Puerto Rico relief: Puerto Rican students bring hurricane aid efforts to campus ZACH VARDA Lantern reporter varda.6@osu.edu

The Puerto Rican Student Association organized and packaged supplies to send to Puerto Rico on Oct. 2 in the Ohio Union. Members of the student organization from left to right: Ini Ntukidem, Beth Guzman-Bowman, Rebekah Ortiz and Gabriel Elders.
The Puerto Rican Student Association held an event Monday in the Ohio Union to collect supplies and money for hurricane relief efforts. The event, United for Puerto Rico Fundraiser and Supply Drive, took its name from the United for Puerto Rico initiative started by the first lady of Puerto Rico, Beatriz Rossello, in response to the devastation the island suffered from Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria. “A lot of us, if not most of us, have family in Puerto Rico, a lot of us were born and raised in Puerto Rico, so all of our family is back there,” said Liane Davila-Martin, president of PRSA and graduate student in the college of public health. “That’s why doing this donation drive and fundraiser gives us a little bit more of a feeling that we can actually help our families and friends back home.” Students in PRSA said it is difficult to have family in Puerto Rico and not be able to communiRELIEF CONTINUES ON 2

CABS increase security with cameras JAKE RAHE Lantern reporter rahe.21@osu.edu Ohio State will have all of its CABS vehicles equipped with eight security cameras that also record audio by Sunday. The installation of the cameras — four outside and four inside each of the 50 buses — cost the university $340,000 and will be used in cases of accidents, Beth Snoke, director of transportation and traffic management at Ohio State, told The Lantern in August. Though the cameras are constantly recording audio and video, they will only be used for evidence in the case of an accident or if further information is needed regarding an event that threatens a student or driver’s safety, similar to COTA — Columbus’ bus system — protocol, Snoke said in August. The footage and audio will be stored for one month and then automatically delete to make room for additional and updated recordings. There was no particular event that prompted the installation of the cameras, said Jon Griffith, a spokesman for the Office of Administration and Planning, in an email. He said the cameras will be used to further students’ and drivers’ safety.

By Oct. 8, all CABS buses will be equipped with cameras, four outside and four inside, to help improve the safety of all passengers. “The safety of our students, faculty and staff is our top priority,” Griffith said. “While crime has not been a common issue on our buses, law enforcement believes that having visible cameras will help further deter crime from happening. This is another [high-visibility] security and safety tool.” Although unaware of the audio compo-

Researchers use nanochip technology in regenerative medicine breakthrough MICHAEL LEE For The Lantern lee.7420@osu.edu

Chandan Sen, director of Ohio State’s Center for Regenerative Medicine & Cell Based Therapies, holds a nanochip embedded with genetic code.
Researchers from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Engineering have developed a way to use nanochip technology to create cells inside a body to repair injuries and damaged organs, according to a study released this summer. L. James Lee, co-author of the study, said the nanochip technology creates tiny holes on the surface of the target cells. The nanochip then injects a genetic code inside the cell, reprogramming the function of the tissue. It could allow skin cells to be extracted and transform into the exact cell type needed to heal injury or disease, said Chandan Sen, director of Ohio State’s Center for Regenerative Medicine & Cell Based Therapies and the co-author of the study. The nanochip, Sen said, is not what actually regenerates the cells. Rather, it acts as a vessel for the genetic material to get inside the target cell. “Think of a syringe. The syringe does not vaccinate you. It’s what’s in the syringe that vaccinates you,” Sen said. “The idea here is that you are lacking something, or some part of your body is falling apart, and you need that repaired.”
The researchers used the noninvasive process, known as Tissue Nanotransfection (TNT), in two specific examples. Sen said the researchers had successfully used skin cells of a mouse to rescue its leg by repairing the blood vessels located there. The second application involved switching skin cells to neural cells to repair brain damage in mice. According to a press release on the study, the TNT process has a 98 percent success rate in reprogramming skin cells to become nerve cells. Lee, an Ohio State professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, helped create the original nanochip technology in 2011, but said it did not draw attention because it had no specific medical application. “Since I’m an engineering faculty, I cannot do this by myself,” Lee said. “We had to find medical collaborators.” Lee said he began to work with Sen because of his strong background in regenerative medicine, a medical field that studies how to use human cells to replace human tissue or organs that have either been injured or damaged instead of organ transplants, which can be invasive and costly. The researchers plan to conduct human trials within the next few years, pending approval to do so, Sen said.

