Stadium gets cell signal boost

By Summer Ratcliff City Editor @SummerRatcliff

For years West Virginia University fans have had trouble keeping in contact with the outside world while attending football games at Mountaineer Field.

The large numbers of people attempting to access the cell phone towers have prevented most from having success when trying to make

or receive phone calls or text messages.

But when fans enter Milan Puskar Stadium Saturday, they may notice an improvement in the mobile phone reception in and around the stadium.

The WVU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has recently implemented the installation of a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) at the stadium for the 2013 season.

Michael Szul, associate athletic director for business and operations at WVU, said the athletic department decided to look for ways to improve cell phone service at the stadium to provide reliable wireless coverage for emergency communication and to ensure public safety.

“We had poor reception and cell phone service at the stadium, so we were looking at ways to improve it,” Szul said. “We put out an

RFP through the University; Crown Castle won and then the system was installed for this year.”

Szul said he has heard nothing but positive feedback since the launch of the new system at the WVU home football game Sept. 14 against Georgia State.

“This season is the first season the DAS system is up and operational, and so far we have gotten a lot of positive feedback on it,” he

said. “Crown Castle continues to fine-tune the system, and we will keep seeing improvements throughout the year.”

According to Crown Castle’s website, the DAS is a shared-infrastructure model used for expanding a wireless network by adding coverage and capacity in hard-to-reach areas.

The outdoor network consists of a central hub location to provide carriers

with pinpoint coverage that isn’t traditionally provided.

These systems enable multiple wireless carriers to improve coverage and capacity; therefore, the system does not limit the reception improvements to one particular carrier.

“These improvements are not carrier-specific,” Szul said. “It’s an overall improvement for everyone.

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY WVU to host sixth annual Gold Rush game Saturday by madison fleck associate city editor @mafleck

Milan Puskar Stadium will transform into a sea of gold Saturday as Mountaineer fans participate in the Gold Rush event for the game against Oklahoma State.

Gold Rush has been a tradition since the 2007 game against Louisville and was originally implemented by Rich Rodriguez for fans to show their support for Mountaineer football.

Matt Wells, assistant athletic director of marketing and sales, said it’s always good to have the Gold Rush theme for at least one game each season.

“Gold is our primary color, and I think it’s always a good thing to pick one game a year to have as a Gold Rush theme and encourage all of our fans to wear gold to the game,” Wells said. “I think it makes for a great visual, and it’s great support for the team.”

In 2007 the Gold Rush-themed games became a fundraiser for the United Way campaign.

According to its website, the United Way campaign is the only philanthropy to which West Virginia University commits each year, and the campaign, which is now in its 31st year, is the only charity allowed to solicit from employees on campus.

This year, the campaign runs from Sept.

23-Nov. 15 and has a $340,000 goal in mind, which is the largest goal the campaign has ever had.

“All the money stays local,” said Theresa Joslin, graduate assistant for the United Way campaign. “All the money we collect goes to our local United Way of Monongahela and

Local pro-choice groups rally for women’s rights

BY Jacob Bojesson Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

A group of approximately 100 people marched from the Mountainlair to the Morgantown Courthouse for a Stand with West Virginia Women rally to support women’s health rights.

A coalition of organizations supporting women’s rights and Planned Parenthood, along with students and people of all ages, chanted for their cause and listened to speakers.

The campaign had more than 300 supporters rally in Charleston, W.Va., in August and will continue with events throughout the state.

“We’re here to promote women’s health over politics,” said Margaret Chapman Pomponio, executive director of WVFree. “We began mobilizing after Attorney General Patrick Morrisey started attacking women’s health providers in June.”

Morrisey assumed office as attorney general of West Virginia in January and has started a “fact-finding mission” to sort out how the laws in West Virginia address abortion

Former NASA astronaut to visit campus today

BY PAige Little & Summer Ratcliff DA Staff @DailyAthenaeum

Every person has gazed into the night sky at least once and stared at the beauty that is outer space.

Some have probably even wondered what it would be like to be in space looking back at the earth.

Today, a man with a wealth of outer space experience and knowledge will speak to students, faculty and community members in the Mountainlair

Ballrooms about his time in space.

Col. Edward Michael Fincke of Pittsburgh has logged an astounding 381 days, 15 hours and 11 minutes in orbit around our planet.

Additionally, Fincke spent two days driving a rover on the surface of the moon itself.

Fincke was present on the last mission of the Space Shuttle Endeavour, working as a specialist on the flight deck and operating the robotics and spacewalker arm.

Like many students at WVU, Fincke grew with big dreams and high hopes.

Fincke’s story is a reminder to all that no matter where you come from, anything in your wildest dreams can become a reality if you work hard enough.

Nathan Tehrani, a senior physics and biology student and co-president of WVU SPACE club, said he believes all students, no matter their area of interest, should consider taking advantage of this once-ina lifetime opportunity.

“It’s not every day you get to hear from an astronaut, especially one as accomplished as Mike Fincke,” Tehrani said. “He loves speaking with and hearing from students.

“If you’ve ever jumped into a pool, you know what weightlessness feels like for a half second, Fincke experienced that for over a year.”

Cecil O’Dell, a senior physics student and WVU Astronomy Club member, said he is eager to hear an expert discuss the importance of space exploration

and why it’s important to the world.

“His experience and insight reflects an important part of the difficulties of space exploration,” O’Dell said. “Students should attend to get a first-hand account at why space exploration is essential for the advancement of humanity.

“I’m excited to gain understanding of what it is like to leave the small blue world we inhabit.”

Fincke brought a WVU flag along for the ride on his last flight on the Space Shuttle Endeavour, bring-

ing new meaning to the “Flying WV” logo.

This flag will be donated in honor of his friend, former astronaut and WVU alum Judy Hayes, during the WVU game against OSU Saturday and will be on permanent display at the Erickson Alumni Center.

Fincke’s lecture will take place today at 1:30 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms. The presentation is free and open to the public. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Hunger U brings awareness to international food crisis by laura haight correspondent @dailyathenaeum

HungerU visited West Virginia University as the fourth stop of its 19-campus tour across the East Coast to raise awareness about the global food crisis.

According to its website, the HungerU Tour visits college campuses not only to spark conversations about how today’s farmers are helping feed a hungry world, but also to educate the public about the critical role modern agriculture plays in food production and distribution.

The organization set up a mobile classroom outside the greenhouse on the Evansdale campus from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Thursday and today. Students are able to interact with maps on iPads and spin a wheel for prizes.

Malorie Bankhead, HungerU team member,said she hopes to engage students in conversations about world hunger.

“We hope our exhibit inspires (students) to want to take action, whether that is donating food to a local canned food drive of a student organization or donating food to a food pantry,” Bankhead said.

One in six people in the United States and one in seven people worldwide suffer from hunger.

“We are the awareness arm, and we’re hoping the action will stem from the conversations today,” Bankhead said.

This exhibit hit close to home for Christian Stevens, a junior petroleum engineering student who lived in Nigeria for 12 years.

“The fact that they have this out here to show us, ‘Hey, look at the world around you. People are in need – do something about it.’ It makes me happy to see this, but it hurts me to see my friends throw

away food and throw all this stuff away, they don’t even care about it,” Stevens said.

“In reality, people go days without food or water. When I was in Nigeria, I gave a kid an empty ice cream cone, and it made him the happiest person in the world.”

Stevens said she wishes more events like this would come to campus to show students what the rest of the world is like.

“People outside of the U.S. really appreciate this stuff, and we take it for granted. I feel like if we actually saw and experienced what other countries experienced, we’d

realize that we need to do something about this,” he said.

Camren Gerner, HungerU team member, said she enjoys hearing and sharing stories students have shared with her a.

“To see that ‘aha’ moment is really a great experience,” she said. “It takes one person to start a snowball (effect) work toward ending this world crisis.”

She said hunger isn’t a problem exclusive to emerging nations; instead, it’s a worldwidle issue.

“All stomachs speak the same language,” Gerner said.

There are many oppor-

tunities locally and nationally for students to get involved and help end world hunger.

HungerU is a project of Farmers Feeding the World, a Farm Journal Foundation initiative.

Team members encourage students to get involved with fighting hunger on their campus by organizing a food-packaging event or starting a chapter of Universities Fighting World Hunger.

Honors College Banned Books Week events come to close by alexis randolph correspondent @dailyathenaeum

According to Stand with West Virginia Women, many of the facts presented

by Morrisey are lies that go against basic science.

“He campaigned unfortunately saying he was going to attack women’s reproductive rights and now he is making true of that promise,” Pomponio said. “We want to spread the word that this is happening. It is a step-by-step playbook that they are using to attack all comprehensive women’s health providers.”

The protesters said they are concerned with what Morrisey’s reforms will mean for the future of reproductive care in West Virginia.

“The consequences can make it much more difficult for women (in particular) to access all types of reproductive care,” said Pam Van Horn, a Planned Parenthood representative.

plays, and the WVU Honors College and Sigma Tau Delta, which is the English honor society, both held several events.

Previously, the Honors College has held readings and discussions in different academic buildings.

This year, the Honors College held readings in several dorms around campus.

“Something I see over and over when we do this is that people look at the list and say ‘That was banned?’” said Ryan Clay-

comb, assistant dean of the Honors College.

“Some of the most seemingly innocent texts have been banned, and one of the impulses behind banning these books is that the person thinks, ‘If I believe it is not a good thing to read, then everyone else must feel the same.’ This is a dangerous idea; this is tyranny.”

Some challenged or banned books that may shock students include children’s titles such as,

“Where’s Waldo” and “Captain Underpants,” according to Claycomb.

Keith Garbutt, dean of the Honors College, read from the works of Thomas Paine. Garbutt discussed the reasons for Paine’s controversy with students.

Paine’s works continue to be banned from schools and curriculum to this day. “(Thomas Paine’s) work has been perceived as perhaps something you don’t want to show impressionable young peo-

“And by doing that he’s making it much more difficult to prevent unwanted pregnancies. I think he’s going against the very thing he stands for.”

A group of counter-protesters supporting the prolife cause were present in the background of the rally.

The counter-protesters followed the march and were quietly present in the background of the rally.

“There (are) lots of prolife rallies; it’s a chance to get out and say something about pro-life, to stand out when other people stand out about being prochoice,” said Andrew Hamilton, one of many protesters from the John Newman Church. “It’s just a retaliation, I suppose. I’m not standing for the politician but more or less the cause of life.”

University employees and student organizations have already contributed to the campaign, and donations are still being taken.

Oklahoma prisoner dialed 911 to report escape TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Prisoner Joshua Silverman passed up a taste of freedom this week and called the police instead.

