Students, community members volunteer with Habitat for Humanity to build homes

By KAYLA BLACK Staff Writer

E

very year during Welcome Week, many Texas Tech students gather to help build homes with Habitat for Humanity, an international Christian based organization that helps build houses all over the world.

This week, students were tasked with helping with a few of the finishing touches of a home that began construction last year.

This new home has been given to the parents of three children.

Often, Habitat homes are given to larger families in need of a place to stay, or single parent households where either the mother or father is struggling to stay afloat.

Cameron Collins, the volunteer coordinator, said there is a misconception that Habitat for Humanity gives away homes for free.

There are three qualifications applicants must meet: there must be a

need for a home; the family must be willing to partner with Habitat for Humanity, giving 500 hours of sweat equity, which includes volunteering to work on houses for other families, working in the organization’s construction and home décor restores, participating in classroom workshops which consists of establishing credit, maintaining credit, repairing credit and home maintenance.

Red Raiders look forward after strong start to season

System names 2 vice chancellors

By SAMUEL MEDLIN Staff Writer

The Texas Tech soccer team looks forward to continuing its hot streak against the Abilene Christian University Wildcats. The Red Raiders started off the 2018 season with three wins. The first win came against the University of New Mexico, the second against the No. 18 ranked team in the nation, Pepperdine, and the third against San Diego State.

In the first home game of the season against UNM, the Red Raiders took home a 2-0 win, according to Tech Athletics. Freshman forward Charlotte Teeter scored the first goal of her collegiate career to put Tech up 1-0 over UNM in the 31st minute of the match.

The game was tied together by junior Jade King, who successfully netted a penalty kick in the 58th minute to close out the match. King is coming off an injury-riddled 2017 season that limited her to only 12 in-game appearances, according to Tech Athletics.

The Texas Tech University System has named Eric D. Bentley as the vice chancellor and general counsel for the system and Billy BENTLEY Breedlove as the vice chancellor for facilities planning and construction.

Breedlove started his appointment immediately, and Bentley will begin Sept. 10.

Breedlove joined the TTU System in 2010 serving as the associate vice chancellor of operations, risk management and quality assurance. Since March, Breedlove has served as the interim vice chancellor for FP&C. Breedlove will have a team of 30 professionals overseeing all capital improvement projects greater than $2 million at the TTU System, according to a Tech news release.

“I am thankful and honored for the opportunity to lead an incredibly talented, hardworking and professional FP&C team,” Breedlove said in the news release. “I appreciate the confidence Chancellor Duncan has placed in me and I look forward to working with him and our uni-

versity leadership teams in developing and maintaining our beautiful campuses and meeting the needs of our growing institutions.”

BREEDLOVE After working for the University of Houston System for 15 years in the office of the general counsel, Bentley will join the TTU system to provide legal counsel to the system and its component institutions, according to the news release. Bentley will also coordinate institutional compliance and oversee legal teams at each university.

“It is a tremendous honor to be selected as vice chancellor and general counsel of the Texas Tech University System and join a firstclass university system,” Bentley said in the news release. “I am truly grateful to the system administration and the Board of Regents for putting their confidence in me to serve in this important role. I look forward to working with the dynamic leadership at all four universities and the system administration, along with a talented team in the office of general counsel.” @MattSetzekornDT

TTUHSC president takes over as interim chancellor

By NATHAN NEEDHAM Copy Editor

The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center President Dr. Tedd Mitchell addressed the media on Tuesday, Aug. 21, after the TTU System Board of Regents voted unanimously to appoint him as interim chancellor the previous day.

Mitchell, who has served as the president of TTUHSC since 2010, will become interim chancellor on Sept. 1. He immediately said Tech has faced troublesome matters.

“Texas Tech has had challenges in the past and last week is no exception of that,” Mitchell said.

He broke the ice with an anecdote about a football game he witnessed while in college where the star quarterback was pulled for unknown reasons during a pivotal time. However, the team wins the game, even with upset fans and a disgruntled quarterback on the sideline Concluding the anecdote, Mitchell described how he believed the team went on to win the game.

“The only way that that

“By the time they get in a Habitat house, they are financially responsible and ready to be responsible homeowners,” Collins said.

There are many ways Habitat for Humanity can make these homes affordable for future families, Collins said. The construction and home décor restores are similar to thrift stores in regards to donations and help bring in income.

Citizens, businesses, construction companies, corporate sponsors or anyone who has anything to donate can send their items to these stores. The store

team wound up winning that football game was to focus on the goal line, not the sideline,” Mitchell said.

Relating the anecdote to Tech, Mitchell described how the people of the Tech system fall into the football stadium.

“In our situation right now, this is what we have going on,” he said. “We have in our stands 53,000 students that are all watching us in the Tech system. We got 300,000 plus alumni in the stands that are watching us right now.

We got thousands of staff and faculty members that are watching us right now.

We got countless donors, we got countless community members that are all watching to see what we are doing right now. And with our team, we have a great team of people. We have great presidents, we got great support teams, we got a great group of people doing this. But our focus on our side is 100 percent on the goal-line. And the goalline for us is the upcoming legislative session. We got some great priorities that we have to focus on that’s what it is about for us. We

cannot remain focused on the goal-line if we are paying attention to yelling on the side-line.”

With eyes on the Tech system as the legislative session in January gets closer, Mitchell said he believes it is imperative to pay attention to time and stay focused on the goal.

“Time for us is of the essence because the upcoming legislative session is just around the corner. So, our goal is to drive home our priorities as a system,” Mitchell said. “But we are not going to be prepared for the legislative session if we, on our team, the people on the field, get pulled off to the side and get bogged down in things that don’t matter to us right now.”

The Tech system will continue efforts in the next legislative session to establish the Woody L. Hunt School of Dental Medicine in El Paso, the Texas Tech Mental Health Institute and the School of Veterinarian Medicine in Amarillo.

“We will charge relentlessly in this next session to get a School of Medical Dentistry for the El Paso

Health Science Center there, we will charge relentlessly to get a Texas Tech Mental Health Institute for TTU and for the Health Sciences Center, and we will charge relentlessly to get a college of veterinarian medicine in Amarillo for TTU. Why? Because the people of this region need it desperately and they need our help to do that,” Mitchell said. “So, our goal is to prepare for and drive home our legislative session starting in January.”

