New poll: Not much separating Coakley and Baker

The two major gubernatorial candidates who emerged victorious from Tuesday’s primaries appear to be in a neck-and-neck battle in the general election.

According to polling done by WBUR in the days before the primary, 39 percent of those polled said they would support Attorney General Martha Coakley, a Democrat, while 34 percent said they would support Republican Charlie Baker. Twenty percent said they were undecided. METRO

Stephen Silva has pleaded not guiltyto possessing an illegal gun, alongwith drug traffi cking charges. TRANSIT POLICE

Witness paid $66K in case vs. Tsarnaev friend Federal prosecutors said they paid over $66,000 to an uniden-tified witness who has helped them in a case against a friend of accused Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

The friend, 21-year-old Ste-phen Silva, pleaded not guilty in federal court last month to trafficking heroin and pos-sessing an illegal handgun. He allegedly supplied the gun that prosecutors say Tsarnaev and his late brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev used in the shooting death of MIT Police Officer

Sean Collier after the deadly April 15, 2013, bombings.

The witness was cooperat-ing in the drug investigation against Silva, and was at one time a member of a violent street gang who was facing fed-eral gun and firearm charges, according to court papers filed Wednesday. The money he received covers “payments for services, expenses and relocation” as well as speeding tickets and an outstanding fine to a previous landlord.

“I think [$66,000] is an

unusually high amount,” said Suffolk University law professor Chris Dearborn. “It is something the general public should be uncomfortable with. It’s our tax dollars, right? It’s one thing to give a plane ticket

to someone who has to come testify, but paying for some-one’s expenses and getting them out of traffic tickets — a lot of people are uncomfort-able with it.”

However, Dearborn said it’s “perfectly legal and ethical” for feds to reward witnesses aiding in an investigation.

“A lot of situations like this can get pretty unsavory,” he said, adding that if the witness testifies he should “be treated with very cautious eyes.” MORGAN ROUSSEAU

Embattled Pussy Riot band invited to speak at Harvard

Pussy Riot are coming to Cam-bridge.

Members of the political punk band are best known for being jailed in their native Russia after they performed a “punk prayer” in a Russian ca-thedral that was critical of then-prime minister, now president Vladimir Putin. Their arrests and imprisonment spurred an international debate about free-dom of speech and expression.

Two members of the group are slated to appear at Har-vard’s JFK Jr. Forum this Mon-day evening. While the event is open to the public, attendees were already drawn from a lot-tery earlier this week. The talk features no set agenda and au-dience members will have the opportunity to ask questions.

The talk is entitled “A Con-versation with the Feminist

Protest Art Collective Pussy Riot” and is being hosted by the school’s Kennedy School of Government.

Pussy Riot members Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolo-konnikova are scheduled to speak. Jill Dougherty, a former CNN journalist and current fel-low at the Kennedy School, will moderate the discussion.

After their punk prayer performance at a Russian Or-thodox cathedral, members of the band were found guilty of hooliganism and sentenced to two years in jail.

They were granted amnesty in December 2013, although some members speculated they were released to curry favor in the international commu-nity in the run-up to the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

During her time in prison, Tolokonnikova went on hunger strike to protest prison condi-tions.

Second Mass. West Nile case confi rmed

State offi cials have confi rmed a second case of West Nile virus this year.

The individual, a woman in her 40s who lives in Middle-sex County, was hospitalized

by the disease, but has been released and is recovering, according to offi cials.

The virus is usually transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito.

Less than 1 percent of those infected with West Nile develop a sometimes fatal neurologic illness. METRO

Fire investigators probe blaze at defunct business

Fire officials are looking into the cause of a 5-alarm fire that tore through a vacant pharma-ceutical building Wednesday night, prompting concerns over toxic fumes.

The blaze broke out around 7:30 p.m. at 423 LaGrange St. Firefighters knocked out the flames within hours, but went

Boston Fire Department Spokesman Steve MacDonald said Thursday afternoon that the cause of the fire as well as its origin were under investiga-tion.

Damage was estimated at $2 million, MacDonald said. The building was reportedly purchased earlier this month, and was slated to be turned into roughly 60 housing units.

