Randle El in spotlight again

With trick-play touchdown pass, former Hoosier had highlight of Super Bowl

• On Sunday night, Pittsburgh's Antwaan Randle El became the first receiver to throw a touchdown pass in a Super Bowl game.\n• But it wasn't too long ago that he was throwing into the end zone for a Chicago area high school.\n• In the mid '90s, Randle El attended Thornton Township High School in Harvey, Ill.\n• After high school, Randle El played quarterback at IU. That background came in handy Sunday night.\n• Randle El hit Hines Ward for a 43-yard score in the fourth quarter, helping the Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks 21-10.\n• Randle El took a handoff on a reverse from Willie Parker and ran to his right.\n• Ward then ran past the safeties and was wide open for Randle El's pass, which immediately went down as one of the most notable trick plays in Super Bowl history.
