INDIANAPOLIS -- All Andrew Luck wanted to do was stay composed on the field. Cheap Jerseys From China . He could have fooled anyone. While Luck acknowledged that he was still trying to get acclimated to a new playbook, a new locker room and new teammates, those who watched closely on Friday said the new Indianapolis Colts quarterback looked a whole lot like the one they remembered at Stanford. "Hes the same Andrew, as brilliant as ever," said tight end Coby Fleener, Indys second-round pick and one of Lucks college teammates. "He went out and was calling plays that were probably 30 words long off the top of his head. Hes amazing." Luck wore a red No. 12 jersey, just like he did in college, and of course it helped to have some familiar faces on the practice field -- notably Fleener and another ex-Stanford teammate, receiver Griff Whalen But the No. 1 overall pick in last weeks NFL draft acknowledged Fridays debut did not feel the same. He was anxious and nervous. Television and still cameras were scattered around the back side of the team complex, and some of the teams front-office personnel even came outside to catch their first real glimpse of the new franchise quarterback. Most was impressed with what they saw in the first workout of this weekends rookie mini-camp. "Hes unflappable, mature beyond his years," new coach Chuck Pagano said. "You listen to some of those play calls and you know why hes an architectural engineer. Hes going to have a great career in that in about 15 years." First, hell get a crash course in NFL play-calling, which will be a challenge for someone widely regarded as the most polished college quarterback since Peyton Manning. Pagano said hes hoping the 38 new players learn some simple things this weekend: What it takes to be a professional, where to line up, play calls and the tempo of practice. For Luck, though, the expectations are greater. Hes being asked to succeed Manning, who turned the Colts from an NFL afterthought into a perennial Super Bowl contender over 14 seasons. That means anything and everything the Colts new franchise quarterback does will be heavily scrutinized, and Luck is doing everything he can to make it a smooth transition. "I like being thrown into the fire a little bit," Luck said when asked about the immersion into the playbook. "Its like Coach Clyde (Christensen) says, throw some mud at the wall and see what sticks. But I think no matter what, youre going to struggle out there at first." Christensen, the quarterbacks coach, and offensive co-ordinator Bruce Arians spent some time Friday giving Luck private lessons, but the workout was hardly a struggle. Luck handed off on each of his first three snaps, and it took nearly 20 minutes for one of Lucks throws to hit the ground. Of course, this is a day Luck has been preparing for his entire life. His father, Oliver, played four seasons in the NFL with the Houston Oilers in the 1980s. The younger Luck, one of the nations top-ranked prep quarterbacks, left his home state of Texas to play for rebuilding Stanford so he could be tutored by former NFL quarterback Jim Harbaugh. Three years into his college career, Luck was already being billed as the No. 1 prospect in the 2011 draft class and likely would have gone ahead of last years offensive rookie of the year Cam Newton had he not returned to school. Instead, he went back, finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting for the second straight year and was the ranked No. 1 player in the draft again. Now he must prove he can live up to the billing in a city still reeling from the March release of Manning. "I didnt get too melodramatic out there, it wasnt too monumental in my mind," Luck said of his first workout. He might have been the only one. "Its monumental," Pagano said. "Weve talked about it before and they (Colts fans) saw the same thing happen 13 years ago. We feel great about him, hes a natural leader." For Luck, its a huge weekend. After flying back to Palo Alto, Calif., on Sunday, he wont return to the Colts complex until June 8, the day after he finishes classes in Palo Alto, Calif. League rules prohibit rookies from working out with their new teams until classes end with the exception of one three-day mini-camp. That doesnt mean Luck wont be working on something. The Colts have already contacted with Lucks agent, Will Wilson, to negotiate a contract. Team owner Jim Irsay said last weekend he expected the process to go quickly and that Lucks deal would be almost identical to the four-year, $22 million deal Newton signed last summer. Luck is also trying to take care of things on the field. Hes hoping to work out with receiver Austin Collie in California between now and June and has offered to travel to Miami so he can work with perennial Pro Bowler Reggie Wayne and rookie receiver T.Y. Hilton, a third-round pick. If Luck can make all those plans work, he thinks hell be a lot more comfortable when he returns to Indy next month. "Im going to try and digest all of the information first, so I can build up a little credibility," Luck said. Notes: The Colts had kicker Austin Anderson in for a tryout Friday. Anderson is the son of Gary Anderson, the NFLs second-leading scorer with 2,434 points. Pagano said the Colts would consider signing Anderson as a free agent for training camp. ... The Colts are expected to finalize their training