Bulls beat UConn for first time in 12 years Defense leads Buffalo to 41-12 victory JON GAGNON
Senior Sports Editor
The football team opened the season as expected – back-toback losses against ranked opponents and a win over an inferior FCS team. Its schedule through three games didn’t allow for much insight into the team’s identity. On Saturday, in front of 20,952 fans at UB Stadium, the Bulls gave a better look into their potential. Buffalo (2-2) dominated UConn (0-4), 41-12, snapping an eight-game losing streak against the Huskies. The win is also the Bulls’ fourth straight at home, the longest streak in school history. “This was a great win,” said senior cornerback Najja Johnson. “We’ve played these guys the last four years, and to lose the first three times is tough, so it was a good win for our senior class.” It was a substantial transition from the Bulls’ most recent game against Stony Brook two weeks ago, which featured five overtimes and a stagnant Buffalo offense. Buffalo’s 41 points scored were the most against an FBS opponent since Nov. 19, 2011, when it defeated Akron 51-10. Senior running back Branden Oliver rushed 23 times for 90 yards (both season-highs) and a touchdown, and sophomore quarterback Joe Licata threw a career-high three touchdowns. But it was the Bulls’ defense that was the catalyst behind the victory. “Our defense gave us a tremendous amount of opportunities offensively; they just played one heck of a football game,” said head coach Jeff Quinn. “That defensive performance was outstanding.”

The defensive backs were ball hawks and the front seven penetrated the backfield all game. The playmaking came early and often: · On UConn’s opening drive, senior linebacker Adam Redden sacked quarterback Chandler Whitmer, forced and recovered a fumble to set up an eight-yard touchdown for the offense, giving the Bulls a 7-0 lead. · Late in the first quarter, Johnson returned an interception for a touchdown – the first of his career; the Bulls went ahead 14-3. · After a lengthy Huskies drive, senior defensive lineman Beau Bachtelle recorded an eight-yard sack on third down to force a UConn field goal. · Senior defensive end Colby Way blocked a field goal in the second quarter. Johnson recovered it and returned it for 26 yards. The Bulls’ offense capitalized on the turnover and scored
to take a 21-6 lead. · Late in the third, as the Bulls led 31-12, junior cornerback Cortney Lester recorded an interception, which led to a UB field goal. · Sophomore Nick Gilbo recorded his first career interception early in the fourth quarter. By the game’s end, the Bulls’ defense had forced four turnovers and compiled five sacks and nine tackles for loss. In the last two games, the defense has allowed just two touchdowns in regulation. “Our defense loves being on the field,” Redden said. “It doesn’t matter what situation or where the ball is at. We love making plays for the team.” Senior linebacker Khalil Mack had eight tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss – he is now 13.5 shy of tying the all-time NCAA career record. Redden and Bachtelle each had two sacks.
While the defense thrived early to gain some momentum, the offense had totaled just one yard by the first quarter’s end. The second quarter was a different story, as the Buffalo ‘O’ came out and scored a touchdown on back-toback drives. The Bulls established the run early, something they have struggled with this season. They ran the ball 41 times and attempted just 20 passes. “We controlled the ball,” Licata said. “It’s great to turn around and hand the ball to [Oliver]. Our running game [opened up the long passes]. They were worried about [our backs] running the ball, so they gave us some windows to throw the ball.” Licata threw for 177 yards on just 10 completions and had touchdowns of 22 and 36 yards. Senior wide receivers Alex Neutz and Fred Lee each caught
a touchdown pass, and freshman Mason Schrek had his first career touchdown reception in the first quarter. Junior kicker Patrick Clarke nailed two field goals, including a career-long 50-yarder in the third quarter. “We’re not moving backward; we’re heading forward,” Quinn said. “[The players] were very pleased with the win. They celebrate and they were deserving of it but they also understand it’s this game, this moment. Now it’s moving on to the next one.” The Bulls will look to continue their four-game home win streak next week, as they open up MidAmerican Conference play in their homecoming game against Eastern Michigan (1-3, 0-1 MAC). Kickoff is set for noon. Email: sports@ubspectrum.com
UB rededicates Cora P. Maloney College Maloney committed her life to helping students JOE KONZE JR
News Editor
The portrait of a woman in a black suit jacket with a white corsage over her left breast pocket stood on the floor of a dimlit stage, supported by a wooden painter’s easel. In the crowd were community members, looking on to honor a woman who exemplified the history of African-American culture in Buffalo. Each distinguished speaker commemorated her by sharing an anecdote to help describe the life she lived. Her purpose was to build communities in Buffalo and Western New York. Her name? Cora P. Maloney. On Friday afternoon, the University at Buffalo rededicated the Cora. P Maloney College (CPMC), celebrating the life of Maloney and 37 years of assisting urban and inner-city students, and unveiled a new portrait of Maloney in her honor. The CPMC, located in Capen Hall, “provides a combination of services, courses and support for students who come with backgrounds ranging from those of academic distinction to those

On Friday afternoon, UB rededicated the Cora P. Maloney College by unveiling a brand new portrait. Since 1976, the college has provided a combination of services, courses and support for students in inner-city communities.
