Q: What's a 23-year-old from Ada, doing at the Super Bowl? A: We know

The opening line from the Denver Post feature reads: "It would take a major catastrophe for Broncos rookie Zac Dysert to play in Super Bowl XLVIII against the Seattle Seahawks next Sunday."

You know it, and he knows it.

But that doesn't mean the 23-year-old quarterback from Miami (Ohio) hasn't enjoyed every moment of his ride to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Sure, he didn't take a snap during the regular season, and even his preseason playing time was sparse — 12-of-23 passing for 179 yards and one touchdown.

The feature on Ada's own Dysert reveals some of his own thoughts about playing with Denver and going to the Super Bowl.

Due to blowing and drifting snow in Northwest Ohio, the Ohio Northern swimming and diving teams, the indoor track and field teams and the men's and women's basketball teams have been forced into making schedule changes.

The men's and women's indoor track and field teams will not be travelling to the Defiance Invitational on Saturday.

The men's and women's swimming and diving teams will now hold a virtual meet with Case Western Reserve. Each team will swim the meet as scheduled in their own pool, exchange times electronically and score the meet as usual.

But Pittsburgh took the ball at their own 28 yard line and moved it to the BGSU 21 yard line.