After Chancellor Robert Duncan announced his retirement on Aug. 13, the Board of Regents began their search for an interim chancellor. Mitchell said he was notified on Aug. 16 that he was one of many individuals the Board of Regents was considering for the interim position.

“Well, I was first told that I was on a list about it on Thursday before their meeting on Monday. I got a call saying we got, I think a list of 12 names, and we are going to discuss them all and on Monday, then we are going to make a decision,” said Mitchell.

Mitchell has served the

then sells these items, and with the profit, Habitat for Humanity can buy materials needed for homes such as bricks, shingles, sheet rock, tools, and other items necessary for construction.

The biggest expense for building a home is labor.

Collins said the help of volunteers, both experienced and inexperienced, contribute to the success of watching the cost of labor for building a house.

Ti f f a n y M a t t h e w s , a Tech alumna, received her degree in structural engineering and architecture in May 2017. She is now an architectural intern for Habitat for Humanity and began working on this home in July.

“This is for some experience and to get my foot in the door,” Matthews said.

With hundreds of volunteers, not all of them are Tech students. Many come from churches, corporate sponsors, banks or even individuals who have taken interest.

Ron West, a retired citizen in Lubbock, has volunteered with Habitat for Humanity for three years.

“Men and women of all ages, we get out there and build homes,” West said.

For a lot of specialized areas such as electric, air conditioning, plumbing and the laying of cement, West said subcontractors will often volunteer or Habitat for Humanity will hire a company to do the job professionally.

“But as far as constructing the walls out of wood and standing them up, we do that,” West said.

Tohi Betenbough, the construction coordinator for this new home, has been working on it for two months. Betenbough oversees all the construction aspects such as picking up tools, materials, coordinating and organizing subcontractors and overseeing any volunteers.

Betenbough said it takes about a year for Habitat to finish homes. Her family builds homes in the Lubbock area, and she was referred to work on this new home a couple of months ago. “(The family) is great,” she said. “All of the homeowners are great. They’re excited about a new home, they’ve been working with us and now we’re getting down to the last stuff, the fun stuff.” @KaylaBlackDT

Tech system for over eight years and made a close connection with Chancellor Duncan.

“Bob Duncan is a dear friend of mine and Bob Duncan is loved by people out here,” Mitchell said. “He has done great things for the system, he has done great things for the state. He loves Texas Tech.”

After the Board of Regents issued a 5-4 informal vote in no-confidence, according to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, many supporters of Duncan were confused as to why the retirement release came without much information.

As of today, over 2,500 people have signed a petition to have five of the regents removed from their positions, according to the petition found on change.org.

“We respectfully ask Governor Abbott to immediately begin proceedings to remove these five tainted regents and appoint five that will hold the interests of Texas Tech University above all personal and political calculations,” the petition states.

With all the controversy behind the departure of

Duncan, Mitchell said he carries no knowledge of what transpired during the Board of Regents meeting, and it will not impact what is planned for the impending legislative session.

“There are a lot of conversations that people are having about things that I wasn’t privy to, the presidents weren’t privy to, I don’t know what was said, it is not going to impact what we want to do for the legislative session, and if somebody wants to ask questions about what is going on with all that, they need to be asking the quarterback and the coaches on the sideline. They do not need to be asking the team on the field. We are the team on the field,” Mitchell said.

Stepping in as interim chancellor after what some feel was an impassioned separation from Duncan, Mitchell said he plans to keep things going in a positive direction.

“Is it a little more sensitive now? Sure. Is it any different, what we need to do?

No. It is not,” Mitchell said. @NathanNeedhamDT

College of Media & Communication introduces new degree

By EMMA SIPPLE Staff Writer

After two years of planning, the College of Media & Communication added digital media and professional communications as a major.

“The college looked at all the changes in the industries for media and communication, companies looking for college graduates who had a different skill set with multiple hats,” Todd Chambers, associate dean for undergraduate affairs ,said. “We were missing an interdisciplinary program.”

The program to address the need of employers became digital media and professional communications.

“If you look at employer surveys both in the state of Texas and nationwide, communication skills are always in the top three, but skill sets that might be in digital media or digital media related, or a desire for employees to know about digital media analytics or just about digital media, are becoming more requested,” Chambers said.

In the history of the college, the school had more

traditional programs; advertising, journalism, electronic media and public relations.

“We have a strong communications studies program here at Texas Tech, and adding that program into our college has really highlighted another opportunity to provide students with an interdisciplinary approach to our college,” Chambers said. “This degree program allows students to take courses from each branch of our major areas, which will allow them a lot of different career pathways and options.”

With an interdisciplinary focus the major is expected to help students gain an edge in the job market through a diverse skill set.

“One of the things we saw during the research for the proposal is that while there are other interdisciplinary programs in the state of Texas, there are none quite like this one,” Chambers said. “So that makes us a standalone program that really provides students with a mix of media and communication courses.”

Students such as Jesseca Adams, a freshman from Harker Heights, hope to

find new opportunities with the major.

“It included all aspects of MCOM that I was interested, like advertising, professional communications and social media,” Adams said. “It gave me a wide variety to pick from for my future job.”

In addition to the new major, the college changed the name of electronic media and communications to creative media industries.

“One of the factors was the observation in the fact that the EMC had lived out its name,” Robert Peaslee, associate professor of journalism and electronic media, said. “We got feedback from alumni, industry professionals and students about the jobs you would get with an EMC degree and many didn’t understand the term. It was a red flag at the recruiting office where the parents and students didn’t know what the term was. We had to make sure high school students were attracted to the program and we had to make sure employers had an accurate sense of the major.”

The college created a community in the depart-

ment to brainstorm ideas for a new name last semester.

“We wanted an emphasis on storytelling, film, photo and design,” Peaslee said.

“The goal was to prepare students to create things in the workplace.”

Along with the name change, classes in the major were changed as well.

“There were problems with the EMC extracurricular path. It offered a menu-style elective choice, so you could really pick and choose. The students who took extracurriculars to bolster their portfolios at graduation had bursting portfolios and job offers.

The students who avoided those extracurriculars with lecture-based classes didn’t build a network and were adrift in the program at graduation,” Peaslee said.

The three new upper level classes would place more focus on creating content for portfolios and an emphasis on the commercial side of building a brand.

