SERVING CAMPUS SINCE 1922

Feeling depressed? By Luke Shaffer The Collegian Suicide is the second-leading cause of death on college campuses. The Journal of American College Health found that in the United States an average of 100 college students commit suicide every year.

Being a student of advanced education can be very stressful. Having to deal with the pressure of going to school, working one or two jobs and extra curriculum or off-campus activities can sometimes drive students to very low psychological limits. Many Fresno State students deal with very stressful situations every day and

this environment can sometimes lead to anxiety and depression. Diagnosis of this condition, however, is very unlikely. The Journal of American College Health found that from 1990 to 2004 only 23 percent of students who committed suicide were

In addition, suicide is the third-leading cause of death for young people aged 15 to 24. With overwhelming statistics across Dalton Runberg / The Collegian

The rule implementation tries to prevent biased judgments of sororities towards new possible members due to possible negative Facebook content.

By Ronald D. White McClatchy Tribune By the breakwaters of San Pedro Bay, the sea marshals prepare for action. Armed with AR-15 assault rifles, they board every arriving cruise ship and high-value cargo vessel, remaining on guard in the captain’s bridge and ship’s engine room until safely docked. But this week, the port police and U.S. Coast Guard are conducting a “surge” to thwart attacks timed to the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The officers board even small vessels such as fishing and recreational boats, looking for anything out of the ordinary. On the second such boarding Wednesday morning, a drugsniffing dog named Achilles went on alert. There were drugs onboard. Lots of them. “With the anniversary of 9/11 approaching, we’re pushing out more than usual, doing extra boardings, extra search dives,” said David Clements, a Los Angeles Port Police sergeant. “We’re not expecting anything to happen, but we’re not taking any chances.” The sea marshals force is the most visible reminder of changes at the nation’s busiest seaports since the

By Megan Russell The Collegian Fresno State Greek members and potential new recruitments were prohibited from using Facebook and other social media accounts during rush week to prevent subjective acceptance of new members. Greeks social media accounts managed by Greeks were deactivated from Aug. 17-29 due to Panhellenic Assoiciations implementation of a new policy as part of the “strict silence” period. “Strict silence is the period of time from the end of the women’s last event until the issuance of bids,” Greek advisor Eddie Dominguez said. “Strict silence is defined as verbal, written, printed, or text message communication between the potential new members and fraternity members. “There will be no promising of bids directly or indirectly by any member, new member, or alumna of a fraternity,” Dominguez added.

Greek organization had to resort to more conventional means to determine which new members to recruit.

“The purpose of the new rule was to eliminate the potential of girls being biased toward houses based on what they see on member’s individual Facebook accounts,” vice president of public relations for the Panhellenic Association Megan Hamik said. “During the actual weekend it prevents members from contacting the girls that are going through recruitment over Facebook,” Hamik added. “We don’t want to punish the pledges for things they’ve done in the past. We all understand that college hits everyone differently and it’s great to see how much pledges mature over the semester,” Phi Mu member Kim Jones said. “Everyone deserves a second chance. “Social media tends to get in the way when we are trying to recruit girls

for our sorority. It makes it easier to accept each potential member without having a biased opinion,” Jones said. “Not having Facebook to turn to gives everyone a fair chance.” In previous years, members were allowed to preview each candidate’s social media accounts prior to their social contact, Jones added. The lack of Facebook keeps the recruiting process more subjective, but the only negative side effects are the withdrawals from not being able to use all of the convenient social networks. Jones added that for the 2010 recruitment period, members had to set their profiles on private to avoid candidates from being able to “stalk” the sorority See GREEK, Page 3

They were vital engines of the U.S. economy, and few people were looking at security at all,” said Jay Grant, chief executive of the International Association of Airport and Seaport Police. “Today, we’re not perfect, but someone is always watching. Someone is always paying attention.” Protecting Souther n Califor nia’s twin ports “posed serious challenges,” said Richard D. Steinke, executive director of Long Beach’s port, the nation’s No. 2 cargo container operation behind its next-door neighbor, the Port of Los Angeles. “We have two major freeways running through here. We have major bridges we share with the public. There are nearby marinas where recreational traffic mixes with the commercial traffic. The harbor was a very large and very difficult place to try to batten down the hatches.” Steinke said. After 9/11, cargo terminal operators were required to submit security programs and emergency plans that had to pass muster with the Coast Guard.

