It's not exactly salted away yet, but West Virginia has a 17-6 lead going into the fourth quarter over Louisville.

The Mountaineers' offense found some life despite playing without Noel Devine, who's sidelined with an ankle injury. West Virginia's defense has played great against a Louisville offense that's pretty limited, starting a walk-on quarterback and a third-string, freshman running back.

So even though it's only an 11-point lead, it feels like a lot more.
