s the Texas Tech campus prepares for Homecoming Week, the time-honored traditions are taken out, dusted off and put on display once more for students and alumni.

Bill Dean, associate professor in the College of Media and Communications and president of Tech Alumni Association, said the campus’ Homecoming traditions were inspired from those of other college campuses at the time, and over the years, they gradually became synonymous with Tech’s Homecoming activities.

“When Tech started in 1925, they looked around and said, ‘We need to establish an alumni program, and we need some Homecoming traditions,’” Dean said. “So, they saw what all the other colleges were doing, and they grabbed some of those events and made them Tech’s.”

One of those events was the annual Pep Rally and Bonfire, which has been a tradition at Tech since the very beginning, he said.

“We’ve had the bonfire for a long time,” Dean said. “Initially, we would have that in the west-

ern area of campus, since it was vacant and we could just pile up the logs and let it go. After the A&M Bonfire accident, we had to

make the bonfire safer. Now, we have it in Urbanovsky Park. We have to watch the wind and have water nearby just in case. But, it’s

still a great tradition for us and for the students.”

Homecoming is one of Texas Tech’s longest standing traditions. One of these traditions is the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen.

Tech named Suzanne Matteson of Kappa Alpha Theta its first Homecoming Queen in 1954, according to the Student Union and Activities website. Sixty-three years later, Tech has crowned more than 50 women as Homecoming Queen. The title of Homecoming King was added in 2000.

Katherine McBee, a native of Rockwall, was crowned Homecoming Queen in 2012 and graduated from Tech in 2013. McBee said she was involved in President’s Select, Chancellor’s Ambassadors and CRU and was chosen to represent her sorority because of her campus involvement.

“I was incredibly, incredibly nervous, like butterflies (in my stomach)” McBee said. “It was incredible being on the field with (my dad) because he’s a huge Texas Tech football fan. That was really neat getting to walk on the field with him.”

As the Student Activities Board arranged the Homecoming Court on the field, McBee said she and her father were coincidentally placed on the 50-yard line, which made McBee all the more nervous.

Staff Writer

The League of Women Voters of Texas and the Texas National Association for the Advancement of Colored People are being backed by the Brennan Center for Justice in New York City in filing a lawsuit against Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos.

The lawsuit was filed out of concern that Pablos’ releasing of Texas voter registration information to the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity

July 20, and confirmed on Tuesday, Oct. 3, according to a press release from the Brennan Center. The injunction hearing is set to be conducted on Monday, Oct. 16.

Voter information that would be illegally disclosed to the presidential advisory commission under would include names, addresses, birthdates, the last four digits of individual’s Social Secu-

could result in identity theft, causing great harm to Texas voters. Further, we fear that the commission’s goal is voter suppression, not voter participation. The secretary should use great care to protect Texan’s personal information.”

Texas is not the only state that has filed a restraint order on the want for voter information. Lawsuits have also been filed in Florida, New York, New Hampshire, Indiana, Idaho, and Washington, D.C., Gutierrez said.

“In Texas, there are laws in place which essentially

(are) protecting confidentiality of certain voter information,” Max Feldman, a lawyer with Brennan Center for Justice, said. “We are representing the League of Women Voters in Texas, the Texas NAACP and an individual Texan voter, and they are suing the secretary of state and director of the Texas Election Division.

The state has said that they intend to disclose the information that the commission has requested. In our view, that disclosure would violate state law.” @DailyToreador

276 killed in deadliest single attack in Somalia’s history MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — The most powerful bomb blast ever witnessed in Somalia’s capital killed 276 people with around 300 others injured, the country’s information minister said early Monday, making it the deadliest single attack in this Horn of Africa nation. The toll was expected to rise.

In a tweet, Abdirahman Osman called the attack “barbaric” and said countries including Turkey and Kenya had already offered to send medical aid. Hospitals were overwhelmed a day after a truck bomb targeted a crowded street near key government ministries, including foreign affairs.

As angry protesters gathered near the scene of the attack, Somalia’s government blamed the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab extremist group for what it called a “national disaster.” However, Africa’s deadliest Islamic extremist group, which often targets

high-profile areas of the capital, had yet to comment.

Al-Shabab earlier this year vowed to step up attacks after both the Trump administration and Somalia’s recently elected president announced new military efforts against the group.

The Mogadishu bombing is one of the deadliest attacks in sub-Saharan Africa, larger than the Garissa University attack in Kenya in 2015 and the U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998.

Doctors at Mogadishu hospitals struggled to assist badly wounded victims, many burned beyond recognition. “This is really horrendous, unlike any other time in the past,” said Dr. Mohamed Yusuf, the director of Medina hospital.

Inside, bleary-eyed nurses transported a man whose legs had been blown off. He waited as surgeons attended to another badly injured patient.

Exhausted doctors strug-

gled to keep their eyes open, while screams from victims and newly bereaved families echoed through the halls.

“Nearly all of the wounded victims have serious wounds,” said nurse Samir Abdi. “Unspeakable horrors.” The smell of blood was strong.

A teary-eyed Hawo Yusuf looked at her husband’s badly burned body. “He may die waiting,” she said. “We need help.”

