Woman charged in connection to body found on fire in Carbondale DAILY EGYPTIAN CAMPUS DESK

A Collinsville woman was arrested Monday in connection to the death of a woman whose body was found on fire in Carbondale in August, authorities said. Tiesha D. Anderson, 22, was charged Tuesday with one count of

concealment of a homicidal death, according to the Jackson County State’s Attorney’s Office. Anderson is accused of hiding the remains of a body that was found Aug. 30 in the 900 block of East Main Street near Piles Fork Creek and Midas auto repair shop, Carbondale police said.

Anderson appeared in court for the first time at 1 p.m. Tuesday for allegations of placing the victim’s body in a trash can Aug. 29 in an attempt to conceal or delay the discovery of the body. The body is believed to be the remains of a woman, Carr’s office said.

If found guilty, Anderson could face two to five years in prison for the Class 3 felony. Her bond was set at $750,000. The identity of the victim is being withheld by police until forensic verification is complete and the family is notified.

Carbondale police’s investigation into the woman’s cause of death is ongoing as Anderson has not been charged with the murder. Anderson’s next court date is Nov. 3. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

Women in automotive technology steer toward industry equality MARNIE LEONARD | @marsuzleo

When her friend’s car broke down, SIU student Nayeli Garcia thought it would be nice to lend a hand and take a look under the hood. Cars are her specialty, after all. Garcia, a senior from Joliet studying automotive technology, spent her childhood running around half-built automobiles in her father’s shop before she eventually decided to make it her profession. But she was dismayed to find out her help was not wanted. Her friend’s husband was quite frank when he told her the reason had everything to do with her gender. “He said, ‘Girls don’t do that,’” Garcia said. Of the 332 students enrolled

in the university’s automotive technology program for the fall semester, only 17 are women, according to university data. The trend in enrollment at SIU corresponds with job placement in the professional world. In 2015, women accounted for less than 2 percent of the workforce in automotive fields, including technicians and body repair specialists, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This disparity is something the university is actively working to fix through raising awareness of the issue and broadening recruitment efforts to include more women, said Jessica Suda, the first and only female instructor in the history of SIU’s automotive program.

Growing up with grandma

Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Three-year-old Bailey Myers receives a drink from her grandmother Mary Wrye, both of Joppa, after making a trip down the slide during the Joppa Fall Festival on Saturday at the village park. "She's my life," Wrye said of her grandchild. "She's everything to me. We spend a lot of time together and she keeps me busy." She said her granddaughter's smile is one of her favorite parts of spending time with her. The lifelong resident of the village of 400 described her granddaughter as priceless. "Just watching her growing up has just been amazing," Wrye said.

SIU to pay MAP grants through spring semester BILL LUKITSCH | @lukitsbill

The university system will continue to fund Illinois’ Monetary Award Program grants for lowincome students at SIUC and SIU-Edwardsville through spring 2017, SIU President Randy Dunn announced in a news release Monday. “We are proud of our legacy of providing access and opportunity,” interim Chancellor Brad Colwell said in the released statement. “Many of our students rely on this funding

to remain in school, and the lack of a state budget should not drive them away from their education.” The news comes as public universities continue to operate with a temporary spending plan passed by state lawmakers in June. That budget allocated $151 million in backpay to the state’s nine public universities, as well as community colleges, for the program grants, which are awarded to Illinois students with the greatest financial need. SIU fronted the tab for the state’s

MAP grants during the 2015-2016 academic school year after stagnant sessions in Springfield kept higher education without any state funding for an entire year. In the fall, the university covered $5.6 million in MAP grants for 2,917 students. The cost at SIUE amounted to $3.4 million for 2,219 students.

Do you want to leave Illinois? About half in new poll say yes CASEY BISCHEL Belleville News-Democrat

About 80 percent of Illinoisans in a new poll said that they thought the state was headed in the wrong direction, and nearly 50 percent of respondents said they would like to leave Illinois, according to a new poll. Some of the top reasons include taxes, crime and dissatisfaction with government. “The most troubling finding in this poll is that so many younger people are thinking about it,” said

