BEHIND THE BILLBOARD

Ohio State announces Mysterious group seeks accountability from university new vice president for Student Life

CASEY CASCALDO | MANAGING EDITOR OF MULTIMEDIA

A new billboard has been put up by The Ohio State Accountability Project on Lane Avenue to raise awareness for survivors of Richard Strauss’ abuse.

KAYLEE HARTER Editor-in-Chief harter.830@osu.edu “Ohio State protected a monster.”

That’s one of the messages being spread by a new group that says its goal is to bring justice for victims of former university physician Richard Strauss and hold Ohio State accountable.

The Ohio State Accountabili-

ty Project launched its campaign earlier this month, including radio and social media ads, billboards, a petition and survey. Exactly who is behind it remains a mystery — even to survivors of Strauss’ abuse.

An independent investigation conducted by Perkins Coie, LLP, released in May, found that Ohio State failed to stop Strauss from abusing at least 177 students during his career, and a press re-

lease accompanying this year’s annual crime report shows that Strauss was responsible for nearly 1,500 instances of sexual assault, including instances of rape and fondling. Strauss died by suicide in 2005.

There have been at least 10 lawsuits filed against Ohio State in relation to Strauss, including three this month.

Ian Prior, the group’s spokesperson, said The Ohio State Ac-

countability Project’s ultimate goal is to make sure something like this never happens again.

“I think the more people that have that awareness and that are educated on it will put enough pressure to put in place the right protocols, the right procedures,” he said.

University spokesperson Ben Johnson said in an email that Ohio State has led the efforts to investigate Strauss and is committed to a fair resolution.

“Ohio State has implemented multiple additional safeguards in the 20 years since Strauss left the university and is committed to appropriately addressing Strauss’ abuse from decades ago,” he said.

“Richard Strauss’ actions are reprehensible, and we remain deeply concerned for all those who have been affected by Strauss.”

Brian Garrett, former Ohio State wrestler, survivor and lead plaintiff in one of the Strauss-related suits, said he doesn’t know BILLBOARD CONTINUES ON 3

USG calls on university to support Strauss bill SAM RAUDINS Campus Editor raudins.3@osu.edu OWEN CONN Lantern reporter conn.131@osu.edu A resolution — backed by abuse survivors of former university physician Richard Strauss — asking Ohio State to support a bill in the state legislature that would allow survivors of Strauss to sue the university was passed with unanimous consent by the Undergraduate Student Government Wednesday night.

House Bill 249, proposed by State Rep. Brett Hillyer, is intended to allow survivors an opportunity for compensation by lifting the statute of limitations, the time limit for filing lawsuits, specifically for Strauss victims. The current statute of limitations in this case is two years, according to the Ohio Legislative Service Commission’s analysis of the bill.

USG’s General Assembly voiced its support with unanimous passage of resolution 52R-13, “A Resolution to Express Support for the Passage of Ohio H.B. 249,” including an alumni statement signed by 13 survivors in support of the resolution.

Melissa Shivers is named the next Ohio State vice president for Student Life on Oct. 23.

LYDIA WEYRICH Assistant Campus Editor weyrich.4@osu.edu Student success, community engagement and Buckeye pride are all sentiments the new Student Life vice president hopes to promote.

The Office of Student Life at Ohio State has found a new vice president in Melissa Shivers, who will assume her post Jan. 6, pending Board of Trustees approval announced Wednesday, according to an Ohio State press release. Shivers, who comes from a similar role at the University of Iowa, said her goals upon arrival are to support student life and its engagement within the student body, as she continues to learn about the departments within the office.

“A big part of my job and responsibility will be to be a really good listener.”

OWEN CONN | LANTERN REPORTER

Undergraduate Student Government’s General Assembly votes to pass a resolution calling on Ohio State to support House Bill 249.

“Let it Be Further Resolved, that The USG reaffirm that it believes the survivors that have come forward to share their experience, and Let it Be Further Resolved, that The USG calls on the Ohio State University to publicly express its support of House Bill 294 and stand with OSU survivors past, present, and future,” the resolution reads.