who come from circumstances of financial and educational disadvantage,” according to the rededication event’s program. Second Deputy Mayor Eileen E. Grant and Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes were in attendance along with other community members. “It meant a lot to me, one, because as an elected official, I was honored to be standing in the shoes of Cora P. Maloney,” Peoples-Stokes said. “And, two, it’s important for the university to
rededicate itself to the mission of the Cora P. Maloney College.” From 1945-59, Maloney, who died in 1961 at the age of 56, spent her time in the Buffalo community as an activist. She was active in numerous area initiatives, including the Community Chest, Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and the American Cancer and American Heart associations. In 1957, Maloney was sworn in as a committeewoman in the Sixth District of the 13th ward
and also made history in the same year being elected as Buffalo’s first councilwoman, the first democrat to ever be elected in the Masten district and the first African-American to be elected to the district in 20 years. In 1976, UB chartered the CPMC in honor of Maloney to create programs to help address the needs of UB students of color and residents of the City of Buffalo. The program creates the connection for non-traditional students to enter a university through the help of academic support and faculty mentor research experiences. “It pleases me that children are getting the opportunity that other children wouldn’t get,” said Laura Bishop, Maloney’s niece. Dr. Keba Rogers, the associate director of Cornell University’s Office of Diversity & Inclusion, received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees and her Ph.D., all at UB, with the help of the CPMC. “I think going through the Cora P. Maloney College is more like a family,” Rogers said. “Being able to have not only academic support but emotional support and people who are truly encouraging you and really wanting you to do what’s best for you
[helps]. I’m doing well because of the Cora P. Maloney family.” The 11 programs that the CPMC harnesses help students experience academics from a community perspective. The college also helps bridge the community and UB, offering internships and partnerships with local organizations. “I had a scope: I started off in the sciences and technologies program on South Campus, which was the high school version of C-Step – the entry program in the science and technology program of CPMC,” said Christine D. Wingo, a senior level engineer at DuPont, who received her bachelor’s from UB in industrial engineering and a minor in African-American Studies before receiving her Master’s in industrial engineering in 2009. “I kind of got an introductory into these areas, but once I got there, I got more involved and dealt with a lot of different people and the programs offered.” The painting will hang inside CPMC’s offices in 208 Capen Hall.

It is virtually a given that part of the thrill some students derive from the college partying scene is a sense of danger. But too often the dangerous practices that accompany partying manifest into disaster. And when people are impacted directly by stark consequences, the danger no longer seems like a thrill; it becomes a regrettable remembrance of a youthful recreation gone awry. With this still being a new academic year and there being plenty of new students at the school, it is essential to review what it means to go out around UB and what is necessary for safety. Many students at UB like to drink and party. And there is nothing wrong with that. There is not enough awareness, however, of the potential ramifications of all that could go wrong from binge drinking in general and going out around South Campus specifically. Binge drinking is widespread amongst universities in America. Forty percent of U.S. college students have engaged in binge drinking in the past two weeks, according to the National Institute of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse.
This is dangerous. Binge drinking consists of consuming five or more drinks in a row for men and four or more in a row for women, according to the University of Rochester Medical Center. Students do this all the time – with the goal of drinking to get drunk. It is also important to note that four or five drinks in a row is a modest night out for some of our peers. People are more susceptible to injury when they reach a certain level of intoxication. The effects of drinking include: dizziness, loss of balance, vomiting, impaired judgment and alcohol poisoning, which can be deadly. Excessive drinking can cause behavioral problems, which make people prone to violence and more willing to engage in sexual activity with partners they otherwise would have preferred to stay clear of. College students should certainly be aware that promiscuous conduct while being inebriated makes one more likely to to contract a sexually transmitted infection. And you don’t want one of those. Not to mention you also subject yourself to the risk of an unintended pregnancy.
