The games continue: Week two Big 12 power ranks CODY FRIESEN
Spencer Sanders threw for 203 yards and three touchdowns in his first start for Oklahoma State. Sanders also rushed for 109 yards. Junior wide receiver Tylan Wallace caught five passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns The Cowboys will play McNeese on Saturday at 6 p.m. on ESPN+.
THE COLLEGIAN
The college football season has begun and each team in the Big 12 is still undefeated going into week two. From coaching debuts to similar faces in different places, week one was action-packed.
10. THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS (NR)
There are still ‘Miles to go’ in Lawrence despite a 2417 win over Indiana State on Saturday. The Jayhawk defense picked up the offense several times during the game including a pick-six by senior cornerback Hasan Defense and recorded three sacks. Senior quarterback Carter Stanley threw for 241 yards and two touchdowns. Stanley’s favorite receiver in Saturday was junior wide receiver Andrew Parchment who caught eight passes for 121 yards. Former All-Big 12 running back sophomore Pooka Williams will be back in action after a suspension this week but will see limited action this weekend. The Jayhawks will square off against Coastal Carolina under the lights in Lawrence on Saturday at 6 p.m. on ESPN+ in a game where KU is the seven-point favorite.
9. WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY (NR)
The Mountaineers struggled against James Madison but managed to secure a 20-13 win on Saturday. Oklahoma transfer junior Austin Kendall threw for 260 yards and two touchdowns in the victory. Sophomore linebacker Josh Chandler recorded 14 tackles, nine of which were solo against the Dukes. West Virginia is another team that lost a significant amount of talent in the last year, so it will be interesting to see how the Mountaineers respond. The Mountaineers will play against Missouri on Saturday at 11 a.m. on ESPN2. Missouri enters the game as a 13.5 point favorite.
2. UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS (NO. 10)

K-State fans cheer on their football team during their game against Nicholls in Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Aug. 31, 2019. The Wildcats took the Colonels 49-14.
8. TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY (RV)
TCU played a solid game against on Saturday in a 39-7 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Former K-State senior quarterback Alex Delton went 10 for 22 for 119 yards but led the team in rushing with seven carries for 67 yards. Freshman quarterback Max Duggan threw for 165 yards and one touchdown. Senior wide receiver TreVontae Hights had eight receptions for 108 yards. The running core ran for 200 yards and two touchdowns. TCU played a solid game, but not necessarily good enough to receive votes. The Horned Frogs will have a week off before going on the road to face Purdue in week three.
7. KANSAS STATE (NR)
The Wildcats played a
near-perfect game last Saturday in a 49-14 win over Nicholls in the debut of head coach Chris Klieman. The Wildcats put up 573 yards of total offense and were never forced to punt the entire game. Junior quarterback Skylar Thompson threw for 212 yards and one touchdown. K-State ran the ball exceptionally well and rushed for 361 yards and five touchdowns by individual Wildcats. K-State will play Bowling Green at home on Saturday at 11 a.m. of the Fox Sports Network. K-State enters the game as 23.5 point favorites.
6. TEXAS TECH (NR)
Texas Tech took care of business in a 45-10 victory over Montana State on Saturday. Sophomore quarterback Alan Bowman was lights out throwing for 436 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore wide receiver Xavier White received for 107 yards and one touchdown. The
Red Raiders rushed for 255 yards and four touchdowns in the win. The Red Raiders are 34 point favorites in a matchup with UTEP on Saturday at 7 p.m. on the Fox Sports Network.
5. BAYLOR (NR)
Baylor dominated Stephen F. Austin 56-17 on Saturday in a game where junior quarterback Charlie Brewer threw for 199 yards and three touchdowns. Sophomore wide receiver R.J. Sneed had five receptions for 57 yards and two touchdowns. The Bears defense recorded three sacks and one interception in the win. The Bears face off against the University of Texas at San Antonio Roadrunners on Saturday at 3 p.m. on the Fox Sports Network.
4. IOWA STATE (NR)
Iowa State struggled against Northern Iowa to take a 29-26 win on Saturday.
Sophomore quarterback Brock Purdy threw for 278 yards with two touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Deshaunte Jones carried the Cyclone receiving core with 14 catches for 126 yards. Senior wide receiver La’Michael Pettway was the target in the red zone and had three catches for 26 yards and two touchdowns. The Cyclones may have lost the most talent in the Big 12, and it will be interesting to see how Iowa State bounces back. The Cyclones have a week off before battling in-state rival Iowa on Sept. 14.
3. OKLAHOMA STATE (RV)
Oklahoma State dominated Oregon State 52-36 in week one. Sophomore running back Chuba Hubbard tore apart the Oregon State defense picking up 221 yards and three touchdowns. Freshman quarterback
Texas took care of business in week one with a 45-14 win over Lousiana Tech. Junior quarterback Sam Ehlinger threw for 276 yards and four touchdowns. Sophomore running back Keaontay Ingram rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown. Sophomore wide receiver Brennan Eagles scored two touchdowns with 59 receiving yards. Texas has the most exciting game in the Big 12 with a matchup with LSU in primetime on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. on ABC. The Longhorns will enter the matchup as a six-and-ahalf point underdogs.
1. UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA (NO. 4)
The Sooners dominated offensively in grad transfer quarterback Jalen Hurt’s first game as the starter for Oklahoma. They won against Houston, 49-31. There is a strong possibility that Hurts could be the Heisman frontrunner which would be the third consecutive starting quarterback at Oklahoma to win the Heisman. Not a bad rep because Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray are now the faces of the franchise of their respective teams. Hurts threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 176 yards with three touchdowns. The Sooners are going to be tough to beat, but their defense did look vulnerable at times. Junior linebacker Kenneth Murray led the defense with 13 tackles, 7 of which were solo and half a sack. The Sooners will play South Dakota on Saturday at 6 p.m.

