NASHVILLE -- Matt Hasselbeck, the veteran quarterback signed to win now and show Jake Locker how its done in the NFL, might have made his best move after their debut in Tennessee. . Hasselbeck gave new coach Mike Munchak the game ball Saturday night after the Titans beat the Minnesota Vikings 14-3 in the pre-season opener for both teams. "It was just the right thing to do, and someone needed to do it, so I did it," Hasselbeck said. "Munch is a guy thats basically been with this organization his whole career as a player and a coach. Hes just one of the guys. Theres a ton of respect for him there ... but I think it was something ceremonial, kind of a historic moment in a way for him. I know its a pre-season game. ... but this was a big night for him, probably a dream come true." The Titans are billing this as the start of a new legacy under Munchak, the Hall of Fame offensive lineman and former assistant coach promoted in February after Tennessee parted with Jeff Fisher. A video was played during a timeout on the opening series to help make fans more familiar with Munchak. "We all know its a pre-season game but no matter what you do, you win it," Munchak said. Hasselbeck got the start, and Locker threw a 45-yard touchdown pass. Hasselbeck looked sharp in his lone series. He completed 5 of 6 passes for 55 yards in an opening drive marred by a botched handoff that created a 30-yard loss. Hasselbeck took the blame for colliding with fullback Ahmard Hall. Locker, the eighth pick overall from Washington, had his moment, too. He dropped the ball off the snap before picking it up, rolling to his right and throwing a perfect pass to Yamon Figurs for a TD. Locker played one series into the third quarter, and he was 7 of 10 for 89 yards with a passer rating of 130.8. The rookie said his instinct was to pick up the ball and either run or throw when he saw Figurs waving his arms wide open. "Crazy way to have your first touchdown pass, but again, that will be a great story for him to tell," Hasselbeck said of Lockers TD. And the Titans took a step toward the disciplined approach Munchak wants. They looked much more crisp despite those bobbled snaps with the offence outgaining the Vikings 111-33 in the first quarter. The defence forced two turnovers in the second quarter and had four sacks overall. This marked Donovan McNabbs first start for Minnesota. He probably should have quit after his first series when he completed four of his first five passes before having the sixth knocked down by rookie linebacker Akeem Ayers. McNabb came back for a second series before leaving the game 6 of 11 for 40 yards. "It felt good," McNabb said. "I thought we had a great flow with the offence. Our timing and chemistry was where we needed to be. I thought as an offensive unit we were in and out of the huddle in enough time to make checks if we had to. Thats where you want to start in the preseason." Vikings coach Leslie Frazier gave Adrian Peterson only one carry for three yards before pulling his star running back, and he scratched starters defensive end Jared Allen, cornerback Cedric Griffin and tight end Visante Shiancoe. "We wanted to be able to take a look at some of the other guys, and this gave us a good opportunity to do that," Frazier said. "Now, next week theyll play more, but this was an opportunity for us to look at some young guys and just try to determine if they can help us or not." The Vikings also have a highly drafted rookie quarterback in Christian Ponder. Frazier put Joe Webb into the game once McNabb left, and Webb started the third quarter and drove the Vikings to a 37-yard field goal by Ryan Longwell. Webb had five carries for 33 yards, and was 4 of 8 on passes for 45 yards and an interception. Frazier said Ponder will get his chance with the second-team at Seattle. Ponder finally got on the field with 7:55 left, and the 12th pick overall was sacked three times -- the last by former Florida State teammate Myron Rolle. Hasselbeck completed his first four passes for 47 yards and had Tennessee down to the Minnesota 16 before the bobbled snap to Javon Ringer bounced away. Ringer started in place of holdout Chris Johnson. The play turned into a 30-yard loss before Ringer covered the ball. The Titans also bogged down at the Vikings 21 on Lockers opening drive before Rob Bironas missed a 38-yard field goal wide left. Rookie Jurrell Casey ripped the ball away from Vikings running back Lorenzo Booker and recovered it in the second quarter to set up Lockers TD pass a play after the turnover. Safety Jordan Babineaux, another free agent signee away from Seattle, intercepted Webbs pass on the Vikings next offensive play. Jamie Harper, a fourth-round pick out of Clemson, capped a four-play drive with a two-yard TD run to put Tennessee up 14-0 at halftime. Notes: Titans DE Derrick Morgan had a sack.

