Saturday’s match-up between UConn and Pittsburgh pits (no pun intended) two teams plagued by inconsistency all year. Pittsburgh lost to Bowling Green and gave up 54 points!!! to Rutgers while UConn, the only team in the nation besides Oklahoma to defeat 10-2 Cincinnati, lost headscratchers to Rutgers and South Florida. My guess for Saturday is as good as yours. One things for sure, however. A national audience will be treated to a show by two of the premier running backs in the country–Pitt’s LeSean McCoy and UConn’s Donald Brown. Both figure to declare for the 2009 NFL Draft, and both figure to go pretty high. Here’s where they rank among the top running back prospects:
1A. Chris “Beanie” Wells, Ohio State
1B. McCoy
3.Knowshon Moreno, Georgia
4. Brown
5. DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma
