A rare consolidation of a strong mid- and upper-level trough in the polar jet stream with tropical hurricane Sandy resulted in a historic snowstorm in October 2012.

There were periods of rain on October 27 and 28 as a cold front moved east. Light rain changed to the first snowflakes on October 29. Snow fell across the high terrain of Southwest Virginia northward into the mountainous counties of central West Virginia. Heading north, the rain took longer to change to wet snow, especially in INFORMATION COURTESY OF THE WEST VIRGINIA HUMANITIES COUNCIL

Beetles threaten extinction to ash trees The cost of treatment for the ash trees on campus is too expensive for WVU

BY DOUGLAS SOULE ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

Around a quarter of an inch long, a beetle from northeastern Asia is threatening a tree species to extinction.

The Emerald Ash Borer, or EAB, was first seen in the United States in 2002, near Detroit, Michigan. This beetle, in its larval form, feeds from, and eventually kills, ash trees.

“The belief is that it came in through packaging on international trade,” said Gregory Dahle, WVU associate professor of arboriculture and urban forestry.

Since then, the beetles have infested 20 states. They were first reported in West Virginia in 2007.

Ash trees are now critically endangered.

“The vast majority of the trees that were not treated will suffer and die,” Dahle said.

This treatment includes in-

jecting a tree with insecticide.

At the entrance to the Morgantown Rail Trail, a cluster of Morgantown ash trees have received this treatment.

Less than a mile away, at Jack Roberts Park, several ash trees were removed last week following EAB infestation.

According to the Urban Tree Alliance, a non-profit organization that helps grow trees in Madison, Wisconsin, an ash tree with a trunk circumference of 36 inches would have an estimated cost of $110 to treat every 2-3 years, and an estimated removal cost of $416.

Bob Frame, WVU operation coordinator for Facilities Management (roads and grounds), said, “It would be too cost prohibitive to try to treat all the trees on campus.

Frame said that starting three years ago, around 150 ash trees have been removed from WVU’s Morgantown campus.

“We waited until the trees

SGA sees uptick in grant applications, recipients

BY CAITY COYNE STAFF WRITER

At this point last year, the organization had received 35 applications for student groups seeking funding for their various activities. This year so far, the Bureau of Finance has reviewed 65 applications.

“I think last year we did a really good job of being transparent with the grant process,” said Rachel Daw, SGA treasurer. “It set a good precedent, and now I think more students and groups just know about us.”

In addition to receiving more applications for grants, SGA has also awarded more total grants so far than at this point last year.

“We’re going a lot faster, and we’ve spent more money, but that has gone toward more grants than before,” Daw said, during a report to the SGA Student Assembly at Wednesday’s meeting.

At the end of last year, SGA’s grant fund was expended and student organizations looking for money were placed on a waitlist to receive funds. This year, Daw believe the organizations are acting quicker to ensure they can get access to the money available.

At the heightened rate,

SGA has awarded $44,841.19 in grant money so far, however only about $13,000 has been claimed by the student organizations requesting the funds, Daw said.

This isn’t abnormal, as at the end of each year SGA sees money left in the grant budget that organizations fail to claim for various reasons, like events falling through or circumstances changing.

Also at this week’s meeting: —The Student Assembly unanimously approved sponsoring a Survivor’s Vigil event on Oct. 27 in partnership with the WVU Title IX Office and the It’s On Us campaign —The Student Assembly unanimously approved the following grants: • $1,500.00 to the Student Bar Association to cover catering for its annual event in February •$423.25 to the National Residence Hall Honorary to purchase 11 quarter-zip sweatshirts for members •$1,968.00 to the Disc Golf Club to pay for lodging and registration for the team’s national tournament •$1,368.00 to the National Band Association for a national conference in Chicago •$1,381.98 to the Figure Skating Club for lodging and registration fees needed to attend the Eastern Sectional Championships in Florida

actually were infested with the Emerald Ash Borer and were in the process of decline when we removed them,” Frame said.

Companies like Mon Power, which provides electricity to 385,000 West Virginians, prefer to remove the ash tree outright.

“They have propensity to, within just a few years of being infested, to weaken to the point where they fall,” Myers said. “They are a tree that really endangers our line and can cause power outages.”

Todd Myers, a Mon Power spokesman, said that the company would cut down more than 10,000 ash trees in 2017, costing up to $1.4 million.

“They have propensity to, within just a few years of being infested, to weaken to the point where they fall,” Myers said. “They are a tree that really endangers our line and can cause power outages.”

“The idea is to get them before they get us,” Myers said.

Parkersburg residents share experience with industrial fire

Three firefighters from the Willamstown Fire Department stand in front of the fire.

BY ALI BARRETT AND DOUGLAS SOULE STAFF

Madison Matheny, a freshman international studies student from Parkersburg, West Virginia, said she was relieved the industrial fire wasn’t worse.

“Parkersburg, in the middle of Ohio Valley, has a lot different chemical plants,” Matheny said.

“In school, we practiced our shelter-in-place and we talked about what would happen if something went wrong in one of those plants, and whenever I heard about the fire I was immediately worried it was one of the active plants that could have caused even more damage,” Matheny said.

Matheny said her mom “has mentioned that if she spends any amount of time outside, then her eyes will be irritated.”

Matheny said public officials did not respond effectively after the warehouse caught fire and spread smoke into the surrounding communities, “My parents have said that people are walking around town with masks on,” Matheny said.

“School’s been out all week. That just doesn’t seem like a very calm and effective response to something like this.”

Katie Wootton, director of marketing and communications at WVU Parkersburg, said, “We’re hoping that we’ll be able to reopen Monday, but we’re not sure about that yet.”

WVU Parkersburg has been closed since Monday.

“I’ve been with the college for six and a half years; I can’t think of a time where we’ve been closed for an entire week,” Wootton said. “Certainly we’ve never

A firetruck from the Williamstown Fire Department with flames visible behind the vehicle.

On Saturday, a fire erupted in a warehouse in Parkersburg. The blaze has yet to be extinguished. The cause of the fire is still under investigation,w and the exact materials within the warehouse is still unclear.

The smoke and smells of the fire spread across the region. While public officials said the air is safe, citizens are worried about their health.

Smoke seen coming from the scene of the fire. been closed for something like this.”

Wootton said they could smell the smoke from the campus. It smells like “burnt plastic, chemicals” “We’re being extremely cautious due to the state of emergency and environmental concerns,” Wotton said. “We’re hoping that we’ll be able to reopen Monday, but we’re not sure about that yet.”

Tyler Collie, a WVU counseling psychology doctoral students from Parkersburg, West Virginia, has parents and a sister that live within 10 miles of the blaze.

“My dad had changed all the air filters in the house and they found ash all over the cars and these big chunks of debris that are the size of your hand,” Collie said. “It was just so gloomy.

There was was just a big, giant black cloud over everything.”

Collie said there isn’t any reliable information about the health hazards from the fire.

“The big controversy is the initial air quality test came out and it said, ‘No, everything’s fine,’” Collie said. “Everyone in the area is like, ‘We smell something that’s not fine. We smell something that doesn’t smell like smoke; it smells like chem-

icals.’ And my mom says she’ll walk outside and can’t even breathe, because it hurts her chest to breathe.”

Collie mentions economic effect of the fire on residents living in the Parkersburg area.

“There are so many workers whose businesses are being closed because of the environment, and that means they can’t provide for their families,” Collie said.

As for the people who live near the warehouse fire, “they can’t go to their homes right now,” Collie said. “Their kids can’t sleep in their own beds.”

“I think part of being from

West Virginia is helping each other, and I think we saw that in the response that we got from other counties,” Collie said.

“What you’ll see is a lot of people trying to come together, but I think a lot of people are going to be really hurt and angry.”

Joe Stephens, Parkersburg resident who teaches advanced placement courses at Parkersburg High School said the fire has brought the community to a halt.

“It feels like something out of a science fiction movie,” Stephens said.

“So many businesses have had to close, all of the schools closed and we’ve had several people who have ended up in the hospital with respiratory ailments,” Stephens said.

Since the schools have been closed all week, Stephens said the teachers at the high school have been communicating through Facebook.

Stephens said that if the county succeeds in its request to have the days forgiven due to the emergency that he will struggle with his full advanced placement classes.

“We’re all wondering how are we going to get that entire extra week of material in sometime in the next four or five weeks before the nine weeks ends,” Stephens said. “It’s going to be a bit of a daunting task.”

Stephens said that it took him aback when he first saw a woman wearing a mask, but

finds it odd that he hasn’t seen more people wearing the masks to help protect themselves.

Stephens said the community’s fear is that the owner will get away with this incident.

Jaime Bigley, who has lived in Parkersburg for the past 11 years, said there’s a lot of frustration in the community.

“They [the community] want answers and we’re just not getting any right now,” Bigley said.

“Nobody really knows when those are going to come.”

“The hospitals are giving out the masks [as well as a] law office, which is kinda funny to be giving out business cards with it,” Bigley said.

For those who don’t have the masks, Bigley said they are pulling their shirts over their faces.

Bigley said she had to leave her house for a day because the smell got so bad.

“The smoke was so thick; you walk outside and it starts burning yours eyes, itching your throat, you have trouble breathing, nausea [and become] lightheaded,” Bigley said.

However, the smoke has cleared up to more of a fog since Saturday when the community woke up to it Bigley said.

When Bigley woke up and went outside to see what was going on Saturday, she said she noticed how dark the sky was and it looked like it was about to storm because the smoke was so thick.

“Right now it’s pretty clear, but the stench is still out there,” Bigley said.

Depending on which way the wind is blowing and where you are, the smell is worse in some areas Bigley said.

WVU ASME to host 30th annual pumpkin drop

BY EMILY ZEKONIS CULTURE EDITOR

“WARNING: Many pumpkins are harmed during this event!”, says the WVU Chapter of American Society of Mechanical Engineers in preparation for the 30th annual Pumpkin Drop.

The pumpkin drop event began in 1987, created and promoted by ASME members Doug Velegol and Jim Webb.

Thanks to Webb’s promotional efforts 30 years ago, the event has grown to include over 350 participants for the 2017 drop.

Although today’s event is seen as a huge success, when planning the inaugural event the plan was nearly shut down. Webb was called into administration when news of the first event hit local radio stations.

“In preparation for the big event when I was approached

by Vicki, Dr. Lyons’ Admin, and was informed that Dr. Lyons wanted to see me in his office,” said Webb. “he heard someone on the local radio station talking about the pumpkin drop at the Engineering building later that day and asked if that was me on the radio. After visions of my diploma evaporating flashed through my head, I

swallowed hard and affirmed that it was me.”

Much to the surprise of Webb, Lyons face quickly spread into a grin and the event went off with a huge success.

“Two TV station camera crews were at the event that year, the rest is history” said Webb. “To this day, I’m not sure if I got Dr. Lyons into any hot water that first year, but it sure is cool to see the event persist to this day.”

Today, the event acts as a huge attraction for community members of all ages from the local area and region to get involved with the university and celebrate the Halloween season.

“A surprisingly large number of pumpkins survive the fall,” said Scott Wayne, the faculty advisor for WVU ASME. “Well over a hundred pumpkins survive intact, which makes it hard to determine the winners. Competitors have figured out what works and what doesn’t.”

Students come to the event with a unique creation to protect their pumpkin from the 11 story fall from the top of the WVU Engineering Sciences building. Pumpkins that survive the fall and land closest to the target are named the winners, along with those with the most

unique designs.

Teams must pay an entry fee of $10 to drop their pumpkin, with all registration funds being donated to the Ronald McDonald House.

Although the competition is run by the university, this year’s registered attendees list is dominated by K-12 students.

“It is an excellent opportunity to get students of all ages excited about science math engineering and technology fields,” said Wayne. “ I would also encourage more of our engineering students to take the ‘Am I Smarter than a 5th Grader’ challenge and see how they can stack up against some of these highly competitive K-12 teams.”

The 30th annual pumpkin drop is free and open to the pumpkin. Participants and interested audience members will gather at the Engineering Sciences building beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 27 to see which pumpkin’s survive the fall.

Falling Run Trail tells students to “take a hike”

Keller Williams to bring barefoot beats to Morgantown

BY DOUGLAS SOULE

BY JULIA HILLMAN

Six teams competed along the Falling Run Trail for a $400 prize on Tuesday.

“I trash-talked the other team and we ended up losing to that team,” said Kelsey Jimmie, a freshman strategic communications student from Fairmont, West Virginia.

The Falling Run Scavenger Hunt Contest combined social media and outdoor hiking.

Participating students looked for objects and landmarks along the Falling Run Trail. A picture of these objects were sent to the event organizers on Twitter.

The first place team received $400 worth of Amazon gift cards. Those in second place left with gift cards from various Morgantown businesses.

Marissa Bailey, an event organizer, said, “We had a winning team that was called the Last Minute Signups because they signed up right before the event started.”

“They were so excited, they ran back, they were sweating, huffing and puffing,” Bailey

For the first time in more than two years, Keller Williams is coming back to Morgantown to play an intimate show at 123 Pleasant Street.

Williams, American rock, jam and progressive bluegrass singer and multi- instrumentalist, picked up his first guitar at the young age of three and hasn’t slowed down since.

Since the beginning of his musical career in the ‘90s, Williams has worked tirelessly to define the term of being an individual artist. Each of his albums captures a little part of history, which only adds to the uniqueness of his work.

Williams released his first album, FREEK in 1994, and since then has been a part of 12 projects and put out 22 albums.

Entertainment Weekly recently included Williams as one of their top concerts to see this fall alongside top pop artists like The Weeknd, Harry Styles and Katy Perry.

Bailey and her partner Nadia Anderson organized the scavenger hunt for a strategic communications class. A dozen journalism students from Journalism 101 helped advertise the event.

Bailey said the main purpose of the scavenger hunt was to spread awareness of the Falling Run Greenspace.

The Falling Run Green Space offers students a hiking and biking trail within walking distance of the Mountainlair.

While still under construction, the trail will eventually stretch through 4.79 miles of Morgantown forest.

James Kotcon, WVU associate professor of plant pathol-

ogy, volunteers to maintain and expand the trails.

“The end goal would be to have a diverse network of trails, some of which are going to be more rugged single-track trails suitable for mountain biking and hiking; the main stem would be a ADA handicap accessible trail that would follow the Falling Run Stream up to the Organic Farm,” Kotcon said during a 2017 Welcome Week service event.

Currently, the Greenspace has 2.04 miles of trails.

Social Media: it’s not just fun, games and cute cat videos anymore

BY MAURA FLYNN CORRESPONDENT

As college students, using social media platforms for business, instead of recreation, can be crucial in the search for joining organizations, applying for internships jobs and communication.

Our generation was raised on technology. The cartoons and the gaming websites may not have been the most refined, but it taught us how to use virtually any website and learn online systems quickly.

Social media, too, has been a large part of our upbringing, which is great, because we have complete access to. But is also potentially destructive if negative trails follow your name.

Not only can having inappropropriate social media pages hurt your chances for jobs, not having any can be harmful as well, because it shows you may not be taking advantage of the resources that are just a tap away.

Christian Wendling, a realtor for Keller Williams and advocate for ‘self-branding’, says online platforms are the perfect start to professionalism.

WVU Football fans gearing up for big game

BY KAMERON DUNCAN OPINION EDITOR

Fall Saturdays in Morgantown usually mean one thing: football. This Saturday will be no different as the Mountaineers prepare to take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys at Milan Puskar Stadium.

The game will be nationally televised on ABC at noon on Saturday, and the Mountaineers will be facing arguably their toughest test of the season so far. Oklahoma State enters the game with a 6-1 record, their only loss coming at the hands of undefeated TCU. Oklahoma State is also the 11th ranked team in the entire country. This means that, according to rankings, they will be the best team that WVU has played so far this year.

The Mountaineers come into Saturday’s battle with a record of 5-2. A win against Oklahoma State will guarantee them a position in a postseason bowl game. A win also puts them right back into the race for the Big 12 championship, and potentially a spot in the conference championship game, which will be held in December.

Fans celebrate after the Mountaineers take the lead against Texas Tech late in the fourth quarter. their offense, led by the quarterback/wide receiver tandem of Will Grier and David Sills V. According to ESPN, Grier is the nation’s leader in touchdown passes, and Sills is the leader in touchdown receptions.

Johnathan Blake James, a junior from Charleston, West Virginia, believes that Grier and Sills will lead the Mountaineers to victory on Saturday.

“Of course, I’m biased, but I think we’ll win,” James said. “I like Will Grier, he’s a gambler on the field. He can really get

the ball downfield and it shows in the amount of points we’ve been able to score.”

While James was optimistic about WVU’s chances against Oklahoma State, he had some reservations about the rest of the season.

“Rome wasn’t built in a day,” James said. “A win against OSU would be big for us, but I’m not sure that we would be championship contenders because of it.”

The Mountaineers have a lot on the line in Saturday’s game,

and there will be no shortage of eyes on their performance.

