Late TD lifts WVU to victory

Pat White scored on a 50-yard run with 1:36 remaining to lift No. 6 West Virginia to a 38-31 victory over Louisville on Thursday night in Morgantown, W.Va.

Brian Brohm brought Louisville from 17 points down in the second half, with the Cardinals tying it on Art Carmody’s 37-yard field goal with 3:05 left. White, who had three TD passes, then capped a 65-yard drive with his scoring run up the left sideline.

Brohm, who broke his Big East record with his seventh 300-yard game of the season, threw a desperation pass that Antonio Lewis intercepted at the West Virginia 7.

The win allowed West Virginia (8-1, 3-1 Big East) to remain on Connecticut’s heels for a berth in the Bowl Championship Series with three games left, including a key matchup next week at Cincinnati.

Louisville (5-5, 2-3 Big East) was eliminated from the conference title chase.

BYU 27, TCU 22: At Provo, Utah, Max Hall passed for 305 yards and a touchdown and Brigham Young’s defense came up with two sacks in an 11-second span to seal a victory over the Horned Frogs (5-5, 3-3).

The Cougars (7-2, 5-0) won their 13th straight Mountain West Conference game and remained on pace for a second straight unbeaten run through the league with a final defensive stand.
