Homecoming awards handed out
MYESHA GARNER Reporter
Monday evening was Homecoming awards night, where sororities, fraternities and student organizations learned their placing in the Homecoming event rankings. Numerous groups of people were awarded for their effort and participation in events during Homecoming week. Only first, second and third place winners received prizes. Freda Luers, the director for campus life, was involved in the activities during the week of Homecoming. “There will be awards for all the activities that people competed in during Homecoming such as the Trike Race, the Sync and other activities as well,” Luers said. Some groups were not surprised at who received certain awards. Geoff Sweet, a junior pre-law major and member of ATO, said he wasn’t too surprised about those who received awards. “No, I wasn’t surprised,” Sweet said. “I felt like everyone performed to their full potential and did a great job.” The awards for the Trike Race were divided into two categories: mens and womens.
The next category was the best parade float. The first-place winners were Delta Gamma and Pi Kappa Alpha. The first-prize winners for Sycamore Sync were Zeta Tau Alpha, Phi Delta Theta and Phi Kappa Psi. The crowd cheered as more awards were announced. Many of the groups who won the awards were members of sororities or fraternities. Chantelle Carter is a sophomore business management major and a member of Sigma Kappa. “My sorority, Sigma Kappa, participated in the blood drive, Sycamore Sync, Torchlight Parade/Pep Rally, Tug-O-War, the Homecoming parade and tent city,” Carter said. Sororities and fraternities always play a major part in Homecoming events. As the numbers were called, organizations were supportive of one another. They applauded for other groups and cheered as they received prizes. Some statistics about Homecoming week were also announced during the awards. Indiana State University set a new record for the blood drive this year; over 191 units
of blood were donated. Indiana State University was proud to announce the new record as well as the Homecoming attendance, reaching over 2,400 people. Other awards that were handed out were best fraternity and sorority pairings. Those who were paired participated in numerous events together during the week of Homecoming. First place for the best overall sorority and fraternity pairing was Delta Gamma and Pi Kappa Alpha. One of the biggest and most well-known awards of the night was the overall sorority and fraternity. These awards are given to the sorority and fraternity that have not only done well in Homecoming events, but are activists in the ISU community. The overall best fraternity this year was Pi Kappa Alpha and the overall best sorority was Zeta Tau Alpha. These awards are some of the biggest awards sororities and fraternities can receive. Not only does it signify having a successful year, but it is recognition for all their work.

New architectural engineering major
Helena Walker Reporter
Indiana State University will be adding a new major, architectural engineering, in Fall 2015. Architectural engineers specialize in designing engineering systems within buildings. It is similar to civil and mechanical engineering, but it is specifically geared toward the building industry. This is geared more for architectural design or interior design. The average salary for most architectural engineers is $74,000 a year for those with nine to 10 years of experience in the field. The starting salary for an entry-level architectural engineer is generally between $40,000 and $67,000, with a national average of $51,000. Robert English, the dean of the college of technology, said they decided to add this major because, “we look for places where there could be potential jobs in the workforce.” This means that there are more jobs and people looking for jobs within the architectural engineering major. It will take around four years to have a final set of specific courses. The major will be the typical four-year degree and will cost about the same as any other the fouryear degree offered at Indiana State. This cost is currently $8,216 for 12 to 18 credit hours and $9,550 for 18 or more credit hours.
Incoming students will be allowed to declare this major as late as their second semester, but the first semester of their freshman year is preferred. Andrew Phillip Payne, the chair and associate professor for the college of technology, is an advisor in creating the new major. “Indiana State University will promote this new major by targeting our outreach to incoming freshmen and technical high schools. It will align well with transfer programs with other state colleges,” Payne said. “This program includes BIM [building information modeling] which is the industry standard for architecture design software. The curriculum is based around a combination of interior design courses and construction management courses,” Payne said. Some of the teachers would be coming out of the interior architecture design program and some out of the construction management program to teach these new classes. This wouldn’t be adding new teachers or new faculty; this would only give students the opportunity to learn from both architectural design and construction management and then come out with this degree. Students with this degree will be able to find jobs within the design or construction industry, specifically architecture or interior design.