cate with them due to power outages and the subsequent inability to reach people via phone or Internet. Frances Avila-Soto, a second-year in biomedical sciences, said she knew her family was initially safe, but it’s hard to keep up with their day-to-day well-being. “I have a grandpa who has diabetes, who needs to take insulin which is refrigerated, so if they don’t have power they can’t refrigerate the insulin,” she said. “So that’s been pretty rough. We’ve just been trying to do everything we can here.” Puerto Rico has been scrambling to recover after Hurricane Maria hit the island on Sept. 20, shortly after Hurricane Irma ran its course. Davila-Martin said Puerto Ricans are in need of everything and any donations are helpful, except clothes and footwear, which FEMA does not accept. She said everything brought in Monday will be shipped to FEMA Tuesday and go directly to Puerto Rico.
PRSA members started collecting donations at 9 a.m. Monday, and by 10 a.m. were impressed with the response they had received.

controversy. “We as students and as people who are thinking about our family in Puerto Rico are trying not to get into the politics of it,” she said. “This is a situation where people need help and we need to do everything we can to help
them.” Davila-Martin said the group hopes to hold more events in the future to support the hurricane relief efforts. “This was planned in just a few days so we are lucky that the Ohio Union had a space for us and people have been very responsive and very, very helpful,” Davila-Martin said. “We hope to do more but it is not guaranteed since it depends on the university and the support from the rest of the campus.” Whether or not the group has more physical events, students can use Venmo to help the group with monetary contributions at venmo.com/PRSAOSU. Davila-Martin said the situation on the island is devastating and she hopes the work they’re doing can help. “It feels like we’re in a thirdworld country when it really shouldn’t be this bad,” she said. “The people in Puerto Rico, if they’re good about something, it is being resilient and being very hard workers.”