Silverman could have fled with two other inmates who stole the unattended transport van he was riding in, but he dialed 911 and alerted authorities about the escape.

“Uh, yes, ma’am, you’re probably not going to believe this, but I’m a prisoner in a van, and I’m here with a couple of these other cats,” Silverman politely explained to the 911 operator Tuesday. “A couple of the guys that were in the

van jacked the van ... at the hospital.”

Guards from a private prison transport company had stopped in Weatherford, about an hour west of Oklahoma City, to deliver some ill inmates to a hospital. They left eight other prisoners, including Silverman, in the van unsupervised.

With the guards gone, authorities say inmates Lester Burns and Michael Coleman kicked out a partition in the van and moved up front, where the keys remained and the motor was still running so the prisoners could have air conditioning.

Burns and Coleman drove the van for about a mile before ditching it and fleeing on foot, according to police.

Silverman, one of six inmates left behind, was reluctant to escape. Still shackled, he somehow managed to get out of the van – perhaps through the kicked-out partition – and dialed 911 with a cellphone police believe he might have found in the vehicle.

During the nearly fourminute audio clip that Weatherford police released Thursday, Silverman struggled to explain the van’s whereabouts. Af-

ter the dispatcher asked for a specific location, the prisoner volunteered to walk to a nearby road to flag down an officer.

“We’re in Oklahoma somewhere. I don’t know because we’re not on a road and I’m not from here,” Silverman told the dispatcher. “I just don’t want to get shot by no cops or nothing.”

The dispatcher asked Silverman where the rest of the prisoners were. Five other inmates remained besides him.

“We’re all in the van,” he said. “Two of the dudes took off. The dudes that were doing whatever they

were doing took off.”

Silverman remained on the phone until a patrolman arrived on the scene. “The cops are right here!” he told the dispatcher.

Silverman was in custody on drug-related charges and being taken to Wisconsin on the day of the escape, Weatherford Assistant Police Chief Louis Flowers said Thursday. Wisconsin court records indicate Silverman was convicted of bail jumping, drug manufacturing and disorderly conduct during the past several years.

Flowers said Silverman’s

call Tuesday helped police narrow their search for Burns and Coleman, who were taken back into custody later that day.

“It helped us locate them a lot quicker,” Flowers said. “We didn’t know what direction they were traveling in and his call helped us” pinpoint their location.

Coleman was being held in an assault case and Burns for nonpayment of child support, police said.

All of the inmates were from jails in the western and northern U.S. and were being transported to agencies in those parts of the country.

3 transformers headed to crippled N.Y., Conn. rail

AP

Commuters wait Thursday at the Brewster, N.Y., station for the 6:52 a.m. train to Grand Central Station. A power failure on the rail line in the Stamford, Conn., area Wednesday disrupted travel for tens of thousands of commuters heading into the city.

NEW YORK (AP) — Officials announced a plan to supply partial power to a heavily trafficked line of the nation’s second largest commuter railroad as tens of thousands of commuters took to the highways and continued to scramble for alternative routes after a power failure disrupted service along the line serving the densely populated Connecticut suburbs and New York City.

New York-based utility Consolidated Edison was setting up three transformers to try and supply the needed 27,000 volts of power to a high-voltage line that failed Wednesday at a suburban New York Metro-North Railroad station, Connecticut Gov.

Malloy said at a news conference AP in New York City’s Grand Commuters arrive by bus to the train station in Brewster, N.Y., to take the 7:14 Central Terminal Thursday a.m. train to Grand Central Station. evening.

But it was unclear how many electric trains could be served by the transformers’ power, which would take power from lines in residential areas and step them up to reach the needed 27,000 volts, Malloy and Con Ed said.

Officials said they’d be testing the alternative power source over the weekend to see if it could work.

A second high-voltage line serving the trains to New Haven, Conn., had been out of service for two weeks for planned repairs, officials said, and it was unclear if its absence caused extra strain on the line that failed Wednesday.

Meanwhile parts of Interstate 95 turned into a virtual parking lot for much of Thursday as commuters facing hours-long delays took to the roads despite warnings that the problem could last for weeks.

“I’m the governor of 125,000 pretty unhappy commuters right now,” said a frustrated Malloy, calling the service disruption “a horrendous situation.”

The Woggles energize 123 Pleasant Street

BY NICK WESDOCK A&E WRITER @Dailyathenaeum

Georgia-based garage rock sensation The Woggles gave an energetic performance Wednesday night at 123 Pleasant Street, which warranted an encore chant from their fans.

The Woggles came on just before 11:30 p.m. in front of an already-hyped audience.

From the moment the band stepped on stage in their matching, baby blue, chef-style shirts, they did not stop rocking. The band jumped around onstage with the energy of a younger group.

“They put on a good show. (Lead singer Manfred Jones) was super energetic,” said junior marketing student Rachel Utz. “They get very interactive.”

Indeed, The Woggles did interact with the audience. At one point, Jones – also known as The Professor – stepped off the stage

with his microphone stand, jumped up onto a table, sang a few lyrics and then preceded to jump back to the stage floor and lay on his back.

Audience members loved The Professor’s stunt, crowding around him as they took pictures and videos on their cell phones.

“I love the venue a lot, and every show is special because of the people that turn out,” Jones said noting this is the third time the band has played in Morgantown. “People are always dancing and into it, and those are the kind of people we’re into performing for.”

The band played for nearly an hour, but within seconds of finishing their set, the crowd began chanting for an encore. When they returned to the stage, the audience erupted with cheers.

The Woggles played two more hard-rocking songs before finally calling it quits.

Nappy Roots, other local artists to perform at Rocktop

BY JOSH EWERS A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

A host of hip-hop acts will be making their way to Rocktop Bar & Grill on Chestnut Street in Morgantown Friday. Leading the pack will be Nappy Roots, famous for their hits during the 2000s’ including “Po’ Folks,” “Aw Naw” and “Good Day.” They’ll be teaming up with Ponce De’ Leioun, Boogie Boyzzz and special guest Jam Master J’Son. The lineup features half -hour sets by Boogie Boyzzz and Ponce De’ Leioun, and a one-hour set by Nappy Roots, with Jam Master J’son opening and closing.

While Nappy Roots found most of their success at the turn of the millennium, they’ve been going strong ever since. With their mel-

low beats, boisterous style and varied vocal tones, they hearken back to one of rap’s golden ages, before the advent of cookie-cutter beats under endless one-liners lazily strung together.

Never shy about where they came from, the Kentucky natives are Southern rappers in the truest sense.

The group, now a four-piece with the departure of members R. Prophet and Big V, has gone through its share of struggles, including leaving Atlantic Records to go independent.

Through it all they’ve remained level-headed. These seasoned hip-hop veterans have been touring around the world, have a multiplatinum album in 2002’s “Watermelon, Chicken & Grits” and even have their own legitimate holiday in their home state. It’s not of-

ten you can see an act with such a strong resume for only $8.

The other acts on the bill will do their best to get the bar vibing for Nappy Roots and are certainly no slouches themselves.

“The overall support roster excites me, because there is so much talent, and the artists are three of the hardest working acts around,” said Adam Payne of Music to Your Ears Productions.

This is especially the case with Jam Master J’son, who, true to his moniker, is the oldest son of the late hiphop legend Jam Master Jay and is an accomplished DJ in his own right.

“He is a very special act to have on board,” Payne said.

“He shares his father’s skill for taking over a party on the turntables.”

Immunity contest to benefit one contestant during Mountaineer Idol The third elimination round of Mountaineer Idol will take place tonight, and the theme is “Oldies.”

During the event, a fundraiser will be held in conjunction with the program’s student organization sponsor, Silence Hides Violence, which is dedicated to the awareness of domestic violence, sexual assault and rape.

Silence Hides Violence will be holding a drive for hygiene products during tonight’s Idol performance, which will be donated to the Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center’s shelter. Items such as toilet paper, paper towels, Kleenex, laundry detergent, women and children’s clothing, diapers, soap, shampoo, hair cut gift certificates, new or un-

used makeup, razors and umbrellas will all be accepted. The fundraiser does not affect the contestants or their scores.

Throughout the last week, a social media contest was held for immunity in tonight’s competition.

Each contestant’s video is posted on the Mountaineer Idol Facebook and Twitter pages, and for every like, retweet or favorite, the contestant receives one point toward immunity.

Students can continue this method of voting for a contestant to receive immunity throughout the end of the day. The contest will end after the last performance of tonight’s show.

According to Kelsey Montgomery, Mountain-

eer Idol intern, they’ve gotten participation from more than 2,000 people in this contest already.

The immunity winner will be announced at the end of the elimination round and will automatically advance to the next round, regardless of the score they receive. “(Attendees) can expect some great oldies hits as well as an exciting conclusion to our immunity contest,” Montgomery said.

“The numbers have been really close.”

The show is set to begin at 8 in the Mountainlair Ballrooms. To vote in the immunity competition, visit www.facebook. com/WVUMountaineerIdol, or vote via Twitter @ MountaineerIdol.

Royce J. and Caroline B. Watts Museum displays rich West Virginian coal history

BY JAKE JARVIS CORRESPONDENT @dailyathenaeum

The Royce J. and Caroline B. Watts Museum, located in Room 125 of the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering & Mineral Resources on the Evansdale campus, is an undiscovered gem to many West Virginia University students.

For 80 years, the museum has been dedicated to preserving and showcasing the culture of distinct eras in the coal and petroleum industry.

August marked the opening of a new exhibit “Outside the Mine: Daily Life in a Coal Company Camp.”

This exhibit features photographs and artifacts from the infamous coal camps that were an important part of Appalachian culture.

According to the muse-

um’s website, four characteristics of the coal communities are showcased: commerce and the company store, religion and faith, domestic work and activities and social time and leisure.

“Coal companies built homes, churches, schools and stores in the region’s remote coalfields to attract miners,” said Danielle Petrak, curator of the museum.

In these small, isolated communities, strong bonds were formed among the miners. By being tied together by geography, occupation, religion and basically every other facet of life, a strong sense of camaraderie was developed. Members of these communities found interesting ways to unwind after a hard day’s work.

International Festival to take place at Hazel Ruby McQuain Amphitheater

BY CORY SANCHEZ Correspondent @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University and the City of Morgantown will be showing different colors today with a diverse gathering of flags for the 2013 International Festival.

WVU is co-hosting the event with BoPARC and the City of Morgantown again and will be held from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Hazel Ruby McQuain Amphitheater and Riverfront Park in Morgantown.

Grace Atebe, the assistant director at WVU’s Office of International Students and Scholars, said that many locals will partake in the event.

“We expect to have 22 different groups represented with information booths,” Atebe said. “We have about 320 students that have confirmed to participate. They are from different schools in the area, within the county and some outside of the county.”