Open forced the tournament to change its schedule, pushing the mens final to Monday for the fourth consecutive year. CONCORD, N.C. -- Brad Keselowski won the NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday, leading the final 67 laps to give Penske Racing a winning start on auto racings biggest weekend. Keselowski raced to his first Nationwide victory of the year. Hell try to double up in Sprint Cups longest race of the season, the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night. In between comes the Indy 500, a race that owner Roger Penskes cars have won 15 times. Penske driver Ryan Briscoe will start from the pole there Sunday. Penske Racing has "three shots at winning races this weekend," Keselowski said. "Were one for one." Dont bet against more Penske wins this weekend. The teams other drivers in Indianapolis, Will Power and Helio Castroneves, start fifth and sixth. Power has won three times already this year, and Castroneves is a three-time Indy winner. "Im happy for" Penske, Keselowski said. "One way or another, the checkered flag at Penske Racing is going to fly this week. Keselowski led the way as Sprint Cup drivers took the top four spots. Denny Hamlin was second, followed by Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick, last years Coca-Cola 600 champion. Nationwide points leader Ricky Stenhouse Jr. had driveshaft problems and finished 26th. Danica Patrick started the race in third, yet slid to 13th. Shell also race Sunday night after spending her past seven Memorial Day weekends driving in Indianapolis. For a while, it looked as if Keselowski might relive the last-lap, out-of-gas experience that cost Dale Earnhardt Jr. a Coca-Cola 600 victory a year ago. Keselowski gassed up with 73 laps left, then chose to stay out during a caution period a few laps later instead of pitting like most of the field. That began a fuel mileage countdown that had Keselowski and his team guessing if they had enough to make it to the end, unlike Earnhardt, who went dry entering the final turn and was passed for the victory. "Its going to be either really good or really bad," Keselowsski said on his radio down the stretch. Jerseys NFL Wholesale. Turns out, it was perfect as Keselowski picked up his first Nationwide Series race of the year. It was Keselowskis 18th win in the series and his second at Charlotte. Was Keselowski worried those final laps? No, he said, because he was confident in the call made by crew chief Jeremy Bullins. "If Jeremy says were going to make, then I believe it," the driver said, smiling. Keselowski broke free on the last restart 46 laps from the end. He was able to save so much fuel after building a large lead, Keselowski did a flashy victory burnout to celebrate. Busch was asked if he couldve lasted so long on a tank of gas. "No, theres no way our stuff wouldve done that," he said. Stenhouse had hoped to capitalize on a series win last Sunday in Iowa and extend his points lead. Those hopes ended when part of the cars driveshaft popped out from behind and forced him to the garage for a long stretch of the race. When he returned to action, he was 20 laps down and merely hoping to last until the end. "Right there under caution before I pulled in it felt like something broke. I started picking up a vibration and came down pit road and didnt see anything, but then I went back out and it broke. It was just a tough day for us." Elliott Sadler, second in points, finished fifth and moved 13 points behind Stenhouse in the standings. Patrick took third in morning qualifying and thought she was in good position for a strong finish. But she quickly fell backward on the hot, slippery track. Still, Patrick was running at the end and posted her third top 15-finish in her past four Nationwide events. The wildest day most likely belonged to X-Games standout Travis Pastrana. He spun out in qualifying, then spun twice more during the race. Pastrana apologized to his crew after the last slide, explaining, "I have no idea whats going on." Pastrana came home 24th, his second-best showing in four Nationwide Series races. ' ' '
