INDIANAPOLIS -- Just call him Patient Peyton.

Defense looks top-notch

By Alyson Brodsy and Ryan Corazza · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 12:12 a.m.

Both IU men's basketball exhibition games are in the books. Both were blowouts. Both featured a work-in-progress D.J. White and a surprisingly solid Armon Bassett, the backup/counterpart to Earl Calloway. Both displayed the sharp-shooting of junior college transfer Lance Stemler. But what stood out above all else at this early-season juncture was the stifling, hard-nosed defense. Just ask University of Indianapolis coach Todd Sturgeon.

"I'm not making excuses, but I broke on a ball and didn't make the play so (the receiver) caught the ball," Porter explained afterward. "Just a little fine that we have."

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts are aware of the trap. At 8-0, on the verge of making NFL history and a heavy favorite at home against Buffalo, the NFL's last unbeaten team didn't need a reminder about keeping focus this week. The Chicago Bears taught the Colts that lesson last week.