“The new junior level course, communications practice in creative media industries, teaches you how to be a producer. The senior portfolio and professional

Multiple dead in Jacksonville shooting JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A gunman opened fire Sunday during an online video game tournament that was being livestreamed from a Florida mall, killing multiple people and sending many others to hospitals, authorities said.

The Jacksonville Sheriff ’s Office did not immediately confirm the number of dead at the Jacksonville Landing, a collection of restaurants and shops along the St. Johns River.

But a source close to the investigation said four people were killed and the gunman died from a selfinflicted gunshot wound.

The source spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to release information.

Sheriff Mike Williams said authorities had yet to identify the suspect who attacked the video football tournament, which was held in a gaming bar that shares space with a pizzeria. Viewers could watch the games online and see the players.

McCain family to have 2 services WASHINGTON (AP) — Two former presidents are expected to speak at Sen. John McCain’s service and he will lie in state in both the nation’s capital and Arizona as part of a cross-country funeral procession ending with his burial at the U.S. Naval Academy, according to plans taking shape Sunday.

A day after McCain died of brain cancer at 81, his family, friends and congressional and state leaders were working out details of the farewell to the decorated Vietnam War hero, prisoner of war and six-term senator.

His office website said

McCain will lie in state and have funeral services in Arizona on Wednesday and Thursday. The procession will then head to Washington, where McCain will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda.

A private funeral is planned at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, who blocked McCain’s own White House ambitions, are among those expected to speak at McCain’s funeral.

McCain died at his Arizona ranch after a yearlong battle with brain cancer.

A black hearse, accompa-

nied by a police motorcade, could be seen driving away from the ranch near Sedona where McCain spent his final weeks. For 50 miles along Interstate 17 southbound, on every overpass and at every exit ramp, people watched the procession. Hundreds, including many waving American flags, parked their cars and got out to watch.

Arizona will accord McCain that honor on Wednesday, when he would have turned 82. “This is a rare and distinct occurrence for a truly special man,” GOP Gov. Doug Ducey said in a tweet.

to himself while on military campaigns abroad. We know of these collective works today as Meditations, and they are full of meaningful advice for the thoughtful soul.

In writing advice to their children, most people would probably express their love and encouragement. They may provide practical advice, like getting to bed early and eating three square meals a day, dealing with heartbreak and staying in school.

Aurelius ruled alongside his son, Commodus, for three years until passing in the year 180. Choosing his successor as co-emperor was a wise move, but Commodus is unfortunately known to history as a failure. British historian John Anthony Crook wrote that, despite the wide criticism Marcus Aurelius would receive for his succession plan, “If [Aurelius] had not made Commodus his successor, he would have had to order him to be put to death,” according to britannica.com.

Aurelius thus faced a dilemma: Name his own blood as his successor, or sacrifice his

son at the altar of patriotism.

For the civically minded Emperor Aurelius, this was likely not an easy choice to make.

Maybe you feel you aren’t qualified to give such advice.

You’re no Aurelius, after all.

“Who am I to preach to my kids?” The idea of mapping out your value system is new and daunting, if not altogether terrifying. You’re only a college freshman, junior or whatever, and you’re more concerned with the day to day than changing pace for self-reflection.

I want to be clear: This exercise isn’t about writing a Buzzfeed-esque, Top-10 Life Hacks to your hypothetical children. That would not even be worth writing about.

A letter like this is a useful way to externalize your values and principles and scrutinize them. A cursory search online reveals that many others before me have taken to this method. It is easier to put your world view on paper when it’s meant for someone

else, especially someone so important as your own kin.

So, to my children: 1. Seek wisdom. Proverbs 3:35. You will need all the help you can get with this.

The Bible can provide all the practical knowledge you need to walk in a straight path. Inform that knowledge by experiencing nature. You may also read from the revered philosophers of the past, and teachers present, but take heed of their fates in life. In all things, let the mistakes of others instruct you. History, if read carefully, is a book of lessons.

2. History repeats itself and you are a part of that cycle. Athens came before Rome, Rome came before Venice, Venice came before London, London came before Philadelphia.

3. Truth is not relative.

The essential human nature is immutable. No two value systems are created equal, and imperiousness is never a friend to wisdom. Taoism, Stoicism, Mohism, et. al.; learn from these, but know that dogma is worse than

unknowable. Roads to ruin are often paved with ostensibly good intentions. In a general sense, respect the inalienability of foreign cultures in foreign lands. Clean your room, actualize yourself, before you fight any demons in the world.

4. In financial matters, never spend more than you have to. Invest, and invest early, but only in moderation: Reward takes risk, and risk sometimes involves sacrifice. Low maintenance, resource rich land is the soundest investment.

5. Home is where family is. You have family in two realms. Exercise good judgment, love your family more than you love yourself, and receive more love than you could ever have for yourself.

After moving into town here, I took inventory of my life choices. What were the guiding principles that brought me to this point, both literally and figuratively? It’s my first time living alone.

Lubbock, Texas is a beautiful city with beautiful people, but that is not why I came here.

Aurelius would go down in history as the last of Rome’s Five Good Emperors, and his death is considered the beginning of the end of Roman supremacy.

In the book “Mediatations”, Marcus Aurelius made a heartfelt tribute to his adoptive father, honoring his “gentleness and unshaken resolution in judgments..., ...love of work and perseverance.” This tribute is the longest of any other written that follows a theme of deference to family found in the collection.

I tend to think that Commodus did not hold fast to his father’s writings, else his fate would have been different. It could be argued that Commodus was doomed to fail, with enemies on all sides. His father nevertheless chose life for him.

What values do you hold dear to you? How will you honor family?

Freedom of speech vital to growth as student As a new year of college begins, I begin my final semester as an undergraduate student of Texas Tech. Rather than looking forward to my potential for graduate school, I am going to look back on my development as a thinker and a student here at Texas Tech.

Around my sophomore year in college I began to take learning and obtaining knowledge seriously because I was attempting to put my life together after a bad first year. The first step to that was to take notes and, more importantly, engage in class.

After I began to engage with my professors I instantly saw a full letter boost in my grades, and began to enjoy the conversations with passionate and dedicated professors that truly loved the topics they taught.

While taking a government class, politics became something that consumed my life. After a while I became confident enough in my positions that I felt I could clearly articulate them and maybe

even possibly debate with my peers. I was excited to engage with my peers and my testing ground was Facebook. Then I began to realize something.

