Students, Sigma Nu mourn loss of brother BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD CORRESPONDENT
As they listened to friends and classmates speak of their fondest memories, Jordan DeMaske’s mother, father and sister held hands somberly in the Mountainlair Plaza. “(Jordan) was everything you could ask for in a brother, he was there until the very last day,” said Nick Gigliotti, who first met DeMaske during fraternity recruitment last year. “He was just the most humble, caring—would do anything for you.” DeMaske, 24, of Morgantown, died of cancer in early September. He was a West Virginia University alumn
and a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity. Sigma Nu released blue and gold balloons Wednesday evening in remembrance of their brother. “He cared about you guys so much,” said Jordan’s father, Mike DeMaske. “In the hospital, he would worry about not getting back to all of the brothers. He never quit, never quit.” As a brother of Sigma Nu, DeMaske served as chaplin and was a member of the Alumni Advisory Board, according to his obituary. He graduated in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in criminology, and planned to become a police officer, and eventually a federal agent.
Patch Byron, senior multidisciplinary studies student, knew DeMaske for more than five years. DeMaske was a member of Sigma Nu when Byron pledged and the two quickly became close friends, Byron said. “I don’t have a biological brother, but if I did, I wish it was someone just like him,” he said. “He was real. What he said, he meant. He didn’t say a lot, but when he spoke, everyone listened. Something about him just pulled you in.” Family and friends watched the blue and gold balloons float away past the trees in memory of Jordan.

Phi Kappa Psi fraternity plans return to campus BY MATTHEW PENNOCK CORRESPONDENT
Phi Kappa Psi is back on campus and offering scholarships after a five-year suspension. “It was a self-imposed suspension,” said Marc Munoz, the expansion consultant for Phi Kappa Psi. Phi Kappa Psi’s national chapter wants to start anew and, as Munoz put it, “rebrand the fraternity.” The fraternity returned to campus this fall and is offering five $1,000 scholar-
ships. In an effort to rebuild the chapter, Phi Kappa Psi is looking for males with at least a 2.85 GPA who are involved on campus through clubs or other student organizations. The scholarships are for any male affiliated or not affiliated with Greek life, and there is no requirement to join Phi Kappa Psi. Munoz and his colleague Phil Mikos, a chapter services consultant, are on campus for the fall semester searching for qualified individuals.
“We have to get our face out and show that we do mean business when it comes to academics,” Munoz said. Phi Kappa Psi was suspended from campus in December 2013 by its national chapter after a hazing incident that led to the arrest of a WVU student for assault and battery. Munoz addressed the general connotation associated with many fraternities as being conduits for partying and hazing. “We admit it exists and
we’re not afraid to talk about it,” he said. “We think it’s important to talk about it so history does not repeat itself.” Munoz said they are looking for guys who want to join “for the right reasons.” “We don’t want the stereotypical fraternity,” Mikos said. “We want to change the culture here and so it’s finding the guys that want to do that.” Mikos’ goal to “change the culture” fits perfectly with the rhetoric that’s been heard around campus in the
last few years as University administrators have pushed for policies and actions to hold those on campus, specifically Greek life, accountable for their actions. Last fall semester, Roy Baker was hired and brought on as WVU’s first director of Greek life. The creation of this position and Baker’s appointment to it was one of seven steps in Vice President of Student Life William Schafer’s 2015 initiative to restructure Greek life on WVU’s campus. Some of his other actions included de-
laying recruitment for freshman students (which will take effect this year), implementing a medical amnesty policy for the University and starting more training initiatives for Greek life leaders, among other things. Phi Kapa Psi is encouraging anyone interested in joining to reach out. Once Munoz and Mikos leave campus, members of the Phi Kappa Psi will police the fraternity, and help ensure members stick to its values.
4 | THE LAST GASP OF SUMMER
Pumpkin spice lattes are back, students are already breaking out their boots and sweaters and in less than two weeks, Fall will officially arrive. With such limited time left to experience what a Morgantown summer has to offer, The DA staff has compiled a list of four activities to try before the temperatures start to drop and midterms arrive...
1
Morgantown Farmer’s Market
Keep it local and stop by the Morgantown Farmers Market to enjoy one of the few Saturday Downtown Markets left before the cold air hits. More than 30 vendors gather, and their products are grown or made within 50 miles. The Market is open from 8:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday at the corner of Spruce Street and Fayette Street at the Morgantown Market Place. The last weekend of the Saturday Downtown Market will be Nov. 5.

