Buckeye defense is nuts After dominating Rutgers, the OSU defense is looking to halt the Hoosiers NICK MCWILLIAMS Sports Editor mcwilliams.66@osu.edu Urban Meyer is a fan of big, mobile quarterbacks, running the ball and defenses that do not give an inch. This season, the Ohio State coach has all three elements, with the defensive unit quite possibly being the most impressive part of the team.

Against Rutgers, the Silver Bullets simply dominated. Surrendering just 116 total yards, OSU held Rutgers to its worst completion percentage this season, at just 18.75 percent.

The only real offense given up by the Buckeyes on Saturday came courtesy of Rutgers junior

running back Robert Martin, who produced 40 yards on 13 carries.

Overall, OSU surrendered an average of 2.2 yards per carry, its best number this season.

Meyer loves to play defensive football, and his team has given him record-setting defensive football this season. After a few slow offensive starts at the beginning of each game, he said the key has been the play of his defense, which has kept the Buckeyes in every game.

“You know, any time you have great defense that’s — just the way the game of football is, you have great defense, thing are going to get usually rolling for you at some point,” Meyer said. “Even if you struggle a little bit.”

Reports of on-campus forcible sex crimes increased in 2015 NICK ROLL Campus Editor roll.66@osu.edu

Forcible sex offenses reported on campus, 2015 Findings from the 2016 Clery Act report

DANIEL SMYTH Lantern reporter smyth.41@osu.edu Reports of rape and fondling on Ohio State’s Columbus campus rose in the 2015 calendar year from the year prior, according to an annual safety report released by the university. Reports of dating violence, aggravated assault and burglary increased as well.

The results come from the 2016 Annual Campus Security Report and Annual Fire Safety Report, published Friday by the Department of Public Safety, as mandated by the federal Clery Act. Crimes reported on campus that saw a decrease in reporting include domestic violence, which decreased from five reports to four; stalking, which decreased from 19 reports to 15; and motor vehicle theft, which decreased from 11 reports to three.

“It’s kind of a doubleedged sword ... A huge focus is to increase reporting.”

On-campus reports (non-residence halls)

*Before a change in laws, fondlings and rapes were considered one category (”Sex offense forcible”) in 2013 **Includes properties owned or managed by the university, such as the University Hospital East and fraternity and sorority houses ROBERT SCARPINITO | MANAGING EDITOR FOR DESIGN

There were 25 rapes reported on campus, along with five reported under the classification “non-campus.” As defined by the Clery Act, non-campus includes university-managed property not directly on-campus, such as fraternity and sorority housing, University Hospital East and offices rented by the university across the county.

Twenty-one of the 25 rapes reported were reported in residence halls.

On-campus reports of fondling increased from 12 to 14 for the 2015 calendar year. In 2013, federal reporting requirements combined data for fondling and rape, listed under “sex offence forcible,”

and the on-campus total was 24.

While an increase in reported forcible sex crimes is not something the university wants to hear, Dan Hedman, spokesman for the Office of Administration and Planning, said it also means that people are coming forward.

“It’s kind of a double-edged sword,” Hedman said. “A huge focus is to increase reporting.”

The recently released 2016 Ohio State Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Misconduct reported that 20.6 percent of female student respondents and 5.5 percent of male student respondents experienced “nonconsensual sexual contact by physical force, threats of physical

force, or incapacitation,” although that survey sampled students across the student body regardless of whether or not the crime occurred on-campus, whereas the Clery Act is limited to on-campus reports.

The Clery Act report follows specific federal requirements. It includes all the crimes that fall into 16 categories, and were reported to have occurred on-campus, in certain non-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the university, and on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from campus.

OSUPD to begin Community Police Academy “The instructors hope they can learn from the students, faculty and staff about their perspectives and any concerns they have.”

Cassandra Shaffer University Police detective Instructor, Community Police Academy

DANIEL SMYTH Lantern reporter smyth.41@osu.edu Members of the Ohio State community will have an opportunity to see what it is like to be a police officer, thanks to the new Community Police Academy held

by University Police.

