Connecticut vs. Ohio

Handicapping notes: The Huskies will employ a no-huddle offense, which is a drastic change from previous years. Star running back Donald Brown is gone, but strong armed QB Zach Frazier and speedy skilled position players are waiting in the wings. Brown is one of four Huskies chosen in the first two runs of the NFL draft.

Andre Dixon went down the tubes last year following rushing for 828 yards last year. He was second team All-Big East and all reports are that he again has his priorities straight.

The aforesaid Frazier, a Notre Dame transfer, is the most talented QB UConn has had since Dan Orlovsky.

LSU vs. Washington

Many experts expect Washington QB Jake Locker to thrive in new coach Steve Sarkisian’s system. Locker missed most of last year with a thumb injury.

The Huskies have lost 14 straight games. He is facing a rebuilt LSU defense under John Chavis.

Following a disappointing season, the Bengal Tigers have a new defensive coordinator, and Jordan Jefferson becomes the full-time QB after replacing Jarrett Lee late last year. Lee threw 16 interceptions against just 14 touchdowns before being replaced.

It also marks the debut of heralded freshman Russell Shepard for LSU. Shepard is a slash and wildcat jack of all trades.

LSU gave up more than 30 points five times last year in a year they lost five games. Washington was worse allowing 38.6 points per game. They return eight starters on defense.

LSU has won 19 straight games outside the conference, but this is the furthest the team has ever traveled. However 15,000 LSU fans have made the trip.

The Spartans though lost two CBs and a DL to the NFL but has seven returning starters on defense. Their coach Dick Tomey is famous for building the famed Arizona Desert Swarm defenses of the 1990s. San Jose State will blitz the freshman often.

Navy vs. Ohio State

Not only has Ohio State never seen the triple option offense, but it could be a huge look-ahead game as they host USC next week.

Navy led the nation is rushing each of the last four years and returns seven starters from a defense that allowed 21.4 points per game. Highly touted QB Ricky Dobbs takes over for the Midshipmen.