Visit a state park
Before the cold weather hits and hiking paths become treacherous, check out one of West Virginia’s beautiful state parks. Students and locals love Coopers Rock, but the wild and wonderful state has so many more to offer. Valley Falls, which is about 30 minutes away from Morgantown, is a great place to go lay out in the sun. Audra, Stonewall Jackson Lake, Cedar Creek, Berkeley Springs, and Blennerhassett Island are just a few of the other state parks that are less than two hours away from Morgantown

Sweat your heart out at a Mountaineer game Don’t let the heat stop you from sweating your heart out at the Mountaineer game this weekend. Grab yourself a nice, cold beer to cool off and keep your spirit up. We all want to see the Mountaineers beat Youngstown State, and you’ll want to be there for that win. Youngstown State is also the last opponent the Mountaineers will face before the end of summer. Before we know it, we’ll be bundled in scarves and coats, gripping cups of hot cocoa.
Kayak on one of the state’s many lakes or rivers Grab a few friends and head over to Cheat River for a kayak trip as you enjoy the gorgeous scenery. The perfect outdoor activity to end your summer with, there are multiple places you can rent a kayak at, including the University. With the Student Recreation Center offering kayak rentals for a minimum of $15 a day, Pathfinder sells brand named kayaks, as well. Located on 235 High Street, you can swing by there to grab your equipment, as well.

Biology 101 Survival Guide BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR
For many college students, science and biology can be intimidating. “The study of life? ALL life?” It is intimidating, but WVU Biology Professor Jennifer Stueckle says that it’s nothing to fear. “I feel like students are scared of it just because of biology, but I think the class is probably one of the most applicable classes to their lives,” she said. “One day someone in their family is going to have a disease or they’re going to have cancer or they’re
going to have children and some genetic condition will happen. All of these basic fundamentals in this class will really open your eyes to understanding your own life and what’s going on.” Another reason students are afraid of the course, Stueckle said, is because they think it’s a rerun of high school biology, where “students hated it or they did very terribly,” according to Stueckle. So how do you succeed in this class? “Really it’s just study skills and the ability to turn your work in on time, as well as
studying every day after class. I can teach you the content, but I can’t teach you to get your work in and to show up for class,” Stueckle said. And how do you fail the class? Don’t go. “So even if you got 100 percent on every single exam, it would only leave you with a C in the class,” Stueckle said. “The probability of getting 100 percent on all of the exams is extremely low, which is why most people get D’s or F’s—because they don’t come, and they say ‘Oh, I’lljust take the tests and won’t worry about coming.’”
Her number one tip? “Come and see me if you have a problem.” “I don’t understand why students don’t know what office hours are,” Stueckle said. “People will try to make appointments with me during office hours and I explain over and over that my door is wide open, you just walk in during office hours, and nobody comes in! My office hours end up being good times to get work done for me, because nobody comes! I mean, I have 500 students and I might get one, maybe one.”

Dumping the Department of Education is a mistake BY AUSTIN REMPEL COLUMNIST
I’m not going to spend too much time worrying about the ravings of a man bound to lose the presidency and be doomed to obscurity and (continued) financial ruin. But I will discuss the continued attacks on our education system, the insistence that schools be run at the state level and that private schools should be subsidized. First let me disclose that I am a teacher. I taught for several years at a juvenile detention center and am now a substitute teacher in Monongalia and Marion Counties. Republican Candidate Donald Trump advocates a
reduction in the power and reach of the Department of Education. A new article by The Hill crunched some numbers on his plan and found more than 450,000 teacher positions would be eliminated and that thousands of grants and scholarships would go unfunded. The report said Trump’s plan would almost entirely destroy public education as we know it. Http://Snopes.com countered that those numbers cannot be verified and that any president would not have the power to attack the Department of Education without congressional approval. Even so, I am disturbed that many in our country have turned against educators. They attack teachers for

and they attack us when the course is too easy. Teachers are expected to have all the answers to all the problems
regardless of outside factors. When we speak of eliminating the Department of Education it seems to suggest that teachers are being punished for their failures. In reality, budget cuts and program eliminations are to blame. We often compare our educational system to those of smaller countries or to countries that educate only those who succeed. This is not and cannot ever be an accurate statistic. In the United States we educate all students. We educate the rich and the poor. We educate the runners and the wheelchair bound. We educate the spelling bee champions and the dyslexic. We educate the next generation not for ourselves but for the sake
of their future. We also love those students as if they were our own children. So, when Mr. Trump talks about eliminating educational programs I am particularly upset. I’m not angered about the effect it will have on me. I would give my paycheck and my life for the students in my care but part of my willingness to make that sacrifice is knowing that we, as a people, have made a promise to these children that their tomorrow will be better than today.

