Now they must get Big Ben prepared for the remaining 12 games. Roethlisberger will have two weeks of practice to get his game together in preparation for his first game of the season against the 1-3 Cleveland Browns who upset the Cincinnati Bengals last week, 23-20. Even though they’ve lost three games, the once lowly Browns have played everyone tough and may be ready to finally be a force in the AFC.

Both Steel Valley and Seton-La Salle generate a lot of attention because they have produced quarterback after quarterback with gaudy career passing statistics.

Carrick killed themselves with crucial mistakes as they came a touchdown short of beating Schenley, 14-7, on Saturday at Cupples Stadium.

“We’re just undisciplined,” Carrick’s coach Jeff McCafferty said. “We care too much about ourselves and not enough about this team. We did some things well but not enough, obviously.”

Kevaun Frenzley scored first for Schenley on a 7-yard run with 3:14 in the first quarter. Then, Schenley jumped out to a 14-0 halftime lead by way of a 17-yard touchdown catch by Malik St. Victor.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has probably never had to swallow any loss harder than the 17-14 loss against the Baltimore Ravens Sunday since he has been sitting in the head coaches “chair” over at the Steelers “court.” Okay, I hear your tongues wagging so I will present to you enough proof in order to stop the ranting and raving. When Tomlin, a young and brash defensive coordinator, was hired away from the Minnesota Vikings, I was under the distinct impression he would come riding into Pittsburgh on the back of “Steely McBeam” wearing a Viking hat turned sideways and transform the Steelers into his team.