Remembering Sept. 11

The Right Tone Tony Petersen

t is really hard to write about 9/11. I was all ready to write about the mistakes our government has made in the foreign policy arena. About how President Bush’s outlook changed after that day. About where we could go from here, what foreign policy changes we could make right that have been wrong for so long. But this is not the time for ruminations of the sort. Because 10 years ago yesterday, nearly 3,000 Americans — innocent Americans — lost their lives in a brazen attack by a terrorist organization

headed by an evil man. I don’t want to talk about all the mistakes our country has made in the last decade. Yes, we have made mistakes. But, for the most part, our response has shown that we, as a nation, will endure. We have remained a light of freedom — an empire of liberty, as Thomas Jefferson said — to the whole world, despite the horrible tragedy. Even after a few Muslim radicals attacked us, we did not blame all Muslim peoples for the attack, nor did we round them up and put them into internment camps. Though this may seem like common sense, here we acted more honorably than most nations would act, and more honorably than our predecessors did when they, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, put Americans of Japanese descent into internment camps. Though we have lost a little bit of our privacy, we still have the freedom to criticize governmental actions regarding the War on Terror, even to promulgate theories of how it was actually the United States government that attacked us. And though we have been involved in two wars, we have resisted the urge to reinstate the draft, allowing Americans citizens the choice of whether or not they want to face war. There is still much to be proud of in this nation.

Yesterday, the members of my church held their outstretched hands out toward the American flag on our wall, praying fervently for God to guide our nation. Our pastor prayed for the United States out of Deuteronomy 11: “Rather, the land you will soon take over is a land of hills and valleys with plenty of rain — a land that the Lord your God cares for. He watches over it through each season of the year!” Whether or not you believe in God, these verses should give you hope. America will be all right. America will make it because its people are strong and resilient. Because we don’t give up when times are tough. Because we persevere. We are a shining city upon a hill. We will weather the attacks of the enemy and we will come out stronger. This is the message of 9/11. In the last ten years, we have made many mistakes. We have fallen short of our ideals many times. But at least we have these ideals. Remember the dead, but, as Abraham Lincoln

said so memorably in the Gettysburg Address, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. In order to prove ourselves worthy of those who gave their lives on that clear, sunny day, we must continue to strive for our ideals. May God bless America.

Revitalize the Fresno community Welty on Sept. 11 By Selena Farnesi The Collegian

y now the excitement of the beginning of a new school year has worn off, and students are starting to count down the days until their first paper or first big test is due. All the Greek rush events, clubs fairs and student involvement days are over and it may seem that involvement opportunities are scarce because their visibility has been reduced. This is not the case! In this column two weeks ago, you read about student leadership groups, clubs, organizations, student committees, campus wide committees and recreation opportunities — all of which are still available to you. If you have questions about how to get involved with any of these things, stop by the ASI office in USU 316; there is nothing we love more than helping students get connected and involved on campus. That said, ASI also functions as your representative body, lobbying locally as well as system-wide and state-wide for issues that impact students and higher education. Over the course of summer vacation, one such issue was brought to our attention. Students were upset by the amount of crime they saw happening in the community surrounding Fresno State, and they weren’t shy about letting their student government know

THE

they were frustrated. Within a few days, we had received tons of emails, Facebook comments and tweets regarding the issue. The overwhelming student support for a better community environment convinced ASI it was something students cared about and we jumped on board. Now we have full-time staff dedicated to the issue of revitalizing the Fresno State community. We have established partnerships within the community and throughout the city, and would love to partner with you as well. This is grassroots effort by students, for students — we need the support and involvement of Fresno State students to really make an impact and keep the revitalization of the Fresno State community at the forefront. There are many opportunities for students to get involved in the revitalization effort. If you are interested in sharing your own personal experiences in the community and networking with other students living in the Fresno State area, join the “Revitalize the Fresno State Community” Facebook page. The Facebook page has become a forum where students share their experiences and collaborate with each other about how to increase their own safety as well as their involvement in the community. It is also a place where we post information and updates about what ASI is doing and how you can help. If you are interested in volun-

ept. 11 is a date that forever will occupy a special place in the hearts of all Americans. And for those of us who hold Fresno State dear, it is a date that is twice as significant. As with our countrymen, Sept. 11 is forever etched in our minds for the terrorism and tragic loss of nearly 3,000 innocent lives at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa. At Fresno State, we also commemorate that date as the anniversary we opened its doors in 1911. As we remember our university’s beginning on Sept. 11, we are especially humbled by the memory of two of our alumni, Todd Beamer and Navy Lt. Cmdr. Otis Vincent Tolbert, who lost their lives on a day this nation shall never forget. Hallmarks of our great country — and of Fresno State — are our resiliency and our ability to see light where there was darkness. I hope that we will continue moving forward — as a nation and as a university — with confidence and pride, and also with profound gratitude and respect for all of those individuals who sacrificed so much.

