Some professors have asked students to sign up for an online app, Top Hat, instead of buying a clicker to answer questions and polls in the classroom.

“We needed a simple and secure and affordable way for students to participate in live lectures,” said Travis Ritter, senior associate director of learning systems and infrastructure for the Office of Distance Education and eLearning.

Ritter said the previous system used for students to participate in lectures, a clicker system, forced students to buy a $40 clicker with limited functionality. He added in a follow-up email OSU’s purchase of a university-wide license from Top Hat cost a total of $120,000 per year, or about $2 per student.

The license means the app is free for all Ohio State students.

OSU’s favorite anthropomorphic nut spent the evening celebrating with old friends, including Athletic Director Gene Smith and players from the national champion-winning football team.

He also spent time making new friends while helping introduce freshmen to some of the university’s most cherished traditions.

“Welcome to the ‘Shoe,” Smith said to first-year attendees. “This is your new home, right here — seven days a year.”

Students also practiced quick counts with the football team, met Student Life Vice President Javaune Adams-Gaston, sang along to “Hang on Sloopy” and “Carmen Ohio,” and watched the marching band spell Script Ohio and play “Across the Field,” in celebration of the song’s 100th anniversary.

THE WEEK IN WELLNESS

A healthy sleeping pattern and how to attain it DANIKA STAHL Assistant Campus Editor stahl.145@osu.edu Each week The Lantern speaks with experts at Ohio State for the latest in student health and wellness tips and news.

Sleep can be elusive. With a mountain of homework steadily rising on the desk and notes to go over for future exams, making time for just a quick nap can seem daunting and at times downright impossible. But there is hope! Michaela Martin, the wellness coordinator in the Student Life Student Wellness Center, discusses healthy sleeping patterns with The Lantern.

Q: How much sleep should the average college-aged student aim for?

A: The National Sleep Foundation recommends seven to nine hours of sleep for young adults ages 18-25.

Q: How can students establish a healthy sleeping pattern?

A: 18.8 percent of students reported having an extremely hard time falling asleep, and only 11 percent felt well rested when they

woke up the next day, according to data from the National College Health Assessment in 2014. Establishing a nightly routine can help change these numbers. Go to bed around the same time each night and wake up the same time each day even on weekends and even when your (Monday-Wednesday-Friday) differ from (Tuesday-Thursday) classes. Your body will develop a natural sleep schedule if you keep things the same.

Q: What are some tips and tricks for falling asleep easier when your head hits the pillow?

A: Unplug at least 30 minutes before. Unplug from cellphone usage, TV, laptop, etc. The light from electronic screens tricks your mind into thinking it is daytime, thus making it harder to fall asleep.

Read a book. Stop caffeine at least eight hours before bed because it takes just about that much time for caffeine to process through your body. Drinking chamomile tea before bed has proven to be calming and helps ease the mind. If your mind won’t stop racing, making a to-do list (or) schedule for the next day has shown to calm the mind.

them to pay additional money to use the service. Ritter said students should not pay for those services.

“College affordability is something we’re concerned about,” Dave Hooker, a learning technology innovation leader for the Office of the Chief Information Officer, said.

Without OSU’s partnership with the app, Hooker said the app could cost $20 for a student to purchase a semester pass to use Top Hat and about $40 for a five-year pass.

About 249 professors have used Top Hat at OSU so far, Ritter said in an email. He added that he anticipated a continued increase during the year.

Mary McGrath, a first-year in biology, said she liked using Top Hat for her biology class, though she had only used the app once.

“I thought it was good we could use different devices,” she said.

McGrath added she liked that she could see how her peers reply to questions in the course forums.

Samantha Weisal, a third-year in French, said she hadn’t used the app for her classes, but remembered using clickers during a first-year biology course.

“Those clickers are really expensive,” she said. “I use everything on my phone.”

Lisa Cravens-Brown, a senior lecturer of psychology, is teaching three courses this semester

and is using Top Hat in all of her classes.

