SAM RAUDINS Social Media Editor raudins.3@osu.edu Crowdfunding might not have brought dinosaurs back from extinction but it did bring a cryolophosaurus to Orton Geological Museum. The cryolophosaurus was originally discovered in Antarctica by Ohio State professor emeritus Dr. David Elliot in 1991. After fundraising that began in March 2017 brought in the necessary $80,000, the fossil was cast and is now located in the Orton Hall entryway as part of the Orton Geological Museum. The official unveiling of the dinosaur is set for Oct. 7. “For all intents and purposes, it’s the most reasonably complete dinosaur found in Antarctica, so it’s kind of a special dinosaur,” said Dr. William Ausich, professor emeritus of earth sciences and director of Orton Geological Museum. The project was created with the intention of “kickstarting” renovations to the Geological Museum, said Dale Gnidovec, museum curator. Ausich also said it would bring more visibility to the institution that provides STEM outreach services to communities and schools. “Some of these exhibits have been here since 1980, and they need to be revised. We just haven’t had the funding or resources to do that,” Gnidovec said. With the addition of the cryolophosaurus, which was made possible from a wide variety of donations, the department hopes to “increase interest in the earth sciences” at the university, Ausich said. He added that, with contributions from preschool children to major donors, the $80,000 goal was met within six weeks. “We even had children dressed in dinosaur suits selling cookies on the Oval,” Ausich said. “It was just an incredible outpouring of support.” The funds went directly to the creation of the cryolophosaurus display.

ternational was commissioned to create the cast, using liquid latex to form plastic molds that replicate approximately 250 bones, Gnidovec said. RCI told Gnidovec that the project will be
constructed on-site in one day. The skeleton cast, held by a metal framework, is approximately 24 feet long and stands on a raised base that includes graphics. “It’s going to be mounted in the lobby, looking hungrily down at kids as they come in the door,” Gnidovec said. The original fossils are housed at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. The discovery of the cryolophosaurus was significant, Gnidovec said, as it was one of the earliest large carnivores and the only fossil of its kind. “It’s the best-known Antarctic dinosaur known. It’s the earliest of the large carnivores known,” Gnidovec said. Ausich said the museum has a great impact on the local community, and Gnidovec said he speaks
to about 5,000 visitors and community members per year about scientific topics, including dinosaurs. “We call dinosaurs the ‘gateway drug’ to science,” Gnidovec said. “It’s a lot of kids’ first exposure to real science.”

The temptation to cheat is as old as the idea of administering exams and writing essays. As technology continues to evolve, cheating has become easier through the use of group chat apps like GroupMe and websites like Course Hero that let students share course materials. As a result, more Ohio State students are giving in to the temptation. A Lantern review of annual reports and statistics compiled by Ohio State’s Committee on Academic Misconduct reveals a large spike in the number of reported cases of cheating over the past four school years. Interviews with university officials and a report the committee shared with the Ohio State Board of Trustees identify technology as a major factor that helps students cheat — and also helps them get caught. “In the past five years the level of complexity, sophistication and volume of academic misconduct cases has trended upward,” the report said. “In some cases, this trend aligns with the increased use of technology inside and outside of the classroom.” The university has seen a 57 percent increase in academic misconduct cases from 553 cases in the 2014-15 academic year to 906 cases last school year, records show. Academic misconduct is defined by COAM on its website as a failure to follow the rules and guidelines outlined in the Student Code of Conduct. Cases rose 31 percent in the past two academic years, from 2016-17 to 2017-18. The increase in misconduct cases was driven by jumps in the chemistry, computer and science engineering departments, as well as the Department of Marketing and Logistics in the Fisher College of Business. While consistently at the top of COAM’s reports, chemistry classes saw an increase last school year to 272 cases from 145 MISCONDUCT CONTINUES ON 2

