      On
      the
      women
      end
      of
      things,
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      heroically
      battled
      back
     
     
      from
      an
      early
      first
      half
      deficit
      to
     
     
      snag
      a
      six
      point
      lead
      with
      two
      min-
     
     
      utes
      to
      go
      in
      the
      first.
      Lindsay
     
     
      Coade
      led
      the
      Panthers
      with
      a
      fan-
     
     
      tastic
      14
      points
      in
      the
      first
      half.
     
     
      The
      momentum,
      however,
      was
     
     
      short-lived,
      and
      Acadia
      responded
     
     
      by
      sinking
      seven
      more
      points
     
     
      before
      the
      half
      was
      over,
      to
      gain
     
     
      the
      lead
      at
      the
      midway
      point.
     
    

    
     
      It
      was
      26-25
      at
      the
      half.
      Obviously,
     
     
      this
      one
      was
      going
      to
      be
      close.

      Over
      the
      past
      couple
      of
      weeks
      Ben
     
     
      Roethlisberger
      has
      become
      more
     
     
      of
      a

      who
      in

      "who's
     
     
      that"
      he
      started
      out

      He
      is
      the
     
     
      22-year-old
      rookie
      phenom,

      feated
      in

      who
      is
      the
      starting
     
     
      quarterback
      for
      the
      Pittsburgh
     
     
      Steelers.
      Just
      last
      week
      he
      led
      the
     
     
      Steelers
      to
      a
      victory
      that
      handed

      So,
      the
      question
      remains:
      is
      he
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      real
      deal
      or
      will
      he
      quickly
      fade
     
     
      away
      like
      so
      many
      others
      (read:
     
     
      Drew
      Bledsoe)?
      He
      could
      answer
     
     
      that
      question
      this
      Sunday,
     
     
      November
      7
      when
      the
      Steelers
      are
     
     
      at
      home
      against
      T.O.'s
      mouth
      and
     
     
      the
      undefeated
      Philidelphia
      Eagles.
     
     
      If
      he
      could
      pull
      off
      two
      wins
     
     
      against
      two
      undefeated

      the

      yellow
      just
      may
     
     
      have
      something
      in
      who
      the
      media
     
     
      have
      dubbed
      "Big
      Ben."
     
    

    
     
      He
      is
      currently
      the
      fifth
      ranked
     
     
      quarterback
      in
      the
      NFL,
      actually
     
     
      ranked

      Chad
      Pennington.
      Some
      would
     
     
      say
      he
      started
      his
      career
      a
      lot
      like
     
     
      Tom
      Brady:
      he
      is
      the
      successor
      to
     
     
      the
      great
      Cordell
      Stewart
      like

      the

      Likely,
      how
      he
      got
      his
     
     
      nickname
      "Big
      Ben"
      was
      probably
     
     
      not
      so
      much
      attributable
      to
      his
     
     
      spectacular
      play,
      but
      because
      it
      is
     
     
      easier
      to
      refer
      to
      him

      to
      type
     
     
      and
      double
      check
      it.
      But
      it
      is
      a
      fun.
