Shimonek, wide receivers show chemistry in season opener

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Sports Editor

In his first official start as a Red Raider, fifth-year senior quarterback Nic Shimonek and the Texas Tech wide receivers showed people Tech is still an offensive powerhouse.

After being under the guidance of former quarterback Patrick Mahomes II, the Red Raider offense showed it would not falter under Shimonek as he led Tech to a strong offensive showing to begin the season. Before his streak was broken, Shimonek was throwing for a perfect 14 for 14 at the start of the game.

“I’m a very streaky guy, so if I can hit — the same thing in basketball, when I was in high school,” Shimonek said. “If I hit two or three shots, I might knock the next seven or eight down, and the same thing: Once

you get in your rhythm, you kind of get going, a few completions here and there, run the ball, keep them honest. Yeah, it’s a good feeling to be rolling on all cylinders like that.”

At the start of the game, Shimonek threw for a perfect nine for nine passes for 66 total yards, according to Tech Athletics. In the second quarter after a 25-yard touchdown run by senior running back Justin Stockton, Shimonek finally connected with his receivers and found senior wide receiver Derrick Willies in the backfield for a 75-yard touchdown pass to put the Red Raiders up, 14-3.

Halfway through the second quarter, Willies was leading the Red Raider receivers with 115 yards in three catches and one touchdown, according to Tech Athletics.

Student receives prestigious Amgen award

Parking services’ Pop-Tarts for Tickets campaign begins

By PAYTON ROBB Staff Writer

Amanda Miller, a senior biochemistry major from Plano, spent her summer at Harvard University conducting research as a 2017 Amgen Scholar. This experience opened doors for her future career.

“When I first came to Tech, my goal was to become a pediatrician, but after being involved with this hands-on experience, I want to incorporate research into my career,” Miller said. “I want to get my M.D. after my undergraduate biochemistry degree. It is a huge commitment, but after seeing professionals act in this field, I know it is for me.”

Miller was one of 200 students chosen for the Amgen Scholars program. According to its website, Amgen Scholars gives undergraduate students from across the world the opportunity to participate in prestigious research programs at high-ranking institutions.

Miller is the first Texas Tech student to participate in the program at Harvard University.

“Applying for the Harvard program is different from some of the other institutions because it requires not only a transcript, resumé and letters of recommendation, but

I also had to do a Skype interview,” Miller said.

For the 10 weeks she was in Massachusetts, Miller said she worked on Project Abbie.

“Project Abbie is inspired by Abbie Benford, a young girl who died from anaphylactic shock,” Miller said. “Essentially, Project Abbie is creating a sensor that detects the early symptoms of an allergic reaction and injects epinephrine automatically.”

Miller said this device will help save lives because it involves early detection and will aid in injecting medicine into individuals who are unable to do so themselves.

“Anaphylaxis is a huge problem,” she said. “Getting help in time is a huge issue. So much time is already wasted even before the symptoms are noticeable.”

As an Amgen Scholar, Miller said the Amgen Foundation funded her research at Harvard.

“Amgen is one of the biggest biotechnology companies in the United States,” Miller said. “Because of its funding, the Amgen Scholars program is possible.”

Wendoli Flores, director of National and International Scholarships and Fellowships in Tech’s Honors College, said being chosen as an Amgen Scholar will open

“Honors like these hold a lot of prestige and gives the student credibility,” she said. “The nature of summer research is very beneficial to students because it exposes them to a different way of learning through other universities.”

Pop-Tarts for Tickets, a campaign started by Texas Tech Transportation and Parking Services, allows students to donate an unopened box of Pop-Tarts and have a citation dismissed. The campaign starts Sept. 5 and runs through Friday, Sept. 15, 2017.

Texas Tech Transportation & Parking Services will be accepting donations of new, unopened boxes of Pop-Tarts or similar toaster pastries in exchange for an unpaid parking ticket dismissal from Tuesday, Sept. 5, through Friday, Sept. 15.

The donations will only be accepted from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the parking services office or any campus entry station on weekdays. A receipt for the Pop-Tarts must be brought to the office to redeem for dismissal, according to the parking services website.

The promotion, which began in 2016, benefits Food 2 Kids, a program created by the Junior League of Lubbock. In its inaugural year, Pop-Tarts for Tickets dismissed more than $1,500 worth of citations and provided 6,804 Pop-Tarts to elementary school students identified as being at potentially high risk for suffering from hunger, according to the website.