“I really like the idea that I can use a classroom response system for all my students,” she said.

Cravens-Brown said she intended to use the app for classroom polls and will have her students earn participation points through the system. However, she said she kept her gradebook in Carmen because she preferred that system.

While it was too early to tell how her students like the app so far, Cravens-Brown said they liked not having to use clickers or pay for the app.

“About mid-semester, we’ll talk more about keeping (Top Hat),” she said.

in all formats; you can read it on your iPad, your phone or your PC,” she said. “That is compared to the conventional textbook which students were using before which is about $127.”

Distributing e-textbooks rather than printed textbooks for typical introductory-level courses can save each student an average of $128 per course, according to a report released by the Student Public Interest Research Groups in February.

Aside from common e-book features like highlighting text and bookmarking pages, students can use Engage to mark parts of the text with questions they have for their instructors, allowing an immediate, personal interaction within the context of the material.

Additionally, students can collaborate with each other by sharing notes directly through Courseload’s service. Faculty members can monitor how the students consume the material and then tailor the course around that data, according to the website.

Some students, like Russell, have said they aren’t particularly excited for the new e-textbook library and that they wouldn’t get too much out of it.

“I guess as a really old-fashioned English major, I prefer to have the book in my hand,” she said. “I know it’d be cheaper to do it (the electronic) way, but I really don’t spend a lot on my books.”

But Michael Schnelzer, a fourth-year in mechanical engineering, said he thinks differently and would prefer having textbooks in a centralized online location, even though he already uses e-textbooks for some of his classes.

“I think that would be great,” he said. “I’m for anything that would save me money, especially on textbooks.”

institution members, as well as software tools that can be used in classrooms.

Unizin has recently acquired Courseload, a company that created a software platform called Engage. E-textbooks and course materials can be accessed via Engage, which features many tools to help students collaborate with others and their professors, according to Courseload’s website.

The platform will be called Unizin Engage because of Unizin’s acquisition, and the service will begin rolling out next fall, said Liv Gjestvang, associate vice president of learning technology at OSU. Unizin is securing contracts with major textbook publishers to build an e-textbook library.

Faculty members can search through Engage’s library and make course textbooks available to students, who can buy access to them for a cheaper price than printed textbooks, said Ashley Miller, the program manager of affordability and access at the Office of Distance Education and eLearning. No faculty member is required to use Engage, however.

“I think a lot of my professors are kind of technophobic,” said Kaylee Russell, a fourth-year in English. “Some of them don’t activate Carmen. I couldn’t see them (using Engage).”

OSU is already testing the waters with e-textbooks and currently has a digital store for about 35 titles, and roughly three-fourths of those titles are open source and free to the public. The rest remain relatively inexpensive, with Miller referencing Theatre 2100’s textbook, “The Art of the Now: Introduction to Theatre and Performance,” as an example.

“That book is (about) $28.

All the while, Brutus led the spirit charge, giving O-H-I-O tutorials to the freshmen in the crowd, coaching students through field goal and maneuverability challenges, and even busting out a new “swag dance.”

Lauren Burns, a member of the OSU dance team and a fourth-year in marketing, said during the event that hanging out with Brutus is always a good time because he keeps the spirit squad laughing during games.

“It’s definitely an honor that we get to be with him on his birthday,” she said. “What better way to celebrate than at the Buckeye Bash with all the incoming freshman — they get to celebrate the tradition and something that we hold so close to our heart.”

But Brutus, one of the most beloved mascots in college sports, wasn’t universally well-received when he first arrived in the fall of 1965.

One letter to the editor from George E. Shute, published in The Lantern on Nov. 30, 1965, read, “If I didn’t know better, I would say the contest to name the Buckeye mascot was held by the University of Michigan. Really, how in the world did a name like Brutus win the contest?”

At that point, OSU had gone 95 years without a mascot.

