BCS and Top 25 Implications

Connecticut and Pittsburgh will be lucky to finish .500 this year.

Pittsburgh Player to Watch: Tino Sunseri, QB

Tino Sunseri has been average at best through his first three years, but he has played much better in his senior campaign. He has shown great signs of improvement this year while passing for 14 touchdowns to just two interceptions.

Sunseri hasn't thrown an interception since Sept. 15 against Virginia Tech.

Connecticut Player to Watch: Geremy Davis, WR

Averaging 15.2 yards per catch, Geremy Davis presents one of the few threats in the Huskies offensive attack. He has only recorded 36 receptions and one touchdown this season, but he has proved to be a guy who can make things happen when he touches the ball.

Quarterback Chandler Whitmer has really struggled to find his consistency this season. With seven touchdowns and 13 interceptions, Whitmer has recorded only three games with more touchdowns than interceptions.

That has made it difficult for Davis to be a factor.

Prediction: Pittsburgh 20, Connecticut 17

Both teams simply aren't very good. They both struggle offensively, but Pittsburgh's rushing attack will ultimately be the difference-maker.

Ray Graham and Rushel Shell are one of the better running back tandems in the Big East. They will lead the Panthers to a narrow victory.