This promotion is not applicable for certain parking violations and is redeemable for one citation only, according to the website. @ReeceNationsDT

“All the programming, design and specifications are complete,” Michael Molina, vice chancellor for Facilities, Planning & Construction at Texas Tech University System, said. “Everything is out to bid. We’re on budget. Everything is going as planned, the basement is fully excavated.”

The north and west walls of the basement, which are roughly 30 feet deep, have been completed, Molina said.

Right now, about 50 percent of the perimeter walls along with four columns inside the basement are complete, he said.

“Things are moving (really) well,” Molina said. “You can’t see it too well because of the way we have it fenced off, but that’s for safety and pedestrian management, so nobody walks onto the site, but we’re on schedule, and

everything is going quite well.”

The building, which complements Experimental Sciences Building I and its functions, is a sophisticated facility on the interior, with air management, electricity management and energysaving initiatives, Molina said.

Molina’s mission, along with that of the rest of the Facilities, Planning & Construction staff, is to support the institution’s goals and objectives in research. Furthermore, because of the types of research that can be done in the new facility, Molina said he believes Experimental Sciences Building II can contribute to those goals.

“It provides a wonderful platform in terms of research-centric activities,” Molina said, “and recruiting top-notch, tier one researchers to Texas Tech.”

Students react to petition to remove confederate monument

By SHAWNEE BETANCOURT Staff Writer

Lubbock County was founded in 1876 and named after former Texas Ranger and Confederate officer Col. Thomas S. Lubbock. Recently a petition was posted online calling for the removal of a monument dedicated to Lubbock and Texan soldiers who fought in the Civil War. The monument honoring Thomas Lubbock was erected by the state in 1963.

Thomas Lubbock marched in the Texas Revolution with Capt. William G. Cooke and helped with the Siege of Bexar, according to the Texas State Historical Association.

The siege was the first major campaign of the Texan army during their revolutionary war with Mexico.

"These monuments were erected in a large part because it was a demonstration of power." Miguel Levario,

associate professor in the Department of History, said.

Although the Confederate States of America fought for states’ rights, these rights were to own slaves, which is why many argue that the Civil War was fought because of slavery, Levario said. The monument was established as a visible reminder of a past that was oppressive.

Stewart Williams, a Texas Tech alumnus and chair of Lubbock's Democratic Party, said this monument is merely a statement declaring what side Thomas Lubbock was on during the Civil Rights Movement.

However, he does not believe this monument should be seen as offensive today.

“The monument is not glorifying the south,” Williams said.

“It just states who Lubbock was named after and what he did."

Having this memorial in place does not necessarily mean that it is in support of the old south's beliefs, he said. It simply gives acknowledgment to who Thomas Lubbock was and what his actions were.

"I don’t believe this monument should be removed because this goes back to other people's ancestry and they might get offended if it is removed," Sydney

Trump’s DACA plan would pass hot potato to Congress WASHINGTON (AP) — A plan President Donald Trump is expected to announce Tuesday for young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children was embraced by some top Republicans on Monday and denounced by others as the beginning of a “civil war” within the party.

The response was an immediate illustration of the potential battles ahead if Trump follows through with a plan that would hand a political hot potato to Republicans on the Hill who have a long history of dropping it.

Two people familiar with his decision making said Sunday that Trump was preparing to announce an end to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA program, but with a sixmonth delay intended to give Congress time to pass legislation that would address the status of the hundreds of thousands of immigrants

covered by the program.

The move comes after a long and notably public deliberation. Despite campaigning as an immigration hardliner, Trump has said he is sympathetic to the plight of the immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children and in some cases have no memories of the countries they were born in.

But such an approach — essentially kicking the can down the road and letting Congress deal with it— is fraught with uncertainty and political perils that amount, according to one vocal opponent, to “Republican suicide.”

Still other Republicans say they are ready to take on a topic that has proven a non-starter and career-breaker for decades. “ I f P r e s i d e n t Tr u m p makes this decision we will work to find a legislative solution to their dilemma,” said Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham.

Tech students, faculty showcase art at First Friday, School of Art

By MARY BETH HOLM Staff Writer

Landmark Arts at Texas Tech’s Art Building currently exhibits “Casa de Fruta y Pan,”

by Meg Griffiths. The exhibition will be on display in the Landmark Art SRO Photo Gallery until September 17.

Griffiths is a visiting professor at Tech from Washington and Lee University, and earned her Masters of Fine Arts in Photography from Savannah College of Art and Design.