Anybody in the surrounding area of Morgantown is welcome to join and ask questions, look at displays or even try the food at the booths.

“Last year, there were tons of booths down by the amphitheater; it was like a shopping mall,” said WVU student Nick Amos. “I have a lot of friends from Oman, and they are all going to be down there handing out dates, so I’m really excited for that.”

In addition to the booths there will be a lineup full of activities. A dance, movie and fashion show are some of the attractions to be pre-

sented onstage.

Atebe said she hopes the festival will increase diversity and inclusion within the community.

“The only way we can understand each other, know about each other’s cultures and embrace them is to know more about one another,” Atebe said.

Amos said he also believes Americans should be familiar with the world.

“Americans need to know geography because it is better to be well-rounded,” Amos said.

According to the schedule of events posted on the BoPARC website, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. will be devoted to elementary, middle and high schools; WVU students and members of the community are asked to follow up at 1 p.m.

The final event of the day at 5 p.m. will celebrate the success of the international students with awards.

“We feel like the students really go out of their way to make sure they create time to be there and make sure they represent their countries or regions as best as they can. Some categories (of awards) will be for best performance, cuisine and information booth,” Atebe said. “We are expecting the deputy mayor to give out the awards.”

International students who were not able to sign up can still participate by supporting those from their country, culture or religious background, and the public is invited to attend and enjoy the mixing of cultures. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

boring underground,”Petrak said.

Margaret Dransfield, a theater student, said she learned about the ways they relaxed in coal camps at the museum.

“My favorite part was learning how children would take old mining equipment and use it for recreation,” Dransfield said. “This just shows that people will always find a way to have a fun time, even when life is tough.”

The previous exhibition, “Defying the Darkness: The Struggle for Safe and Sufficient Mine Illumination,” showcased the continuous evolution of mine lighting.

This exhibit was limited in appeal to students because of its specificity.

Because this exhibit is dealing with interdisciplinary studies like religion, commerce and Appalachian

studies, the museum expects to see an increase in patrons.

“I found the museum on accident, but it turned out to be really cool. It made me think about the lives of coal miners a lot differently,” said University sophomore Katie Boothby.

This collection will be on exhibit through July 2014, so students have plenty of time to visit for free.

Whether waiting for a class to start, relaxing after a stressful test or seeking inspiration for an Appalachian history paper, stop by and check out “Outside the Mine.”

The museum operates Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1-4 p.m., or by appointment by calling (304) 293-4609 or emailing wattsmuseum@mail.wvu. edu. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

New downtown Panera Bread opening pushed back

BY STEPHANIE MESSINGER A&E WRITER @Dailyathenaeum

The city of Morgantown is expanding their selection of restaurants yet again by adding the popular chain Panera Bread to the downtown area. Located on the corner of North High Street and Willey Street, the restaurant is sure to be a hit with students and faculty alike.

The opening date has been pushed back, and at this point, the restaurant does not have a confirmed date for the grand opening.

They now anticipate that the opening will be in early 2014.

Students and residents have been anxiously awaiting the opening of Panera, as this project has been under construction for more than a year.

Many have complained of the inconvienence of the road obstructions, but the addition of the restaurant is sure to benefit the city.

This new addition to the downtown area will provide West Virginia University another great place for students, residents and visitors to hang out and grab a quick coffee, pastry or “pick-two” meal while having access to free WiFi before rushing to class or work.

Because the only operating Panera Bread in the city is on Patteson Drive, the employees of that store are conscious of a possible drop in business.

“The new one might hurt sales for a short while when it opens, but I wouldn’t expect a huge change in sales,

because for so many daily customers it would be inconvenient for them to drive downtown,” said Nick Idler, a full-time shift manager at Panera Bread on Patteson Drive. “With the new store focusing on the student customer, it might possibly be staying open later.”

Emily Lutz, the regional marketing coordinator for Panera, is looking forward to the opening of the new cafe.

“This cafe will be unique in the fact that it will be a two-story cafe,” Lutz said.

“In addition, with each opening, we anticipate creating around 80 new jobs for the area. We have both full and part time positions available, including thirdshift baker positions that are overnight.”

With many college students always in need of a little extra cash, these jobs will be helpful.

Panera Bread is wellknown as a place for meetings, early morning study sessions or just a quick pick-me-up from the usual stressful environment students have and now that the fall semester is well underway and midterms are approaching, stress is running high. Many students are looking forward to the new location, as it will add to the convenience of their daily lives.

“I’m so glad Panera is coming downtown,” said Ellie Lawson, sophomore student. “It makes it so convenient to make it to Sunday brunch and homework sessions that my sisters and I have religiously.”

Students no longer have to endure the strenuous PRT ride to get their favorite

The construction of Panera Bread continues. cinnamon crunch bagel or cup of soup. Provided with Panera’s relaxing social atmosphere and ultimate refreshments, it will be a great asset to WVU. “I like going to Panera, because it’s a cool place to just sit and simply enjoy reading a book,” said Caroline Anders, a senior marketing student. “This might sound nerdy, but sometimes being a college stu-

dent is so overwhelming. I love taking time out for myself by going there to divulge in a good read.”

Addictive AMC drama ‘Breaking Bad’ to come to an end after five seasons NEW YORK (AP) — The supply is running low and you know there won’t be more.

“Breaking Bad” stands to leave its fans reeling.

For five seasons of wickedness this AMC drama has set viewers face-to-face with the repellant but irresistible Walter White and the dark world he embraced as he spiraled into evil. With the end imminent (Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT), who can say what fate awaits this teacher-turned-drug-lord for the havoc he has wreaked on everyone around him.

This is more than the end of a TV series. It’s a cultural moment, arriving as the show has logged record ratings, bagged a best-drama Emmy and even scored this week’s cover of The New Yorker magazine.

Up through the penultimate episode, “Breaking Bad” has been as potent and pure as the “blue sky” crystal meth Walter cooked with such skill.

Judging from that consistency in storytelling and in performances by such stars as Bryan Cranston (Walter White), Aaron Paul (his sidekick Jesse Pinkman), Anna Gunn (who just won an Emmy as Walt’s wife) and Betsy Brandt, the end will likely pack unforgiving potency.

But one thing is dead sure: It will be beautiful.

“Breaking Bad” has often been described as addictive, and if that’s so, the look of the show is its own habit-forming drug. Michael Slovis, the series’ four-times-Emmy-nominated director of photography, has been cooking up that look since the series’ sophomore season.

“I go for the emotion in the scene, not to overtake it, but to help it along,” said Slovis over

a recent lunch in Manhattan.

“With `Breaking Bad,’ I recognized very early that I had a story and performances that could stand up to a bold look.”

The action is centered in Albuquerque, N.M., which invites sprawling desert shots and tidy manicured neighborhoods; washes of light and jagged sun-drenched expanses.

The look of the show makes the most of its setting, and also the technology by which viewers see it: In an age of digital video, with the smallest detail and the sharpest resolution visible to the audience, Walter’s battered mobile meth lab could be clearly discerned as a speck against a vista of deserts and mountains.

And don’t forget the show’s visual signature: “Breaking Bad” was never afraid of the dark.

Slovis recalls how, his first week as DP, he was shooting in Jesse’s basement.

“Jesse and Walter are down there cooking meth, and I turn off all the lights and turn the back lights on. There’s smoke and shafts of light coming through the basement door and I go, `This is what I came to do!’”

“We have some interesting extremes in lighting, thanks to Michael and his fearlessness,” said “Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan from Los Angeles. He invoked the fancy artistic term for this, “chiaroscuro,” which means the use of strong contrasts between light and dark. “‘Breaking Bad’ has become known for beautiful bold lighting,” he said, “and Michael became an indispensable part of the ‘Breaking Bad’ equation.”

The imagery of “Breaking Bad” is second-nature to its viewers, whether or not they are conscious of Slovis’ work.

So when they swoon at the beauty of the desert outside Albuquerque, they may not know the complexion of this badlands was created in his camera.

“The desert on the show has a tonality that doesn’t exist in real life,” he said with a laugh. This color is achieved with a so-called “tobacco filter” clamped on the lens. “I don’t pay much attention to reality when I light or even when I shoot exteriors. But nobody questions the color, because it becomes part of the storytelling.”

You would have a hard time finding many stylistic links

between “Breaking Bad” and some of Slovis’ other credits, which include “CSI” (for which he won an Emmy), “Fringe,” AMC’s short-lived noir thriller “Rubicon,” and lighter fare including “Running Wilde” and “Royal Pains.”

Instead, he said he strives to let each project suggest its own look.

Now 58, Slovis is soft-voiced and lanky, with a head whose baldness rivals Walt White’s.

He got the photography bug while growing up in Plainview, N.J. He was invited to study at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

He imagined himself a fine-arts photographer but he loved movies and storytelling, and, after graduate school at New York Univer-

sity, he landed jobs shooting music videos and commercials, then got nibbles from feature films.

But in 2001 he found movie offers drying up, and, though he had never seen TV in his future, he gratefully accepted a call from the NBC series “Ed.” The timing was terrific. For decades, TV’s hasty, assembly-line production schedule proved an obstacle to giving a series its own visual style.

“Film had been just a way to record the TV picture,” Slovis said. A further barrier to getting too creative was the low resolution and squarish shape of the old TV receivers, which conversely had a negative impact on theatrical films, whose wide-screen for-

mat was forced to conform to movies’ eventual small-screen telecast.

Slovis hails pioneering exceptions such as “Twin Peaks,” “Law & Order” and “The X-Files,” and credits “CSI” as “one of the first times that cinematography became a real character on a show. TV began changing around us.”

Gilligan agreed that “the advent of flat-screen TV really allowed Michael’s work to shine in a way it wouldn’t have, 20 years ago.”

Now the end of “Breaking Bad” is nigh. But through Sunday’s final fade-out, Slovis’ influence will remain, capturing the “Bad” times you can’t turn your eyes from. He’s a series star who’s out of sight, yet controlling what you see.

WVU: more than its party reputation

Playboy released their 2013 Top Party School Wednesday, only a week behind schedule due to a scandal with the anti-rape activist group FORCE. Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly for some), West Virginia University ranked No. 1 on this illustrious list.

According to their website, Playboy editors chose WVU for the top party school based on popular party events such as FallFest, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and the massive reaction to the 2012 football win against University of Texas.

It is as though no other university has ever celebrated after a victory or had thousands of students go out to drink on the national drinking holiday.

These are exceptions to the rule and should really be reconsidered as viable criteria. Playboy should be concerned only if WVU students begin rioting and have an outrageous number of alcohol-related incidents regularly throughout the year on, say, random early weekdays.

