Sneak peek at the week ahead

Here's a quick look at what's in-store for the Big East in Week 2: Pitt at Cincinnati (ESPN, 8 p.m. ET Thursday): The Panthers will look to show that a Week 1 home loss to FCS Youngstown State was an aberration, as they go for the first win of the Paul Chryst era against a well-rested Cincinnati team that had a Week 1 bye, but has at least shared the conference crown in three of the last four years. NC State at UConn (ESPN3, noon ET Saturday): The Wolfpack are trying to bounce back from a season-opening Friday night loss to Tennessee in Atlanta against a Huskies squad that looked dominant in its Thursday night shutout of UMass.