Strauss served as team doctor

for 17 varsity sports and a physician at the Student Wellness Center from 1978 to 1998.

An independent investigation conducted by Perkins Coie, LLP, released in May, found that Ohio State failed to stop Strauss from abusing at least 177 students during his career. Ohio State’s latest count, according to a university press release, includes nearly 1,500 instances of Strauss-related

abuse.

Strauss died by suicide in 2005.

USG Sen. Ose Arheghan, sponsor of the resolution, said they have been working with survivors to write the resolution and received the statement of support about a week ago. Arheghan said taking a position as USG is important, as is having leaders who show support for survivors and USG CONTINUES ON 3

Police departments collaborate for off-campus safety CORI WADE Assistant Photo Editor wade.493@osu.edu Although University Police and Columbus Police Division have different jurisdictions, their boundaries are only 36 feet apart, which helps them work together to keep students, faculty and staff safe through collaborative off-campus patrol programs.

“Things happen on our side, and we need to let CPD know, and things happen on the CPD side for OSUPD to know.”

SCOTT HOLBERT University Police joint patrol officer

Their joint patrol involves one CPD officer and one University Police officer patrolling the immediate off-campus area on bikes from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m., Scott Hol-

bert, University Police’s sole joint patrol officer, said.

“Things happen on our side, and we need to let CPD know, and things happen on the CPD side for OSUPD to know,” Holbert said. “It is a great conduit for information-passing and to track crime trends on both sides, since we are in the middle of a major metropolitan area.”

The program began in 2008 to provide an additional resource to students, and the duty of the officers involved in this dual partnership is year-round, Dan Hedman, university spokesperson, said in an email.

Holbert said the officers mostly patrol the area between High Street and Fourth Street, but they know students live outside that area, and if a call comes in from a student past Fourth Street, they’ll respond.

The program is a way to connect students who are involved in off-campus crimes with Ohio State resources, Holbert said.

Hedman added that having a University Police officer and a CPD officer work together allows officers to respond collectively.

“We understand that a lot of our students, faculty and staff live in that area, so one of the major

reasons why this collaboration is important is if our students — for instance — are the victim of a crime, we at the university have a lot of resources to help them,” Hedman said.

Criminal Patrol, another joint patrol program between CPD and University Police, operates

on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights during the Ohio State academic year, Holbert said. The program involves city and university police officers riding together in a police cruiser.

In addition to the joint patrol programs, a mutual aid agreement was made in 2012 between

CPD and University Police that allows University Police officers witnessing a crime in progress to pursue a suspect into the immediate off-campus area, Hedman said.

pus and commuter student services and student advocacy.

Shivers is currently employed at Iowa as vice president for Student Life and worked previously as assistant vice chancellor, associate vice chancellor and dean of students at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, according to the release.

During her time at Iowa, Shivers focused on initiatives related to the health, safety and well-being of students, according to the release.

“Melissa brings the experience and leadership to help us take the Buckeye student experience to new heights,” University President Michael V. Drake said in the release. “Her skills and deep understanding of student life will ensure that Ohio State continues to be a national model in this area.”

Shivers will fill former Vice President for Student Life Javaune Adams-Gaston’s shoes, who held the position for a decade, according to Ohio State’s website. Adams-Gaston left Ohio State in June to become president of Norfolk State University in Virginia.

Shivers said Adams-Gaston, often known as “Dr. J,” is known nationally for her work within student life and her commitment to students, and Shivers did not anticipate taking her place.

“When I received an email that she was leaving, honest to goodness, my first statement was, ‘Phew, I feel bad for the person that’s going to follow Dr. J,’” Shivers said.

“It feels like a gift to me to be able to extend and continue doing some of the great work that Dr. J started and set as a huge foundation.”

Shivers said she is most excited to connect with students and learn about their needs as she joins the Ohio State community.

“I find that my energy comes from my opportunities to engage with students to

support students in all the ways as they transition to a college campus and as they prepare to become alumni,” Shivers said.

“Learning about what all of those opportunities are is really exciting and invigorating for me.”