There was plenty of school spirit back in the Woody Hayes era, but with a devastating shutout loss to Michigan the year before and OSU’s next Rose Bowl still a few years away, the Buckeyes were in need of a little energy boost.

The seed was planted, and the quest for a mascot had begun.

Kerry Reed, a now-retired pastor, was a member of the Ohio Staters Inc., the student organization charged with developing the perfect mascot in 1965. Reed said the organization worked with the Athletic Department and others on the project.

The original papier-mâché Brutus was an immediate hit when he made his debut during the homecoming game against Minnesota.

A month later, he reemerged as a dark brown, 22-pound fiberglass shell during the game against Iowa.

A student would wear it over his entire body with shoulder harnesses. The next development added

three levers inside the shell to raise each eyebrow and spin the mouth upside down to a frown during a losing game.

When Reed, a 1966 graduate in sociology and social studies, heard the university was holding a campus-wide contest to name the new mascot, he said he hiked down to Thompson Library to start researching names.

Reed said he entered three names, including Brutus. The committee picked Reed’s submission, and he won a $50 gift certificate to the Union department store for his winning proposal.

“I liked the alliteration: Brutus Buckeye,” he said. “I also liked the thought that, at least in my mind, Brutus sounded like someone known for brute strength, for power, and would not easily back down.”

And Brutus has shown that strength through the years, proving himself resilient in the face of various adversaries.

He found himself running for his life after a vicious attack by a giant squirrel while performing his duties as the newly appointed senior OSU campus affairs correspondent for a Nov. 2, 2006, episode of the Daily Show.

He was attacked again in 2010 when Ohio University’s Rufus the Bobcat jumped on his back and began punching him in the head.

The student playing the bobcat later told the Associated Press he had been plotting against Brutus since before he even became OU’s mascot.

Even fellow Buckeyes have been a little rough on Brutus throughout the years. He was stolen several times by different student organizations, and the 1975 sneering, squinty Brutus didn’t even last a year after being booed by fans during a home game at the ‘Shoe. His head was promptly replaced back to a rounder, more nut-like head.

But Brutus survived.

He has also spent a lot of time being strong for others throughout his 50-year career as OSU’s mascot, bringing his spirit and energy on and off the field.

He regularly visits hospitals to cheer up patients, young and old, though this habit is somewhat newly formed as his head size has shrunk to allow entry through nar-

row hospital doorways.

Brutus’ role not only as an athletic icon but also as a student leader and goodwill ambassador is worthy of being highlighted, said Tracy Stuck, assistant vice president for Student Life.

Her office is helping plan a yearlong Brutus Birthday tour to varied athletic and community events, hospitals and food banks.

OSU will be hosting a gala event Nov. 8 at the Union, just before the football game against the University of Minnesota, the same team OSU played when Brutus made his game day debut.

The open event will continue the Brutus celebration with dinner, entertainment and special guests, including an expected 40 former Brutuses.

The evening will aim to raise money for an endowed scholarship for future Brutuses. The Ohio Staters aim to help raise $1.5 million for the Brutus program.

“For the students, it’s hard to hold a job. You see the Buckeye all over the place ... so we’re trying to recognize the leadership role that Brutus plays all over campus,” Stuck said.

Catie Sack, a third-year in journalism, and Nicole Schumacher, a fourth-year in marketing, serve as co-chairs of the newly formed Brutus committee. The two Student Life interns are working to help future Brutuses by spending time digging through The Lantern and university archives to learn more about his past.

“Brutus is an ambassador of the university, and he represents what Ohio State means to the state,” Sack said. “Being able to work on this project and share this project is so incredible in that we get to see how he makes people feel happy and brings joy to everyone.”

Reed said he and the other members of the Ohio Staters had hoped Brutus would ultimately be a positive expression and have a real effect on students.

“I’m glad that it’s not just limited to the athletics, but in fact shows up at charity events and things that can rally some support and interest for programs beyond athletics,” he said.

And, of course, Reed wished Brutus a happy birthday.

