Third-party candidates Knight watch: find support on campus Scouting Rutgers FOOTBALL

ABBY VESOULIS Lantern reporter vesoulis.3@osu.edu

For many students at Ohio State, November will mark the first presidential election in which they are eligible to vote. Those unsatisfied with casting their ballot for Republican candidate Donald Trump or Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton have other options. Jill Stein, representing the Green Party, and Gary Johnson, representing the Libertarian Party, will accompany candidates Trump and Clinton on the ballot in the majority of states, including Ohio. “I encourage fellow Libertarians, liberals and conservatives to vote their principles rather than their party,” said Jonathan Kubesch, a third-year in evolution and ecology and a Johnson supporter. “When someone tells you you’re wasting your vote, they’re saying your opinion or your conscience doesn’t matter.” The Green Party’s platform advocates for policies such as a 30-hour work week, free child care, free public health care and, addressing a predominant concern among millennials, free lifelong public education through college and the elimination of existing

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights make their entrance before a game against the Iowa Hawkeyes on Sept. 24 at High Point Solutions Stadium. NICK MCWILLIAMS Sports Editor mcwilliams.66@osu.edu It’s been more than a week since the Ohio State football team took the field against an opponent. With rain expected this Saturday, Buckeye fans will most likely need to don their ponchos and rainboots to watch OSU open Big Ten play against Rutgers. Led by former OSU defensive coordinator Chris Ash, the Scarlet Knights have earned their way to a 2-2 record so far, with wins over Howard University and New Mexico. Last week, Rutgers fell

to Iowa 14-7 in a defensive battle that saw each team netting more than 350 total yards a piece, but failing to frequently find the endzone. While Rutgers is in good hands with Ash at the helm, the Buckeyes appear to have the upper hand in this matchup, both statistically speaking and in terms of skill. Two top performers for the Scarlet Knights — wide receiver Janarion Grant and defensive tackle Darius Hamilton — were lost to injury last week. OSU coach Urban Meyer gave his sentiment to the team and the injured players. RUTGERS CONTINUES ON 7

Syllabi to be available earlier, online SUMMER CARTWRIGHT Lantern reporter cartwright.117@osu.edu The last-minute orders and long lines wrapped around campus bookstores the day before classes start each semester might soon become a memory for Ohio State students. A new online syllabus catalog will be available for students to use in late October, in time for Spring 2017 scheduling, meaning the last-minute scrambling for textbooks could end. The catalog is a result of the efforts of Undergraduate Student Government and the Office of Academic Affairs to make course information more readily available and transparent for students. If professors do not have their syllabi ready before the semester begins, the general syllabi for the course that was originally approved by the university will be shown in place. The program is not mandatory.

SUMMER CARTWRIGHT | LANTERN REPORTER

A new online syllabus catalog will be available for students scheduling for classes in the Spring Semester of 2017. the aim of this catalog is to prevent any last-minute stress a student may face when looking to buy textbooks. The process started last school year. In January, USG unanimously passed a resolution to support student access to view syllabi before scheduling.

Every time a resolution is passed by USG, the registrar’s office gets a copy and sees what it can do to help bring the resolution to life, said Wayne Carlson, vice

provost for undergraduate studies and dean of undergraduate education. For this particular resolution, the office found USG’s goal of

syllabi transparency to be very attainable and deserving for OSU students, Carlson said. “We saw it as a pilot program, so the registrar’s office went ahead and found the online space and put the technology together to create the system,” he said. “It’s a laudable goal and I think it is a goal that we ought to be shooting for.” USG felt that when students are given their syllabi, the only option for getting course materials was to go to campus bookstores, which can be too expensive for some students. And with access to syllabi before scheduling, students could possibly find other, more cost-efficient resources to use when buying course material. “If students are given the syllabus a few days before a reading assignment is due, they only have two choices on where to get the books: Barnes and Noble or (Student Book Exchange),” said Mario Belfiglio, a fourth-year in biology and a member of the University SYLLABI CONTINUES ON 2