David Yepsen, the director of SIU’s Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, which did the poll. “That’s the state’s future.” The findings of the poll of 1,000 people were released Monday. Almost 60 percent of respondents under 35 said they would leave if they could, compared with almost 30 percent of people 66 and older. The poll also found that almost 60 percent believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, while about 50 percent believe that locally, their area of the state

was headed in the right direction. Slightly more than half said they had a “good” or “excellent” quality of life where they lived. The key results are larger than the 3.1 percent margin of error and therefore statistically significant, said Dr. Kenneth Moffett, a political science professor at SIUEdwardsville. The data behind the poll, however, did not offer insight into what influenced respondents. Please see POLL | NEXT PAGE

President Obama wants private companies to help send humans to Mars by the 2030s JIM PUZZANGHERA Los Angeles Times

President Barack Obama said Tuesday that he wants private companies to help send humans to Mars by the 2030s. Obama first said in 2010 he wanted to send astronauts “to orbit Mars and return them safely to Earth” by the mid-2030s with “a landing on Mars” to follow. In that speech at the Kennedy Space Center, Obama added that he expected to see such a landing in his lifetime. In an opinion article Tuesday on CNN.com, Obama said private companies would be a key to the lofty goals. “We have set a clear goal vital to the next chapter of America’s story in space: sending humans to Mars by the 2030s and returning them safely to Earth, with the ultimate ambition to one day remain there for an extended time,” Obama said. “Getting to Mars will require continued cooperation between government and private innovators, and we’re already well on our way.” Obama noted that private

POLL

Although taken in the heat of a presidential election cycle, the poll did not define what “right direction” or “wrong direction” meant. “It could be anything the respondent wants it to be,” Yepsen said. Moffett said people’s satisfaction with the direction of the country could be explained, at least in part, on the party in control of the White House. Dissatisfaction with the direction of Illinois, however,

companies will send astronauts to the international space station for the first time within the next two years and that NASA is working with “commercial partners to build new habitats that can sustain and transport astronauts on long-duration missions in deep space.” “These missions will teach us how humans can live far from Earth — something we’ll need for the long journey to Mars,” Obama said. There are more than 1,000 U.S. companies working on private space initiatives, he said. One of those firms is Hawthorne, Calif.-based SpaceX. And in a speech last month to the International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Elon Musk, the company’s chief executive, laid out his vision for establishing a self-sustaining colony on Mars. SpaceX, whose full name is Space Exploration Technologies Corp., is working on spacecraft to accomplish the mission and the first test flight could come in four years, he said. A crewed mission could launch in late 2024 and arrive on Mars in 2025. Developing the interplanetary

transport system could cost SpaceX $10 billion. Sending humans to Mars would be even more expensive and would require a public/private partnership, Musk said. NASA is developing a massive rocket called the Space Launch System that the agency plans to send to an asteroid in the mid-2020s and to Mars in the 2030s. In April, SpaceX announced plans to send an unmanned Dragon spacecraft to Mars as early as 2018 to test landing capabilities, interplanetary navigation and other systems. NASA will provide some technical support for the mission because it is interested in the entry, descent and landing data. Accomplishing Obama’s goal will depend on future presidents. SpaceNews reported last month that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton supported plans to send humans to Mars in response to a questionnaire on science policy from ScienceDebate.org. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump praised space exploration but did not say he supported a human Mars mission.

knew no ideological bounds. In that instance, “you also have other, more structural issues” at play, Moffett said. He gave the state’s debt and pension problems as examples. “Those cross the ideological spectrum.” Although it is possible to infer what some of the interviewees were responding to, the Simon Institute did not include responses to more specific questions regarding issues they face. “The (raw data) are suggestive but don’t necessarily nail down the case automatically,” said Moffett,

who has experience conducting polls for SIUE. The poll was conducted using live telephone interviews carried out using random calls, 60 percent of which were from cell phones. “Potential interviewees were screened based on whether they were registered voters and quotas based on area code and sex,” according to the Institute. The poll was conducted from Sept. 27 through Oct. 2. Women constituted of less than 60 percent of the respondents, and there was also a Spanish-language version.