Participants must be current students, staff or faculty, at least 18 years of age and are required to pass a background check.

University Police Chief Craig Stone said the course is open to more than those just interested in law enforcement.

“I think it might be interesting to them, an eye-opener. They’ll get to see other facets of the Department of Public Safety,” Stone said.

Participants will receive active-shooter, civilian-response training, discuss the use of force and body cameras, perform mock crime scene investigations, participate in role-playing activities, and learn to process fingerprints and photographs of prisoners.

The program also will include a two-hour ride-along with a University Police officer.

During the ride-along, participants will be in the front seat with an officer and they will help perform building checks, bike rack surveillance, routine patrols, traffic stops or accompany the officer on service calls, said detective Cassandra Shaffer, one of the instructors of the academy.

Although participants will not receive academic credit from the academy, there will be a formal graduation ceremony with certificates and T-shirts.

“We want to expose them as much as we can to the Department of Public Safety,” Stone said.

The learning experience is intended to be twofold, benefitting officers as well, Shaffer said.

“The instructors hope they can learn from the students, faculty and staff about their perspectives and any concerns they have,” Shaffer said. “We are also hoping that a safe, open platform for constructive debate will occur, causing both officer and participant to see the challenges that law enforcement face. We also expect the officers to gain insight, such as how the actions of law enforcement are perceived, and what can

be done to have a better relationship with the community.”

The Community Police Academy is a four-week program starting Wednesday at Blankenship Hall and is free of charge for those who applied to the program. For those who missed the Saturday deadline, there is another Community Police Academy scheduled for Spring Semester.

“We cannot do our job effectively without the public’s assistance,” Shaffer said. “We need their assistance just as they need ours. The better and stronger that relationship is, the better we as a department can serve our community.”

Program teaches Columbus youth social skills SHERIDAN HENDRIX Lantern reporter hendrix.87@osu.edu For 40 years, the National Youth Sports Program provided kids in low-income neighborhoods across the country with safe spaces to play during the summer months through sports camps. But when federal funding was cut in 2006, Ohio State feared that losing the program would create a gap in youth development in Central Ohio, specifically with kids living near the poverty level.

LiFEsports, or Learning in Fitness and Education through Sports, is a program born through a partnership between OSU’s College of Social Work, the Department of Athletics and the Recreational Sports under the Office of Student that works to teach kids social skills and healthy living habits through sports.

What began in 2008 as a continuation of the NYSP has grown to serving more than 1,700 kids a year through its annual summer camp, youth leadership academies and monthly sports clinics.

“We’re using the power of sport to create life skills and that, through them, students can use them to better their lives, take them out into the community, and become the next community leaders,” said Rebecca Wade-Mdivanian, director of operations for LiFEsports and director of youth development at the College of Social Work.

While the program is not exclusively for kids from low-income homes, 81 percent

nize how to use S.E.T.S. in the real world and report using them regularly outside of camp.

Research also showed that students after camp were more inclined to exercise for at least an hour a day, eat five fruits and vegetables a day and choose to drink water instead of pop. Nearly 80 percent of the students said they know how to use S.E.T.S to live a healthy lifestyle.

In addition, 80 percent of kids who participate in LiFEsports said that their involvement with the program made them want to go to college.

COURTESY OF LIFESPORTS

LiFEsports is a summer program offered to children that provides them with the opportunity to learn about sports and improve their social skills. of LiFEsports’ students live within 200 percent of the poverty line. For a family of four, a yearly income within 200 percent of the poverty line is $48,600.

During its four-week summer camp, students ages nine to 15 learn about social skills through what the camp calls S.E.T.S., which stands for self control, effort, teamwork and social responsibility. Campers learn about S.E.T.S. through basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse, softball, swimming, volleyball and social dance, as well as health and fitness activities.

“We picked these skills because they

contribute to the idea that (these) are lifelong skills that kids can use in the classroom and at home,” Wade-Mdivanian said.