What you need to know ahead of the game against Bowling Green NATHAN ENSERRO THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State football team rolls off a 49-14 domination of Nicholls State last Saturday into a home date with the Mid-American Conference’s Bowling Green Falcons. Like head coach Chris Klieman, Bowling Green’s head coach is in his first season at his school. Scot Loeffler’s comes to Bowling Green after being the offensive coordinator at Boston College. Bowling Green dispatched FCS Morgan State with relative ease last Thursday. They put up 620 yards and 37 first downs on
their way to a 46-3 win. Bowling Green's offense is an interesting take on the power runtype schemes that K-State is using this season, except they run it in a hurry-up, no-huddle style. They love to line up with one running back and two tight ends — called 12 personnel — and run the ball behind the seven blockers. They rarely needed to go five-wide last week and opted to stay in 12 or 11 (one running back, one tight end) on traditional passing downs. Junior running back Andrew Clair and senior running back Davon Jones are the two main backs in the offense, providing 87 and 76 yards last week respective-
ly.
At quarterback, senior Darius Wade will be the starter. He is a highly mobile, left-handed quarterback, but he is not the world’s most accurate passer and he is a little quick break the pocket and scramble. They mostly use play-action in the passing game and like to get Wade rolling out off the run fake. He is decent on the run and is more than capable of tucking the ball to pick up yardage if no one is open. K-State’s junior defensive back AJ Parker indicated that the Wildcat defense practices against high-tempo all the time. It will be interesting to see how the defense
wears down as the game progresses because of the combination of physical play and speed.

Football looks to bring last week’s energy against Bowling Green CODY FRIESEN
THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State Wildcats are coming off the largest margin of victory for a coach's debut in school history, and there are plenty of reasons that the 49-14 win over Nicholls State could be overlooked. The topic among players during the weekly press conference on Tuesday was whether the team can follow up that style of play again next Saturday against a team from the FCS Division 1 upper-tier Mississippi State. "Nobody can say that [playing an FCS opponent is unimpressive] anymore," head coach Chris Klieman said. "And I have
to be honest with you: I don’t think that’s said anymore. I really don’t." K-State proved that they were well prepared for Nicholls in all phases of the game on Saturday. The offensive line was the unsung star of the match. The Wildcat offense racked up 573 total yards for a net total 361 years with five touchdowns in the ground game. "We had a successful game one, but like always you have to find ways to improve and build upon what we were able to do," Holtorf said. The season opener always holds more hype and anticipation, but Holtorf explained his expectation for the team going into Sat-
urday's matinee matchup. "I wouldn't say that there is a concern about it, but there is an emphasis on making sure that, that was a night game, the first game of the season," Holtorf said. "Now this is an 11'o'clock game so making sure everyone is still as locked in and as focused as they were last week so we can replicate that energy and enthusiasm." The K-State held the ball for 41 minutes, or nearly 68 percent of the game, which gave K-State fans some excitement, but it keeps the defense fresh going into game two. The K-State defense also dominated the few times that they were on the field. "That's a good problem to have," sophomore defensive end
Wyatt Hubert said of playing few defensive snaps in week one. "Every time we step on the field the mentality and what we expect from ourselves is to go three [downs] and out and that was something that kept happening," Hubert said. The Wildcat defense was not on the field for long, but competed when they had their opportunity. "At the time we didn't realize we were utterly on the field for 19 of the 60 minutes, but like I said, it's a good problem to have," Hubert said. Klieman and his team will have a lot of these questions to answer as the Wildcats will go on the road next week for the first time against a Power Five oppo-