Mountaineers to volunteer at Day to Serve Initiative BY EMILY ZEKONIS CORRESPONDENT
Day to Serve gives Mountaineers the chance to step up, and positively affect their community. The community service initiative lasts for a month, from Sept. 11th to Oct. 11th, in effort to unite people to improve their communities. Running four years strong, the Day to Serve started after governors of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and the mayor of Washington, D.C. came together to create the program. For West Virginia resi-
dents specifically, it supports the idea of bringing students of the University and residents together to improve the community they share. T h e p ro g ra m ha s grown significantly in its four years of existence. In the first year, 14,000 volunteers shared their time in efforts to collect, food, plant trees, and positively affect their communities. The 2015 initiative grew to 50,000 volunteers participating in more than 1,300 events throughout the participating states. Day to Serve also sup-
ports and serves as a push period for the Million Hour Match program, another community service program in West Virginia. Million Hour Match encourages students to reach one million hours of community service while residents of the community match them with another million hours, resulting in a total of two million hours by 2018. The initiative, and its available options for participation, can be found on iServe, along with the official proclamation from West Virginia Gov-
ernor, Earl Ray Tomblin. A wide variety of efforts are avaliable for all interests from sports to animals at different times to accommodate class schedules and the busy lives of students. “ Volunteerism strengthens and enriches our communities; and volunteering increases the self-confidence and physical well-being of volunteers”, said Governor Tomblin in his proclamation on iServe. Tomblin stressed that service is not only good for the community, but oneself.
Local bars, clubs and restaurants are preparing exciting events and specials for the upcoming game day weekend. If you’re looking to enjoy a diverse range of music this weekend, look no further. There are many performances lined up, but the main attraction is no other than country music star Brad Paisley. Brad Paisley will be performing a free concert Friday on the hill at West Virginia University’s Law School. Students with a valid ID are given entry at 5:30 p.m., while the gates open to the general public at 6:30 p.m. The opening act will go on at 7:30 p.m. and Brad Paisley will take the stage at 8:45 p.m. In addition to the Brad Paisley concert, there are many other shows around Morgantown that you don’t want to miss. Ghastly, an EDM artist, is performing at Mainstage on Saturday night at 9:00 p.m. General admission is $15. On Friday and Saturday night, Lost in Paris is performing at Joe Mama’s. Doors for both
shows will open at 9:00 p.m. Black Bear Burrito will be hosting live music this weekend, as well. At the downtown campus, Tom Batchelor and Fiddling Mike will be performing Friday night, with Scott Alexander taking the stage Saturday night. On the evansdale campus, Kevin Hamric and the Weary Space Wanderer will be performing Friday night and Terry Schnell on Saturday night. All shows begin at 6:30 p.m. Liquid Lounge is having a Ciroc Saturday Special. There will be $1 top shelf drinks including Ciroc, Hennessy and Patron. Whisper will be hosting a Free Cover Friday special. All you have to do is share their picture on Facebook or Instagram, show it to the bouncer at the door, and you get free cover for the night.