“When I received an email that she was leaving, honest to goodness, my first statement was, ‘Phew, I feel bad for the person that’s going to follow Dr. J.’” MELISSA SHIVERS Incoming vice president for Student Life

Shivers also said she is ready to listen to the needs of students and campus partners to address campus issues.

“A big part of my job and responsibility will be to be a really good listener,” Shivers said. “Working really hard to understand all of the issues and the concerns that may currently exist, and then working with the campus and campus partners to think really thoughtfully about the ways that we can address any issues or concerns or, more importantly, to think about how we elevate and amplify some of the already really good work that’s happening there.”

She said she hopes to destigmatize selfhelp and mental health resources, but will have a more definitive vision when she arrives on campus.

who is behind the group, and no one from the group has contacted him.

However, he said he’s glad someone has taken up the cause.

“It’s hard for individual victims to get the word out that this has happened. Unfortunately, you need the word out. So the nice thing about the accountability project is it counteracts OSU’s spin and PR machine,” he said.

Prior said the group’s mission is to effect change at the university through a forward-looking approach.

“We don’t want to intrude on the privacy of victims. We want to respect their privacy. And I think that we believe that we can do the job that we need to do by focusing on what the university needs to do,” he said.

The group is supported by “alumni and interested parties,” Prior said, but he said he could not discuss the specifics of who is in the group or how many people are involved.

The group is a limited liability company with nonprofit status incorporated by Cincinnati-area lawyer David Langdon, according to the secretary of state’s website.

There have been at least 46 other domestic limited liability companies and nonprofits associated

with Langdon or his firm, Langdon Law LLC, according to the website.

One of the organizations, Coalition to Restore American Values, recently sponsored a political ad and website nofauxcasino. com, which shows Sen. Elizabeth Warren photoshopped to wear a Native American headdress and refers to her as “Fauxcahontas.”

In the past, Langdon has represented conservative groups, including a case involving anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony List, according to court records. The case eventually went to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Langdon did not respond to multiple phone calls by the time of publication.

“They can’t treat us like we’re not human beings and they really need to be accountable. They owe us that.”

educate people about House Bill 249.

“I just think it’s really important that as current students, we support the efforts of OSU alums who are standing up saying, ‘We are survivors, and we want to see accountability.’ I think it’s really important that we support that message,” Arheghan said.

able, the group also seeks to educate the public about Strauss.

In a survey the group conducted of 1,000 Ohio residents, 53.3 percent of respondents had heard about the investigation of Strauss and his abuse. Of those who had heard about Strauss, almost 80 percent thought Ohio State owed victims more than a formal apology, and almost 75 percent thought Ohio State owed the victims financial restitution.

However, nearly 50 percent of those who had heard about Strauss said it did not change their opinion of Ohio State.

“I think people can still have a high opinion of the university overall and all that offers, but not

approve of the way that the university has handled this specific incident,” Prior said.

The group has criticized Ohio State’s National Sexual Abuse Task Force for not including any of Strauss’ victims as members.

The task force does not include victims, but “will partner with survivors of sexual abuse to further inform and advance its work,” according to an Oct. 1 release.

Garrett said he agreed with The Ohio State Accountability Project’s stance on the task force.

“You insult us by not putting any victims on the sexual assault task force that were, that are, actually people who have gone

have a responsibility to take care of kids today. They had a responsibility to take care of kids 24 years ago, and they need to show us that they’re going to do that,” Synder-Hill said.

Arheghan said that they feel as if the university and its legal counsel are pressuring the chamber to vote one way.

“Ohio State University has a huge financial interest in avoiding the passage of this bill,” Arheghan said.

During the public comment period of GA, student organizations spoke in support of the resolution, including Take Back the Night at OSU and #Fight4Her. “Our university, Ohio State University, has failed us, the students,” Mia Cariello, president of Take Back the Night at OSU and a third-year in women’s, gender and sexuality studies, said. “The Ohio State University is supposed to protect its students, and it failed.”

Speaker of the General Assembly Cade Santha said it is not uncommon for parties outside of USG, such as Strauss victims who are alumni of the university, to provide a statement regarding a piece of legislation, and it helps to support senators’ claims within the resolution.