Ambulance sirens echoed across the city as bewildered families wandered in the rubble of buildings, looking for missing relatives. “In our 10 year experience as the first responder in #Mogadishu, we haven’t seen anything like this,” the Aamin Ambulance service tweeted.

Grief overwhelmed many.

“There’s nothing I can say.

We have lost everything,” wept Zainab Sharif, a mother of four who lost her husband.

She sat outside a hospital

where he was pronounced dead after hours of efforts by doctors to save him.

The country’s SomaliAmerican leader, President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, declared three days of mourning and joined thousands of people who responded to a desperate plea by hospitals to donate blood.

“I am appealing all Somali people to come forward and donate,” he said.

Mogadishu, a city long accustomed to deadly bombings by al-Shabab, was stunned by the force of Saturday’s blast. The explosion shattered hopes of recovery in an impoverished country left fragile by decades of conflict, and it again raised doubts over the government’s ability to secure the seaside city of more than 2 million people.

“They don’t care about the lives of Somali people, mothers, fathers and children,” Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire said of the attackers.

Student orgs prepare for Homecoming

By PAYTON ROBB Staff Writer

As Homecoming Week rapidly approaches, student organizations hustle to get events ready.

Homecoming Week is full of activities for students, faculty, staff and the general public. Student organizations on campus also participate in these festivities.

“Homecoming is like ‘our week,’” High Riders president Jacqueline Velasquez, a senior biology major from Little Elm, said. “We start Monday at the Homecoming kickoff and have events every day for the rest of the week, except for Wednesday.”

The 2017 Homecoming theme is “Tales of Texas Tech: Published 1923.” This includes story book subjects,

said Dawn Warren, homecoming coordinator.

Each organization has a sub-theme it focuses on that falls under the umbrella of the overall theme, Saddle Tramps President Zach Williams said. The sub-themes are different story books.

The Saddle Tramps and High Riders share the theme of ‘Winnie the Pooh’s adventures in Raider Land with his friends.’

“We chose this theme because we thought it fit us pretty well,” High Rider and homecoming pep rally chair Mackenna Noland said. “We incorporated Raider Red as Winnie the Pooh’s friend.

Raider Red is either a High Rider or Saddle Tramp, so we thought it was fitting.”

Each organization associates its sub-theme into the

different activities throughout the week.

“For S.O. Sing, we are going to do a dance to the Winnie the Pooh theme song,” Noland, a sophomore kinesiology major from Arlington, said.

“We are also in Board and Banner and will use Winnie the Pooh to decorate those.”

Although some organizations incorporate their themes with their parade floats, the Saddle Tramps and High Riders will use their traditional style, Velasquez said.

“We always have Bertha (the bell) with us on our float,” Williams, a senior chemical engineering major from El Paso, said. “We have the High Riders with us, and we do our bell circle, as well.”

Each organization has a representative for Home-

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “I just remember telling my dad because I had heels on, and I’m like 5’11, and I don’t know why I had heels on, but I did,” McBee said. “And I was walking on the field and was like, ‘Please don’t let me fall, dad. I don’t want to fall in front of 60,000 people.’”

When McBee heard the announcers say Chi Omega over the speakers, she said she turned to embrace her father.

“I just remember staring at the ground when they were picking on the Homecoming Queen because they were right up in front of me,” McBee said. “I don’t know if my nerves were going crazy or what, but I just couldn’t look up because I couldn’t look because there were so many nerves going through (me).”

Five years later, McBee and her husband, Barclay White, live in Lubbock, where she works at Visit Lubbock and the Lubbock Economic Development Alliance, or LEDA, where she does marketing and media communications for both entities.

Breckyn Hughes was also a member of Chi Omega when she won the title of Homecoming Queen in 2007.

Hughes is from Midland and graduated in 2008.

Hughes said she does not know why she was nominated by her sorority sisters, but it may have been because of her high GPA and involvement in various campus organizations.

“It was obviously nervewracking, and I wanted to make my organization proud,” Hughes said. “It was a lot of fun, and I had a lot of fun through the different events and activities. I particularly enjoyed being on the field at halftime escorted by my dad, so that was a very special moment. One of the first people I got to hug after that was my mom, and that’s just a moment that we’ll always treasure.”

Ten years later, Hughes said her friends and family are still proud of her accomplishment and she still upholds the values she learned as Homecoming Queen.

HOMECOMING

TRADITION

Dean said another great tradition Tech has is the Homecoming Parade, complete with floats from student and community organizations, music and hundreds of spectators.

“Twenty-five to 30 years ago, the parade was a really elaborate affair,” he said.

“The Greek organizations would have these really detailed, elaborate floats. Every float was just more creative back then, I think, as they had more than enough time to construct them then than they do now. And, the parade was always on Saturday morning before the game.”

Kristin Miller, a coordinator in Tech’s Student Union and Activities, said the SUB hosts new events each year for Homecoming. Some events are one-offs, but others have slowly turned into traditions, as well.

“Our Homecoming committee usually has eight or nine people on it every year, and

coming, Warren said, a junior biology major from Strasburg, Colorado.

The representatives oversee all Homecoming aspects for their organizations, Williams said. They are also on the committee that picks the overall Homecoming theme.

