PAST
TCU was on an unbeaten roll and threatening to crack the BCS list at 6-0 going into the game. The penalty breakdown for their win was 4 to 11, against UAB. Lonta Hobbs ran for two touchdowns and Nick Browne kicked four field goals for TCU, but those were the only points TCU got from nine drives that started within 60 yards of the UAB end zone.UAB's late rally ended when quarterback Darrell Hackney got hurt. He left having thrown five passes of at least 25 yards with runs of 20 and 29 yards. Replacement Chris Williams failed to get a first down until the last drive, in which he also threw threw the game-ending INT.
PRESENT
Hackney is healthy and UAB is rolling, having fought off revenge of Cincinnati two weeks ago, then going into hostile territory in SEC land and covering against a desperate Mississippi State team. TCU now has a horrible defense following the graduations and NFL drafting of several key members that held down the fort last season. They are also a big penalty-committing team in their final season as a member of Conference USA. UAB has committed only 28 penalties this season, to TCU's 45, for half the yardage.

107 Boston College -8
at Pittsburgh
2003 L 13 - 24
PAST
The game was played just after BC had won their fifth game of the season by beating Notre Dame on their home field. A halfback-option TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald was the game's big play.
In their prior trip to BC, Pitt had suffered a 45-7 loss, their worst defeat during coach Walt Harris' tenure. ''It is exciting to sit in this room, to be in that locker room with the memory I have from the last time we were here,'' he said after the win.
Boston College star RB Derrick Knight could have finished with an even higher total than his 119 yards on 19 carries, but he had a 41-yard TD called back on a penalty that would have put BC up 20-17. BC starting QB was Quentin Porter.
PRESENT
Instead of being off Notre Dame, Boston College is off a bye week. The Pittsburgh offense cannot move the football very well in the wake of all the playmakers they lost from last season's team. QB Tyler Palko is inexperienced and not a threat to run when the receivers are covered or he is under pressure. Pitt averages only 14 first downs per game vs. Division 1A opponents, vs. BC's 20. Boston College comes off a bye week, and has been working several running backs into the mix of a very strong ground game that should control this outing from start to finish, while their defensive line harrasses Palko's comeback attempts. BC starting QB will be Paul Peterson, who has replaced Porter.