A sexual assault at the Lincoln Quads on Sept. 28 should remind students that no one is immune from harm. “To protect the privacy of the victim, not much information is available about the case,” Chief of Police and Director of Public Safety, Joseph Newport, said. “The victim, accompanied by a victim advocate for the University, reported the assault to the police.” The victim and suspect had both returned from an off-campus party, and the victim and suspect had known each other for a number of years. “If the victim reports a sexual assault to the police directly, it is [police] policy to call the university’s victim advocate before beginning the investigation,” Newport said. “Almost all cases of sexual assault they investigate are referred to the Vigo County prosecutor for review for possible criminal charges.” There seems to be confusion for many people about what constitutes consensual sex. Aimee Janssen-Robinson, a victim advocate for the university, said that most people, including males, are good about interpreting their partner’s sexual signals. “Sometimes signals can become blurred and misinterpreted,” JanssenRobinson said. “Consent is a verbal yes, not the absence of a no. Each and every sexual act requires a willing consent for there to not be a sexual assault. Kissing and flirting all night does not constitute consent.” Both Chief Newport and Janssen Robinson agree that often there is drinking involved in sexual assault cases and that many times the victim
and perpetrator know each other. Indiana State University has a sexual violence prevention page on its website that has a wealth of knowledge. The information they provide cannot only help someone from becoming a victim, but also from becoming a perpetrator out of ignorance. “One of the best ways [for students] to prevent becoming a victim is to be more responsible about their conduct,” Newport said. “One way for students to be more responsible is to be more informed.” Janssen-Robison said her advice to students is learning about sexual violence so you are not supporting a rape myth. “It is not one person, one department or one initiative that will prevent sexual violence,” JanssenRobinson said. “We must come together as a campus community that is knowledgeable about the causes of sexual violence, educated about and engaged in coordinated and comprehensive prevention efforts and be trained so we are ready and willing to intervene on behalf of another to prevent bad things from happening to someone else.” Students should use the buddy system and limit their drinking. Alcohol is the No. 1 date rape drug. The sexual prevention page on ISU’s website has many resources, facts and ways to educate students about sexual violence, its causes, preventions and ways of getting help. The link to the website is http://www.indstate.edu/ svp/index.htm. Besides a victim advocate, Indiana State University has a counseling center for students who are victims. They can provide the counseling and support needed for a victim of sexual assault.

Alums help with Homecoming costs SHAWNTALE JONES Reporter
This past weekend was one of the biggest events for ISU alumni, Homecoming. One would think that an event of this size would cost the university a great deal of money, but the truth is that most of the funds came from the Alumni Association. The majority of the tents put up during the Homecoming game inside Tent City were purchased by alumni of Indiana State University. This means that the Alumni Association was a major key in helping out ISU’s Homecoming. For this reason there are alumni distinction awards to reward past Indiana State Un ive rs it y students f o r
their monetary contributions to the school and important traditions the school has. Freda Luers confirmed that outside organizations such as fraternities and sororities come up with their own budgets. “The student organizations haves no part in the budgeting of Homecoming,” Luers said. “All the tents that were put up except those … placed on campus such as Sodexo and Pickerl Hall come from the Residential Life Office, or funded by the school.” Ben Buchanan, a freshman business administration major and member of Pi Kappa Phi, says that all funds for Homecoming events come from within the chapters. “The chapter members take funds out and use them to throw a cookout for the chapter’s Alumni, and each member are charged just about $15; this is for current chapter members,” Buchanan said. “After the cookout is complete, the chapter Alumni returns the favor by throwing current members a cookout, this is where the $15 comes in at, and this is their way of raising the money back.”

Sexual assault hurts men, women
Kim Jong Un’s health declines, addiction suspected
In most of my columns, I try to be understanding of various men and their personalities, but I believe that the manner in which I will be writing won’t be as considerate, especially with the given topic of sexual assault. If you sexually Columnist assault a woman, then you have completely lost view of what manhood truly is and will have to do a hell of a lot to recover from such a disreputable act. To prevent this act, let’s first eradicate our ignorance and educate ourselves on what it is, and then I am more than happy to deliver supporting reasons as to why it is wrong. According to Justice.gov, sexual assault is defined as “any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient.” It gave some more detail of the acts, but I feel that this should be good enough to get an understanding of it without including some of the obscenities. The typical slogan of “No Means No” comes to mind here for good reason. A guy must have a really low social competency to not understand what “no” means. Actually, he probably has no understanding of the English language if he doesn’t know that the term “no” implies a curtailing effect.
