Kickoff

QB or not QB?
Michigan has two capable
quarterbacks who can take
the Wolverines bowling on
New Years day. But which
one will they ultimately
choose? Page 9

Back pains
After battling through an
injury-plagued sophomore
season, Anthony Thomas is
finally healthy. Meanwhile,
fellow back Justin Fargas
isn't. Page 10

Kicking it
After tearing his ACL, it
looked like kicker Hayden
Epstein would be out for
the season. Who would've
thought he'd play in the
opener? Page 11

Invisible line
Offensive lineman like i1
best when no one's
talking about them -
that means they're doin
their job.
Page 1

'99
How to decide?
t Daily columnist Rick
Freeman asks why is this
decision must be so
ig crucial?

Team previews
Rice Page 3
The key this game? No, not Steve Hutchinson, Hayden Epstein or
Anthony Thomas. Actually, it's food.
Syracuse Page 3
With the slippery Donovan McNabb gone to the NFL, the Orange
are forced to choose from a pair of inexperienced quarterbacks.
Wisconsin Page 4
Even though they have a quarterback named Bollinger, the only
way the Badgers will be partying is if Ron Dayne can lead them
back to Pasadena.
Purdue Page 5
Drew Brees will throw for plenty of yards, but it will be Purdue's
defense that dictates how far the Boilermakers will go this season.
Michigan State Page 6
After numerous near-misses and burned couches the past couple of
years, the Spartans say they have a new attitude.
Illinois Page 7
The Illini have had their problems learning how to win. Coach Ron
Turner thinks that this might be the year they compete for a bowl.
Indiana Page 7
Adewale Ogunleye - a New York City native - turned down the
NFL to stay in Bloomington one more year. Why?
Northwestern Page 8
New coach Randy Walker says he doesn't have a competent quarter-
back, but the Wildcats will try to play anyway.
Penn State Page 13
Joe, Joe, Joe, we all know you've got a great team this year, even if
you won't admit it. Are you going to keep pretending that they're
just another bunch of buys in whiteand blue? Say it ain't so, Joe.
Ohio State Page 14
The Buckeyes lost their opening game for the first time since 1986,
but they still have their minds set on revenge against a certain team
in Michigan. And they wouldn't mind beating the Wolverines,
either.
Scouting report Page 16
Who's going to play, Drew Henson or Tom Brady? Well, we can't tell
you... but we'll tell you everything else.
Polls and picks Page 19
