LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -West Virginia kept its hopes for a Big East title alive with a rugged 17-10 win over Louisville on Saturday.
Noel Devine ran for 58 yards and a touchdown and West Virginia's defense hounded the Cardinals all afternoon as the Mountaineers (7-3, 3-2 Big East) set up a showdown with rival Pittsburgh on Friday.
Louisville (5-6, 2-4) was hoping to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2007 but could muster little offense. The Cardinals managed just 171 total yards, never got into a rhythm and committed a handful of critical penalties.
West Virginia wasn't much better, but the Mountaineers made enough plays to remain in the thick of the Big East race. Cornerback Keith Tandy's interception with 2:22 remaining snuffed out Louisville's last-gasp drive as West Virginia won a conference road game for the first time this season.
