Alexandria Burke Third-year in speech and hearing sciences
For many students, introducing oneself to a class can be a daunting experience. For students who stutter, like Alexandria Burke, a third-year in speech and hearing sciences, the fear goes far beyond typical public-speaking jitters. The fear isn’t just that she is nervous to talk, the fear is that she won’t be able to talk at all. “I’ve encountered some people who think that stuttering (occurs) because you don’t know what to say,” Burke said. “You know exactly what you want to say. You just don’t know the words.” Students who Stutter Promoting Environments of Awareness and Kindness is a new group for students and faculty who stutter, have close friends or family who stutter, or simply want to learn more about the fluency disorder. Rebecca McCauley, a professor in the Speech and Hearing Department and co-founder of SSPEAK, said that the group will not be focused on speech therapy, but rather providing a safe place for those who stutter and those who support them, where they can share their experiences. According to the National Stuttering Association, over 3 million Americans stutter. A common misconception of stuttering is that it relates to other emotional or intellectual challenges, which McCauley said is not the case. The exact cause of stuttering remains a mystery, but it is believed to be subtle neurological difficulties involving the rapid information processing required for planning speech-related movements. Many eloquent and famous people throughout history have stutSSPEAK CONTINUES ON 2

Students gather at a watch party for the first presidential debate between Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican candidate Donald Trump, hosted in the Ohio Union by Ohio State’s chapter of College Republicans on Sept. 26. College Democrats and the non-partisan International Affairs Scholars also hosted their own watch parties, at Gateway and Taylor Tower residence hall, respectively. In-depth coverage of campus politicos’ takeaways from the debate can be found on TheLantern.com.
Student organization builds community for military families
“At the very essence of it, it’s bringing kids together who share a common experience,” Ferrari said. “These kids often feel like they’re the only one in that situation, but they’re really not.” Buckeyes for Ohio Military Kids is a club for OSU students that volunteers with Ohio Military Kids. The group helps run events for Ohio Military Kids and raises support for the program. Monica Sarp, a second-year in health sciences and president of Buckeyes for Military Kids, said that volunteering is a way to help families through fun. “I think because it really makes an impact on the kids, it really helps them, even just for a day,” Sarp said. “I don’t think a lot of MILITARY CONTINUES ON 2

NICK MCWILLIAMS Sports Editor mcwilliams.66@osu.edu With three games down and nine to go, the Ohio State football team enters Big Ten play with a perfect record and a positive outlook for the rest of the season. The No. 2 Buckeyes bowled over then-No. 14 Oklahoma to round out nonconference play, 4524. Although the Sooners were the first true test for the Buckeyes in 2016, conference play determines the validity of any top-ranked team and its chances of reaching the College Football Playoff. After enjoying a day off on Saturday, OSU has shifted focus to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and their head coach Chris Ash, former co-defensive coordinator for the Buckeyes under OSU coach Urban Meyer from 2014 to 2015. With a daunting Big Ten schedule ahead, the OSU is doing its best to focus on Rutgers without putting too much thought into the rest of the schedule before the game kicks off. “It’s so early right now and you better worry about the next game, the next practice, the next game, and not worry about anything else,” Meyer said. “That’s my concern is with all the added publicity, press conferences and everybody being told how good they are, that’s, I really worry about that.” Combined, the rest of the Big Ten excluding OSU has a record of 31-13 overall, with five undefeated teams. Of those five, the Buckeyes will be facing four of them. Even with the time off during the bye week and the implications of the rest of the season, the team is focused on the next matchup.
SHERIDAN HENDRIX Lantern reporter hendrix.87@osu.edu Military deployment has always affected service members’ families, and deployment in the age of the War on Terror has proved no different, especially for children. Ohio Military Kids is an organization that works with children whose parents have been deployed or are currently serving in active duty. The group’s mission is to support children of deployed service members through educational, social and recreational programs. The program began in 2005, in response to the sudden rise in military families arising from U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.Ohio Military Kids also works closely with the Ohio National Guard and services children of the Guard, but programming is open to children from all branches of the military.

