EAST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Connecticut still can't beat West Virginia. Can anyone else topple the Mountaineers from their Big East perch?

Pat White ran for a late touchdown for the coronation as West Virginia continued its dominance over UConn. The Huskies did just as much to beat themselves, turning the ball over five times, including four in the second half.

After a strong first half, Cody Endres threw three interceptions in the second. His receivers didn't help much with a lot of drops. But this team is not built to air it out over long stretches. Donald Brown was neutralized for the first time all season and virtually disappeared after his third-quarter fumble.

West Virginia improves to 3-0 in the Big East and is in great shape for its fourth crown in five years. UConn falls to 2-2 and needs an awful lot of help to get back in the race.

More to come after my postgame interviews ...