President Drake poses with bandmates Nick Akins and George Barrett and Shadowbox Live executive director Stacie Boord. GHEZAL BARGHOUTY Arts & Life Editor barghouty.5@osu.edu When University President Michael Drake isn’t busy, you know, being the university president, there’s a good chance he’s busy playing classic rock tunes on his guitar. Drake will once again show off these skills Thursday when he combines forces with Columbus businessmen Nick Akins and George Barrett for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s third-annual Rock and Roll Road Show at Shadowbox Live. The band, which has yet to be named, has been together since the inaugural road show in 2015 when Alec Wightman, chairman of the board at the Rock Hall, found a group of three stray Rock Hall board members in Columbus looking to get back into music. “It was really amazing because it was the first time we’d all three gotten together to play and Greg Harris, who is the executive director out at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, he played guitar as well, so the four of us joined forces with the Shad-
owbox band and their creativity and certainly our ability to play along with them turned out to be a great event,” said Akins, CEO of American Electric Power. Each year, Shadowbox Live hosts the event to celebrate the Rock Hall and commemorate new inductees and late musicians. This year’s show will feature music from new inductees Pearl Jam, as well as George Harrison, Prince and Aretha Franklin. “It’s a real variety of popular music and a variety of different styles and we span about 50 years in release date, so music from the last half of the last century up to more recent music,” Drake said. Drake played guitar as a teenager, and then stopped for more than 40 years. But after seeing a band of old musicians play at a friend’s party, he was inspired to pull the guitar out from under his bed, dust it off and get back into music. His love for music has been a constant in his life. In college, the now-university president worked at Tower Records, where he spent most of his time playing and listening to popular music. However, his love for rock and simi-
lar types of music shine through when he’s playing the guitar. “I have been listening to the popular music of the day for a long time,” he said. “But a lot of the music that I’ve been playing now is music that would’ve been recorded in the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s [and] ‘90s. I play more things that are older than are brand new because it tends to be rock-and-roll and not as much hip-hop or whatever.”
“It’s nice to go some place where people are actually creating something in the moment that’s right there.” Michael Drake University President
Since forming, the band has played a variety of gigs around Columbus, including the mayor’s inauguration, this year’s convocation and Buckeyethon. With Drake on guitar, Akins on drums and Barrett on vocals, guitar and
keys, the band plays a wide array of genres to integrate its members’ individual tastes. “We enjoy playing everything and it’s always great for us to challenge each other on what we’re playing,” Akins said. “Michael’s [taste in] music is very broad, mine is relatively broad and George’s is broad as well.” For Akins, playing the drums has been a lifetime endeavor. The AEP executive started in seventh grade, moved to marching and studio bands in high school and continued playing in bands on the side through college and today. Barrett, the CEO of Cardinal Health, has been a classically trained musician since childhood. When the group first got together in 2015, the excitement to get on stage was obvious. “It’s probably something, I don’t know if [Drake would] want me to say this, but it was like three rockers backstage,” Akins said. “When we got back here, everyone was loose, everyone was having fun talking about all kinds of things.” For Drake, the band has been more than just a side gig. “It’s nice to go some place where people are actually creating something in the moment that’s right there, and it’s fun to play and it’s fun to listen to,” he said. Akins said being part of the event has been a way for the band members to get more involved in the community and show another side of themselves. “We all love music and we all love to play and I think it’s definitely gratifying for us to be able to give back to the community,” he said. “Typically we’re playing for fundraisers and it’s great to give back to the community doing something that we love to do, but also have the ability as CEOs in this community to be able to set the tone of really giving back in any way you can.”

An arcade console on the wall, framed photography across the room and a vibrant white sculpture occupy a new lifestyle store in the Short North.

Local publishers open bookstore, bar, event space EMILY REAL Lantern reporter real.6@osu.edu Nearly 12 years ago, Eric Obenauf and Eliza Wood-Obenauf, a married team with a shared love of music, film and books, started their own independent publishing company, Two Dollar Radio. After traveling between New York and San Diego for two years, Obenauf and Wood-Obenauf finally settled in the Columbus area, had two kids and ran their publishing company out of their home and a closet-sized office space downtown. Finally, after years of wanting to open a more community-oriented space, Two Dollar Radio opened a headquarters at 1124 Parsons Ave. on the southside of Columbus. The new place houses a bookstore, performance space, full-service coffee and alcohol bar and even features a small
menu of hearty vegan food, including dishes that feature vegan chorizo and cashew mozzarella cheese. “I think that there was just a lot of things clicking into place at the right time and we feel fortunate to have happened into this space in particular,” Obenauf said. “It’s beautiful, it’s affordable, the neighbors are all super friendly, and the community seems really enthusiastic and supportive, which is tremendous.” Obenauf said independent publishers can foster an unconventional book shopping experience, unlike mainstream publishing companies, because the books they publish are often more curated. “Independant publishers [are] doing really quality work and … because they’re run by a couple people, like we are, they tend to have a bit more distinctive taste where if you like one of their books you might like all of them,” Obenauf said. “I guess that element of discovery is pretty cool.”
In addition to the more personal selections of books and periodicals sold in the store, the couple and Brett Gregory, the publisher’s editorial and marketing assistant, designed the entire store themselves, even building the bar, bar stools, shelves and tables by hand.