“These skills are needed in every aspect of someone’s life, but are often lacking. You’d be surprised by how many kids can’t keep their hands to themselves in line because they don’t understand self control.”

LiFEsports conducts research during its camps and clinics, partly through an academic course that works closely with the program. Research found that by the end of camp, students were not only more competent with sport skills, but could also recog-

less of if they were reported by students or unaffiliated persons.

Burglary, as defined by the Clery Act, is the theft of an item from a location where a person is not authorized to be.

This wouldn’t include the theft of a laptop from a dorm room, for example, said Kellie Brennan, OSU’s Title IX coordinator, because it could have been stolen by a student with access to the residence hall. Unless it was proven that it was stolen by someone not authorized to be there, it would not be counted.

Overall, “major on-campus crime” — which includes aggravated assault, arson, burglary, homicide, motor vehicle theft, rape, robbery, theft and theft from motor vehicle — has fallen from 803 incidents in 2011 to 477 in 2015, Hedman said in a follow-up email. “(The) Department of Public Safety utilizes a combination of sworn police, uniformed security and surveillance and technology to deter crime on our Columbus campus,” Hedman said. “(University Police) reinitiated bike patrols to more effectively patrol campus, as well as enhance community interaction and proactive policing.”

For 2015, arrests and disciplinary referrals for alcohol law violations decreased on campus. In 2013 and 2014, 197 and 200 people were arrested on campus for alcohol violations, respectively, compared to 119

arrests in 2015.

Meanwhile, arrests for drug violations increased in 2015, with 46 arrests. That compares to 30 arrests in 2014 and 25 arrests in 2013.

“A lot of work has been done to address alcohol and drug use,” Brennan said.

“With the North Residential District opening, there’s reason to think that these numbers could rise.”

Dan Hedman University spokesman

Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students, known as BASICS, and the Cannabis Screening and Intervention for College Students, or CASICS, are two programs offered by the university which provide information and guidance regarding alcohol and marijuana.

The goals of these two programs are to reduce risky behaviors involved with alcohol and marijuana use.

For both alcohol and drug violations, disciplinary referrals exceeded arrests. There were 1,587 referrals for alcohol in 2015, compared to 1,825 in 2014, and 1,640 in

2013. For drug violations, 191 people were referred for disciplinary action in 2015, having dropped from a three-year high of 398 in 2013 and 247 in 2014.

“Arresting a student is on the bottom of the list,” said University Police Chief Craig Stone, giving the example that a small amount of marijuana in a dorm room could result in discipline from student conduct rather than an arrest. This is different than other incidents, he noted, in which arresting the accused offender is required, such as in domestic violence reports.

When the report is issued next year and the year after, documenting the 2016 and 2017 calendar years, there might be an uptick in crimes reported because those reports would document the increase of students living on campus, which began this year.

“With the North Residential District opening, there’s reason to think that these numbers could rise,” Hedman said.

Stone said he was aiming to combat that with an increase of University Police officers, however. OSU is scheduled to hire four additional officers with funding from alcohol sales at Ohio Stadium.

“We’re hoping to provide the same level of service,” Stone said. “And we want to be more mobile, and more visible.”

Performing arts medicine gets new space DOMINIQUE JOHNSON Lantern reporter johnson.6289@osu.edu To many, the grand jeté is graceful dance leap, but to Ohio State medical professionals it is an athletic movement that must be done with proper form.

The OSU performing arts medicine team now has a new facility, the Jameson Crane Sports Medicine Institute, located northwest of campus. The new $45-million facility, which opened in September, includes a dance floor and ballet bars that allow the performing arts medical staff to provide more private and hands-on rehabilitation care with their clients.

The performing arts medicine team is a subset of sports medi-

cine at the Wexner Medical Center, and focuses on health and wellness for active artists including dancers, gymnasts and musicians, according to its website. Its services include athletic training, chiropractic care, wellness workshops and cross training classes.

Even with the new location, its

mission remains the same in informing dancers of the resources the team offers in an effort to ensure proper movement technique and overall wellness.