The fans in the stadium, those watching at home, and Mountaineers all around the world will be eager to see them come out of the battle with a victory.

James had this to say about the fan response to a potential win.

“The town will go crazy if we win on Saturday. If the past is anything to go by, it could be a great weekend in Morgantown,” James said.

Five rules of styling athleisure wear EMILY MATLOCK FASHION COLUMNIST

Athleisure fashion upgrades your typical workout wear Finding an outfit that would take you from class, to the gym and out to a dinner with friends used to be impossible. Daily routines shouldn’t require three different outfits.

Athleisure fashion is where comfy casual meets flexible workout wear. Performance wear has turned into everyday wear in America because it’s practical and flexible.

While there are other places in the world where leggings and a gym tank are not considered fashion-forward, the athleisure fashion has been a huge hit among those in a rush in the States.

“On days where I plan a workout for after class, or even if I just want to be comfortable, I’ll wear athletic clothes to class,” said Annie Fox, a freshman biology student from Wheeling, West Virginia.

The versatility of athletic wear is ideal for college students’ busy lives.

“A lot of the athletic pieces we get for dance team are designed for appearances, and they’re perfect for practice too because of the Nike Dri-FIT fabric,” Fox, who is also a member of the WVU Dance Team, said.

Microfiber fabrics that wick off sweat keep the body dry and cool during a workout. The flexibility in the material also provides comfort for all day wear.

“The dri-fit fabric is really versatile because it looks really nice, but also is a great material to work out in,” Fox said. “Our practices can be grueling and we sweat a lot, so when it comes to

Taylor Newman, a junior sport and exercise psychology student from Newark, Delaware, keeps her athleisure looks simple by wearing matching twopiece sets.

“A crop top, sports bra and high-waisted yoga leggings with a pair of cute sneakers definitely fits the look of any fitness girl,” Newman said. “A style

New for Fall at

that stands out this season is the more edgy look, which features mesh or holes on the leggings and vibrant colors and floral patterns for the outfit sets.”

Athleisure fashion changed how people perceive workout wear. Instead of wearing dark colored, structured athletic clothes, the athleisure movement embraces vibrant colors and fun patterns.

One way to get trendy ath-

leisure clothing to your doorstep is through a subscription box.

Morgan Newman, a junior sport and exercise psychology student from Newark, Delaware, along with her twin sister Taylor, update their fitness wardrobe monthly through Fabletics, a member-based online store for workout wear.

“We subscribe to Fabletics because their clothing is cheaper when you are a member of their program. They provide coupons and updates on the latest styles and trends,” Morgan said.

Technology in fashion is also a key element of the athleisure wave. Watches, fitness trackers, and other tech gadgets are useful during workouts and can be styled to coordinate with outfits.

Morgan Newman reveals her favorite tech accessories are a Nike Apple Watch and Beats

by Dr. Dre headphones.

“The Nike Apple Watch serves as a calorie counter when working out. It also provides a lot of other functions that are great for using every day. The Beats headphones are a great way to keep focused,” Morgan said.

Whether you’re on your way to a workout, or simply wish to be comfortable throughout the day, athleisure fashion is going to keep you trendy and relaxed. Picking up a few staple athletic pieces such as printed yoga leggings or a fitted, lightweight jacket will upgrade your fitness wardrobe for the season.

1. Stay up to date with trends. Always look for what’s up and coming.

2. Invest in pieces that are fashionable and functional.

3. Incorporate tech accessories in your outfit to track your fitness.

4. Throw a zip-up jacket over a tank top to go from a workout to lunch with friends.

5. Mix and match geometric or floral print tops with neutral colored leggings.

Connecting food and lifestyle Between class, extracurriculars and maintaining relationships, college students have a lot on their plate. However, amidst all of these things, it seems students may be forgetting to focus on what is actually on their plate — the one they eat off of, that is.

Dr. Deanna Minich, a functionalist nutritionist and author, has been writing about the relationship humans have with food by exploring how food connects to our lives and well-being.

In “The Science and Art of Our Relationship with Food”, Dr. Munich writes that “every individual requires an artfully-tailored approach that spans not just their food, but their lives.”

Between overeating, under-eating, emotional-eating and more, there are factors in our lives that affect the way we feed our bodies.

