COLLEGE FOOTBALL:
FBCCOLLCAPS10 (Lindsay, SHNS) -- Capsule previews of Thursday's North Carolina-Rutgers game along with Friday's Kansas-South Florida showdown. 590.
FBCPATTON (Patton, The Press-Enterprise -- column) -- LOS ANGELES: USC hardly has jitters over facing Ohio State. Maybe it's because the Trojans play opponents as good, if not better, than OSU every Tuesday in practice. The competition -- No. 1 defense vs. No. 1 offense -- identifies who gets to start. 800.
FBCSTRANGE (Strange, SHNS -- column) -- KNOXVILLE, Tenn.: Tennessee must fix the second-biggest bane for any offense -- the dreaded three-and-out. 620.
SPORTSCENE:
JONES (Jones, St. Petersburg Times -- column) -- Take heart Patriots' fans, these backup QBs shined when they got a chance. Other thoughts. 680.
NFL:
LINCICOME (Lincicome, SHNS -- column) -- Just how could the too young, too unproven, too recently mediocre, too dubious Broncos turn in such a dominant performance vs. the Raiders? 750.
TENNIS:
JENKINS (Jenkins, San Francisco Chronicle -- column) -- Roger Federer can solve this whole problem quite easily. He can win next year's French Open, rub some red clay into his face, and then soak up worldwide proclamations that he is the greatest tennis player of all time. 440.
SPORTS COLLECTIBLES:
ASKBABE10 (Waxpak, SHNS -- Column) -- The Babe answers sports collectibles questions and adds a few notes. 640. With photo: SH08I081ASKBABE