Series dialogue to discuss issues for women voters

SYLLABI FROM 1

SUMMER CARTWRIGHT Lantern reporter cartwright.117@osu.edu The Ohio State Women Student Initiatives program is hosting an event this week on the rising influence of women’s voting power in American politics. The American Woman: The Rising American Electorate will include speakers representing women of differing roles in politics who represent the diversity of American women. Speaking guests include Wendy Smooth, and associate professor of women’s, gender and sexuality studies at OSU; Christina Bejarano, associate professor of political science from the University of Kansas; Glynda Carr, the co-founder of the black women’s leadership organization Higher Heights for America; and Christine Chen, founder and executive director of Asian and Pacific Islander American Votes. Gisele Jeter-Bennett — an intercultural specialist within Women Student Initiatives, an office within the Student Life Multicultural Center –– is the organizer of the event. The event was developed by Jeter-Bennett when she attended a conference held by American Democracy Studies at OSU, and

Professor Wendy Smooth speaks at a dialogue and discussion series on women’s representation in politics on Sept. 22. aims to make women voters more confident and knowledgeable this election. “I was sitting there, listening to these women, who are scholars and activists and political strategists,” Jeter-Bennett said. “I thought that this is something that college students — primarily college women — should hear, and really listen and talk and engage with other women who are involved in politics on different levels.” The event will include a series of dialogues about the intersections of race, class, gender and

sexuality, and how they influence women’s political and civic engagement. “It’s critical for USG to be supporting all groups on campus,” said Danielle Di Scala, vice-president of USG and a fourth-year in political science. “Any time we have this opportunity we are more than happy to support an event like this.” The event will be held on Thursday, Sept. 29 at 6 p.m. in the Ohio Union Cartoon Room.

Senate, and Council on Academic Affairs. “Letting students know early about textbooks allows for more transparency about costs and gives students more time to shop around for better prices.” In addition to textbooks, faculty can upload a list of other potential costs of the course that students can view before registering. “USG really wanted us to provide more information to students during registration about what individual fees may apply to that course, because we have a growing number of courses that charge additional fees beyond tuition,” said Jack Miner, a university registrar and executive director of enrollment services. Along with affordability, having the syllabus readily available for students to view online could help them gauge whether or not the course is the right fit for their schedule. “It gives students the opportunity to think about what their schedule’s like if there is a course that has a really intensive workload or really intensive reading load; it could maybe cause them to think about what their other courses are for the semester,” Miner said. The Office of Academic Affairs sent out an email to faculty late last week giving them information on the syllabus catalog, and asking them to upload their materials, Carlson said. He said that all of the feedback he has received so far has been positive, aside from a few concerns. “By in large, my impression is that faculty are very supportive,” Carlson said. “They want to make sure material that they are going to cover in class is known by students.” The concerns Carlson received surround publishing information too early for it to be reliable, or publishing material that could possibly be seen by anyone in the public. For some courses, material and topics are developing each day, so publishing a syllabus online months before the beginning of a semester could result in outdated topics and materials. For other professors, they fear that information on syllabi available to the public could interfere with their own research and findings, said Carlson.

However, Carlson said that the firewall surrounding the login, as well as only allowing students and staff that log in using their OSU username and passwords, should diminish any fears of public viewership. Gerard Basalla, president of USG, and a fourth-year in political science and strategic communication, said that they are expecting a high usage by professors, because the syllabus library also helps OSU with students who transfer to other schools. “Other colleges ask Ohio State to send over the course information (when students transfer) and we don’t really have that electronically,” Basalla said. “The syllabus library will make students’ lives easier on the back ends with proving what courses they took.” Carlson said that the online library could also be the push that some departments need to go electronic. “Many departments are still using paper storage for their syllabi,” Carlson said. “I think they will see this as an opportunity to go digital … and having their faculty turn their syllabi in to the central site satisfies their needs of keeping paper records of it.” Carlson said that student satisfaction will be a main driver in increasing participation among staff, noting that transparency of course information is always of interest to staff at Ohio State. Students can currently browse the site, but syllabi and information will be sparse before Spring 2017 scheduling. For the full version of this story, please visit TheLantern.com

