ST. LOUIS (AP) - The St. Louis Rams promise a more unpredictable offense under new coordinator Josh McDaniels. The first glimpse comes Saturday night in the preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts. Running back Steven Jackson noted all teams are playing catch-up after the lockout, but felt good about the team's progress in the new system. Jackson often had to slog for yards in last year's conservative attack that eased quarterback Sam Bradford into the NFL, but there's anticipation he'll be more of a |

If neither Ohio State nor Michigan is playing at Lucas Oil Stadium that day, no one will be particularly surprised. The teams that have combined to win 77 Big Ten titles aren't even favored to win their divisions. Things really have changed in the Big Ten, haven't they? In Columbus, Ohio, the Buckeyes are coming off a sixth straight season in which they at least tied for first in |

| Super XXXI MVP honors on the strength of a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. The Chicago Bears' Devin Hester provided the most exciting beginning to any Super Bowl in history when he brought the opening kickoff back for a touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts .

That importance isn't lost on LeGrand, who respectfully opposes Schiano's stance. "Kicko |