It’s sad how much emphasis is paid to something as trivial as drinking alcohol and partying. Like it or not, this type of activity allows students to blow off some much-needed steam.

The amount of drinking

WVU fans lift a student in the air at a football game, the picture Playboy used to represent the school. is directly related to the amount of work college students are expected to complete for their classes, not to mention the internships,

part-time jobs and extracurricular activities necessary to get a leg-up on the competition.

And where are all the re-

ports and social media updates about the academic and personal successes of all these colleges? Most of the listed institutions –

op-ed commentary

and literary magazines.

These top lists should stop focusing on the various recreational activities at universities and look more at actual achievements that are a result of hard work and talent – although some may regard shotgunning numerous ice-cold beers as talent.

FORCE is doing just that. They’ve recently released their own magazine about sexual consent.

They’ve also announced a new contest for which students must encourage activism on campuses all across America. Not quite there, but on the right track, at least.

As we’ve said time and again, WVU has so much to offer as a school, and rankings such as these surely don’t do much to help our reputation among the other states and potential future students.

To truly get a feel for a school’s atmosphere, you must visit here, and WVU has a stellar reputation for being one of the friendliest and welcoming campuses to visiting schools. huffingtonpost.com But, no.

Women protest for their reproductive rights.

Women’s right to choose unaffected by religion, politics DERRIK WHITLOW columnist

The contention of Roe v.

Wade has long been at the epicenter of American politics and will likely continue for a long time.

Unfortunately, this is an issue with such a large gray area it’s hard to decipher what’s right and wrong. Issues such as a woman’s right to choose and a fetus’s right to life are both incredibly difficult to answer, despite strong opinions and evidence on both sides.

A woman’s right to choose is something that should be respected despite the moral qualms women face with such a big decision. In 1973, Roe v. Wade was upheld by the Supreme Court in one of the most controversial cases in the court’s history. This decision has set the precedent for abortion issues in the U.S. for the last 40 years.

The opposition has consistently been from the religious right and protested abortion on moral grounds, including the belief that life begins at conception.

The major issue with the notion of life at conception is there is no definitive scientific evidence to back up

such a claim. As a society, we must make a conscious decision on whether we are going to base a woman’s right to choose on religious notions or science.

If it could be decisively proven that life begins at conception, many who fall into the gray area of deciding whether they are prochoice or pro-life may very likely pick the side of life; however, given there is no such empirical evidence, the arguments of the religious right have no sound basis on the issue of conception. In essence, the religious right wants to give personhood to an embryo without any sound scientific arguments as to why that should be the case.

Coincidentally, there are even differences of opinion among monotheistic religions on the notion of an embryo attaining personhood. Jewish law and tradition does not recognize the embryo’s attainment of personhood but rather recognizes the entity as a part of the woman’s body.

Similarly, we must look at the counterargument as to why a woman’s right to choose is not only necessary, but pivotal in the overall health of many young women in America.

First of all, if a woman

does not have the right to make decisions about her own body, then she is the one who is actually less than a full person under the letter of the law.

Whether or not we have laws in place, women are going to have abortions.

What we must collectively decide is whether we want women to have access to a safe and sterile environment to have a clean procedure, or if we want young women taking these matters into their own hands and doing it on their own.

A counter to that may be an alternative such as adoption; while that is certainly a viable option in some cases, it still comes back to a woman’s decision to make a choice for her own body. This and other alternatives fail to be foolproof because of broken social work systems and misappropriated government assistance programs, but that’s another column waiting to be written.

Another baffling position of the religious right is its opposition to contraceptives. You would think common sense would dictate the more access women have to contraceptives, the fewer women will become pregnant and create less of a need for abortions

in the first place. Clearly, the religious zealots of the Republican Party believe otherwise.

There can be no doubt wherever you fall on the political spectrum, the issue is an incredibly difficult one because of the ramifications it has on all involved. Too often, every situation regarding abortion is lumped under the same tent.

Barring some horrible scenario in which the life of the mother is directly threatened, partialbirth abortion is murder; no ifs, ands or buts about it. By technique, the fetus is taken out of the woman’s uterus and is terminated no matter where it is in the developmental process. It would thus be very beneficial to have a sustained effort to educate the public on the different methods of abortions.

The overall health of women will only improve through continued education, and these programs are necessary to ensure there are safe options available for women to make these choices.

And make no mistake: women should be able to make those choices. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Researching the percentage of Americans who live in poverty, as defined by the Census Bureau, is not easy.

Depending on the source’s political leaning, it seemed to fall between 15-16 percent. Either way, that puts the raw number of people in this country who live in poverty at more than 46.5 million.

Why so many? According to Peter Ferrara, member of the General Counsel for the American Civil Rights Union, there are more than 200 federal and state level anti-poverty programs in the U.S. Surely all these tax-based programs should help end poverty in America, so why is the percentage not going down?

One problem is out of the 200-plus programs, only 30 of these programs deal with training and employment, leaving more than 170 government programs to help poverty-stricken people “get by.”

Of course, people in poverty need money to live. However, there are more economic benefits available to someone on welfare than for a person working a full-time job making $17,500 per year.

This leads to people passing on entry-level jobs in order to keep welfare benefits. This is a broken system.

So what should the government do? Well, they should end these programs.

Before you get upset, there’s an explanation. Let private groups run welfare. People don’t believe just any company will fight poverty in America, so the government must do it. A quick Internet search leads to a

page that lists more than 50 U.S.-based organizations that deal with helping people in poverty.

These organizations deal with everything related to money, health care and more.

Groups like these should fight poverty, not the government. These groups take an interest in the peoples’ lives, something the government failed to do. Sure, the government mandates people must go to job interviews, but they do not say they must do well. These private organizations go much further. They have interview workshops, and they will also call the interviewer and find out how well their beneficiary did and where they can improve.

These companies receive their funds through donations, meaning the organizations must do a good job in the public eye to get more contributions. Also, it drives them to get people employed in hopes they will donate back to the group that helped them get back on their feet, much like a WVU graduate donating back to the school. Because of the way the government funds these programs, taxpayers are not allowed to choose where their money goes. Privatizing welfare would give people more freedom with their money.

Making welfare a private institution will not end poverty. The way to end poverty is to get people employed and keep them in the workforce.

Democrats, Republicans and Libertarians agree.

But this will not happen if the government is paying people to remain out of the workforce. Private groups would not be this inefficient ; they can’t blow a budget like the federal government. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year there often are power plays going on around you.

The push and pull could become exhausting if you really get into it. The best way to win this game is not to play. An element of the unexpected runs through your work and those you look up to. If you are single, you’ll find partners galore, but you will only choose one. This year presents an interesting group of new people in your life. If you are attached, the two of you will enjoy having many serious discussions together.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Pressure builds to a level that might be difficult to accept, and you could become reactive. Avoid a power play, because once it gets started, it could be difficult to end. The unexpected

could affect your decisions. Understand someone’s very serious approach. Tonight: At home.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Listen to news with a more upbeat attitude. Someone might be holding back some important information. You won’t understand why, but don’t worry about it. You will find it out soon enough. Understand that much is happening with this person.

Tonight: Speak your mind.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You might be put off by someone’s controlling ways. If you are uncomfortable with this person’s behavior, you need to speak up. Observe what is going on behind the scenes. Understanding does not mean going along with his or her ideas. Tonight: Count your change.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH You are upbeat right now, so be careful that you don’t collide with someone who is very controlling. You might want to bypass this experience with just a smile. Knowing what you want from a situation will prove to be unusually helpful. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Take your time, listen and gather information. You might discover that what you judge to be a diplomatic statement could cause an uproar. It would be smart to avoid a power play. Not only will you be annoyed, but you also do not want to get caught in the storm. Tonight: Play it easy.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH You have good intentions. Be clear with a child or love interest about your limits. Establishing boundaries

will benefit any relationship. News – possibly from someone financially tied to you or a partner – suddenly might put a new slant on a matter.

Tonight: With friends.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH You might need to take a stand. Recognize that you have the ability to turn a situation around. The problem might be dealing with demanding people who don’t permit you to concentrate on anything other than what they want. Tonight: A must appearance.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH You could be in a difficult situation involving someone at a distance. Don’t demand that anyone act as an in-between, because he or she might not give you the whole story. You won’t need to be stern, but you will need to be open. Tonight: Look beyond the obvious.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Work with a partner directly in order to maximize your time. You could become very controlling with your finances, or someone around you could. Recognize that there are always limits to spending. Your creativity will come through. Tonight: A long-overdue chat.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH You could be more contrary than you realize. Someone you care about will open up. You will see life from a renewed perspective once you understand the complexity surrounding a suggestion. Avoid a difficult person, if you can. Tonight: Go along with someone’s suggestion.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Weigh the pros and cons of adapting to an uncomfortable situation. On some level, you might

just want to push this person away or cause an uproar rather than state your feelings. You could be surprised at the reaction you get. Tonight: Get some personal errands done.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Your immense creativity emerges and cuts through someone’s controlling ways. Though there could be irritation, you’ll avoid a major confrontation. Seeking out news from someone at a distance could be challenging. Listen to feedback carefully.

Tonight: Only do what you love.

Banned Books Week: A review of banned/CHALLENGED classics

Throughout this week, we will be featuring reviews of a variety of banned and challenged books in honor of Banned Books Week.

‘The Catcher in the Rye’ describes journey to adulthood ‘The Lord of the Rings’ burned Mitchell Glazier Correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Between 1961 and 1982, “The Catcher in the Rye” was the most censored book in the United States.

J.D. Salinger’s coming-of-age novel chronicles three days in the life of Holden Caulfield, the original grunge kid.

Critics and school systems have deemed the book “filthy” and deplored the use of words such as “goddamn” in literature despite the fact Salinger’s intended audience was adults. However, fans of the novel often relish in Salinger’s impeccable use of street vernacular to portray experience and feeling.

Beneath Holden’s

abrasive nature, Salinger weaves deep-rooted themes and images felt by all who have grown up.

School isn’t for Holden Caulfield, especially the posh Pencey Prep. After donning his red hunting cap, he decides to head to New York, his hometown.

Holden reveals he has had several opportunities to lose his virginity, but none felt right. That evening, Holden goes out dancing with three promising girls who all fall short of his expectations.

Throughout the narrative, Holden describes a frequent depression that descends upon him after encountering or hearing certain things. He even hires a prostitute to come to his hotel room, but upon meeting her, he loses inter-

est. The girl seems to be his age, and Holden decides he’d like to talk instead, but the prostitute leaves.

Holden demonstrates a remarkable sense of intuition. When he sees beyond the girl’s appealing body and is receptive to her emotional pain. He simply wants to understand.