Sabrina Dahlia (left and right) and Jack DeVault (middle) pose in “athleisure” outfits. When getting ready for an early morning class, comfort tends to take priority over fashion. Looking nice isn’t considered when you want to roll out of bed and throw on Nike shorts and flip flops. Luckily, one of this year’s biggest trends remains comfortable without risking style: athleisure. Athleisure dressing takes inspiration from athletic wear, but focuses on aesthetics more than practicality. The clothes are comfortable, but not necessarily something you would actually work out in. The look has been worn by street style stars and top models Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, and seen in celebrity clothing collections such as Beyoncé’s Ivy Park for Topshop and Rihanna’s Fenty x Puma. Let’s start with accessories—Particularly shoes and hats. Stepping out of the stilettos and into a pair of fresh Adidas can take a slip dress from sexy and fancy to understated and cool. Adding a ball cap or even putting your hair into a high ponytail can elevate the sportiness of the look. Although sneakers and a ball cap are athleisure essentials, creepers and slides for your feet are other options that project a similar vibe, as well as a beanie for headwear.
Focus on textures. With the inclusion of the right textiles, even a silhouette that isn’t traditionally athletic can have an athleisure look. Think spandex, scuba knits like neoprene, mesh, ribbed tops and skirts; basically anything stretchy. Even a bodycon skirt and a crop top can be sporty. To take it over the top, add a windbreaker and accessories. Think logos and stripes. A sweatshirt or tee boasting a sportswear logo is a necessary athleisure piece, and many brands are mixing up the classic look with embroidered details and new patterns and colors, as seen in the Adidas Originals line. Side-striped track jackets and pants are another must have, or bolder stripes in a collared rugby jersey and an American Apparel staple tennis skirt. Play with proportions. Go beyond the standard WVU hoodie and leggings look. Opt instead for high waisted leggings with a cropped hoodie and a cool jacket over top, or take a cue from Kanye with a knee length tee shirt over pants. Making an athleisure look stand out is all about deviating from the expectations of sport dressing—and wearing your look with confidence.

WVU prepares for FCS opponent Youngstown State BY ALEC GEARTY SPORTS WRITER
After dealing with a rib-injury, West Virginia University quarterback Skyler Howard will be goodto-go as the Mountaineers take on the Youngstown State Penguins—and its loaded backfield—on Saturday. Howard scrambled right and on an attempted slide, he came up holding his ribs. The injury resulted in Howard missing the rest of the first half but Howard was trying to do what was best for the team. “If it’s going to put our team in a position to win, I’m all about it,” Howard told http://WVUsports. com. “It’s a little freak accident, but I’m alright.” Despite leaving briefly, Howard returned and
threw for 145 yards in the second half, leaving doubt that he will miss any playing time with the injury. He says while it’s WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen’s decision, he is “going to play ball.” It will be the second straight week where Howard faces a defense that has garnered recognition from the media, as the Penguins’ defense allowed the fewest passing yards in all of the FCS. It could be another instance where Justin Crawford and Rushel Shell establish the run. Former Nebraska headcoach Bo Pelini took over the Youngstown State job in 2015, and the season didn’t bode well for him. In his first year, YSU failed to have a winning season, compiling a 5-6 record. Now, with a new quarterback under
RYAN ALEXANDER / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM
Rushel Shell breaks loose during WVU’s victory over Missouri. center in Ricky Davis, Pelini has started off 2016 in the right direction. Last Saturday, the Penguins defeated Duquesne University, 45-10. Davis recorded three touchdowns on 187 yards, making for an impressive debut. However, it will be YSU’s run game that will pose a threat against the Moun-
taineers. While West Virginia has multiple options in its backfield, Youngstown State has the same pleasure of options in Tevin McCaster and Jody Webb. “(Webb) is a good player,” said WVU defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. “I think he’s probably one of the fastest backs we’ll play all year long.”
Webb averages 8.7 yards a carry thus far and can prove to be difficult to contain for the Mountaineers run defense. However, like Howard, Webb left in his respective game but is expected to play on Saturday. Alongside Webb, McCaster is new to the scene after spending time as the kick returner in 2015. In his first game as the exclusive tailback, McCaster surpassed 100 yards for the first time in his career. With the loaded backfield, Gibson expects the Penguins to try and run as much as possible. “I think what they are going to do is use multiple tight ends, backs and try to run it,” Gibson said. “I think they want to control the clock…and limit our offensive possessions.” Now, the aspect that
Youngstown State excels at that Missouri didn’t is possession time. The Penguins know how to dictate a game, simply by having time in its favor. In its dismantling victory last week, YSU won the time of possession battle by nearly double (37:12 to 22:48). The end result was the 35-point victory, hence why its run-game is such an effective part of the Penguins game plan. Despite Youngstown State being a FCS team, Holgorsen isn’t looking past this Penguins group. “Last week alone, there’s three FCS teams that beat FBS teams, one of which was in our conference,” Holgorsen said. “We’re going to respect our opponent…and move on to where we can get to 2-0.”
WVU understands not to overlook FCS opponents BY TAYLOR HALL SPORTS WRITER
West Virginia University topped a strong SEC team, Missouri, 26-11 in its Labor Day Weekend season opener and now moves on to face Youngstown State this Saturday. Head coach Dana Holgorsen plans to keep the team focused, despite the fact they will be playing an FCS team this weekend. Many may argue the team
will not have to work as hard to play and win against FCS teams, but the WVU coaching staff disagrees completely when looking to a team like Youngstown State. “Those guys are pretty good,” Holgorsen said. “They won like nine games the previous year. They’re extremely well coached, but I feel like we’ve handled it pretty good.” Youngstown State head coach, Bo Pelini, is the former head coach of Ne-
braska and holds an impressive record. Pelini has a lot of coaching jobs on his resume, including being defensive backs coach for the New England Patriots. Alongside the time in New England, Pelini also spent seven consecutive seasons at Nebraska. During the years there, he won 71 percent of the games and advanced to four conference championships—one in the Big 12 and one in the Big Ten.
WVU understands that success is translating to the FCS level. “Youngstown State is a good football team now,” Holgorsen said. “Everyone understands that just being in this part of the country what Youngstown has done. It’s a winning tradition. They’ve won four national championships. They’ve had lots and lots of good players and lots of wins. Their players walk by their national cham-
pionship trophies and conference championship trophies every single day. They have really good players. They’re extremely sound.” Youngstown currently boasts a winning 1-0 record and has had a lot of good games against FBS teams in the past few years, including a win against Pittsburgh in 2012 and three close games against Michigan State, Illinois and Pittsburgh in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
Last week, three FCS teams beat FBS teams, and Holgorsen said this should grab the attention of players and fans alike. “Last week alone there’s three FCS teams that beat FBS teams, one of which was in our conference,” he said. “Our players are going to understand this. I’m not expecting any kind of poor performance because of the difference in the division.”