“I pretty much coordinate all things Homecoming for the High Riders,” Noland said. “I organize rehearsals and make the costumes for S.O. Sing. I paint and design the board and banner along with a few other High Riders and some members of the Saddle Tramps.”

Williams, Noland and Velasquez all said that Homecoming is a crazy but fun week.

“Homecoming Week is super busy and a little stressful, but it is so worth it,” Velasquez said. “It is really

This year, we reached out to past Homecoming royalty to see if they wanted to be in a float in the parade, as we want them to come back and have past royalty be more of a thing here, and be more interactive with students and alumni.”

The Student Union also has its own Homecoming tradition. In addition to other activities, there is the Techsan Memorial, which is hosted at Memorial Circle.

“The memorial is for students, staff, faculty and alumni who have passed away in the last year. We also invite the families, as well, to take part,” Claire Maginness, associate director of Tech’s Student Union and Activities, said. “We have also reached out to Tech and Lubbock PD to see if we can include Officer (Floyd East Jr.) in the memorial as well, but we don’t want to add him and the family not be there, or the family be there and he is not added, so we are reaching out to see what we can do for Tech PD.”

you are and you really feel and the standards you uphold,” Hughes said. “It’s certainly affected me through even the present time in my life.”

Her advice to the 2017 Homecoming Queen is to enjoy the moment of being on the field and the moments that lead up to it.

“Be grateful for the privilege and the opportunity to represent the organization that chose you to be their candidate,” Hughes said.

“Continue to make those good decisions and uphold yourself to high standards that not only represent your organization, but also (Texas Tech).”

Anthony Contreras is from Dallas and graduated from Tech in 2003. Contreras said his fraternity brothers from FIJI nominated him because he was a part of the Student Government Association and he was the president for Interfraternity Council.

“I was very honored (to be nominated by my brothers),” Contreras said. “The first winners were also from my fraternity.”

Contreras said he remembers the multitude of events before the Homecoming game, like an interview, a talent show and even a fashion show. That year, the announcement for the Homecoming Court was interrupted by unfavorable weather conditions.

On the day of the Homecoming game against University of Missouri, Contreras said Laura Snider, the Homecoming Queen for that year, received the keys to the Texas Tech Hummer and got to drive it around Lubbock to attend alumni breakfasts and lunches.

“I also didn’t have a ticket for the game,” Contreras

said. “So, President (David) Schmidly, he gave my mom a ticket with him, and my mom sat in the box with him and his wife, which was pretty cool.”

After hearing his name over the speakers, Contreras said he felt a wave of relief wash over him but was also proud and excited.

“I was very honored,” Contreras said. “I came to Texas Tech as a freshman in the fall of 1999 from a small high school and literally knew two people, and I really thought that in those four years, I made a home and made family. It was really cool for a kid that knew no one in West Texas. I’d never been to Lubbock, and I was a firstgeneration Red Raider. No one in my family had been to Tech, so it was really cool to have that accomplishment.”

Having the title as Homecoming King opened some doors, Contreras said. When selling cars, he would have a picture of him standing next to that year’s Homecoming Queen, Snider, which put his customers at ease and acted as an icebreaker for him.

“It gave me a lot of confidence in myself,” Contreras said. “It taught me that if I set my mind to something and put a goal in front of myself that I could achieve it. No matter how big a goal is, if you work at it day-by-day, it’s attainable.”

Contreras said he advises the Homecoming King for 2017 to continue upholding a good character in his community.

“People vote for a Homecoming King (because it’s) who they like, because you take interest and show interest in what they like,” Contreras said.

“People like people who care about them.”

Homecoming week can be an exciting time for students, staff and faculty alike with numerous activities, competitions and events to partake in.

Behind all of the fun and games is a group of people working diligently to organize the week and to make it what it is. The foundation of every Homecoming Week is the theme.

This year's homecoming theme is “Tales of Texas Tech: Published 1923.” To highlight the storybook theme, students, faculty and staff can participate by donating children's books to benefit the Parenting Cottage's "1,000 Books before Kindergarten" program, according to Tech

Homecoming's webpage.

Every year, there is a homecoming committee that is usually comprised of about 10 to 15 people, Kristin Miller, activities coordinator for Student Activities Board, said. There is a theme day meeting hosted on a Saturday in either late January or early February.

At this meeting, the committee members present their ideas for a homecoming theme, she said.

"We meet and talk all day, everyone brings some ideas to the table," she said. "Then, we narrow it down to the themes we like best. From there, we go more detailed into the themes and make sure that it is pretty wellrounded, that there's enough good themes to go around, and that it's not limited."

Because of the many ideas that are presented, the committee faces some challenges in reaching a consensus on a theme, she said, and this year was no different.

Every year, they narrow down their lists to at least two themes, and the committee is usually divided, wanting one or the other, she said. This year, they were torn between two themes.

"It was half and half, and nobody was really budging," Miller said.

To solve this, she said the committee groups up multiple times to decide which theme it likes the most.

"We say, ‘OK, you like this theme. I like this theme,'" she said, "and whatever is the best idea at the end is the one we pick." @ToriMcGeeDT

Weinstein tells an unfortunately common story.

