With the five major conferences covered, this is the last entry in reference to spring practices. I know Big East is a BCS conference , but in my point of view not as important as the other five and their level is quite low. This entry
pick six programs that I find most interesting. Surely not agree with me in the election, but you know that everyone likes the colors. In the Big East have chosen UConn as reigning champions, West Virginia and Pittsburgh. Of the non-BCS Boise State are and TCU with Notre Dame as the only independent.
TCU Horned Frogs
Record 2010: 13-0 (MWC Champion).
Bowl 2010: Victoria in Rose Bowl vs. Wisconsin (21-19). Low
important QB Andy Dalton, Jeremy WR Kearley and OT Marcus Cannon. Main
returns: Ed Weasley RB, LB Tanner Brock and LB Tank Carder.
Spring Practices Start: March 5.
Spring Game: April 7 .
Analysis: With only 6 starters back, the Horned Frogs will be difficult to repeat the perfect season they achieved in 2010. The attack is the main question of who will be the QB, after Andy Dalton has captured the title the past four years. Expect a great year of RB Ed Weasley will receive a lot of carries. The defense is good news to regain his two LB's headlines, which are key to the success of the 4-2-5 system of Gary Patterson.
Boise State Broncos
Record 2010: 12-1 (Co-Champions of the MAC).
Bowl 2010: Victory in the Maaco Bowl vs. Utah (26-3). Low
important WR Titus Young, WR Austin Pettis and S Jerod Johnson. Main
returns: QB Kellen Moore, RB Doug Martin and DT Billy Winn.
Spring Practices Start: March 7.
Spring Game: April 6 .
Analysis: Boise State has left the MAC in order to receive more prestige, for it has chosen the MWC where they will face TCU . Kellen Moore will continue to lead the team, but will have to face up to its two main targets Titus Young and Austin Pettis OC and has accompanied him throughout his career, Bryan Harsina. But the main architect of the success of the Broncos is Chris Petersen, who is a year in Idaho to continue the great project that has been invented.
Pittsburgh Panthers
Record 2010: 8-5 (3rd in Big East).
Bowl 2010: Victoria Compass Bowl vs. Kentucky (27-10). Low
important Dion RB Lewis, WR Jon Baldwin and DE Jhabal Sheard. Main
returns: QB Tino Sunseri , RB Ray and DE Brandon Graham Lindsey.
Spring Practices Start: March 15.
Spring Game: April 16 .
Analysis: The Panthers were a disappointment in 2010, failed to win the Big East despite being the favorites. In the offseason went through difficult times after the dismissal of Dave Wannstedt , through the arrest of Michael Heywood , to end as HC Todd Graham. progress Dion Lewis, allow check the real capacity Ray Graham who has been relegated to second place despite reaching the 900-yard race in 2010.
West Virginia Mountaineers
2010 Record: 9-4 (2nd Big East)
Bowl 2010: Defeat Champs Sports Bowl vs. North Carolina State (23 - 7). Low
important RB Noel Devine, CB Brandon Hogan and LB JT Thomas. Main
returns: Geno Smith QB, OT and DT Don Brakley Scooter Berry.
Spring Practices Start: March 28.
Spring Game: 29 April.
Analysis: Attack of West Virginia not what it was when Rich Rod was responsible for directing the orchestra. To overcome this impasse the Mountaineers been hired as OC and HC from 2012 to Dana Holgorsen that comes from doing wonders Oklahoma State, the position of HC from 2012. With the departure of Noel Devine , Geno Smith becomes the main weapon, after a good 2010. In defense WV if they fell short, getting only 13 points per game, but will face casualties DT Chris Neild , LB JT Thomas and S Sidney Glover and Robert Sands .
UConn Huskies
Record 2010: 8-5 (Big East Champion).
Bowl 2010: Defeat Fiesta Bowl vs Oklahoma (48-20). Low
important RB Jordan Todman, LB Lawrence Wilson and LB Scott Lutrus. Main
returns: Sio Moore LB, DT / DE Kendall Reyes and C Moe Petrus.
Spring Practices Start: March 15.
Spring Game: April 16 .
Analysis: After winning the Big East , HC Randy Edsall left his job to train Maryland. Now Huskies begin their title defense with former DC of Dallas Cowboys , Paul Pasqualoni as HC. Also lost to Jordan Todman last year rushed for 1,695 yards. The air strike was ranked the 110th in yards per game and also lost his only QB with experience. The defense is another world, returning a total of 9 holders grated unit at high level in 2010 and also the accession of Pasqualoni can add a plus for improvement.
Notre Dame Irish Figthing
2010 Record: 8-5
Bowl 2010: Victoria in the Sun Bowl vs. Miami (33-17). Low
important TE Kyle Rudolph, DT Ian Williams and RB Armando Allen. Main
returns: WR Michael Floyd, LB Manti Te'o and RB Wood Close.
Spring Practices Start: March 23.
Spring Game: April 16 .
Analysis: The first year was positively Kelly ended winning the last four games. The battle for the starting job the focus. Dayne Crist was injured in the absence of 4 matches, at which time Tommy Rees took the job and led the Irish to four consecutive victories. The other question is whether the star WR Michael Floyd play again as Irish after being punished for his arrest for DUI. The remaining positions seem quite settled with a total of 17 holders back in South Bend .