Required consent training at SIU is more harmful than helpful Editor’s Note: This is a letter Abigail Warhus, a junior from Evanston studying theatre, sent to SIU’s Office of Diversity and Equity. It has been edited slightly for style. To the Office of Diversity and Equity, I am a student and a resident assistant here at SIU. I just took the required consent and respect training and I found it to be much more harmful than helpful. The “sexual assault” portion of the training was directed specifically at women and only focused on how women can avoid rape. This is a problematic notion because instead of teaching people not to rape, you are teaching women to change their behavior. Some statements that stuck out to me in the “risk factors” section were: “High-risk drinking,” “sensation/ thrill-seeking behaviors,” “locations with a presence of alcohol (e.g. a bar)” and “being alone in a partner’s home/dorm.” This ideology, instead of encouraging respect and consent, essentially puts the onus on the victim/survivor. A more accurate description of “high

risk” behaviors in a consent context would include pursuing sexual activity with a person who is incapacitated (incapable of self-care) because of alcohol or drug consumption; consuming so much alcohol or drugs that you are incapable of controlling yourself and preventing yourself from engaging in sexual activity with a partner who has not consented, or is incapable of consenting; or continuing to pursue sexual activity after being told no, or after failing to obtain a yes. I was further disappointed when I came across the segment called “protective factors”; once again, instead of teaching respect, this is teaching caution for women. Perhaps the most disturbing part of this training was the statement “Stick with more serious relationships and fewer hookups.” First, this statement shames women who have casual sex. The university is establishing a sex-negative environment, which tells women that if they “hook up” they are more likely to be raped, and by extension, should expect it.

Along those lines, a serious relationship does not protect someone from violence; there is domestic abuse and intimate partner violence to address as well, according to SIU’s obligations under the Violence Against Women Act. By offering this woefully inadequate “training,” SIU is exacerbating exactly the problem you are purporting to address. This training either needs to be eliminated or amended because, as currently delivered, it is full of slutshaming, victim-blaming and sexnegative language. It fails to convey its core message, which is that no one deserves to have sexual aggression perpetrated against them if they do not want it. Behavior, drinking (or drugs), sexual promiscuity and past conduct can never absolve a perpetrator from responsibility if there is no consent. Thank you.

At least one scientist says the United States deserves credit for trying to reduce emissions to below what they were more than a decade ago. But unless more is done, and the two political parties can come to a consensus on the matter, our nation will not reduce emissions by a targeted 28 percent by 2025. But, even if every country achieves its pledge, which is doubtful, scientists still don't believe it would be enough to contain global warming. The agreement takes into account greenhouse gases that come from energy use and other sources, including

carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and some fluorocarbons. The United States is among some 190 nations that accepted the Paris Agreement in which countries would try to dramatically lower greenhouse gas emissions. The U.S. goal is to lower those emissions by as much as 28 percent below 2005 levels. Jeffrey Greenblatt of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has said: "I think the U.S. should be complimented. They set their own target and they set out a path to meet it as best they could." Greenblatt and Max Wei say that by

2025, the nation might only achieve four-fifths — 1,330 million tons of total annual emissions — of the intended goal of 1,660 million tons of annual emissions. Among the policies is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan, intended to lower carbon pollution from power plants, especially coal plants. But whether it will ever be implemented, or when, depends on its outcome in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Women are not prey, not even for rich and famous SALLY FRIEDMAN The Philadelphia Inquirer

Ask any woman — your sister, daughter, wife — whether she’s ever had “unwelcome attention” from a guy. Ask her whether she found it flattering. Chances are you’ll get an earful. Women are pretty unanimous about those kinds of guys. We talked about them in ladies rooms when we were stuck on those social antiquities called “blind dates.” Sometimes friends inadvertently fixed us up with a creep. Our mothers had warned us about such men. We were taught to be direct, clear and firm. But our mothers didn’t seem to realize that those signals often went unheeded by guys desperate to brag in their locker rooms. I guess you know where this is going. We are living through the most bizarre of presidential campaigns, but who knew that, for one very long weekend, we would be replaying that “boys will be boys” theme. Or more precisely, rich, powerful and famous men will be rich, powerful and famous men — with the accompanying sense of entitlement. I write not knowing the ultimate fallout of Donald Trump’s “tapegate” recording, the one that had dignified commentators and journalists confronting anatomical slang we used to think was far too scandalous for dissemination, verbally or in print. I’m talking about the words that make most women feel vulnerable and soiled and furious. Words that I’m uncomfortable having my preteen or teen granddaughters hear, even

though we all know what they mean. I am not by any stretch, a young innocent. Or a prude. But I never thought I’d hear those slang words — and boasts — in the public arena of presidential politics. Like so many of you, I’m sure, my husband and I almost ignored the early-warning system on Friday night when it sounded. We assumed this was just another instance of Trump testing our limits for tolerance and decency.

cooing and inviting me out to lunch. I never went. I had just turned 20 and was a total innocent, but knew that lunch was not a good idea. Midway into that summer, the invitations began sounding more like a demands And his observations about my clothes were inappropriate. I was scared. I was angry. I was helpless. And when it became clear that the lunch invitations were not innocent, I did what women of that era did. I quit the job.

