OVERRUN IN OVERTIME QB Trevor Knight makes A&M debut, Aggies defeat ranked non-conference opponent for first time since 1989 Lawrence Smelser — THE BATTALION

Heath Clary @Heath_Clary

exas A&M found itself in a crucial position in overtime of Saturday’s contest against No. 16 UCLA. The Aggies had the ball inside the one-yard line on fourth and goal. Head coach Kevin Sumlin could send out the field goal unit for three points,

or he could go for a touchdown and run the risk of essentially giving the Bruins a victory. Sumlin elected to keep the offense on the field, and his gamble was rewarded when senior quarterback Trevor Knight strolled into the end zone for a go-ahead touchdown that put the Aggies up 31-24, a lead they would not relinquish. That moment epitomized the tremendous value of Knight, a graduate transfer from

Oklahoma. He is the first upperclassman to be the full-time starting quarterback under Sumlin, and he came through in a big way when his team needed him most. By keeping the ball on the zone read and sprinting across the goal line, Knight did something an Aggie quarterback wouldn’t have done since the days of Johnny Manziel. He took the team on his back and willed it to victory. His coaching staff trusted that

he could make the correct read on the play and get the job done, and Knight did just that. “I think the communication with him was critical, to go for it on fourth down in overtime,” Sumlin said after the game. “It made it a little bit easier when the communication with your quarterback is, ‘If I pull it, there’s nobody out there.

A&M Hyperloop team preps for competition in January By Gracie Mock @g_mock2

Michael Young reflects on first year as Texas A&M president Michael Young became the university president May 1, 2015.

By Emily Bost @EmmyBost When Michael Young took on his role as President of Texas A&M in May of last year he said he immediately began to learn what being a part of the Aggie Family means. “The students here are so extraordinary, I’ve never seen anything quite like it,” Young said. “I love the fact that people come here for an education of meaning, an education that really helps launch them into the world to be real citizens of substance. I just think that this is a unique education. This is a unique institution. It really is a privilege to be here.” YOUNG ON PG. 2

While some students spent summer vacationing, working and taking classes, the TAMU Aerospace Hyperloop team spent their summer in labs diligently working on their pod in preparation for the Hyperloop Pod competition weekend in January. One year after Hyperloop teams passed the first round of the Hyperloop Pod Competition — a high-speed transportation system involving pods that will carry passengers and cargo at over 700 miles per hour through a near-vacuum tube — the teams were finalized and pod designs began. The TAMU Aerospace team worked through the summer testing the individual aspects of their design, making additional parts and fixing any issues they encountered in the building phase. Over the summer, SpaceX, the company hosting the competition, made multiple changes to the rules and requirements, including a major adjustment to move the competition dates. Teams will now compete on the one-year anniversary of the

design in the last week of January to offer two test weekends on the track. “It gives us a little more space, a little more time to incorporate some more of the things we needed to do,” said Adonios Karpetis, associate professor of aerospace engineering and faculty advisor. “We have a lot more space, but now what they are actually asking is that we test the pod in California in August, some teams, and in October and we’re in the October frame. So we have to go there and test the pod, it all works pretty much the same way.” Christian Sotelo, aerospace engineering senior and TAMU Aerospace team member, said the purpose of going to the test track in October is primarily to get feedback from SpaceX. “They’re just going to inspect it basically and if they say it’s ready to go, we get to test it, if it’s not, we probably come home,” Sotelo said. “So get everything to see if it passes the preliminary inspection for the actual inspection in January, for the actual competition in January.” Aerospace graduate student and TAMU HYPERLOOP ON PG. 4

The “Boneheads” flew F-22 Raptors above Kyle Field before the A&M vs. UCLA game Saturday.

FLYOVER CONTINUED “This has been one of the dreams of my career, to come do a flyover here at A&M as a former student ... I knew I wanted to do it since I decided I was going into the Air Force,” Davis said. The flyover was completed with four F-22 Raptor stealth jets. All of the jets hovered approximately 10 miles from Kyle Field before being given the cue to complete their flight so they would fly directly over the field at the end of the national anthem. Captain Daniel Barina, 95th squadron, said he could not wait to see how the flyover will be executed. “Right after we do it, we always like to laugh about how much we screwed up.

ground so you think it went fine,” Barina said. “You won’t be able to see us in the cockpit, maybe if you’re in the nosebleeds. But, in the air, we’re screaming like someone’s head caught on fire.” Although the F-22 Raptors flew over Kyle Field at 300 miles per hour, the jets can go twice the speed of light. “We actually have to suit up a lot when we get in there,” Major Michael Jones, 95th squadron, said. “We have to put on bags with air bladders to regulate our blood circulation while we fly. These things go fast.” Although he is an alumni of the U.S. Air Force Academy, Jones’ wife is a former student and he said he enjoyed being able to participate in this tradition. “I actually didn’t go to the school, but I came to a lot of the games and I used to visit my wife here when she was my girlfriend,” Jones said. “I like to think of myself as an Aggie.”