But one of the biggest risks is dying of alcohol poisoning. When a large amount of alcohol is consumed in a short span of time, the body is not equipped to process it quickly enough. This results in a high blood alcohol content (BAC) level. We all know a BAC of .8 percent is the legal limit for driving, but high consumption levels of alcohol can cause you more than just legal issues. Having an extremely high BAC can cause your central nervous system to weaken – you can lose consciousness, have respiratory failure and die. And every year, people die because they throw up while they are passed out and choke on their own vomit. Don’t be that person, and don’t go out with someone who will let you be that person. It’s important to surround yourself with friends who care about your welfare and will remind you of your limitations when it’s in your best interest. The ones who really care about you will speak up before you selfdestruct. The message that needs to be emphasized to some students is that you have to be careful around South Campus – especially at
night. Being in the Heights while intoxicated after binge drinking makes you even more susceptible to being a victim of crime. You become exactly who the perpetrators are looking for – a drunk and oblivious college kid. We cannot allow a pervasive state of oblivion to establish itself at this university. Students need to be aware that the dangers of drinking are a reality. Getting drunk and having a good time is one thing. But when you drink to the point of extreme excess and do so in a high-crime area, trouble is practically imminent. Your life may be at stake; your friends’ lives may be at stake. You are ultimately responsible for your choices, and as the years pass, you will ultimately be the one to judge them. As Charlotte Bronte once wrote: “In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.” So when you get ready for your next night out, remember to think whether you would you rather be cautious now or regretful later.

A GLOBAL PRIORITY
United Nations should implement climate change initiative On Friday, leaders from Marshall Islands traveled to the United Nations to make a plea for action on climate change. They know something about climate change. As a low-lying island on the Pacific Ocean, they have seen the effects of recent rises in sea levels. Numerous pictures can be found online of flooded land from high tides and ocean surges. Residents of Marshall Islands live with the impacts of something many choose to ignore. Their testimony and the testimony of the other low-lying nations, who traveled to New York last week, should induce the international community to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that endanger the existence of certain islands. Rise in sea levels have more than immediate negative impacts – it can damage agricultural development that is crucial to these islands’ economies. And isn’t it enough to say we want to preserve the land that people live in?
What we are seeing on these tiny islands on the Pacific Ocean verifies what scientists have been asserting for some time now: that climate change is real and is the result of human activities. And places like Marshall Islands are running out of time. Action needs to be taken now. Countries around the world need to make strong commitments to reducing the emissions levels that are damaging our climate and leaving our grandchildren’s generation to have to suffer the long-term consequences. Failure to act now is nothing short of asinine and irresponsible. Look at what scientists around the world are saying. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists currently predict sea levels to rise as high as 6 feet by 2100 with the current emission levels that are being released. And the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change disclosed a report on Friday that expanded those predictions to an
increase of 10 to 32 inches by the end of the 21st century. We, as a global network, would be remiss in failing to start making changes now when research reveals the possible consequences to be so dire. We are pleased to see that President Obama’s Climate Action Plan consists of concrete initiatives to address this problem. In 2009, he submitted a plan that pledged to reduce America’s greenhouse gas emissions by around 17 percent below the 2005 levels – if “all other major economies agreed to limit their emissions as well.” It can’t be ignored that we are living in a global economy in which competition is tough and healthy, but what also can’t be ignored is the need for nations to come together on this very important issue. Marshall Islands’ testimony on Friday should persuade the rest of the world’s leaders to accept that climate change is a global problem and that it will take a
global effort to combat it. As college students, we should be aware of certain precautions we can take in order to play a part in tackling this issue, such as consistently recycling properly and not driving when we don’t have to. There are also ways to use different products that use less energy. It is important to begin developing good habits now so they become engrained in your behavior, so that what you do for the rest of your life does not contribute to what is damaging planet Earth – the physical space we inhabit and share with other human beings. It is time everyone takes ownership of climate change and works to contribute in combating it. The U.N. should approve this initiative and we, the general public, should take some initiative, too.