Students react to Nicholls win: ‘Klieman went above expectations’ ADAM MEYER
THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State football team took care of business in game one of the 2019 season on Saturday as they defeated Nicholls State 49-14. Two students at the game — Carson Avery, sophomore in industrial engineering, and Logan Schultz, sophomore in political science, gave their reactions to the blowout win. Avery said he thought Klieman’s K-State coaching debut

The Wildcats should focus on stopping the run and getting plenty of rest for their defense. K-State’s ball-control offense should be an asset in this situ-
was exceptional. “It was cool to see us win,” Avery said. “Klieman went above expectations in his first game. I don’t think we really knew what to expect in the first game, and I would say our performance was better than most people expected.” Schultz said he was really impressed with redshirt junior quarterback Skylar Thompson’s performance. He completed 16 of 22 passes for 212 yards and one touchdown. “The balls [Skylar Thompson] threw were real nice,” Schultz said. “He looks really ation if they can sustain long drives to give the defense rest. The defense on display last week from Bowling Green was a pretty standard 4-3. It is a new scheme from what they played last year with a new coordinator, which is a good thing for the Falcons because they were 125th out of 130 teams in points given up last season.
confident, and that is a great thing. This year that is what we need of him and it’s a great sign that we saw that out of him.” Schultz also had words to say on what he thought of the team performance as a whole. “We beat a team by a lot that we should have beat by a lot,” Schultz said. “It was known that Nicholls is a team that we should handily defeat and that is what we went out on the field and did.” Up next on Saturday, the Wildcats play Bowling Green at 11 a.m. at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. PREDICTION: I think Bowling Green is less of a challenger than Nicholls was last week, but I worry about the style matchup. I think K-State has the athletes to impose their will on Bowling Green in much the same way as they did against Nicholls. K-State covers the 23.5-point spread winning 55-17.

Rewriting history: French class translates WWI soldier’s diary EMMA WITTER
THE COLLEGIAN
In French 720, students are working to translate the diary of an unknown French World War I soldier, a project that French professor Kathleen Antonioli said will progress over the course of the semester. In the French translation class, Antonioli said she typically chooses to have students translate a document from the collections in K-State Libraries. This semester, that wasn’t an option. “My first thought was to translate something from K-State,” Antonioli said. “Then, the library burned down.” The diary being translated comes instead from the National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri. Although the diary has been digitized and is available online through the museum website, it has never been translated before. “[The museum] said that they’d be really interested in finding out what’s in the diary, and so we’re going to work on translating it,” Antonioli said. Mike Vietti, director of marketing, communications and guest services at the museum, said the museum appreciates the efforts made by the class to share the diary with a greater number of people. The diary is the first part of a three-volume set, the middle of which is listed as lost by the museum. Antonioli said she plans to eventually see both known volumes translated. “The first volume is 74 handwritten pages, so I don’t anticipate that we’ll do both volumes this semester, but we might be able to get through the first volume,” she said. “We’ll see.” Less than two full weeks into the semester, French 720 students are already excited
about the translation project. Kiara O’Dea, fifth-year senior in secondary education, French and international studies, said that while translating the diary proved to be difficult early on, it is fascinating. “I think it’s really cool that we’re going to be the first people to actually understand what’s going on in the text,” she said. The process of translating a hand-written document can be more in-depth than a document that is already typed out or digitized. “It’s a handwritten diary, so the first thing we actually have to do is read the handwriting and type that out, which is not easy,” Antonioli said. “It’s literally 100 years old, and French handwriting is different, so that’s really the first step: transcribing the handwriting and then translating that into English.” While O’Dea said the classroom environment has been positive and full of laughs so far, she also said there has been one point of contention between the students and their professor: the author’s penmanship. “He has really lovely
been the most difficult part of the translation process so far. “[The diary] is written in cursive which nobody really uses anymore,” she said. “Yes, it’s super well-written, but the style is different than what I’ve been used to, so figuring out things like what’s a ‘P’ versus a ‘J’ has been really interesting and a lot of guesswork.” Another component of the journal that O’Dea has been surprised by is the tone of the author. “I wasn’t expecting [the diary] to be as aggressive as it is,” O’Dea said. “Already on the first page of the diary, he says, ‘I want to go to war to kill as many Germans as possible.’ “It’s really interesting because we’ve had to find English translations for what are essentially racial slurs against Germans. It was weird at first to be using them, even in the academic context of the class, but we have to use them in translation because we want to be true to the text.” The author of the diary was a volunteer soldier who began in the 5th Battalion in 1914 and quickly moved up in ranks to the tenth. Apart from

