Area College Football Capsules Navy at Tulsa <br> Where: Skelly Stadium When: 7 p.m. <br> Shooting for 3-0: Navy is off to its first 2-0 start since 1996. The Midshipmen haven't started 3-0 since 1979, when they won their first six games and finished 7-4. Navy has started 3-0 only twice in the past 40 years -- the 1978 team won its first seven games. Tulsa, which improved from 1-11 in 2002 to 8-5 last season, the best turnaround in college football, has lost its first two games, 21-3 at Kansas and 38-21 at Oklahoma State. Going 3-0 "would be a great start, and it would be a great beginning to achieve the goals that they've set for themselves," Navy Coach Paul Johnson said. "It's not going to make the season if we win, and it's not going to kill it if we lose." | 1 |
Cavaliers, Hokies Play Host Akron at No. 12 Virginia <br> Where: Scott Stadium, Charlottesville<br> When: 3 p.m. Radio: WTNT-570 Tickets: Sold out <br> Another Top QB: Like North Carolina's Darian Durant last week, Akron quarterback Charlie Frye is the key to his team's slim chances of upsetting the Cavaliers. The 6-foot-4 senior, likened by Virginia Coach Al Groh to recent ACC stars Matt Schaub and Philip Rivers, ranks fourth among active NCAA quarterbacks with 9,048 career passing yards. In losses the past two weeks to Penn State and Middle Tennessee, Frye completed 60 of 80 passes for 622 yards. Weather permitting, he will present a challenge for an inexperienced Virginia secondary that made a few too many errors in deep coverage in its first two games. | 1 |

The Rundown 5 LSU at 14 Auburn 3:30 p.m., WUSA-9, WJZ-13 <br>Don't expect a resolution to LSU's quarterback controversy, which pits freshman JaMarcus Russell against senior Marcus Randall. "My view is that both quarterbacks can be weapons for our team," LSU Coach Nick Saban said. No such controversy in Auburn's backfield, where Carnell Williams and Ronnie Brown are both averaging more than 100 rushing yards per game. Hurricane Ivan, of course, is raging in the South. But so is Auburn, which remembers the 31-7 thrashing at the hands of LSU last season. The winner of this game will be the favorite in the SEC West. | 1 |