Our bodies belong to us. Always. Actions have power — but so do words. And so do votes. But this time, there was more intensity to the CNN commentators’ tone. This time, we actually turned up the sound on the kitchen TV. Which meant we were in for the least tasteful viewing and eavesdropping in recent memory. Man-talk for sure. Talk not meant to be heard by millions. That night, I was reminded that almost every woman I know well has shared her own story about “unwelcome advances.” So many of us, with absolutely no encouragement on our part, have been targets. I still relive my own tale, going back to a summer job after my sophomore year of college. My awful job was in a car agency answering phone calls from angry customers. In the next mid-20th-century version of a cubicle was my boss, an ill-tempered middle-aged man. When he wasn’t yelling at me, he was

It left a gap in my tuition fund for the fall, but it was the prudent thing to do. I’ve never forgotten that incident, or how it made me feel. I still cringe when I think of it. I wish all the Trumps out there would understand — truly understand — that women are not prey. Not fair game. Not even for the rich and famous. I have told my daughters, and now my granddaughters, what women have always told one another in our own most private and powerful moments. Our bodies belong to us. Always. Actions have power — but so do words. And so do votes. Sally Friedman is a writer in Moorestown, Pennsylvania. She wrote this for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

AUTOMOTIVE CONTINUED FROM

While the current ratio is far from equal, Suda said female enrollment has been increasing since she went through the undergraduate program in 2011. “You saw another female in the bathroom and it was a shock,” Suda said. “It was like ‘Oh my god, I knew another one was around here somewhere.’” In the spring, Suda started a group called Women in Automotive Transportation Technology. This group, which is soon to become a registered student organization, involves men and women in raising awareness about different opportunities within the program. “We’re not training people to just wrench on cars and change oil, which may be a shock,” she said. “We are dealing a lot with modern technology.” For Garcia, having the choice to work in different sectors of the field encouraged her to sign up for coursework at SIU. “It makes all the difference to have someone show you that you don’t have to be a technician forever,” Garcia said. “You can be in an office if you want, you can study the business stuff, you can do anything.” Other than technician training, students can learn about the business management, diagnostics and engineering aspects to the automotive industry, said Michael Behrmann, the department's chairman. He said men and women are needed in the profession to ensure its survival. “We’ve got to work together because we need a strong workforce for this industry going forward,” Behrmann said. “To achieve that, we need to be inclusive.” While many women in the program agree say SIU has been receptive to the problem, some said they have experienced discrimination from potential

employers. Alli Giblin, a senior from Gilberts studying automotive technology, is one of them. Giblin said she has faced bias from customers and employers in the full-service and quick lube shops where she has done everything from change oil to work management. She said odd stares from customers were common when she would emerge on the shop floor to work on a car. “It’s not something they’re used to — a girl being back there,” Giblin said. She said she has been treated differently because she is a woman in the workforce on more than one occasion. She recalled applying to a shop she knew to be shortstaffed, and was dodged by the manager when she tried to follow up on her application.

She never heard back, so she asked around. Eventually, Giblin learned from a friend that the manager wouldn’t hire her because he thought having a woman in the shop would distract the men. “He said I might slow down productivity,” Giblin said.

experienced at least a small degree of discrimination, she said, but she has seen mentalities changing slowly. The first shop owner to give her a chance was unsure at first because he wasn’t used to having women working for him, Giblin said.

Eventually, Giblin learned from a friend that the manager wouldn't hire her because he thought having a woman in the shop would distract the men. When a male friend of Giblin’s applied days later, she said, the manager offered him the job. Most women in her field have

“He didn’t really believe in me at first, but I was able to prove to him that he should,” Giblin said. She worked her way up to full-

time technician and assistant manager within three months, and in that time began to notice changes in the attitudes of the customers she served. “I don’t care if you’re a guy or a girl,” Giblin said. “Just do your best and you can get where you want to be.” Recent efforts by the Women in Automotive Transportation Technology group have included raising money to fund trips to community colleges and high schools to recruit men and women. The goal is to encourage students interested in working in automotive techonology to learn the craft at SIU, Suda said. "We’re all just here to further our careers and to learn,” she said.