Hai Poké says ‘Hi’ to Short North location EMMA STEELE Senior Lantern reporter steele.849@osu.edu For Ohio State alumnus Nile Woodson, Hai Poké started as an idea — an idea that became a concept, then a pop-up, then a food truck and, finally, as of Sept. 22, a restaurant. “When I was a senior at [Ohio State], I traveled to Los Angeles frequently and discovered poké as it was blowing up out there,” Woodson said. “I felt like it would be awesome to bring a new, different, trendy food here and that would be my concept.” Poké is a traditional Hawaiian dish made of diced raw fish. American variations typically add rice, avocados, Asian-inspired sauces and sometimes other types of proteins. As a college student, Woodson did not have enough money to make his dream happen, so he looked to the internet for help and started a Crowdfunding campaign with support from his roommate, Miko Cordero.
“I started this business because I had a vision this would be amazing in Columbus.” Nile Woodson Hai Poké Founder
“We raised $12,000 in 30 days, [which is] nowhere near enough to open a whole restaurant but enough to get us on our feet MADISON-USA FROM 4
Columbus culture.” Floyd said Columbus already has a lot to offer between the food, the art community and Ohio State. The trio wanted to merge and integrate into the existing culture, but also bring something they felt was missing: sport-influenced, street-style garments. Apparel featured includes its in-house line, which displays the shop’s name on Champion-brand sweatpants, sweatshirts and long-sleeve T-shirts, and designer brands like Death to Tennis, Robert Geller and Levi’s Vintage. “We really appreciate and respect people that kind of do clothing from an art perspective,” said Tolbert, who is the shop’s creative director. “We chose these particular designers because they have a tradition to them … but also a lot of sport influence, and a lot of what we do is influenced by sport.”
“We’re bringing Chicago with us, but we’re here to highlight the Columbus culture.” Jelani Floyd Madison-USA co-founder
Floyd, Tolbert and Turner grew up together on the west side of Chicago. Floyd said the group would play basketball, but also hang out at the corner of West Madison Street and South Pulaski Road, an area where they bought anything from bootlegged DVDs to White Castle. “That intersection of Madison and Pulaski means so much to us,” Floyd said. “Everyone in the world has a Madison-USA to them, or a street they fell in
and pull the community around us and that was really powerful right out of the gate,” Woodson said. On Aug. 13, 2015, the pair used the money to open a “pop-up” restaurant, called Hai Poké, two nights a week at Oddfellows Liquor Bar in the Short North — and from there, business has been nonstop. With the big success of the pop-up restaurant, Woodson said they realized they needed more than two nights a week to sustain their business. They later expanded to the Denmark and Red Velvet Café before starting a food truck and doing festivals and catering events. Hai Poké eventually started serving lunch five days a week at Pure Pressed Juice Bar. As of a few weeks ago, however, Hai Poké opened its first restaurant in the Short North at 674 N. High St. near Brassica. “We had been looking for spaces the whole time and I finally found this place one day last fall when I was riding my bike to the North Market,” Cordero said. The road to owning their own shop was a long and arduous process with many bumps, but Woodson is happy with the way things worked out. “I think our [gradual] approach and method helped things go relatively smooth,” Woodson said. “We took our time, established ourselves in Columbus, built the brand and did it all on a solid timeline to make sure we crossed all our t’s and dotted all our i’s.” The Sept. 22 grand opening was everything the duo said it could have hoped for. “The best feeling of this whole thing was the first person that came in and ordered a bowl,” Cordero said. “I will always remember that moment because that’s when love with as a kid or an adult that offers something special or unique and truly embodies the sentiment of the community.” Though the shop was inspired by their childhood, Tolbert said he hoped it will resonate with their customers. “We took Madison and Pulaski and shortened it to Madison-USA because we wanted to be like, ‘Hey, no matter where we go or no matter where our customers go, they are representational of the Madison brand,’” he said. Jesse Villanueva, a professional streetwear enthusiast whose sneaker collection has been featured by the New York Times, has been charged with merging the founders’ Chicago roots with Columbus culture. He calls Madison-USA an educational lifestyle shop. “Kind of the point of a lifestyle store is for it to be a balance of product and education,” Villanueva said. “It’s a matter of bringing in the brands everyone knows and love and also educating consumers on the new designer brands and creative minds that will be the next people.” Tolbert said the shop has goals of hosting workshops to teach locals and students about the stores clothing, how to start an original brand and maybe even tips on opening a store. “We’re excited to build on what we’ve created here,” Tolbert said. “There may be an artist or a designer at The Ohio State University who is sitting on a line in their dorm room that we don’t know about and we would want to put a highlight on that person.”