My ideas were not popular among people I went to high school with. People I knew from the time I was 15 were now calling me racist, sexist and Islamophobic despite them personally knowing that not to be the case.

This made me hesitate to discuss my beliefs in class for a while. I was afraid of the backlash I might receive. I do go to college in Texas, but I also went to high school here and that hadn’t stopped people who knew me from calling me hateful. I could only imagine what would happen from those who didn’t know me.

the courage to debate someone in class. It was in a personality class where we were talking about how personality is essentially fixed from birth, in terms of the big five personality traits, and our professor asked us what the implications of this fact could have on our notions of human beings having free will.

I raised my hand reluctantly and said that I believed that despite us not being able to control our personality types that free will is about having a choice, and that even in the direst of circumstances we have a choice. Immediately after me speaking a girl spoke out and went on a short tirade about how free will is an illusion, and I was shocked because I had never heard the argument before.

I was nervous to engage with this person because I did not know the typical line to counter this. Despite this, I engaged with her and we went back and forth for a few minutes. At this point

the professor cut in and said, “Wow, this is a really good discussion.” For some reason I cannot recollect, we moved on.

I was still a little shaky from having an impromptu intellectual argument in front of sixty people and that’s when something happened that changed my college career for the remainder of its duration. Several people turned around and told me what I said made a lot of sense. They told me they knew exactly what I was getting at and that they agreed with me.

Setting the debate on free will aside, this moment changed how I viewed debate in class. It gave me the confidence to argue the most controversial ideas that I felt were true, because I knew that I had the power to change minds and convince people in the class even if I couldn’t convince the person I was debating.

My point, simply, is this.

Texans recover from Hurricane Harvey

By AKHILA REDDY L a Vida Editor

When Diana Durkin sits down to eat a family dinner, she does so in a half-finished house on a donated couch with paper plates and utensils.

One year after Hurricane Harvey hit her home, this strange reality has now become the normal for Durkin and her family.

The storm took almost everything the family owned, Durkin, a sophomore psychology major, said. From her home in Kingwood, to her mother’s motorcycle dealership, to her grandparents’ ranch, everything flooded in the wake of the storm.

“Everything was just gone,” Durkin said. “All of your baby photos, your mom’s bed, your car, literally everything is just gone. The mugs you painted for your mom when you were four, literally everything.”

The storm was historic, Houston Warning Coordination meteorologist Dan Reilly said, with the flooding causing an unprecedented amount of damage.

“It was one of the most damaging storms,” Reilly said. “A lot of it was the flooding in a large metro area. I don’t know exactly

where it ranks but it certainly is going to be in the top three as far as the most damage producing storms.”

Some areas of Houston remained untouched by the storm, Reilly said, including his own home. However, closer to bodies of water, the damage grew more severe.

“As you get away from creeks and bayous some areas weren’t affected, but as you get closer in to those areas you see homes that were severely damaged, you still see evidence of that even one year later,” Reilly said.

Durkin’s neighborhood Kingwood, just north of Houston, was one of these areas. The town suffered severe flooding in the storm due to its proximity to a reservoir, Durkin said.

At the last minute, the reservoir was opened due to the historic amounts of rain, catching Durkin and her family off guard.

The house flooded six to eight feet within one hour, she said. Unlike many other people, her family was unable to prepare or store furniture and belongings upstairs.

“It was like my mom woke up and she was in at least two feet of water,” Durkin said.

The water grew to be as high as a truck, Durkin

said, and the currents were so strong regular boats could not go back for her family.

Instead, Durkin’s mother and 13-year-old brother had to be rescued from their house by the coast guard.

Durkin said the traumatic experiences left a powerful impact on her family.

“Even when little things like a thunderstorm happens it gives them a lot of anxiety because they just have really bad after effects of Harvey,” Durkin said.

There are many similar stories of people in the Houston area struggling to deal with heavy rain and potential flooding, Reilly said.

“There is a lot, I want to say, post-traumatic stress, if you will,” Reilly said. “Those that went through it, it was a very difficult experience and so you know we have heard stories about people now every time it rains hard you know getting kind of edgy and stressed.”

Karina Almanza, a junior dual major in human development and family studies as well as pre-nursing from Odessa, said she has known Durkin for two years. Hearing what Durkin and her family suffered in the storm was devastating, she said.

“She doesn’t deserve that,

like Diana’s the best person and her family, I wouldn’t want anyone to go through that, but especially not Diana and her family,” Almanza said.

In the aftermath of the storm, like many other Houston residents, Durkin had to make some hard choices, she said. Her family did not have flood insurance and were financially in a tough place, with their home and mother’s business flooded.

Durkin decided to drop out of school for the fall semester and work, she said.

“It was one of those things where like my family needs me, they’re struggling and how selfish of me would it be to leave my family struggling and even costing them the amount of tuition when they need help,” she said.

That semester was difficult for Durkin, Almanza said. She was working multiple jobs in Lubbock and also making trips back home to be with and help her brother and mother.

It would have been easier for Durkin to simply take classes and continue being a regular student, Almanza said, but that’s just not her character.

“I can remember how she was always upset, always super stressed out, always crying and had a lot of hard decisions to make and just didn’t know what to do and so needed all the support she could get,” Almanza said.

Still, despite the struggles she and her family have undergone, Durkin would not trade in her experiences, she said. Seeing the way her community has bonded together so selflessly and compassionately to move past the hurricane has been powerful.

Losing almost all her material possessions has also helped Durkin realize what is most important, she said, which is serving others and showing love and compassion.

“I think it’s the most humbling thing that could ever

happen to my family,” Durkin said. “Especially in the way of now we really don’t have anything but we’re finding happiness in just having each other, which is something I think is really hard to do modern day with all the distractions.”

Almanza said she has observed a change in Durkin’s outlook since the hurricane.

Now, Durkin does not take anything for granted, she said, and appreciates even the smallest of things.

“It was cool to see how she appreciates everything so much more and is so much more passionate about what’s she’s doing because she knows it could be gone at any second,” Almanza said.

A flood is such an overwhelming experience. Not even when its just happening, but the aftermath is just unbearable.

DIANA DURKIN SOPHOMORE After this difficult fall semester in the wake of Harvey, Durkin’s fortunes took an upward turn over winter break. In the airport, Durkin said she threw a Guns Up Signal to a fellow Tech student and found herself getting pulled aside for a serious search by the TSA. After she tweeted about it, the story went viral online, even garnering a comment from Governor Greg Abbott.