Fall fireworks in Olmsted

Page 9

Clery: Crime at SIU stayed about the same from 2014 to 2015 HANNAH COOPER | @hcooper_DE

Morgan Timms | @Morgan_Timms Robyn and Richard Hamilton watch fireworks Saturday during the annual Olmsted Catfish Days Festival. "Olmsted is where I met my bride," Richard said. The pair have been together for nearly 20 years and are raising nine kids together.

Crime at the university did not fluctuate much from 2014 to 2015, according to SIU’s Department of Public Safety’s Annual Security and Fire Report for 2015. There were slightly fewer reports of dating violence, domestic violence and stalking in 2015 compared to the previous year, but the number of reported rapes was 13 each year, according to the report released Sunday in compliance with the Clery Act. Burglary incidents remained at 40 while three more motor vehicle thefts were reported in 2015 compared to none in 2014. The number of arrests in 2015 related to liquor law violations was 165 — slightly up from 2014 — and the number of arrests related to drug law violations was at 112 — slightly down from the previous year.

SIU Police Chief Benjamin Newman said the number of alcohol-involved incidents increased on campus, but decreased in the resident halls. “Disciplinary referrals decreased from prior years due to increased education and clarification in reporting procedures,” Newman said. Incidents of illegal weapons possessions decreased across the board as well, with the number of arrests going from four in 2014 to zero in 2015. The Clery Act requires all college and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to keep and disclose information on crime committed on and near campus. The full report can be read here. Staff writer Hannah Cooper can be reached at hcooper@dailyegyptian.com.

Illinois Republicans stay course, fight Madigan and not Trump RICK PEARSON | Chicago Tribune

After a tumultuous weekend for Donald Trump, the Illinois Republican Party plans to stay the course for now and focus on legislative attacks against Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan rather than work to distance itself from the controversial GOP presidential nominee. Republican campaign strategists and activists said the reason is twofold: Trump is highly unlikely to defeat Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in Illinois, a traditional blue state in presidential years; and they contend

any Trump tarnish won’t extend all the way down to the General Assembly campaigns at the center of the Nov. 8 state GOP strategy. Yet they also admit there’s the unknown, including whether there will be more damaging disclosures about Trump and whether there will be diminished Republican turnout amid enthusiasm gaps for both major White House contenders. By later this month, they said, some of those X factors may become more readily apparent in surveying the mood of voters. While some Republicans maintain Trump’s Sunday night debate

performance against Clinton provided a much-needed campaign reset, the fallout of the GOP candidate’s graphic remarks involving women that invoked sexual assault may still be a developing issue. During the debate, Trump denied engaging in the behavior he talked about in a leaked “Access Hollywood” recording from 2005 that became public Friday. That’s not to say the release of the recording has not created more Trump defections in Illinois, however. To read more, please see www.dailyegyptian.com

The Josh Straughan story: A loveable underdog narrative MICHAEL-SHAWN DUGAR MOSCOW-PULLMAN DAILY NEWS

Josh Straughan has become adept at recalling his journey to SIU, having voiced the long, unlikely story to reporters, teammates and general inquirers the past few months. “Oh, it’s been a lot,” Straughan said, “too many to count.” For those who haven’t been keeping score at home, the story goes as follows: Straughan lit the Southeast 1B scene ablaze while quarterbacking the Colton Wildcats; he had a similar impact in three years at Stillman College, an NCAA Division II program in Tuscaloosa, Ala.; and he’s continued to light it up at SIU, a Division I Football Championship Subdivision school in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. In just five games at SIU, Straughan has thrown for 1,608 yards and 11 touchdowns, and his 321.6 yards per game average is sixth in the nation among FCS quarterbacks. The 6-foot-2 graduate transfer, working toward a master’s degree in kinesiology, has also earned two MVFC Newcomer of the Week honors. The highlights of the Straughan story paint a loveable underdog narrative, fit for a small-town 30-for-30 film. The play-by-play from those close to him reveals why only those on the outside looking in are taken aback by the thought of Straughan performing so well at this level. There’s the coaching staff at Colton, which allowed Straughan to throw the ball often enough to make a quarterback in Mike Leach’s Air Raid offense jealous. In four years with the Wildcats, Straughan accounted for more than 12,000 total yards and 141 touchdowns, and was all-state his senior year. Former assistant coach Seth Paine “had no doubt” that Straughan would be a Division I player because of “the intangibles he brought as far