LIFE, ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Randy Houser shows UB What’s your favorite color? how country feels UB Athletics Tailgate Concert Series aims to bring music diversity
ALYSSA MCCLURE
Asst. Features Editor Chad Cooper, The Spectrum
On Saturday, students gathered in the stadium lot to see Randy Houser (far right, with mic) for the second UB Athletics Tailgate Concert Series event. These shows have been a hit with students, and attendance at football games has been significantly higher than usual this year.
OWEN O’BRIEN Sports Editor
On Saturday, UB’s stadium lot was filled with red solo cup-holding students who ditched their usual tailgating attire of neon pinnies and stunna shades for cowboy hats and boots. Judging by the students’ reaction, it’s a change they could get used to. Randy Houser headlined the second show of UB Athletics’ Tailgate Concert Series before the football team’s showdown with Connecticut Saturday. Students who often skip both football games and Student Association events flooded the parking lot to hear country hits like “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight” and “How Country Feels.” “[SA] thinks they are pleasing the majority of the campus with rap [at Fall Fest and Spring Fest], but they should have at least one
concert with country,” said senior psychology major Nicole Egan. “This was much more fun than a rap concert.” The concert series is a way for UB to expand its audience to those who may not have attended a game before. The variety of genres of music attracts new fans, old alumni and students who usually aren’t interested in the football team. “This will probably be the only football game I’m going to [this year] and it’s because of Randy Houser,” said senior exercise science major Bre Cragg. The concert series has already been linked to rising attendance at games. Buffalo’s opening game had the third-highest attendance in UB Stadium history (24,014). Saturday’s game against Connecticut had just below 21,000 in attendance. The UB Stadium crowd’s intensity appeared to reach a new
level when Houser played his most recent No. 1 hit, “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight,” about halfway through the show. When Houser hit the first note, his fans knew what was coming and began belting out the lyrics. Houser did a great job involving the crowd, often pointing the microphone to the them to sing some of the most popular lines. “The atmosphere was better than I expected,” said senior aero engineering major Matt Butler. “There were more country fans here than I anticipated.” Out of the four concerts, Associate AD/Corporate & Strategic Partnerships executive Todd Garzarelli said this was the one concert geared the most toward students. Garzarelli said UB Athletics made it a priority to bring in at least one well-known country act back in April and May when it was targeting artists to perform. See tailgate, page 6
Usually, I talk non-stop when I go to the mall, vocalizing the visions of potential new shoe purchases and piles of comfy sweaters dancing in my head. But at the Walden Galleria mall this past Sunday, I was quiet. I was nervous and hyperaware of everyone around me, though I was not antisocial. I spoke, but not with my voice. I used my hands. Sunday marked the kickoff event of Buffalo Deaf Awareness week, held in the courtyard near the Apple Store at the Walden Galleria. Deaf Adult Services of Buffalo and the Buffalo deaf community, including UB’s American Sign Language (ASL) club, gathered to mark the beginning of a week-long celebration of deaf culture and community. As I approached the group of deaf community members and watched young children signing at what seemed like lightning speed, I frantically recalled the limited amount of ASL words and phrases I have learned in my ASL 101 class this semester at UB. I kept coming back to one question we had practiced over and over in class, a question I felt I could sign pretty well: What’s your favorite color? I prayed I wouldn’t need to re-
sort to asking my new acquaintances whether they liked blue or purple. Though I was terrified I wouldn’t be able to carry on a conversation beyond spelling my name, I swallowed the ball of fear in my throat. I took a deep breath, walked up to the table and waved hello. At first I was embarrassed. I didn’t know some of the signs to ask or how to answer basic questions, such as “How are you?” I felt like I kept injecting awkward pauses into the conversation. But every person I introduced myself to was very understanding. They were welcoming and accommodating and slowed down and repeated themselves when I signed that I didn’t understand or didn’t catch what they had signed. Three fellow ASL students and I participated in a mini sign language lesson at the event along with other community members. Our two instructors, Evy and Philip, seemed impressed with how much we already knew. In the session, we were able to introduce ourselves, sign numbers and colors and learn distinctions like teacher versus student and man versus woman. I had never interacted with any members of the deaf community before, except for my professor. While it was intimidating, it was also humbling that community members with such advanced skills were more than willing to interact with me, given my limited sign language skills. I now understand that interacting with the deaf community not only allows you to practice signing skills but also helps to build your confidence. See ASL, page 6