The statement quoted in the resolution and attached as an appendix states that the support

from USG will help hold Ohio State accountable.

“Your support could send a message to current and future OSU students that there is no expiration date on ensuring justice for survivors,” the statement reads.

Ben Johnson, university spokesperson, said in an email that the university took action immediately following allegations of Strauss’ abuse.

“For more than a year, Ohio State has led the effort to investigate and expose the misdeeds of Richard Strauss and the systemic failures to respond, and the university is committed to a fair resolution,” Johnson said. “The university is actively participating in good faith in the mediation process directed by the federal court.”

Steve Snyder-Hill, former student, survivor and plaintiff in one of the suits, said he hasn’t been contacted by the group either and has mixed feelings about it.

He said he still wants to be proud of where he came from and “bleed scarlet and gray.”

“It’s really hard to see people trashing them, and going after them and doing all these negative things,” he said.

However, Snyder-Hill and Garrett both said they think Ohio State needs to be held accountable.

“The flip side is that the more arrogant they become, and the more that they decide that they’re going to dig in, and just keep ignoring us and keep ignoring this whole thing, and acting like that it isn’t happening around them, and acting like more people aren’t coming forward every single day, it just makes you think, ‘Good,’” Snyder-Hill said. “ I’m glad that they’re doing this because somebody needs to show this institution that they can’t be indifferent to people. They can’t treat us like we’re not human beings, and they really need to be accountable.

They owe us that.”

COSI After Dark

Teaches and Terrifies

COURTESY OF COSI

COSI will host its monthly After Dark event on Oct. 24.

NICHOLAS YOUNGBLOOD Arts&Life Editor youngblood.27@osu.edu Guests ages 21 and up can engage their brain while looking at someone else’s this week during COSI After Dark.

COSI will host its monthly After Dark program Thursday, a 21-plus event that focuses on letting adults learn through play without the distraction of hordes of children who flood the interactive science center during the day.

This month’s theme, Halloween, will have plenty of spooky activities through a partnership with the Department of Neuroscience at the Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State.

“Being a hands-on museum, there has been a perception that COSI is only for kids, but we think COSI is great for people of all ages, including adults,” Joe Wood, director of adult engagement at COSI, said.

Wood, an Ohio State alumnus, works with the rest of the adult engagement team to create After Dark experiences that older

guests will find fun, while delivering a level of depth that the everyday COSI experience might lack, he said.

Wood said this month the museum will provide interactive exhibits about the science of fear to keep with the Halloween spirit. Ohio State will provide background on how the brain responds to perceived threats and even bring real brains attendees can examine.

Other activities will present concepts such as the uncanny valley — the uneasy effect caused by things that look almost human — through the lens of Halloween staples such as scary clowns. The museum’s Electric Workshop will be rebranded as “Dr. Frankenstein’s Electric Workshop,” incorporating electric devices such as Tesla coils from as far back as the 1830s. There will also be a costume contest, and Wood said all guests are encouraged to come in costume.

In addition to these October-specific attractions, COSI will provide access to its daytime exhibits, as well as After Dark

staples such as bars scattered across the facility and a buffet.

This month, the craft brewing partner is Seventh Son Brewing Company.

Wood said drinks go for rates that match the bars of the neighborhood, meaning an average of $6 for a beer. The buffet will offer an all-you-can-eat option for $16, in addition to a la carte options.

Dana Larison, a spring 2019 graduate of Ohio State, said she participated in an After Dark event this past fall and enjoyed herself despite steep prices for refreshments.

“It was kinda neat that you got to run around and play with everything as if you were a kid, without the pressure of watching kids doing it,” Larison said.

She said the most memorable part of her experience was visiting the planetarium for a Pink Floyd show. For an extra $5, Wood said visitors can attend one of three planetarium showings. The last presentation features a laser light show set to tunes from “Dark Side of the Moon,” which Wood said is exclusive to After Dark.

Claire Pan, another recent Ohio State alumna, attended in May for the Star Wars-themed After Dark.

She said attendees take their costumes seriously, so students looking to attend should plan on dressing up.