A man in power takes advantage of young women who are hoping for a chance in the competitive field of entertainment. Obviously, we point the finger at Weinstein, a sick, alleged rapist who had decades to perfect his predation of the women who worked around him.

What’s more controversial is the need to point the finger at the people who knew.

While victims should not be blamed, there is a problem in Hollywood with silent bystanders. The surrounding people who let the rumors fly, who gave up pushing the story, and who waited an extended amount of time to come forward must also bare some blame.

Anna Holland is a junior electronic media and communications major from New Braunfels.

Evil people like Weinstein will always exist, but people don’t need to let them get away with it for so long.

The problem I raise is with third-wave feminist movement’s failure to step up to the plate when women needed it the most. Although they are speaking out now, the condemnations after-thefact have done little to help the situation.

Meryl Streep claimed to be disgusted yet also claimed she “had no clue” beforehand.

Both male feminists Ben Affleck and Matt Damon

be gone.

The only problem is that the data on the national wage gap has been widely debunked because of different life choices and a tendency for some women to choose different fields than men.

The irony arises when it turns out that women in the rest of the country didn’t need Hollywood feminists to save them from financial tyranny: Women in Hollywood’s own backyard needed the elite to speak up about sexual assault.

I do not mean to put the same amount of blame on the bystanders as should properly go to the perpetrator. I also don’t want to ignore the Fox News scandals of a similar nature or President Donald Trump’s

Access Hollywood tape.

There is simply a need to emphasize how some famous people who wear the banner of third-wave feminism have failed to look inward at their own community.

Novelist Ernest Hemingway’s quote, “Being against evil doesn’t make you good,” is one that comes to mind.

If modern-day feminism hinges on meaningless condemnations of a false patriarchy, yet stops short of taking down a sexual predator before he and all of them become wealthy from it, then it isn’t feminism. The problem is elitism clothed in populism.

Unfortunately, that helps no one. @DailyToreador

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Collins urges Trump to restore health subsidy WASHINGTON (AP) — A key moderate Republican urged President Donald Trump on Sunday to back a bipartisan Senate effort to shield consumers from rising premiums after his abrupt decision to halt federal payments to insurers, calling the move “disruptive” and an immediate threat to access to health care.

“What the president is doing is affecting people’s access and the cost of health care right now,” said Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who has cast pivotal votes on health care in the narrowly divided Senate.

“This is not a bailout of the insurers. What this money is used for is to help low-income people afford their deductibles and their co-pays.”

“Congress needs to step in and I hope that the president will take a look at what we’re doing,” she added.

Her comments reflected an increasing focus Sunday on the bipartisan Senate effort led by Sens. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and Patty Murray, D-Wash., to at least temporarily reinstate the payments to avoid immediate turmoil in the insurance market, even as Trump signaled he wouldn’t back a deal without getting something he wants in return.

The payments will be stopped beginning this week, with sign-up season for subsidized private insurance set to start Nov. 1.

“The president is not going to continue to throw good money

after bad, give $7 billion to insurance companies unless something changes about Obamacare that would justify it,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who golfed with Trump Saturday at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.

“It’s got to be a good deal,” Graham said.

In his decision last week, Trump derided the $7 billion in subsidies as bailouts to insurers and suggested he was trying to get Democrats to negotiate and agree to a broader effort to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama’s health care law, a bid that repeatedly crashed in the GOP-run Senate this summer.

The payments seek to lower out-of-pocket costs for

insurers, which are required under Obama’s law to reduce poorer people’s expenses — about 6 million people. To recoup the lost money, carriers are likely to raise 2018 premiums for people buying their own health insurance policies.

Alexander and Murray have been seeking a deal that the Tennessee Republican has said would reinstate the payments for two years.

In exchange, Alexander said, Republicans want “meaningful flexibility for states” to offer lower-cost insurance policies with less coverage than Obama’s law mandates.

Still, congressional Republicans are divided over that effort. White House budget director Mick Mulvaney has

suggested that Trump may oppose any agreement unless he gets something he wants — such as a repeal of Obamacare or funding of Trump’s promised wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

O n S u n d a y, H o u s e Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., described Trump’s demand for a sitdown with congressional Democratic leaders as “a little far down the road.”

She noted the bipartisan effort in the Senate and said ultimately it will be up to a Republican-controlled Congress and executive branch whether the federal government can avert a shutdown by year’s end.

Hill, Keenan lead Red Raiders offensively

By GABRIELLE TAITE Staff Writer

For the Texas Tech volleyball team, the Red Raiders have found success on the season with a 13-6 record and an almost perfect home record of 6-1.

Junior middle blocker Katy Keenan and sophomore opposite hitter Emily Hill were among the leaders in kills during the Texas Tech volleyball team’s match against TCU on Saturday, Oct. 14, in the United Supermarkets Arena.

During the victory over the Horned Frogs, the Red Raiders broke their threematch losing streak and defeated TCU, 3-2, to get back in the win column.

Keenan, who tallied 11 of the Red Raiders’ 56 total kills, said the excitement and momentum from the win was a driving force for her as well as

the team.

“For those on (TCU) defense, they don’t know who we’re going to,” Keenan said. “So, we’re able to keep them on their heels a lot.

It’s nice.”

