray Fittipaldo says in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Eric LeGrand appears to have found a home at defensive tackle for Rutgers, Tom Luicci writes in The Star-Ledger.