Banners on campus to raise sexual violence awareness MAEVE WALSH Lantern reporter walsh.607@osu.edu Advocates for Women of the World, an undergraduate student organization at Ohio State, revived its “Banner Up” campaign this summer to raise awareness for sexual violence by displaying messages on off-campus housing. The banners featured messages such as “End rape culture” and “It’s a dress, not a yes” and were distributed to more than 30 fraternities and sororities. Indeep Janda, president of AWOW, said she is eager to carry on the organization’s tradition that was inspired by a similar project at Indiana University.
“[The campaign serves] just as a general movement to push for a more inclusive, more positively-cultured environment where everyone feels safe.” INDEEP JANDA President, Advocates for Women of the World
Janda, a fourth-year in biology and French, said AWOW’s mission is to move away from a series of negative messages that contributed to rape culture previously displayed on off-campus housing and were adverse to the message that the university hopes to promote. “[The campaign serves] just as a general movement to push for a more inclusive, more positively cultured environment where everyone feels safe,” Janda said. According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, 1 in 5 women and 1 in 16 men are sexually assaulted in college. It is often a subject that is difficult to have conversations about. Janda believes that the “Banner Up” campaign changes the perception of silence that surrounds sexual violence. “A lot of survivors have reached out and said ‘Thank you so much for doing this,’” Janda said. “We have a few other banners that support survivors specifically, and I think

that when they see that, they feel safer, and they feel more included.” The Delta Sigma Phi fraternity at Ohio State is one of several organizations that agreed to hang a banner in support of AWOW’s campaign. Vinnie Pancini, a member of Delta Sigma Phi and thirdyear in public policy analysis, said he was driven by his fraternity’s motto, “Better men, better lives,” to set an example for other fraternities and the university at large by bringing attention to the issue of sexual violence.
“We want everyone to know that when they’re in Delta Sig’s company, they’re in good hands and that we’ll take care of them,” Pancini said. “Despite those statistics and those awful stories, there are good people out there who care about them and want them to have a fun and successful college career.” Janda said AWOW plans to continue the “Banner Up” campaign for years to come to cultivate a safer and more welcoming environment for all Ohio State students.

in 2016-17. The Department of Computer Science and Engineering maintained its place as the second-biggest contributor to misconduct cases, and saw a significant rise in the number of cases from 46 cases in 2016-17 to 89 cases in 2017-18.
“I think that a lot of students previously were probably, perhaps using other people’s work but it was just not caught, but now we can look at what is happening across sections, across different instructors, even if they’re doing the same lab report.” TERRY GUSTAFSON Vice chair for undergraduate studies
The department did not respond to a request for comment from The Lantern. The third-largest contributor to 2017-18 cases, the Department of Marketing and Logistics in Fisher, had 85 cases after not appearing on the 2016-17 report at all. Terry Gustafson, vice chair for undergraduate studies in the department of chemistry and biochemistry, said technology accounted for the jump in misconduct cases, but also helped professors catch attempts at cheating.
Gustafson said the department implemented the use of Turnitin last year — a website that checks the originality of assignments students submit for grading — for all lab reports in general chemistry classes. “I think that a lot of students previously were probably, perhaps using other people’s work but it was just not caught, but now we can look at what is happening across sections, across different instructors, even if they’re doing the same lab report,” Gustafson said. Gustafson said the department saw a similar trend with organic chemistry classes two years ago, but those numbers fell after the initial spike, and he hopes the same will happen with the first-year general chemistry classes. Gustafson said the chemistry department sees most cases of academic misconduct in lower-level courses, which is a trend reflected across all departments on campus. According to COAM’s 2017-18 report, 44.2 percent of all misconduct cases happen in 1000 level courses and only 5.2 percent of all cases happen in 4000 level courses. Gustafson said that, ultimately, COAM’s goal is not to be a punisher, but to put students back on the right track. “I think if you look at COAM’s overall purpose, part of this is just to make sure students get educated,” Gustafson said. “Honestly, the sanctions are really intended to help educate the student, provide enough of a pain GRAPHIC CHART BY JACK WESTERHEIDE | MANAGING EDITOR FOR DESIGN that they’re less likely to do this again and Source: Ohio State Committee on Academic Misconduct by doing it in their first year we hope that it MISCONDUCT CONTINUES ON 3

