Louisville looks to reverse road woes

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Louisville's defense can't seem to catch a break against West Virginia.



Pat White left a lasting imprint on the Cardinals with four standout games, including last year when he ran for 200 yards and three touchdowns, threw for two more scores and set an NCAA career rushing record by a quarterback in the Mountaineers' 35-21 win.



While White grabbed the headlines, running back Noel Devine quietly did his share of the legwork. His 154 rushing yards on just 13 carries last year wasn't lost on Louisville coach Steve Kragthorpe.



"Gosh dang it, every time that guy touches the ball, something magical is going to happen," Kragthorpe said. "He makes you hold your breath."



Devine needs 46 yards when West Virginia (6-2, 2-1 Big East) meets Louisville (3-5, 0-3) on Saturday to reach 1,000 for the second straight season.



South Florida found a way to slow down Devine last week, plugging up his escape routes and limiting him to a season-low 42 yards in the Bulls' 30-19 win. Devine also failed to score for the first time this season and six of his 17 carries went for no gain or lost yardage.



"You can't have seams where he can stick his foot in the ground and get back north and south and get started again," Kragthorpe said. "They did a nice job of containing him and defending the edge on the defensive front with their linebackers and safetie.