Kim Jong Un, known as the “Great Leader,” “Supreme Leader” or as “Fatty the Third,” depending on who you talk to, is having medical issues and has not been seen in public for nearly a month. This is extremely uncommon for him; in July alone he made 25 public appearances. Columnist An absence from public view this long is uncommon for the leader of North Korea. North Korea state media said that Kim Jong Un is suffering from “discomfort.” This has led many news outlets outside of North Korea to speculate about why he is out of the public eye. One of the more entertaining speculations is that during his years of schooling in Europe, Kim Jong Un became addicted to cheese and since coming to power after the death of his father a few years ago, he has gained a massive amount of weight. His ballooning appearance is a clear sign something is up with his eating habits. Being ruler of a cult of personality such as North Korea must be very stressful and it’s not that odd for him to eat more and gain weight from being stressed. Even though millions of people in North Korea are starving to death, their “Great Leader” has spent massive amounts of money on fancy imported cheese. According to the Daily News, his favorite type of cheese is Emmental, a savory cheese from Switzerland that isn’t cheap. His North Korea Continued on pAGE 5

If a girl is displeased with the way you are touching her and she clearly tells you to stop, then you should stop with no question. I just feel bad for you, because it clearly addresses your incapability to interpret a woman’s signals. If she has to tell you to stop more than once, you’ll most likely end up on her list of creepy guys. There go your chances with her. Not only does sexual assault address your incapability to read a woman, but it also reveals your immaturity. That’s right, immaturity. Men are typically viewed as being ambitious and taking what they want for a better end, but most of those protagonists in those heroic stories displayed some diligence and — more importantly — self-control. You know who displays a severe lack of self-control? Children. When you do not adhere to any selfcontrol that you have the capability to demonstrate, you are voluntarily choosing to act like a boy. We have enough boys posing to be men today, so choose to grow up and be a man. One of the most frustrating things about this scenario is the violation of trust. If a girl is hanging with a guy, privately or publicly, she is obviously displaying some form of trust. What comes with trust? Security. So, she feels safe and secure with that; she is displaying her trust with her presence. Maybe I am revealing a little bit of my ignorance here, but why in
the hell would a guy ever want to make a woman feel unsafe or insecure? To intentionally do that is to intentionally obliterate one of the pillars upon which your very manhood is supported. If you’re a bystander in this situation at a party, then you might as well be shaking hands with the devil in agreement that it is acceptable. I’m not saying to try to be a girl’s hero every time a guy is giving a girl a hard time at the bar. We’d have so many “heroes” that Marvel Comics wouldn’t know what to do with them. What I am saying is that we all have an understanding where we can recognize when a situation begs for intervention. When that opportunity arises, I hope you get your pants and step up. Now, if there are any women reading this, please let a guy know if you find whatever he is doing uncomfortable. Everyone needs to be told when they are crossing the line to make them accountable. Also, if there are other guys around who could help, or even his friends, please let them know. We won’t be able to help if we don’t know about it. Realistically, girls shouldn’t need to put up with guys when it comes to sexual assault. I know that the modern woman is strong and independent, but I don’t believe that should give guys an excuse to not step up into our role as men today.