She was recently honored with the 2017 Julia Margaret Cameron Award for Women Photographers, according to the School of Art press release.

The exhibition debuted as part of First Friday Art Trail.

For the first Friday of every month, Texas Tech students and Lubbock natives flock to the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts for the First Friday Art Trail.

This month, students and professionals from the Texas Tech School of Art will showcase their pieces in two different locations.

“Casa de Fruta y Pan” is a series of photos taken during Griffiths’ travels to Cuba.

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Miller said her love for research began in her general chemistry course, taught by Dominick Casadonte, Minnie Stevens Piper Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry.

“Amanda (Miller) was one of the strongest general chemistry students that I have had here at Texas Tech in over 25 years,” Casadonte said. “She has a lot of research and intellectual attributes that I would see in senior graduate students.

Her ability to think through a problem clearly is one of the strongest I think I have

The exhibition intended to push past preconceived notions of Cuba as a purely communist country and to gain a fuller view of domestic and familial culture, according to the press release.

The School of Art also showcased Kim Timmons’ “Waterfalls,” a series of work that uses and combines glass, textiles, sewing, and fabric dying. Timmons is a Tech graduate student from Burnet working on her Masters of Art Education.

“Waterfalls” was exhibited at the Texas Tech Satellite Gallery in the Charles Adams Studio Project. As a part of her thesis, Timmons had to put on an art show featuring her work.

Timmons’ inspiration behind “Waterfalls” was initially an assignment from a class at Tech on storytelling through art. Timmons said the professor wanted the students to focus on making their art about them and their life.

“I thought my life was like a waterfall,” Timmons said. “Sometimes it’s calm; sometimes it’s easy. There

are times that I’m blindsided, and it’s a sheer drop. Other times it’s a little drop, and you have to turn and go another direction.”

Timmons said she has been drawing since she was ten years old, and took neighborhood art classes at her local gallery.

She then graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.

Another of Timmons’ pieces, titled “Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” was completed during a three-week residency in North Carolina. While there, she visited Pisgah National Forest to sketch the 61 waterfalls in the forest. Despite having an injured ankle, Timmons hiked to many of these waterfalls on her own.

Timmons said the first waterfall was too crowded and was not able to find a place to set her materials up. Timmons was ready to go to the second waterfall, but after talking to others coming from the waterfall, she turned around. The last one, which she calls “Baby Falls,” caused her to turn around after seeing a woman fall into the water.

ever seen.”

Along with his general chemistry class, Casadonte has also had Miller partake in his undergraduate research for three years.

“She takes everything she does very seriously and does it very well,” he said.

“That seriousness characteristic is something that I think stood out in terms of her application.”

Along with the Amgen program, Miller was also awarded the Goldwater Scholarship in the spring.

“At the time, Amanda (Miller) was applying for the Amgen Scholars, she was honorable mentioned for the Goldwater Scholarship. She had not officially

received it yet,” Flores said.

“The Goldwater Scholarship is such a prestigious award that even just being honorable mentioned helped her get into the Amgen program.”

Miller said this program was a great experience because she did not have to take actual classes: It was entirely research oriented.

“This program was amazing because I got to work as if I was a graduate student when I have not even finished my undergraduate degree yet,” she said. “I also got to meet and talk to some of the celebrities of the biotechnology field. It was an incredible experience.”

Labor Day marches dominate public sphere fight," Springer said at a Monday morning rally.

Springer, a Democrat, has not officially announced a run for Ohio governor in 2018. Before he became a TV star, he bounced back from a prostitution scandal in the 1970s to win election to a term as Cincinnati mayor and failed in a run for governor in 1982.

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders made several speeches in the Northeast on Monday, saying Donald Trump's presidency is accelerating a trend to make America a country for the rich and not for everyone.

Sanders on Monday deviated from a typical Labor Day message, using "ugly" and "cruel" to describe Trump's reported deci-

“I said, ‘Okay God, how many times do you have to tell me this one’s not the one?’” Timmons said.

After encouraging words from her husband back in Texas, Timmons hiked the waterfall and said it was just right.

“No one was there,” Timmons said. “I sat there out

by myself and was covered in butterflies. I felt like Snow White.”

Timmons, who is also an art teacher at Burnet High School, said her residency helped change the way she understood her incoming high school students. “(These students) are out of their comfort zone,

they don’t know where to go,” Timmons said. “Now in my classroom, I tell my students that we will walk this life together.”