At first Durkin was simply surprised and embarrassed.

“I thought I cannot believe this is happening to me. I just thought this was so crazy,” Durkin said. “And then Tech reached out to me because of it and said ‘Hey’ and they were just able to admit me.

I mean like the day before classes started and they gave me a scholarship from a Hurricane Harvey fund.”

Having the support of the university was awesome, Durkin said. It enabled her to get back to a university a semester earlier than she thought she could afford to.

“I don’t think I’d be able to find that support at any other university,” Durkin said. “Texas Tech always will always have the biggest place in my heart.”

Today, Houston has come quite a way in recovering from the storm, Reilly said.

Although low lying areas that faced severe damage might never quite be the same, other areas have recovered completely.

Furthermore, adjustments are being made to ensure Houston is equipped for another storm in the future, Reilly said. Flood plains are being reevaluated, more barriers are being erected, and he is recommending that everyone buy flood insurance in the future.

“Houston is working hard to recover,” Reilly said. “Although for individuals that were impacted, it’s a slow process for them, you know we’re getting back closer to where we were a year ago.”

Durkin said her family is slowly recovering from the flood. Her house should have its repairs finished within the year and her mother’s business is up and running again.

Still, Durkin said, her family will feel the effects of the flood for the rest of their lives, financially and emotionally.

“A flood is such an overwhelming experience to go through,” Durkin said. “Not even just when it’s happening, but the aftermath is just unbearable. It will stay with us for a very long time, but there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.” @AkhilaReddyDT

7 arrested in protest over torn-down Confederate statue CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Seven people were arrested Saturday at a rally calling for a century-old Confederate statue at the University of North Carolina to be returned after it was yanked down five days ago.

About a dozen people carrying Confederate flags were met by dozens of protesters that don’t want the memorial known as “Silent Sam” to return to the campus in Chapel Hill.

Television footage and videos posted to social media showed several punches thrown and at least one man handcuffed after he tried to burn a Confederate flag taken from another

man’s hands.

None of the seven people arrested was affiliated with the school, Chancellor Carol Folt said.

Three were charged with assault, two were charged with assault, destruction of property and inciting a riot; one was charged with destruction of property and one was charged with resisting an officer, the university said in a statement. Officials did not release their names or say if they were protesting for or against the statue.

“Silent Sam,” erected in 1913, was torn down Monday during a protest. It’s now in temporary storage.

Folt said there have

been at least 35 demonstrations about the statue in the past several years, and while she would prefer a safer, more secure location than a main campus quad, the university hasn’t decided what to do with the monument. Police surrounded its empty pedestal with barricades Saturday.

The chancellor only promised a “sustainable, lawful solution” during a conference call with reporters, where she also acknowledged there were “very tense moments” during Saturday’s demonstrations.

“I won’t be rushed into that,” Folt said of Silent Sam’s fate.

CAMPUS

Students share summer experiences

By BRIANNA MALDONADO

Staff Writer Even though the campus may not have been as busy this summer, Texas Tech students stayed active and represented Tech throughout the world.

One of those students, Katie Main, a senior journalism major from Cypress, took an eight-week trip to Chengdu, China, for a cultural exchange.

“It was a good amount of time because I was able to get comfortable there and get in the routine,” Main said. “It stopped feeling like a vacation and started to feel like I actually lived there.”

One thing that stood out to her was experiencing what it was like to be a minority, Main said. As a white woman, Main said in America she has never known what it is like to walk into a room and be the only one of her color.

“I was stared at on the

street and taken pictures of,” Main said. “It was really humbling, and I was able to learn what my friends go through as people of color.”

With a city population of over 14 million people, Main said it was different from what she is used to in her hometown or in Lubbock.

“It’s such a fun place to live, and I really just disconnected from America,” she said. “I didn’t have access to social media, so I kind of felt an out-of-body experience.”

Main said she loved the culture and people so much that she wants to go back and live in China long term.

Jack Ciampi, a senior public relations and marketing major from Houston, spent his summer in Los Angeles for a public relations internship with Fender Musical Instruments.

Through his job, Rolling Stone picked up one of Ciampi’s pitches. He said

the video Rolling Stone created received over 15 million views in the U.S. and was later shown in Rolling Stone Japan. Ciampi said it was crazy to think he was the one responsible for that.

“It was something you can’t really get in Lubbock because it’s so small and regional, so it was cool to get it from a national and international standpoint,” Ciampi said.

With the company being famous for making guitars, he said it was neat to learn about the history of the company. Ciampi said he was also reminded of Lubbock often because they mention Buddy Holly and him being famous for playing a Fender.

At the end of his internship, Ciampi had a presentation in front of about 40 employees and the executives. Afterward, they gifted him with a Fender guitar, which Ciampi said was a great ending to a defining moment of sharing his input

Hawaii emerges from threat of storm HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii emerged Saturday from the threat of a potentially devastating hurricane after historic amounts of rain forced evacuations on some islands but damage appeared less than feared.

Tropical Storm Lane, once known as Hurricane Lane, began to break apart as it veered west into the open Pacific, leaving behind sighs of relief and plenty of cleanup, especially on the Big Island where rainfall totals approached 4 feet (1.2 meters).

No storm-related deaths have been reported, though Big Island authorities said they plucked families from floodwaters and landslides closed roads.

The National Weather Service canceled all storm warnings for the state, several hours after shopkeepers in Honolulu’s tourist-heavy areas already started taking down plywood meant to protect windows if the storm made it that far.

Preliminary figures from the weather service show that Lane dropped the fourth-highest amount of rain for a hurricane to hit the United States since 1950. Hurricane Harvey, which devastated Texas a year ago, topped the list.

The storm’s outer bands dumped as much as 45 inches (114 centimeters) on the mostly rural Big Island, measurements showed. The main town of Hilo, population 43,000, was flooded Friday with waist-high water.

Authorities rescued 39 peo-

University of Arizona accepted money from eugenics fund The University of Arizona has accepted years of funding from a foundation infamous for promoting research linking race and intelligence — even after other universities and organizations, including white nationalist groups, stopped receiving support from the group, records show.

A University of Arizona psychology professor used some of the Pioneer Fund’s grant money to pay for recent travel to a conference in London that has included eugenics-themed presentations, according to documents The Associated Press obtained through a public records request.