Beyonce’s edited photos promote thigh gap craze The image of Beyonce is nearly inescapable today, a phenomenon that has been largely accepted and supported by her newest album and legion of fans. A possible reason that Beyonce’s image has been lauded without much upset is the authenticity that she Opinions seems to radiate. Though she’s likened Editor to a goddess during her meticulously executed performances, her demeanor remains to be that of a humble girl from Texas whose parents raised her well. That combination of Beyonce’s newly revamped rhythm and blues/hip-hop sound, down-to-earth persona despite her extreme wealth and powerful performances have made Beyonce into a relatable and admirable celebrity

who people across all backgrounds can appreciate. However, with the “thigh gap” craze still managing to remain relevant as an ideal for young women to strive for, Beyonce may have gotten caught up in the fad. Due to a series of Instagram photos, fans are calling Beyonce out on attempting to edit a thigh gap into her pictures. According to ET Online, the first edit was spotted about six months ago in an Instagram photo of her playing golf with a beautiful tropical background. In the picture, Beyonce’s semi-squat stance reveals a type of waviness in her thighs that forced fans to question how much of her thighs were hacked away with an editing tool. ET later reported that her thighs were questionable in a photo posted two months ago where a wavy or curved iPhone near her leg suggests some sort of photo manipulation.

addiction to this savory treat developed while studying in Europe as a child. Originally his weight gain was attributed to his desire to resemble his grandfather, Kim Il Sung, the first leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea — North Korea’s official name. The massive amount of weight he gained is probably causing his “discomfort,” as the North Korea state media put it. Many news outlets speculate gout and diabetes caused by his poor diet and massive weight gain to be the culprit of his “discomfort.” Poor diet can cause gout, which is a buildup of uric acid that causes pain. Diabetes, particularly Type 2, can occur in adults as a result of poor diet or inactivity. For a few months prior to his extended absence from the public eye, Kim Jong Un was seen walking with a limp. This can be seen as indication that he is experiencing pain related to gout or diabetes, but it also caused more speculation that Kim Jong Un is suffering from two broken ankles from rapid weight gain and excessive walking. One would think that eating massive amounts of
Both instances were largely forgotten and the ‘Beehive’ remained intact. But the supposed last straw came with a photo that she posted last month of her walking down stairs in a bikini on a yacht. Critics have pointed an irregularity in the photo where one of the steps appears crooked in between her legs, which also suggested photo editing. On the Wendy Williams Show, Williams expressed her disinterest in the thigh gap speculation. Though Williams did say that if she doesn’t like a photo she “just wouldn’t post it” rather than edit it, it doesn’t matter if anyone does edit because “it’ll all come out in the wash.” Williams said she believes Beyonce or anyone else can edit anything they want but what really counts is their appearance in person where the edited features don’t exist. Life and Style Weekly later reported that Beyonce “shot down” all accusations of photo editing by posting a simple picture of herself in shorts that revealed
cheese would make his bones stronger from the calcium in dairy products, but he could have gained weight too fast and caused fractures because his joints could not support his massive frame. Whatever the cause is for his long absence, it is unlikely we will ever know for sure due to the secrecy and a refusal to paint the “Great Leader” as weak. North Korea puts their leaders at the top of everything. They have pictures of them in central locations in every home, which are praised for every good thing that happens to the people of North Korea. Disobeying the commands of the “Great Leader” can land a citizen and even their family in jail for their whole lives. Even though we will probably never know what the real reason for his absence
her slender legs and that was that. Though Beyonce’s image may have the power to impact millions, whether she has an actual thigh gap or whether she’s thick or thin is of no importance when her work as an artist is reviewed rather than her lifestyle. Being under the microscope is a constant issue that celebrities face, female celebrities certainly experience it at higher levels of scrutiny than men. This obsession with her legs seems to be the product of that sexist view, so I don’t give much attention to what she’s wearing or how her hair looks, and won’t until male celebrities somehow come under that sort of analysis. What counts far more than everyone’s obsession with Beyonce’s body is her musical prowess that captivates the emotions and interest of millions of people worldwide. Rather than hone in on her body, the discussion should remain focused on the musical and aesthetic power of her album “Beyonce.”
is, speculating about it is fun. It is almost like Wheel of Fortune; we have some clues and we guess about what it is. Maybe he is really in bed recovering from two broken ankles because he ate too much imported cheese and got fat. Emmental is the name of the cheese that Kim Jong Un is supposedly addicted to. However, we will probably never know if an addiction is truly the cause of the dictator’s “discomfort” (clipart. com).