The terrain’s going to change, and things are going to blindside us, just like these waterfalls. But we’re going to make it through.” @DailyToreador

Harvey task force returns to Nebraska LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska task force is expected to return Tuesday after helping Texans survive the ravages of Hurricane Harvey.

Dave Kluthe is training coordinator of the Urban Search and Rescue Nebraska Task Force 1, and he says Nebraska crew members helped

in at least 1,500 rescues since being deployed Aug. 26.

The task force operations were funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The 80-member force is composed mostly of firefighters from Lincoln, Omaha and Papillion.

(AP) — Labor Day is a holiday to honor the American worker, but it also has a political bent.

Across the country gatherings and parades invite politicians to march and speak on the day that also marks a final hurrah for summer.

Here's a look at how the United States celebrated its Labor Day. Hundreds of people marched through downtown Los Angeles on Monday, calling for a $15-an-hour minimum wage nationwide and stronger union protection for workers.

The marchers held a large banner reading "America Needs Unions" as they marched to City Hall while chanting. Some of the demonstrators wore red shirts that said: "Fight for $15."

Others walked with a large quilt created to signify unity for street vendors.

Los Angeles police said there were no arrests.

Earlier Monday, dozens of workers walked off the job at a McDonald's in the city's Beverly Grove neighborhood and joined union activists in a protest outside.

California has approved legislation that will gradually push the statewide minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2022.

Perhaps the most interesting Labor Day political appearance was in Ohio, where tabloid TV star Jerry Springer was at a parade in Cleveland.

There was no crazy love triangle or confrontation that made Springer famous on syndication. Instead, the 73-year-old had low-key conversations, calling for workers to join unions so they can get back a bigger piece of the pie from their bosses.

Trump, a Republican, has slammed the program for young immigrants as illegal "amnesty."

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren released a report on Labor Day saying Trump is failing to keep his campaign promises to create more jobs and increase wages.

Instead of protecting workers, the report from the Massachusetts Democrat said the president is putting people in the Labor Department who are anti-union and want to revoke regulations they say are anti-business, but labor groups say protect worker safety.

Religious life no longer priority T

here is some believability in several people’s claims that religion is a mass cult, intent on creating a singleminded mass of human beings.

But, for me at least, there is more comfort in retaining the idea that it is a way to place order and sensibility in one’s life. I do realize that is not the most popular of ideas, but it is my belief, and I’m going to stick with it for as long as I can.

To many, it is no secret that organized religion around the United States has decreased in popularity.

There seems to no longer be the same zeal there was in years past, which in my view

is unfortunate. Now, people’s regularly scheduled Sunday morning church appearance has been replaced by extra sleep and brunch.

Who is to blame those people, though? I do not think I can argue against sleeping in.

Now, it seems there is a new wave of non-religious people who have come to implement their way of life all across the U.S. This is by no means worrisome to me but rather, hard to grasp.

I am not saying all people should live a religious life or

model themselves after Saint Augustine, but I am saying it is something different and will change the landscape of the future.

By both force and willfulness, I have been a life-long Catholic. Now, when I go to church, I see the number of people my age dwindling.

I also see people who are years older than I dwindling because of the force of nature.

I have listed in my mental calendar an entire block of every Sunday, from here until I can no longer plan, off limits to other obligations. The church is where I find myself most comfortable and in a place of civility. But, I know others do not always see it that way.

A 2016 Pew Research

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Center study found that 78 percent of people who were raised with some type of religious identity have moved on from that lifestyle. Though there were many reasons for the drop, most claimed their views on religion and the believability have grown to a point of uselessness.

Taking that into account and looking at the state of many of the Catholic dioceses around the country who are struggling to keep their churchs’ doors open, it is bad news not just for Catholics but for those of all religions.

This means that the landscape is changing, and in the near future, there may not be room left in this world for religious lives. I do not think

this is a bad thing, though, nor does this mean there is a war on those who are religious.

It could be there is an overall shift in thinking.

That same Pew study also found that a good number of those people who do not consider themselves religious still accept some spiritual beliefs; they just do not sit in the pews on Sunday and express them.

This interests me because I want to know what spiritual life is going to be like in the future. My prediction is there still may be people who fulfil their religious obligations on a regular basis. But the number will be smaller, and religious authorities may have to work a bit more practically to keep the doors

open to some places.

There are also many logical reasons why people may drift from the religion they were raised with; some may cite offensive statements, others may say there is an asphyxiation on freedom to live. I get that and deem them sensible reasons to leave the church or religious denominations.

