Pike putting on a show

IRemember these guys? Mardy Gilyard has a kickoff return for a TD, and then Tony Pike, making his first start since he re-broke his left forearm, has completed five TD passes. The Bearcats are up on Illinos 42-20 with 20 minutes left in the game. The win will elevate Cincy to 11-0, and if Pitt (remember those guys?) defeats West Virginia this weekend, then the Panthers and Bearcats will play for the Big-East title, and a BCS game.

For all the complaining about the east coast bias / unawareness of the teams from the west, I still don't think a lot of west coast fans yet understand just how good a couple of the Beavers' recent non-conference opponents are. Ones I might add behaved with tremendous class when interacting with OSU.
