Indianapolis hoping to turn Bills preseason opener into learning experience for Manuel

INDIANAPOLIS – Andrew Luck knows what it could be like for EJ Manuel on Sunday.

A learning experience.

The first quarterbacks taken in the last two drafts will lead Indianapolis and Buffalo into their preseason opener.

Manuel officially got the starting nod Friday night over the injured Kevin Kolb. Bills coach Doug Marrone has not said how much the rookie will play.

A year ago, Luck was the face of a major offseason overhaul. Now, it's Manuel's turn and the two guys who started attending football camps together in high school will now have the opportunity to trade notes in the NFL.
