Dixon to start at QB for Steelers on Sunday

Former University of Oregon quarterback Dennis Dixon will get the starting nod against the Baltimore Ravens Sunday for the Pittsburgh Steelers, replacing injured veterans Ben Rothlisberger (concussion) and Charlie Batch (wrist).

Dixon, a second-year Oakland native, has one career pass to his name. Dixon threw for 2,136 yards and ran for 583 while adding a total of 29 touchdowns in his injury-shortened senior season at Oregon.