COMMENTARY

Thursday, September 29, 2016 | 3

Understanding both sides MASON SWIRES Assistant Photo Editor swires.4@osu.edu My life-long friend, my brother, Michael P. Harrigan is a regular man. He gets up at irregular hours every single night to tend to his infant daughter, Kapree. He mows his lawn, plays with his dog, keeps up on his bills and lives a normal life. He is also a United States Marine Corps reservist. He fulfills his duty to his country every single month without complaint and with a certain vigor and efficiency any active-duty Marine would be proud of. When he’s not doing all of these things, Mike Harrigan goes to work every single day as a Cleveland Division of Police officer. When he puts on his bulletproof vest, he contemplates what awaits him when he steps out of the precinct in East Cleveland, statistically the most criminally active region of the city. When he gets in his cruiser, he hopes he doesn’t get any major calls that day. He hopes that no one will shoot at him or at someone else. He hopes he doesn’t even have to place his hand on the grip of his sidearm. He believes that any breach in code performed by another police officer should be addressed, and that any officer that makes a mistake or performs an act in malice, ignorance or passion should be held accountable for their actions. Mike walks the thin blue line that separates the order and peace of our society from anarchy and chaos. If you run, he will chase you. If you hurt someone, he will find you. If you break the law or infringe upon another citizen’s freedoms, he will do what is necessary to maintain peace and order. Most importantly and most prominently in today’s issues, if you threaten his life — his chances for going home that night to see his little girl sleeping peacefully in her crib — then you can bet he will take any action that results in preserving his own life, especially when someone brandishes what looks like a weapon at him. When he sees that a fellow officer has gunned down an innocent citizen, he is just as outraged as any other civilian that watches the news and decides to protest the police or make calls for action. During the Republican National Convention, Mike joined hands in solidarity with those who participated and protested in the Circle the City With Love event in Cleveland. Mike is a human being. Mike has fears, hopes, dreams, pains and joys. He is not a monster. He is not out to murder and senselessly harm those whom he has sworn an oath to protect and to serve. Mike would die to protect those he loves and those who cannot defend themselves. That’s the entire reason he joined the force. Now, I am not a man that enters into the

That’s the entire reason he joined the force. battleground of debate on social issue opinions and political correctness that permeates every facet of our society. I am not a man that identifies my entire being by labeling myself as a Republican or a Democrat. I don’t participate in protests for Black Lives Matter or for All Lives Matter. I am most certainly not a man that revels in the senseless violence between its citizens and its police force that plagues American society. Should we keep our officers accountable? Absolutely. Should we serve justice to those who break the law? Absolutely. Is any loss of life a tragedy that should not be taken lightly? Ab-so-lute-ly. I am a human being just like Mike Harrigan. Enough is enough when it comes to hating the entire body of American police, because the majority would walk the line to stand up for what is right, alongside any one of the protesters like the ones that flooded North High Street on Monday. We must humanize and empathize with one another. We must come together. Once we view one another as human beings and not as faceless labels, like “pig cops,” or racially profiled individuals depicted as criminals, then we can make steps to come together as a society that tolerates and operates as a single team. With a heavy heart, I write this as a plea to consider perspectives that challenge your thoughts. I plead for my fellow students

GHEZAL BARGHOUTY Lantern reporter barghouty.5@osu.edu The newest addition to Columbus’ hybrid bar and arcade collection brings bowling, old-school entertainment and vintage design. Pins Mechanical Company, which opened on Sept. 23 in the downtown area, is the latest project for entrepreneur Troy Allen, owner and founder of Rise Brands. The company is also responsible for 16-Bit, a bar and arcade with a similar concept. “Pins Mechanical Company is a social gathering place for a wide demographic of people,” said Jeni Van Hemert, operations manager of Rise Brands. “It’s a place for everybody to get together and enjoy activities.” The bar-arcade scene continues to grow in Columbus, and these gathering places specialize in serving drinks along with providing vintage consoles and games.