The building had been used to manufacture asthma inhal-ers until three years ago. There was concern over the possibil-ity that hazardous chemicals could have been released into the air, though fire officials said the potentially toxic materials had been removed from the building.

The 5th Annual Boston Local Food Festival is set to unfold on the Rose Kennedy Greenway on Sunday, offering sustainable food-loving Bostonians a taste of New England’s best harvests and catches.

“Boston is a noted foodie city,” said Nicola Williams, a food fest spokeswoman. “More and more in Boston we’re going back to the land. People want to know where their food comes from.”

The free food festival is pro-duced by the Sustainable Busi-ness Network of Massachusetts and is built upon the principles of creating a local, green and fair economy, organizers said.

Vendors from across New England will represent local farms, restaurants, food trucks, fishers, specialty food produc-ers, and food and fitness-relat-ed organizations.

More than 25,000 foodies will be able to purchase tast-ing plates, specialty foods and produce. MORGAN ROUSSEAU

Hailo on Thursday announced a new feature in Boston which allows passengers to pay for a street-hailed taxi ride through the app.

Pay With Hailo uses Apple’s iBeacon technology to automatically recognize when a passenger is in a Hailo driver’s vehicle. The app then invites passengers to connect and pay for their ride with one simple click.

Hailo is the first app of its kind to offer the service, the company said.

“Hailo’s vision has always been to make daily life a little more hassle free, and the launch of Pay with Hailo is a big step in that direction,” said Hailo CEO Tom Barr.

For an initial promotional period, there will be no charge for using Pay with Hailo. METRO

New TV fi nally returns!Summer TV has packed its bags, which means our beautiful best friend, New TV, is back in town.

We’ve broken down a list of what you can expect from the incoming crop of shows — and picked out a few old ones to embrace like the beloved companions they are. LISA WEIDENFELD

1 2 3 4 5 Cancellation watch

In a perfect world, all these little fl owers would survive and thrive and air six seasons and a movie; alas, some of them are going to get the boot. Here are our picks for which new shows you might not be seeing for too long.

1‘Selfi e,’ ABC, premieres 8 p.m., Sept. 30 Someday,

someone will fi nd a show worthy of John Cho. This is not that show. Of course, given the terrible things “Sleepy Hollow” put him through, we can’t blame him for seeking something new.

2‘Mulaney,’ FOX, premieres 9:30 p.m., Oct. 5 Former “SNL”

writer John Mulaney takes his tal-ents to the sitcom world, bringing fellow “SNL” alum Nasim Pedrad with him. Martin Short and Elliot Gould join them, but that didn’t stop NBC from passing on the show. Fox is hoping to overcome tepid word of mouth.

Return of the rom-com Remember “Mad About You”? Ap-parently, so do TV execs, because there are some romantic sitcoms hitting the small screen this year. The genre may be a bit DOA in the movie world, but TV hasn’t given up on it.

1‘Marry Me,’ NBC, premieres 9 p.m., Oct. 14 Fans of the under-

watched “Happy Endings” should watch this, since it again pairs series creator David Caspe with cast member Casey Wilson. Also on hand: Ken Marino, who you may recognize from “Party Down” and “Children’s Hospital.”

2‘A to Z,’ NBC, premieres 9:30 p.m., Oct. 2 Cristin Milioti

(the mother of “How I Met Your Mother”) fi nds herself in another “narrated from the future” show. This time, Katey Sagal tells viewers how long she’ll date Ben Feld-man’s Andrew. We just hope her character survives this one.

Swan songs

A few beloved shows will be fi nishing out a fi nal season. The best time to think about this is in September, when you’ve still got a full season of TV left and no on-again/off -again couples have been shoehorned back together to make for a happy ending.

1‘Parenthood,’ NBC, returns 10 p.m., Sept. 25 NBC’s weekly

cry-o-rama has been on the verge of cancellation the whole time it’s aired. This time, it really is the end. Series creator Jason Katims has said a broader story unites the Braverman clan this season.