tered, including Winston Churchill, Marilyn Monroe, James Earl Jones, and one of the university’s most famous friends, Annie Glenn — a speech and hearing activist and wife of astronaut and former Sen. John Glenn, for whom the College of Public Affairs is named. SSPEAK is also an official chapter of the National Stuttering Association. Its chapter name is The Annie Glenn Chapter. Burke is a co-founder of SSPEAK. She received speech therapy in high school, but once she got to college, she didn’t feel like her stutter was enough of a distraction for her to need therapy. Then, she was in car accident and wasn’t able to go to school for a period. When she returned, the stuttering had become worse. “It was really difficult to find help for someone my age,” Burke said. “I was lucky to come into contact with Dr. McCauley and receive speech therapy through OSU. But I noticed that there were not a lot of outlets for people who stutter. I didn’t even know anyone who stuttered. Even my speech and hearing major friends didn’t
really know much about fluency speech disorders like stuttering.” Together Burke and McCauley decided to form SSPEAK to spread awareness and support fellow stutterers. Common struggles stutterers face, Burke said, include speaking on the phone, introducing oneself to a class, ordering food, and meeting someone for the first time. Burke said she hopes SSPEAK will be a place for the OSU community to learn about what these students are facing, as well as a way to meet new people and collaborate with faculty members of the Department of Speech and Hearing. “I know a lot of acquaintances who don’t even know I stutter and what a problem it can be,” Burke said. SSPEAK’s first meeting will be this Wednesday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. in Room 120 of Pressey Hall, on West Campus.

people think about when parents get deployed and how it affects their kids. If we can just help these kids have fun, even just for a day, then it’s worth it. It goes a long way.” Ohio Military Kids hosts a number of activities and programs year-round for the youths and their families, including sports camps with OSU athletes, seasonal day trips and overnight family camps. The program’s main attraction, however, is its annual summer camp Camp Kelleys Island is a fiveday summer camp for kids aged 9 through 15, held on Kelleys Island, an island on Lake Erie. Ferrari said that while the camp might not be too different from other summer camps, Ohio Military Kids makes the campers’ experience special. “If you came to camp and looked around, you would not necessarily know it was for military kids,” Ferrari said. “It’s basically like any other camp for kids, except for a small percentage of the activities we call the ‘military culture’ flavor.” The camp’s schedule includes typical summer activities like obstacle courses, crafts and swimming, but also incorporates activities fitting to its military roots, such as demos from Navy SEALs and helicopter landings in the middle of camp.

Members of the Ohio National Guard and other service members often visit camp during the week to meet campers and participate in activities. “Not too many 9-year-olds get to meet a general, but (past campers have met) several generals over the years who have come to camp,” Ferrari said. Ferrari said that this year’s camp stuck out to her in a way that most year’s sessions have not. “Our oldest campers are 15, they were all born afterwards, they don’t know a life other than a post9/11 world,” Ferrari said. “Some of their parents probably even signed on after 9/11. It makes you pause and think about what that means to families and the resilience that they have. That’s what you see in these kids.” The Engaged Scholars logo accompanies stories that feature and examine research and teaching partnerships formed between the Ohio State University and the community (local, state, national and global) for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources.

“O-H-I-O! Police brutality has got to go,” chanted a crowd of protesters remembering the life of 13-year-old Tyre King as they marched through The Oval on Monday evening. King, who died two weeks ago, was shot and killed by Columbus Division of Police officer Bry-
an Mason after police said King pulled a BB gun from his waistband, which officers said they mistook for a firearm. OSU Coalition for Black Liberation, an OSU student organization, coordinated the event in an effort to bring attention to other black lives lost as well. The march began outside the Neil Avenue entrance of Thompson Library and proceeded through it and onto The Oval.
The protesters then moved towards the Wexner Center for the Arts plaza and continued into the street, blocking the intersection of East 15th Avenue and North High Street for 13 minutes, one minute for each year of King’s life. The protest ended in the Ohio Union after a “die-in,” in which participants lied down on the floor of the Union for 13 minutes, once again in remembrance of King’s life.