Pins Mechanical Company recently opened at 141 N. 4th St. With no bowling alleys located near campus, Pins also offers the East Coast tradition of duckpin bowling, which is a style of bowling that involves smaller pins and a smaller but heavier ball. Other games include pinball, ping-pong, shuffleboard and Jenga. The company currently owns three 16-Bit locations in Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati, , and plans to expand the Pins concept to a second location in Dublin, Ohio in 2017. “It’s an absolute blast to be able to play an activity while you’re drinking, and it provides such a social experience,” Van Hemert said. “It’s different than just sit-

The bar is home to craft beer, bourbon and whiskey. It also offers two non-alcoholic drinks on tap, a craft root beer and craft orange soda, as well as two non-alcoholic cocktails and punches.

Columbus-based band Didi prides itself on its diverse influences. CAMERON CARR Lantern reporter carr.613@osu.edu A small shelving unit full of odd trinkets hangs in the living room in the house where Meg Zakany and Sheena McGrath live. A lone Lego piece, four cassette tapes, a shrunken hand keychain, a frog figurine and an empty pill bottle are haphazardly mixed together. A photograph of that shelf is the cover of Columbus band Didi’s self-titled debut album. Like the menagerie on the shelves, Didi brings together the diverse aspects of each member into one collaborative, cohesive whole.

Zakany, Bilapka Arbelaez and Shimizu take turns as songwriter and lead singer, while McGrath fronts a hidden track from the group’s debut album. Band members add their own touches to each song that, collectively, result in the Didi sound. “It definitely felt like we wrote (the songs) together,” said Shimizu, a 2011 Ohio State graduate in English and Japanese. “Even if DIDI CONTINUES ON 5

Arouse Student Radio moves forward with new developments LINDSEY CAPRITTA Lantern reporter capritta.3@osu.edu This semester, Arouse OSU Radio moved from one unusual location to another — a hair salon to the basement of Buckeye Donuts. In addition, the student amateur radio group has overhauled its website and introduced a new schedule. The group began in 2010 and allows members to design their own radio show, broadcasting the program online. Arouse began officially broadcasting over the the new website on Sept. 19. The group used to broadcast from Rendezvous, a hair salon on North High Street, but relocated after the salon was struck by lightning over the summer. The new location is an exciting change for Arouse DJs Caitlyn Horn and Julia Andreason, who said they consider the Buckeye Donuts location more convenient for everyone, as it is closer to campus than Rendezvous was. The new website was designed by Ben McConnell, a fifth-year in business and the group’s former president and current webmaster. “We’re changing from a con-

tinuously updating model to more of a magazine style,” McConnell said . Andreason said the goal was for the website to be more interactive, offering information about the songs playing and DJs hosting. Arouse members will also contribute to a blog that lives on the site. Horn, a third-year in computer science, noted the constant change the group has encountered. “Since the club has started, since we got involved, it really has been recreating itself over and over,” Horn said. “It just keeps getting better every time.” Andreason and Horn have hosted the show “Alt Exposed with Ruth and Rose” together for two years. The show, which takes its title from their middle names, plays alternative rock music, though the two said they often go on tangents about what they are feeling. The two said, despite the adjustments, the goal is to continue to provide good music to listeners. “We’re hoping to maintain the type of show that we have, which is what we like to do and how were are,” said Andreason, a third-year in atmospheric science. “But also expand it in terms of who is listening and what we’re able to bring to