After a few days to himself, he begins to miss his family, specifically his little sister, Phoebe. After reuniting, they pass a child reciting, “If a body catch a body coming through the rye,” which depresses him.

Throughout the book, Holden slowly sheds his emotional innocence.

Holden begins to think he must assume the position of “catcher,” saving children from falling from the cliffs of the rye field into

grim adulthood. Holden watches Phoebe in the rain, blissful on a merry-goround, and begins to cry.

While many write off this classic as juvenile, the high-powered imagery and themes, such as innocence and depression, are portrayed in illuminating ways. Salinger’s mastery of language still feels fresh, even on the palettes of 21st century teens.

If the true test of a novel’s importance is its ability to stay relevant, “The Catcher in the Rye” has certainly risen to that standard. While drastically different from other classics, such as “The Great Gatsby” and “Lord of the Flies,” this novel’s importance to society remains unwavering. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

DEAL DAYS of

Hot Smartphones at prices that won’t make you sweat.

“The Lord of the Rings” is indisputably one of the most celebrated and adored fantasy novels of all time, and its movie counterpart is widely considered a cinematic masterpiece.

It is primarily an inspirational tale about two Hobbits who were able to overcome the greatest challenge that ever faced Middle Earth by destroying a powerful, corruptive ring in the fires of Mount Doom, thereby saving the free world.

Despite the great message, story and characters, the book still antagonized some people.

Copies of the book were once burned outside of Christ Community Church in Alamogordo, N.M., because the burners thought the book and Tolkien himself were promoting Satanism. This took place in 2001. Other religious organizations have similarly protested the book, citing it as Satanistic.

Avid “Lord of the Rings” and Tolkien fans will know just how preposterous such accusations are.

Tolkien himself was a devout Catholic throughout his life and was very good friends with renowned Christian author C.S. Lewis. In fact, Tolkien once said the books were actually littered with underlying themes of Christianity, subconsciously at first, then consciously later in the writing process.

While never banned by any official government organization, it is somewhat eye-opening to realize as recently as the turn of the millennium there

have been religious organizations here in the U.S. actively trying to censor content they see as immoral or obscene.

When playing devil’s advocate, it’s easy to understand how those looking for Satan in “The Lord of the Rings” could find him there. Protagonist Hobbits, Frodo and Sam, are getting closer to Mordor or “hell” with every step. The pages of the series are filled with mysterious magic, giant fire “demons,” the possession of a king, undead warriors and even The Dark Lord.

Some religious groups even consider Gandalf ’s portrayal as a literary “Christ figure” who returns from the dead blasphemous.

Other clues that might hint at religious undertones were completely overlooked, and it seems to be lost on the objectors that these evil creatures and ideas are largely used in a negative context in the book. Sauron’s forces are hated vehemently by most of the denizens of Middle Earth due to their cruelty and pillaging.

However, whether or not Tolkien intended for there to be Satanistic themes in the book or not isn’t really the issue at all. The issue is in the United States of America some fundamentalist religious organizations still believe they have the authority to decide what our nation’s youth needs.

It is the classic free speech issue. People think freedom of speech is great until somebody says something they don’t like or don’t fully understand, then they conveniently forget the freedom exists.

NEW YORK (AP) — As Drake walks into the room, his body language projects an air of confidence.

On any other day, it may go unnoticed, but on the eve of releasing his third album, “Nothing Was the Same,” there’s a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

The mere mention of the record brings a smile to his face.

He describes it as “an album that you have to listen to front to back and then go over and listen to it again.”

That’s pretty bold considering that his last album, “Take Care,” won a Grammy Award this year for best rap album.

But brashness counts as a virtue when it comes to hip-hop stars. So does aggression and machismo, which some critics find lacking in Drake. Though he’s sold millions and has critical acclaim to go with the pop success, he’s frequently criticized as “soft.”

Many of the attacks center on his willingness to show his sensitive side, evident in songs like “Marvin’s Room” or “Find Your Love.”

“I’m just being me, and part of being me is being in touch with emotion. That’s all I write about. If I didn’t write about my emotions, I don’t know what else I would write about. I’d make songs about generic things that nobody could relate to and I probably wouldn’t be in this position that I’m in right now,” said Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, in an interview Monday.

Drake says he can “laugh off a lot of it,” but added: “Some of it is tiring and exhausting.”

“I’m emotional, yeah, I guess. Let that be the worst thing in my life, please, not something like drug charges and God knows what else. I don’t get myself in trouble, so if the negative feedback that

I do get is the worst thing that’s going to happen to me, then so be it,” he said in a slightly defiant tone.

Feeling that his sound continues to evolve, he has no plans to shy away from his signature reflective nature. On the record, he addresses issues with family and friends, even high-profile friends like Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne.

Neither performed with him on the record, but he claims it’s not personal.

“That’s my label, that’s my team, so whenever they’re ready to pull something together, I’d love to be a part of it,” he said, referring to his Cash Money Records mates.

On the 13-track “Nothing Was the Same,” the 26-year-old Canadian wanted to come up with a leaner set of songs, mostly because he concentrated too much on quantity on the last album. “(Back then) I wanted to give people as much as I could. I felt like I’ve been away for a while, and they deserved as much music as possible. It ended up being like a 20-song project,” he said of the Grammy-winning “Take Care.”

Drake said winning the Grammy in February was “sweet,” and he wishes it wasn’t the year the rap award wasn’t on the live telecast.

“I had a great speech to make. But I will have other opportunities, I pray,” he said.

Until then, he gave this award to his favorite lady.

“My mother is an incredible woman. I talk about her a lot on this album. She’s brought me to this point single-handedly,” Drake said, smiling.

“She’s the most important person in my life.”

“It’s in her kitchen now.

One day she’s going to put some shelves up in her house and start displaying some stuff,” he added.

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 27, 2013

JOE MITCHIN SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

WVU looks to change trend, rebound from shutout West Virginia’s 175 total yards in its 37-0 loss to Maryland was its worst offensive performance since 2003. Never mind the shut out (it was the first one since 2001, by the way) – it was only the sixth time this millennium and the 25th time ever the Mountaineers were held under 200 yards of total offense.

To nobody’s surprise, WVU has never won a game without cracking 200 yards of total offense.

But like the old saying goes, it’s time to put that one behind us. The question now is, how has WVU performed in the past the week after its offensive noshows? The answer is not very good.

If you take a look at the last six times West Virginia accumulated 200 yards or fewer, it has only won the following game twice. The 175 yards earned against Maryland was the worst the Mountaineer offense has gained since 2010, when WVU visited Death Valley and the LSU Tigers.

West Virginia gained just 177 yards in the loss. The next week? It pounded UNLV 49-10.

Now, let’s rewind the tape a little bit more. The year was 2007. West Virginia had a chance to earn a trip to the BCS National Championship Game.

The Mountaineers gained just 183 yards in the most notorious edition of the Backyard Brawl. WVU lost its bid at playing for a national title, but the next time the Mountaineers took the field, they beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.

Those were the victories. Now how about the losses? In 2003, it was another poor outing against Maryland. In fact in the 2013 Maryland game, WVU’s yardage was its lowest since this very same game. After the Mountaineers lost to Maryland, they lost the very next week to No. 2 Miami. WVU was upset-minded but couldn’t take down the Hurricanes, losing 22-20.

In 2001, WVU totaled just 172 yards in a loss to Pitt. There was only one problem with the team’s next game that year: there wasn’t one. West Virginia finished 3-8 that season, which was Rich Rodriguez’s first year in Morgantown. The team wouldn’t play again until 2002, beating UT-Chattanooga in Week 1.

Earlier in the 2001 season, West Virginia provided fans with another dud as it gained 173 total yards against Virginia Tech. This game was the last time WVU was shut out before last week. The Mountaineers, 2-3 on the year at that time, lost to Notre Dame Oct. 13, 2001.

The moral of the story is that West Virginia’s past lackluster games haven’t provided much for fans to look forward to the following week. If you take away the BCS win, granted it was one of the biggest wins in school history, WVU has really struggled to right its wrongs. Saturday is the next chapter of this saga,as Oklahoma State invades Morgantown. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

BOUNCING BACK

MEL MORAES/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Linebacker Jared Barber chases down Maryland quarterback C.J. Brown.

West Virginia defense ready for challenge presented by Walsh, No. 11 Cowboys by connor murray associate sports editor @connorkmurray

Looking to rebound from a 37-0 loss to its rival, the Maryland Terrapins, West Virginia takes on the No. 11 Oklahoma State Cowboys at its Big 12 Conference home opener Saturday.

The Cowboys come into Morgantown with a 3-0 record. Led by sophomore quarterback J.W. Walsh, Oklahoma State ranks No. 2 in the Big 12 in scoring offense with an average of 45.3 points per game.

“They have an athletic quarterback. J.W. Walsh has won a lot of football games …He’s savvy, he throws the ball well. He runs well, he

makes it work,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen.

A key to the Cowboys’ offense is the option game.

Walsh ranks No. 8 in the conference in rushing with 60.7 yards per game – he is the only quarterback in the top 10 on the list.

West Virginia has faced two quarterbacks with similar skill sets to Walsh’s this season in Oklahoma’s Blake Bell and Maryland’s C.J. Brown.

“They do a nice job with the option. I think the Oklahoma and Maryland games helped prepare us.

You cannot have two better games to prepare you for Oklahoma State,” said defensive coordinator Keith Patterson.

Junior wide receiver Josh Stewart will provide a challenge for West Virginia’s secondary. The Cowboys’ leading receiver comes into the game with 12 catches for 185 yards and a touchdown in three games this season.

For the Mountaineers to have a chance to upset the Cowboys, the West Virginia defense needs to pressure J.W. Walsh and force turnovers.

“Oklahoma State is a big up-tempo team, so we need to make sure we match their tempo. We need to keep being physical and start making a lot more game-changing plays,” said sophomore safety Karl Joseph.

Holgorsen, an offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State in 2010, said he and his team have a good idea of what Oklahoma State will try to do.

“We know a lot about them. Obviously, I was there a few years ago, we played them last year. Our guys are very familiar with them,” Holgorsen said.

“It’s one of the teams that they understand more than the rest of them. They are very similar to us on offense.”

West Virginia comes into Saturday’s game with a record of 2-2 and in need of a big win to set the tone for the rest of the season.

“We are sitting here at 2-2, with both of our losses

coming against teams who are undefeated, on the road and who I think are really good football teams. This week is no different,” Holgorsen said.

“That’s why we are excited to be in the Big 12 … to be in these kinds of situations. To play teams who have a national standing and rankings, we have to step up and get a little better this week. If we do that then we will have a chance to win.”