Mr. and Miss Gay ISU make annual debut Mariah Lee Reporter The annual 2014 Mr. and Miss Gay ISU will be held this Wednesday Oct. 15, 2014 at 6 p.m. in University Hall. The cost will be $3 at the door and seats will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Mr. and Miss Gay ISU is an annual pageant where ISU students dress up as the opposite sex and compete against one another in different categories. Alexa Mayer, sophomore English education major and Director of Outreach and Education for Spectrum, said she’s excited for the contest. “The contestants for Miss Gay ISU are drag queens, who are men portraying females, and the contestants for Mr.
Gay ISU are drag kings, who are women portraying males. There will be talent, unique outfits and incredible personalities,” Mayer said. “This is a side of the LGBT community that Terre Haute only gets to see once a year. Students should come because it’s a great opportunity to see a unique type of pageant,” Mayer said. This year there will be five drag queens and three drag kings. The Mr. and Miss Gay ISU pageant will have six performers this year. One of which will be Nikki St. Queer, aka Nick Pennington. Nick Pennington is a senior social work major and last year’s Miss Gay ISU. He will be giving up his title and crowning this year’s Mr. Gay ISU.
“This experience has been amazing. I’m so honored and I appreciate the opportunity to represent the LBGT students of ISU with administration and advocating for student rights and equality,” Pennington said. Competitors say they will have a good time no matter what. “I am competing myself, and I am so pumped even if I don’t win, just because the atmosphere and the people are exhilarating and truly amazing,” Mayer said. Katelyn Bailey, freshman political science major and Mr. and Miss Gay ISU representative, knows that the committee of this event has worked really hard at making this year’s Mr. and Miss Gay ISU great.
“People should come out and see the show for every reason they would go to any other pageant. I know that the committee has worked really hard to pull off this show and I hope that everyone who comes out has a good time,” Bailey said. The 2014 annual Mr. and Miss Gay ISU pageant is sponsored by ISU Spectrum. The proceeds from this pageant will go to the Indiana Youth Group, a non-profit philanthropy. If you are interested in attending Mr. and Miss Gay ISU, it will be held Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2014 at 6 p.m. in University Hall. The cost will be $3 at the door and early arrival is advised.
Brown Bunny delivery service opens up at ISU Marissa Schmitter Reporter College students love food. It’s a fact. There is a reason they call it the Freshman 15 – because college students are always eating. As a way to satisfy college students’ needs, several Indiana State University students created a food delivery service called Brown Bunny Delivery Services. The service was created in May by Kenneth R. Walker II, who is the CEO of the company. He is currently a senior in business administration and communications with a focus in public relations and a minor in marketing. “I had the idea for the company my freshman year, but did not have the maturity or financial resources to take on such a venture,” Walker said. Brown Bunny Delivery Services is in partnership currently with two local restaurants, including Crossroads Café and The Corner Grind; however, they hope to expand. “Business is all about the consumer. I felt restaurants were leaving out a
significant chunk of their clientele by not offering delivery, so that’s where the idea began,” Walker said. The company currently consists of six employees. Walker said he and the other employees became friends instantly. Nicholas L. Cook is the vice president of technology, and is a graduated information technology major. Melissa Harden is the sales director and a senior communications major with a focus in public relations and a minor in sales and negotiations. Matthew Lyman is the marketing director of Brown Bunny. He is a senior at ISU with business management and economics majors. Courtney Lewis is the chief operations officer. She is a senior at ISU and is an electrical engineering technology major. Lastly is Breanna Johnson, who is the chief programmer of Brown Bunny. She is a junior computer science and business administration major. Walker said he is grateful for his workers. “They are the greatest employees
anyone could ask for. They go above and beyond for the company and are the most loyal individuals I’ve ever met in my life. We wouldn’t be anywhere without them,” Walker said. As for delivering the food, Brown Bunny has a very advanced technological system. The delivery vehicles include food warmers, coolers and freezers so that the food can be as fresh as possible for the customers. Brown Bunny also uses green technology, because they care about the environment. Brown Bunny will also be expanding as a company soon. Instead of just delivering food from partnering restaurants, they will also deliver groceries, flowers and pharmacy products. They hope to have the company expansions up and running in a few weeks. Brown Bunny would like to not only expand in the Terre Haute community, but also in other places such as Evansville, South Bend and Indianapolis in Indiana. “We have a lot of secret plans we cannot discuss. All I can say is what we
are working on will revolutionize an already new market of restaurant and grocery delivery,” Walker said. Some students are not so sure about the service. ISU senior Taylor Johnson, a criminology major and sociology minor, isn’t too sure about the business success during certain seasons. “It’s a possibility I’ll order from them. It sounds like a profitable business, especially during the winter,” Johnson said. Senior Ellyn Hindle, a German major, believes that the business will struggle. “Since I could walk there, I probably wouldn’t order from them. I’m worried they wouldn’t get profit,” Hindle said. The company is located in College of Technology in the Business Engagement Center Suites. Students can order from Brown Bunny Delivery Services by either calling 812-213-4350 or going online to their website www.brownbunnydelivery.com. The first 50 accounts made on their site get $3 delivery for life.