But overall, I think there is still some usefulness in organized religions.

It has helped me learn responsibility and gain a sense of self-worth. But, that is not the story for all people, which just goes to show how damaging it can be sometimes. @MichaelCantuDT

Mnuchin: Congress should tie U.S. Congress returns to Harvey aid to debt limit bill Washington with new agenda WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress needs to combine a $7.9 billion disaster relief package for Harvey with a contentious increase in the nation’s borrowing limit, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says, arguing it is needed to ensure storm victims in Texas get the help they need.

“The president and I believe that it should be tied to the Harvey funding,” Mnuchin said. “If Congress appropriates the money, but I don’t have the ability to borrow more money and pay for it, we’re not going to be able to get that money to the state. So, we need to put politics aside.”

House leaders later said they planned to vote Wednesday on a bill to deliver disaster relief in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. The move announced Monday would

replenish a rapidly depleting disaster aid fund even as another storm, Hurricane Irma, churns out in the Atlantic.

The vote would come as a stand-alone measure, and not be tied to the contentious issue of increasing the nation’s borrowing limit.

The Senate has not said when or how it will vote on Harvey aid.

President Donald Trump visited storm-ravaged areas in Texas over the weekend, expressing hope for speedy congressional action on Harvey aid. But some House conservatives are opposed to directly pairing disaster aid with an increase in the debt limit, saying it sends the wrong message on overall government spending. Democrats have also been cool to the approach.

Linking the two issues could make it politically diffi-

cult for lawmakers to oppose the debt-limit bill.

Trump plans to meet with congressional leaders from both parties this week as lawmakers return to Washington after their summer recess.

The government’s cash reserves are running low because the debt limit has actually already been reached, and the Treasury Department is using various accounting measures to cover expenses. Mnuchin originally had said that Congress would need to raise the $19.9 trillion borrowing limit by Sept. 29 to avoid a catastrophic default on the debt, allowing the government to continue borrowing money to pay bills like Social Security and interest.

But on Sunday, he said that deadline had moved up due to unexpected new spending on Harvey.

WA S H I N G T O N ( A P ) — Harvey has scrambled the equation for Congress as lawmakers get ready to return to Washington on Tuesday after a five-week summer recess.

A daunting workload awaits, including funding the government by month’s end and increasing the federal borrowing limit to head off a catastrophic first-ever default.

But the immediate focus will be on rushing an aid package to storm-ravaged Texas and Louisiana, and that bipartisan imperative has pushed aside talk of a government shutdown and President Donald Trump’s feuding with GOP lawmakers.

“Somebody who’s just been pulled off their roof doesn’t want to hear about our internecine squabbles and debates over proce-

dure when they’ve lost their homes and are trying to figure out where they’re going to sleep the next night,” said Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pa. The House and Senate are expected to vote quickly on the first $7.9 billion aid installment to help with immediate recovery and rebuilding needs in Houston and beyond. Additional billions will be tucked into a catchall spending bill later in the month that will keep the lights on in government past Sept. 30, when the current budget year ends.

After spending the first six months of the year failing to repeal and replace the Obama-era health law and missing deadlines on other fronts, swift action on Harvey will give Congress and Trump the chance to look competent and remind voters that government can be a positive force.

“We’re not going to have to worry about defaults, we’re not going to have to worry about government shutdowns, these guys are all grown-up, they’re adults, and that ought to be the aim.”

For Republican leaders, disaster spending has the added benefit of acting as a potential sweetener as they try to get colleagues to take the perennially unpopular step of raising the United States’ $19.9 trillion debt ceiling.

Red Raider front line off to strong start

By AUSTIN WATTS Staff Writer

After taking four wins to start the season, the Texas Tech soccer team is setting the pace for the 2017 season. A part of that success can be attributed to its young frontline, which continues to create scoring opportunities for the Red Raiders.

Tech’s starting frontline consists of junior forward Gwennie Puente, a returning player, as well as new additions in freshman forward Ally Griffin and freshman forward Kirsten Davis, according to Tech Athletics.

Replacing two departing upperclassmen with two freshmen is never an easy transition, but the Red Raiders are benefiting from both of their young forwards, senior defender Rebekah O’Brien said.

‘We are still new up top. We are very young,” O’Brien said. “So, it's kind

OFFENSE

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 The chemistry between Shimonek and his offense continued in the second quarter after only three plays resulted in another Red Raider touchdown.