obviates them having more serious cases later on.” Susan Olesik, chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, said one reason for most cases occurring in lower-level classes is because some intelligent students who come to Ohio State might have been able to get by in high school without much studying. “Ohio State has the great privilege of having students who have strong intellect these days, and so it is not uncommon for students with that strong intellect to not necessarily have great study skills,” Olesik said. The department has sought to combat that problem by requiring instructors of first-semester classes to include a lecture about metacognition — examining your
found to be in violation of the honor code and given zeros on the assignment. Steps taken by the veterinary college following this case were presented in the report and included a strengthened honor code, five specific exam and grading types, and emphasis on in-class grades to avoid unsanctioned collaboration combined with increased use of proctors. The report also clarified standards on collaboration for out-of-class assignments and “required that all syllabi include a description of the grading types and specific statements on academic integrity and misconduct.” In the business class, 83 students were found to have collaborated on an assignment in violation of the honor code. Of those students, 14 were suspended and 66 were put on probation. The Lantern reported last year on the use of GroupMe by 83 business school students that led to a misconduct case. In its report to the Board, COAM presented the steps the veterinary college took in response to the incident as building blocks to a campus-wide strategy. “Using the model developed by the College of Veterinary Medicine, several colleges and departments are in the process of inventorying and examining grading assignments within certain courses to assess academic misconduct risks and develop approaches and tools for instructors and students with which to mitigate them,” the report said.

Iraq veteran treats his PTSD through art TRISTAN RELET-WERKMEISTER Lantern reporter relet-werkmeister.1@osu.edu A former soldier recovering from post-traumatic stress disorder currently has his artistic work on display at the Fresh A.I.R. Gallery — which stands for Artists in Recovery. Shawn Augustson joined the U.S. Army following the 9/11 attacks and fought for 18 months in the Iraq War. When he returned in 2006, he was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety and major depressive disorder. “His work is powerful and compelling. I feel empathy,” said Fresh A.I.R Gallery manager Lauren Pond. Despite having no formal art education, the recovering former soldier turned to painting and photography to help him heal.

Next to his nature landscape paintings, Augustson hangs the same camouflage jacket of his former uniform in the gallery. Even though it was
unintentional, the artist agrees that this could suggest he is always seeing his environment through the lens of his traumatic experience. “Right now, I’m trying to get ‘me’ back in me,” Augustson said.
Augustson said he is trying to be more subtle with his patterns as he grows by using fewer strong shapes. This is prevalent in the most recent painting in his series, “Camouflage Landscapes,” that has less distinguishable camouflage
patterns. “For a long time, I isolated [myself] in the house where it was safe,” Augustson said. “For ‘Tall Pines,’ I painted it in the park, live. Being out in nature and on location brings out a lot of good feelings.” The painter abstractly portrayed himself in “PostTraumatic Expression,” using only gray, black and a bit of red. The last color represents the life that was left inside him, and also can be perceived as the wounds he still suffers. “It’s the first time I was able to express things that were inside me onto the canvas; it was a starting point for me,” Augustson said about the painting “A War Within.” Augustson painted another series, which, at first sight, seems disconnected from the rest of his work. It consists of four paintings, each depicting a pair of ballet slippers — a poetic and soulful metaphor. “They look beautiful when you look at them, but people VETERAN CONTINUES ON 5
Crazy big impact: Ohio State students talk APIDA media representation MICHAEL LEE Engagement Editor lee.7240@osu.edu On its opening weekend, “Crazy Rich Asians” was the No. 1 movie in the domestic box office, earning $26.5 million. Of all Warner Bros. Entertainment movies in 2018, it has so far earned a domestic total of $150 million, making it the studio’s top movie this year over expected blockbusters “Ocean’s 8” and “The Meg.” While the film has acquired significant numbers and acclaim, the weight of the success of a film with an all-Asian cast in Hollywood has a larger importance for Ohio State students in the university’s Asian Pacific Islander Desi American community. Growing up without representation As a kid growing up in the early 2000s, Ridhwan Sediqe didn’t see much Asian representation in the media. Sediqe, president of the Asian American Association at Ohio State, said there were only bits and pieces of APIDA representation in shows like “American Dragon: Jake Long” or YouTube channels such as Wong Fu Productions and Nigahiga. Even so, Sediqe, a fourth-year in political science, said he still felt much of the representation focused a lot on the East Asian community and did not relate as well.
“My family’s from Afghanistan originally, so I guess being from Afghanistan, you don’t see a lot about that in the media besides, you know, reports about issues within Afghanistan itself,” Sediqe said. “So, you know, seeing more representation for South and Central-Asian communities — from India, Pakistan and such as well — is something that we haven’t seen as positively or frequently in recent years.” For Elizabeth Dang, the external vice president of the Vietnamese Student Association at Ohio State, she also recalled bits and pieces of APIDA media representation in movies and shows such as “Mulan,” “Codename: Kids Next Door” and “Lilo and Stitch.” “It was a different dynamic because sometimes we were not the best portrayed, like in ‘The Simpsons,’ … or we’ll be portrayed in such a manner that we have to deal with settling with it,” Dang, a third-year in public management, leadership and policy, said. “So it’s like, how do I look up to someone that looks like me but also they’re not being portrayed like me?” Crazy significant impact: A step in the right direction Despite the lack of variety of APIDA representation growing up, Sediqe said he’s glad movies like “Crazy Rich Asians” and other films with main Asian characters — such as John Cho in “Searching” and Lana Condor in “To All the Boys I Loved Before”