Police captain attends FBI academy Dave Taylor ISU Communications and Marketing Ten weeks at the FBI National Academy provided Indiana State University Police Capt. Ian Loomis with training from some of the top law enforcement experts in the country. But the time he spent at the Quantico, Virginia, facility also made connections for the university police department that will help make the Indiana State campus safer, Loomis said. More than 200 local police officers from throughout the nation and several countries participated in the 257th session of the academy. Since completing the program last month, Loomis has been in regular contact with many of his classmates, FBI officials and some of the more than 17,000 National Academy Associates, graduates of the academy who make up what has been called “the world’s largest law enforcement network,” he said. “Every day there is a new email that pops up alerting us about [criminal] trends or the latest information about officer safety. This networking is such a strong and important tool that can help benefit every department,” Loomis said. The Valparaiso, Indiana, native who holds a bachelor’s degree in criminology from Indiana State said academy sessions placed a strong emphasis on physical fitness as well as such areas as building an intelligence department, investigation and interrogation techniques — “how to
talk to a suspect to get the most important answers to your questions,” he said. Legal issues were also covered — “making sure that your department is not only enforcing the law but is following the law,” he said. Attendees also learned about federal laboratory assistance that can be called upon in the event of a major incident. “We learned just what exactly is available to us if we ever have a large incident, especially if things went downhill,” Loomis said. “The availability of resources that the bureau and other government agencies can provide is something that we just wouldn’t think about being able to have here at ISU or within the city of Terre Haute or the state police even, for that matter.” That information is especially valuable for Loomis whose position with the university police department places him in charge of managing security for major campus events, such as football and basketball games and the recent Color Run that drew more than 5,000 participants. At age 32 and in law enforcement for about 10 1/2 years, the first 1 1/2 years as a correctional officer at the Vigo County Jail, Loomis is younger and less experienced than the typical National Academy attendee. The average experience of participants is 19 years. Former university police Chief Bill Mercier and current chief Joe Newport recommended him for the program and Newport said Loomis’ selection speaks to

his maturity and leadership skills. “Ian has proven himself time and time again, both in the field and as a command officer,” Newport said. “We are fortunate to have someone like Capt. Loomis. Our department and the entire university will benefit from his FBI training and from the professional connections he made at the National Academy.”

