Boilermakers wide receiver T.J. Sheffield is listed at the top wideout spot going into Saturday’s matchup against UConn. He got the top spot over true freshman Deion Burks after missing the season-opener against Oregon State due to an undisclosed reason.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET and it’ll be televised by CBS Sports Network.
