Who cares, right? Anyways, with Dion Lewis out with a shoulder injury, fellow sophomore Ray Graham rushed for 277 and three touchdowns as Pitt knocked off winless Florida International 44-17.
Sadly, the biggest Big East win this week was UConn's 40-21 victory at home over the Vanderbilt Commodores. In his first start, junior Cody Endres threw for 196 and two touchdowns and fellow junior Jordan Todman successfully returned from injury to rush for 190 yards and two scores.

BUT, I can guarantee you that the calculations will be correct.
So, here is the one table that I did manage to save: no comments

If you could pick 13 SEC and college games per week ... and after week three ... the only games that you have missed are both Ole Miss losses ... how mad would you actually be?
I am not entirely sure, but just ask MoonDogSports.com ... those are his only losses on the season. no comments