With it being third and 10, Shimonek found the open player, junior wide receiver KeKe Coutee, down the field for a 68-yard touchdown pass to extend Tech’s lead to 20-3.

After the Eagles scored for the first time in the game, the Red Raiders had the opportunity to continue its offensive momentum ran by Shimonek. The Red Raider quarterback continued to be perfect in passing going 12 for 12 with 221 yards and four minutes remaining in the first half.

So, I think getting the nerves out and getting experience is the goal.”

Last season, Tech put

up seven points offensively in its first five games, a n d t h i s s e a s o n , Te c h has matched that pace.

After only scoring three points through the first four games, Tech went on the offensive in its home opener after putting up

four points to defeat Appalachian State, 4-0, on Sunday at the John Walker Soccer Complex.

Davis scored her first goal of the season in the 1-0 win against the San Diego on Sunday, Aug. 27, which marked the first goal of her

the Red Raider offense nine plays to score their fourth touchdown of the game and lead the Eagles, 28-10.

Shimonek finished the first half going 16 for 17 with a total of 272 yards and three touchdown passes to assist in the Red Raiders’ lead over the Eagles. Willies continued to lead the receivers with 115 yards after three catches.

Furthermore, Coutee followed close behind with 94 yards after four catches and two touchdowns.

Willies said having multiple options on offense is beneficial for the Red Raider offense and makes it a versatile unit.

“It’s great because it’s going to be hard covering all of us,” Willies said.

“When it comes down to it, it’s really nice.”

After just nine plays in the third quarter, Shimonek scrambled outside of the pocket and tossed the ball down the field to senior wide receiver Ja’Deion High for a 38-yard comple-

tion pass to bring the Red Raiders closer to the end zone. With a 1-yard run by junior running back Tre King, the Red Raiders scored for the fifth time and extended the lead to 35-10 with seven minutes left in the quarter.

Being able to connect with the wide receivers and knowing they are going to catch the ball is a weight off his shoulders, Shimonek said.

“It makes my job a lot easier,” he said. “And then, like you said, Derrick (Willies) and Dylan (Cantrell) being able to jump over guys, the size that they have, and then Cam (Batson) and KeKe (Coutee) being able to throw it behind the line of scrimmage and pick up 10, 15 yards at a time, it’s great.”

After Shimonek handed the ball to Stockton who ran in for Tech’s second touchdown of the quarter, 42-10, sophomore McLane Carter and redshirt freshman Jett Duffey each took over at quarterback, according to

Tech Athletics. By the end of the game, the Red Raiders dominated the Eagles with a 56-10 victory for the season opener.

Shimonek showed he could follow in the footsteps of Mahomes after going 26-30 for a pass completion rate of 87 percent, according to Tech Athletics. He led the Tech offense with 384 yards and three touchdown passes.

One of his preferred targets of the evening was Willies as he had just four receptions and led Tech receivers with 126 yards and one touchdown. However, Shimonek hit many of the receivers as Coutee followed behind with 99 yards after five receptions and two touchdowns for the Red Raiders, according to Tech Athletics.

Another receiver for Shimonek was Batson who had six receptions for 53 yards and was targeted six times for a perfect pass-completion rate.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said the strong showing from Shimonek speaks not

collegiate career, according to Tech Athletics. She followed that with a goal against Appalachian State, which puts her at two goals this season.

Griffin also scored her first goal of the season and collegiate career in the win over Appalachian State, according to Tech Athletics. She led the Red Raiders by scoring the first goal of the match.

Griffin said patience is key when it comes to being on the frontline and looking for the perfect situation to score, which is what that team needs to improve on.

“It was a lot of patience definitely. We were rushing and trying to force the ball, and we should have just calmed down and played our game,” Griffin said. “ We worked up to that. I guess, I was just very calm on the ball and took my time and just did my thing.”

Puente recorded her first score of the season minutes after Griffin, which helped

increase Tech’s momentum early on. This marked her sixth career goal, according to Tech Athletics. It resonated throughout the scoreboard that the Tech frontline has set the pace for the 2017 season as action continues at 5:30 p.m. on Friday against Arizona State in Tempe, Arizona.

When referring to the Red Raider frontline, Tech coach Tom Stone said the attacking nature the forwards showed close to the net explains why Tech rose above Appalachian State and he hopes they keep up the intensity.