During the game against Auburn in 2015, A&M President Michael Young announced the fundraising campaign ‘Lead by Example’ through the world’s largest card stunt.

YOUNG CONTINUED Young said Aggie traditions like Midnight Yell and the Aggie “War Hymn” have resonated with him because they demonstrate the type of community and long-lasting connection between students and alumni at Texas A&M. He said Muster is the most profound tradition he’s experienced. “I came early, actually, before I even started, because they told me that Muster was something that would help me to better understand the university and appreciate why it’s so important and why this university matters so much,” Young said. Young said there are a number of projects his office is currently working on. “We think that the great advantage of coming to a great research university for the students is a chance to have a really transformative intellectual experience,” Young said. “Students are not just passive receptacles of knowledge, but they in fact, themselves, develop their own critical thinking and analytical capacities. They develop capacities to problem solve, to take disparate tracks of information and put them together in coherent conceptual frameworks.” One issue Young dealt with in the past year came last February when visiting high

school students were reportedly the victims of racial slurs. In response, Young sent multiple emails to students and faculty denouncing prejudicial behavior and encouraged students to embrace diversity. “I hope that history will reflect that we’ve tried to handle [racial issues] with as much openness, honesty and candor as we could,” Young said. “Notions of any kind of discrimination, bigotry, are just fundamentally, ethically, morally wrong. I’ve spent a lot of my career combating that in the human rights arena.” Amy Smith, senior vice president and chief marketing and communications officer at Texas A&M, moved from Washington D.C. to begin working for A&M in July 2016. She said Young invested in her role at Texas A&M to aim for gaining more national and global recognition and awareness as a university. “I think he’s terrific because he is unique and he is an academic,” Smith said. “He’s been a professor himself for years and understands what students want to hear about and understands also how to lead a university at its most operational level. I think that’s so vital to being a leader — to know the ins and outs of how a university works, and he gets that.”

What we learned from A&M’s overtime win over No.16 UCLA

KNIGHT MAY BE AS GOOD AS ADVERTISED

The Oklahoma transfer played about as well as could be expected in his first game wearing maroon and white. He was accurate, efficient and outplayed UCLA’s hyped sophomore Josh Rosen in every facet of the game. Knight really found his groove in the second quarter. In the Aggies’ first touchdown drive of the game — an 11-play sequence that covered 70 yards — he completed all six of his passes for 42 yards. But where Knight really proved his worth was in the fourth quarter and overtime. With under a minute remaining in regulation, the San Antonio Reagan product showed his athleticism by hurdling a UCLA would-be tackler to earn a crucial first-down. Then, on the Aggies’ final offensive play of the day, Knight came through when his team needed him most. On fourth down and goal from inside the one-yard-line, Knight kept the ball on a zone read play and plunged into the end zone for a pivotal go-ahead score. “The D-end crashes, I walk into the end zone on fourth and one and that’s an incredible feeling,” Knight said after the game.

AGGIE DEFENSE LOOKS LIKE THE REAL DEAL

YOUNG RUNNING BACK DUO SHOWS PROMISE

The Texas A&M defense showed tremendous improvement last season in its first year under Chavis, and it seems like the Aggies have taken another step forward in 2016. Chavis repeatedly dialed up blitzes to get after Rosen, and most of the time it worked to perfection. Rosen was under relentless pressure all game long and although he was sacked five times, even when he didn’t get sacked he was still forced to move around in the pocket and was never able to get comfortable. “[The pass rush] definitely contributed to [Rosen’s interceptions],” A&M defensive end Myles Garrett said. “We were trying to get him to force some throws—that was the game plan. Try to make him run, see if he can throw on the run, see if he can throw under pressure and we just did

Maintaining a consistent running attack is something the Aggies have struggled to do in the past, but the duo of Trayveon Williams and Keith Ford yielded encouraging results on Saturday. Williams gained 94 yards on the ground, including a 42-yard run in the first half, and Ford ran for 65 yards on 14 carries. If the two running backs can continue being this productive as the season progresses, offen-

our job.” The Bruins ended the game with 468 yards, but most of those yards came in the fourth quarter and the defense before that was excellent. They coaxed Rosen into three interceptions, and Evans, who recorded two of those, including an acrobatic grab in the fourth quarter, said the team prepared for Rosen the same way they would any other quarterback. “We just see him as another quarterback,” Evans said. “We’re going to watch film on whoever we’re playing no matter what the guy’s name is. We’re just going to work hard and compete.” The defense showed some vulnerability to the aerial attack in the second half, but they showed the ability to stop the run better than past years and should be a solid unit moving forward.