His theory behind why these films have been more common within the past couple of years: It’s a reflection of today’s society, with people becoming more socially aware of today’s issues like the repercussions of the 2016 presidential election and instances of police brutality. “People are starting to understand that social inequalities are still very much a part of the American experience, an unfortunate part, and I think
that’s definitely emboldened our communities to speak out on that a little bit more,” Sediqe said. “That’s kind of pushed Hollywood and different companies like Nike, for example, to see social justice and representation as profitable markets to tap into.” Sediqe has heard split feelings from the APIDA community about “Crazy Rich Asians,” ranging from those who were excited about what the film would do for the community to those who had concerns about the film’s
diversity. Even so, he said he feels those who were concerned still enjoyed the movie. “It’s not a perfect film. It has its deficiencies,” Sediqe said. “It has some problematic elements in parts of it. But I think holistically if you take what the film was able to do and walk away with that, you understand that it’s a step in the right direction.” And Dang said she agrees, despite the movie perpetuating some stereotypes like the “model minority myth” — where Asians REPRESENTATION CONTINUES ON 5

Dr. Nadine George-Graves is an international scholar whose work has been recognized around the world. SAMANTHA WILSON Lantern reporter wilson.3225@osu.edu There is a new face teaching courses in the theatre and dance departments this semester. Dr. Nadine George-Graves has been hired as a professor with a joint appointment in both dance and theater. She joins Ohio State University from her previous appointment at University of California, San Diego. George-Graves is an international scholar whose work has been recognized around the world. In her 20 years of experience, she has written two books about theater, dance and performance and edited the Oxford Handbook of Dance and Theater. She also served a term as president of the Congress on Research in Dance — an international nonprofit focused on the performing arts and artists. “This is a major hire of an internationally important scholar, said Susan Hadley, director of Ohio State’s Department of Dance. “I think another important thing about Dr. George-Graves is that she’s a very interdisciplinary scholar.” George-Graves’ work focuses on the ways performance is not limited to one genre or category. This includes where dance and theater meet, where gender and race meet, and where politics and the arts meet.
“I’ve never fit neatly into one category, even though my degree is in theater,” George-Graves said. “Some of the most exciting work happens from people who don’t fit into nice, neat categories, who create new genres of performance.” Her work is not only in the scholarly and theoretical side of dance and theater, but also in performance. George-Graves herself is a dancer and performer and has written and performed in several shows. She was drawn to Ohio State by the prestige of the university’s dance and theater programs and the opportunities she could find for further teaching and research. George-Graves said she wants to bring more students into the arts and views performance as a space where everyone can find a voice. “I’m always inspired by my students and the same [is true] here,” GeorgeGraves said. “That’s why I do it, because students are so great.” George-Graves will be teaching a dance course called “The Body in Performance” this spring. She also is directing a performance called “Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been…” that will show Oct. 22. “It seems as though OSU is a place of possibility for artists, for us to find the best avenue for creating the kind of work that we want to make,” GeorgeGraves said.

