INDIANAPOLIS -- Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin guessed wrong.He expected Andrew Luck to overcome a head injury and suit up for Thursday nights primetime game.Instead, the Indianapolis Colts ruled out their star quarterback Wednesday after he missed practice for the third straight day.The likely replacement will be the rarely used Scott Tolzien, whom Tomlin doesnt have much tape on because Tolzien hasnt played since the preseason.But Tomlin didnt win two Super Bowls without successfully devising contingency plans -- and hell have to rely on that experience to win at Indy.I just think its prudent for us to prepare for Andrew and then react to whatever may transpire thats different than that, as opposed to the other way around, Tomlin told Indianapolis reporters during a conference call before Wednesdays injury report was released.Indy (5-5), of course, did a good job keeping Lucks status shrouded because thats how NFL teams operate.And Pagano didnt drop any hints about his backup plan, either, when he told reporters Tuesday simply that the Colts had options.The most likely scenario, of course, is that Pagano sticks with Tolzien.Otherwise, Pagano could go with Stephen Morris, a practice squad player who was promoted to the active roster Wednesday, some combination of both or use running back Frank Gore in the wildcat formation as the Colts have done sporadically the past two games.None of those options, of course, would be as promising as having Luck.Theres no choice now, and Pagano cant afford to fret with a critical game looming between two playoff contenders.Its just football. Its life in the National Football League, he said. Theyre not cancelling the game and so well put our best foot forward.Complicating matters is that Pittsburgh (5-5) has posed major problems for the Colts.Theyve won the past three in the series, the past two by a combined score of 96-44.Losing Luck, who entered the concussion protocol Sunday night after complaining of concussion-like symptoms following a victory over Tennessee, wont help.But with only four days between Sunday nights diagnosis and this weeks game there wasnt enough time to get him cleared by doctors and the Colts finally made the decision to hold him out.You can rub dirt on a lot of things, but you cant rub dirt on the brain so you have to be smart with that, said Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.Here are some other things to watch Thursday:BLING BLINGFour days after honoring the Colts 2006 Super Bowl team, they will have another halftime celebration when former coach Tony Dungy and former receiver Marvin Harrison receive their Hall of Fame rings. Both were inducted in August, were part of the title team and could not attend Sundays ceremony.BROWN & HILTONAntonio Brown and T.Y. Hilton grew up together as youth league teammates and are still friendly even when theyre on opposing sidelines.This week, theyll be chasing the same goals. Brown needs 93 yards to join Hines Ward as the second Steelers receiver in history to record four straight 1,000-yard seasons.Hilton needs 112 yards for his fourth straight 1,000-yard season, something only two other Colts receivers (Harrison and Reggie Wayne) have done.LEARNING ON THE JOB: The Steelers have three rookies starting on defense: safety Sean Davis, cornerback Artie Burns and nose tackle Javon Hargrave.Theyre growing up quickly. Burns has two interceptions in Pittsburghs past three games, Davis has rapidly gone from lost backup to first string and Hargrave recovered a fumble for a TD in Cleveland.The Steelers will need their fresh legs over the final six games to make the playoffs for a third straight season, something theyve never done under Mike Tomlin.I just hope they keep coming along the way they have, defensive coordinator Keith Butler said.SOMETHING HAS TO GIVEWhile Pittsburgh has lost four straight Thanksgiving Day games since 1983, the Colts have won the only two such games theyve been involved in since the move to Indy.The Colts also have won 10 straight Thursday night games since 2007. But they havent beaten Pittsburgh since 2008.LEAN ON LEVEON: Oh the benefits of being 24. Steelers running back LeVeon Bell is feeling good just a few days removed from a heavy workload against the Browns.Bell touched the ball 32 times while piling up 201 total yards and Pittsburghs only offensive TD in Cleveland. The more carries Bell gets, the better things seem to go for the Steelers.Pittsburgh is 8-2 when he runs for 100 yards.He is a young guy that wants it all the time, offensive coordinator Todd Haley said. I havent seen him ever dragging around after a big game, which is what he had.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLTony Oliva Twins Jersey .

It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. Morehead State?basketball coach Sean Woods allegedly head-butted one of his players last year, the father of the athlete told ESPN on Wednesday.Edson Maitland, the father of Malik Maitland, said his son told him Woods head-butted him late last season but quickly apologized, asked for forgiveness and promised it would never happen again. He said his son told him he reported the incident to the teams trainer.Edson Maitland is now asking Morehead State to terminate Woods, who is suspended indefinitely with pay after he was charged Tuesday with misdemeanor battery for allegedly assaulting Malik Maitland and Soufiyane Diakite last month.We are very, extremely disappointed in coach Woods, Edson Maitland told ESPN, as he read from a prepared statement on behalf of his family. He came into our home and violated our trust, the trust that we put in him as a coach. Not only did we ask him to coach our son, but to treat our son just as he would treat his own son. He was reckless with willful intention in his action toward my son, inflicting such a pain on him.This is not the first time he violated our trust because last year, during the season, he head-butted my son and turned around and asked him to forgive him, and he apologized, and my son accepted his apology, and [he] said he would never do it again. And as for the school, Im still waiting for a response from them and to take corrective action and appropriate action without any form of a delay, saying theyre still investigating. And as for all the assistants that are there working, Im appalled, because they are an extension of Coach Woods, and I think the NCAA should step in and take appropriate action.Woods was charged with misdemeanor battery, acccording to court documents obtained by WTVQ, after he allegedly backhanded Malik Maitland in his chest at halftime of a Nov.dddddddddddd 19 matchup at Evansville and shoved Diakite during and after the game. Edson Maitland said his son told him about the alleged assault after the matchup.Woods, who played with The Unforgettables Kentucky squad that reached the Elite Eight in 1992, was suspended three days after the game at Evansville.Evansville Sgt. Patrick McDonald said misdemeanor battery in Indiana is defined as any alleged assault that results in a complaint of pain from an alleged victim. It does not mean anyone was injured, he said.In 2012, in his first season with Moreheads program, Woods was suspended for shoving former player Devon Atkinson during a game.Edson Maitland said he wants Woods terminated and legally punished for his actions.I not only want him gone, I want him prosecuted to the full length of the law, he said.When asked for a response to Tuesdays charges, Morehead State spokesman Nick Evans referred to the statement the school distributed after it suspended Woods last month.Resulting from complaints received, the institution has begun an investigation involving the head basketball coach, athletic director Brian Hutchinson said in the statement. While we continue through the formal process, we believe it is prudent to suspend the coach until the investigation is finished.On Wednesday morning, Morehead State said in a statement that the administrative review process is nearing completion. Once completed, further comment may be made at that time. ' ' '