No. 22 WVU looks to carry momentum Friday night BY JOHN LOWE SPORTS WRITER
The No. 22 West Virginia Mountaineers (2-10) return to the pitch on Friday night to take on the East Tennessee State Buccaneers (2-1-0). The Mountaineers are coming off of their stifling defensive performance against Princeton, where they held the Tigers to only one shot throughout the whole match, a feat
the program hasn’t accomplished since 1994. “We’ve defended pretty well,” said coach Marlon LeBlanc in an interview with http://WVUSports. com’s Amanda Mazey. “Even in the first game against Seattle we defended pretty well. I think maybe six shots, seven shots on goal this entire season, and none in the last two games so I’m really proud of the way we’re defending. We’re defend-
ing as a unit and defense wins championships.” West Virginia sophomore midfielder Tucker Stephenson, the lone scorer for the team thus far, has come off of the bench to score the two game winners for the Mountaineers, showcasing the depth of this year’s team. “If you were to ask Tucker, he’s probably not happy coming off the bench,” LeBlanc said.
“But the young man has certainly embraced the role that we’ve given him. If he keeps scoring coming off the bench, I told him that we’re just going to keep bringing him off the bench. We’re winning games with the formula we’ve got right now and I’m real happy that Tucker’s embraced it.” East Tennessee State is making the first of three tough road trips against ranked teams as it makes
the trip from Johnson City, Tennessee to Morgantown. The Buccaneers take on the Mountaineers on Friday before going down to Chapel Hill on Tuesday to take on the top-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels, following that with a trip to No. 15 Kentucky on Wednesday, Sept. 21. The Buccaneers are coming off a two game winning streak over Appalachian State and George
Mason. “They’re a high scoring team and they’ve bagged a bunch of goals (their) last two games,” said LeBlanc. “So we’re going to have to be at our best. We’re going to have to be clicking. We’re going to need Mountaineer Nation behind us, that’s for sure. But we’re looking forward to playing at home again.” The match kicks off at 7 p.m. on Friday at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