According to WellWVU, most college students do not even consume three servings of fruits and vegetables each day, while the Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends five to nine servings. It can be extremely difficult to navigate dining options on campus or plan out meals when doing your own grocery shopping for the first time, but the time to start learning and understanding your body is now.

“I was on the go, moving fast and my eating was quick, processed and convenient,” Dr. Munich wrote on her realization that her own eating

“What, when and where we are when we choose to eat all impacts our health in the present and definitely later in life,” said Dr. Melissa Olfert, an associate professor of Human Nutrition & Foods.

Dr. Olfert shared that a

study called WISH4Campus reported college students that spent money on other items before food had lower levels of health compared to students who prioritized what they were buying to nourish themselves.

Cami McMillen-Haught, a registered dietician at WVU, shared that our relationship with food begins developing

at a young age, with the tone being set by our families and the level of focus on nutrition in our homes.

Haught agrees that the way we eat revolves around a lifestyle of convenience. “We want quick, easy and tasty foods without a lot of work.”

The question then becomes where to begin when making better choices and how to find

a balance that works for you and your body.

Dr. Olfert recognizes that unhealthy choices will happen, but says, “There is absolutely a balance when it comes to eating. As nutrition professionals, we don’t want people to restrict themselves, disease state pending, to the points where they cannot sustain a lifestyle change and fall back into a habit of constantly eating poorly.”

Dr. Olfert recommends looking into the Get Fruved program here on campus led by senior nutrition students who seek to provide resources to better understand how to best fuel our bodies. Through Get Fruved you can surround yourself with others who care about a healthy lifestyle and learn how to incorporate and sneak in super healthy foods into your everyday diet.

When reflecting on your own eating habits, there are some signs that might indicate you have an unhealthy relationship with food.

“Signs of an unhealthy relationship with food are restricting food, exercising to compensate for food intake, binging food, purging food, following very strict routines with food and excessive calorie counting,” Haught said.

Resources on campus are available if you feel you may be experiencing any of these habits and want to seek help including our dietician, health center, counseling center and programs like Get Fruved.

Fast nutrition tips for busy college g students

- Brain Food: grab a lean protein to enhance alertness

x8 - Stay hydrated: skip the juices and soda and opt for at least eight glasses of water daily

- Get glowing skin: cut out sugar to promote insulin production that fights inflammation

- Energy before exercise: eat easily digested carbs like fruit for immediate energy

Big 12 Showdown: Prolific offenses set to face Saturday

BY CHRIS JACKSON MANAGING EDITOR The offenses are garnering most of the attention ahead of Saturday’s noon game at Milan Puskar Stadium.

Both Oklahoma State and West Virginia’s offenses rank among the best in college football. Both are 3-1 in the Big 12 and a part of a four-way tie for second place. Both feature NFL-level quarterbacks in Oklahoma State senior Mason Rudolph and WVU redshirt junior Will Grier.

And both sit in the top 25, with Oklahoma State at No. 11 and WVU at No. 22.

“It should be a lot of fun,” said WVU Head Coach Dana Holgorsen. “The atmosphere I know is going to be wild and the guys are looking forward to being here and being able to play this game.”

Grier’s 26 touchdown passes are the most in the country, with his 2,476 passing yards at seventh nationally. His top target, junior David Sills, holds a national-best 15 touchdown catches.

Rudolph is at 19th scoring throws, but his 2,650 yards are just ahead of UCLA’s Josh Rosen for the most. His numbers are a big reason why the Cowboys lead college football in yards per game (585) and are third in scoring (43.7 points per contest), which is just above WVU’s 539 yards and 43.3 points per game.

“He’s a seasoned veteran,” said WVU Cornerbacks Coach Doug Belk. “He understands schemes. He understands defenses. It’s more about competing on the outside and trying to get to those receivers and make it difficult for those guys to make catches on the outside.”

WVU redshirt senior linebacker Al-Rasheed Benton — who has 11.5 tackles for loss — and the defense want to

“He understands schemes. He understands defenses. It’s more about competing on the outside and trying to get to those receivers and make it difficult for those guys to make catches on the outside.”

- Dana Holgorsen, WVU Head Coach take Rudolph out of his comfort zone.

“We’ve got to focus on getting turnovers and getting pressure in his face,” Benton said. “Forcing him to make some throws he might not want to make.”

Rudolph has a bevy of receivers at his disposal. Three are on the Biletnikoff Award Watch List (top receiver) — redshirt senior Marcell Ateman, junior Jalen McCleskey and senior James Washington.