sister pages. “ We a l re a dy h ave t o ke e p o u r Facebook profile very private as it is. We aren’t allowed to have pictures posted or anything that would affect our houses reputation,” Jones said. The deactivations of sororities’ social media became an inconvenience not only for members, but also for the organizations. “I love social networking as a way of promoting. This year we had a Facebook ad promoting sorority recruitment, and each chapter had their own Facebook pages showing their sisterhood and representing what

they stand for,” Hamik said. Greek organizations dependence on Facebook is not uncommon. Facebook and Twitter have become the fastest and easiest alternatives for individuals of all ages to reach out and talk to friends, family and even celebrities.

The usage of Facebook is three times the amount other social media outlets are used. “I feel miserable because I can’t check my Facebook.

Depression symptoms vary from person to person but helpguide.org, a website designed to prevent suicide, has published a list of possible symptoms of depression.

ask. After 9/11, about 1.6 million truck drivers, longshore workers and others across the nation _ virtually anyone who expected to be able to enter a seaport terminal unescorted _ were required to submit to background checks and obtain a Transportation Workers Identification Credential. “The biggest concer n we used to have was cargo pilferage, and a lot of that problem had been taken care of decades earlier by using sealed steel containers to transport most cargo,” said John Holmes, deputy executive director of operations at the Los Angeles port. “Security had to be built up from almost nothing.” Radiation sensors now check every

“W

ith the anniversary of 9/11 approaching, we’re pushing out more than usual, doing extra boardings, extra search dives.” — David Clements, Los Angeles Port Police sergeant cargo container at major ports around the nation. In L.A.’s port, a rag-tag group of boats that once included an aging Boston Whaler has been replaced with a small fleet of modern patrol boats. Perhaps the biggest change has been camera surveillance, said Ronald Boyd, chief of the Los Angeles Port Police, which has grown from about 66 people before 9/11 to more than 230 now, half of them sworn officers. On a recent patrol cruise through the Los Angeles side of San Pedro Harbor, Boyd said the port had added 400 cameras since 9/11. “We have fixed and stationary cameras, traditional pan, tilt and zoom cameras, but they are supplemented by four very special long-range infrared cameras that can see in all conditions, at night, in fog, and have a detection range of nearly 4,300 feet,” Boyd said. “We are 360 degrees in terms of what we can see now.”

At the L.A. port’s Threat Detection Center, camera feeds are monitored by trained technicians. Some of the cameras are considered “smart,” in that they can detect anomalies, such as movement at night when there should be none, or speedy movement that could indicate hostile intent. Better yet, Boyd said, the cameras will “nudge” the video technicians to the camera they should be watching. “The video analytics are the really sweet thing about these cameras,” Boyd said, noting that the cameras have already alerted officials to cases of trespass, burglary and even a capsized sailboat. No one was spared from new responsibilities. The biggest direct customers at the ports _ the nation’s largest retailers _ were pressed to join the CustomsTrade Partnership Against Terrorism, or C-TPAT. Retailers who signed up and proved that they had secure supply chains between their foreign factories and U.S. shores would find their cargo expedited through U.S. customs. Now, there are more than 10,000 C-TPAT members. Beyond the potential loss of human life, an attack would be financially costly. The 2002 labor dispute between port terminal operators and the union representing dockworkers closed West Coast ports for 10 days, causing an estimated $15 billion in losses, including wages and shipping delays. Despite all the security changes, the flow of cargo hasn’t been impeded, said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Geraldine Knatz. Before 9/11, the two ports were moving less than 10 million cargo containers annually. This year they are on pace to exceed last year’s numbers of more than 14.1 million containers. “We have been able to accommodate all of the additional security requirements and still move all of the cargo,” Knatz said. “These ports have a national impact on the economy, and we have to make sure they are constantly working.” Still, the real tests are yet to come. “Some bad thing is going to happen at some point no matter how good we do our jobs,” Holmes said. “Our value is going to be judged on how quickly we can get things up and running again.”