COLUMBUS’ OWN

‘SPUNK ROCK’ GROUP CHERRY CHROME REFLECTS YOUTHFUL ENERGY

COURTESY OF CARLEY BROWN

Columbus-based band Cherry Chrome.

HANNAH HERNER Lantern reporter Herner.12@osu.edu While Cherry Chrome has been a band for just over a year, lead singer and guitarist Xenia Bleveans-Holm has been working with drummer David Holm for her entire life. They are father and daughter, after all.

“Since Xenia was really little, we’ve done creative things together, be it playing music, doing art projects, making up funny stories. It feels very natural,” Holm said.

Bleveans-Holm and bassist Amina Adesiji, both 16, along with 18-yearold guitarist, Mick Martinez, and Holm, 48 years old, make up Cherry Chrome. The bond between mem-

bers is as good as family.

Bleveans-Holm, at age 9, and Holm came up with the name Cherry Chrome when discussing band names.

“I kind of always wanted a band with that name ... It’s spunky,” she said. The band describes themselves as “spunk rock.”

“I think it fits the kind of music that we play because we’ve got the girl power vibe going, but we also play with lots of distortion and stuff,” Martinez said.

In discussing formative music moments in their lives, both Martinez and Holm cited middle school talent shows as the time when they really got into performing.

Adesiji’s first inclination towards

music came when she dressed up as a “rock star” for Halloween at 8 years old. She knew she was serious about music in fifth grade when she played in a school performance.

When Cherry Chrome put out their first single, “Velvet,” in March, it was played on CD102.5’s The Five Spot the same day it was released. It continues to be a part of the rotation for the station.

Bleveans-Holm has written all of the songs, but getting the arrangements just right is a collaborative effort for the band.

“I like conveying a certain mood without outright saying it,” she said.

“I like lyrics where you can’t exactly figure out what they’re about.”

“But you can feel it,” Martinez fin-

ished.

Over the summer, the band jumped from booking shows around once a month to at least once a week. While they’ve gotten great support from the music community, Cherry Chrome has had its fair share of skeptics due to the fact that it is fronted by three young girls.

“We’ve had some different people who have definitely been condescending,” Bleveans-Holm said.

“I’ve gotten that outside of dealing with music. I feel like as a young girl, grown men like to be condescending towards you. It’s definitely something that gets me really fired up.”

But they agreed that their age has proven to be an asset as well.

“I think it helps us 99 percent of

the time. Sometimes we run into those people who don’t think we’ve got it in us, but that doesn’t hinder us.

It just makes us pissed off and makes us do better,” Martinez said.

Last fall, Cherry Chrome recorded 14 unreleased songs. Four of those songs are ready to release, but they need funds in order to make hard copies of the EP. They will be playing a fundraising show at Kafé Kerouac on Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. The suggested donation will be $5.

Redemption, not revenge, on Ohio State’s mind ahead of Virginia Tech RYAN COOPER Sports Editor cooper.487@osu.edu Ohio State might have won the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship in 2014, but the one thing the team cannot hang its hat on is a perfect season.

While the Buckeyes won 13 straight games to end the season, a 35-21 defeat at home to Virginia Tech on Sept. 6 put an early but permanent mark in their loss column.

Now, 366 days after the upset loss, OSU is set to have a chance to return the favor to the Hokies on their home field of Lane Stadium.

“Due to the fact that we did lose to them last year … that’s something that we can’t get back at them, because although we won it all last year, still in our loss column there was a ‘one’ in there, and they’re the ones that unfortunately gave it to us,” redshirt junior safety Tyvis Powell said. “So it’s just about going out there and making sure that doesn’t happen again.”

While members of the team said they vividly remember the 2014 matchup and have been studying tapes from that game for weeks, senior defensive lineman Tommy Schutt said the extra motivation the team feels is not completely revenge-based.