“So many players are willing to get forward,” Stone said. “I think we had four, five or six in the box or just outside of the box all running on to it, just swarming the ball. I think three players touched (the ball) in that quick sequence, and everybody was really assertive in their decisions and behavior.” @AustinWattsDT

Tom Herman's Texas coaching debut dud with familiar problems AUSTIN (AP) — Bad defense, bad special teams and bad penalties. And the same old result.

Outside of those $10 million locker rooms, Tom Herman hasn't really fixed much at Texas so far.

With a 51-41 loss to Maryland on Saturday, Herman's Longhorns tripped into the 2017 season looking a lot like the team from 2016. And

2015. And 2014.

Once again, Texas got pushed around at the line of scrimmage and gave up big plays on special teams along with big-play touchdowns in a loss that deflated a fan base eager for Herman to turn things around after three consecutive losing seasons under Charlie Strong.

Te x a s i s b a c k ? B a c k to where it was before.

And Strong isn't around to blame for this one. Herman praised his team for fighting to the end of the game but that will be of little solace in a program that lost its home opener for the first time since 1999.

Herman didn't sound angry in his postgame comments. He was rather subdued. And his players said the problems can be fixed.

"It was a lot of self-

inflicted wounds. We're going to get those things fixed because those are game changers," junior linebacker Malik Jefferson said.

That too sounds a lot like what Texas players have been saying for years.

But how to fix a defensive line that continues to get pushed around at the line of scrimmage? Herman chided the defensive line

when he first arrived, but softened last week when he called it the surprise group of training camp.

Nose tackle Poona Ford was named a team captain.

Ford blocked a field goal that was returned for a touchdown, but Maryland manhandled Texas' defensive front, averaging 6.1 yards per rush. Ty Johnson ran for 132 yards on 12 carries, an average of

11 yards per carry, for the Terrapins. Before he got hurt in the third quarter, Maryland quarterback Tyrrell Pigrome was 9 of 12 passing for 175 yards and two touchdowns. Freshman Kasim Hill was 3 of 3 and converted a huge fourth quarter third down that set up a touchdown.

Pigrome "threw the ball better than we thought he could," Herman said.

Tech’s secondary helps in home opener

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

After showing its strength in the backfield during Texas Tech’s season opener, the Red Raider secondary will continue to make defensive strides as it hosts Arizona State after a bye week.

The Texas Tech secondary totaled 28 tackles, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, one interception, four pass breakups and one defensive touchdown against Eastern Washington on Saturday, at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Junior defensive back Jah’Shawn Johnson cut short the first drive from Eastern Washington when he stripped the ball from Eagle redshirt senior wide receiver Nic Sblendorio.

Sophomore defensive back Douglas Coleman III was there to sweep the ball up for the Red Raiders on the 37-yard line.

Junior defensive back Vaughnte Dorsey said the team’s secondary could be more aggressive defensively and needs to cut back on missed assignments.

“It was definitely exciting overall, but as far as the takeaways, I would like to say we’ve been seeing them all fall camp” Dorsey said. “So, for us, it’s not much of a surprise, it’s more of what we expect.”

With 3:18 left in the

third quarter, sophomore defensive back Willie Sykes scored Tech’s first defensive touchdown of the season when he intercepted Eagle redshirt junior quarterback Gage Gubrud and returned it 33 yards for a touchdown.

Being redshirted last season, this was Sykes’ first game with Tech.

Previously, he played for Arkansas and mostly on special teams, according to Tech Athletics.

The touchdown extended Tech’s lead to 49-10.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said Sykes missed spring practice due to injury, but he is a tough player who has shown he can bounce back from adversity.

“We’re very proud of him and the way he’s handled himself,” Kingsbury said. “Through camp, (we) took it slow with him, but he’s really come on lately.

He’s got a nose for the football. He’ll stick his nose in there and had a really nice play (Saturday).”

Johnson led the team in solo tackles and was tied with sophomore linebacker Jordyn Brooks in total tackles, according to Tech Athletics.

Kingsbury said openfield tackling was a big step during offseason and there was improvement during the game.

The only points Eastern Washington could score were in the second

The secondary missed some throws that could have been detrimental, Kingsbury said, but the secondary improved as the game went on.

“Early on, we had some busted coverage where they had some guys running

open,” Kingsbury said. “I thought as the game went on, we settled in. All of those corners settled and got comfortable, and the safeties were very active.”

