Mailbag Question:

Hi guys,

Coach Rod and Coach Dantonio coached against each other in the Big East. Tell me about their rivalry. Example: Won/loss records against each other, recruiting wars, respect, or no respect for each other, best buddies or enemies, who had whose number. You get the idea.

You guys have a great site.
Thanks for your response,

Tom.

Thanks for the question. West Virginia under Coach Rod played Cincinnati under Coach Dantonio twice, in 2005 and 2006. West Virginia won both games using a strong running attack.

In 2006, West Virginia won 42- 24 and had over 300 yards rushing, with two long runs by Slaton. In 2005, West Virginia won 38-0 behind almost 300 yards rushing and 4 Touchdowns by Slaton.

Hard to say one had the others number when playing only a few times along with the fact that West Virginia (IMO) is a bigger football program than Cincinnati. We will see what happens very soon.