During the season, Keenan has made an impact with 155 kills, which m a r k s t h e t h i r d h i g hest on the Red Raider squad, according to Tech Athletics. Keenan is also second for the Red Raider in blocks per set with an average of .71 and total blocks with 48.

Hill, who proved to be a vital asset in the match after recording 18 kills, said she was simply trying to do what was necessary for the team to take the win.

Hill said the Red Raider victory was a team effort, and not the direct result of any single player.

“Obviously, it’s awesome to be able to do that,”

Hill said, “but the whole team played well. It made it easier to do.”

Hill leads the Red Raiders in kills with 246 this season and is tied for first in points with 71, according to Tech Athletics. She is also third on the team defensively with 149 digs and five blocks.

Tech coach Tony Graystone said this win was perhaps Hill’s most complete match of the season.

In addition to her 18 kills, Hill tallied 17 digs, which helped the Red Raiders secure the victory.

Graystone said he is proud of not only her serve receive but also the defense as an entire unit because the Red Raiders have recently focused on that aspect of the game.

“We plan to do even more in that area,” Graystone said. “But this was a really complete match for (Hill).”

Both Hill and Keenan have made an offensive impact this season.

Keenan said she plans to make an even larger impact in the Red Raiders’ upcoming matches against

the Texas Longhorns and the Kansas Jayhawks.

“I love when we show up and our first touch is

there,” Keenan said. “It just shows me that we can beat anyone.” @GabbyTaiteDT

Tech shows out at UTSA Fall Cup Bears beat Ravens 27-24 in overtime After a strong showing at the UTSA Fall Cup, the Texas Tech’s men’s tennis team will look to continue its success at the ITA Texas Regionals from Thursday, Oct. 19-23, at College Station.

At the UTSA Fall Cup in San Antonio, the Red Raider tennis team finished with an 9-1 record, which is an almost-perfect showing for the Red Raiders.

“Overall, this was our best day of the tournament,” Tech assistant coach Daniel Whitehead said in a Tech Athletics news release. “We won a lot of matches, but I was more proud of how we competed. We had several tough moments today, and we showed toughness each time. We supported each other as a team very well today.”

BALTIMORE (AP) — Connor Barth kicked a 40-yard field goal with 2:08 left in overtime, and the Chicago Bears used a 167-yard rushing effort by Jordan Howard to beat the Baltimore Ravens 27-24 on Sunday.

The Bears (2-4) blew a 14-point lead in the second half before coming through in overtime behind Howard, whose 53-yard run put Chicago at the Baltimore 40. After rookie Mitchell Trubisky completed an 18-yard pass to Kendall Wright, Barth delivered the game winner.

Making his first career start on the road, Trubisky directed a conservative game plan that leaned heavily on the run. The first-round draft pick completed 8 of 16 passes for 113

yards and a touchdown.

Howard had 36 carries and the Bears gained 231 yards on 54 attempts.

Baltimore (3-3) trailed 17-3 in the third quarter and 24-16 late in regulation before using two long kick returns to get back in the game.

Bobby Rainey took a kickoff 96 yards for a score to begin the comeback and Michael Campanaro brought back a punt 77 yards for a touchdown with 1:37 remaining. The 2-point conversion was successful, setting up overtime.

The Ravens weren't the only ones to capitalize on big plays.

Chicago used a halfback pass from Tarik Cohen to Zach Miller for a first-half score, and Adrian Amos returned an interception

90 yards for a touchdown for a 24-13 lead with 5:08 left.

Baltimore was in position for the go-ahead score when Amos got his first career interception on a pass that bounced off the chest of receiver Chris Moore, who was covered tightly by Kyle Fuller.

Chicago forced three turnovers and frustrated quarterback Joe Flacco throughout the afternoon. Operating without injured receivers Jeremy Maclin (inactive) and Breshad Perriman (secondquarter concussion), Flacco went 24 for 41 for 180 yards with two interceptions.

In this one, Baltimore gave the ball away twice, permitted two sacks and was flagged five times — in the first half.

Watson tosses 3 TDs as Texans beat Browns HOUSTON (AP) — Deshaun Watson threw for 225 yards and three touchdowns, becoming the first rookie in NFL history with at least three TD passes in three straight games, helping give the Houston Texans a 33-17 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Watson has thrown 15 touchdown passes this season, the most in NFL history by a rookie in a team's first six games. It equals the number of TD throws Brock Osweiler had in 15 games last season.

The Browns lost their

16th in a row on the road.

Cleveland made yet another change at quarterback this week, benching rookie DeShone Kizer, who had thrown a league-high nine interceptions, for Kevin Hogan to make his first NFL start. The results were much the same as Hogan threw three interceptions to keep the Browns (0-6) winless and drop coach Hue Jackson's record in Cleveland to 1-21.

Johnathan Joseph had two interceptions, including one he returned for 82 yards to boost the Texans' defense in their first

game since J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus sustained seasonending injuries last week.

Watson threw TD passes to Will Fuller, Braxton Miller and DeAndre Hopkins as the Texans (3-3) set a franchise record by scoring at least 30 points for the fourth straight game.