Kickoff for the West Virginia and Oklahoma State game is set for noon at Milan Puskar Stadium. The game will be broadcast on ESPN. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

WOMEN’S SOCCER

No. 18 WVU heads to Oklahoma State, Baylor by meghan carr sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The No. 18 West Virginia University women’s soccer team will open Big 12 Conference play this weekend when they travel to Oklahoma State and No. 11 Baylor.

The Mountaineers (62-2) will meet Oklahoma State (4-2-3) in Stillwater, Okla., at 8 p.m. and will face Baylor (7-0-2) Sunday at 1:05 p.m. in Waco, Texas.

The game against Baylor will be televised on FSN Plus.

The Mountaineers enter conference play leading the Big 12 in points (7.6 per game), goals (2.5 per game) and assists (2.6 per game).

This is going to be a tough weekend for the Mountaineers because of the caliber of teams they are playing in the same weekend, but senior forward Frances Silva said her team is used to playing tough opening conference weekends.

“Last year we had Texas Tech and Oklahoma State in the opening weekend; it just happened to be here, so it’s not like we’re not use to having hard weekends,” Silva said. “I think we did a good enough job in our nonconference to prepare us for this.”

Head coach Nikki IzzoBrown said after the opponents and adversity her team has already faced this season she believes they are ready to begin conference play.

“We’ve experienced a lot of mistakes early, and what’s very important is I can refer back to a lot of players that have been on the top of their game that we’ve already played

against,” Izzo-Brown said.

“I mean, you’ve got Maya Hayes, you’ve got Crystal Dunn. So, to experience that early on, at least when you’re teaching as a coach, you have moments you can show, moments you can experience and learn from. I think going forward with that type of schedule we’ve just experienced, I do believe it’s prepared us.”

Although the Mountaineers played against Oklahoma State and Baylor last season, they met them where West Virginia is most comfortable: Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

They have never played in Stillwater or Waco.

“We’ve experienced the teams. We just haven’t experienced the environment and climate. We kind of have an understanding of what Oklahoma State is going to do, and we understand what Baylor is going to do. We just have never been there and experienced that kind of travel. I think you’re uneasy about certain aspects of it and then you feel a little bit more comfortable about others,” Izzo-Brown said.

In 2012, the Mountaineers and Baylor played to a 1-1 draw in Morgantown.

This is a young team and Izzo-Brown said this may feel like opening weekend again for many of the players.

“We had Sara (Keane) speaking to them yesterday about conference play, and the experienced players I believe won’t have as many jitters, but I’m sure with this young team, there will be some. But I don’t know if you could have more jitters than playing the No. 1 team in the country, the No. 4 team in the country and the

No. 12 team in the country,” Izzo-Brown said. “I’m sure it will still be there, but hopefully we’ve covered that in our nonconference schedule.”

The Mountaineers are preparing for a hostile environment Friday night in Stillwater. The Mountaineers remember the shutout win they earned against then-No. 7 Oklahoma State and are certain the Cowboys do, too.

“From everything I’ve gotten, the school really gets behind them and they’re going to average probably 2,000 people at that game,” said IzzoBrown. “They have a kid of top standing that is leading the NCAA in scoring

just as Frances (Silva) is.

They have a freshman who is very dangerous, and last year that was quite a battle. We know that Oklahoma State has a very strong tradition and a very strong team.”

With the start of conference play, many of the players’ focuses are shifting to a new goal : winning their second Big 12 Conference title.

“We have a new mentality now,” Silva said.

“Now it’s conference play.

We have to prepare ourselves for the second part of our season that’s just as important, if not more important.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

MEN’S SOCCER

Mountaineers look to end three-game losing streak

MICK POSEY/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Sophomore forward Ryan Cain takes a shot during West Virginia’s 2-1 loss to Penn State.

by joe mitchin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia men’s soccer team looks to put their three-match losing streak on the backburner as they turn their attention to the Mid-American Conference opener against Akron Sunday night.

The Mo u nt a i n e e r s haven’t won since Sept. 13 and dropped the first two of the team’s five-match homestand. The road gets no easier, however, as No. 10 Akron will visit Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. The Zips haven’t lost the MAC regular season title since

2004 and have won five out of the last six conference tournaments.

Jared Embick is in his first year as head coach at Akron. He replaced Caleb Porter, who left the school after the 2012 season to become the head coach of the Portland Timbers of the MLS. Under Porter’s direction, the Zips finished as the national runner-up in 2009 and won the 2010 national championship.

Akron is currently 6-2 on the season and is riding a three-match winning streak. Seniors Eric Stevenson and Reinaldo Brenes lead the Zips with three goals each. Stevenson is at

the top on the squad with nine total points. “(Akron) has plenty of juniors and seniors on their team,” said WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “Probably three of them have more experience than my entire starting 11 altogether.”

West Virginia and Akron have met 12 times, including the secondround of the 2010 NCAA Tournament. Overall, the Zips lead the all-time series 9-2-1. Akron defeated WVU 2-1 last season in the schools’ first ever conference showdown.

The Mountaineers have been struggling to keep

opponents off the scoreboard all season. In just eight matches, West Virginia has given up 15 goals.

Freshman goalkeeper Brent Arnold made his collegiate debut in favor of Lee Johnston Wednesday night in a 2-1 loss to Penn State. Johnston started the first seven matches of the season.

“This team right now is questioning whether or not we’re going to have enough at the end of the day when it comes to the defending part,” LeBlanc said. “We don’t defend well enough.

We just don’t. So much of it is not whether we can; it’s that we won’t and it’s hurt-

ing us.”

The Zips don’t particularly score in bunches, but are the No. 3 offense in the league. Akron owns 10 goals in eight matches for an average of 1.2 goals per match. The team’s backline has been impressive, as goalkeeper Fernando Pina has allowed just five shots to hit the back of the net this season. His .59 goalsagainst average ranks No. 1 in the MAC. “We have to figure out why we’re conceding the sort of goals that we are conceding,” said midfielder Craig Stephens. “We need to figure it out fast because we have Akron on Sunday,

and we can’t afford to have these kinds of mistakes.”

Meanwhile for WVU, forwards Andy Bevin and Majed Osman continue to lead the Mountaineers offensively. The two are tied for both the team and conference lead with 12 points.

In fact, the two have identical scorelines of four goals and four assists on the season.

West Virginia and Akron kick off a new season of MAC soccer in Morgantown Sunday at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. The match is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

VOLLEYBALL

Volleyball takes 13-1 record on road to Kansas State by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

To celebrate 40 years of West Virginia University volleyball, head coach Jill Kramer and her squad will open up Big 12 Conference play against Kansas Sate tonight at 6:30 in the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers come into their first conference match sporting the best start in program history at 13-1. The Wildcats hold a 12-1 record with a perfect 4-0 away record.

“We have a lot more things intact this season. It’s different going into conference play and knowing a little bit of what to expect,” Kramer said. “We can see we played her last year and know what she’s like, and the same goes for us as coaches. We have a good feel on how these other coaches run their team. Having that familiarity is what gives it a different feel.”

WVU comes into Friday’s match on a three-match win streak after sweeping the competition at the Gold & Blue Players Challenge Sunday.

Sophomore setter Brittany

Sample notched her second Most Valuable Player award of the season at the tournament and is currently No. 4 in the Big 12 with 10.63 assists per set.

Sample will have to continue her stretch of stellar play without the assistance of freshman outside hitter Jordan Anderson. Anderson suffered a finger injury in the first match of the Players Challenge against Liberty and is listed day-to-day. Senior outside hitter Elzbieta Klein will get the starting nod once again.

There won’t be a lot of change from the K-State team that beat the Mountaineers twice in the 2012 season, the only two meetings in school history. The Wildcats return both their outside hitters and a solid middle blocker. Senior middle blocker Kaitlynn Pelger anchors the K-State defense and was the only player in the Big 12 to rank in the top 10 in both blocks and digs last week; she was awarded Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week for her performances. Pelger’s game isn’t strictly defense though – she also averages

the most kills, assists and aces through the first 50 sets the Wildcats have played.

Pelger will offer a unique challenge for WVU’s own middle-blockers, sophomore Caleah Wells and junior Evyn McCoy. Wells and McCoy ranked No. 2 and No. 9 in the country, respectively, for blocks per set earlier in the season.

“We will stick to focusing on the things that make us the best team we can be night-in and night-out,” Kramer said.

“We want to communicate well as a team and stay focused on our game plan.”

Aside from all the action on the court, WVU will honor former players before the match tonight.

“The girls have taken a big responsibility with this and want to make it special, and it can become even more special with the way our season goes,” Kramer said. “It’s really nice to have alumni come back and celebrate all the hard work that everyone put in. It will be a fun night for everyone.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

or about any of that. Our tournaments are a part of our preparation, so as we continue to go through tournament play in the fall semester, we will continue to get better, as well.

That’s really what it is all about,” Lisac said.

The Mountaineers will be going up against some tough competition as they battle Air Force, who have been winning in their first weeks of the 2013 season.

Other schools such as Wyoming, Colorado State, New Mexico and Northern Colorado have all played matches in 2013, which may put them at an advantage. Only West Virginia and Buffalo will begin their seasons at the USAFA Invitational.

“My goal is not to lose a game; it’s a really high goal. I hope we are going to compete well, but this is my first tournament so I don’t know how it’s going to look. I’m really excited to go and see how the competition is,” she said.

Although Mrgole sets her goals high, the steps to get there won’t be easy.

Each player will play at least three singles and three doubles matches. In singles, it will be two out of three sets. As for doubles, it will be an eight-game Pro Set with a 12-point tiebreaker.

Mrgole and freshman Oana Manole will make their debuts as Mountaineers at the USAFA

Well-traveled Pitt quarterback Savage settling in

AP

Pittsburgh quarterback Tom Savage drops back to pass.

PIT T SBURGH (AP) — Tom Savage is used to hearing people rave about his arm strength, to the point where myth has evolved into fact.

Asked how far he thinks the well-traveled Pittsburgh senior quarterback can chuck it, freshman wide receiver Tyler Boyd thinks for a second then throws out “80 yards.”

Oh, and he was serious.

When told about Boyd’s guess, Savage – once he caught his breath after breaking out into laughter – shook his head and said “No, I don’t think it’s 80.

I wish.”

The smile faded quickly as Savage tried to move past the benefits of the big arm that has led him across the country and back again on a nomadic collegiate career that is finally flourishing with the Panthers.

“Anybody can go out there and throw to a wideopen guy like Tyler,” Sav-

age said. “A lot of it is poise to play this position, just go back there and play tough.”

And hang tough too.

Once a budding star at Rutgers before entering two years in college football’s version of purgatory, Savage has found at home at Pitt. He tied an ACC record with six touchdown passes in a 58-55 win over Duke last week, the kind of day that seemed to validate his long journey back from obscurity.

