82.   Bret Saberhagen will start for the Red Sox Friday, and he certainly deserves the nod.

83.   Brown starts for the injured Plummer and faces a team still celebrating its big victory last week over Denver that stopped a Denver hex over New England.

86.   Brad Johnson will start for the Vikings.

87.   Brady, who has started for the past three seasons, has one year of eligibility left.

88.   Brent Mayne started for Hundley.
