Miami at Penn State.(preview of football game)(Brief Article)
8 p.m ET, Saturday, ABC
Why you should watch: If you believe the preseason predictions, this could be an epic mismatch. Miami finds itself in the top five's rarified air, and cynics wonder whether Penn State coach Joe Paterno will get the two wins he needs to pass Bear Bryant on the career wins list.
Fear not, drama fans. New Hurricanes coach Larry Coker must prove he can carry on the Butch Davis legacy faithfully, and Penn State's expanded stadium will be filled with 106,000-plus JoePa zealots looking for some old-style upset magic. New Nittany Lions QB Matt Senneca must find some holes in the loaded Miami secondary, and the 'Canes, led by QB Ken Dorsey, must come up with some front-line receiving targets to replace Reggie Wayne and Santana Moss.
Miami game keys:
* With dangerous RBs Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee and Jarrett Payton running behind a hulking line that includes all-star Ts u Gonzalez and Bryant McKinnie, Miami might not need to pass at all.
* Sophomore D.J. Williams moved from fullback to outside linebacker to fortify a unit that lost big producer Dan Morgan. Though not yet as reliable as Morgan, Johnson has serious big-play potential.