Culinology students work with campus herb garden By Keelyn Hanlon The Collegian On a warm morning, students traded their backpacks a n d b o o k s fo r g a rd e n i n g gloves, rakes and clippers to clean up and nurture Fresno State’s certified organic herb garden. They trimmed plants back, weeded the area and worked on a mulch project in the garden. The 38 students enrolled in the introduction to food systems management class layered recycled newspapers on the soil and applied mulch, which was generated from Fresno State tree clippings. T he g arden serves as a hands on application for what students taking culinology® classes learn in the classroom. “This is something I can’t teach,” Klaus Tenbergen, culinology program director and assistant professor said. "How food grows and the hands on experience is something every student should have, respect for where food is grown and how it applies to their major.” The garden gives students an opportunity to work with and appreciate herbs in a garden setting as well as the ability to harvest farm fresh herbs. “[Working in the garden] gives us more of an idea of the labor, what goes into growing them and an appreciation for

the herbs,” Claudia Sandoval, a Fresno State junior studying dietetics said. In addition to the benefit of learning about the plants which provide the flavor for culinary creations there are economic advantages of an on-campus garden. “Monetarily this garden allows us to get an abundance of herbs without the expense because they are nor mally very expensive,” food and nutritional sciences junior Shea Kilby said, “We can see firsthand how they actually grow, what they look like. We can see them fresh as opposed to just dry as we would see them in the store.” The herb garden was established in fall 2008 with the assistance of a grant from the California Department of Education's Home Economics C a r e e r s a n d Te c h n o l o g y (HECT) Education Programs through collaboration with University High School and the culinology® department of Fresno State. The original goal was to create an educational school garden that the two schools, as well as other organizations, could benefit from. This project evolved into a certified organic herb garden. Located along East Barstow Avenue, adjacent to the Ornamental Horticulture Nursery, the garden now has

Esteban Cortez / The Collegian

Shea Kilby is one of many Fresno State students who work on cleaning up the herb garden, which has been around since 2008

over 20 different varieties of herbs including lavender, oregano, bay, rosemary, mint, lemongrass and thyme. Tenbergen emphasized the importance of being able to work in the garden as a way to enhance the educational experience of his students. He explained that sometimes the students he least expects to appreciate the gardening project are the ones who embrace the experience the most.

“It nurtures a passion and provides unexpected learning,” he said. The g arden provides an opportunity for university students and community members who contribute toward the maintenance to benefit from use of the garden. Culinology students, entomology students, nursery technicians, elementary schools, farm tours and various high school groups benefit from

the herbs grown. In addition fresh herbs are packaged and sold at the Farm Market. This physical interaction and application as part of the learning process can have a lasting effect on students. “When we go back and talk to alumni they always emphasize how much they appreciate the hands-on experience the farm provided,” Tenbergen said.

This week, Fresno’s Tower District will host festivities for the 22nd-annual Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. The festival, which lasts for five consecutive days, is filled with fun, film, and events. Reel Pride is a film festival celebrating gay and lesbian cinema and culture in the San Joaquin Central Valley. It began in a classroom at Fresno State in 1990. A group of fearless students, led by co-founders Ken Fries and Peter Robertson, launched the festival and showcased 15 free films over the course of five days. Since that inaugural event over two decades ago, it has been an important part of Fresno State. Students take part and volunteer to help promote awareness and increase involvement. Justin Kamimoto, a Fresno State freshman and a current volunteer with Reel Pride, is working hard to provide students and others in the community with valuable information. “This year’s mission is to increase youth involvement,” Kamimoto stated.

Documentary tells story behind McCartney’s 9/11 benefit concert By Rick Bentley McClatchy Tribune L O S A N G E L E S — L i ke so many, Paul McCartney remembers exactly what he was doing on Sept. 11, 2001. He was in an airplane on the tar mac of New York’s JFK airport waiting to fly back to England after a short trip to the U.S. That takeoff was delayed and then canceled because of the terrorist attacks. McCartney ended up in Long Island watching events unfold on TV. “So while I was kind of sitting out there twiddling my thumbs thinking of what to do, was there any role I could play in this, the idea came to me that maybe we could do a concert. Maybe get something together,” McCartney says. “And that thing grew into a conversation with Harvey Weinstein, who said that MTV was putting one to gether and maybe we should all get together on that.” That concert has become the backdrop for Showtime’s “The Love We Make,” a documentary shot in black and white by Albert Maysles, Bradley Kaplan and Ian Markiewicz. It features McCartney in New York after the attacks as he prepares for a Madison Square Garden concert with Mick Jagger, Pete Townshend and The Who, Billy Joel and Elton John. “The whole mood of the world, the country of America, and particularly the city of New York, had