Ohio State to expand beyond simple, short crossing concepts as the Buckeyes have once again begun to focus on nailing deep balls, a part of the offense that has seemingly been absent since wide receiver Devin Smith left Ohio State for the NFL after the 2014 season.

the year honors haven’t changed his vision for his growth as a wrestler. The Burbank, Ohio, native was among the NCAA’s best on the offensive last season. Moore captivated many wrestling fans with his 33 wins last season. This included six pins, with perhaps the most impressive coming against Virginia Tech’s Jared Haught in last season’s NCAA consolation finals. But it’s not just the pins that showed off his offensive skill. Moore averaged 18 points per match in bouts that didn’t end in a pin. “Finishing, I think, is always going to be a big problem for me,” Moore said. “I shoot a lot, so I need to make sure the effort

But, what was important to Dixon is that he came down with the reception the reception, something Barrett and his receivers have failed to do often. After Saturday’s game, Meyer said he was disappointed in the lack of success hitting the deep ball early in the game. However, just connecting once, even though it was called back, might give Barrett the confidence in his wideouts to throw more deep balls he was missing. In January, Kevin Wilson and Day were hired as co-offensive coordinator to replace Tim Beck
and Ed Warinner to reinvigorate a once-dynamic, now-predictable and lethargic offense. The changes have been less radical and obvious than expected. Many people anticipated Wilson to enter Columbus and make radical changes to speed up the offense. That has not happened. In fact, given the concepts Day has brought to the offense, Wilson might not be the most impactful hire at offensive coordinator. “A lot of times they get questioned about when you hire a coach, do you let them enhance your offense?” Meyer said. “Ryan
Day enhanced our offense. It’s been very successful.”
watch it you’re like ‘How did he just end up doing that?’” Kevin Snyder said. “It’s pretty inspiring.” Moore’s ability to improvise and put himself in favorable positions no matter his predicament was something Ryan said he hadn’t seen since watching Soviet wrestler Arsen Fadzayev 30 years ago. “One of my favorite wrestlers of all time hit this drag to a trip … It was the sickest move I’d ever seen,” Ryan said. “When I saw him [Moore] wrestle in high school, I saw him hit it, and I knew it would work at the next level.” Moore’s humility might be something he picked up during his upbringing less than an hour
away from Cleveland. He enjoys playing the underdog in his matches, something he alluded to when speaking about his relatively quiet recruitment. But that hasn’t stopped him from reveling in his ranking for this season. “I’ve never really been the top dog, and that’ll be different this year,” Moore said. “I’m excited to take on that challenge … because I know they’re going to be gunning for me.” As would be expected from the redshirt sophomore, Moore said his goal for the season is to clean up his game, but he said the national championship — taking place in Cleveland this season — would be huge in putting his city on the wrestling world’s map. “I take a lot of pride in coming
from Norwayne [High School] and Burbank and putting that name on the map,” Moore said. Moore might prefer to let his performance on the mat do the talking for him, but his coach didn’t lack confidence talking about the wrestler from northeast Ohio. When asked who the best wrestler in the NCAA is at 197 pounds, Ryan didn’t hesitate with his answer. “Kollin Moore.”

