• League: Conference USA
• In '99: 3-8 (0-6 C-USA)
• Coach: Rick Minter (seventh year, 27-38-1)
• Starters returning: 18
• Starters lost: 4
• Offense: Pro Set
• Defense: 4-3
• Opponents fear this: UC has a deep, talented corps of running backs led by Ray Jackson (transfer from Michigan) and DeMarco McCleskey. They should open up the passing game for senior QB Deontey Kenner.
• Opponents love this: UC gave up 31 or more points in a game four times last year. The kicking game is unproven.