2 ‘Parks and Recreation,’ NBC, return TBD Ready to see

what the future holds? “Parks” jumped three years forward in time. The premiere date is TBD, but we included it here because Amy Poehler’s Leslie Knope has admitted she already has a eulogy written for her coworker called “Ron Swanson, a swan song.”

Women behaving oddly This premiere season features a few shows whose main premise seems to be that the female leads are behaving in some way outside the norm for women.

1‘Bad Judge,’ NBC, premiere She’s a judge, but she also

drinks! Kate Walsh stars in this comedy about a woman who somehow manages to have a serious adult job while still having a fun private life.

2‘How to Get Away with Mur-der,’ ABC, premieres 10 p.m.,

Sept. 25 She’s a law professor, but she has unorthodox methods and might be a murderer: The latest from certifi ed TV genius Shonda Rimes, this show revolves around a genius law school instructor played by Oscar-winner Viola Davis. Has Davis gotten away with murder, or have the students? It’s unclear just yet, but someone will probably be trying to do it.

Superheroes and supergeniuses There are many ways to save the day on TV and, as usual, there are a few diff erent types of people trying to do it this season.

1‘The Flash,’ CW, premieres 8 p.m., Oct. 7 He’s really fast,

and he can save the day! This one’s a spinoff of the ever-popular “Arrow.” Since that one has quickly grown into one of the hotter CW shows, we have high hopes for its new buddy, which might build up a fan base even faster. See what we did there?

2‘Scorpion,’ CBS, premieres 9 p.m., Sept.

22 The heroes of this show are a little more real world-based. They’re a group of slightly erratic geniuses who don’t do so well in the social skills department, but are good at working together to take down threats to the homeland.

“SELFIE” “MARRY ME”“PARKS AND

RECREATION” “BAD JUDGE” “SCORPION”

Check back in a few weeks for our interview with Ben McKenzie about his role on “Gotham.” / FOX

Returns

Well, will they or won’t they?

These returning shows all sport a central couple who spend a lot of time traveling back and forth along the spectrum of possibly

getting together. That may not be the only reason you watch, but

we suspect it’s something you’ve been thinking about since the

shows had their fi nales.

‘Sleepy Hollow,’ FOX, returns 9 p.m., Sept. 22

1We don’t really want to say

this is a will they/won’t they,

since we feel Abbie and Ichabod

are platonic soulmates, but we

know lots of fans are hoping

these two apocalypse-fi ghtin’

kids get together. But Ichabod’s

wife just got released from

purgatory, so this may not be

their season.

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine,’ FOX, returns 8:30 p.m., Sept. 28

2This comedy raised the

question of its central couple

getting together last season:

Andy Samberg’s Jake Peralta

asked out Melissa Fumero’s Amy

Santiago just before going on a

six-month undercover mission.

They might be less

“will they/won’t

they” and more

“are they/aren’t

they” when the

show returns.

Must-see

‘Gotham’

FOX, premieres 8 p.m., Sept. 22What exactly did the city of Gotham do before Bruce Wayne put on a mask and started batting around? This show suggests that Batman’s bud Commissioner Gordon was in charge of saving the day back then. Here, he’s just a detective trying to outwit the likes of future Joker, future Riddler and future Penguin. Basically, it’s the “before they were stars” of Batman villains.

Quoted

“Network is network. It’s fun here and there, but you don’t really get to explore

anybody.” Mihok

Interview. The ‘Ray Donovan’ star hunkers down with Metro for a few beers and some serious talk Dash Mihok is remarkably good about not giving away any details about the last few episodes of the current season of “Ray Donovan” — even after he’s been plied with a couple beers. “You know my show, they can whack me at any time, so I kind of can’t talk too much. They won’t hesi-tate to whack some-body, even if you’re a family member,” he says.

He does admit that Liev Schrieber, who plays the titular Ray, is pretty safe from any vindictive whack-ing; it would be weird if they killed off Ray Donovan on “Ray Donovan.” Or maybe not. “They could just start calling it ‘The Donovans’ or some-thing,” Mihok offers. “No, he’s safe.”