Mock debate offers real reflection on upcoming election On Sept. 14, I had the privilege of visiting Ohio State to participate in a debate sponsored by the OSU chapter of the Alexander Hamilton Society focusing on foreign policy and the 2016 election. For those of you who missed it, it was fun night with a packed auditorium and a crackling exchange between myself, speaking unofficially as a surrogate for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and OSU professor Randall Schweller, speaking unofficially as a surrogate for Donald Trump. I loved the passion and involvement by the OSU students and wanted to share post-debate thoughts with a wider group. This election is important because, while many of you do not like Clinton or Trump, the decision we make about voting in 2016 may represent a profound risk to our nation. The focus of my remarks was on each candidate’s fitness to be commander in chief and to lead our foreign policy. I compared Clinton with Trump in three areas critical to foreign policy — experience, temperament and philosophy. I started with the premise that experience matters, even when not all experience was successful. Experience matters whether you are hiring an Ohio State football coach, picking a surgeon, or voting for the president of the United States. Think about it: We don’t want an unprepared or ignorant rookie for any of those positions, particularly the president of the United States. Temperament also matters, and it is clear that Trump is not only inexperienced and ignorant as it relates to foreign policy, he also represents a clear danger to the United
States by virtue of his divisive message and authoritarian temperament. Anyone paying attention to this campaign has seen and read about how Trump is thin-skinned, bullying, authoritarian and narcissistic. Trump offers childish insults aimed at everyone from women, to the disabled, to calling Mexicans rapists and murderers. At the same time, he praises and promotes ruthless tyrants such as Kim Jong Un, Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin. He seems to openly like the idea of world leaders who crush democracy and

Regarding the foreign policy philosophy of the candidates, Professor Schweller tried to make the case that Trump is more of a realist while Clinton favors a continuation of liberal idealism. Trump is less realist and more reality TV! Given his prior statements and inconsistencies about foreign policy, it is doubtful Trump even understands what realism is. Rather he is a bully seeking the ultimate ego and reality TV power play — the presidency of the United States. Noth-
ing in his career or life has prepared him for the trust we must give our president to keep our nation safe, to shepherd our democracy or to represent all of us to the rest of the world. At the debate, I also spoke of Clinton’s philosophy, which is not liberal idealism but much more a pragmatic centrist blend of realism, idealism, politics and duty to protect our military personnel. Clinton is no interventionist or hawk as some have argued; she believes war should always be a last resort. She also understands that power and leverage are best not used in war but in preserving stability and security. Examples of her pragmatism and caution are her refusal to support ground troops in Iraq or Syria and her belief that air power, sanctions and diplomacy can and should be used to serve U.S. interests in those challenges. Clinton’s balanced and pragmatic approach is also evident in other aspects of foreign policy. She has been a strong supporter of veterans and human rights for women, children and the LGBT community. The differences in substance between her and Trump are profound, with her views well backed by substantive policy statements and Trump’s promises backed by almost nothing. I want to thank Professor Schweller, Professor Pete Mansoor, Martin Lopez, the Alexander Hamilton Society and Ohio State for the opportunity to participate in the debate. And I want to express appreciation to all who attended and expressed interest in passion in this important election. Even if you do not like either candidate, this choice is too important to ignore and not partici-
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Abortion is not a crime One issue that has garnered more conversation than in previous elections is the topic of abortion. This isn’t surprising given that nearly 300 abortion restrictions have been passed since 2010. While most people assume women can easily access an abortion procedure when wanted or needed, the steady onslaught of laws is taking a toll. In Ohio alone, we’ve gone from having 16 abortion clinics to nine, and the state pumps increasing amounts of money into crisis pregnancy centers that spread misinformation. This means we’re not just making it harder for women to access a procedure as safe as removing wisdom teeth, we’re also funding organizations that discourage the use of condoms and birth control. Here in the United States, we have a candidate for president that doesn’t just claim to be against elective abortions, we have a candidate saying women should be punished if he’s able to overturn Roe v. Wade. This is at a time when the spread of Zika has forced the international community to openly discuss the lack of access to abor-

tion and contraception in many countries. Access to an abortion, even if a woman never exercises that right, is a societal and existential good for all. If a woman becomes pregnant, even if she can never imagine getting an abortion, she still knows she could. She knows that having that baby is her choice. She’s able to embrace the situation rather than feel she has no control over her own destiny. We have forgotten the desperation that women felt when they could not control their own bodies. When they kept having babies because they had no access to safe or legal abortion or contraception. We take this for granted, but having control over your own body is a necessity for gender equality to ever truly exist. So on Wednesday, International Safe Abortion Day, say “thank you” to a provider, volunteer your time, listen to a friend’s story. Do whatever you can to help ensure everyone has access to a safe abortion.

