Fall festival to raise money for children in Malawi By CANDACE HOWELL Staff Writer C.J.Howell2@iup.edu

CURE IUP, a chapter of the nonprofit organization CURE International, will host its first Fall Flannel Event on Nov. 3 in the Hadley Union Building (HUB) Ohio Room. Festivities will take place from 5 to 7 p.m., featuring fall-themed activities for the university community. There will be a $7 admission fee, which chapter president Lydia Nelson (senior, fashion) said goes directly to children who are being treated by CURE’s nonprofit hospital in Malawi, a country located in the Eastern region of Africa. Some events include apple bobbing, pumpkin ring tossing and live music from local bands. There will also be plenty of food. Aside from the fall festivities, Nelson said there will be CURE activities that allow students to interact with the children at Malawi’s orthopedic center, such as the opportunity to make short, encouraging videos and/or paintings that will be sent directly to the kids. “All in all, we want to bring

together diverse students that will make a difference in a child’s life,” Nelson said. “We are a big family that not only supports each other, but supports the kids in thirdworld countries.” Aside from hosting several events in the past, the organization raises funds for CURE’s programs by tabling, canning and recruiting. “We also like to communicate with and support the kids in the hospital by making crafts, sending messages, videos and cards and praying for them,” Nelson said. “We accept everyone no matter what religion, race or ethnicity.”

Service is not limited to campus. The chapter has partnered with Amplify Church and Gamma Sigma Sigma for past events and has traveled abroad on behalf of the nonprofit. During the summer of 2016, IUP’s chapter traveled to Zambia, which allowed members to help patients and to minister to nearby villages. The chapter has opportunities to take a mission trip every summer, which Nelson described as a life-changing experience that helped strengthen her faith. CURE International’s overall mission is to “heal the sick and

proclaim the Kingdom of God.” Its hospitals treat a vast array of severe conditions, including bowed legs, cleft lips, untreated burns or scars and hydrocephalus. CURE even trains surgeons who enroll in its specialty programs like the CURE Hydrocephalus and Spina Bifida Program. Nelson saw the event as a great opportunity to benefit its cause and raise awareness. Nelson started CURE’s IUP chapter with her friend, IUP alumna Jessie Duca, in September, 2015, after Duca was inspired by a “random idea” to start an organization that would change lives.

“She told me about her idea and interestingly, that same day, CURE International followed her on Twitter,” Nelson said, “and she was hooked. “She told me all about it, and I instantly knew that CURE would be an awesome organization on campus.” The club’s nonprofit organization, which is known for building Africa’s first orthopedic pediatric teaching hospital for children with disabilities, has 29 accredited university chapters in the United States and two in Pennsylvania. CURE International was founded by Scott Harrison, a former surgeon and CEO, and his wife, Sally. According to CURE.org, the Harrisons were invited to Malawi to teach on higher-level orthopedic surgery. On arrival, the couple was moved by the “physical and spiritual” needs of the locals, and in 1996, they founded CURE to meet those needs. Since its inception, the organization has built and operated 10 hospitals in 10 different areas, some of which include Afghanistan, Zambia and the Dominican Republic.

Liberty, artistic expression inspire woodworking students’ award design By DYLAN LYLE Staff Writer D.S.Lyle@iup.edu

Students in the Wood Center at IUP collaborated on the design and production of the 2017 Pennsylvania Governor’s Awards in the Arts. This year, the awards were presented Thursday in Lancaster. There were five awards given out, and one given to the institution. An advanced woodworking class, instructed by Artist-InResidence, John Hallett, built the governor’s awards into its course curriculum. The students involved in this project were Samson Andanje (fine arts), Nicholas Gemberling (graphic design), Jenn Milkey (graduate, ceramics), John Miller, Katie Ott (graduate, woodworking), Micaela Rodas (pre-dentistry), Jonathan Simkins (senior, communications media), Tyler Stanton (graduate, woodworking), Samuel Tyson (junior, studio art) and Jesse Wolfson (studio art). B. A. Harrington is the director of the Wood Center at IUP and an assistant professor of art. “What makes this cool,” Harrington said, “is that this is the first time that students have been responsible for the design and production of the awards. “This was truly a collaborative effort, every student in the class, Hallet, myself and basically everyone working in the Wood Center put time in on this project.” Students have been involved in production in the past, but this

