Court of Appeals discusses bans in Indiana, Wisconsin | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO (AP) — Federal appeals judges bristled Tuesday at arguments defending gay marriage bans in Indiana and Wisconsin, with one Republican appointee comparing them to nowdefunct laws that once outlawed weddings between blacks and whites.

Richard Posner, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1981, hit the backers of the ban the hardest. He balked when Wisconsin Assistant Attorney General Timothy Samuelson repeatedly pointed to “tradition” as the underlying justification for barring gay marriage. “It was tradition to not allow blacks and whites to marry — a tradition that got swept away,” the 75-year-old judge said. Prohibition of same sex marriage, Posner said, derives from “a tradition of hate ... and savage discrimination” of homosexuals.

Run defense to be tested in season opener vs. Colgate Motion offense will keep pressure on new defensive linemen, coaching staff DAVID POLASKI CHIEF REPORTER | @DavidPolaski
Ball State’s new look defensive line won’t be eased into the season by any means. Saturday’s opponent, Colgate, is a runheavy team that will test Ball State’s Michael Ayers, Darnell Smith, Keenan Noel and Nick Miles for all four quarters. Miles is the only returning starter from last season’s defensive line. “We’ll have to play fast and be relentless,” Miles said. “If you get caught up looking at motion and staring into Colgate’s backfield, that’s when you can really get gassed and we’re trying to prevent that.” Last season, Colgate was ranked first in the Patriot League with 191.4 rushing

yards per game, but lost dual-threat quarterback Gavin McCarney, who rushed for over 600 yards himself. The Raider offense is predicated around using motion to distract and confuse defenders, and to form unbalanced lines to create mismatches. Once the ball is snapped, it can be handed off to a multitude of weapons, or the quarterback can keep it and look for space to run. Passing the football is less common. In 2013, Colgate attempted just 23 passes per game, the fewest in the Patriot League and significantly less than every team except Bucknell. “They’ll get your eyes messed up real quick,” linebacker Ben Ingle said. “It’ll get you out of position. You have to play smart and stick to your assignment, and not let the possibility of the quarterback taking off distract you.” Colgate’s new quarterback, Jake Melville, showed the ability to run last season. He played in five games, making one start,

while compiling 148 rushing yards. It’ll be up to Ayers and Miles to keep Melville in the pocket, and to not let him get into open space. Even when Melville isn’t tucking the football, Colgate uses running back Demetrius Russell and fullback Ed Pavalko as weapons out of the backfield.