On the series, currently wrapping up its second season and

recently renewed for a third, Mihok has had plenty of time to explore the tortured soul of Bunchy Donovan, a luxury he attributes to the nature of television. “In general, you see all these movie actors moving to TV because it’s racier, it’s more interesting and they’re enjoying getting to portray these people that are really, really complicated and layered and flawed for more than two hours,” he says.

He’s not talking about TV in general, though, but rather cable. “Network is network. It’s fun here and there, but you don’t really get to explore anybody,” he

says. “No offense to CBS, my parent company, but I don’t watch anything on there. There’s so much on streaming and on cable now.”

In fact, Mihok is so enamored with the television world that he’s getting behind the camera. “I just directed a pilot and screened it at my agency last week. We’re going to sell it,” he says. “It’s a really dark comedy, and it could go to places like Amazon or Netflix. It’s got pretty racy language, but there are all these outlets for that now. We just made it ourselves, and we’re going to shop it. You could never do that before.” NED EHRBAR

Mihok hasn’t left movies behind. With two fi lms wrapped — including Mike Flanagan’s “Somnia” — and another in production, he is fi rmly in both the fi lm and television worlds. And he’s still got a few items on his wish list.

“You know what I want to do? I want to shoot a movie in Europe. I’ve never done that. You’d think that would’ve happened by now,” he says. “I mean, I’d love to be the lead and work every day, but if I didn’t have to, it would be great to have those days off so you can just take day trips to other places that you haven’t been. It’s like, ‘Let’s just bounce to Morocco for a couple of days,’ and it’s like going to Florida.”

Review

‘Dolphin Tale 2’

• • • • • Remember that fi lm about a dolphin that didn’t have a tail and at the end she got one? That slender story actu-ally got a sequel. This one is about getting the dolphin a new friend.

The lowdown: Even more so than its predecessor, there’s so little going on in “Dolphin Tale 2” that it can almost

feel like an avant-garde fi lm. Much like how Andy Warhol once created a seven-hour fi lm consisting of a single shot of the Empire State Building, the makers of these fi lms stretch slim non-narratives over relatively epic lengths. Not much happens and it takes forever to get there. Its saving grace is how surreally nice it is — probably the most thoroughly wholesome movie since David Lynch’s “The Straight Story.” At least that one had more story. MATT PRIGGE

There’s a lot of hanging out with aquatic mammals in “Dolphin Tale 2.” / WILSON WEBB

Bonus question

After reading the script for the Season 1 fi nale, did you have the same ‘holy crap’ reaction that fans did watching it? Yeah. I had a conversation with Alex Kurtzman, one of the executive producers, who told me [co-star] John Noble was the Horseman of War. I had no idea. I knew when John joined

us that he was going to be revealed to be my son; I didn’t know that he would be a bad son, so that was a huge sur-prise. Everyone is left in a situa-tion that I didn’t see coming, but they’d been planning it.

right nowasked lead Tom Mison.

When the second season picks up, hopefully everyone gets out of these dire straits pretty quickly, because they’ve got an apocalypse to prevent. That’s the big question: Not only how do people get out, but if they get out of those situations. And then once we are out, how does it affect the relationships? And that’s some-thing that resonates through-out the rest of the season. The Horseman of War doesn’t come with bombs and guns; he comes as the type of person who can plant little seeds of doubt in relationships.

How is the relationship between Ichabod, his partner-in-crime Abbie and his wife, Katrina, aff ected?What do you do with relation-ships when the apocalypse is coming? Tricky. And it’s a bit of a mood-killer. [Laughs] There are new relationships; there are new interests. There’s

someone who has his eye on Abbie. There’s of course still Katrina, and how do you reach her when she’s with the Horse-man of Death?

Do people outside the gang realize a war is being waged?Well, how do you tell people the apocalypse is coming and not get locked up? [Laughs] That’s another dilemma — we have to be a secretive army.

Will Ichabod’s wardrobe be better adapted to the modern world this season?The way our writers are dealing with Ichabod in the modern world … I’m always excited by it. Last season he meets a character [who is] into battle reenactments and she gives him some new clothes. And he might need another change, so he might go and revisit her. But that style, that’s home for him. The moment that Ichabod’s in jeans and a T-shirt with a crew cut, you lose a lot of [who he is].