was the first time students also chose the design of the award, according to Harrington. The students presented their own original designs in the form of sketches and models, along with a concept statement. Harrington and Hallett chose a design that would best represent the awards. “John and I picked the one that we felt had the strongest concept,” Harrington said. “It really exemplified what the awards and the arts are about.” Harrington described the concept of the award as a melding of

the Liberty Bell and a keystone. Another key component of their decision was whether or not it would be feasible to produce, according to Harrington. She said she wanted to make sure they delivered a finely crafted object on time. John Miller, the student whose design was chosen, commented on the reasoning behind the design. “Artistic Expression is the keystone of liberty,” Miller said. “Without liberty, there can be no artistic expression. Without artistic expression, there is no liberty.”

Lawmakers step into prickly free-speech debate By EMILY WILKINS CQ-Roll Call TNS

The debate over free speech on college campuses continued on Capitol Hill on Thursday with yet another hearing, but lawmakers don’t appear to be in any hurry to address the flare-up with legislation. “Universities especially should be the place where people of different views should speak, audiences can listen and many contrasting different viewpoints are encouraged,” Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., said at the hearing. “There should be some sensible ways to allow that while still protecting freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment.” The panel is just the latest committee to hold a hearing on free speech on college campuses, where university administrators and others face pressures between the right to free speech and containing what some faculty and students consider hate speech. So far, the only legislation proposed to address the issue is a House resolution to ban campuses from designating specific areas where students can protest or pass out flyers. The measure is sponsored by Tennessee Republican Phil Roe, and also has the support of Mary-

land Democrat Jamie Raskin. On Thursday, lawmakers heard from Middlebury College professor Allison Stanger, who was physically attacked in March by students after moderating a talk with Charles Murray, a libertarian scholar whose ideas have been labeled as “racist pseudoscience” by the Southern Poverty Law Center. “Nothing less than liberal education and the possibility of reasoned political debate is at stake in the debate over campus censorship,” Stanger said in her prepared testimony to the committee. According to the free-speech advocacy group Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, 16 speakers have been disinvited from college campuses since

the start of the year, and 24 were disinvited last year – the highest numbers since FIRE began collecting data in 2000. A number of conservative figures, including political commentators Ann Coulter and former Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos, have had invitations to speak canceled by schools after students protested. White nationalist Richard Spencer was blocked from speaking on several college campuses before his talk at the University of Florida this month. FIRE legislative director Joe Cohn said he’d spoken with

several members of Congress who recognized there was an issue but were not yet sure how to best address it. “At the moment, Congress is still wrapping their head around what makes sense to do. There’s a lot of members of Congress who have spoken to me about free speech and a desire to do something to help the situation,” Cohn said. “We’re in the stage of trying to think through all the different possibilities to make sure we do something that is helpful to students no matter where they are on the political spectrum.” Roe has floated the idea of halting federal funding to colleges that violate the First Amendment. At a July event at the conservative Heritage Foundation, Roe said that perhaps schools “don’t need federal funding if you don’t allow people to speak freely on your campus.” But on Wednesday Roe said he doesn’t think the federal government currently needs to act on the issue. “I think it’s getting better,” he said. “As I’ve sat back and watched this thing, I think they’ve felt pressure from the media. I thought it probably would sort of

work its own way out, and it’s kind of doing that. “ The Justice Department might disagree. In September, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said that the department would begin weighing in on cases involving campus free speech. Since then, the department has filed statements of interest in two cases, both dealing with free speech zones. In September, the department weighed in on a Georgia Gwinnett College policy that limits demonstrations to certain areas and times on campus. This week, the department submitted a statement of interest on a student who sued Pierce College in Los Angeles after an administrator told him he could not distribute copies of the U.S. Constitution. “University officials and faculty must defend free expression boldly and unequivocally,” Sessions said in a statement. “Last month, I promised a recommitment to free speech on campus and to ensuring First Amendment rights. The Justice Department continues to do its part in defending free speech, protecting students’ free expression, and enforcing federal law.”

“Being a friend can be the best thing you can do.” Faish said he recognizes that it may seem like a daunting task to break the social stigma associated with suicide. “No one wants to ask those kinds of questions,” he said, “partially because they are afraid of someone saying yes, that they are struggling with suicide.

OPINION

(TNS)

(TNS) Bill O’Reilly was at the Newseum in Washington D.C., October 6, 2016.