DIDI FROM 4

Meg would bring an idea, just the way it would transform once everybody started playing it was like ‘that was Didi.’” When writing the album, the members would bring in portions of songs to work on and often allow the other members to add freely to them. “It becomes something so much bigger than just us individually coming up with a song,” said Zakany, a 2010 Ohio State graduate in women’s, gender and sexuality studies. “Once it’s all together we have such a different appreciation — it becomes our song.” On first listen, the band sounds abrasive and dissonant, largely due to the contributions of McGrath and Bilapka Arbelaez, but further listening brings attention to smooth harmonies and intertwining guitars. When Didi formed approximately three years ago, the members intended to blend their different musical tendencies. For example, Zakany grew up performing choral music through high school — thus the vocal harmonies. Bilapka Arbelaez takes influence from the complex rhythms and harmonies of math rock, bringing the dissonance. “I really appreciate the progression of a really hard to listen to thing suddenly followed by a really poppy chorus or something,” Bilapka Arbelaez said. Zakany said the group aims to capture the sound that naturally came from the collaboration. “We just tried to make sense of each other’s styles,” she said. “It’s almost like a learning curve trying to understand the moves that each person’s going to make and understanding how to communicate that.” After releasing the self-titled album in May 2015 and touring

to both East and West coasts, the members of Didi are preparing to record the follow-up, slated for release next year. In contrast to preparing for the first album, the members are taking their time. “The first time it was like ‘If we don’t finish songs we’re not going to get to play shows,’” Shimizu said. Didi will be performing on Oct. 7 at Ace of Cups with Aye Nako and Betsy Ross. Tickets are $5.

Neighborhood Porch Festival brings art to University District SARA STACY Lantern reporter stacy.118@osu.edu University District area residents will soon open up their porches to the public. Eighteen porch and sidewalk locations in the Glen Echo and South of Hudson neighborhoods north of campus will be open for viewing different kinds of art on Sunday. The inaugural Neighborhood Porch Festival is hosted by Wild Goose Creative, a nonprofit arts organization located on Summit Street in SoHud. Jessie Glover Boettcher, a board member of Wild Goose Creative and organizer of the festival, said she is looking forward to seeing what the members of the community have to share on their porches. “The vibe that we’re going for is very much a cross between a yard sale and trick-or-treating,” she said. “So it’s a very casual time to enjoy one another and enjoy art together.” Members of the community will be featuring art on their porches including music, film, pottery and poetry. The festival will encompass a half-mile radius, with houses as far north as Cliffside Drive and as far south as Maynard Avenue. A map of all of the houses participating in the event will be distributed around the festival.

“There’s so much creativity and such a great sense of community once you break out of the Ohio State bubble.” Naomi Kennedy Gallery intern at Wild Goose Creative

SARA STACY | LANTERN REPORTER

Wild Goose Creative, a non-profit arts organization, is hosting the first ever Neighborhood Porch Festival this Sunday. Naomi Kennedy, a third-year in arts management and gallery intern at Wild Goose Creative, said she thinks students can benefit from connecting with their neighbors over art. “I don’t think a lot of students realize how vibrant the neighborhood surrounding Ohio State is,” she said. “There’s so much creativity and such a great sense of community once you break out of the Ohio State bubble.” Kennedy also said she is excited to see more of the creativity that she has already observed in the

Glen Echo and SoHud neighborhoods. “I remember one time I was walking down Summit Street and saw a man carving a wooden sculpture on his front porch, and I was so inspired,” she said. “I love sculpture so I’m hoping to see some live sculpting.” Boettcher said the festival is a good opportunity for students who live in the area to meet some of the people who live nearby. “It’s a really casual kind of event, it’s a very much meet-yourneighbors kind of situation,” she

said. “So it’s a great way for students to meet their neighbors and to make some connections.” Community members who don’t live in the Glen Echo or SoHud neighborhoods were still given the opportunity to participate by “borrowing” the porch of someone who does have a house in one of the neighborhoods to display their art. A couple of former High Street businesses that have been relocated to the SoHud neighborhood due to High Street development will also be participating