camp plans soon. Irsay has said the Colts will likely return to Anderson, Ind., about 25 miles north of Indy. The Colts have practiced at Anderson each of the past two summers. Cheap Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys . The Japan striker scored in the 89th minute, 10 minutes after coming on as a substitute. He controlled a long crossfield pass with his right foot, cut infield and unleashed an unstoppable 18-meter (yard) shot with his left. Jerseys From China . Official word came Thursday that for the second time, the team will host it. Less than 10 months after the city served as the site of the annual Winter Classic outdoor game, commissioner Gary Bettman was in town to confirm the Consol Energy Center will host the next draft in June. http://www.chinajerseyscheap.us.com/nhl-jerseys_to...fs-jers ey/ . -- The Sharks defended their coach they best way they knew how -- with a dramatic comeback victory. wholesale nfl jerseys . Tsonga fired 11 aces and didnt drop a service game in the match to improve his record to four wins in five tour-level matches against his French compatriot. After Tsonga got the decisive break of the first set in the second game, the second set went with serve until the tiebreaker. Cheap Detroit Tigers Jerseys . The Galaxy won all four meetings between the two sides last season, and a wonderful strike from 25 yards off the foot of Juninho continued that run of dominance. The best chance in a scoreless first half came from Seattles Erik Friburg, who shot just wide of the right post from outside the penalty area with Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Saunders off his line. MADISON, Wis. -- Leave it to Bo Ryan to find fault with No. 4 Wisconsins biggest margin of victory of the young season or tying its best start in 70 years. But his players couldnt agree more. Though Ben Brust scored 18 points and Frank Kaminsky added 16 as the Badgers remained undefeated with a 78-52 victory over in-state rival Milwaukee on Wednesday night, Ryan and his players werent exactly thrilled with the effort. Despite its reputation as a disciplined basketball team, the Badgers committed three straight turnovers after missing their first shot. Other than Brust, they struggled offensively to open the game. And they were t 1 of 13 from behind the 3-point line in the second half. Still, that might seem a little nitpicky to some considering all the other things they did well. "Were going to see a lot in clips tomorrow," Brust promised. "Theres definitely some things that we missed, the bad start. Theres just spots throughout the whole game where we could have played a better 40 minutes altogether, but a good win. You cant be mad about that." This is rarefied air for the Badgers. Going 11-0 to open the season matches their record to open 1993-94, the programs best start since 1943. They have also cracked The Associated Press top 5 for only the second season with the 2006-07 squad reaching No. 1. Not that Ryan is taking any time to really bask in that. "Its like in class," Ryan said. "You do your assignments and then you get credit for them, and if you do them well, you get stars on your paper and a pat on the back. But if you stop doing them well, then everything else just kind of goes the other way." Though Wisconsin was far from perfect, it used one run to blow the game open and then capitalized on repeated mistakes by Milwaukee (9-3) to make sure the game stayed out of reach. Early on, only Brust was connecting. But he hit his first six shots, including four from behind the 3-point line. Cheap Barcelona Jersey. That was good enough to help the Badgers open a 22-13 lead more than midway through the first half even as his teammates opened 3 of 11. Then the rest of the team found its stroke. Wisconsin reeled off a 23-7 run that featured five 3-pointers by five Badgers to blow the game open, and the Badgers finished the half 9 for 13 from deep. Sam Dekker and Traevon Jackson scored 12 points apiece for Wisconsin. Milwaukee, meanwhile, couldnt get out of the hole it dug in the first half, when the Panthers turned the ball over 11 times and the Badgers turned them into 18 points. Things got marginally better in the second half, when the Panthers committed another eight turnovers that resulted in 10 more Wisconsin points. The 19 turnovers tied their season high. Milwaukee coach Rob Jeter, a former assistant to Ryan, said the Panthers were trying to make "everything happen in one pass, one play." "We just didnt have the opportunities that we needed to to give yourself a chance against a Wisconsin team," Jeter said. "Turn the ball that many times, give up 28 points, thats hard to overcome when they are shooting the ball the way they did in the first half." Kyle Kelm scored 17 points to lead the Panthers, while Matt Tiby added 11. Tiby came in as the Panthers leading scorer, and though he finished in double figures, the Badgers played him physically all game. Kaminsky blocked Tibys first shot and the Milwaukee forward was 3 for 10 and had six turnovers. Milwaukee cut the Badgers lead to 16 points once in the second half, but that was snuffed out by a quick 10-0 Wisconsin run. "We knew hes a worker," Ryan said of Tiby. "We know he brings a lot of fire to the court. Hes tenacious. So we just tried to match that and then some, just tried to make his looks tougher." ' ' '