Of those three, Washington headlines the list with 914 receiving yards, which ranks No. 2 in the nation.

“They have the ability to go down the field at any point,” said WVU Defensive Coordinator Tony Gibson. “He has three or four weapons to throw it to.”

The running game is also something the Mountaineers are prepared for. Sophomore Justice Hill is up to 750 yards on the ground and five touchdowns, averaging more than five yards per carry.

“Their (running) back is probably the best that we’ve faced this year as well,” Holgorsen said. “We saw him last year as a young kid, but he has really developed.”

But as high potent as Oklahoma State’s offense is, WVU is not forgetting about its defense.

The Cowboys typically feature dominant players up front

on the defense line, and this year is no different. Redshirt junior defensive end Jordan Brailford and redshirt senior defensive tackle DeQuinton Osborne are at a combined 6.5 sacks so far this season.

Holgorsen also raved about their safeties — Tre Flowers and Ramon Richards — who are both versatile players that have moved positions.

“They’re getting a lot of good players,” Holgorsen said.

“It’s probably the best safety tandem that we’ve seen.”

A win would keep WVU in the thick of the Big 12 Championship race, moving it to 4-1 in the Big 12 and remaining in second place (the top two teams qualify for the conference title game). A loss would send it one game back of one of those spots, with matchups still remaining against No. 25 Iowa State, Kansas State, Texas and No. 10 Oklahoma.

WVU is confident it will get another step closer to accomplishing its preseason goals.

“It’s more just go out and play our game and worry about the things that we can control,” Spavital said. “I know that they’re going to have to fight for every single yard because they do a good job at keeping everything in front of them. It’s mainly keep the same mindset. Keep them confident and go out there and play our game. I think they’re ready to go out and play this opponent.”

WVU looking to finally put together a complete game

BY NEEL MADHAVAN SPORTS WRITER

West Virginia has yet to play a complete game this season both offensively and defensively.

All season long the WVU coaches have talked about the lack of consistency on both sides of the ball.

“That’s what we’ve been challenging them to do all week,” said WVU Offensive Coordinator Jake Spavital. “We have yet to put together a complete game. I still think we haven’t played up to our potential yet.”

The Mountaineers struggled to close out their games against Kansas and Baylor, while they needed a heroic comeback to defeat Texas Tech.

Last week against the Bears, WVU built up a 38-13 lead in the third quarter. As the game clock struck 00:00 in the third, and the fourth quarter began, it was as if a completely different game was unfolding.

“It was a weird first half, but I thought we had a good halftime and went out and played great third quarter,” said WVU Head Coach Dana Holgorsen.

“We were up a lot of points and then it kind of got away from us at that point. Offense didn’t do anything in the fourth quarter; defense gave up way too much; special teams didn’t do

“That’s something that we’ve emphasized about finishing,” Spavital said.

“In the fourth quarter I thought that we did that against Texas Tech; we sputtered for three quarters and then finished that game.”

- Dana Holgorsen, WVU Head Coach anything.”

Baylor proceeded to rattle off 23 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. Had it not been for a Xavier Preston sack on a potential game-tying two-point conversion, the Bears would likely have tied the game and forced overtime.

“When we have an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter, it needs to remain and 18-point lead,” Holgorsen said.

WVU trailed for much of the game against the Red Raiders.

By the midway point of the third quarter, Texas Tech led the Mountaineers 35-17.

However, following a touchdown at the end of the third quarter, the WVU offense came alive, scoring 29 unanswered points to pass and pull away from Texas Tech 46-35.

“That’s something that we’ve emphasized about finishing,” Spavital said. “In the fourth quarter I thought that we did that against Texas Tech; we sputtered for three quarters and then finished that game.”

Finally, against the Jayhawks, WVU built up a 35-13 halftime lead, only to see it get cut to 35-27 by the end of the third quarter. WVU then closed the fourth quarter with 21 points to put Kansas away.

The Mountaineers still have the toughest stretch of their schedule ahead of them, starting with this weekend’s matchup with No. 11 Oklahoma State.

An inconsistent or partial game performance is not going to bode well for WVU against teams like talented and high-scoring Oklahoma State and Oklahoma, newly ranked Iowa State, always improving Texas and tough and disciplined Kansas State.