sive coordinator Noel Mazzone will have even more weapons at his disposal and more flexibility in his play calling. Christian Kirk said that an effective ground game can yield positive results for the other playmakers on offense. “It’s easier on Trevor and it’s easier on everyone,” Kirk said. “I think everyone saw what we’re able to do when the running game is going, it opens up everything.”

guy that’s over there, that sees that and can see the game — that really helps you as a team and helps the play caller too.” Kyle Allen likely couldn’t have done what Knight did because he lacks Knight’s athleticism. Kyler Murray likely wouldn’t have done it because he lacks Knight’s leadership. However, Knight wasn’t perfect in his Aggie debut. He missed some throws, didn’t look comfortable in the pocket at times and his offense sputtered late in the fourth quarter when it needed to seal the game. But the final score diminishes those struggles. When the dust settled, Knight had led the maroon and white to a victory in front of an electric home crowd at Kyle Field because he came through in the game’s most critical situation. “I thought he played unbelievable,” said wide receiver Christian Kirk, who caught eight passes from Knight for 58 yards. “Especially with the adversity we faced. Trevor played his butt off and I couldn’t be more proud to have him on our team.” Knight, being the ultimate leader that he is, gave credit to the defense for a job well done. “We didn’t manage the ball real well — especially in the fourth quarter — and our defense stepped up big-time,” Knight said. “With all the QB pressures, the three turnovers, they played lights out. They were the MVP of this game.” And he’s right — the defense played extremely well and it looks like the unit might have taken another step forward after showing tremendous improvement last year in defensive coordinator John Chavis’ first season. On that side of the ball, the Aggies harassed highly regarded UCLA sophomore quarterback Josh Rosen all game long, using a relentless pass rush to force Rosen out of the pocket, to throw on the run and make him uncomfortable. Rosen was sacked five times in the game, and he was hit and hurried on several other occasions. “[The pass rush] definitely contributed to [Rosen’s interceptions],” said All-American defensive end Myles Garrett, who sacked Rosen twice. “We were trying to get him to force some throws — that was the game plan. Try to make him run, see if he can throw on the run, see if he can throw under pressure and we just did our job.” Sure, the Aggies looked vulnerable in the fourth quarter and gave up a lot of yards and points, but that can be expected when facing an elite talent like Rosen. Eventually he is going to find some holes in the secondary and take advantage of them. But, similar to Knight, the defense shook off its respective struggles and came through with the game on the line. When Rosen and the rest of the Bruin offense had the ball at the five-yard line in overtime needing a touchdown to prolong the game, the Aggie defense forced two incompletions to end the game and deliver Aggieland a victory on opening weekend. All told, Sumlin’s squad proved that it has the grit and mettle to fight through adversity and come out on top. As the calendar flips to October, November and beyond, there are going to be more tests similar to the one faced Saturday. The Aggies must stay tough while also improving.

HYPERLOOP CONTINUED Aerospace team member Dean Ellis said the extended deadline gave the team much needed time as they encountered multiple problems. “[We handled it] one problem at a time, just troubleshooting and then brainstorming because when we have an issue we don’t know what’s wrong with it so then we just brainstorm what could be the possible problems and then we tackle each problem separately until it gets solved,” Ellis said. Most parts are made on campus in the Engineering Innovation Center labs, but the team has had help from outside companies as well. “For our braking system, we had a lot of different components bought and shipped to us and then we’re gonna assemble it,” said mechanical engineering graduate student and TAMU Aerospace team member Brian Hubbard. “It’s still a custom system, it was custom made for us, but it was made outside.” Ellis said the major progress made over the summer was testing the system. “Before the summer started we had only prototypes and computational work, so for the first time we were able to test full scale bearings,” Ellis said. “We’re still having some issues, but we’re still trying to work through.” TEES Engineering Advisory Council (EAC) is funding the project after the team impressed 60 former top graduates from the Engineering department with their detailed design and presentation. Karpetis said the former students were appreciative of the work and its potential. “Beyond facilitating this fundraising, TEES generally and Dean Banks particularly have supported the Hyperloop team in numerous ways — from tangible like funding for salaries to intangible like providing space in the Engineering Innovation Center where the pod can be put together,” Karpetis said. “We hope to make them proud by winning the competition, or at least levitating faster and farther than any other team during the SpaceX competition in January.”