Review

Tom Hardy is a weird, quiet guy in Dennis Lehane’s ‘The Drop’

• • • • •The rare fi lm written by the oft-

adapted Dennis Lehane (“Mystic

River”) fi nds a lonely working-class

Brooklyn bartender (Tom Hardy) at

the center of a headache involving

a robbery, Chechen mobsters and

a loose-cannon thug (Matthias

Schoenaerts). There’s also a cute dog.

The lowdown: The fi lms made from

Lehane’s novels are usually grandiose

and plot-heavy, but Lehane’s fi rst

script feels like a short story — a

character study in no particular hurry

to get to its hair-raising conclusion.

Even more than the sometimes too

studied “Mystic River,” it digs deep

into its dirty locale, soaking up the

feel of a location that feels unstuck in

time, where the most modern thing

is that the mobster overlords are

from Chechnya.

“The Drop” can be a bit too

digressive at times; there’s perhaps

too much of the adorable pit bull

that Hardy’s lug rescues from a trash

can. But its shagginess is part of the

master plan, which also includes

casting Hardy, who’s quiet and

shy yet vaguely eccentric. Like the

fi lm, he seems like he’s in a stupor,

yet occasionally reveals bursts of

left-fi eld confi dence. When he and

the fi lm snap into focus, watch out.

Interview. The actor always wants to try new things, like playing a psycho in “No Good Deed.”

Not Bond, not James Bond

Does the talk about how you should be the next James Bond still come up a lot?Oh yeah, everyone keeps asking me about it. It’s died down a bit; maybe it’s start-ing to pass. But it’s still just a rumor, unfortunately.

But you’re going to do more “Luther,” right?Yeah, man, I’m defi nitely trying to do that. That’s something that’s hap-pened over the last few days, where I’ve been with Neil [Cross, the show’s creator] and we’ve discussed it in depth. We’re going to move forward and try to pull off this two-hour special for TV.

Idris Elba swears he’s nice

NED EHRBAR@Nedrick [email protected]

Idris Elba is looking to chal-lenge himself during our inter-view. “Right now I’m cracking open a beer with a lighter, which is hard to do, and at the same time sound genuinely in-terested in our conversation — which I am!” he insists. We’ll have to take him at this word. In Elba’s latest, the thriller “No Good Deed,” he relishes playing mean and nasty as an ex-con menacing a single mother (Taraji P. Henson).

Why won’t you leave nice Taraji P. Henson alone?Yeah, right? I watched it yes-terday with an audience and I kept asking myself, “Why are you there? Leave her alone, she’s so sweet!” My character has this sort of relentless drive. He’s quite creepy, the charac-ter. I was watching it thinking, “Wow, I must be an actor because if I am really like that in real life, man, I wouldn’t have any friends.”

This has almost a nice throw-back feel to it.Yeah, it’s a genre film. It’s quite reminiscent of old thrillers. I was a co-producer on this, and the director and I talked about that: “Let’s remind audiences that they’re in a thriller.” You’re going to hear thunder and you’re going to hear mood music and stuff. For some reason we stopped making those types of films, but they work.

What kind of projects are interesting you now?I’m into being very varied, sort of shaking up genres. This film, for example — one could argue in America that this is penned as an African-American film, but it really isn’t. It isn’t a specific market film, it’s just a film. My personal taste is to try to turn these genres on their heads and break down these lines that we have that seg-ment film one way or another. And also personally, I’m into really big, full characters at the moment. That’s what I want to develop: iconic characters like Mandela, like Luther.

Carving up some dinner with Jamie Bissonnette Hot Chef. The Toro and Coppa chef talks getting over the ick factor of charcuterie and off al.

After winning over Bostonians at Toro and Coppa, chef Jamie Bissonnette took his talents to New York and opened Toro NYC. Despite this full schedule, he’s also taken the time to publish “The New Charcuterie Cookbook.” The book aims to show people how to make cured meats at home. We talked to him about how to ease into eating the more unfa-miliar parts of the animal.