“It was like going to a Star Wars-themed Comic Con,” she said.

Wood said the themes are carefully considered for each After Dark event. Picking a theme and developing appropriate programming is a “combination of art and science” and involves guest feedback.

Pan, like Larison, said the steep prices of the event were a negative, but she would definitely go again.

“Honestly, COSI is the best without children,” she said. “Every single amusement park and museum just needs a child-free day. It’s so nice.”

Indeed, the idea is paying off for COSI. Wood said the event sees an average attendance of around 1,000 people, and he recommends getting tickets ahead of time.

Wood said adult learning is not just a focus during After Dark, but any time an adult walks through COSI’s door. In addition to After Dark, COSI recently launched COSI Discovery Nights, another 21-plus event that seeks to cater to older audiences and deeper learning experiences.

“Play is not just important for kids. It is how kids learn, but it is also how adults learn. So learning through play is more effective than just reading something in a book or in an article online — actually getting your hands in there and doing it,” Wood said.

“Also, it’s a lot more fun, and why should kids have all the fun?”

COSI After Dark’s Halloween event will run from 6 to 10 p.m.

Thursday. The event costs $20 in advance for nonmembers or $25 at the door. For more information on this and future After Dark events, visit cosi.org/adults/ cosi-after-dark.

Upcoming designer to host immersive fashion exhibition ASHLEE LEHR Lantern reporter lehr.71@osu.edu

F

ashion Week Columbus may be over, but something new — and some might say lucky — is arriving to the local fashion scene this week.

Zari Jackson, founder and designer for Khat Slade Demand, a streetwear brand for women, is hosting Demand Luck! An Immersive Fashion Exhibition downtown Thursday. The event will incorporate symbols of good luck while relating them to Halloween and common superstitions, according to the event page.

“There’s going to be giant eight balls rolling across the floor that you’re going to see. Like with all the art installations, it really all goes back to the same theme, and it’s something that we are going to have to install the day of, which I think that’s what makes it truly different,” Jackson said.

Demand Luck! shows off the clothing of Khat Slade Demand with the aid of interactive props, activities and art throughout the

venue, which supplement Jackson’s fantasy streetwear aesthetic.

Social media management agency A.M. Social has partnered with Khat Slade Demand to produce the immersive fashion show.

Alexia Montgomery, owner of A.M. Social, said the fashion will be unlike anything attendees have experienced, with Khat’s designs going above and beyond wearable clothing.

“You are going to be immersed in art from ceiling to floor, so there’s going to be different installations on the ceiling, on the walls, in the corners — just lots of different things going on, lots of different things to look at,” Montgomery said. “Instead of it just being pretty or something, it’s a bit more abstract and artistic, so you’re going to kind of feel like you’re in a different world.”

In addition to the show providing attendees with an involved fashion experience, Montgomery said the majority of ticket sale proceeds will be donated to AgedOutt, a local nonprofit organization that helps youth who have aged out of foster care be-

come self-sufficient.

Jackson said she handles the bulk of the design work while A.M. Social spreads the word about the upcoming designer’s event to the Columbus community.

This is the second collaboration between Montgomery and Khat Slade Demand. Montgomery said Jackson’s talent and the aesthetic of her creations set her apart from others in the fashion industry.

“I think that Khat is a very raw artist, so it’s just going to be different than anything else you’ll ever see,” Montgomery said.

The Demand Luck! An Immersive Fashion Exhibition, begins at 7 p.m. Thursday at the JPS Creative Space, a part of JPS Print, in downtown Columbus. Tickets are available for purchase at www.eventbrite.com. For more information, visit A.M. Social and Khat Slade Demand on social media.

Student debuting handmade bags at pop-up shop MICAHIAH BROWN-DAVIS Lantern reporter brown-davis.3@osu.edu Student-founded retail company Chvd Justin, which specializes in handmade “wearpacks,” is introducing a Game Day edition of its signature product this week at an on-campus pop-up shop.