The eugenics movement has included theories about the controlled breeding of humans to “improve” the gene pool.

The Pioneer Fund was created by textile heir Wickliffe Draper in 1937 to — in the words of its original charter — advocate for “race betterment.” The organization has promoted eugenics and financially supported “race scientists” who maintain that blacks are intellectually and genetically inferior to whites.

ple from floodwaters Friday and Saturday, all in the eastern part of the Big Island where the rain concentrated, Hawaii County Civil Defense spokeswoman Kelly Wooten said.

Teams were assessing damage, she said, but continued to focus on recovery efforts because it was still raining.

Big Island Book Buyers in Hilo opened as normal Saturday morning after owner Mary Bicknell saw a bit of sunshine and blue sky.

“Everybody is in pretty good spirits. It’s kind of nice,” she said of her customers before adding everyone was “hoping and praying it’s over.”

One of the island’s volcanoes is erupting, and the rain could still cause whiteout conditions on some active lava fields when it hits the molten rock and boils off as steam.

About 200 miles (320 kilometers) and several islands to the northwest, tourists wandered Waikiki Beach and took leisurely swims as shopkeepers prepared to reopen.

Hotels began putting deck chairs back alongside pools.

Dozens of surfers were in the Pacific, looking to ride small waves. The breeze was light.

Winds were also calmer on Maui, which had seen about 12 inches of rain and wind gusts up to 50 mph. On Saturday, winds were about 11 mph. Like the Big Island, Maui experienced flooding and landslides.

Lane first approached the islands earlier this week as a

Category 5 hurricane, meaning it was likely to cause catastrophic damage with winds of 157 mph (252 kph) or above. But upper-level winds known as shear swiftly tore the storm apart.

As flooding hit the Big Island, winds fanned brush fires that had broken out in dry areas of Maui and Oahu.

Some residents in a shelter on Maui had to flee flames, and another fire forced people from their homes.

Flames burned nine homes in the historic coastal town of Lahaina and forced 600 people to evacuate, Maui County spokeswoman Lynn Araki-Regan said. Some have returned, but many have not because much of the area lacks power, Araki-Regan said.

Those outages meant the water provider on Maui’s west side was unable to pump, so officials at the Maui Electric utility urged conservation — particularly important because firefighters need supplies to put out the remaining flames.

The central Pacific gets fewer hurricanes than other regions, with only about four or five named storms a year.

Hawaii rarely gets hit. The last major storm to hit was Iniki in 1992. Others have come close in recent years.

“It’s great that it didn’t get us,” Nick Palumbo II, who lives and owns a surf shop on the island of Lanai, said of Lane.

Tech, community welcomes students back to Lubbock with week of free events

By REBEKAH BLANCHARD Staff Writer

Raider Welcome, a longstanding tradition at Texas Tech, is a two-week long opportunity for new and returning students to make connections and engage with everything the campus has to offer.

With over 130 events put together by student organizations and on-campus departments, students have a variety of ways to get involved and meet new people.

Rachel Jackson, an associate director of Transition and Engagement, said planning for Raider Welcome begins in April, when departments and student organizations begin thinking about hosting their events, which begin on Aug. 19, and run through Sept. 1.

Students making Tech their home for the first-time benefit from attending Raider Welcome events because they’re able to familiarize themselves with the university and meet new people before class starts, she said.

Amber Carroll, an animal

science major from Leander, attended Hub City Fest, one of several welcome week events, for the first time.

“I’ve been up here for events in the past, but this is my first time to really get to explore (the campus) and see everything,” Carroll said.

Events like Hub City Fest are also a way for students to learn about the Lubbock community, businesses, churches and non-profits that support the university, Zach Manning, an associate director of Transition and Engagement, said.

“Definitely get involved, put yourself out there, but listen to your gut and make sure you’re making smart choices too,” Manning said.

New students are not the only ones who benefit from participating in Raider Welcome events, Jackson said. Returning students can connect, recruit and promote their student organizations while faculty and staff have a chance to speak with students prior to the first day of class.

Jackson said some of the longest standing events of

DAILYTOREADOR

Raider Welcome include the Ice Cream Social, hosted by the University Career Center, and .99 cent steak night, sponsored by the Baptist Student Ministry. Other events include Night at the Student Union Building, hosted by the Student Union & Activities, and the Picnic with the President.

“Every year there’s something new, and I would have to say that all of our events are well attended,” she said.

“We really wanted a way for students to be able to find the events that they’re interested in, and we came up with this idea of the six tracks.”

From events focusing on culture and diversity to activities promoting academic success, there is something for everyone, and both Jackson and Manning said they encourage students to take advantage of Raider Welcome.

During the game against Pepperdine, King struck again and early this time. King notched the first and only goal of the game within the first two minutes of the match, according to Tech Athletics.

“We didn’t want them to set the pace of the game,” King said following the win. “It was really good to set the tempo of the game and let them know that we came out to play and that this is our home field.”

In Tech’s third game of the season, King once again put the Red Raiders on top

early. King scored in the 2nd minute of the match against the San Diego State Aztecs to give the Red Raiders a 1-0 lead. King’s goal marked her second-straight match she scored in the 2nd minute.

Continuity brings promise for Tech’s defense

By AUSTIN WATTS Managing Editor

After being praised for the teams vast improvement defensively from 2016 to 2017, Texas Tech’s defense will return the majority of its defensive starters from last season’s team, with an emphasis on improving upon the foundation that last year’s team laid out.

In 2016, Tech fielded the worst defense out of College Football’s 128 teams, in terms of defensive points allowed per game. Due to Tech’s high-octane offense that ranked fifth in points per game in 2016, the Red Raider defense struggled to contain opponents offensively, allowing 43.5 points per game, according to sports-reference.com.

In 2017, Tech’s defense had a resurgence that had not been seen in several seasons, as the Red Raiders cut their points allowed per game to 32.2, which ranked number 100 out of a possible 130 teams, according to sports-reference.com.

While far from perfect, the improvement signaled a change under Tech defensive coordinator David Gibbs, as the team led the Big 12 in turnovers in Gibbs’ third season as defensive coordinator.

“I wouldn’t say that there is a lot of extra pressure, we know that as a defense that we got better, which is something that Texas Tech is not really known for,” senior linebacker Kolin Hill said. “So we just feel this season that we are going to have complete team. When I first got here, our defense was like last in just about everything, just being here and growing, everyone else buying into what the coaches are saying, it’s something that has brought us along over the years, it’s a good feeling coming into this season and having a group of guys that want to go out there and do our best.”