Prisoners of darkness Villeneuve’s new film is impressive work of depth ERIC CORTELLESSA
Opinion Editor
Film: Prisoners Release Date: Sept. 20 Studio: Warner Brothers Grade: A The first shot is of bare, grey, cold woods covered in snow. The camera begins to zoom back from a placid image of a deer as we hear the Lord’s Prayer being recited until the image is positioned in the center of the frame between the two heads of a father and son pointing a gun at it. When the prayer is finished, they shoot the deer and it collapses to its death. The father then tells his son the most important lesson his grandfather ever taught him was to “be ready.” The drab and desolate landscape of rural Pennsylvania is where Dennis Villeneuve’s latest film, Prisoners, is set – where it is tradition for fathers to train their sons to become hunters, and where a sense of human tragedy hides in plain sight. This movie captures the soul of emotional terror in a way that goes beyond simple notions of realism – it is a stylized expression of psychological complexity. Written by Aaron Guzikowski and shot by British cinematographer Roger Deakins, the film accomplishes an inherent sense of collaborative effort that contributes to its well-executed conveyance of discordant lives brought together by an emergency. Once Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman, Les Misérables) and his son, Ralph (Dylan Minnette, Save Me) kill the deer, they return home before their family goes to the house of their friends, their neighbors, for Thanksgiving dinner. And Dover proudly brings his latest hunting conquest as his

contribution to the group’s meal. Each of the families has sixyear-old girls: Anna Dover and Joy Birch. As the meal is being prepared, they go for a walk outside with Ralph and they begin to climb on a parked RV until Ralph realizes someone is in there. He directs them back inside. The meal is carefree until it all goes wrong. Franklin Birch (Terrence Howard, The Butler) plays the trumpet and takes requests with his wife Nancy (Viola Davis, Beautiful Creatures) alongside him, acting playfully embarrassed. Mrs. Dover (Maria Bello, Grown Ups 2) suggests he play something by Bruce Springsteen; because Keller loves him much so much he even used to dress like him. In the film, Jackson looks a little bit like Springsteen when he had a goatee after he split up with the E Street Band – a period Springsteen notes for its turbulence and sense of mental unease. He’s called it his “lost period.” But the invocation is a tender reminder that this story is taking place amidst the kind workingclass life and yearning for escape
that Springsteen has sung about. And what’s about to happen next is a catastrophe inside this widespread form of American life. As the adults are playing carelessly in the living room, the girls wander about. When the adults begin to notice the girls’ absence, Keller starts to look around. First, he checks the whole house, then the neighborhood. Soon, Ralph tells him about the RV. When they go to check on it, the RV is gone. They then realize this is no coincidence – the girls are, too. Jake Gyllenhaal (End of Watch) plays Loki, an adept local detective. He is intense and methodical; he is driven by a sense of obsession. A police unit locates the RV and Loki makes the arrest of Alex Jones (Paul Dano, Looper) – a half-witted young man with an unfortunate past. He has the IQ of a 10-year-old. But there is no evidence of the girls. Two days later, Loki has to let him go. For Keller, this necessity of legality is tantalizingly insufficient. There is strong reason to believe Jones knows where Anna is. And Keller, a man deluged with a sense of aggression, takes it

upon himself to get real answers. One night, while Jones is walking his aunt’s dog, Keller abducts him at gunpoint and takes him to an abandoned building. He thinks he can torture him to the point of cooperation. What ensues is beyond an exploration into the efficacy of Keller’s method – which runs parallel to Loki’s investigative work, and occupies one of the main storylines of this intricate, multifaceted narrative; the film becomes an examination of ethics, a meditation on the nature of humanity, a reflection of what kind of behavior people are capable of when in pain. It’s about what happens to moral values in the face of emotional crisis. Technically, the film is superlatively executed. Villeneuve and Deakins play to angling every shot so we consider the angles of perspective in question. As we consider each possibility, the camera imposes a distinct attention to framing as each character frames his or her own story and moral decisions. And every image in the frame is in super-sharp focus, and it prompts you to think, thematically, what’s in focus, and what isn’t. Certainly, Keller makes us ponder the philosophical conundrum: Does the end justify the means? Everything is carried by an eerie score, and happens amidst dreary, moist physical surfaces. Deakins, perhaps best known for his collaboration with the Coen brothers, has become a master of shooting stark landscapes. The photography is an invocation to the meaning of the film’s title: everyone involved is a prisoner of their own darkness. Gyllenhaal really gives a stellar performance and is beginning to show he can deliver these less-ismore type roles. He’s bound by