Chad Porter, a third-year in economics, said he launched Chvd Justin in his second year after designing the wearpack — a bag that can be worn as a detachable chest pack and backpack — in his dorm room. In honor of the university where his company got its start, Porter said he wanted to introduce the new Game Day collection called The Arrival through a free-entry pop-up shop in Hale Hall.

“Ohio State is the birthplace of a new product. The event will be an artistic experience,” Porter said. “This event is different because this is the only place in the world you can get a product like this.”

Porter said the Game Day wearpacks are different from the original because they have a detachable chest pack with a shoulder strap, allowing them to be worn as a shoulder bag. The bags come in two color combinations: scarlet and gray or black and silver, Porter said.

In addition to the wearpacks, Porter said long-sleeve reflective

T-shirts with his brand’s logo will be available.

Student artists will complement the pop-up event by performing a mixture of rap, R&B and dance with performers including Porter, Loh Glizzy, Rio Lordi, Itscuddy, Snvke, 3D Urban Dance Team and Mariah Joy, Porter said.

Shiloh Turner, whose stage name is Loh Glizzy, is a rap art-

ist who previously opened for Playboy Carti at the Ohio State homecoming concert. He will be performing unreleased music, as well as songs from that concert.

Turner said he became a friend of Porter’s two years ago after they connected through their career goals regarding fashion and music.

“When he asked me to do this

show, I was excited and eager.

He’s worked really hard to get where he is now,” Turner said.

Porter said he presented the original wearpacks at his first pop-up shop in July in his hometown of Cleveland, where more than 50 people attended.

Since his first pop-up shop, Porter said he has been planning the event with the Chvd Justin

team, which includes four Ohio State students.

“I designed this product on campus as a college student, and we’re throwing this event as college students,” Porter said.

“Hopefully this will be a beacon of light to any young artist, designers, future entrepreneurs.

We just want to encourage everybody.”

Porter said the Game Day editions are $65, but are available for 10 percent off with a BuckID. The long-sleeve reflective T-shirts will be available for $10.

“The Game Day [editions] are the hardest ones he’s dropped so far. You can tell the work is very precise,” Turner said.

Porter said being an Ohio State student has provided connections and help in planning the event.

“Our goal is to be the next biggest brand in the world, and I want people to come be a part of history,” Porter said.

The Arrival pop-up shop is 2-6 p.m. Saturday in Hale Hall. Products are available for purchase at the event and on ChvdJustin.com.

OFFENSE FROM 8

combined in his first two years with the Badgers, a mark he has already equalled through seven games in 2019, and his four receiving scores are the most on the team.

Ohio State co-defensive coordinator Greg Mattison said a team’s first instinct to stifle a power running front like Wisconsin’s is to stack the box, but with Taylor’s newfound pass-catching ability and a Big Ten-leading 76 percent completion rate from Coan, the answer to the puzzle will not be that simple.

“I know this is going to be the biggest challenge of the year.”

RYAN DAY Ohio State football head coach

Giving up the ninth-fewest rushing yards in the country at 92.7 per game, Ohio State has been elite at stopping the run.

But against Northwestern, which averages just 3.6 yards per rush on the season, the Buckeyes were

consistently gashed on the Wildcats’ second drive for 40 yards on the ground, including three carries for double-digit gains.

It may be a small sample size of success, but it made enough of an impact that Mattison said corrections need to be made before Ohio State takes on Taylor and a program that boasts three of the past eight NCAA rushing champions.

“We all know as a defense that we don’t want to give up yardage like that on the run,” Mattison said. “That’s not our deal. That’s not our backbone.”

Though hardly bottled up, Taylor’s 132 yards and a touchdown in this past week’s loss to Illinois, the team’s first of the season, proved that teams can have success against the Badgers even when their star back is productive.

Wisconsin’s upset loss, alongside Taylor’s career low twogame average of 3.9 yards per carry accrued in the past two weeks, may suggest the Big Ten battle has lost some luster. But in order to keep the season on track, Day and the Buckeyes will need to ensure Taylor isn’t out of the blocks and off to the races early and often Saturday.

“We’ll find out after Saturday, find out where we’re at with this thing,” Day said. “I think we’ve done a good job of defeating blocks, winning the line of scrimmage. This will be the ultimate test when you play Wisconsin.”