handwriting, so I find it really readable,” Antonioli said. However, some of her students disagree. O’Dea said that, for her, decoding the handwriting has
this information, the author’s identity remains unknown. O’Dea said she is excited to learn as much as she can about the French soldier. “We know that the diary

The translating is a bit more slow-going. “For now, I can tell you that there’s this really interesting first page,” Antonioli said, “but we don’t really know what’s going to happen with it. It could be that at the end of the semester we’ll know more.” Antonioli said the lessons learned throughout this process transcend one semes-
ter-long project. “One of the things I’m hoping [students will] get out of it is learning how to be an effective translator, so that if some day they want to do either paid or volunteer work,
they’d be able to do a reasonably good job,” she said. “With the diary specifically, one of my goals for us is to identify a need in the community and to be able to help an organization fill that need.”

Placenta for pets: Student studies viability of organ-based pet food HANNAH MARKEL THE COLLEGIAN
Within the last decade, a controversial, and somewhat odd, medical trend has been on the rise — a practice called placentophagy. This is when a woman chooses to preserve, and later consume, the placenta post-childbirth for its alleged nutritional benefits. Placental encapsulation is the most common method of practicing placentophagy in the U.S.
This process involves freeze-drying the placenta and processing it into pill capsules. Chelsea Werdel, senior in entrepreneurship performing her own research on placentophagy, said she has had little luck finding credible studies to support this method. “I know that women are taking their placenta in pill form, but it’s really hard to, and I haven’t found any peer-reviewed papers saying it’s really doing them any good,” she said. “A lot of the nutrients are being lost whenever

see our dogs eat the placentas [of the cattle] and their hair would get beautiful and shiny, and they would get a little chubby too, so we obviously thought there must be something in the placenta that was good for them,” Werdel said. “It’s basically a waste if our dogs don’t get it because coyotes will come in and get it or some farmers will toss it.” Werdel said it wasn’t until she applied to the K-State Startup School that someone told her she should follow up on her idea
— and she chose to use it as her business idea for the school. “I started talking about it with one of the [business] professors ... and they were like, ‘hey, that actually is a neat idea, that could be something you could pursue in the future,’” she said. Werdel said the Startup School is a three-week program that trains students to start their own businesses. She said she ran her idea through the program with the goal of finding out whether it

K-State Gardens offer natural respite from campus limestone TRISTAN ANDERSON THE COLLEGIAN
The Gardens at Kansas State University sit quietly on the edge of campus, decorated with colorful flowers and open from dawn to dusk in the spring and summer for students, faculty and the public. “It’s a nice empty area to have around to distract us from the dull, empty void that is our lives,” said Bryce Freeman, junior in mechanical engineering. The K-State Gardens, located north of Throckmorton Hall on Denison Avenue, are composed of three specialty gardens and four plant collections that offer a diverse mix of many plants and flowers. According to the K-State Gardens’s website, they were established as a “learning lab and as an educational resource” for students and for the visiting public. The Gardens will eventually cover 19 acres and is designed to show the hardscape as well as the aesthetic of plants in a different setting. It is developed and maintained by the Department of Horticulture and Natural Resources. Students from other departments, such as interior design and engineering, will
have a role in the Gardens’s development. The Gardens date back to 1871, according to the history webpage. In the earlier years, many samples of plants and trees were donated to K-State for the arboretum which grew to contain over 4,000 samples at its peak, representing 700 different species. Decades later, the garden, arboretum and the plants greatly reduced as campus continued to develop and build. In 1927, professor Leon Reed Quinlan established a rose garden, but it wasn’t until 1993 that plans for a revamp of the Gardens started. The first director of the Gardens, Scott McElwain, was hired in 1997 and K-State began to develop gorgeous and refined gardens. Today, the Gardens offer a variety of events such as guided tours, weddings and receptions. The Gardens are also a relaxing date location. “I once took my girlfriend on a date there and it was lovely,” Jacob Edelman-Dolan, senior in theater, said. “We had a wonderful time walking through the flowers, enjoying the fountain and sitting on the benches.