The game was tied at 3 after both teams made field goals early when Watson connected with Fuller on a 39-yard touchdown pass late in the first quarter. That was Fuller's third straight catch for a TD. Joseph's first interception return for a touchdown since 2014 came on Cleveland's next possession, but the extra point kick failed to push the lead to 16-3.

Dylan Cole intercepted Hogan on the next drive, but Houston couldn't convert.

Rookie D'Onta Foreman had a 39-yard run later in the second quarter to get Houston to the 2-yard line. Miller, a healthy scratch the past two weeks, grabbed a shovel pass from Watson and somersaulted into the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown and Ryan Griffin caught the 2-point conversion to make it 24-3.

Joseph grabbed his second interception late in the second quarter.

Browns quarterback woes have long been an issue, with Hogan becoming their 28th starter since 1999. But the longstanding problem seemed even worse on Sunday when Cleveland faced a quarterback that could have been playing for it. The Browns had the 12th overall pick in this year's draft but traded it to the Texans, who used it to select Watson, a national champion at Clemson last season.

Hogan was 20 of 37 for 140 yards. He was flagged for intentional grounding in the end zone under heavy pressure from Benardrick McKinney to give Houston a safety in the third quarter.

Watson found Hopkins in the back of the end zone for 3-yard touchdown pass later in the third quarter to extend the lead to 33-3.

Tech aims to break losing streak

By AUSTIN WATTS Staff Writer

After a strong start to its 2017 season, the Red Raider soccer team has suffered its share of struggles, with a four-game losing streak in Big 12 Conference play.

After an 8-2 start, Texas Tech has faltered in its last five games and has fallen to an 8-6-1 overall record, according to Tech Athletics. If the losing streak continues, Tech will miss the chance to compete for the Big 12 Championship.

Tech is showing signs of struggle in conference play this year, which carries over from last season. In 2016, Tech went 9-9-2 until facing Big 12 opponents as the Red Raiders went 2-6 in conference play, according to Tech Athletics.

Tech started conference play this season with a 3-1 win against Kansas State on Friday, Sept. 22, but has suffered losses against Texas, TCU, Oklahoma State and Baylor in recent weeks, according to Tech Athletics.

The Red Raiders’ only tie of

the season came against the Kansas Jayhawks on Sunday, Sept. 24, right before the losing streak began.

“It’s a must-win situation,” junior defender Brooke Denesik said. “We are ready to take that on.”

With only three games left in conference play this season, the Red Raiders have a conference record of 1-4-1, according to Tech Athletics. With only eight spots open for the Big 12 Championship tournament, the Red Raiders will have to win their last games to snag a spot in the tournament.

“We need to win all of them,” freshman forward Kirsten Davis said. “We are tired of losing and tying and whatever we’ve gone through. We just have the mentality that we are only going to win.”

Right behind the Red Raiders in the Big 12 standings are Oklahoma and Kansas State, according to Big12sports. Tech will need to finish on the field to distance the team from the competition and secure the eighth spot in

the tournament.

Tech faces West Virginia this week at 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 19, in Morgantown, West Virginia, which will be followed by a match against Iowa State at 1 p.m.

Sunday, Oct. 22, in Ames, Iowa, according to Tech Athletics. These will be some of Tech’s last games to get back in the win column.

Tech’s last game of the 2017 regular season will be against Oklahoma at 6 p.m., Friday, Oct. 27, at the John Walker Soccer Complex, according to Tech Athletics.

If the Red Raiders can manage to snap their recent losing streak, they will have a shot at the Big 12 Championship tournament, junior defender Cassie Boren said.

“We just come all-in, all ready. At this point, there is nothing to lose, so we might as well give it all we got,” Boren said. “Tom has mentioned that we have to put everything out on the line. When we play desperate, and we play all-in, and we’re just there for one another, we are incredible and everything clicks.”

With Rodgers out with broken collarbone, Vikings cruise past Packers 23-10 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Harrison Smith led Minnesota's defense in a thorough dismantling of Green Bay, as the Vikings knocked Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers out of the game on Sunday with a broken collarbone during a 23-10 victory that drastically altered the course of the NFC North.

Smith had 1½ sacks on safety blitzes, a diving interception and two pass breakups, helping the Vikings (4-2) limit the injury-depleted Packers to a season-low 227 yards.

Anthony Barr, who later left with a concussion, delivered the game-changing hit on Green Bay's second drive when he took Rodgers hard

to the turf as the two-time NFL MVP followed through on a pass.

Rodgers fell on his throwing shoulder, and the Packers (4-2) announced he could miss the remainder of the season.

Brett Hundley threw his first career touchdown pass in relief, connecting with Davante Adams in the sec-

ond quarter after a 63-yard return by Clay Matthews of Jerick McKinnon's fumble gave the Packers the ball at the 18.

Damarious Randall's interception of Case Keenum later in the first half put the Packers at the Minnesota 38.

But a juggling catch by Ty Montgomery at the goal line was ruled incomplete

by replay review reversal that forced a short field goal instead and kept the Vikings in front 14-10 at the break.

Keenum, making his fourth start in place of the injured Sam Bradford, went 24 for 38 for 239 yards without top wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

He threw 13 times to Adam Thielen, completing

nine for 97 yards.