Hope Davis-Coen, the team’s leader, said she has a goal of informing dancers of the importance of tending to minor injuries

“We work with a lot of professional dancers … they work the same level as any other professional athlete,” Davis-Coen said.

FALL FASHION

Dressing up or down for fall KONNI LORENZ For the Lantern lorenz.131@osu.edu Summer is officially over. After the seemingly never-ending heat, it’s finally time to unveil your most fashionable jeans, scarves, boots and sweaters for the change in season. For the days you feel inspired by the fall fashion ideas on Pinterest and pumpkin spice lattes, and also inspired to dress up, there are options for you. But

don’t worry, there is an outfit for the majority of the other days of the week that you aren’t as motivated to get all dressed up. Here are some outfit options to help decide which fashionista you’ll be this fall.

Feeling Dressy: On the left, I chose to put together an outfit that is a little lighter and maybe even slightly springlike. The fall can be cold and dreary at times, so it can be nice to have a put-together outfit that brightens your mood and

makes you feel more prepared for the day. At the same time, both the sweater and the jeans are soft and stretchy, making it a comfortable, but cute, choice.

With a cardigan, a scarf and tall brown boots, the center outfit just screams fall to me. This outfit is one of my favorites because it is exactly the kind of outfit I associate with autumn with all of the colors of the changing leaves.

It brings me excitement for the change of the seasons.

Feeling Casual: This last outfit I simply love. Although it’s not the absolute cutest combination of clothes you can find in your closet, it very well may be the most comfortable. Just about every girl I know feels a level of affection for their leggings, oversized T-shirts and, of course, Ugg boots. It’s such an easy and casual outfit for the days that it takes all you have just to get out of bed for class.

Book offers new glimpse into football legend’s life LAURIE HAMAME Lantern reporter hamame.3@osu.edu Honored by a plaque and tree in the Buckeye Grove, Bill Willis is remembered as Ohio State’s first black All-American in football.

The Columbus native played for the Cleveland Browns for his entire professional career, and was a trailblazer during the NFL’s period of segregation.

But, according to those who knew him best, he was a family man first.

His life outside of the game, in which he was known as “Poppa” by his grandchildren and family, was rarely shared or publicized.

This inspired his daughter-in-law, Linda Fleming-Willis, to write a children’s book on his legacy, “Poppa’s Ring.”

Set in Columbus, “Poppa’s Ring” looks into the personal life of Willis through the eyes of his grandchildren. While he is legendary to football enthusiasts, Willis was also a role model to his family. He exemplified positive values, respect and strived for excellence in every aspect of his life, Fleming-Willis said.

“The things that I want children to take away from the book is the importance of doing their best, being people of their word and being respectful, because those were the values that he was also stressing with his grandchildren,” Fleming-Willis said.

But the book isn’t only for children.

“Adults who like a bit of history and Ohio State can find that in the book and get a different perspective of him,” Fleming-Willis said.

“I think that was my challenge. Is it a children’s book? Is it an adult book? What is it? And in the end, I think it’s a blend.”

Willis’ lifelong partner and wife of 55 years, Odessa Willis, known as “Nana” also stressed and reinforced good values with their grandchildren. In the book, when their youngest granddaughter, Imani, loses Poppa’s championship ring, it provides an opportunity for Nana to share some football history with her grandchildren.

The lesson includes Bill Willis’ football success at East High School in Columbus, at OSU and with the Cleveland Browns. It also highlights some of the challenges he encountered during the racial integration of the sport.

The two-time Heisman Trophy winner was the first and only Buckeye defender to have his number retired. Former OSU football coach Jim Tressel commented on Bill Willis’ impact after his

death in 2007.

“Bill Willis made a profound impact on the game of football throughout his lifetime,” Tressel said in a press release. “Even as recently as this fall, Mr. Willis was serving as a powerful role model for our players and coaches. Number 99 will be missed greatly, but we will draw strength from his life, accomplishments, and his Ohio Stadium recognition.”