Even though junior defensive lineman Tony Jones does not usually play in the secondary, he was able to nab an interception from Eagle red-

shirt freshman quarterback Eric Barriere at the line in the beginning of the fourth quarter, according to Tech Athletics.

“It was pretty crazy,” Jones said. “I was supposed to blitz that play, and we see he’s about to pass. I just put my hands up and jumped man, and it landed in my hands.”

The Red Raider secondary will get to show its ability to contribute with big plays as the team prepares for its game against Arizona State at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 16, at Jones AT&T Stadium. Tech will be looking for a retribution as Arizona State took the win last year, 69-55, at Tempe, Arizona. @JackDensmore_DT

Cowboys’ Prescott, Elliott on to Year 2 as suspension looms FRISCO (AP) — Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott have quite a first act to follow as the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and league rushing leader for the team that finished with the best record in the NFC. Losing to Green Bay in their playoff debut makes it easy for the quarterback-running back duo of the Dallas Cowboys to say they’re looking for more in the 15th season for tight end Jason Witten, following receiver Dez Bryant’s first full offseason since his All-Pro year of 2014.

“For me it’s only one year in,” Prescott said.

“It’s only one year with this offense.

There’s things I can guarantee you 15-year veteran Jason Witten wants to get better at.

“I know Dez wants to get better. I think when we’re all on the same page, whether it’s right or wrong, as long as we’re all thinking the same thing we give ourselves a shot each and every play.”

whether Elliott will get a full season after breaking every significant rookie rushing record for a franchise with five Super Bowl wins and two Hall of Fame running backs: all-time NFL rushing leader Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett.

The NFL suspended Elliott for six games after concluding in a yearlong investigation that he roughed up his girlfriend in a domestic violence case that prosecutors in Ohio declined to pursue. He has appealed, sued the NFL and vowed that he is innocent of the league’s claims.

If the former Ohio State star serves any or all of the suspension, Elliott likely won’t repeat as rushing champ.

But he should have plenty of time to help the Cowboys try to reach the playoffs for the third time in four seasons.

Darren McFadden, the team’s leading rusher in 2015 before Elliott was drafted fourth overall, should get most of the carries if Elliott is out.

Hurly Long wins Carmel Cup individual title Texas Tech senior golfer Hurly Long defeated Oklahoma State junior Hayden Wood in a playoff to win the Carmel Cup individual title on Sunday, Sept. 3, in Monterey, California. The next tournament for the Red Raiders is at the Trinity Forrest Invitational from Sunday, Sept. 24, through Tuesday, Sept. 26, in Dallas.

Long and Wood went head-to-head in a playoff after Long shot birdies on the 11th, 13th, 15th and 18th holes. Then, on the first playoff hole, Long captured the

individual title, according to a Tech Athletics news release. Additionally, Long had an overall score of 197, which is the best three-day score in team history. On Saturday, Sept. 2, he finished with a score of 61, which broke the course record at Pebble Beach Golf Links.

“Just overall a fantastic weekend,” Tech coach Greg Sands said in the release.

“The only thing that could have made it better would be a team title, but I’m so proud of the guys. Hurly will get a lot of the credit, and he

should, for an unbelievable performance. However, this was truly a team effort, as well. Three top-15 finishes in a field as strong as this makes for a great weekend.

I’m looking forward to seeing where this team goes from here.”

Sands has 22 individual titles under his leadership.

This is also the secondstraight individual title at the Carmel Cup with senior Fredrik Nilehn’s win last year, according to the release.

No. 1 Oklahoma State took the team title for the

Carmel Cup, but Tech finished second, ahead of No. 2 Vanderbilt and No. 3 Oklahoma. This is also the fourth-straight season that Tech has defeated either the No. 1 or No. 2 team in a fall tournament, according to the release.

Sophomore Sandy Scott finished 10th individually, Nilehn tied for 13th and senior Wes Artac tied for 30th, according to the release.

Junior Ivan Ramirez placed 33rd, and sophomore Kyle Hogan finished in 39th. @JackDensmore_DT

Stacy Lewis wins, gives earnings to hometown relief efforts PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Stacy Lewis won for Houston.

Lewis ended a long winless streak Sunday at

Cambia Portland Classic, with her $195,000 in winnings going to the relief efforts in her home-

Oil kicking in $1 million.

“Probably was more pressure, to be honest,” Lewis said. “Honestly, I

think that’s what helped me through the week, just knowing people wanted me to do well. People wanted

me to win this for Houston.

To do it when I added pressure to myself is a pretty good, pretty cool deal.”
