LOUISVILLE, Ky. — West Virginia quarterback Pat White broke the NCAA record for career yards rushing by a quarterback Saturday in leading the Mountaineers to a 35-21 victory over Louisville.

White, a senior, ran for 200 yards and three touchdowns to give him 4,292 career yards, breaking the record of 4,289 set by former Missouri quarterback Brad Smith from 2002 to 2005.

Although many of White's yards have been spectacular, the run that broke the record was not exactly highlight worthy. Leading by 14 late in the fourth quarter, White took the snap and ran to his left, getting the 4 yards necessary to set the mark before uncharacteristically sliding to safety.

Not that White is concerned with style points.

"When I'm done, I'll sit down and think about it, reflect on it," White said. "Right now I'm just thinking about the next two" games.

West Virginia (7-3, 4-1 Big East) plays at Pitt on Friday and at home against South Florida on Dec. 6 and is hoping to win a second consecutive Big East crown.

White added two passing touchdowns to bring his career total for touchdowns accounted for to 98, eclipsing the Big East record of 96 held by former Syracuse quarterback Donovan McNabb.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Cameron Dantley, son of Adrian Dantley, a former NBA star and one of Notre Dame's basketball greats, threw an 11-yard TD pass to Donte Davis with 42 seconds left to lead Syracuse to a 24-23 victory Saturday against the stunned and disheartened Fighting Irish.

Items of note from the game:

● The Orange rallied from a 23-10 deficit in the fourth quarter.

● The Irish came away with just six points after starting four times inside the Syracuse 23-yard line.

● The victory allowed Syracuse (3-8) to avoid a third 10-loss season in four years under coach Greg Robinson, who was fired last week, effective the end of the season.

● For the Irish (6-5), losing to a 19 1/2-point underdog ranks among the worst losses in school history and leaves coach Charlie Weis with a 28-20 record in four seasons. Weis' .583 winning percentage is the same as that of Bob Davie when he was fired after five seasons and Tyrone Willingham after three. Weis has seven years left after this season on a 10-year contract.

● Notre Dame Stadium, long known as a tough place to play for visitors, became treacherous for the home team as fans sitting in the student section pelted Irish players with snowballs. The game was played a day after South Bend got hit with about 10 inches of snow.

● After outscoring The Citadel 21-0 in the first quarter of a 70-19 rout, Florida has outscored its last seven opponents 122-0 in the first quarter.

● Michigan (3-9, 2-6 Big Ten) lost the most games in school history, missed a bowl trip for the first time in 34 years and had the first losing season since the Johnson Administration (Lyndon, not Andrew).

● Gino Gordon ran for 177 yards and a touchdown to lead Harvard to a 10-0 victory over Yale and a share of the Ivy League championship with Brown.

● Safety Eric Berry had his seventh interception of the season and returned it for a touchdown to help Tennessee beat Vanderbilt 20-10.

● Curtis Painter threw for 448 yards and five touchdowns as Purdue blitzed Indiana 62-10, sending Boilermakers coach Joe Tiller out with a memorable Old Oaken Bucket victory.

● After having a potential game-winning field goal blocked with seven seconds left in the fourth quarter, Brandon Hellevang kicked a 33-yarder in overtime to give North Dakota a 34-31 win over South Dakota.