Aside from his football career, Willis was chairman of the Ohio Youth Commission, and implemented new approaches in treatment and rehabilitation. Just as he influenced Ohio youth, he influenced his own family members. “(He taught me) the importance of integrity … being a person of your word, standing by good values and beliefs, letting people see that in what you do and once you do that, then you’re someone that people can choose to emulate,” Fleming-Willis said.” I think a lot of what he stood for, his grandchildren seek to emulate now.”

stage they are out of breath and tending to injuries, because they work really hard.”

After being sidelined for six months with a back injury early in her previous dance career, Davis-Coen decided to go into the medicine field, specializing in performing arts. She saw a need for medical professionals who understand how to modify technique and understand the demands on a dancer’s body.

The performing arts medicine team checks for injuries at least twice a month in the Ohio State departments of dance and music.

They also work on site every day and travel with Columbus’ BalletMet professional dance company and studio.

“We have our hands in so many things, but we want to make sure we are giving a solid product,” Davis-Coen said. “That’s our ultimate goal. When you have a patient that is happy and back to performing, that is the best kind of advertisement you can have. We pride ourselves in patient care.”

in the Big Ten with 1,278 passing yards, and leads the conference in terms of yards per attempt among other starting quarterbacks.

In the backfield, junior Devine Redding is off to a fast start, picking up 413 yards rushing, averaging 5 yards per carry, but has failed to find the endzone. OSU has yet to surrender a rushing touchdown this season.

Off to a 3-1 start, Indiana is coming off a barn-burner matchup against then-No. 17 Michigan State. The Hoosiers stunned the Spartans in overtime, picking up their third win of the season.

Redshirt junior linebacker Chris Worley said he is not shocked the Hoosiers won. In the mind of Worley, it was all about the skill level of each team.

“If both teams play hard, the best team should win on Saturdays,” Worley said. “I think both teams played hard, and the best team won.”

Indiana presents a dynamic attack, which promotes an interesting challenge to the Buckeyes.

Allowing just 9.0 points per game, OSU has one of the best defenses in the nation, which is exactly why OSU defensive coordinator Luke Fickell feels his unit is ready for the test of the Hoosiers.

“We talk about objectives all the time, and objectives are things we measure every single day, every week,” Fickell said. “We try to leave the goals and the big long-term things until the end of the year. We know we’re are on the right path, we know we gotta continue to improve, but we like where we are right now.”

OSU sacked Rutgers redshirt junior Chris Laviano three times, with three different players dragging down the quarterback. Redshirt junior Tyquan Lewis, redshirt freshman Robert Landers and freshman Nick Bosa all broke through the offensive line and took down Laviano.

So far, Lewis and Bosa have two sacks each this season, while Landers picked up the first sack of his OSU career.

For the first time this season,

OSU’s defense failed to record a turnover. Incredibly, Rutgers is the first offense this season to prevent the Buckeyes from scoring a defensive touchdown.

Indiana ranks as one of the worst in the nation in interceptions thrown per game, giving up nearly two picks per game. Although the Hoosiers give up plenty of picks and OSU missed out on forcing a turnover Saturday, redshirt sophomore cornerback Marshon Lattimore said grabbing another interception is not the goal.

“I feel like if you’re too thirsty to get an interception, that’s when things go bad, so I’m just going to continue to play my technique and if it comes, it comes,” Lattimore said.

Looking to continue their dominance on defense, the Buckeyes will face Lagow, Redding and the rest of the Hoosiers on Saturday in Ohio Stadium at 3:30 p.m. in their second Big Ten game of the season.

“Primarily, first and foremost, (our goal) is to make certain that we’re leaders in advancing health and safety for our student athletes,” Borchers said. “We want to make certain that we are staying

on the forefront of everything we can do to promote health and safety for our student athletes and be advocates for them.”

Borchers said being at the top of sports health care and providing a friendly and helpful atmosphere is key to the success.