McKinnon made up for his turnover with 16 carries for 69 yards and a score and five catches for 30 yards and a touchdown for the Vikings, who have won three of their past four games against the Packers after a rough stretch against their biggest rival fueled mostly by the mastery of Rodgers.

Brady gets wins record, Patriots hold off Jets 24-17 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Tom Brady's record-setting victory was hardly smooth and easy. It also wasn't the prettiest of his 187 regular-season wins.

Brady, who broke a tie with Peyton Manning and Brett Favre, had to rally the New England Patriots from a two-touchdown deficit in the first half before holding on for a 24-17 win over the New York Jets on Sunday to claim first place in the AFC East.

"I wish we had done better, but we won," said Brady, who was limited early in the week with a sore left shoulder.

"Probably a lot to learn from it. I wish we could have played better offensively. We got down early and came back.

A good series before the half.

We hung in there at the end."

The Patriots (4-2) were playing their first game in 10 days after beating Tampa

Bay 19-14 on Oct. 5, and appeared a bit rusty early as they fell behind 14-0 in the second quarter against the surprising Jets (3-3).

"This was something we needed," said safety Devin McCourty, who had an interception. "We haven't played particularly well in the fourth quarter. I thought this was big for us as a team to win when we had to play well in the fourth quarter."

New York had a chance to tie the game after getting the ball back with 1:53 remaining, but the Patriots' 32nd-ranked overall defense held on — forcing Josh McCown to throw incomplete on a desperation heave on fourth-and-17 from the 50, and ending the Jets' threegame winning streak.

"The mood in this locker room," running back Matt Forte said, "is we gave the

game away."

Brady, who already had the NFL mark for total victories, was visibly frustrated early, but got going in this one just before halftime as the Patriots tied it at 14 with 9 seconds left in the second quarter on a 2-yard TD catch

by Rob Gronkowski .

Brady then marched the Patriots down the field on their opening drive of the second half, going eight plays and 75 yards to give New England its first lead at 21-14 with a 33-yard pass to Gronkowski .

Brady finished 20 of 38 for 257 yards with two touchdowns to Gronkowski and an interception. Dion Lewis also had a 1-yard TD run.

"Every time he gets mad, you know he's in the game," said Gronkowski, who missed the last game with a thigh injury. "It gets you fired up.

Sometimes you get scared

you got him fired up."

After Stephen Gostkowski's 28-yard field goal made it 2414 50 seconds into the fourth quarter, New York appeared to make it a one-score game again on its next possession as Austin Seferian-Jenkins took a short pass from McCown and reached over the goal line for a 4-yard touchdown .

Patriots back the ball, with the Jets' sideline irate.

"I feel like I scored," Seferian-Jenkins said. "But at the end of the day, that's what the refs called. I'm going to go with what the refs said. But I've got to have better ball security."

But after the Patriots went three-and-out, the Jets were able to cut it to a onescore game on Chandler Catanzaro's 28-yard field goal with 3:40 left. But their last-minute comeback attempt fell short.

Davis sets tone in freshman season

By AUSTIN WATTS Staff Writer

After an up-and-down season for the Texas Tech soccer team, the Red Raiders have hope in one of their young forwards on the squad moving forward.

In her first season as a Red Raider, freshman forward Kirsten Davis is having a breakout year as she is second on the team in goals scored with four and has started in 14 games for the Red Raiders, according to Tech Athletics.

“We weren’t expecting (the freshman) to be this good,” junior goalkeeper Carissa Christensen said. “They came in, and they killed it off the bat. They came in and made a difference. It may be a fight to get that starting position, but they earned it.”

The Red Raiders have an overall record of 8-6-1 this season, and Davis has recorded two game-winning goals, according to Tech Athletics. In her first season at Tech, Davis has made an impact by playing in each game this year, for a

Texas Tech freshman forward Kristen Davis fights for the ball against OSU on Friday, Oct. 13, 2017, at the John Walker Soccer Complex. The Red Raiders will play at West Virginia on Thursday, Oct. 19, 2017. total of 931 minutes.

“The season has been awesome. You get so close to everyone on the team,” Davis said.

“We faced a lot of adversity, but I think that just helps us grow, especially as a freshman to do it young.”

Davis got her opportunity to make an impact early this season after sophomore forward Jade King sat out for a few games because of an injury.

King was the Red Raiders’ leading scorer from last season, according to Tech Athletics.

After King’s injury, Davis said the pressure was on her and fellow freshman forward Ally Griffin to create offensive pressure for the Red Raiders.

The duo performed amicably, with Davis second on the team in goals and Griffin leading the Red Raiders with five goals, according to

Tech Athletics.

“We definitely had to step up, because we didn’t have a more experienced player with us up top,” Davis said. “We had to learn off each other and play to each other’s strengths.”

Davis recorded her first goal of the season against San Diego on Sunday, Aug. 27, in San Diego, which was also her first game-winning goal, according to Tech Athletics.

Since then, Davis has scored three more goals.

“The first goal as a freshman is always the hardest to get,” junior midfielder Gwennie Puente said. “Since that happened so early, it’s awesome for (Davis) and great for this team.”