as understanding the game and his leadership qualities. He was very mature for his years. The game seemed to move slow for him at times, which obviously is a huge asset.” Then there’s Teddy Keaton, the former Stillman coach who found Straughan through a recruiting service, overlooked the fact he played eight-man football and “fell in love” with him once he got the Colton stud to Alabama for a visit. “My first thought was, when I saw him sling the football, that he was probably a Division I football player, no less than a lower-level Division I football player,” said Keaton, now an assistant at Alabama’s Miles College after Stillman’s football program folded. “With all those schools on the West Coast that could probably use a quarterback who could throw like he does, I’m thinking I don’t have a shot or a chance to get him.” But he did. Straughan was as good as advertised, too, throwing for 5,470 yards and 53 touchdowns in three seasons, earning him 2014 all-conference and 2015 preseason All-American honors. “He’s got the type of swag that he makes the world stop and watch him,” Keaton said. “It’s no surprise how good he’s doing at the school he’s at. … I call him Peyton Manning. He was my Peyton Manning. He has a game plan, you have a game plan. You put it together and he goes out and executes it to the fullest.” There’s also SIU coach Nick Hill, who, after examining Straughan’s Stillman film, was impressed with the quarterback’s accuracy and athleticism, to the point he had this to say about him on signing day: “He played eight-man football in the state of Washington or he would not be here right now if he’s playing anywhere that gets heavily recruited.” To read more, please visit www.dailyegyptian.com.

SIU football making small improvements with new defense JONATHAN THOMPSON DAILY EGYPTIAN

Saluki football is still experiencing some growing pains in the early parts of this season after the signing of new head coach Nick Hill and defensive coordinator Kraig Paulson. SIU allowed 5,145 yards and 34.6 points per game last season, which both ranked second-worst in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. In an attempt to fix the problem, Hill brought in Paulson who changed the defensive scheme from last year’s 3-4 to a 4-3 base defense, which puts four down defensive lineman with three linebackers and vice versa on a 3-4. The team has already progressed statistically from last season, cutting down on yards (467.7 to 427.2) and points (34.6 to 32.8) allowed. Despite the marginal improvements, the Salukis have improved greatly at

ending opponents’ drives on third downs. SIU has allowed third down conversions just 28.9 percent of the time, the lowest rate in the conference. Last season, the Salukis allowed 41.8 percent of third downs to be converted. “Biggest thing about third downs is how many yards they have to go,” Paulson said. “When you’re giving a lot of third and ones, it’s hard to get a good percentage. We’ve been getting a lot of third and four or fives. If you can get that, you have a much better chance and that’s what we’ve been aiming for.” Paulson is in his first year at SIU, but he has 30 years of collegiate coaching experience under his belt and has spent the past 17 seasons at Utah State, Montana and University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He won eight conference championships while with Montana and made three national championship games with the team. “We trust what coach Paulson says,”

junior defensive end Khari WaitheAlexander said. “With all the experience he has … we trust his experience and what he preaches.” As expected, the Salukis are in a transition period with their new schemes. They have given up 21 touchdowns this season, fourth-worst in the conference. SIU is currently last in the MVFC in penalties and penalty yards per game, including the 17 penalties for 150 yards on Oct. 1 against Northern Iowa. “It’s still kind of early in the season — I feel like our defense is still improving,” senior inside linebacker Chase Allen said. “We made a lot of errors on our part and penalties against UNI. I think [we have] a lot to show.” SIU will be looking to bounce back when it faces Illinois State at 6 p.m. Oct. 15 in Normal.

Saluki football notebook: Scouting the Redbirds of Illinois State SEAN CARLEY | @SCarleyDE