Savage, of course, would rather talk about the present than the past. It’s hard to blame him. He seemed poised for a lengthy career at Rutgers after emerging as the starter early in his freshman year in 2009. He led the Scarlet Knights to a 9-4 record and a win over UCF in the St. Petersburg Bowl, a victory in which he threw for 297 yards and two scores.

A hand injury his sophomore year allowed Chas

Dodd to leapfrog him on the depth chart. By the end of the 2010, he was out the door, headed west to play for Mike Stoops at Arizona. He sat out the 2011 season under NCAA transfer rules only to see Stoops fired and replaced

by Rich Rodriguez. For all of his talent, the one thing the 6-foot-5, 230-pound Savage is not built to do, is run the football, a prerequisite for Rodriguezcoached quarterbacks.

Looking for a place to land, and running out of opportunities, Savage transferred to Pitt in 2012.

He sacrificed a year of eligibility for the chance to play for Paul Chryst. The Pitt coach has a knack for making the most of oneyear starters, look no further than Russell Wilson’s trajectory-altering season at Wisconsin in 2011 when Chryst was the offensive coordinator.

Chryst was drawn by Savage’s physical tools

and the fact there was no real heir apparent to departing starter Tino Sunseri. Savage was drawn by the laid-back coach who has a knack for taking the pressure of his players, allowing them to just go out and be themselves.

“It’s supposed to be fun,” Savage said. “He wants you to just go out there and sling the rock around and have fun with it.”

At the moment, things are as fun as they’ve been in quite awhile for Pitt (21, 1-1 ACC). The Panthers can put together their first three-game winning streak since 2010 with a victory over Virginia (2-1) on Saturday. Led by Savage and a pair of quickly maturing freshmen in Boyd and running back James Conner, Pitt’s offense is turning from a question mark to an exclamation point.

Savage’s 424 yards passing against the Blue Devils marked the fourth-highest

total in the program’s history. Not bad for a guy who hadn’t played in a game in nearly three years when he stepped under center in the season opener against Florida State.

The rust showed. The Panthers were competitive early but desperate late in a 41-13 loss to the Seminoles. Only there was no panic from Savage. He responded by completing 13 of 17 for 236 yards and two touchdowns in a rout over New Mexico before effortlessly guiding the Panthers past Duke in a wild shootout.

Savage hit Devin Street for a 67-yard score in the first quarter then found a streaking Boyd for a 69yard strike on Pitt’s next offensive play. Neither receiver had to break stride on their way to the end zone.

“He’s got touch,” Virginia coach Mike London said. “He’s got guys he can throw it to, and they can

run under it .

“That makes him pretty special.”

Even if Savage does his best to be just one of the guys in the locker room.

It’s not always easy. For one thing, the 23-yearold Savage is a relic compared to some of his younger teammates like the 18-year-old Boyd.

“They’re in eighth grade when I’m a freshman in college playing, it’s kind of bizarre,” Savage said with a laugh.

He’s kidding. While center Artie Rowell jokes there is some “locker room stuff ” when it comes to Savage’s seniority, it disappears when the Panthers are on the field. Out there he’s just one of the guys trying to lead a program back to respectability.

“He’s not too up, he’s not too down,” Rowell said. “He stays constant.

I think that’s the sign of a good ballplayer.”

Raiders’ quarterback Pryor returns to practice ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor returned to practice on a limited basis Thursday, three days after being knocked out with a concussion, and his status for Sunday’s game remains in question.

Pryor passed a concussion test Wednesday that allowed him to return to practice but he still must be cleared for contact be-

fore the Raiders (1-2) decide whether to play him Sunday against Washington (0-3).

“There’s still some hurdles that he has to clear but he was cleared to go ahead and non-contact practice,” coach Dennis Allen said. “He was able to get in there and practice some on a limited basis today.”

During the part of practice open to the me-

dia, Pryor did conditioning without a helmet and watched backups Matt Flynn and Matt McGloin run practice. But Allen said that Pryor put the helmet on later and got some plays in with his teammates.

Allen said he’d like to know as soon as possible about Pryor’s status and that he won’t speculate about whether Pryor will play until doctors clear

him for contact.

Pryor was hurt late in Monday night’s loss in Denver when he was knocked out on a helmet-to-helmet hit by linebacker Wesley Woodyard on a quarterback draw.

The play was determined to be legal by the NFL because Pryor was a runner between the tackles.

Pryor was cleared to attend meetings and have physical activity Wednesday and passed an additional test after that to allow him to practice. Pryor said Wednesday it was his first concussion and described the symptoms as mild.

But because of the uncertainty, offensive coordinator Greg Olson has had to design two game plans this week: one that includes designed quarterback runs for the more mobile Pryor, who leads the team with 198 yards rushing, and one for the more traditional pocket passer Flynn.

“It’s a few tweaks here and there really,” Olson said. “Obviously you’ll be able to add the option of some of the things we’re

doing with Terrelle in the run game. But to be honest with you, since Terrelle has taken over, we’ve done some of those things when Matt has gotten in and taken some of the few reps that he has. He’s done some of those things and he’s comfortable with that.

He’s obviously not the athlete that Terrelle is but as far as knowing when to pull the ball and when to hand it off, he’s good at that.”

If Flynn does start, he would be the 16th starting quarterback for the Raiders since the start of the 2003 season.

Flynn has started two games in his career when he was in Green Bay, going 24 for 37 for 251 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in 2010 at New England and then throwing for 480 yards and six touchdowns against Detroit in the 2011 season finale for the Packers.

But Flynn was beaten out the past two summers for starting jobs by Russell Wilson in Seattle and Pryor in Oakland. He was hampered in both training camps by a sore throwing elbow but the time off

since losing the starting job has helped.

“His arm looks fresher,” Olson said. “I think that jumps out probably to everybody. His arm is certainly much fresher.”

NOTES: DE Jason Hunter missed practice for a second straight day with a quadriceps injury. ... LB Sio Moore (concussion), CB Tracy Porter (concussion) and G Lucas Nix (ankle) were limited. ... The Raiders waived OL Willie Smith off IR after reaching an injury settlement. ...

Oakland announced Sunday’s game is sold out and will be broadcast locally.

TENNIS

classman on the squad, will also be sophomore Hailey Barrett’s doubles partner.

“The fall is pretty much just building on what we’ve been working on in the offseason,” Barrett said.

Barrett had seven wins in 2012 in both singles and doubles play. She will go up against Steph Catlin of Northern Colorado in flight “alpha”. Then, in the doubles tournament, Barrett and Chahal will compete in flight “alpha.”

As for Barrett’s personal goals, she would like for her work in the offseason to show on the court.

“I just hope to really work on my game and ob-

viously to get some wins,” Barrett said.

Lisac said he knows this tournament, or any tournament in fall 2013, won’t come easy, but he has the utmost confidence in his team.

“It sets the bar for us.

I’m very excited (and) the girls are very excited to be challenged at the highest level. I see a group of girls who are really ready to work and get better every single day,” he said.

“I think we can do really well. Practices have been going really well. I’m ready for this weekend. It’s the first tournament, and it’s exciting.”

Oklahoma State quarterback J.W. Walsh points to the stands as he scores a touchdown against Mississippi State in the Cowboys’ season opener.

Holgorsen recruit J.W. Walsh leads Oklahoma State into Morgantown for pivotal conference game

BY DOUG WALP SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

One of the biggest offensive threats West Virginia will face Saturday in Oklahoma State was first recruited by the Mountaineers’ very own Dana Holgorsen during his time in Stillwater, Okla.

J.W. Walsh, the 2012 Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year, completed 66.9 percent of his passes for 13 touchdowns and just three interceptions in his first season with the Cowboys for a sultry quarterback rating of 170.1. Walsh also ran for 290 yards and seven more scores in 2012, averaging nearly six yards per carry.

In 2013, Walsh has been even more efficient.

The true sophomore comes into the matchup

against the Mountaineers this weekend having completed more than 70 percent of his passes for 642 yards, five touchdowns and just a single interception.

“He’s a winner,” Holgorsen said. “He falls in the long line of Texas high school coaches’ kids. Being a coach’s kid, watching him win games with the intangibles he has, you can see that on the sidelines and in practice.”

Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy – with whom Holgorsen worked as the offensive coordinator for the Cowboys in 2010 – said that it was indeed the third-year West Virginia head coach who really got the ball rolling with recruiting for Walsh, now one of OK State’s most prized offensive personnel.

“We knew about J.W., but Dana kind of pushed the issue with him,” Gundy said. “His relationship with Coach Walsh (J.W.’s father) was really good. And from that point forward, when we saw his tape and his history of being a winner, it didn’t really take much to convince us to bring him in. But (Holgorsen) was the one who really pushed the envelope early.”

Earlier this week, Walsh recalled being first recruited by Holgorsen out of high school and the kind of impression the WVU head coach made on him.

“He was a character,” Walsh said. “People talk about his coaching style and recruiting. He was definitely a lot of fun to get recruited by and talk to, and I knew he was a great coach.”

Despite having a very

successful freshman season in 2012, one thing Walsh didn’t get to do was take the field opposite the man who spent a decent amount of time recruiting him to his current home at Oklahoma State. Walsh had a fractured right knee in 2012 when Holgorsen and the Mountaineers made their first trip to Stillwater as a member of the Big 12 Conference.

“I just missed being able to play,” Walsh said.

“That’s the biggest thing. I don’t really care who I’m playing against or who’s on the other side of the field; if I’m hurt and don’t get to play, that’s the biggest thing I was upset about.”

Another unique aspect to Walsh’s initial recruitment by Holgorsen was the fact that even though the sophomore signal caller has clearly demon-

strated his pocket-passing ability since his arrival in Stillwater, Walsh’s primary strength or emphasis has pretty much always been his capability to run the ball or extend a play with his legs.

That type of player doesn’t necessarily align with Holgorsen’s notorious “Air Raid” offensive scheme, but Oklahoma State’s Gundy said with Walsh, the coaching staff saw so many intangibles they were certain they’d be able to make it work somehow.

“That conversation took place,” Gundy said. “And we felt like with what we brought to the table as a competitor, we would find ways to improve areas that would fit our offense.”

Looking ahead, stopping the Oklahoma State offense Saturday will

most likely begin and end with Walsh for the Mountaineers.

West Virginia defensive coordinator Keith Patterson said one thing working in WVU’s favor is the fact they’ve already faced a number of very talented dual threat quarterbacks this season, including Oklahoma’s Blake Bell and Maryland’s C.J. Brown.

Patterson says that Walsh is actually close to a hybrid of the two.