who do ballet suffer a lot of pain,” Augustson said. His works are exhibited at Fresh A.I.R., a gallery that has been committed to displaying the works of artists suffering from substance abuse disorders or mental illness since 2004. Its mission is to reduce the public’s stigma surrounding these diseases through art. Augustson heard about the gallery from a friend and reached out to
Pond, to whom he sent art samples. Pieces of art, including one of Augustson’s paintings, will be auctioned off on Nov. 9 at the Art of Recovery fundraiser at the Columbus Museum of Art. The sales will benefit the Fresh A.I.R. Gallery. “Post-Traumatic Expression” is on display until Nov. 9 at the Fresh A.I.R. gallery, located at 131 North High St. Admission is free.
release of “Crazy Rich Asians” will help society dive more into separating data on the groups within the APIDA community in order to beat the “model minority myth” that causes the community to be seen as one homogenous group. “So if we’re able to get more accurate portrayals of different ethnic groups and different groups within the APIDA community, that can also help start the conversation with the data disaggregation and helping us seek out and allocate resources to the communities that need it,” Dang said. Sediqe said he sees Hollywood learning from “Crazy Rich Asians” and wants to see
MICHAEL LEE | ENGAGEMENT EDITOR
Sediqe hopes to see APIDA people in prominent roles because of “Crazy Rich Asians.” it begin to make more films focusing on other APIDA groups, such as Southeast, South and Central Asians, and casting more APIDA actors and actresses in prominent roles. “My hope is that in the next couple of years, we’ll see more films not just focusing exclusively on the Asian or Asian-American experience, but taking Asian and AsianAmerican actors and putting them in ordinary roles like in superhero films and such,” Sediqe said. “I want to see a black Superman, I want to see an Indian Captain Marvel.” As for Dang, she wants the APIDA community to keep proving people wrong about what they are capable of, because she feels it’s better for the community in the long run. “Think of our younger siblings and the younger generations that needed that representation and stuff, like what we needed as kids,” Dang said. “Be that person you needed as a kid.” STORY CONTINUES ONLINE

BOSA FROM 8
2018 season, another player that thrives in defensive line coach Larry Johnson’s acclaimed rotation, Cooper has not found the statistical production that was expected of him. He has only five tackles in the first three games, including one sack. However, in the opinion of defensive coordinator Greg Schiano, the production will improve with more playing time.
“Nick Bosa is Nick Bosa. He’s always going to be Nick Bosa.” JONATHON COOPER Junior defensive end
“The production, maybe not so big, but he’s really played and done his job well,” Schiano said. “I think with more opportunities that’ll lead to more production.” Schiano also said sophomore defensive end Chase Young, who has recorded two sacks and one pass break-up this season, will have a more prominent role on the line against the Green Wave. The absence of Bosa might open the door for younger players to take some in-game snaps, including freshman Tyreke Smith, who Jones said will likely be a part of Ohio State’s nickel package on Saturday along with him, Young and Cooper. Jones said Smith brings a consistent motor as a freshman defensive end and had a consistent drive to succeed. But, as with any freshman, the redshirt junior defensive tackle said he does
“normal freshman things,” saying he has to be smarter as his college career continues. However, Jones said Smith’s improvement will continue over time. “He’ll learn as the games go on,” Jones said. “The whole point of the season is growing.” Smith is part of a defensive line where, in Hamilton’s opinion, he would not be here if he was not talented. But the expectation for the group stays the same without the defensive end many consider as the best player in college football. Even without Bosa, Cooper thinks there is a reputation to uphold. “We watch defensive lines across the nation, see how they’re doing and stuff, we see how, like, their pass rushing, their stopping the run and stuff like that and we try to raise our game, just to show that we are the best,” Cooper said. “We’re confident in ourselves that we are the best.” Players like Young, Cooper, Jones and Smith are going to try and combine to match the production that Bosa brings every Saturday. That does not mean the expectation is for one of them to step up and become a replication of what the preseason All-American has done this year. “Nick Bosa is Nick Bosa,” Cooper said. “He’s always going to be Nick Bosa.”