Ohio State hosts defending champs ERIC AMERINE Lantern reporter amerine.21@osu.edu The last time Ohio State men’s soccer beat Maryland, it had an entirely different coaching staff and roster, save redshirt senior goalie Parker Siegfried.

Ohio State (6-7-1, 1-3-1 Big Ten) enters the final stretch of its regular season on a three-game slide, but has a chance to turn it around with its final three conference matchups, beginning against No. 22 Maryland (8-4-2, 2-1-2 Big Ten) Friday at home.

“We still know if we get good results against those teams, then everything is right there for us still as far as the Big Ten tournament and an NCAA appearance,” senior midfielder Jack Holland said.

The reigning 2018 national champions head into Columbus with steam. The Terrapins have recorded back-to-back shutout victories against No. 6 Indiana and No. 24 Yale.

“They press and repress. They get after you offensively. They will rotate it for sure but when they can go, they go,” Ohio State head coach Brian Maisonneuve said. “They’re goal dangerous, and they have the pieces to do it.

It’s going to be a fast game.”

Despite being three places ahead of the Buckeyes in the Big Ten standings, Maryland averages fewer shots, goals and assists than Ohio State. Its 1.21 goals per game is middle of the pack in the nine-team conference, sitting at No. 5.

Maryland’s top offensive weapons include junior forward Eric Matzelevich and freshman midfielder David Kovacic, who are the team’s top two scorers with four and three goals, respectively.

The Terrapins boast eight shutouts this year, allowing just 0.79 goals per game. Opponents have outscored Ohio State by an average of .28 goals per game this year.

mance has been especially lacking in recent games, allowing two unanswered goals to close a 2-1 loss to Kentucky and three to end a 3-1 defeat against Michigan State.

“We talk about that mentality after we score. We really have to focus on that because it has cost us games,” Maisonneuve said.

After scoring against Michigan State, the Buckeyes never again matched the Spartans’ intensity, Maisonneuve said.

“They’re goal dangerous, and they have the pieces to do it. It’s going to be a fast game.”

Ohio State players to watch include Holland and junior forward Matteo Bennati. Holland leads the team with 15 points, good for No. 2 in the Big Ten, with four goals and seven assists. Bennati is third in team points with three goals and two assists.

Holland said that trend cannot continue if Ohio State wants to make a run in the Big Ten tournament.

“It’s hard to pinpoint what happens, but in my opinion, and what

I have been trying to play every game, it’s a mental thing,” Holland said. “In the first half, we are all hyped up and buzzing, and then we get a goal and think we can switch off. The team cannot switch off. And I try to remind myself to stay switched on.”

Kickoff for Ohio State’s second-to-last home game of the year is at 7 p.m. Friday against Maryland.

The Badgers’ No. 1 rush defense hasn’t faced an opponent in the top 40 for rush offense, either, and the Buckeyes rank No. 3.

Ohio State’s offense and Wisconsin’s defense are providing the first true test for each other, and the result of their clash will have implications for the Big Ten and national title races alike.

Day said the key will be ball security, physicality and good situational football.

“It’s going to be a challenge for our guys,” Day said. “We have to answer the bell.”

The test begins at noon Saturday in Ohio Stadium.

but two fellow defensive backs lurk right behind him with four.

“The secondary is very talented, as well,” Day said. “You have to hang onto the ball maybe a little bit longer than you want to.”

Ohio State’s No. 3 scoring offense is the first top-60 attack the Badgers have faced this season, however. Wisconsin has yet to face a Power Five passing offense with a completion percentage of at least 60 percent through the air.

Ohio State sophomore quarterback Justin Fields completes 71 percent of his throws, aided in part by his ability to escape the pocket and extend plays, sophomore wide receiver Chris Olave said. This could be crucial against a secondary putting up the numbers that Wisconsin’s is.

