Testing Grounds The latest industry being outsourced to India is clinical drug trials. And any number of tragic things can happen on the way to your medicine cabinet.
Friday Night Rewind It doesn't matter which team you cheer for. We've got video previews of every high school football program in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando County.
The matchup to watch is how well USF (5-0, 0-0 Big East) can contain sophomore LeSean McCoy, who had a career-low 55 yards in last year's game, though he did score three touchdowns. Pitt (3-1, 1-0) has thrown only two touchdowns in four games, but needs quarterback Bill Stull to complete passes early to keep the defense from stacking the line to stop McCoy. USF hasn't had one breakout back, but five runners have combined with quarterback Matt Grothe to score 13 touchdowns and average 201 yards per game. Could this be the game USF has its first 100-yard rusher of the season?
Watch out for … These two teams have allowed a Big East-high eight sacks each, though USF didn't allow any in last week's win against N.C. State. Pitt has 13 sacks in four games, so there'll be more pressure on Grothe than in past games. USF's pass rush could use the healthy return of end George Selvie and tackle Terrell McClain, who missed last week and will be a game-time decision because of lingering ankle injuries.