Ohio State women’s basketball sets recruiting tone Klein said the brand of Ohio State brings power, something that can help players both on and off the court and is instilled in them when they are recruited. That is what prompted freshman forward and Hungary native Dorka Juhasz’s decision to commit to Ohio State over schools such as Louisville and Kentucky. “I can get a really good degree,”Juhasz said. “I planned my life like what it’ll be after my basketball career. I think both education and basketball were the best here.” Juhasz could be an impactful player for the Buckeyes
“From Barcelona to Budapest, we’re hearing O-H-I-O because of what we’re wearing on our chest.” PATRICK KLEIN Ohio State women’s basketball associate head coach

The Ohio State women’s basketball team celebrates its Big Ten championship win. It defeated Maryland 79-69 on March 4 in Indianapolis. DANIEL MCNATT Lantern reporter mcnatt.3@osu.edu Losing all but four players, including three-time Big Ten Player of the Year Kelsey Mitchell, Ohio State has a long way to go to rebuild its team to a title contender. That rebuilding process starts with effective recruiting. The alluring draw of Ohio State’s program stays on the mind of women’s basketball associate head coach Patrick Klein, especially when recruiting future Buckeyes. One of Klein’s focuses when he is on the road recruiting high school players is making sure the coaching staff gets PREVIEW FROM 8
rushes, scoring three touchdowns on his own. Redshirt junior defensive tackle Dre’Mont Jones said the focus for Ohio State will remain on slowing down the run. “No matter the team, the focus never changes,” Jones said. “Our goal is to stop the run, eliminate big plays and create takeaways always.” The Green Wave has shined in the secondary, tied for No. 7 in the nation with six interceptions this season. “I feel like they’ve got aggressive defensive backs,” redshirt junior wide receiver K.J. Hill said. “We expect a very aggressive game.” Prediction If Tulane were to pull off the upset of a lifetime — Ohio State is a 37.5-point favorite according to Bovada — it needs Banks to go to Mooney and Encalade early and often to disrupt the Buckeyes’ weakest spot of the team at this point: the secondary. Dauphine and Bradwell could make a sizable impact and a big run, something Ohio State has struggled with, which could open up the passing game even more. Haskins has proved he can do anything but crack under the pressure up to this point, but Tulane’s secondary could make plays to get him off his game. In a perfect world, the Green
to know players and their families. His main goal, though, is emphasizing the importance of Ohio State, not only as a basketball program, but as a place players can make connections for their futures, he said. Head coach Kevin McGuff, along with Klein, showed how this strategy can work this summer. Kierstan Bell, the No. 6 player and the No. 2 point guard in the 2019 recruiting class, according to ESPN, chose to commit to Ohio State in August. A Canton, Ohio, native, Bell was named Gatorade Player of the Year last season and is a three-time Associated Press first-team All-Ohio athlete playing for McKinley High School.
Wave has a few opportunities to make a dent. But, Ohio State is far too deep and, even without redshirt junior defensive end Nick Bosa, its defensive front should look to dominate Tulane’s lackluster offensive line. Running backs Mike Weber and J.K. Dobbins, respectively, each could have big days against a defense that has failed to cover the run well, and Haskins’ performance against TCU proved his
this year, after playing professionally in Hungary for three years prior to committing to Ohio State. Juhasz was ranked the No. 12 international prospect in the 2018 class and a No. 5 forward in the class, according to Prospects Nation. Klein knows just how strong Ohio State’s brand can be, even overseas in Europe. “From Barcelona to Budapest, we’re hearing O-H-I-O because of what we’re wearing on our chest,” Klein said. That appeal can reach thousands of miles away, and also works in-state. Ashanti Abshaw, a transfer from Cleveland State who was a three-time All-Horizon League member and was the third fastest in school history to 1,000 career points, joined the Buckeyes for her final year of eligibility. Abshaw said being from Ohio makes playing for the Buckeyes that much more special, and getting the opportunity to play in front of her family means that much more. “It means a lot,” Abshaw said. “I’ve always been a family person, so being able to represent Ohio is just so big because I have so much support just from being from Cleveland Heights.”
ability to stay composed under pressure. Tulane offers more weapons and talent than both Oregon State and Rutgers, but Ohio State still dominates the Green Wave on paper, and adding Meyer’s return to the mix, the Buckeyes should easily handle anything Tulane has to offer.