Five Youngstown State Players to watch for BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR
1. Derek Rivers (Senior defensive end) Rivers is one of two FCS Preseason All-Americans on the Youngstown State roster, and it’s for good reason. His 14 sacks back as a sophomore in 2014 were the third most in school history, adding another eight last season. He also tallied two tackles for loss (one sack) against Duquesne last week, including a fumble recovery and a pair of hurries on the quarterback. Rivers is reminiscent of the loaded Missouri defensive line WVU faced last week, one that featured a potential top 10 selection. Although he’s not rated as high as Missouri’s Charles Harris was—who
failed to record a sack on WVU quarterback Skyler Howard—the Mountaineers understand his presence on the line. Http:// NFLDraftScout.com tabs Rivers as the No. 15 defensive end in the 2017 class for a reason. “One’s an All-American, this No. 11, (Derek) Rivers kid is a nuisance,” Holgorsen said. “He’s always in the backfield. Reminds me of what we had to face last week, so they have a guy who can get there.” 2. LeRoy Alexander (Senior free safety) Alexander is the second Preseason All-American on the Penguins roster following a standout junior campaign. In his first year on campus after transferring from Nebraska, he tallied a team-high four interceptions and finished with 67
tackles. Two of his interceptions came in his debut against the University of Pittsburgh—one returned for a score—helping Youngstown State nearly pull off its second upset over the Panthers. And like Rivers, Alexander is another prospect for the 2017 NFL Draft. He’s rated as the No. 23 strong safety (not free safety) in his class and could potentially hear his name on Draft day. 3. Jody Webb (Senior running back) Despite suffering an injury in the season opening 45-10 victory over Duquesne, WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen said Webb should be good to go this week. The former Toledo transfer tallied 96 yards on 11 carries Saturday, becoming the 19th player in program history to surpass 2,000 career-rush-
ing yards. Webb is only 5’9” and 175 lb., but his overwhelming speed makes up for his smaller stature. He was named a Second Team All-Missouri Valley Conference selection last season despite making one start. “This Webb kid, number 20, is fast and has made a ton of plays,” Holgorsen said. “I know he got hurt last week, but we’re anticipating that he’s going to be a go.” 4. Martin Ruiz (Senior running back) If Webb’s injury lingers and makes him unable to play Saturday, the Penguins have a highly capable No. 2 option in senior Martin Ruiz. Ruiz has piled on the accolades throughout his collegiate career, named the 2013 Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the
Volleyball heads west to California BY TAYLOR HALL SPORTS WRITER
WVU Volleyball prepares to head across the country for its next tournament on the west coast, the California Tournament, where the team will face the University of California, Berkeley, Santa Clara University and Grand Canyon University. The Mountaineers enter the tournament with a 3-3 record on the season. Cal will enter with a near perfect 4-1 record,
Grand Canyon with a 4-2 record and Santa Clara stands undefeated on a six game winning streak. The California Tournament will begin at 10 p.m. EST on Friday, Sept. 9 and the Mountaineers will first face California in their first meeting since 1991, where California defeated WVU, 3-0. A lot has changed for the two teams since then, however, and WVU will be walking into the match with impressive freshman Payton Caffrey who currently ranks
fourth in the nation in kills, averaging 5.25 kills per set. After taking on California, the Mountaineers will face the undefeated Santa Clara Bronco’s on Saturday afternoon. The match against the Bronco’s is slated for a 3:30 p.m. EST start. Santa Clara is currently ranked 19th in the nation, its first time in the Top 25 since 2014 and looks to move to 7-0. WVU will move on after they face Santa Clara to play Grand Canyon on Saturday at 5:00 p.m.
EST. Former Big 12 rookie of the week, Payton Caffrey, is looking to make some noise again this weekend. Caffrey was named WVU Student Athlete of the week this week. Also looking for more impressive stats is libero Gianna Gotterba, who hit a team-best of 14 digs in her last game. Natania Levak also had a teamhigh of four blocks.

Year and then earning Second Team All-MVC honors in 2014. Although he didn’t garner any recognition a year ago, Mountaineer coaches liked what they saw in the tape. The Florida native rushed for 739 yards and four touchdowns last season on a team-high 188 carries, alongside a pair of touchdowns on the receiving end. His all-around capabilities are impressive, and WVU knows it has its hands full no matter who steps up at running back. “The other back’s just as good, (Martin) Ruiz,” said WVU defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. “He’s a good player too. Their best players, I feel, on offense are their running backs.” 5. Avery Moss (Senior defensive end) The 6’3,” 265 lb. senior only adds to potent defen-
sive front for the Penguins. Moss, who joins Alexander as a transfer from Nebraska, has caught Holgorsen’s eyes in the film room. Out of high school, he was rated as one of the nation’s top 50 defensive ends in his class, choosing Nebraska over the likes of Arizona State, Stanford, Washington and a number of others. In the week one victory over Duquesne, Moss recorded a sack and also found his way into the backfield on numerous occasions. His two quarterback hurries also tied Derek Rivers for a game-high. “They have a Nebraska transfer who looks great, the (Avery) Moss kid,” Holgorsen said. “He looks the part and gets back in the backfield as well. They’re very sound. They don’t give up a ton of big plays.”