Ohio State alumna goes from O-H to E! HANNAH HERNER Arts&Life Editor herner.12@osu.edu Ohio State alumna Zuri Hall will interview plenty of celebrities as a correspondent for E! News this award-show season, but she probably won’t get starstruck. “I don’t get starstruck very often because my father always raised me to believe that we’re all just humans at the end of the day, some of us with really cool jobs, some of us with with really cool talents, some of us with really good looks,” Hall said. Hall, a 2010 graduate in strategic communication, said she knew she wanted to be in the spotlight from an early age. In her time at OSU, she pursued these passions through involvement with Ohio Union Television and the Black Student Theater Network. It was not until a few months before she was set to graduate from OSU that Hall fell into television hosting. A television station in Indianapolis was looking for a new face, and Hall was hired right out of college. Shortly after, in 2011, Hall won a regional Emmy in In-
diana for her hosting. Since then, she has hosted for the NBA, the Super Bowl, MTV and since July 2015, E! News. “It’s been a long time coming and it’s a network that I’ve wanted to be at for a long time so I’m happy it all worked out,” Hall said. With the E! Network, Hall got to conduct interviews with athletes at the most recent Olympics in Rio, which she described as a “bucket list moment.” Sharing the stories of those athletes and the celebrities on red carpets during award-show season is a special experience for Hall. “I just feel really blessed when I’m a part of sharing a moment, even if I’m just a middleman, or I’m the person who got you the content that you were interested in getting,” Hall said. “That is special to me.” Having been a Morrill Scholar on academic scholarship, Hall said she took academics very seriously during her time at OSU, but she found that her experiences in internships and the like outside of class were the most valuable in getting jobs. “Some people made it seem like

I was just lucky that I did it and then when I graduated I realized it’s really what saved me.” Hall also attributes her success to her ability to adapt to the chang-
ing media landscape, and she is heavily involved in social media, boasting close to 95,000 followers on her personal YouTube channel. She said having a social media presence is imperative in order to stay with the times, but it’s also something she has fun with. “YouTube and social media, those are just fun platforms for me to have a direct connection,” she
said. “No matter where you may go, no matter what TV station you may go to or what job you may have next, the social media platform is yours to keep and those supporters stay with you.” During her time at OSU, when she was not doing school work or internships, Hall did what most college students do. “Outside of theater and television stuff, I just liked laying out on The Oval,” she said. “For me it was all about hopping up and down High Street, eating Cane’s every other day. I was pretty chill when I wasn’t in class.” Often prompting her YouTube subscribers from around the country to throw up the I-O in response to her O-H, Hall described herself as an obnoxiously proud Buckeye. “I love Columbus, those were some of the best years of my life and I still feel like if there’s one place in the country that I could raise a family happily, it would be Ohio,” she said. “The tricky part is this whole career that has to happen in LA.”

Columbus art exhibition brings female voices to life GHEZAL BARGHOUTY Lantern reporter barghouty.5@osu.edu
GHEZAL BARGHOUTY | LANTERN REPORTER
“Woke,” artwork by April Sunami, at The Columbus Cultural Arts Center.
The Cultural Arts Center in downtown Columbus’ newest exhibition features female artists with the aim of challenging gender issues and celebrating the voices of women. “Dare to Be Heard,” which opened on Friday, brings together local and national artists to shed light on issues faced by women every day, ranging from harassment and rape to equal pay and health care. Stephanie Rond, the exhibition’s curator, teamed up with sev-
eral sponsors, including the Ohio State Barnett Center for Integrated Arts and Enterprise, to put together the exhibit. “We focus on both students and artists who are really trying to understand how to sustain the work that they do,” said Sonia BasSheva Mañjon, director of the Barnett Center. “‘Dare to Be Heard,’ when it was presented to me as a possible sponsorship and collaboration, really resonated with my interest in, under certain populations, having a voice and actually being seen.” “Dare to be Heard” was prompted by an anonymous note received by the Cultural Arts Center in re-
sponse to a 2013 contemporary arts exhibition to celebrate the centennial of the New York Armory Show. A visitor asked why no female work was represented on the exhibit’s 25-foot-long timeline of the past century’s major cultural events and the art movements they inspired. “Dare to Be Heard” is the response to this question, as the Cultural Arts Center explores the exclusion of women from the art world. The exhibition offers a variety of programs throughout the next month, including lectures, panel discussions, workshops, perform-
ing-arts events, film series and poetry performances. “I want to start a dialogue, and I want to poke people and I want people to feel uncomfortable,” said Amy Leibrand, an OSU alumna and visual artist featured in the exhibit. “I want people to see themselves in my work. A lot of my work is self-portraiture, and it’s meant to poke people in places they don’t want it to.” Leibrand said she did a lot of research on beauty standards and how much money women spend on their looks, from makeup and beauty products to plastic surgery procedures. She found that in the DARE CONTINUES ON 6

