PITTSBURGH (AP)--LeSean McCoy scored his second touchdown with 52 seconds left to finish off a 183-yard performance, and Pittsburgh beat rival West Virginia 19-15 on Friday to make Cincinnati the Big East champions.
McCoy carried all but one play on the 59-yard, game-winning touchdown drive in the closing minutes, scoring from the 1.
Pitt (8-3, 4-2 in Big East) had to rally from a 15-7 deficit after Bill Stull threw two interceptions and a pair of drives inside the West Virginia 10 ended with no points.
Pat White scored on a 54-yard touchdown run, but West Virginia (7-4, 4-2) lost for the second year in a row in the Backyard Brawl.