“We got to go back and find a way to play four quarters,” said WVU Defensive Coordinator Tony Gibson. “We’re good, healthy for about two quarters, now three quarters, maybe next week is the four-quarter game. We’re getting closer.”

Mountaineers seek strong chance against No. 14 Akron

BY JOHN LOWE

ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR Running out of opportunities to boost their reputation, the WVU men’s soccer team charges into their Senior Night game against No. 14 Akron.

The Mountaineers stand with a record of 8-4-4 and no conference wins. Only two games remain on the regular season schedule and Marlon LeBlanc’s team is running out of opportunities to impress the NCAA selection committee.

Taking on No. 14 Akron creates the perfect chance to turn some heads towards Morgantown.

“Another good team, an excellent team,” LeBlanc said of Akron. “In my opinion, they’re really hitting their stride right now. We’re going to have to be really good to beat them.”

WVU set for Big 12 Championships

BY JOSEPH SEVERINO CORRESPONDENT

The West Virginia cross country team will begin the postseason this Saturday when they travel to Round Rock, Texas, to compete in the 2017 Big 12 Championships.

The Mountaineers have finished in the top three at the Big 12 championships each of the last four seasons, including a third-place finish a year ago.

WVU is coming off an eighth-place finish in its regular season finale at Penn State earlier this month. Despite the underwhelming team finish, Head Coach Sean Cleary says that he was still impressed with his runners.

“We ran nine girls, and I thought we had seven really good races,” Cleary said. “Individually speaking, I feel like we ran a very good race.”

According to Cleary, Iowa State, the defending Big 12 champs, are expected to be the team that the field will be

chasing. Oklahoma State, the 2016 runner-up, should be the team with the best shot for an upset.

WVU, Baylor, Oklahoma and Texas are the second-tier teams with the best shot to contend for a title.

The Mountaineers can greatly improve their chances at a title if senior Jill Forsey is able to race Saturday. Cleary says that it will be a “gametime decision” whether or not Forsey will be able to compete.

Forsey finished second overall in last year’s Big 12’s, so she would absolutely be an asset if she’s healthy. But if she can’t go, WVU still has seniors Maggie Drazba and Amy Cashin to carry the torch.

Forsey, Drazba and Cashin have been on two teams that have made it to the national championships in their career, but Cleary believes his seniors still have a lot more to accomplish.

“Forget the individual successes that they’ve had,” Cleary said. “I think their legacy will be leading this team

with courageous runs in the next three weeks, and quite honestly preparing them for the future.”

Cleary also says that the experience the trio brings could carry them far into the postseason.

“A lot of teams would be ecstatic to have one returning class of an elite eight and a top-25 finish (nationally), but this team wants a little more,” Cleary said. “They’re doing whatever they can to put this team into the national championships in three weeks.”

WVU has needed to rely on youth all season with Forsey out. Cleary says that the younger girls have performed well in the regular season, but now he’s hoping to see the rest of his team mature over the next few weeks. “(The question is) can they get out there and eliminate pressure and run to the best of their ability,” Cleary said.

“I have faith that they can do so.”

Saturday’s meet is slated to begin at 11 a.m.

United in Possibilities Daily nonstop jet service to Chicago and Washington DC begins Nov. 1 from Clarksburg.

“I think it’s about time our fans to came out and really got behind this team because it’s a good team,” - Marlon LeBlanc season, 3-1. It’s the Mountaineers’ most recent conference victory to date.

“Obviously, we went out there a year ago and found a great result on the road, beating them 3-1,” LeBlanc said.

“But this is a new year. We won’t look back at all. We’ll look forward as to what we need to do for this game.”

Friday’s game will also be a celebration for the Mountaineer senior class, which includes goalkeeper Jose Santos, defenders Louis Thomas and Steven James and midfielder Jad Arslan.

Arslan leads the Mountaineers with three game winners against Cal, Santa Clara and Wright State.

Joey Piatczyc will also be recognized in Friday’s pregame ceremonies, but he does have the option to return to Morgantown for one more year since a knee injury sidelined him for the entire 2017 season.

This year’s senior class has an overall record of 34-30-6.

“I think it’s about time our fans to came out and really got behind this team because it’s a good team,” LeBlanc said.

“We need a home advantage on Friday night, because if we were to go to Akron, there would be 5,000 people there.”

WVU’s game against Akron will kickoff at 7 p.m. Friday at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.