“I wouldn’t necessarily call it revenge, but it’s something that’s been in the back of our TECH FROM 8

get most of the carries early in the year. Coleman, who rushed for 533 yards and three touchdowns in 2014, became the starter after injuries to sophomores Marshawn Williams and Shai McKenzie.

Williams, who is still recovering from the anterior cruciate ligament injury he sustained last season against Duke, and McKenzie, who is suspended, won’t be available to play against OSU on Monday.

Redshirt junior Trey Edmunds, Tech’s leading rusher in 2013, will most likely be the back Hokie coach Frank Beamer uses to spell Coleman versus the Buckeyes.

The 2014 Hokie offense was far from prolific — ranking 96th in the nation. However, with all of its key players at the skill positions back for another season, the outlook for the unit is more promising.

Shut-down unit Tech’s defense — led by defensive coordinator Bud Foster, who is widely regarded as one of the country’s best — looks to be one of the Atlantic Coast Conference’s — if not the nation’s — top squads. Last year, they ranked 21st in total defense in the NCAA. Junior cornerback Kendall Fuller, an ESPN preseason All-America selection, will look to continue shutting down opposing team’s top receivers. Despite playing the majority of last year with a fractured

heads since that game,” he said.

“I think we definitely have a little extra chip on our shoulders knowing what happened last year, how we finished the season last year knowing they were the one team that was able to beat us, so we definitely have a little extra chip on our shoulder going into this one.”

OSU coach Urban Meyer echoed his players’ sentiments

and said Monday’s game is one the Buckeyes have been looking forward to for a long time.

“There is a little nudge around here because they beat us, and really the way they beat us,” he said. “Offensively right now there is a lot of distaste for the way that thing happened.”

In last year’s meeting between the schools, OSU was decimated by the talent of the Virginia Tech

defense. Then-redshirt freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett, making the second start of his collegiate career, completed just nine of 23 passes and was sacked seven times. He also threw three interceptions, including two by then-senior safety Kyshoen Jarrett and a late 63-yard pick-six by then-junior safety Donovan Riley.

Powell said a big reason for

Opposite Fuller at cornerback will be redshirt sophomore Brandon Facyson. He was sidelined for most of last season because of a broken leg, but he looks to regain the form he had in 2013 when he was a 247Sports first-team freshman All-American.

On the defensive line, the Hokies return four key cogs to a unit that has the potential to be great.

Each of the four starters was named to the watch list for the Nagurski Trophy, which is handed out annually to the nation’s top defensive player.

That group — highlighted by redshirt senior defensive end Dadi Lihomme Nicolas, a preseason All-ACC selection — will look to apply pressure on quarterbacks all year long. At the other end position, redshirt junior Ken Ekanem will continue to give offensive lineman fits. In 2014, he and Nicolas combined to record 33 tackles for a loss and 18.5 sacks.

On the interior, the Hokies have even more talent with redshirt senior defensive tackles Luther Maddy and Corey Marshall.

Maddy — who was hurt on Sept.

23 last year and missed the rest of the campaign — was third-team All-ACC in 2013. Additionally, he was selected alongside Nicolas to the preseason All-ACC team for

the upcoming year.

Marshall earned second-team AllACC in 2014, after recording 41 tackles, 9.5 of which were for a loss.

Even though the Buckeyes boast one of the top offensive lines in the country, expect the loaded Hokie front four to pose challenges for the “The Slobs” and the rest of the O-lines they face in 2015.

Last year, defensive dominance was the reason why Tech left the Horseshoe victorious. To pull the upset for a second straight season, its defense will have to wreak havoc again.

Biggest question mark The biggest question mark facing the Hokies in fall camp was who would start on the offensive line.

The unit lost three seniors to graduation, which opened up starting spots at center and right tackle.

Those spots seemed to be claimed at the end of spring practice by sophomore Eric Gallo and redshirt senior Wade Hansen, respectively.

The picture was slightly less clear until Monday morning when the depth chart was released.

With Hansen battling a foot injury, sophomore Parker Osterloh — a 6-foot-8 versatile lineman who can play every position on the line except center — had filled in nicely for him.