fidelity to his own code, which only he knows. And Jackman finally seems able to exert explosion without being overemphatic. He’s harnessed the kind of rage central to an American machismo mentality. It comes when you can’t control what you desperately feel you need to: your own destiny, and that of your family. Prisoners is the kind of masterful thriller that rarely comes out of the American cinema. One that has a feeling of unfolding revelation, where solving the mystery is not viewer’s main concern – the content is in the details. But here the mystery is engaging and it doesn’t end up tied together in a conclusive knot, but in a tapestry of nightmare realism. With Villeneuve and Deakins, the camera is the eye of consciousness. Its presence in the lives of these characters leaves you thinking not whether they are all prisoners of some kind, but leaves you questioning what kind they all are. Email: arts@ubspectrum.com

HOUSE Party sweeps on-campus SA Senate elections
Opponent alleges he was wronged The HOUSE Party swept the Student Association Senate elections on Thursday. A total of 593 votes were cast. The new on-campus senators – Allen Liu, Daniel Giles, Anthony Field, Laura Grassi, Alana Barricks and Tryceena Gordon – who represent the HOUSE (Honoring Our Undergrad Student Expenses) Party, won the six available positions. Elad Eliahu, the only other candidate, needed 34 additional votes to secure a seat. Eliahu said the HOUSE Party and the Student-Wide Judiciary (SWJ) wronged him during the election, which ran from Tuesday to Thursday. Eliahu issued a complaint to SWJ early in the week alleging HOUSE Party candidates wrote false allegations against him on their Facebook page, stating he was never in SA clubs, according to Eliahu. He also complained that during the election, HOUSE
Party members told students in the Student Union not to vote for him. SWJ issued a penalty to the HOUSE Party on Thursday, which mandated that members stay off the floor of the Union for 60 minutes, but when the penalty was enforced, there wasn’t enough time left in the election for members to serve the full penalty. HOUSE members stayed off the floor for 40 minutes instead of 60, according to Eliahu. Eliahu worries the remaining 20 minutes he was “cheated of ” could have altered the election results. Chad Hladki, the Elections and Credentials (E&C) Chair, and Student-Wide Judiciary representatives did not respond to The Spectrum’s requests for comment by the time of press.

Knowing that he’s going to fly around – we have a couple plays together where I go inside and he takes the edge – having his energy, I like to thrive off that.” As I mentioned, Redden isn’t playing a defined position – he plays linebacker sometimes and safety others. The Bulls do this so they have an edge rusher to complement Mack’s speed, but Redden, at 6-foot-1, 200 pounds, isn’t built like a full-time linebacker. He is simply a playmaker and a hitter who needs to be on the field. “He’s loving the role and responsibilities that he has, and he’s gaining a lot of confidence so he can go out there and compete at the highest level and help this team succeed,” Quinn said. UConn finished with 39 rushes for 27 yards, and the Buffalo ‘D’ dominated the game. He might not get much publicity, but Redden was as big of a factor as anyone in the Bulls’ performance Saturday – and he deserves to savor those wings.
Between the Party at the Point and the pregame concerts, Athletic Director Danny White and UB are looking to grow the tailgating environment around the football team. “People were excited,” Garzarelli said. “People were talking about it. I can tell you this: A lot of people came to UB for the first time last home game because of the concert series.” Houser left the crowd craving more when he played his first No. 1 hit, “How Country Feels,” to close out the show. Following about 30 seconds of applause, Houser and his band came back out to close the show with “Whistlin’ Dixie.” “It was the best concert I’ve ever been to,” Butler said. UB Athletics looks to build on the early attendance boost for the remainder of the season. Next week features twotime Grammy winner Kool & the Gang, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy will close out the concert series on Oct. 19. “There is really entertainment value out now,” Garzarelli said. “It’s more of an event than just a game.”