No. 4 OSU faces Tulane in Urban Meyer’s return WYATT CROSHER Assistant Sports Editor crosher.1@osu.edu In head coach Urban Meyer’s first game back on the sideline, Ohio State returns home for a matchup against the Tulane Green Wave. The Buckeyes come in after their 4028 victory over then-No. 15 TCU, led by two defensive touchdowns and a 344-yard effort by redshirt sophomore quarterback Dwayne Haskins. The Green Wave holds a 1-2 record in 2018 and is coming off a 31-24 loss to UAB. Tulane’s sole victory comes against FCS opponent Nicholls State, who lost 4217. When redshirt senior offensive tackle Malcolm Pridgeon was asked about Tulane, he compared the Green Wave to a certain team the Buckeyes have already faced.
“They’re kind of like Rutgers. They’re a talented team.” MALCOLM PRIDGEON Redshirt senior offensive tackle
“They’re kind of like Rutgers,” Pridgeon said. “They’re a talented team.” Tulane enters the matchup with an offense ranked No. 71 and a defense ranked No.109 in the nation in yards per game. In the running game, the Green Wave’s offense ranks No. 52 with 199.3 yards per game, while allowing the 25th-most. Senior quarterback Jonathan Banks

Ohio State won 40-28. leads the Tulane offense, completing 48.1 percent of his passes for 651 yards and five touchdowns, with one interception. Banks has also run 33 times, but for only 29 yards and a touchdown. Most of those lost yards are from sacks, with the Green Wave having allowed 12 this season. The four per game is tied for third-worst in the NCAA. Ohio State junior safety Jordan Fuller
said he expects Banks to bring a style of offense similar to TCU sophomore quarterback Shawn Robinson. “He could do it all,” Fuller said. “He’s definitely a threat with his feet, so, he has a strong arm as well.” Wide receivers Darnell Mooney and Terren Encalade are two major threats for Banks to use. The two have combined for 29 of Banks’ 37 completions, including
all five of his touchdowns. Mooney’s 308 yards are good for No. 19 in the nation. In the run game, redshirt junior Corey Dauphine and junior Darius Bradwell offer Tulane two strong options at running back. Bradwell has been used more consistently, with 39 carries for 207 yards and a touchdown. But Dauphine has been dominant in 2018, averaging 12.4 yards per carry on 19 PREVIEW CONTINUES ON 7

Ohio State redshirt junior defensive lineman Dre’mont Jones (86) celebrates after scoring a touchdown off an interception in the third quarter of the game against TCU on Sept. 15. Ohio State won 40-28.
TCU seemed to view Ohio State junior Nick Bosa as the life and breath of the Ohio State defensive line. Recording five tackles against the Horned Frogs, including a strip sack recovered by redshirt junior defensive tackle Davon Hamilton in the end zone for a defensive touchdown, Bosa left the game in the third quarter with what acting head coach Ryan Day called a groin and abdominal injury. He did not return to the game. In Bosa’s absence, redshirt junior Dre’Mont Jones said the Horned Frogs’ offensive front began to talk. “They were just standing on the field like, ‘They are going to quit, it’s over now,’” Jones said. “We knew the truth. We are not afraid of a challenge.” Jones said the defensive line just brushed the comments off and played like the unit knows how to play: with confidence. In the second half, the Buckeyes allowed three yards per rush after allowing 7.8 yards per rush in the first half, and scored the unit’s second touchdown of the day, a 28-yard interception by Jones on a shovel pass from TCU sophomore quarterback Shawn Robinson. Bosa will be sidelined again when Ohio
State takes on Tulane on Saturday. But that doesn’t mean the Ohio State defensive line will lose that swagger, that confidence it showed in the second half against the Horned Frogs.
“They were just standing on the field like, ‘They are going to quit, it’s over now.’ We knew the truth. We are not afraid of a challenge.” DRE’MONT JONES Redshirt junior defensive tackle
“Really, it’s our motto every day. Competitive excellence, so the next man has to step up,” Hamilton said. “We love to have Nick, obviously, because he really is that good, but reality is, we have to step up. Someone has to step up.” Junior Jonathon Cooper said he’s the one who’s going to step up. With high expectations coming into the BOSA CONTINUES ON 6