Things will not get any easier for SIU football. After the team lost its first two Missouri Valley Football Conference games, the Salukis will travel Saturday to Hancock Stadium to take on the Illinois State Redbirds. SIU has a storied history with the Redbirds as it has only played Southeast Missouri more times than Illinois State. The Salukis have a 4035-3 record against ISU, but are 1719-2 in Normal. ISU won the 2015 matchup, 42-21. This year's Redbird team is 2-4 after losing four straight games, including all three MVFC matchups. Despite its record, the numbers show Illinois State is still a solid team. Illinois State has allowed just 168 passing yards a game, ninth in the Football Championship Subdivision and best in the MVFC. The Redbirds have allowed just less than 50 percent of passes to be completed this season. Even though their defense is strong, they've only forced five turnovers this season. Sophomore safety Mitchell Brees leads the team with five passes broken up this season. The inverse can also be said for ISU's defense as SIU's No. 6 in

the FCS passing attack will be the strongest the Redbirds have faced this season. SIU's key to success will be its ability to capitalize on a suspect Illinois State offensive line. ISU ranks in the bottom 10 of the FCS in sacks allowed (24) and tackles for loss allowed (52). Despite giving up all these negative plays, each Redbird starting offensive lineman is a senior that started all of last season as a unit. If the Salukis can get into the backfield like they did in their two previous wins, it will be a big step toward a Saluki win. When he gets time to operate, ISU sophomore quarterback Jake Kolbe has been one of the most efficient players at the position in the conference. He has completed 65.3 percent of his passes f0r 1,405 yards and seven touchdowns this season. More than a third of those yards have gone to senior wide receiver Anthony Warrum, a third-team All-American last season. Warrum is a constant bigplay threat as he averages more than 15 yards per catch, but he only has two touchdowns on the season. ISU has struggled to score all season, averaging 21.2 points per

Column: The (college football) times are changing SEAN CARLEY | @SCarleyDE

I’m really starting to feel for college secondaries. There’s not much they can do anymore. On Saturday, SIU football gave up 466 yards passing to South Dakota State sophomore quarterback Taryn Christion, a Jackrabbits single-game record. While this number is extreme and should be considered a

poor performance by the Saluki secondary, is it really unexpected anymore? Maybe it’s not SIU’s fault. Maybe it’s college football’s fault. College defenses have taken the brunt of a lot of rule changes in recent years — most dealing with player safety — that have forced players to adjust the way they play. Defensive players, defensive backs in particular, are now

being practically forced to play conservatively to avoid penalties. Cornerbacks are more often playing off of wide receivers, instead of the physical coverage fans could have seen just eight to 10 years ago. These style changes have made it easier for offenses to get quick completions to receivers in space. Entire offensive schemes such as the spread option have been created in the last 10 years to exploit this.

When teams do play press coverage, it seems like they’re penalized for pass interference or defensive holding more often than not. Penalties have gotten so rampant on college defenses that I can’t even tell you what pass interference is defined as anymore. Every game I’ve watched this season, at SIU or elsewhere, I find myself wondering what defensive backs are doing wrong to draw

these penalties. Meanwhile, offenses have been taking advantage. NCAA football saw the highest scoring season ever last year, with teams scoring 29.65 points per game on average. Just this week alone, 39 teams across Division I football scored 40 points or more. Please see COLUMN | NEXT PAGE

SIU men’s basketball picks up first class of 2017 commitment JONATHAN THOMPSON DAILY EGYPTIAN

Even though the upcoming 2016-17 men’s basketball season hasn’t started, SIU’s roster for 2017-18 is growing. Class of 2017 guard Demarius Jacobs announced his commitment to SIU Wednesday on Twitter. In the tweet Jacobs thanked his coaches and family while announcing his commitment. The two-star recruit averaged 19.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game last season at Uplift Community High School in Chicago, according to maxpreps.com. Jacobs helped lead his team to a

One of the most exciting games of the day nationally, Navy’s upset of No. 6 Houston, saw 86 combined points in 60 minutes of play. SIU’s defense has given up 32.8 points per game this season. As terrible as that sounds, it’s only the fourthworst in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. The Salukis’ average of 276.4 passing yards allowed is also just fourth-worst.

Jacobs spent his offseason playing for the All In/Y&R AAU team based in Chicago. When the 6-foot-2 commit comes to Carbondale, he will join a crowded backcourt that will feature seven other guards, including incoming freshmen Aaron Cook and Brenden Gooch. Staff writer Jonathan Thompson can be reached at jthompson@dailyegyptian.com. Don’t take this as an excuse for SIU not performing defensively. The Dawgs still need to improve not just in the secondary, but all around the defense. This is more of an open letter to fans to maybe begin to change their expectations of what a modern defense is even capable of. Football has become an offensivedominated sport, and there’s no sign of that changing any time soon. Sports editor Sean Carley can be reached at scar@dailyegyptian.com.