The International Week of the Deaf is held the last full week of September, according to the World Federation of the Deaf. Its website notes that this year’s theme was “Equality for the Deaf.” WKBW News 7 covered Sunday’s event, where Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz, in addition to other elected officials, was in attendance. My parents called me Sunday night to say they had seen me signing at the event on the evening news. Though my mall trip that day was daunting and a little stressful, I was proud of the outcome. I had been able to carry on a conversation on my first venture outside of the walls of Baldy 117. And I didn’t even need to ask, “What’s your favorite color?”

Gridiron Report Card The Spectrum grades the Bulls after 41-12 win over UConn Special Teams: A The Good: Sophomore punter Tyler Grassman looked superb in his first game on kickoff duty, forcing six touchbacks. Junior kicker Patrick Clarke had two field goals from 49 and 50 yards. The 50-yarder was a career best. Also, sophomore running back Devin Campbell had a 51yard kickoff return and averaged over 30 yards per return. The Bad: Clarke missed two field goals and Grassman kicked the ball out of bounds on kickoffs twice. Neutz also muffed a punt return but recovered the ball.
Passsing Game: B+ The Good: Sophomore quarterback Joe Licata had three touchdown passes, a career-high, and spread the ball around with four receivers having at least two receptions. The Bad: Licata threw a forced ball downfield in the third quarter that resulted in an interception, the Bulls’ only turnover of the game. Run Game: AThe Good: Senior running back Branden Oliver finally looked like the player we remember from two seasons ago, rushing for 90 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries. Junior running back James Potts looked strong as well, rushing for 38 yards. The Bad: Oliver averaged only 3.9 yards per carry and the run game didn’t get going until the second quarter. Despite finally breaking off some big runs, there were too many rushes that didn’t go anywhere. Receiving: B+ The Good: Senior receiver Alex Neutz had a 54-yard reception and a touchdown catch. Senior receiver Fred Lee also caught his first touchdown pass of the season. The Bad: Neutz had a drop at UConn’s goal line, though the pass was slightly behind him. The receivers had trouble getting separation against the UConn secondary, resulting in only
CHAD COOPER, THE SPECTRUM
Senior wide receiver Alex Neutz (19) returns a punt during Buffalo’s game against UConn on Saturday. Neutz returned two punts for 24 yards and a long of 22 yards. He also had two receptions for 76 yards and a touchdown.
10 receptions and no short gains. Offensive line: A The Good: The running game finally broke out against an FBS opponent and Licata didn’t get sacked. The Bad: This has nothing to do with their play, but junior Dillon Guy didn’t play because of an injury suffered in practice earlier in the week. Although sophomore Robert Blodgett filled in nicely today, this could really hurt the Bulls down the stretch.
Run Defense: A The Good: The Huskies had a net of 27 yards on 39 rushes. UConn’s offense was frustrated into forcing balls through the air. The Bad: A few times in the first half, UConn broke off consecutive five- and six-yard gains, allowing them to move down the field with ease. The Bulls also allowed a rushing touchdown. Pass Rush: A The Good: The Bulls had five sacks and seven quarterback hits, plus nine TFLs.
The Bad: A few times, the pass rush wasn’t able to get to the quarterback, which allowed for a couple long completions. Pass Defense: B+ The Good: The Bulls had three interceptions from three separate players and held quarterback Chandler Whitmer to fewer than 200 yards passing and no touchdowns. The Bad: UConn was able to throw downfield against the Bulls on multiple occasions, most notably 34- and 49-yard receptions.
Coaching: AThe Good: The Bulls outplayed the Huskies in every phase of the game and it seemed like every player on both sides of the ball contributed. The Bad: There was poor clock management at the end of the first half, when the Bulls could’ve had a good opportunity to put up some last-second points. The offense got too conservative too quickly, and an opponent with a better offense could have taken advantage of it. The offense needs to get off to a faster start against Eastern Michigan.

