- Connecticut Huskies
The Huskies are starting to build a great program and
the recruiting class this year was a sign of the direction this football team is
going. With Miami (Fla.) and Virginia Tech gone in 2004 and Boston College gone in
2005, the timing to establish themselves as an elite program could not be better. This
team is out to prove the 9-3 mark in 2003 was no fluke and this year they hope to get
a bowl birth....more

- Boston College Eagles
This will be the final year for the Eagles in the Big East before they bolt
for the ACC in 2005, a move that will give the ACC 12 teams and the right to host a
conference Championship Game. This team has a few areas where they need help and are a
question mark but the offensive and defensive lines are so good that they could end up
winning the Big East in 2004....more
Pittsburgh Panthers 2004 Preview
Walt Harris will defiantly earn his paycheck this year
as coach of the Panthers. Harris saw a lot of talent leave the school after last
season but he should get a break with a weakened division for 2004 allowing him to
retool for the future....more
Rutgers Scarlet Knights 2004
Preview
Rutgers looks like a team that could really make some
noise in the Big East once some of the heavyweights drop by the wayside. If the
defense holds up this team could be very good and surprise more than just Syracuse....more
Syracuse Orangemen 2004
Football Preview
This is a big year for Syracuse but they don’t have a quarterback on their
roster with a completed pass in their college careers. Syracuse can run the
ball effectively but they need to establish balance on offense to keep
opposing defenses honest. This team should finish right around .500 like a
year ago....more
Temple Owls 2004 Preview
This will be the final season for Temple in the Big East
as they move to Independent status for 2005. This team can win some games with solid
defensive play up front and a healthy dose of Walter Washington at quarterback both
passing and running the football. Temple has yet to see a bowl game since the 1979
campaign and that will continue. I do see this team at least tripling their win total
from a year ago…by tripling I mean going from one to at least three....more |