What made you decide to go for it and write a cookbook

about an unusual topic like this?My dad just started cooking in the last 10 years, and I give him recipes based off of stuff that we do at the restaurant. It was like, “Oh, this might be kind of fun.” So I looked at it as a challenge. I’m also the kind of person where if someone’s like, “Hey do you want to do this?” and if I’ve never done it before, chances are, unless it’s like skydiving or something with heights, which I’m terri-fied of, the answer’s yes. I want to be able to say that I tried. Even if I fail — Every time you don’t try, you always fail, right?

How do you talk people into trying new kinds of meat?Eye contact and a smile? It’s kind of true, though. If you build trust with people, they’ll be into it. You give them delicious food and you cook it properly. They can trust you that you’re going to make them a good meatball, that you’re going to make them a perfect paella. You build their trust with the simple foods. Then you say, “Hey, I’m going to give you something that you’re used to. I’ve made you a really awesome roast beef. Well, I’m going to give you another roast beef, but this

time it’s beef heart.” And just be positive and smile.

Since you’re a charcuterie expert, why are sweetbreads called that?I have no idea.

It’s very misleading.

Bonus question

What’s the best intro to off al?The hardest part of cooking some off al is the texture. If you can get through that, it’s pretty

awesome. Crispy sweetbreads are a good introduction. I always tell people, perfectly cooked and fried sweetbreads have the same texture that chicken McNuggets do.

Don’t judge others’ tattoosRe: ‘Cara Delevingne kicks it

It is to try to appear intelligent and nerdy rather than judgmental and ignorant? Because if that’s the case, it’s not working. This is the second time in the past couple months that you’ve rudely judged someone else’s tattoos. I get you’re supposed to be a bitchy, gossipy, fake type of

What does US gain from fi ghting ISIS?Re: ‘Obama unveils his strategy

to eliminate ISIL’ (Metro, Sept.

11) In his Wednesday address, President Obama appears to be avoiding the mistakes and pitfalls of his immediate prede-cessor, although his proposed

strategy is unlikely to please or even quiet his many critics (es-pecially given nothing short of his impeachment would actually accomplish that). Unfortunately for the rest of us, he appears poised to repeat the same mistakes made by Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon with Vietnam: excessive — and ultimately counterproductive — use of air power, depen-dence upon unreliable regional partners, early promises of no troops being deployed and no clear benchmarks for measuring success. The administration’s chief counterterrorism ad-viser has already stated that ISIS

poses no imminent nor credible danger to America’s security, so what justifi es such a broad and hazardous commitment beyond the bloodlust of a handful of pundits? After the last 13 years of sacrifi cing our troops, trea-sure and freedoms in the name of “homeland security,” people deserve a straight answer on this one question, but one I suspect we will never receive.JOSEPH CONNELL, VIA EMAIL

The thought of the Patriots be-ginning a season 0-2 under Bill Belichick has been something close to unimaginable in New England’s championship-con-tending, modern era. In fact, it hasn’t happened in 13 years.In 2001, the Pats lost to the Bengals and Jets before they blew out the Colts in Week 3 — Tom Brady’s first game as the Patriots starter.

After witnessing the Patriots lackluster performance in Week 1 of this season, and with the knowledge that Minnesota — New England’s opponent on Sunday — looks like it is far from a pushover in 2014, an 0-2 record to start the season is now certainly conceivable. The Patriots are just three-point favorites against the Vikings heading into Sunday (1 p.m., CBS). Yes, it’s a road game for New England and yes, the Vi-kings feature arguably the best offensive player in the league in Adrian Peterson. But the Vikings did go 5-10-1 last year, and have finished dead last in the NFC North in three of the last four seasons.

3Patriots storylines to watch vs. Vikings

NFL. The Patriots seek their fi rst win of 2014 against the Vikings in Minnesota.

2Rush to judgmentPeterson always has a chip on his shoulder, so one can bet

he’s not happy about a wide receiver on his own team out-rushing him in Week 1 as Cordarrelle Patterson exploded for

102 yards and a touch-down.