changed. There was fear in the air and I never experienced that, particularly in New York. So this was where the idea of doing a show came about,” McCartney says. “There were a lot of British guys who flew in especially for it when that was a time when people weren’t flying. You know, so it gave a great message. It said to people in America, ‘Look, we don’t even live here, and we’re coming for you. So you guys who live here, you know, don’t worry about it.’ “I did have a woman who rang me up. She was from Boston, and she said, ‘I said I was never going to fly again after these attacks, but I’m flying up to this concert’.” Although the concert happened in Oct. 20, 2001, the documentary wasn’t put together until recently. McCartney says there was no reason for the delay but he knows he was sparked to get it done because of the 10th anniversary of the attacks. McCartney’s deep connection to America and particularly New York started with the Beatles’ concert at Shea Stadium, plus the band’s appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” and continued through his former wife, Linda, who called New York home. The idea of a concert was a n at u r a l fo r M c C a r t n e y because he believes music has a magical power to help people heal. He sees music as a global language that touches certain emotions — whether you are

in New York, London or any other spot on the planet. “It can bring you to tears. It can make you smile. It can make you flash back to a memory. You know, people often say ‘Thank you for the music’ to me and say ‘It’s the soundtrack to my life.’ So really it’s one of the things I’m most proud of, actually, to have lucked out to be in a profession like this where I can actually help heal, let people get in touch with their emotions, and me, by the way, at the same time,” McCartney says. “It’s a magical thing, and I do mean that. “People say, ‘Do you believe in magic, you know, really?’ I say, ‘Yeah, I really do.’ I think I have to. I love the fact that it can reach people and touch their hearts in the way that it can.” McCar tney’s career has been a long and winding road of fame and success. Out of all that, he takes particular pride in this concert “We were emerging from the fearfulness of the immediate impact, and now you were seeing the emotion releasing through music, which I always think is a great thing. It’s one of the reasons I love music and I’m in it,” says McCartney. “You could see particularly the firefighters and the volunteers and their families and victims’ families were able to release this emotion that had been sort of so pent up. So it was a great feeling. It was a really great feeling. We actually felt like we were doing a bit of good,”

Cooper entered the season as a first-time starter at guard, now he has switched positions again due to the loss of junior center Richard Helepiko.

the ‘Dogs in an actual game until Helepiko went down on Saturday. Although Cooper had no past experience at center, he is no stranger to the position. “It’s a little dif ferent,” Cooper said of the transition from right guard to center. “At guard I’m used to playing with a stagger. You can’t really play with a stagger at center. It’s more squared up.” Cooper started nine games along the Bulldogs’ offensive line last season when earlyseason injuries opened a spot for him. Since then, Cooper earned the role of starting right guard in the offseason,

but now he is being asked to snap to a first-year starting quarterback. Offensive line coach and run-game coordinator Derek Frazier was impressed with Cooper’s clutch performance in week one. “I thought he did a tremendous job of filling in at center.” Frazier said of Cooper. “It’s a totally different feel when you have to play with your hand and your legs. He did a good job of ball security and has a great command of the offense as far as knowledge goes.” Frazier feels Cooper will be consistent at center due to his leadership and his rela-

tionship with quarterback Derek Carr in the game at Candlestick Park. “I think that was the best thing you saw from an unfortunate situation,” Frazier said of the center-quarterback duo. “[Carr and Cooper] never had a snap issue, and we kept doing what we were able to do.” Cooper said he and Carr have a healthy relationship when he is at center. During the offseason, Cooper worked with Carr to gain more experience with the redshirt sophomore quarterback. “I took a few reps with Derek throughout camp so it was preparing for the worst, and the worst happened,” Cooper

