It's Senior Bowl week in Mobile, Ala., and it's time for a lot of the top NFL prospects from the Big East to make their cases.

Here again are the Big East players on the rosters for Saturday's game:

North

Dorin Dickerson, TE, Pittsburgh

Mardy Gilyard, WR, Cincinnati

Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers

Tony Pike, QB, Cincinnati

Mike Windt, LS, Cincinnati

South

Nate Allen, S, South Florida

Jarrett Brown, QB, West Virginia

Selvish Capers, OL, West Virginia

Jerome Murphy, CB, South Florida

George Selvie, DE, South Florida

It could be like old times with Selvie trying to sack Pike or Gilyard trying to beat Murphy on a route during the game.

The two quarterbacks could have the most to prove during this week's practices and the game. Pike is an intriguing prospect because of his size (6-foot-6) and arm strength, but there are questions about his durability and his ability to play under center. Brown has unlimited potential because of his physical gifts and could wow scouts with his arm and mobility. But he started only one year and still has a lot to learn about the position.

Others who could really help themselves include Gilyard, who was one of the most productive receivers/return men in Big East history, and Selvie, whose numbers fell off after his huge sophomore campaign. If McCourty plays like he did this year at Rutgers, I think he could have a big week. And Allen has some freakish physical tools.