“He is a mixture of both,” Patterson said. “He has all the intangibles. He is a winner. He has a proven record all the way back to high school. You can tell that he is a coach’s son.

“We have to keep him contained, try to make him one-dimensional. But I think we are prepared.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers must deal with fast Oklahoma State tempo

BY AMIT BATRA SPORTS EDITOR @BATRA01

With the No. 11 Oklahoma State Cowboys coming to Morgantown Saturday, the West Virginia defense will have to control the Pokes’ high-octane offense and tempo. Led by head coach Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State looks to be one of the quicker teams in the country.

“They appear to go fast,” said defensive coordinator Keith Patterson.

“They try to get around 20 seconds for each play.

We have a definitive plan of how we want to disrupt tempo. A lot of it is creative negative yardage plays. We try to match the tempo from a defensive standpoint.

“They do a nice job with the option. I think the Oklahoma and Maryland games helped prepare us.

You cannot have two better games to prepare you for Oklahoma State. We have a good tempo and vertical defense for the passing game.”

L eading O klahoma State with that tempo will be sophomore quarterback J.W. Walsh. Patter-

son has been impressed with how Walsh has such a unique game and how he can beat opponents in the passing and running game.

“I think with the Oklahoma game it is hard to find a quarterback who runs better than (Blake Bell) did,” Patterson said.

“As for Walsh, I am very impressed with him. The kid has size. He runs well but also throws the ball extremely well for a kid his size. I think we are prepared.

“He is a mixture of both (Maryland quarterback CJ Brown and Oklahoma quarterback Blake Bell).

(Walsh) has all the intangibles. He is a winner. He has a proven record all the way back to high school.

He is a good player. You can tell that he is a coach’s son. We have to keep him contained. Try to make him one-dimensional.”

Sophomore safety Karl Joseph knows there needs to be improvement in order to defend the Cowboys’ incredibly fast tempo, and the defense may need to have that big play to get the rest of the team going.

“We need to improve on a little bit of every-

thing,” he said. “We need to lineup faster. Oklahoma State is a big uptempo team so we need to make sure we match their tempo. We need to keep being physical and start making a lot more gamechanging plays.”

Other players such as junior linebacker Jared Barber said they believe that defending such a fast team is more of a mental than physical challenge.

“I would say it is tougher mentally than physically, personally,” he said. “Whether you make a play or not you still have to run to the ball, because within 12 seconds it is snapped again. We just need to know that what you take in pre-snap reads has to come quicker. So for me, it is more mentally challenging then physically.” amit.batra@mail.wvu.edu

DANA HOLGORSEN QUOTE OF THE WEEK “We are sitting here at 2-2, with both of our losses coming against teams who are undefeated, on the road, and who I think are really good football teams. This week is no different. That’s why we are excited to be in the Big 12 is to be in these kinds of situations. To play teams who have a national standing and rankings, we have to step up and get a little better this week. If we do that then we will have a chance to win.”

No. 14 Oklahoma travels to South Bend for first road test

BY GREG MADIA MULTIMEDIA EDITOR @DAILYATHENAEUM

No. 14 Oklahoma Set for Showdown in South Bend, Ind. On Saturday, No. 14 Oklahoma travels to No. 22 Notre Dame for the first time since 1999. The game also marks the first road trip of the season for Oklahoma Sooners’ head coach Bob Stoops. He said he knows this will be a tough test in a loud Notre Dame Stadium, but he said his team is in a good position because of the offensive system he runs.

“Hopefully we’ll handle it well; our guys know they’re going to be on the road a lot as we go through the season,” Stoops said.

“With our style and not

huddling, hopefully we’ll be able to handle it the right way. We don’t count on being able to verbally communicate anyway.”

On the other side of the ball, Stoops’ defense is preparing to handle Irish quarterback Tommy Rees. In the 2012 season when Oklahoma fell to Notre Dame, it was Everett Golson who called signals for the Irish. This season Rees has stepped in nicely for Golson, who is not with the Notre Dame program this semester.

Rees has completed 79 of 141 passes for 1,111 yards and eight touchdowns.

“You can tell (Rees) has experience,” Stoops said.

“He throws an excellent ball and has excellent control of the offense and everything they want him

to do.”

Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. in South Bend.

TCU, Boykin Trying to Get Back on Track against SMU In TCU’s Week 3 loss to Texas Tech, quarterback Trevone Boykin struggled to help the Horned Frog offense move the football. Boykin rushed the ball for more than 100 yards but also threw two interceptions.

“We thought at the end of the Texas Tech game, he tried to do too much.

We felt like we didn’t give him a good opportunity to flourish,” said TCU head coach Gary Patterson. “We needed more communication about how we did things. He kind of went into a buzz-saw when ev-

erything was going on out there – we should have settled him down.”

During TCU’s off week, Boykin was able to settle into the role as full-time starting quarterback. Patterson said he believes as long as Boykin protects the football, he’ll find the same success he found a year ago as a freshman.

“If he doesn’t throw interceptions, we’ll be fine; that’s how it was last year.

He doesn’t have to win the game by himself. He has great outside receivers, he’s got presence and a great arm. We have to make sure he just plays within himself,” Patterson said.

Defense remains a positive for WVU through four games

BY KEVIN HOOKER SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

While the West Virginia football team had its fair share of early struggles, a few positives can be taken from the first four weeks of the season.

The defense, for example, drastically improved from a season ago.

In 2012, the Mountaineers started eight freshmen on defense, which perhaps explained why the defense was historically poor. West Virginia’s defense gave up nearly 39

points per game in 2012, and ranked dead last in the Big 12 Conference.

Through their first four games of 2012, the Mountaineer defense gave an astonishing 130 points, which averages to nearly 33 points per game.

Up to this point, however, the Mountaineers average 19 points per game on defense, ranking No. 6 in the Big 12.

“I think it has a lot to do with experience,” said linebacker Isaiah Bruce.

“We had a lot of young guys, including myself, who played (in 2012) for

the first time.”

Bruce also said the embarrassment in 2012 was motivation to improve in 2013.

“In the back of our heads, we realized what happened last year,” he said. “(The defense) didn’t want to have another season like last year. We didn’t just want to improve but go above and beyond.”

While it was the defense that hindered the Mountaineers in 2012, it appears the offense are causing problems for West Virginia early this season. The offense has averaged just 18

points per game, which ranks last in the Big 12.

“At the end of the day, we’re all going for the game goal,” Bruce said.

“You can’t do that on one side of the ball, you can’t do it individually – you have to do it as a team. It doesn’t really matter how well (the defense) does, because we’re all trying to reach the same goal.”

Bruce, who switched to outside linebacker this season, has 13 tackles on the season. As a freshman, his 94 tackles last year were second-most on the team.

For Saturday, Bruce and the defense will go up against an Oklahoma State offense with plenty of weapons. Quarterback J.W. Walsh has scored five touchdowns, while throwing for more than 310 yards per game.

The Cowboys are known for their up-tempo, passhappy style of offense, and Bruce said the Mountaineers are prepared.

“We’ve practiced tempo in practice,” he said.

“When game time comes, hopefully (Oklahoma State’s offense) comes slow because we’ve been

practicing it so much.”

In addition to their passing, the Cowboys’ rushing attack could also pose some problems.

Oklahoma State uses several running backs in its offense and together run more than 175 yards per game.

“They’ve got a few more players than just Walsh,” Patterson said. “They do a nice job with option principles. We have a plan to stop the run, then we just have to be sound vertically in the passing game.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Clarke, WVU defensive line showing improvement in 2013

BY GREG MADIA MULTIMEDIA EDITOR @DAILYATHENAEUM

The West Virginia defensive line struggled to get to the quarterback in 2012. Maybe it was because WVU was playing in a 3-4 defense for the first time, which makes it tough for the three down linemen to get to the quarterback. As a unit in 2012, the WVU defensive line only had 4.5 sacks spread among just three players.

Through four games in 2013, that number has already been topped with six as a defensive line unit. Senior defensive end Will Clarke leads the Big 12 Conference in sacks with three sacks this season. Brandon Golson and Kyle Rose have also charted sacks on their stat sheets, and Dontrill Hyman and Shaq Rowell provide pressure on opposing quarterbacks, as well.

The change in production out of the defensive line has been drastic through the first third of the 2013 season.

WVU defensive line coach Erik Slaughter attributes the success to what the defense is doing scheme-wise. In 2013, WVU is playing both ends in shaded five-techniques, which allows them a greater opportunity to edge rush.

“We’re doing some things where they can attack more.

That helps,” Slaughter said.

“When you’re playing head up all the time, it’s not conducive, and it may be great

against the run but not necessarily against the pass.”

Clarke, the conference leader in sacks, said he benefits from playing in a fivetechnique, because he can use his speed against slowerfooted offensive tackles.

“It’s different from a four technique because you get pretty much a one-on-one,” Clarke said. “You have the opponent on an island, and you can do what you please.”

Additionally, defensive coordinator Keith Patterson is varying the defensive packages, occasionally having a fourth defender put his hand in the ground. Typically that is Golson’s role, moving from the BUCK to a rush end, which gives WVU a 4-3 look as opposed to its base 3-4.

On the field, that benefits Slaughter’s defensive line simply by making the opposing offensive line adjust their protection because of the varied look. Slaughter, who is teaching the same pass rush fundamentals as he has throughout his coaching career, said he believes that by varying the look, WVU’s defensive linemen are in a better position to utilize what he has taught them during practice.

“We’ve taught the same thing, but it takes a while to be able to apply it, and now I think we’re putting them in situations that are better for them to apply it,” Slaughter said.

The West Virginia defensive line will be tested Satur-

day against a physical Oklahoma State offensive line, led by nine-year offensive line coach Joe Wickline.

“Coach Wickline’s one of the best offensive line coaches in all of college football. I think he does a great job, his guys are technically sound and they’re physical,” Slaughter said.

With the additional challenge of dual treat quarterback J.W. Walsh, Oklahoma State’s offense will make the WVU defensive line think. To apply pressure on Walsh Saturday, toughness at the line of scrimmage will be necessary, as will discipline when WVU has a chance to make a play on Walsh, because he has the ability to get outside the pocket with his legs.

And he isn’t going to slow down for Clarke. However, Clarke has seen athletes similar to Walsh not only in his career but in two of the past three weeks. Walsh is similar to these quarterbacks but is probably more talented than Oklahoma’s Trevor Knight and Maryland’s C.J. Brown.

Clarke will draw from the experiences of both of those games to try to attack Walsh, the reigning Big 12 Newcomer of the Year.

“You can use speed, but you also have to watch for the quarterback run,” Clarke said.

The Mountaineers will play the Cowboys Saturday at noon. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