Yoga Club helps students find their zen JORDAN GAYLE For The Lantern gayle.16@osu.edu Students from beginners to experienced yogis can find their zen by joining The Ohio Student Underground Yoga Club. President Natalie Dev, a thirdyear in neuroscience, has been practicing yoga casually since she was in eighth grade, starting with a goal of staying physically fit. “It wasn’t until my freshman year of college, when I first started coming to yoga club, that I really experienced the spiritual aspect,” she said. There are several approaches to yoga, she said, and since it started in 2009, the club has worked to touch on all of them by bringing in instructors from around the city of Columbus. “Some instructors are definitely into the fitness component, giving members a hard workout,” Dev said. “There are others who want a more spiritual experience and spend a longer time in meditation.” Hannah Miller, a third-year in industrial and systems engineering and club treasurer, started practicing yoga with a goal of maintaining physical fitness. She said she has come to love the relaxing components as well. The

“It wasn’t until my freshman year of college, when I first started coming to yoga club, that I really experienced the spiritual aspect.” Natalie Dev Yoga club president
club brings in instructors with at least a 200 hour training credit from around Columbus. Group members with yoga knowledge and experience are also welcome to teach. Dev said the club has 25 members who consistently attend, including a range of levels of experience, but most are at an intermediate level. Although most members are women, many men are involved as well. “I feel like most guys think (yoga is) not very hard, and that it may just be stretching, so they aren’t getting a full workout,” Dev said. The club has taught sessions for the men’s lacrosse team and a few fraternities. “They all thought the class was going to be super easy,” Dev said. “But most of the guys left sweating and even had some difficulty accomplishing the poses.” Yoga club shies away from
Ohio State’s athletic facilities’ yoga classes throughout the week. “RPAC classes are usually more busy, and the smaller, consistent group of members and familiar faces at the club make it a little more personal and allows for a better experience,” Miller said. Aside from taking classes together, yoga club members also engage in social activities. “We try to make the club feel more like a community by hosting some social events,” Dev said. “We’ve had dinners, charity outreach events and we even took a trip to Hocking Hills a few years ago to do yoga, hike and bond with each other.” The Yoga Club meets Mondays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Tuesdays from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. and Wednesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. in Multipurpose Room 3 in the RPAC.

Star-making releases come 40 years apart SAM KAYUHA Senior Lantern reporter kayuha.2@osu.edu The dry season for new music seems have passed, and summer songs have stopped being my most played. The weather outside is telling me it’s time for some fall music, so that is what I’ve been looking for. It’s probably still inevitable that it will be scorching again in a week’s time. But I can wait on that. “Starboy” by The Weeknd It took Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, a little while to figure out pop stardom. He started out making raunchy, drugged-out R&B, releasing his music for free and staying out of the spotlight entirely. When he decided he wanted to be star, it took an album flop and a recalculation to make it happen. “Beauty Behind the Madness” didn’t deviate much from the first album in terms of theme, but a melodic injection made it radio-ready. “Can’t Feel My Face” and “The Hills” are infectious, but the former hints at cocaine use and the line from the latter “When I’m f----d up that’s the real me,” is proof that all it takes to make a superstar is releasing something people can sing along to. His latest single, “Starboy,” is a much sharper left turn, and not just because he cut off his famous locks. Daft Punk made the energetic, sparkling beat, and Tesfaye turns his attention to his own fame. He’s a star, boy. He doesn’t leave behind the drug references, but finds more clever ways to make
mixes and other frivolousness. There isn’t much new here — even the unreleased stuff could be found on the internet with ease. And at a retail price of around $250, it’s not worth buying. But it is worth considering this musical chapter of astounding creativity. David Bowie’s 1970s was one of the most fruitful eras for any artist — on par with The Beatles in the ‘60s or Prince in the ‘80s. But this period of his career coincided with a head-first dive into cocaine addiction and the troubles it wrought, including the infamous peppers and milk diet and the occult obsession. It’s an almost mythical time not only for the work that came out of it, but that he survived it at all.

