• Scores • Schedule

Ravens' air attack a token threat
Baltimore has the NFL's most unbalanced offense - it leads the league in rushing but ranks last in passing - entering Sunday's game against the Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium.

Buckeyes view Iowa as must win
COLUMBUS - There'll be a chill in the air today, and a whiff of desperation. Eighth-ranked Ohio State and ninth-ranked Iowa both have a Big Ten loss, and the loser of the matchup of the Big Ten's 2002 co-champions can bag hopes of a repeat title.

Yanks take nothing for granted
Joe Torre was a big Marlins fan on the eve of today's World Series opener, saying: "They got through the tough part. They beat two dynamite teams to get here. We can't assume we have any edge."

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Roethlisberger will test Ball State's DBs today
Four weeks ago, Miami coach Terry Hoeppner was wondering how his RedHawks would react to playing their first home game after opening with four on the road. He joked about putting his players on buses to simulate a road trip.

UK taking Ohio U seriously
LEXINGTON - The list of marquee victims of Mid-American Conference football teams this season is long, and Kentucky coach Rich Brooks doesn't want his team to join a group that includes Maryland, Alabama, Kansas State, Purdue and Iowa State.

More legal affairs for OSU vs. Clarett
COLUMBUS - Ohio State asked federal and state courts Friday to dismiss motions filed against the university by suspended tailback Maurice Clarett.

BENGALS
Dillon upgraded to probable
The Bengals upgraded the condition of tailback Corey Dillon to probable for Sunday's game against Baltimore.

Bengals' Keys to Victory
Hidden somewhat behind the larger-than-life personality of their defense and record-setting running game, the Baltimore Ravens will bring one of the NFL's top special teams groups into Sunday's game against the Bengals.

The Isolation Booth
If Bengals tailback Corey Dillon is limited or held out because of his groin strain, the personal battle between Chad Johnson and Chris McAlister will become more important Sunday.

WORLD SERIES
McKeon: An old man and his team

Scores, how poll teams fared

KENTUCKY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Dixie Heights 35, Boone Co. 10
In a game between two of the top Class 4A football teams in Northern Kentucky, the hare was just too much for the tortoise.

Conner 50, Ryle 0
Conner made a case to keep its No. 1 ranking with a stout defense and a secret weapon - the kickoff coverage unit.

Other Kentucky Games
Holy Cross scored 28 unanswered points in the fourth quarter en route to a 49-20 victory over Ludlow.

SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT (Index of last Sunday's sports stories)

As good as it gets
Columnist Paul Daugherty writes: I have to find a place for the picture. There is so much else to do: the training rides, the proper nutrition, Advil for a barking knee. What you learn at age 46, when you are attempting to ride a bicycle for 108 miles, is that you aren't 26. Pain is a much bigger part of your life.

Palmer's time remains a mystery
Jon Kitna knows the day will come when Carson Palmer replaces him as the Bengals' starting quarterback.