College football slated to entertain JEREMY BEAVER Reporter This week will once again surely have tough battles by both ranked and unranked matchups. Teams are either fighting for slots in the Top 25, a spot in the National Championship, a bowl game, or simply pride. The football season just grows more and more intense as the season draws closer to its end week by week. No. 5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish at No. 2 Florida State Seminoles This Saturday night the Irish take on the Seminoles in what is sure to be a battle to see which team really wants to play in the National Championship more. Florida State is the reigning National Championship holder and fell down a slot to No. 2 this past week as Mississippi State took their spot at No. 1. The Fighting Irish have been a force to be reckoned with so far this season, but Florida State will be a true test of strength. Notre Dame has truly worked their way up in the Top 25. However, everyone is curious as to which Notre Dame team will show up; the one that shut out Michigan 31-0 in week two, or the Notre Dame team that barely squeaked by the North Carolina Tar Heels by a touchdown. Last week, Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson threw for 300 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the Tar Heels. Running back Tarean Folston had 18 carries for 98 yards and two touchdowns. On the other hand, the Tar Heels capitalized on the Irish’s poor defense, scoring 36 points in two quarters. Prediction: Notre Dame 38, Florida State 37 No. 23 Stanford Cardinal at No. 17 Arizona State Sun Devils Two Pac-12 teams who are in the risk of falling out of the Top 25 are fighting to maintain their position
this week at Sun Devil Stadium. Stanford is 0-2 against Top 25 teams — USC and Notre Dame — and both losses were only by three points. After several close but tough losses, Stanford does not seem to be able to pull it together when it comes to facing Top 25 teams. Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan threw for 284 yards and three touchdowns last week in a 34-17 win against the Washington State Cougars. Stanford running back Remound Wright also ran for 98 yards on 14 carries and contributed to the team with one touchdown. Coming off of a bye, the Sun Devils are looking to keep their momentum going from a week of rest. Two weeks ago, Arizona State took down No. 22 USC. Arizona State quarterback threw for an astonishing 510 yards and five touchdowns. Prediction: Stanford 33, Arizona State 42 No. 14 Kansas State Wildcats at No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners Oklahoma hosts rival Kansas State in another conference showdown. These two Big 12 teams have had both their ups and downs this season in trying to contend in the Top 25, but in the end, only one team can come out on top. Oklahoma has a lot of momentum heading into this game after winning the Golden Hat Trophy by beating their longtime rival Texas Longhorns 31-26 in the 109th Red River Showdown. The Sooners were struggling against the Longhorns, entering halftime with only 29 total yards on offense. Texas quarterback Tyrone Swoopes had a total of 334 yards and two touchdowns, while Oklahoma’s quarterback Trevor Knight could not even match half of his total yards. Knight ended the game with only 129 total yards, one touchdown and one interception. On the receiving side of offense, the Longhorns picked up two touchdowns, while the Sooners were only able to pick up one.
On the ground, Texas had a total of 148 yards and one touchdown scored by Swoopes, while the Sooners only had 103 yards and one touchdown scored by running back Samaje Perine. However, Oklahoma pulled it out, which makes this team fun to watch and a true contender for the Top Ten. Even when they struggle, they still find ways to come out on top. The Wildcats are coming off of a bye which can also be an advantage to the Sooners. After an entire week off of football, the Wildcats could be a little rusty. Also, after struggling against the Longhorns this past week, the Sooners know what they need to work on this week to be prepared for their matchup against the Wildcats this weekend. Prediction: Kansas State 20, Oklahoma 27 No. 21 Texas A&M Aggies at No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide The Aggies head to Alabama to take on the Crimson Tide in this week’s big SEC matchup. Texas A&M suffered yet again another loss last week to No. 3 Ole Miss. One more loss and the Aggies could face the potential of being knocked out of the Top 25. Therefore, Texas A&M has a lot to play for this week. Aggies quarterback Kenny Hill threw for 401 yards last week against the Rebels. Aggies receiver Speedy Noil also caught for 360 yards and three touchdowns. However, the Aggies still could not pull through in getting the upset. This past week, Alabama barely pulled out a win against the Arkansas Razorbacks by a point. Alabama quarterback Blake Simms threw for 161 yards and two touchdowns. The Crimson Tide defense would hold the Razorbacks to only one touchdown and two field goals and would go on to win it, 14-13. The Crimson Tide has only taken one loss, coincidentally to Ole Miss. Prediction: Texas A&M 17, Alabama 24

ISU counted among nation’s most-improved teams Ace Hunt ISU Athletic Media Relations The Indiana State Sycamore football team remains ranked in both national polls ahead of its trip to top-ranked North Dakota State this Saturday in Fargo. The Sycamores are No. 22 in The Sports Network Top 25 and check in at No. 23 in the FCS Coaches Poll. Indiana State is ranked for the third consecutive week by The Sports Network and is in the Coaches’ Poll for the second week in a row. Indiana State is one of seven Missouri Valley Football Conference schools to appear in both national polls. In The Sports Network FCS Top 25, North Dakota State is No. 1, Illinois State is No. 10, Southern Illinois is No. 14, South Dakota State is No. 18, Northern Iowa is No. 20, Youngstown State is No. 21 and Indiana State is No. 22. The FCS Coaches’ Poll also has North Dakota State at No. 1, Illinois State at No. 9, South Dakota State at No. 16, Southern Illinois at No. 17, Youngstown State at No. 19, Northern Iowa at No. 21 and Indiana State at No. 23. Indiana State’s game at North Dakota State marks the third-consecutive week in which the Sycamores are featured in a game pitting two ranked opponents against each other. The Sycamores are 1-1 in those games this season, including a win over No. 10 Northern Iowa on Oct. 4. NDSU is also the Sycamores’ fourth consecutive nationally ranked opponent, and the Sycamores are 2-1 against ranked teams this season. Four of the Sycamores’ remaining six opponents currently appear in both national polls. The Sycamores are currently tied with Albany for the biggest turnaround in FCS football this season. Indiana State has improved its 1-11 record in 2013 to a 4-2 mark so far in 2014. That equates to a plus-6 differential, which is tied for national lead. Plus-6 is the current MVFC record, achieved twice in league history by Southern Illinois in 2003 and Western Illinois in 2010. No. 22/23 Indiana State will travel to No. 1 North Dakota State on Saturday, Oct. 18 at 3:30 p.m.