MEN’S HOCKEY
Mason Jobst looks to lead Buckeyes back to tournament WYATT CROSHER Lantern reporter crosher.1@osu.edu It would seem that this year could potentially be a step back for the No. 19 Ohio State men’s hockey team, but junior forward Mason Jobst is looking to do his part to avoid any possible regression. The Buckeyes come into this season off their first NCAA tournament bid since 2009. But after a first-round overtime loss to then-No. 2 Minnesota-Duluth, the team lost three goalies and much of its top talent, which included captain and forward Nick Schilkey, who led the team in goals with 27.
“He’s a kid that carries himself on the ice and off the ice, he’s the one that leads our culture and does the right things.” Steve Rohlik OSU hockey coach
Jobst is returning from a dominant sophomore campaign in which he tallied 19 goals and 36 assists, led the Big Ten in points with 55 and earned second team All-American honors. Now coming into his junior year, Jobst said while he looks to improve, his goals are more team-oriented. “I think it’s just improving on the last year, being more productive than I was last year,“ Jobst said. “It was a tough loss in the first round of the NCAAs and the second round of the [Big Ten tournament], so just trying push to get further in that, and hopeful-
ly win the Big Ten Championship and win a national championship.” Western Michigan assistant coach Todd Krygier still remembers the years he spent coaching Jobst with the United States Hockey League’s Muskegon Lumberjacks in junior hockey. He remembers not only the leadership of Jobst, but also the speed, playmaking ability and hockey IQ as standing out on the ice. “His character was off the charts,” Krygier said. “His work ethic, his ability to get along with others and pull a team together and lead a team on and off the ice was absolutely fantastic.” Krygier added that in his time as Jobst’s coach, the now standout forward received little recognition from other teams and that Ohio State was one of the only teams that reached out to him. “I talked to several NCAA teams over the couple years that I coached him, and Ohio State was the only team that listened,” Krygier said. “So congrats to Ohio State, they obviously made a great decision.” Jobst was named captain for the Buckeyes Wednesday. But Krygier said Jobsts’ leadership had been obvious to him for years prior as he was a captain on Muskegon for his final two seasons. “I’ve learned a lot the last couple of years from Nick Schilkey and I think he was a great leader off the ice and on the ice, so it’s just trying to take parts of what he’d done in the past and what I’ve done to get here and try to lead this team to a championship,” Jobst said. Ohio State head coach Steve Rohlik also understood what types of positive qualities Jobst brings to the team in many as-