in the festival, including Evolved Body Art and Used Kids records. Boettcher said Used Kids will be hosting sidewalk musician performances and a sidewalk sale. In the future, Boettcher said she hopes to hold the event again and make it bigger, with even more houses participating. “I think a lot of people have creative things happening inside their houses, and it might feel like a little bit of a risk to put them out on their porch, but I’m hoping people will take the cues from their neighbors and put things out on the porch next year,” she said. The Neighborhood Porch Festival will be held on Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Freshmen getting used to program ROSS TAMBURRO Lantern reporter tamburro.5@osu.edu The jump from high school to college can be a difficult adjustment for any student, and student-athletes are no exception. The Ohio State women’s basketball team features three true freshmen this season. Forward Tori McCoy and guards Kiara Lewis and Jensen Caretti are currently going through the same adaptation process many new college students face. “It was a struggle starting off my first day,” McCoy said. “My first week, actually, I was just confused about everything.” The jump can be tough for students from small towns, especially at a large institution like OSU. Caretti is originally from Clarington, Ohio, a town which, according to the 2015 U.S. census, had a population of just 380. “It’s a big environmental change,” Caretti said. “I never expected to go this big in the first place.” The path to OSU was different for all three. Lewis attended Whitney M. Young High School in Chicago, the same school that produced teammate Linnae Harper. During her senior year of high school, Lewis averaged 24.4 RUTGERS FROM 1

“Any time a young guy gets hurt you just wish them the best, and they’re both really good players,” Meyer said. Offense The offense of Rutgers benefitted from the dynamic play ability of Grant, who currently leads the team in both rushing touchdowns and receiving yards. But the Scarlet Knights will need to look elsewhere for offensive production this week. Leaning heavily on a potent running attack led by junior running back Robert Martin, Rutgers has averaged 4.7 yards per carry. Overall, the team has totaled 881 rushing yards, a mere 38 yards behind OSU’s rushing attack.

happening. If I had the money to, I would take them out to eat.” Holmes came into Columbus as a four-star, top-100 recruit. He registered 21 sacks and 59 tackles for loss combined in his junior and senior seasons of high school. Since donning the scarlet and gray on Saturdays, he has played in all but four games for coach Urban Meyer. Holmes had just 11 tackles in 2015 with 1.5 tackles for loss and one sack, but has already racked up nine tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and one sack in the 2016 campaign. When thinking about the OSU defensive line, he’s not the first name that comes to mind. Starters Hubbard and Lewis, who led the defense in sacks a season ago, are the stars of the defensive line. However, Holmes is a player opposing Big Ten offenses have to

points, 5.3 assists, 7.0 rebounds and 3.2 steals per game. Her efforts landed her the Gatorade Player of the Year award in the state of Illinois. Ranked as the 24th best prospect in the 2016 class by ESPN, Lewis was recruited by the likes of Texas A&M and Tennessee, but said that OSU was the best fit. “I felt that the coaches were very caring and that the team was going to be pretty good,” Lewis said. “We could possibly do something big.” McCoy is a product of Saint Thomas More High School in Champaign, Illinois. She was a finalist for the Naismith Player of the Year award during her senior year, a campaign which saw her average 20.7 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. ESPN ranked her as the 10th best player in her class. McCoy’s list of college options included Baylor, Tennessee and South Carolina, but she said that she felt a different level of comfort with OSU. “The players, they made me feel welcome and that’s a big thing for me,” McCoy said. “I just enjoyed being around the girls.” Caretti was named Ms. Basketball for Ohio after her senior year at River High School in Hannibal, Ohio. She averaged 25.0 points, 11.0 boards and carried a shooting

percentage of over 58 percent that year, leading to an ESPN ranking of 31st nationally. Caretti also excelled at volleyball in high school. She said that she considered playing collegiate volleyball instead of basketball, but the opportunities were far greater for basketball. “I didn’t get any big offers like I did for basketball,” Caretti said. “I never played on a travel team for volleyball, so I didn’t really get any looks because our school was so small.” Louisville and South Carolina were among the schools who