“Secondarily, we want to make certain that we’re providing an environment where we are doing all that we can to help these student athletes be accessible to the things

ing attack. Junior running back Devine Redding is averaging 103 yards per game on the ground, ranking second in the Big Ten behind OSU redshirt freshman Mike Weber. Redshirt junior linebacker Chris Worley played with Redding at Glenville High School in Cleveland, and complemented his downhill style of attacking the first line of defense.

Worley said that the team needs to focus even more on Indiana this week than previous seasons because of a change in the Hoosiers’ offensive attack.

“I think this year they’re more run-minded. The last few years, I believe they have been more of a passing offense,” he said. “It’s a little bit of a transition for them, but it’s something we have to get used to.”

OSU has the pressure each week of donning a giant target on its back, one that every challenger wants to hit dead-center. While OSU has withstood that pressure thus far, Indiana has given the Buckeyes a scare in past years, and

there’s room to believe that could be the same story on Saturday.

“This is by far their best team,” Meyer said. “And that is being very respectful of the other teams we’ve played against. For four years in a row it’s been a swing as hard as you can.”

PLEASE RECYCLE

Fellow Buckeyes, In 2014, I received a call from Ohio State legend Archie Griffin to congratulate me on winning the Alumni Association scholarship.

While it felt surreal then, that scholarship has provided me with financial support, as well as professional and faculty mentors, for a lifetime.

My scholarship was awarded during the But for Ohio State Campaign, a fundraising effort supported by graduates before us, and thousands of other impassioned Buckeyes. More than $3 billion has been given to The Ohio State University to support us, those who teach and advise us, the research being done to find cures and change the world, and the buildings that make campus our home.

Ohio State opens doors to incredible opportunities. For me, those have included working at the Wexner Medical Center on brain cancer research, and another project for NASA about microgravity’s effects on the body.

I want to thank the more than 750,000 members of Buckeye Nation who contributed to the But for Ohio State Campaign for helping to attract the most brilliant faculty, for ensuring we work and learn in world-class facilities, and for helping tens of thousands of students like me discover what’s truly possible.

OSU coach Urban Meyer yells toward the referees after a penalty on the Buckeyes during the first half of the game against Rutgers on Oct. 1. The Buckeyes won 58-0.

JACOB MYERS Assistant Sports Editor myers.1669@osu.edu Since taking over the job in 2012, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has had his team tested against perennial Big Ten bottom feeder Indiana and coach Kevin Wilson.

Meyer’s first game against Wilson and the Hoosiers in 2012 ended in a 52-49 nail-biter that came down to an onside kick in the final minute after Indiana scored 14 points in under a minute. In 2014, Indiana had the lead in the third quarter before Jalin Marshall

scored four touchdowns, and last season came down to the final play in a 34-27 victory.

Indiana pulled off the upset at home against then-No. 17 Michigan State last week, giving the Hoosiers confidence heading into Columbus. After a Hoosiers win, Meyer said he believes Indiana might be quite the challenge to his team.

“I think they got an excellent coaching staff and you can see some really positive, really good things on videotape,” Meyer said.

“Their game Saturday, that was a great win for that program.”

OSU redshirt junior quarterback J.T. Barrett (16) and other members of the OSU offense celebrate wide receiver Parris Campbell’s (21) third-quarter touchdown against Rutgers.

OSU trouble in the past, and that could be the same in this week’s matchup. But what compelled Meyer to make such a statement was the overhaul of the Hoosier defense. In the offseason, Wilson hired Tom Allen as the team’s defensive coordinator, who coached a University of South Florida defense that ranked first in its conference last season, allowing 19.6 points per game.

The Ohio State offense has been nearly unstoppable in the early going this season, averaging 57 points and 576 total yards per game. Redshirt junior quarterback J.T. Barrett is looking to add to his

career passing touchdowns record that currently sits at 59, and has the opportunity to break the program record for total touchdowns responsible for, sitting just four shy of Braxton Miller’s record.