It sounds like what Michael Jackson might make if he were new in 2016, and cursed in his songs. “Starboy” is also the name of the record, set to be released in November. “Who Can I Be Now?” by David Bowie Even an artist as prolific as David Bowie, who released 27 albums in his lifetime, couldn’t avoid the post-mortem rarity dump. “Who Can I Be Now?” Is a nine album (!) collection of all the music Bowie re-
leased between 1974 and 1976, a period of rapid-fire transformation that yielded drastically different studio records. “Diamond Dogs” was the apocalyptic last breath of glam rock. “Young Americans,” his hard turn, his foray in plastic soul. “Station to Station” is a manic pop masterpiece. Each album saw Bowie searching for an identity after retiring Ziggy Stardust, churning out music at an amazing pace with each change of the mask. Along with the albums is an early, unreleased version of “Young Americans,” as well as live records, each with different

U.S. alone, it’s a $16 billion a year industry. “The idea was to look into the history of the absolutely horrendous things that women would do to themselves for the sake of this arbitrary value of beauty that society puts on us,” Leibrand said. April Sunami, a mixed media artist and Cincinnati native, is also featured in the show. She focuses much of her work on women of color and also pays tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement in her work. Sunami said she was attracted to “Dare to Be Heard” because she was able to focus on more political subjects and issues she is passionate about. “A lot of my work features black women, or women of color, as the subjects,” said Sunami. “Just trying to make sure that women of color are represented in a way that is strong, in a way that is beautiful, in a way that is complex and in an artistic context. That’s the primary objective.” As part of the exhibits’ event series, the Barnett Center will be hosting a panel on Oct. 19 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The discussion will feature several lo-
cal and national artists who have voiced their opinions on gender issues through art. Speakers will include Brooklyn-based photographer Nona Faustine; OSU alumna, poet and performing artist Dionne Custer Edwards; choreographer and OSU dance professor Susan Van Pelt Petry and Leibrand. “This will be a wonderful panel because of the diversity of the work that they do, not only locally, but nationally and internationally,” Mañjon said. The “Dare to Be Heard” exhibition will be open to the public in the Cultural Arts Center at 139 W. Main St. and holding several other programs and workshops until Nov. 5.The event is free and students can RSVP at the Barnett Center website.

WOMEN’S SOCCER
Agnew’s hat trick leads Buckeyes past Iowa ALEXA MAVROGIANIS Photo Editor mavrogianis.1@osu.edu The Ohio State women’s soccer team’s matinee matchup against the Iowa Hawkeyes (6-6) on Sunday was filled with narratives. After being shut out in their last two games, the Buckeyes scored three goals in six minutes during the second half, leading to a 3-0 victory on parents’ day. The win also marked the first for OSU (74-1) in its past five games and the first against a Big Ten opponent this season. But the real story — as has been the case for much of the Buckeyes’ season — was senior forward Lindsay Agnew. Agnew scored all three of OSU’s goals, marking the first hat trick of her career, and the 13th ever for OSU women’s soccer.
“It feels even better when I get to see all my teammates get to go in the game and make an impact.” Lindsay Agnew Women’s soccer, senior forward
“It feels amazing; I was so excited just to put the first one in the back of the net because we’ve been missing out on some goals,” Agnew said. “It feels even better when I get to see all my teammates get to go in the game and make an impact. It really is the best feeling.” The first goal of the afternoon came in the 49th minute when OSU junior midfielder Nikki Walts set up Agnew, who was at the close left wing. Agnew’s shot went off the hands of Iowa freshman goalkeeper Nikki Graves. Just two minutes later, Agnew scored from in the box after OSU senior forward Nichelle Prince stole the ball off an Iowa midfielder. Prince, who is Agnew’s roommate, said she feels proud of what her teammate has been able to accomplish. “It’s really just a testament to how hard she’s worked and how much she gives to this team,” Prince said. “For her to get those three goals, it was awesome. She really deserves it.” Agnew’s third and final goal was a header in the 53rd minute. The three goals against the Hawkeyes pushed Agnew’s season goal total to eight, already doubling her previous career high of four midway through the season. Agnew said she believes a
number of factors has led to her offensive output. “It’s my last year and that brings a new panic to your game,” Agnew said. “I think just the confidence and having my teammates around me to support me has really helped me score more goals.” OSU coach Lori Walker is happy to see Agnew find that success.
“I asked her if she’s ever had a hat trick and she said ‘No, it’s my first time.’ It’s pretty special (for it to happen on) parents’ day of her senior year,” Walker said. “She’s been such a strong leader for us, she’s always our emotional leader and so it’s nice to see her get that opportunity today.” Agnew and the Buckeyes will