Bill O’Reilly paid a $32 million settlement for sexual harassment allegations last January, six months after leaving Fox News amid a sexual harassment scandal. The settlement was with Lis Wiehl, a former legal analyst at Fox News. According to an Oct. 21 article by The New York Times, Wiehl’s allegations included repeated harassment, a nonconsensual sexual relationship and unsolicited gay pornography and other sexually explicit material. Previous women who received settlements after accusing O’Reilly of sexual harassment or verbal abuse include Rachel Witlieb Bernstein, a junior producer at Fox News, in 2002; Andrea Mackris, a producer on “The O’Reilly Factor,” in 2004; Rebecca Gomez Diamond, a host on Fox Business Network, in 2011; Laurie Dhue, an anchor at Fox News, in 2016; Juliet Huddy, an on-air personality at Fox News, in 2016; and now Wiehl, in 2017. O’Reilly’s settlement with Wiehl was not a company settlement, like some were before. James Murdoch, the chief executive of 21st Century Fox, Fox News’ parent company, said he did not know the size of O’Reilly’s settlement until recently. But, according to a Wednesday article in The New York Times, Murdoch acknowledged that 21st Century Fox was aware of Wiehl’s allegations against O’Reilly. Although O’Reilly was the highest-rated host at Fox when he was ousted, he had cost the company millions of dollars in settle-

ments for harassment claims against him. Previous publicly known harassment settlements against O’Reilly have grossed about $45 million. And O’Reilly’s settlement of $32 million, out of his own pockets, paints a picture that incriminates him of a lot more than just allegations. According to the Oct. 21 New York Times article, the settlement was extraordinarily large for such cases. The settlement dwarfs other known sexual harrassment settlements at Fox News, the largest being $20 million for former host Gretchen Carlson, who sued Fox News chairman, Roger Ailes. The fact that Fox did not let O’Reilly go after six previous allegations, however, speaks volumes to the network’s priorities. In its lack of action, its obvious that Fox cares more about its ratings and earnings than it does its employees. O’Reilly is now negotiating for a position with Sinclair Broadcast Group, the largest TV-station owner in the nation, according to a Wednesday NBC News article. If Sinclair, a company known for its conservative commentary, or any other organization hires O’Reilly after his sexual harassment track-record, it shows that these organizations, like Fox News, care more about ratings than they do the people dedicated to the job.

Scott Pruitt’s EPA is delivering, except for clean air and water By ST. LOUIS DISPATCH TNS

Whatever troubles President Donald Trump may be having, it must be said that in a perverse sort of way, his Environmental Protection Agency is a screaming success. Trump has ping-ponged from one attention-grabbing controversy to another. He hasn’t passed a single substantial piece of legislation and continues to baffle Republican congressional leaders with his shifting positions and his penchant for personal attacks. Meanwhile, as public attention focuses elsewhere, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is quietly dismantling decades of work done under Republican and Democratic presidents alike to protect the environment. If you voted for Trump because you wanted dirtier air and water, Pruitt is delivering. If you wanted industry insiders in charge of EPA divisions overseeing dangerous chemicals and pesticides, you’ve got ‘em. If you agree with Trump that climate change is a “hoax” and “nonsense” and a “barnyard epithet,” then he and Pruitt deserve the credit. “We’ve ended the EPA intrusion into your jobs and into your lives,” Trump boasted in a North Dakota speech last month. “And we’re refocusing the EPA on its core mission:

October 27, 2017

clean air and clean water.” That second sentence, like so much of what Trump says, is the opposite of true. Pruitt has begun taking steps to revoke the Obama administration’s Clean Water Rule, which asserted federal jurisdiction over smaller bodies of waters that feed into larger streams and rivers. Two weeks ago, Pruitt signed an order to begin dismantling the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan that regulates industrial greenhouse gas emissions. Pruitt has the support of industries that say complying with tighter environmental regulations is too costly and difficult. It’s cheaper for industries to dump crud into the air and water, and industry matters most in Pruitt’s EPA. Pruitt has moved to muzzle EPA’s climate scientists and delete mentions of “climate change” and “global warming” from EPA publications. In just the latest example, three EPA scientists were forced to cancel speeches. All of Pruitt’s success – if you define success as making the air and water dirtier and the country safe for the coal and chemical industries – comes at a price. Pruitt is so concerned about his own security that he’s had a $25,000 “cone of silence” phone booth installed in his office. This is the reality of the Trump administration: a government by and for special interests at a terrible cost.