Barrett didn’t play in last year’s victory over Indiana, but he vividly remembers the 2014 game that had OSU trailing in the second half. He said Indiana was one of the games of his redshirt freshman season where he took off his shoulder pads after the game and thought, “(I’m) glad that’s over.”

“The first two series (Indiana) was in kind of base coverage, and then after a while they started

they started throwing everything at us and it was like, ‘Woah my, where did this come from?’” Barrett said. “They always play hard against us and they’re going to come after us.”

Although they will not acknowledge it, the Buckeyes have a game in two weeks in Madison, Wisconsin, that greatly affects the realm of college football and the state of the College Football Playoff. Meyer has always been a one-game-at-a-time coach, but to think OSU is not looking at the Wisconsin game on Oct. 15 would be naive. Oklahoma was seen as the Buckeyes’ first test this season, but Wisconsin provides a different style of play that Meyer and his team haven’t faced in 2016, and OSU has a history of being in close games at Camp Randall.

One similarity between Indiana and Wisconsin is their rush-

Department of Athletics names new head team physician EDWARD SUTELAN Lantern reporter sutelan.1@osu.edu Last week, Dr. James Borchers was named head team physician for the Ohio State Department of Athletics.

In the new position, Borchers will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day operations of other team physicians and ensuring that every varsity student-athlete receives the best possible care.

Borchers said he is excited to take on the challenges of the new position. He started in his new role on Sept. 22.

“It’s very humbling,” Borchers said. “It’s a position that I think I’ve prepared for and am really looking forward to doing. It means a lot for me in my career development, and it means a lot for me doing it here at Ohio State.”

Dr. Christopher Kaeding, executive director of sports medicine at OSU, decided that with the recent expansions of the sports medicine program, it would benefit from someone heading the team physicians.

“With the expansion of our program and the increase in demands, regulation and bureaucracy and the caring for a Division I collegiate athletic program, we need to expand our personnel and resources to meet those needs,” Kaeding

Dr. James Borchers is the head team physician for OSU athletics and Director of Medical Services for The Ohio State Univeristy Wexner Medical Center . said.

And for Kaeding, Borchers was a shoe-in for the job.

“I think he has a passion for the job,” Kaeding said. “He has 12 years of experience, and he understands and is very good at implementing the team concept of caring for the student athletes.”

Borchers has been working at Ohio State for 12 years, but his time as a Buckeye started long before his time in the sports medicine program. After leaving his hometown of Bellbrook, Ohio,

Borchers played center and long snapper for the OSU football team from 1989 to 1993. But, as a player, Borchers was still a bit unsure about what the future had in store for him.

“At that time when I played, I had an interest in medicine, but I also had some other interests and I didn’t really, at that point, have it figured out that that’s what I wanted to do,” Borchers said.

“But certainly we had great team physicians back then, and I really appreciated the care I got. And

I think as I went on and went to medical school and got involved in medicine, I really appreciated it more.”

After graduating from OSU, Borchers went on to the Northeastern Ohio College of Medicine, where he received his M.D. He completed his residency and fellowship at the University of Toledo Athletic Department from 2000 to 2004.

Since then, Borchers has been providing care to varsity athletes at his alma mater in the role of

team physician.

While working as a physician, Borchers completed his master’s of public health at Ohio State in 2008, a degree that has done a lot to benefit him in his line of work.

“It’s been helpful as a sports medicine physician because although we are concerned about individual athletes, often times we are making decisions, too, that affect teams and groups of people and looking for ways to help treat certain injury types or prevent certain injury types so it really has been helpful for me with my career,” Borchers said.

Over the last two years, Borchers has had a more advanced role in the sports medicine field, serving the program at OSU as lead physician, associate professor, and division director of sports medicine.

To Kaeding, Borchers’ promotion serves more as a new title than new tasks to complete.

“It’s actually a very small jump from being the director of clinical operations to being the head team physician,” Kaeding said. “He’s essentially been doing the majority of the job as head team physician already; we’re just recognizing him with the formal title.”

But the new title does come with some additional responsibilities. In addition to overseeing othBORCHERS CONTINUES ON 6