telligent football player. With the implementation of the targeting rule in 2013 that protects an offensive player from a head injury, Worley, who used to be a guy that looked for the big hit, is a more fundamentally sound tackler than he was his first year in Columbus. “It’s the greatest way of tackling in the game of football today. It helped me, but it helped
everyone who came through here and played defense,” Worley said. “Just knowing when I can take those shots and when I can’t, being comfortable and tackling in that way has helped me a tremendous amount.” For the offense that will actually be facing the Scarlet Knight defense, redshirt junior quarterback J.T. Barrett has great familiarity in competing against a Chris Ash
defense. Barrett battled in practice against Ash and OSU’s first and second team defense for the better part of two years. When the Buckeyes trot out on Saturday, Barrett said the offense has some comfortability facing a familiar defense. But knowing Ash, Barrett and the coaching staff expects him to implement schemes he has not shown through Rutgers’ first three games.
“It’s a funky mix between the two … he’s not going to let our base things try to happen,” Barrett said. “At the end of the day we have to be prepared for what he’s going to throw at us and making adjustments on the fly.”

the net, the Buckeyes will now be looking to the sideline when when she returns. From here on out, the focus of McVicker is to rally the troops to continue the team’s success. “Although this injury happened
to me, my main thing for this season is for my team to be successful,” McVicker said. “Yes, this is horrible and I wouldn’t wish this upon anyone. But at the same time, all of my energy and everything when I get back is to prepare

creating turnovers. In terms of the team mindset from the players, the beginning of the Big Ten schedule marks the time to buckle down for the rest of the season. “The Big Ten, that’s the real deal,” Worley said. “(There are) good teams in the Big Ten right now. One of the strongest conferences if not the strongest conference right now.” Last season, the Buckeyes were 7-1 in Big Ten play, dropping the second-to-last conference game to Michigan State 17-14. The Scarlet and Gray dropped from the top four, and ultimately missed out on the College Football Playoff, which they had won in the previous year. With a younger, more inexperienced team, the Buckeyes will need the same kind of success in
the next nine games that the team enjoyed through the first three to prevent the same fate as last season. Starting out well has given OSU a positive attitude, but the practice and hard work is far from over for the Buckeyes. “It’s a great league for our players. It just builds confidence especially with a young football team. It builds some confidence but you don’t want it to be false confidence. And that’s where you come back and evaluate what you’ve done,” OSU running backs coach Tony Alford said about the skill of the Big Ten. “Yes, we have done some good things, but we can’t rest on that either. We’ve got a lot of improvement to go.”

“You come off this big road win and you get a week off. Not necessarily a week off, you get a Saturday off,” said OSU redshirt junior defensive end Tyquan Lewis. “You really get to sit back and watch. I know I watched a little film of myself and the other guys. You get to basically coach yourself and see what you need to do to get better.” Rutgers will present a familiar scheme to the Buckeyes, due to Ash’s involvement while he coached at OSU. When Greg Schiano arrived to coach the defense, there was much speculation as to how different the defensive approach would be. Redshirt junior linebacker Chris Worley said the defensive schemes by Ash and Schiano are extremely similar. The only difference is the emphasis on attacking the ball and