Heading into 2018, the team has one goal on its mind defensively, and that is to build upon and improve on last season’s defensive turnaround. Despite losing graduating defensive tackle Mychealon Thomas, along with senior defender Octavious Morgan to a season-ending injury, Tech returns all of its regular starters from 2017.

The returning group being headlined by senior captain Dakota Allen, who has garnered national attention as Tech’s leading tackler from 2017, as the team’s starting middle linebacker.

“We’re excited, we’ve got a bunch of veteran guys coming back. The thing I tell everybody is not just the 10 starters coming back, but the eight, nine backups coming back,” Gibbs said. “The competition that is in everyday workouts, everyday running, everyday practice, those guys are competing to get better, competing for playing time, which if y’all know, competing for playing time around here hasn’t always been the case.

We’ve got a bunch of veteran leadership, and looking forward to watching these guys work every day to get better.”

For Tech, the defensive improvement starts along the defensive line, as Tech returns a young, hungry group in the trenches.

Last season, starters Eli Howard and Broderick Washington raised eyebrows as disruptive players in the backfield, with Howard posting a team-high 5.5 sacks and 8.5 tackles for a loss, according to Tech Athletics. Washington started all 13 games for Tech at defensive tackle, posting two sacks, two TFLs and 44 tackles, the most of any defensive lineman for Tech.

“Honestly, especially guys that are returning with experience, Eli Howard and Broderick Washington, Nick McCann played a little bit last year, Quentin Yontz, they

have playing experience from last year, and they’ve done nothing but get better on and off the field coming out of spring,” defensive line coach Terrance Jamison said. “We can put those guys in a position to sack the quarterback and stop the run.”

Both Washington and Howard return as starters along the line, and will be part of a defensive unit that is looking to stand tall against the run, while also putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

“Really for us upfront, doing our job, attacking our target and dominating our one-on-ones, that will give us a chance to make a play on any ball carrier, whether it be running back or quarterback,” Jamison said. “Just doing our job and being in the right place at the right time.”

Behind Tech’s young defensive line is an experienced corps of linebackers, which is set to be the glue that holds this defense together, the group led by Allen, Hill, junior Jordyn Brooks and sophomore Riko Jeffers looks to stuff the run and torment of quarterbacks looking for open receivers across the middle of the field.

Among these four players, Tech returns a total of 35 starts in 2017. Allen led the team with 102 total tackles last season, while Brooks finished third in tackles with 89, according to Tech Athletics.

“I’m looking forward to this defensive improving, I think the chemistry that we have on the defensive side is unbelievable, it can only lead to success,” Brooks said.

“After what we did last year, I feel like the ceiling for this is year is even higher, I feel like we can do a whole lot better than we did last year.”

While Allen and Hill bring experience as seniors to the corps of linebackers, Brooks and Jeffers bring some youth and will be part of Tech’s plans in years to

come. Jeffers, as just a sophomore, has already begun to show talent and ability necessary to be a centerpiece of this group moving forward in just his second season.

“Riko Jeffers, also a mike linebacker, he’s impressed me the most,” Brooks said. “When he came in he was probably about 250, overweight, couldn’t really move well.

During the offseason he’s been working hard and got his weight down, he’s about 230, down 20 pounds, looks like a whole different guy. He’s moving well and getting comfortable in the system, he’s one of the guys that’s impressed me the most.”

While Allen has garnered the national spotlight as one of the top defenders in the country, his fellow linebackers have silently solidified the linebacker group around him, with a combined 155 tackles in 2017 amongst the other three returning starters.

With an experienced corps of linebackers returning that have shown chemistry in the past, Tech’s defense will lean on this group to help shut down the run game, while also playing a role in the passing game.

Despite being strong in the trenches and in the linebackers behind them, Tech’s unit that shined the most last season was its secondary, as a vital component behind Tech’s 14 interceptions.

Starting returners include senior Jah’Shawn Johnson, junior Justus Parker, senior Vaughnte Dorsey, sophomore Damarcus Fields, junior Desmon Smith and junior Douglas Coleman III, which as a unit pulled in eight

BOTTOM: Senior defensive back Jah’shawn Johnson makes a tackle at the game against Texas Christian University on Saturday, Nov. 18, 2017, at Jones AT&T Stadium. Johnson is expected to be one of the better defensive backs in the Big 12 in 2018, as he was selected to the Big 12 All-Preseason team. interceptions amongst just returning secondary players.

With a strong group returning, Gibbs expects the secondary to continue to create and force turnovers, which is what his defense is designed to do.

“Veteran guys, played a lot of football, Jah’Shawn (Johnson) should have an outstanding senior year, he’s worked his tail off,” Gibbs said. “I think the key to me is they continue to improve, limiting the big plays, obviously tackling, and then continuing to create turnovers, which I think the scheme and the players allow us to do. They should perform well, but obviously they got a long way to go.”

Together, the secondary returns with every regular starter from 2017, with 53 combined starts from last season amongst returning players. With a hoard of experience and talent in the defensive backfield, Tech’s chances of topping last season’s turnover mark of 29, the

most in the Big 12, are high.

With all the returning defensive talent that a team could hope for, Tech’s defense is in a great position to improve and change the mentality surrounding Texas Tech football and Big 12 defenses in general.

While generally seen as one of the worst defensive teams in a conference that has struggled defensively over the last few years, Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury and defensive coordinator Gibbs have set the foundation for a rebirth defensively for the Red Raiders.

“I give credit to Texas Tech, to Kirby (Hocutt), to Kliff (Kingsbury), for letting me be here for four years, because history is if you played as bad as we did the first couple years you don’t get a chance to come back,” Gibbs said. “Now it’s time for me to show them they made the right decision, and our kids to show them they made the right decision.” @AustinWattsDT

The Cubs have homered in a season-high 11 straight games and won five straight.

Hendricks was lifted for a pinch-hitter after throwing 98 pitches. Randy Rosario worked the final two innings to complete the three-hitter.

Saints cap productive week with, 36-7, win over Chargers CARSON, Calif. (AP) — After a valuable week of joint practices with the Los Angeles Chargers, New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton felt comfortable extending that open approach to their preseason game by calling everything from a fake punt to multiple 2-point conversions.