Local artist speculates in Sprowls By LAITH ZURAIKAT Staff Writer Laith.Zuraikat@iup.edu

The Kipp Gallery in Sprowls Hall is featuring a new exhibit by localaffiliated artist Naomi J. Falk, titled “t/here,” from noon to 4 p.m. every Monday-Friday through Dec. 1. While Falk is originally from Michigan, she studied and obtained her master’s degree from Carnegie Mellon University. Falk dabbles in a variety of different mediums, but her most prominent pieces tend to be sculptural and three-dimensional in nature. Falk said in her artist statement that her work seeks to force the viewer to ask themselves, “do fences make good neighbors, and is the grass really greener on the other side?” She said in her statement that she attempts to do this by “exploring built and found landscapes. I consider how we define home and how we value personal space. What do we do to protect it?” This exhibit takes the first question of “do fences make good neighbors” quite literally, as a metal wire fence structure dominates the

majority of the central space of the gallery. Adorned with bright orange tape, the structure gives off a mazelike feel that inspires the viewer to take a walk through and around it. While the fence is the largest and most dominant aspect of this exhibit, a series of smaller sculptural works and drawings surround the outskirts of the exhibit space and walls. The use of paint and wood gives a different textual feel, and the use of the color orange is in some manner present throughout all of the works in the gallery. The use of this color helps to provide a consistent focal point for the viewer that ties the entire exhibit together. Falk’s work certainly achieved her goal of making the viewer ruminate on why we, as a society, seem to focus so much on creating structures that are meant to keep others out. But, the openness of the space detracts a bit from the message of how we define personal space. Falk said she desires to use her work to force the viewer to “contemplate the struggles and connections we have with each other, and the need to find a place to call our Naomi J. Falk is a Carnegie Mellon University alumna. own.”

Seven local fall-inspired treats Pumpkin Palooza By LAITH ZURAIKAT Staff Writer Laith.Zuraikat@iup.edu

While it’s easy to get caught up in the pumpkin-spice-latte craze, it’s important to remember that there is more to fall food than just that. There are several fall-themed food and drink options in the area that are worth trying between pumpkin spice sips.

Highlights from the menu include a soft pretzel braid served with beer cheese and grainy mustard and the traditional German staple, bratwurst. The restaurant’s “Wurst” platter features seared bratwurst and knockwurst, ciderbraised red cabbage and Yukon mashed potatoes. The restaurant and bar is also getting in on the alcohol act, offering an autumn sangria.

The Artists Hand Gallery & Espresso Bar: The cafe offers a

streak to eight games By KEVIN BOHAN Staff Writer

K.J.Bohan@iup.edu

The IUP soccer team increased its already impressive win streak to eight games and clinched a berth in the PSAC Tournament this week. The week started out with a 3-2 win against Gannon University in a double overtime thriller Saturday on Senior Night. IUP SOCCER honored seniors Lindsey Jarolmen (communications media), Lexie Palluconi (interior design), Brandie Bryant (kinesiology), Cassidy LeDonne (mathematics), Kristen Baumgartner (biology), Megan Coyne (kinesiology) and Sarah Settlemire (mathematics). After the Senior Night ceremony, the game started off very slow for both teams. Each team combined to get off fewer than 10 total shots in the first period before both teams shot a combined 16 shots in the second half. The scoring started by Gannon in minute 52 of the contest and continued to go back and forth throughout regulation. With only 30 seconds remaining in the game, however, LeDonne had a shot to end the the game, but the ball sailed just high to force an overtime period. In the overtime period, both teams had chances to win the game. Mckenna Keffel (sophomore,

marketing) had a shot saved by Gannon, which would prove to be the Crimson Hawks’ last chance in the period. In the second overtime, Gannon came out attacking strong with two shots that went wide left before Mya Hilliard (freshman, education) put in the goal to seal the game for the Crimson Hawks. The game was the deciding factor in clinching IUP’s berth into the PSAC Tournament. IUP clinched its eighth win in a row Wednesday when the team faced off against Mercyhurst University. The game started off rough for the Crimson Hawks, as Mercyhurst scored within the first 15 minutes. With two goals from Palluconi IUP bombarded Mercyhurst, 5-1, throughout the rest of the contest. Great goalie play was a theme yet again for IUP, as it tallied eight saves on the contest. There was aggressive play from both sides as the teams tallied 13 total fouls throughout the game. With the eighth straight win for the Crimson Hawks, it marked a school record. The previous record, seven wins, was held by the team that won the conference championship in 2004. Despite clinching a spot in the postseason, IUP still has something to play for as it faces off against division leader West Chester University on Saturday.

