How Kentucky and Pittsburgh match up in the BBVA Compass Bowl

Who has the advantage?

How Pittsburgh and Kentucky match up for Saturday's BBVA Compass Bowl at Birmingham, Ala.:

Quarterback

Pitt sophomore Tino Sunseri was solid in his first year as a starter, throwing for 2,476 yards with 15 touchdowns and eight interceptions. While the Panthers rely heavily on the running game, Sunseri is more than capable of stepping up and making big plays. He lit up a good Syracuse defense for four TD passes, and threw for 284 and 272 yards against West Virginia and Notre Dame. UK also has a sophomore quarterback running the offense, but this will be Morgan Newton's first significant action of the season. Newton was more of a game-manager in his eight-game stint as a starter last year, but Coach Joker Phillips said Newton is now ready to handle a heavier workload in the offense. He'll have to be able to complete some downfield passes for the offense to have the same balance it had with Mike Hartline at the helm.