Hansen is still the starter, but the time he missed might have stunted the growth of the O-line’s chemis-

If they are able to take care of their business against a Buckeye front seven that is missing its best player ­— suspended defensive end Joey Bosa — things could get interesting try.

However, the performance of Osterloh and freshman Yosuah Nijman gives Beamer and his staff a little bit of comfort knowing that if the starting group struggles, he has two solid players to substitute.

The ability of the new lineman to step in and play at a high level will be crucial, as the overall success of the offense — especially the Hokie running game — hinders predominantly on the line’s performance.

If they are able to take care of their business against a Buckeye front seven that is missing its best player — suspended junior defensive end Joey Bosa — things could get interesting.

the Buckeyes being unprepared for Virginia Tech last year was their season opener the weekend before against Navy. The safety said the Midshipmen, a team known for running the triple option on nearly every play, forced the Buckeyes to spend their entire practice time preparing for that untraditional offense rather than a more typical one used by teams like Virginia Tech.

“Last year we spent a lot of time trying to master that triple option offense. It was really difficult to go from that then jump straight to a regular spread offense,” Powell said. “It’s good to finally just focus on one thing and that’s kind of what we’re going to see all year, instead of focus on one thing for one game that we’re never going to see again.”

Schutt added that with no Navy game ahead of Virginia Tech in 2015, he expects the team to be better adjusted and then some, when the extra motivation is factored in.

“For this game specifically, I think we put in more than we would for a normal game just because of what happened last year,” Schutt said. “We felt unprepared last year coming into that game, both offensively and defensively, and this year we’ve been working on this game plan all summer and are excited about next week.”

OSU’s rematch with Virginia Tech is scheduled for an 8 p.m. kickoff on Monday in Blacksburg, Virginia.

Final overview If the Hokies are going to have a chance at upsetting the Scarlet and Gray, their defense will have to be disruptive — like it was in 2014. If Tech’s loaded defensive line can get into the backfield and pressure whoever is playing quarterback for the Buckeyes, it could make the game interesting.

Fuller, the elite corner, will be assigned to mark OSU’s No. 1 receiver, Michael Thomas. Separation might be limited for Thomas, which will force an already-depleted receiving corp for the Buckeyes to step up and help out the quarterback.

On the other side of the ball, the offensive line will need to be in control of the line of scrimmage, which will create holes for Coleman to run through and time for Brewer to connect with his targets.

Beyond the Buckeyes The Hokies’ Monday tilt against the defending champs will be their biggest game all year.

Following the opener, they are slated to play three more non-conference games — all winnable matchups against Furman, Purdue and East Carolina — before starting their ACC schedule on Oct. 3 at home versus the University of Pittsburgh.

The only other preseason AP Top 25 opponent Tech is scheduled to play is at No. 16 Georgia Tech on Nov. 12.

PRINCE FROM 8

“I’m a junior now, so I think I have a lot more influence on the field, and I just want to make sure that everyone feels a part of the team,” she said. “Hopefully I can spread my knowledge to younger players.”

Prince said she started playing soccer when she was 4 years old.

“The first time I went, my parents were driving me, and I was begging for them to take me home,” she said, “But as soon as I got on the field I loved it and I’ve played ever since.”

As Prince’s career continued through childhood and into her

high school years, she then faced the decision of choosing where she would play her collegiate career.

“I could see myself living here for four years and growing up here.

It wasn’t all about soccer, it was a lot about the atmosphere,” Prince said about what drew her to OSU. Prince’s soccer career at OSU has seen its share of ups and downs.

As a freshman, Prince saw action in all 20 games, being named second team All-Big Ten as well as earning a spot on the Big Ten All-Freshman team. She collected three Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors, as well as ranking fifth in the conference for goals and points.

She was unable to duplicate that level of success as a sophomore.

Prince started only 10 matches due to a leg injury that kept her out of the season’s first nine contests.