Though the Sycamores lost to the Illinois State Redbirds at Saturday’s Homecoming game, they still remain a nationally ranked team at No. 22 by The Sports Network and No. 23 in the FCS Coaches’ Poll (Photo by Tyler Sanders).
The game will be televised nationally on ESPN3. NDSU rides a 30-game winning streak into the contest, with their last defeat coming at the hands of the Sycamores on Oct. 13, 2012, in Fargo. That game still marks Indiana State’s only win over a team ranked No.1 nationally. For the fourth-consecutive week, the Sycamores will be taking on a nationally ranked opponent as they travel to No. 1 North Dakota State on Saturday. ISU is 2-1 this season against ranked opponents, and will be looking for their 14th victory over a nationally ranked program since joining the MVFC 29 seasons ago. Indiana State is the last team to take down North Dakota State, when they won 17-14 in Fargo on Oct. 13, 2012. The Sycamores are 1-8 all-time time against the nation’s top ranked team. The Bison have won 30 consecutive games since the Indiana State victory in 2012. Indiana State junior Connor Underwood kept his streak of consecutive games with a quarterback
sack alive with one against Illinois State this past weekend. Underwood is averaging 7.7 tackles per game to rank tied for sixth in the league. Underwood owns the league lead in quarterback sacks per game with a 1.17 average, a mark that ranks tied for sixth nationally. He has seven total sacks for a loss of 31 yards. He now owns 22.0 for his career and is only 3.5 away from Kyle Mitchell’s current school record of 25.5. He also has 12.5 tackles for a loss this year which is tops in the MVFC and ranks seventh in FCS football. Underwood has 40.0 tackles for a loss in his career and needs only 14.5 more to tie Kyle Mitchell’s school record of 54.5. Mike Perish enters week seven of his senior season, and his third season as the Sycamore starting quarterback, ranked fourth all-time in career passing yards with 4,574. For his career he is 523-of715 for 4,574 yards and 33 touchdowns. He needs 520 more yards to top Reggie Allen’s total of 5,094 yards from 1978-81 for third on the Sycamores alltime list.
Perish missed the Illinois State game as he was held out due to medical reasons. In a tight defensive struggle for much of the game against Illinois State, junior punter Osborn Umeh punted nine times for 340 yards to average 37.8 yards per punt. He had a long punt of 52 yards to help keep control of field position early in the game and pinned the Redbirds inside their own 20-yard line a total of three times. Indiana State junior Gary Owens caught seven passes for 70 yards against Illinois State. Owens caught an 18-yard pass from Matt Adam on fourth-and-10 to spur a fourth-quarter comeback, which nearly netted the Sycamores a third-consecutive victory over a nationally ranked program. Owens’ touchdown was a spectacular one-handed grab in the back right corner of the end zone over two Redbird defenders. On that drive, Owens made a 16-yard reception and a 10-yard reception to keep the ball moving in the Sycamores’ favor.
