WVU travels to take on Syracuse today
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The setting, from a Big East point of view, could not be better unless they could find a way to play a football game in Madison Square Garden.
If any arena in the conference symbolizes what the Big East is all about, it is the Carrier Dome, where at noon today Syracuse and West Virginia University will play a football game that has basketball overtones, much to the chagrin of a Big East football conference that is trying to creep out of the all-encompassing shadow the 16-team basketball conglomerate casts.
The two quarterbacks, Jarrett Brown with the 3-1 Mountaineers and Greg Paulus of the upstart 2-3 Orange, are former collegiate point guards, Paulus of greater note from the basketball court for he played his basketball as a starter at Duke while Brown was more or less just chillin’ between football seasons for Bob Huggins’ basketball team.