said. But the worst is no longer the worst for the Bulldogs. Things have gotten better for the ‘Dogs’ offensive line after Helepiko’s injury. The other three linemen will all remain at their original positions. Sophomore Austin Wentworth will remain at right guard, while junior Matt Hunt and senior Bryce Harris will line up at left guard and left tackle, respectively. The only new face for the ‘Dog’s offensive frontline is 6-foot-5, 310-pound redshirt freshman Cody Wichmann, who started at right tackle against the Nebraska Cor nhuskers this past Saturday. No timetable has been set for Helepiko’s return, but the team said he is expected to miss a few weeks. The Bulldogs faced their stiffest test this season, as Nebraska has one of the nation’s top defenses and senior All-American defensive tackle, Jared Crick. Crick, a 6-foot-6, 285-pounder, led the Cornhuskers in 2010 with 9.5 sacks and is a threat to backfields everywhere. Although Crick was so highly touted going into the game, the reconstructed offensive line which was battling injury issues again with junior Hunt leaving the game with an undisclosed injury still held Crick and the vaunted Nebraska defense to no sacks. Cooper made his first start at the center position and lead the Bulldog offensive line and coach Frazier is confident he and the rest of the offensive line will continue what they did against the Cornhusker d e f e n s ive l i n e t h i s p a s t Saturday. “You have got to love a great challenge and stepping up to these kinds of challenges,” Frazier said. “I think [Cooper]’s ready for the challenge and ready to step up.”

‘Dogs suffer 4th-quarter collapse in Lincoln

After two away games, Fresno State will finally play in front of a home crowd

By Jerry Huerta The Collegian

What began as a potential upset Saturday evening ended with a bad taste in the Bulldogs’ mouths following Fresno State’s long trip to Lincoln, Neb. The Bulldogs came up short in their battle as the 10th-ranked Cornhuskers used a monster fourth quarter to win 42-29 despite Fresno State being 25-point underdogs. The 13-point Cornhuskers win wasn’t indicative of how close the game was with the ‘Dogs getting on the board first early on. Senior wide receiver Devon Wylie sliced through Nebraska’s punt return coverage for a 67-yard touchdown return to give Fresno State a 7-0 lead. He also made a difference at the wideout position finishing with four catches for 50 yards. Then, Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez put the Cor nhuskers in scoring position with a 57-yard option run as he dashed by the Fresno State defense. Martinez would score from one yard out to tie the score 7-7 in the first quarter. The sophomore torched the Fresno State defense for 166 yards on the ground with two touchdowns and 219 yards through the air and another score. The ‘Dogs would answer back with a five-play, 80-yard drive ending with Carr scoring his first rushing touchdown of young collegiate career to extend the Bulldogs’ lead to 14-7. Along with that rushing touchdown, Carr went 20-for-41 passing for 255 yards and one touchdown and no drive-halting turnovers. In the second quarter, Martinez would again get the Nebraska offense rolling with a 38-yard run. This would lead to a one-yard run by Nebraska running back Rex Burkhead to tie the score at 14-14 all. Fresno State would add two field goals, one at the end of the second quarter and one in the third quarter to add to its lead 20-14. Junior running back Robbie Rouse did a lot of the heavy lifting on both drives, carrying the ball numerous times. Rouse finished with 36 carries for 169 yards, which was his fifth career 100-yard rushing game. It was the most carries by a Bulldog running back since Rouse toted the rock 43 times in last season’s win at Louisiana Tech. Martinez was at it again in the third quarter, driving Nebraska down the field. He hit wide receiver Quincy Enunwa for the 16-yard touchdown pass to give the Cornhuskers their first lead of the game, 21-20. Fresno State would never lead the game after that point. But the scoring wouldn’t end there with Nebraska putting points on the board after Burkhead found the end

Fresno State showed improvement offensively in its second game of the season, but was repeatedly scorched by big plays.

zone again, this time from six yards out to extend the lead, 28-20. Then, Carr put the ‘Dogs on his back and led them down the field. He started the drive off with a 55-yard pass to sophomore wideout A.J. Johnson. A couple plays later, the sophomore found freshman wide receiver Josh Harper for a 26-yard touchdown pass to bring Fresno State within two points, 28-26. It was the second touchdown pass from the quarterback-receiver combination on the season. After the Carr-to-Harper touchdown, the Cornhuskers answered quickly on the ensuing kickoff with freshman Ameer Abdullah returning the kick 100 yards for the 35-26 lead. With time r unning out on the Bulldogs’ upset hopes, Carr marched them down the field for a field goal scoring drive to cut the Cornhusker lead to 35-29. Fresno State gave the Cornhuskers the ball back with six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. The ‘Dogs couldn’t stop Nebraska’s rushing attack on the drive with Burkhead converting on key third downs. Finally, Martinez put the stamp on the Fresno State’s comeback bid with a 46-yard run to give the Cornhuskers the commanding 42-29 lead. Nebraska would not allow another score and go on to seal the victory. With the loss, the ‘Dogs drop to 0-2 and will be at home next weekend for their first home game of the season against North Dakota. Saturday’s matchup will mark the inaugural game played on Fresno State’s revamped playing surface.