The St. Louis native is no stranger to being a dynamic offensive threat. In 2016, while playing for Westminster Christian Academy, Davis scored 37 goals with seven gamewinning shots, according to Tech Athletics.

“I loved playing in high school,” Davis said. “I played four years for my high school, and I also played club. I played

for Dallas Sting while I lived in Missouri, and I played with them over the summer.”

Davis said she can trace her soccer roots back to a young age, where her parents helped get her into the sport.

“When I was 4 years old, my parents just did it for fun,” Davis said. “I’ve played ever since, and I’ve never stopped.”

Early in her high school career, Davis had her mind set on becoming a Red Raider when she committed to the university as a sophomore. She said the coaches at Tech were a great fit for her style of play, along with her family loving the university.

“I knew I wanted to go to Texas because my family is from Texas,” Davis said. “The coaching staff was the biggest draw (to Tech), and I love the complex here, and the team is good.”

Davis, who has been coached by Tech coach Tom Stone, said the experience has been a positive one.

“Since I committed here as a sophomore, he’s kind of been with me since I’ve grown up,”

Davis said. “We both know how each other works, and I think this season (he has) really helped me because he knows what helps me as a player and what doesn’t.”

As the 2017 season comes to a close, the offseason looms for the players. Davis said she sees the offseason as a time to better herself and improve for next year.

“Just to stay in really good shape,” Davis said. “Continue to keep everything fresh, so when the season starts, I can be sharp and ready to go.”

With Davis, Tech should have an asset on the team.

Along with Davis, Griffin will continue to grow to ensure a strong Red Raider squad for the next three years.

“I think me and Ally play very well together,” Davis said.

“I think that each game we just get better and better and learn how each of us works.

I think we complement each other very well because we are different styled players, but I think it obviously works very well together.” @AustinWattsDT

Red Raiders focus on closing out games

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Sports Writer

With the recent loss to the West Virginia Mountaineers, 46-35, on Saturday, Oct. 14, in Morgantown, West Virginia, the Texas Tech football team failed to keep up its momentum from the first half to pull out the win.

The receiving core pulled its weight with nine wide receivers making a reception, according to Tech Athletics. In total, the Red Raider receivers tallied 323 total yards in just 24 receptions along with four touchdowns.

The Red Raiders’ rushing

game failed to deliver in a strong fashion with just 190 yards in 33 carries and one touchdown, according to Tech Athletics.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said even though Tech led West Virginia in the first half, he was disappointed with the turnout. He said the entire team has to finish games in order to be victorious.

“We’ve got to find a way to finish games,” Kingsbury said. “Next week, we have a really good Iowa State team coming in that really got after us last year. So, we just have to execute at a high level.”

Last season, Tech lost to

Iowa State, 66-10, on Saturday, Nov. 19, in Ames, Iowa, according to Tech Athletics.

In the game against West Virginia, by the end of the first half, the Red Raiders led the Mountaineers by an 11-point margin, 28-17, according to Tech Athletics. The first touchdown of the game came from senior quarterback Nic Shimonek as he found freshman wide receiver T.J. Vasher down the field for a 60-yard touchdown. Vasher found the most success on offense with 113 yards in just two receptions for two touchdowns to keep Tech in the game.

Shimonek ended the game with 323 yards for four touchdowns and one interception, according to Tech Athletics. He also tallied a pass-completion rate of 62 percent while competing against the Mountaineers defense.

When discussing the loss, Shimonek said he could not hit the receiving targets in the second half and the Red Raiders could not keep up the momentum built in the first half.

After giving up an 11-point lead at halftime, Tech lost to West Virginia, 46-35, on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017. reliable receivers, senior Dylan Cantrell, was targeted 13 times but only recorded eight receptions. He totaled 85 yards and averaged 10.6 yards per reception.

“We had plays,” Shimonek said. “I missed Dylan (Cantrell) a few times. Like I said, we just couldn’t get rolling. It seemed like everything we did, we

couldn’t do anything right.”

In the second half, the Red Raiders showed their weakness in finishing games with only one touchdown and eight penalties, according to Tech Athletics.

“I don’t think we did anything great in the second half,” Shimonek said. “We didn’t have each other’s back, and that’s

one of our characteristics of this team. (The offense) didn’t have the defense’s back.”

With 65 total tackles and 52 solo tackles, defensively, the Red Raiders could not put up the tackle numbers set in previous games, according to Tech Athletics.

Sophomore defensive tackle Eli Howard attacked the Mountaineer offense and came up with one sack and a tackle for a fumble. Howard said finishing games in a positive manner has been a focal point to this year’s team, but it has yet to show this season.

“I feel like (our team) wasn’t quite as there as they were in the first half,” Howard said.

“We’ve definitely had a problem finishing this year. They kind of exposed us, and we got to come back and work on finishing and putting the game out of reach for the opposing team.”

Despite the loss, junior defensive back Jah’shawn Johnson had a strong showing with eight total tackles, six solo tackles and one pass break up. With the win within the Red Raiders reach, Johnson said the team has to leave this loss in the past and focus on improving in the second half.

“We had this game in hand,” Johnson said. “All we had to do was come out in the second half and start fast. Just continue what we did in the first half, but couldn’t get it done. So, just get back to practice and move on to next week.” @ABoutwellDT