It’s no guarantee that Peterson will take out his

frustrations on the Pats de-fense this Sunday, however.

In Week 6 last year against Carolina, Peterson rushed for only 62 yards. He responded in Week 7 by rushing for only

28 yards against the Giants and wasn’t much better in Week 8 against Green Bay as he ran for 60 yards. He was also held under 100-yards in back-to-back games against Washington and Seattle in November of last season.

1Fear the Z-manMike Zimmer had been an assistant coach in the NFL for 20 years, but last Sunday’s 34-6 victory over St. Louis was Zimmer’s fi rst game as a head coach at any level. Not a bad way to make a debut.

The Vikings new head man made his name in the league as a sharp defensive mind in an era when the fo-cus across the league shifted to the off ensive side of the ball. Zimmer was a defensive coach for the Cowboys from 1994 through 2006, before stops in Atlanta and Cincin-nati.

As a defensive coordina-

tor, Zimmer was 1-2 against the Patriots with Tom Brady at quarterback. Brady’s numbers have been average in the three games as his quarterback rating has averaged out to 78.7. His career average rating is 95.5.

Zimmer got the best of Brady last season, when his Bengals defense held No. 12 to just 18 completions on 38 pass attempts for 197 yards. Brady also threw a pick in the Cincinnati rain.

3

Handle the pressureOne can bet that Zimmer’s game plan will be a carbon copy of Miami’s from last week. The Dolphins sacked Brady four times in Week 1 while the Vikings feasted on the two hapless quarter-backs the Rams trotted out. Minnesota’s pressure forced two interceptions, one of which was returned by Har-rison Smith for an 81-yard touchdown. Robert Blanton and rookie Anthony Barr led the Vikings in tackles in the impressive defensive eff ort.It seems as though the Pats will play the same off ensive line unit this Sunday that was dominated for much of the Dolphins game, as left tackle Nate Solder, left guard Marcus Cannon, center Dan Connolly, right guard Jordan Devey and right tackle Sebas-tian Vollmer got the brunt of the snaps with the fi rst team in practice this week.

The old college try

Boston College will have its hands full with Southern Cal

For the second straight week-end, the BC football team has its work cut out for them in a nationally televised game as they welcome powerhouse USC to Alumni Stadium on Saturday (8 p.m., ESPN).The Trojans, ranked No. 9 overall, bring more talent to The Heights than Pitt did last Friday and that should be a scary thing for the Eagles considering the Panthers dismissed them rather easily, 30-20.

The Eagles led Pitt, 7-3, after one quarter, but the Panthers ripped off 17 points in the second quarter and never looked back. The Eagles’ biggest issue was containing Pitt’s running game as James Conner shredded the BC defense for 214 yards and a touchdown on 36 carries.

Off ensively, the Eagles were something of a one-man show as quarterback Tyler Murphy rushed for 92 yards and also threw for 134 yards. He was, however, picked off twice.

USC made headlines this week as athletic director Pat Haden was fi ned $25,000 by

the Pac-12 for coming down from the press box to the sidelines to argue with of-fi cials after questionable calls on the fi eld. Head coach Steve Sarkisian was also repri-manded for the incident, in which Haden received a text message from a USC staff er that his presence was needed on the sidelines.

The Trojans ultimately got the outcome they wanted to last Saturday, beating No. 13 Stanford 13-10.

The Eagles will need to keep a close eye on USC back Javorius Allen, who scam-pered for a career-high 154 yards last week. MATT BURKE

Familiar face

Cassel and Brady

remain close

Sunday in Minnesota, the Patriots will face Matt Cassel for the fi rst time since he led them to an

11-5 record in 2008. Cassel got the starting nod for

New England after starter Tom Brady went down

with a season-ending ACL injury in Week 1 of that season. Cassel

remains grateful for the opportunity in Foxboro

six years ago and remains close with Brady. “I got to learn from one of the best

to ever play the game, and he was such a mentor

to me,” Cassel said of Brady. “He’s a great friend ... We keep in contact all

the time. Even in the off season, we golf and work out sometimes and do those things.

We still talk once every few weeks.”