Quick Impassioned Redden helps Hits Bulls shut down UConn Volleyball After losing against two nationally ranked teams in backto-back games, the Bulls (13-2, 1-1 Mid-American Conference) capped off Saturday night with their first conference win of the season. Buffalo dropped a match to No. 22 Ohio (12-2, 2-0 MAC), 3-1, on Friday but recovered Saturday, defeating Kent State (7-7, 1-1 MAC), 3-1. “We have players in critical situations able to step up and make plays when we need it,” said head coach Todd Kress. “When you can get contributions from different people as a team and your backs are up against a wall, that’s a positive step forward.” Women’s soccer The women’s soccer team dropped a pair of 1-0 contests this weekend at UB Stadium to open up Mid-American Conference play. The Bulls (3-4-2, 0-2 MAC) lost to Ball State (6-2-1, 1-0 MAC) on Friday and Miami Ohio (4-6, 1-1 MAC) Sunday afternoon. “It’s tough because these past few games we’ve played some really good soccer,” said head coach Michael Thomas. “To come out and put that kind of effort out on the field and not get the result is disheartening.” The Bulls hit the road for their next game when they face Toledo (3-6, 0-1 MAC) in pursuit of their first conference win of the season. Men’s soccer The men’s soccer team will enter Mid-American Conference play next weekend with just one win on the season. The Bulls (1-6-3) lost both games this weekend – on Friday to Cornell (6-0-2), 1-0, and to Robert Morris (4-3-2) on Sunday, 3-1. Sophomore forward Nicolay Netskar had Buffalo’s lone goal on the weekend. This week, the Bulls will face Bowling Green (1-4-4, 0-1 MAC) at home on Friday.
Hard-hitting safety/linebacker leads ‘D’ to dominance
AARON MANSFIELD Editor in Chief
Jeff Quinn remembers the first time he walked into St. Francis High School to meet Adam Redden. Redden told him, “Coach, you’re a passionate, intense guy. So am I.” Ask UConn after Saturday’s game – “passionate” and “intense” are vast understatements to describe Redden. Buffalo won, 41-12, thanks largely to the senior playing a hybrid safety/ linebacker position. He told me in August that he had worked most during the summer on controlling his attitude. I was confused. Usually guys say they have worked most on something like “strength” or “speed.” Controlling his attitude? What exactly does that mean? I found out early this year that Redden has a mean streak that would make Lawrence Taylor blush. See a couple players mixing it up on the field after a play is over? It’s almost a guarantee that Redden is involved. “That’s what you love about players that play with that kind of passion, that intensity, that mental toughness,” Quinn said. “He has it.” Quinn was quick to point out in his post-game press conference that it was Redden’s sack and forced fumble, which he also recovered, on UConn’s first
drive that “set the tone” for the Bulls to earn their first win over Connecticut since 2001. Redden, too, felt the surge of momentum. “That big play gave us momentum and we just took over,” said Redden, who finished with five tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, two sacks and the forced fumble and recovery. He was all over the field. It was his second straight dominant game, after having 17 tackles against Stony Brook Sept. 14. Redden made what would seem to be a foolish bet with senior linebacker Khalil Mack before Saturday’s game – if Redden had more sacks against UConn, Mack had to buy him chicken wings; and if Mack (the AllAmerican who is also the alltime program leader in sacks) had more sacks, Redden had to cut his hair. Mack had one sack. Redden is planning on getting his wings at Kelly’s Korner in Buffalo. Mack cuts hair, too, but Redden isn’t bashful in claiming his title as the best barber on the team. When he attended local St. Francis High School, students weren’t allowed to have facial hair. He kept his face smooth with an old-school barber’s razor. When he came to UB for his first minicamp, guys on the team needed haircuts. He decided to put his shaving skills to new use, and he said he now cuts around 25-30 heads per week, including those of coaches. Funny: the guy with the maddest edge on the field gives edgeups off of it. Redden might be silky smooth in his barber skills, but he is fiercely rough in his on-the-field persona. UConn wide receiver Deshon Foxx found that out

in the third quarter, when Cortney Lester picked off a pass and Redden absolutely leveled Foxx on the ensuing run back. The hit was worthy of SportsCenter’s Top Plays. Redden was called for unnecessary roughness on what looked to be a clean block – it was just that crazy of a collision. “I take pride in those hits,” Redden said. “I take a lot of pride in that.” He said he wasn’t trying to hurt Foxx, who stayed on the field for a minute as he was ex-
amined by medical staff. “I was taught when the DB picks off the ball, find the receiver you were guarding and go block him,” Redden said. “So my thought was, go block him, and why not make it look good, too?” Senior defensive tackle Beau Bachtelle said it’s fair to call Redden the craziest guy on the team. “Absolutely,” Bachtelle said. “On the field, yeah. That kid’s a headhunter … I love having him on my side of the ball. SEE REDDEN, PAGE 6