IUP field hockey looks to end season on high note By SARAH MOLTZ Staff Writer

S.J.Moltz@iup.edu

The IUP field hockey team lost in a close match, 2-1, to No. 7-ranked Bloomsburg University on Saturday at Steph Pettit Stadium in Bloomsburg. An intense game from start to finish, the Crimson Hawks were the first to score, with a goal in the 28th minute, to take the lead before halftime. Junior midfielder Matti Reightler (political science/pre-law) dribbled along the goal line, shooting one in past the Huskies’ goaltender. Sophomore forward Kimberly Kelly (undecided) assisted on Reighter’s lone goal. In the second half, the Huskies scored fast off a rebound from an initial save by senior goalie Alyssa Lerda (earth/space science). Bloomsburg added on another score quickly after, scoring a goal in the 43rd minute to take the lead over the Crimson Hawks, 2-1. The Crimson Hawks’ offense tried to tie the game as Reightler took three consecutive shots with less than two minutes remaining in a last-chance effort. “The game was very close, and although we lost, it was a good battle,” Reightler said. “We gave everything we had in that game.” As a team, IUP totaled 10 shots, seven of which were on goal, compared to Bloomsburg, which

picked up 14 shots with only four on goal. Lerda had a total of two saves for the Crimson Hawks. On Wednesday afternoon, the Crimson Hawks hosted Mansfield University in the teams’ second meeting of the season. In need of a bounce-back win, IUP looked to take the season series from Mansfield after IUP won the first game back in September, 3-2. Mansfield got on the board first, scoring just a little more than 12 minutes into the game. With IUP’s recent offensive struggles, the team knew it needed to respond in a hurry. Crimson Hawks’ Kalista Gioglio (junior, kinesiology) got the team on the board in the 59th minute on a penalty corner shot assisted by Reightler. After tying the game, Lerda and the Crimson Hawks’ defense suffered a late-game letdown after a Mansfield shot deflected in off Lerda, pushing the Mountaineers ahead for good in the 67th minute, allowing them to secure the victory and split the season series with IUP. With the loss, IUP’s losing streak was extended to five straight games and gives the team an overall record of 5-11 and 2-7 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC). The Crimson Hawks will look to snap their losing streak and end 2017 on a high note when they welcome No. 7-ranked West Chester University in the season finale at 5 p.m. on Saturday.

(IUP Athletics) The 5-11 IUP field hockey team will look to end its season on a high note when it hosts No. 7-ranked West Chester University at 5 p.m. Saturday at Miller Stadium to wrap up the 2017 season.

IUP men finish third By JARRETT JOHNSON Staff Writer

J.D.Johnson4@iup.edu

The IUP cross country teams competed at the 2017 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships last weekend in California, Pa. The men finished third overall as a CROSS team. Three of IUP men’s runCOUNTRY ners finished in the top 10, and five more finished in the top 50. It was the first time since 1983 that IUP has had three men finish in the top 10 at the PSAC Championships. Senior Greg Beaudette (redshirt, exercise science) had the best finish for the Crimson Hawks on the 8K course. He finished with a time of 26:46.3, which was good for fourth place. Beaudette was also named the IUP men’s athlete of the week Monday. Dalton Trump (redshirt senior, marketing) finished in ninth place with a time of 27:16.7. The last IUP runner in the top 10 was Austin Cooper (senior, regional planning and economics), who finished in 10th place with a time of 27:19.4. All three Crimson Hawks earned a spot on the firstteam All-PSAC. This was the first time in Beaudette and Trump’s careers that they finished first-team All-PSAC. The five other IUP runners who finished in the top 50 included Noah Mandel (junior, pre-physical therapy and exercise science) in 33rd