Krygier said. Jobst said players like future NHL Hall of Famer Martin St. Louis, current Calgary Flames wing Johnny Gaudreau, and Columbus Blue Jackets wing Cam Atkinson — all 5-foot-9 or shorter — are succeeding in ways he hopes to one day. Jobst wears the No. 26 because of St. Louis. “[St. Louis] was kind of a guy that started paving the way for smaller guys in the NHL with how hard he worked and how skilled he was,” Jobst said. Jobst and the No. 19 Buckeyes open the regular season with a pair of games on the road against a Big Ten opponent in No. 12
Wisconsin. “We’re getting right after it, playing a team that knocked us out of the Big Ten playoffs last year so I think we’re itching to get in there, and it should be a good atmosphere and a lot of fun,” Jobst said. Rohlik said Jobst is a special kind of player, and one who should only get better in this upcoming season. “As soon as you become satisfied you’re going to get passed up, and Mason’s not the kid that ever gets satisfied,” Rohlik said.
were at the game in Bloomington, Indiana, the night before were running on little sleep. Two, the rowing team had to move its regularly scheduled warmups from about 6:20 a.m. to 5 a.m., so it was also running on little sleep. And three, there wasn’t a lot of time for the cheerleaders to learn how to actually row the boat. Learning to make sure the oar enters the water perpendicular is hardly the problem (though that’s nothing to sneeze at, either). The real difficulty comes when all eight people get in the boat and have to row in harmony, a fact the cheerleaders learned quickly. “They’re all in sync moving, and then you see us and everybody is all over the place,” Halvarson said laughing. “If we’d gone again, like another day after everybody learned, I think we might’ve done better. We still wouldn’t have won, but we would’ve at least looked better.” Harpool didn’t dispute that. She said the cheerleaders had about 15 minutes in the boat before the race started. Usually, Harpool said, “most people that are actually being taught to row have weeks of building up with different skill-
sets before they actually row with all eight people in the boat.” “We’ve never really thrown someone in a boat with very minimal explanation and been like, ‘You just have a few minutes. Figure it out,’” she said. “I don’t think any of us knew what to expect, but they got the boat moving pretty well there by the end.” The race likely isn’t the end of the cheerleaders challenging other teams in their sports. Of course, it always depends on logistics, and Halvarson said it is easiest to arrange when teams aren’t amid their competitive season, which was the case with volleyball and rowing. Currently, Halvarson said the cheerleaders are trying to set something up with the rifle team. And after men’s soccer senior defender Niall Logue overheard Marsch talking about the rowing race in a class they have together, Logue asked to exchange phone numbers so they could try to organize a competition between teams. Plus, Harpool said the cheerleaders’ two cross-sport adventures were brought up at a Student-Athlete Advisory Committee meeting, and “it seemed
like everybody across the board loved the concept of switching sports for a day or trying to compete against other teams.” “Everybody is really pumped about the idea and wants to see more of it,” she said, which means, despite the gaps between the rowers and cheerleaders on the water, the cheerleaders appear to be on their way to getting their wish — seeing any remaining social gaps continue to close.
CHEER TEAM FROM 8
we’re not talking,’ so this kind of bridges that gap,” said Carter Marsch, a senior cheerleader. There aren’t any deep fissures within the athletic department, but, as senior rower Chelsea Harpool put it, “We all have our own practices and everything. We don’t really interact much,” so athletes often look forward to chances to hang out across teams. And so far, the race has accomplished what it sought to do. “It’s been super fun since then because a lot of people on our team and the cheer team that were part of it know each other now,” Harpool said. “We see each other all the time in French [Fieldhouse] or just around the different athletic facilities just to catch up.” The stage for the race was set over the summer when Harpool talked with cheerleader Kyler Holland while hanging out with a fellow members of Athletes In Action, a campus ministry group. Holland mentioned a video he made of his teammates competing against the Ohio State women’s volleyball team in the spring — the first time the cheerleaders competed against other Buckeye athletes — to Harpool, and told her how fun it would be to

do something similar against the rowing team. Harpool mentioned the idea to her coach, Andy Teitelbaum, the next day, and he was on board with the idea. The race was the morning after the Ohio State football team’s first game against Indiana, and, because it had to happen before speed boats began creating wakes on the river, it meant three things.

The receiver, with the help of a key block from tight end

That play was just the latest in a series of crossing routes Ohio State has integrated to boost an offense, which struggled mightily late last season and for much of the team’s lone loss to Oklahoma in Week 2.

The race was close — but only for a moment. Not long after it began, the Ohio State rowing team glided past the other boat in the water, building a lead with each harmonious sweep of the oar.

Going into his second season, Moore, along with his coaches and fans, is hopeful he will elevate his game to the level of a national champion. That goal might be closer than anyone has realized. Going into this season, there are no losses on Moore’s record to any wrestler still in the NCAA. Both Pfarr — who handed Moore three losses last season — and the reigning 197-pound champion, Missouri’s J’Den Cox, have graduated. With those two gone, the 197-pound division could be Moore’s for the taking.

In the other boat, with less harmony, were members of the Ohio State cheer team. As the distance between the two vessels on the Scioto River grew wider, the obvious became, well, even more obvious: the rowing team was not going to lose this race against the cheer team. Then again, the reason the cheerleaders — one wearing a wrestling singlet, another wearing a Cleveland Browns’ Johnny Manziel jersey and yellow football pants with one knee pad — found themselves in a boat at 7:45 a.m. on Sept. 1 was never really about who would win. As senior cheerleader Axel Halvarson put it, it’s about “inter-team bonding.” “You always walk around campus and you see the book bags of athletes, but you don’t really want to say ‘Hi’ to them, because it’s like, ‘I don’t know you, but I’m an athlete too.