Prince’s teammates are glad to have her back on the pitch.

“Having Nichelle back and fully healthy gives our team a lot of confidence. It’s awesome being able to play up top with her again,” junior forward Lindsay Agnew said.

those at OSU are less abundant.

“Being able to recruit at a university that’s first-class, and recruiting to a golf program and an athletic department that’s just amazing; it’s just a great opportunity. I think we can go after any player in the country,” Moseley said. “I wasn’t able to do that at Kennesaw State.”

OSU can certainly go after any player they want, including freshman Will Grimmer, who competed in the 2014 U.S. Open at the age of 17.

“Will Grimmer has come in with one of the best resumes of anybody in the country, and he, certainly, will be a big contributor for us this year,” Moseley said.

“I’m excited about the team we have.”

Where there is talent, there are expectations; and for the Buckeyes they are hefty.

Moseley is taking over for former coach Donnie Darr, who resigned June 9, citing unhappiness.

During his six-season tenure, Darr guided the Buckeyes to six tournament titles and four NCAA regional qualifications.

The Buckeyes qualified for the 2011 NCAA Championship under Darr, as well.

“It kind of came out of nowhere for me,” senior Tee-k Kelly said about Darr’s resignation. “He recruited me here. He coached me my first three years and I was a little surprised by that.”

Although Kelly and his teammates are adjusting to a new coach, they said they feel optimistic about the program and where it is going under Moseley’s leadership.

“Honestly, his potential is limitless with this program,” Kelly said. “You saw the things he did at Kennesaw State; it’s really impressive what he did there. He can really take this program to the special places it was, like back in the day.”

Nichelle Prince leading the way Forward is carrying the team toward a successful season GABRIELLA DIGIOVANNI Lantern Reporter digiovanni.6@osu.edu Junior forward Nichelle Prince has already made a splash for the No. 17 Ohio State women’s soccer team (3-0-1) in its four opening matches, scoring two goals.

The Ajax, Ontario, native’s junior year is off to an exciting start as she was just named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week after her overtime game-winning goal against then-No. 8 Florida on Aug. 23.

The forward said she approached the honor humbly and with confidence moving forward.

“It’s obviously a big honor to be able to be named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week and have those titles, but I think it is a lot about how I can contribute to my team and how I can get better every week,” she said.

SCOUTING TECH A look at the 2015 Hokies KEVIN STANKIEWICZ Assistant Sports Editor stankiewicz.16@osu.edu Ohio State’s quest to repeat as national champions is set to begin on Monday against the only team that beat them last year: Virginia Tech. Here is an in-depth look at what the 2015 Hokies bring to the table.

Offensive weapons returning The Hokies have 16 starters from last season returning — eight on both offense and defense. They also have their punter and kicker back.

Every offensive player who scored a point for Tech in 2014 is returning for the upcoming year.

Their quarterback — redshirt senior Michael Brewer — is back for his final year. Brewer’s top two targets, sophomore wide receiver Isaiah Ford and redshirt sophomore tight end Bucky Hodges, will both suit back up for Tech in 2015.

Ford led the squad in receiving in 2014 with 709 yards. He tied with Hodges for the team lead in touchdown receptions with six.

The 6-foot-7 Hodges uses his size to create mismatches for smaller defenders. In addition to the six touchdown catches, he was second on the team in receiving yards with 526.

In the backfield, senior J.C. Coleman, a 5-foot-6 speedster, will TECH CONTINUES ON 6

That’s the word that’s loosely thrown around Ohio State’s Jane and Walt Dennis Golf Performance Center.

Roughly two months after being named the men’s golf coach, Jay Moseley is excited about the heights to which he can potentially take the program — something he’s well equipped to do.

Over the past six years at Kennesaw State University, Moseley led the Owls to five consecutive NCAA regional appearances, including two trips to the NCAA championship.

Impressively, he achieved this at a smaller school that has only been a Division I program since 2005, and whose resources compared to