Ash brings familiar defense vs. OSU JACOB MYERS Assistant Sports Editor myers.1669@osu.edu The Ohio State football team has prided itself on its defense since the days of Woody Hayes. The 2013 Buckeyes failed to win the Big Ten Championship, a de facto play-in game to enter the national championship game, primarily on the play of a below-average secondary that ranked 112th in the country in passing defense. Coach Urban Meyer decided to make a change and brought in then-Arkansas defensive coordinator Chris Ash. In just one season, Ash played a significant part in the transformation of the OSU defense, the “Silver Bullets,” into a menacing takeaway machine. Primarily overseeing the defensive backs at OSU, the Buckeyes forced 26 turnovers in 2014 and ranked 29th in pass defense. Now, Ash is attempting to transform another defense in his new job as head coach of Rutgers, OSU’s opponent in the Buckeyes’ Big Ten opener on Saturday at Ohio Stadium. Redshirt junior defensive end Tyquan Lewis said Ash taught the
defense a new style of tackling during his two seasons in Columbus. Ash preached the importance of keeping their heads up and driving through the ball carrier’s legs during a tackle. “(The tackling) shows up more on the perimeter,” Lewis said. “They’re coming up and hitting the right way. It makes a big difference as far as missed tackles.” Rutgers is Ash’s first job as a head coach in Division I college football. Before Arkansas and Ohio State, Ash spent two seasons with Wisconsin as the Badgers’ defensive coordinator. All too familiar with his former colleague’s play calling and coaching style, Meyer said that he has changed a lot of his defensive signals for this week given the similarities in the Scarlet Knight defense. “It’s our defense. I mean, like, exactly,” Meyer said during Monday’s press conference. “Their defensive line is much improved and the guys are bigger and stronger.” Not only is Ash a part of the Meyer coaching tree, Rutgers offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer, special teams coordinator Vince Okruch, defensive backs coach Bill Busch, running backs
coach Zak Kuhr and strength and conditioning coach Kenny Parker worked under Meyer in some capacity at OSU. Mehringer even worked with former OSU offen-
sive coordinator Tom Herman at Houston in 2015. While Ash is beginning to create his own coaching carousel, his teachings still reside within
the OSU program. Redshirt junior linebacker Chris Worley said co-defensive coordinator Greg Schiano, who replaced Ash in the ASH CONTINUES ON 7

McVicker sees injury as ‘stepping stone’ NICHOLAS MCWILLIAMS Sports Editor mcwilliams.66@osu.edu Entering its game against Minnesota, the Ohio State women’s soccer team had high hopes for its season-opening run. Those high hopes were shattered on one serious play during the seventh minute, when redshirt senior goalkeeper Jillian McVicker tried to make a save.
McVicker collided with a Minnesota player, and sustained fractured ribs, a punctured lung and a lacerated kidney. She was quickly removed from the field and taken to a Minnesota hospital, where she remained in intensive care for two days before being downgraded to standard care. “Ohio State senior goalkeeper Jillian McVicker is being held at a Minneapolis hospital through the end of the week for further treat-
ment and testing after suffering an injury Sunday at Minnesota,” the athletic department said in a statement from an OSU spokesperson on Friday. McVicker has appeared in over 50 matches for the Buckeyes since joining the team in 2012. McVicker is a former assistant sports director for Lantern TV and also reported for The Lantern during the 2016 Spring Semester. After being released from the

hospital on Saturday afternoon, she and her family drove back to Columbus, stopping in Chicago along the way before arriving back at OSU on Monday. Although not the first time the Metuchen, New Jersey, native has sustained an injury, this time, was different from the rest. “I knew that it definitely wasn’t my muscle or anything. I just came out, I knew there was going to be a collision but I just had to get the ball,” McVicker said. “When I came out, I thought I had the wind knocked out of me at first, and then I couldn’t breathe for like a minute.” According to McVicker, her doctor said this type of injury is most common after being involved in a car crash, not with a sport like soccer. The injury has effectively ended the OSU career of McVicker, with a little over a month left in the regular season. Although her time as a Buckeye athlete has been cut short, she has still maintained a positive attitude and high spirits. “All the adversity I have faced, whether it be from injury or typical adversity that every athlete goes through, you just have to keep your head up and keep your mind on the process,” McVicker said. “Take it day-by-day and step-by-step — which is actually very ironic because that’s exactly what I’m doing in my rehab right now.”

As part of the healing process, McVicker can only lift things under 10 pounds, while limiting the amount of overall movement she has throughout the day. On social media, McVicker has received an outpouring of support from family, friends, teammates, players from other teams and, most notably, former United States Women’s National Team midfielder Julie Foudy. McVicker, a four-time OSU scholar-athlete and three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection, has appeared in over 60 matches during her career with the Buckeyes. She is a double major in strategic communications and journalism, and will be graduating this December. After graduation and her injuries have fully healed, McVicker has intentions to continue her playing career outside of OSU. “I definitely want to graduate MCVICKER CONTINUES ON 7