at 28:30.7; John Michael Mihalek (redshirt senior, psychology and nutrition) in 35th at 28:31.5; Ryan Louther (redshirt junior, accounting) in 46th at 28:46.7; Michael Dautlick (junior, safety science) in 47th at 28:48.2; and Sam Lenze (freshman, biochemistry) in 48th at 28:48.4. The IUP women’s cross country team finished 11th overall at the PSAC Championships. Finishing the best for the women was Makena Felts (senior, nursing) in 27th at 24:18.2. She finished just two minutes behind the first-place runner from California University of Pennsylvania, Julie Friend. Felts’ finish was enough to land her secondteam All-PSAC honors. Other finishers for IUP were Nicole Best (senior, accounting) in 55th at 25:22.3; Sam Christman (junior, management information systems) in 57th at 25:27.0; Olivia Hammond (freshman, pre-dental) in 73rd at 25:48.6; and Tricia Varner (freshman, nursing) in 79th at 25:54.8. The women’s team finished with 289 total points. Both IUP cross country teams will be back in action Saturday at Lock Haven University. “Lock Haven is known for having a fast course,” coach Joey Zins said, “and it looks like we will have ideal course and weather conditions for Saturday. I am hoping that we can achieve a lot of personal-best times from this meet.” IUP will be resting its top eight men’s runners and top seven women’s runners in preparation for the Atlantic Regional Championships on Nov. 4. The Atlantic Regionals will also take place at Lock Haven.

College football season heating up By JARROD BROWNE Lead Sports Writer

J.W.Browne@iup.edu

Week 8 of the college football season was headlined by two primetime games that both ended in blowouts. The 13th-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish welcomed the 11thranked USC Trojans to South Bend, Ind., to battle for the Jeweled Shillelagh. Notre Dame kept top quarterback prospect Sam Darnold quiet, limiting him to 229 yards with two touchdowns and an interception before leaving the game with an injury. Notre Dame’s offense was led by running back Josh Adams, who totaled 191 rushing yards with three touchdowns in the 49-14 victory. Adams’ consistency running the football accompanied by the big numbers he has strung together have put him in the Heisman Trophy conversation. The game of the week was a Big Ten showdown between the University of Michigan and Penn State University. Last year when the teams met, Michigan applied a 49-10 beatdown on the Nittany Lions. This year, No. 2 Penn State returned the favor with a 42-13 victory in Happy Valley. Penn State was led by Heisman Trophy front-runner, running back Saquon Barkley, who ran for 105 yards and scored two touchdowns for the Nittany Lions. Penn State Quarterback Trace McSorley had a strong performance, too, throwing for 282 yards with a touchdown and an interception. In Week 9 there will be another primetime Big Ten matchup as the sixth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes welcome second-ranked Penn State to Columbus. Ohio State is hoping to avenge its lone regular-season loss from last year when Penn State upset the Buckeyes, 24-21, highlighted

by a fourth-quarter Grant Haley 60yard touchdown on a blocked field goal. Although Ohio State’s revenge factor is easy to identify, it is easy to forget the Nittany Lions are heading to Columbus with a sense of revenge, too. Last year, Ohio State was picked for the College Football Playoff despite Penn State having an identical record, a head-to-head win and the conference championship. Both teams will be lead by Heisman hopefuls. The Nittany Lions will be led by Barkley, who has rushed for 757 yards this season and eight touchdowns. The Buckeyes will be led by quarterback J.T. Barrett, who has passed for 1,838 yards, scored 21 touchdowns and thrown only one interception. Barrett is also a threat on the ground, running for 359 yards while collecting five touchdowns. More locally, the 3-5 Pittsburgh Panthers will welcome the 5-2 Virginia Cavaliers for an ACC showdown. The Cavaliers will rally behind quarterback Kurt Benkert, who has thrown for 1,806 yards this year. The Panthers will be lead by running back Darrin Hall, who has 362 yards this season. Heading into Week 9 of the college football season, the top four spots in the AP Top 25 rankings are listed as follows: Alabama (8-0), Penn State (7-0), Georgia (7-0) and TCU (7-0). No. 5 Wisconsin and No. 8 Miami (Florida) are the only two remaining undefeated teams that sit on the outside of the top four looking in. Other one-loss teams looking to move into one of the top four spots in the rankings are No. 6 Ohio State, No. 7 Clemson, No. 9 Notre Dame and No. 10 Oklahoma. Quarterbacks Baker Mayfield of Oklahoma and Mason Rudolph of Oklahoma State are some of the nation’s Heisman hopefuls and will need big finishes to the end of their seasons to be named finalists.