Alvin Kamara ran for a 2-yard touchdown, and the Saints capped a productive visit to Southern California with a 36-7 preseason win over the Chargers on Saturday night.

Saints quarterback Drew Brees was 7 of 9 for 59 yards

with an interception in three series, while Philip Rivers was 5 of 7 for 29 yards in a brief tuneup appearance for the Chargers.

This was the second consecutive year the Chargers hosted the Saints in a preseason game at StubHub Center following practices between the teams in Orange County. While the workouts came later in training camp than usual, the Saints built off two productive days with a strong performance in the traditional dress rehearsal for the regular season.

“It benefits both of us and I think both teams

understand that,” Payton said. “The relationship between the staffs is good, and you see it in the type of work we got. It’s something that benefits both teams, so hopefully it’s something we can continue to do.”

Third-string quarterback and special teams contributor Taysom Hill became the embodiment of Payton’s willingness to experiment, giving New Orleans its initial firstdown late in the first quarter by running a direct snap on a fake punt around the left side. That helped set up Kamara’s short touchdown plunge seven plays later.

FOOTBALL

Run game poised to play bigger role in 2018

By NOAH MICIOTT0 Sports Editor

The Texas Tech football team looks to turn things around for the program by adjusting its approach on offense and make the transition to a predominantly run based squad.

The Red Raiders finished the 2017 season at 6-7 overall, according to Tech Athletics. Although the Red Raiders showed improvement from 2016, Tech must keep moving forward with its run game as its opposition outrushed them by 269 yards.

Former Red Raider Justin Stockton, who averaged 6.0 yards per carry and ended the year with 817 yards gained overall, led Tech in the rushing category and accounted for a large portion of the Red Raider offense. Unfortunately for Tech, Stockton recently signed a contract with the Seattle Seahawks to play professional football.

With Stockton being out of the Red Raiders runningback rotation, Tech will have some big shoes to fill.

The Red Raiders are counting on sophomore Da’Leon Ward to step up and take over Stockton’s role as the top back on offense.

“We want to run the

football efficiently and make sure we can do that at all times. I think we got a little bit better last year and I think with the offensive line back and with Da’Leon we should do it even better this year, so we’ll continue and try and be a run first football team if we can do it we’ll keep doing it,” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said.

Ward started with the Red Raiders in 2016 and immediately established his dominance. Ward was the first true freshman to lead the squad in rushing since 1999, according to Tech Athletics.

Despite having a strong start at Tech, Ward was forced to sit out the 2017 season as he was redshirted; however, he is expected to make an immediate impact upon his return.

Ward is a top-shaped back with a height of 5 foot 10 inches and a weight of 180-pounds, according to Tech Athletics. Noted for his toughness and endurance running the ball, Ward’s quickness, endurance, and strength allow him to keep running through defenders after the initial point of contact is made.

Though Ward is a very talented tailback, he can only

run as well as his offensive line sets him up to. The Red Raider O-line is going to play an important role in Tech’s scoring abilities this season.

Senior Demarcus Felton, another running back for the Red Raiders, also understands without a play making offensive line almost all of Tech’s plans will fail.

“Everything depends on the offensive line, we can’t get nothing started without them,” Felton said.

“We always put emphasis on those guys, and they’ve been working hard.”

Felton is not the only one in the locker room that sees the importance of the offensive line, for there is a common notion throughout the team and coaching staff that the blockers up front will dictate how the season goes.

“Any good football team, it starts up front. This team goes as we go,” Tech coach Brandon Jones said. “Anytime you get an opportunity to run the ball you absolutely want to maximize it.”

Tech’s O-Line has truly blossomed under the direction of Coach Jones. Jones, who wore the scarlet and black for Tech from 20022006, has years of coaching experience under his belt.

Jones has been coaching

collegiate lineman for 11 years now, as he returned to his alma mater back in 2007 before taking on a few other positions at various schools and eventually landing back in Lubbock once more, according to Tech Athletics.

Anytime you get an opportunity to run the ball you absolutely want to maximize it.

BRANDON JONES OFFENSIVE LINE COACH One of the most important players on the line is senior center Paul Stawarz.

The 6 feet 6 inches tall, 295-pound center looks forward to leading the offensive operation for Tech.

His experience and guidance will be invaluable to younger Red Raiders.

“Being able to play with them [returning lineman] again, especially for my senior season, I couldn’t ask for anything better,” Stawarz said.

Experience and camaraderie are certainly the two things that set this of-

fensive line apart from the other position groups on the team. Tech’s returning five consists of junior left tackle Madison Akamnonu, sophomore Jack Anderson, senior Jacob Hines, senior Paul Stawarz and junior Terence Steele.

Steele, the starting right tackle for the Red Raiders, will use his leadership skills to get the offensive line in sync. Steele was recently recognized as a team captain by his teammates. Steele immediately made an impact upon his arrival at Tech back in 2016 as he was named to the All-Big 12 Freshman second team by Athlon Sports, according to Tech Athletics.

Considering Tech has everything working in its favor to become a top-notch running team, the Red Raiders are expected to have a tough true-grit style offense. With an experienced offensive line, an explosive tailback, and a younger group of quarterbacks, running the ball is going to be a key factor in Tech’s offensive success.

Looking at the passing game, Tech has three main quarterbacks taking snaps.

Junior transfer from Tyler Junior College, McLane Carter has been the most frequent at the helm of the

Red Raider offense. Carter is a left-handed quarterback with quick feet and has the ability to make plays out of the pocket.

Sophomore Jett Duffey has also been getting a lot of chances to learn at quarterback during Tech’s practices. Duffey is a quick and sure-footed dual threat quarterback. Freshman Alan Bowman, No. 29 ranked quarterback in the country via Rivals, according to Tech Athletics, has also begun to make way into the running for the starting quarterback position.

Despite common speculations, the Red Raiders have yet to decide who will take over the quarterback role.

Kingsbury said even the team itself doesn’t know who will be under the center for the first snap of the season.

“You pretty much have to hit them [the team] in the face with it for them to know,” Kingsbury said. “We’ll find out in Houston.”

The Red Raiders will start their season in just under a week as Tech is set to take on power five opponent Ole Miss on Saturday, Sept. 1, at NRG Stadium in Houston with kickoff set for 11 a.m. @NoahMiciotto_DT