“It’s really good for us receivers,” Olave said. “He likes to keep plays alive with his feet. The scramble drill is in effect. Our second part of the route is very

Ohio State aims to end season on a high, starting with reigning champions Maryland. | ON PAGE 7

Wisconsin defense Badgers boast threatens Buckeyes nation’s best back ANDY ANDERS Assistant Sports Editor anders.83@osu.edu Wisconsin’s defense is No. 1 nationally in scoring defense and total defense. It is No.1 in rushing yards and passing yards allowed per game. It is No. 1 in thirddown and red zone efficiency.

At least the Badger defense leads only the Big Ten — and not the entire country — in passes defended and fewest 20-plus-yard plays allowed.

No. 3 Ohio State (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) has fallen short of 40 points just once this season, scoring 34 against Michigan State’s No. 22 total defense. No. 13 Wisconsin (6-1, 3-1) will badger the Buckeye attack with its toughest challenge to date.

“This is the No. 1 defense in the country,” Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said.

“We consider ourselves to be one of the top offenses in the country. [We’ll] find out where we’re at [Saturday].”

Day credits much of Wisconsin’s defensive success to coor- dinator Jim Leonhard, pointing to the levera ge

and drive the Badgers create on that side of the ball with their scheme.

Wisconsin utilizes a rare defensive front where linebackers stand in place of defensive ends to pin runs inside and provide an athletic pass-rushing threat to opposing quarterbacks. Typically only two or three true defensive linemen are on the field, as opposed to the four Ohio State and many other college football teams use.

Three linebackers provide the foundation for Wisconsin’s defense, combining for 34 percent of the team’s tackles, 49 percent of its tackles for loss and 67 percent of its sacks, as each compose the top three in those categories.

The troublesome trio is composed of redshirt seniors Chris Orr and Zack Baun and sophomore Jack Sanborn.

“Baun does a great job in one-on-one situations. He’s very active, powerful, especially in third down,” Day said. “Those [other] linebackers do a great job, as well, adding on or blitzing in different situations.”

When opposing quarterbacks manage to get the ball away against the Wisconsin pass rush, they complete only 44 percent of passes.

Redshirt junior safety Collin Wilder leads the team with five passes defended, DEFENSE CONTINUES ON 7

GRIFFIN STROM Sports Editor strom.25@osu.edu Jonathan Taylor won back-toback 100-meter dash state titles at Salem High School in New Jersey, posting a personal record time of 10.49 seconds –– one of the fastest in state history.

What’s even scarier about the best running back Ohio State will face in at least the regular season: Speed isn’t his most notable attribute.

The 2018 Doak Walker Award winner and first team Associated Press All-American has made a habit of ferociously ripping, tearing and stiff-arming his way through the teeth of America’s best defenses to the tune of 5,128 career rushing yards in three seasons with Wisconsin –– already the No. 19 leading rusher in college football history.

And the speed doesn’t hurt either.

“I know this is going to be the biggest challenge of the year,” Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said. “It’s a major challenge for the guys up front, the front seven and the secondary. These guys are big, strong, physical. They’re going to try to move us off the ball. Obviously Taylor is as good as there is in the country.”

After chewing up 1,977 and 2,194 yards of turf in his freshman and sophomore seasons,

respectively, the 220-pound back is on another jaw-dropping campaign for the Badgers in 2019.

His 957 yards and 136.7 per game are both No. 3 in the nation, and the two players ahead of him have each received at least 21 more carries on the year.

significantly outpacing himself from two prior seasons in which he had 13 and 16.

If his statistical rap sheet isn’t enough to strike fear in the heart of the Buckeye contingent, Taylor enters Columbus looking to avenge the worst performance of his lauded collegiate tenure, a career-low 41 yards on 2.7 per carry in a Big Ten Championship loss to Ohio State in 2017.

“When we saw him two years ago, in the Big Ten Championship, it was kind of a first- and second-down guy,” redshirt junior linebacker Tuf Borland said.

“But now he’s better at his game in all aspects, all the way through third down, blocking, catching the ball out of the backfield –– so he’s a great player.”

Evidence of Taylor’s evolution is readily available in his use as a safety valve for junior quarterback Jack Coan in the improved Wisconsin passing attack this season. Taylor caught 16 passes OFFENSE CONTINUES ON 6