In terms of passing, senior quarterback Chris Laviano has struggled to provide consistency. Completing just 52.5 percent of his passes, the team has struggled to put the ball in the hands of its receivers, resulting in a passing offense that ranks 110th in completion percentage. Senior wide receiver Andre Patton has recorded three of Laviano’s five touchdown passes this season, He averages 13.5 yards per reception. Sophomore wide receiver Jawuan Harris is second on the team with 183 yards, trailing only Grant. The offensive line has struggled to keep pressure away from Laviano. On average, he has been sacked 2.3 times per game. With

the play of OSU’s defensive lineman so far, it could be a long day for the senior. Defense Rutgers has struggled to slow opposing offenses this season. Surrendering 399 yards per game, the Scarlet Knights have not produced similar numbers with Ash at the helm as OSU did during his tenure in Columbus. Although the team has not shown a stout defense this year, Meyer said the schemes Rutgers runs are Ash’s through and through, and look nearly identical to the Buckeyes approach. “Yes, it’s our defense,” Meyer said. Redshirt sophomore Kiy Hester currently leads the team in total

account for. Standing at 6-foot5 and weighing 274 pounds, Holmes showcases top-end speed for a player of his size. “The rotation (on the defensive line) … we just move so fast as a unit,” Lewis said. “It’s like a wave of guys. It’s just all so fast, everybody on the D-line.” Listed as a co-starter with Hubbard, Holmes is not confined to one position. Periodically throughout a game, he rotates to nearly every spot on the defensive line. One play he may be at defensive end, the next he could be at tackle. The loss of redshirt junior defensive tackle Tracy Sprinkle in the Bowling Green game put the defensive line depth in question. Since then, Holmes has been a catalyst on the defensive line. Holmes said that being on the two-deep at defensive end for over a year now has affected him a cou-

ple times, but he knows there’s more than the individual. “I’d be lying if I said that it never let it cross my head,” Holmes said. “I play with good teammates and they’re always encouraging me and I want to see the best for my teammates.”

looked at Caretti for basketball, but the guard said her decision to become a Buckeye was made due to the team’s recent resurgence and the fact that the school was close to home. Now, all three players have joined forces in Columbus and are helping each other get acclimated to life in college. “We actually became close really fast,” McCoy said. “They are always pushing me and I’m always pushing them too.” The tight-knit group remains together on and off the court. “We all come to the gym to-

gether, leave together — stuff like that,” Lewis said. As they settle in, McCoy, Lewis and Caretti are looking ahead to what they believe could be a special season at OSU. “I think we are going to go pretty far this year,” McCoy said. “We’re looking pretty good and we’re doing better in practices every day.” The end goal for the incoming players is obvious: Win it all. “Hopefully, we can expect a national championship,” Caretti said. “We are a great team.”

Last season, Rutgers ranked nearly last in pass yards allowed. After ranking 118th nationally in that category, the Scarlet Knights have underwent a complete overhaul of the position. Opposing offenses have been limited 206.7 yards per game against Rutgers. Even with the improvements of the secondary, the team’s defense has been gashed so far this year against the run. OSU has leaned heavily on its rushing attack this season, while the Scarlet Knights have struggled to keep opponents under 200 yards per game on the ground. Breakdown Rutgers is on the rise as a team,

improving in multiple positions statistically from last season and earning its way to a .500 record thus far. But it will take more than just a little improvement to knock off an OSU team that is outscoring opponents by more than 44 points, and averages 3.7 takeaways a game. OSU has too strong of an offense and too stout of a defense for Rutgers to potentially upset the Buckeyes. With Big Ten play opening this Saturday, the Scarlet and Gray should have no problem emerging with an unblemished record.
