he American Heart Association Heart Walk was hosted outside of the Frazier Alumni Pavilion on Saturday morning.

The walk featured a 1-mile route and 3-mile route.

The Heart Walk presenting sponsor was the University Medical Center, and the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, H.G. Thrash, Walgreens and others also sponsored the walk.

The event featured several booths to inform people about heart disease, how to handle heart attacks and other things relating to heart health.

Along with the walk, there was face painting for kids, a dance instructor to hype up the crowd, Miss Lub-

AFROTC drill team Tech drops third honors POW/MIAs straight home game

Members of the Texas Tech Air Force ROTC Saber Fight Drill Team change the guard during Saturday’s POW/MIA ceremony at the Lubbock Area Veterans War Memorial.

By JENNIFER ROMERO L a Vida Editor

Texas Tech is home to an Air Force ROTC, and an elite group of 11 members from the ROTC are chosen to be a part of the Sabre Flight Drill Team.

These 11 members hosted a memorial ceremony for prisoners of war and missingin-action soldiers all day Saturday at the Lubbock Area Veterans War Memorial.

Kyle Partin, a junior mechanical engineering major, said the drill team does the POW/MIA ceremony once a semester.

“The memorial is generally guarded for 24 consecutive hours by sabres, or if you’re a ‘kNIFE,’ it’s kind of like your midterm exam,” he said. “It’s guarded in much the same fashion as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington.”

The guard marched for 21 steps, turned and faced the memorial for 21 seconds, then turned and marched 21 steps back on the same track.

All the members of the drill team took shifts guarding the memorial, and the guards changed every 30 minutes.

“It is very long, it’s kind of like an endurance run,” Partin said. “We spend a lot of time keeping each other going on the sidelines. Once someone steps onto guard, it’s very professional.”

In its third-straight home loss, the Texas Tech volleyball team dropped three straight sets to a Kansas State Wildcats team that refused to drop marginal leads Saturday afternoon in the United Supermarkets Arena.

In each of the three sets, the Wildcats scored first.

The Wildcats gained an early step ahead of Tech as they took the first set 25-20, the Wildcats committing only three errors in the set.

Throughout the first set, the Wildcats never trailed and led by as many as eight points.

Following two kills from Kansas State off a Tech timeout, freshman outside hitter Sarah Redding entered the set and boosted the Tech attack with three kills in a 4-0 run to cut the Wildcat lead to 14-18.

Junior middle blocker Lauren Douglass landed a kill for the Red Raiders to lower Tech’s deficit to 23-20, but the Wildcats ended a comeback bid with two kills.

SEE VOLLEYBALL, PG. 5

The drill team participates in a variety of events, including athletics events, governor visits and the Techsan Memorial.

In order to get onto the drill team, Partin said members of the AFROTC have to go through a semester-long training program called “kNIFESHIP.” “The idea behind that is that a knife is a little sabre,” he said. “It really teaches people how to work under extreme pressure.

A lot of people try out for it, not many people graduate. It’s a very rigorous process, but it gives our organization the most elite group of cadets possible.”

When they complete this program, they receive white cords and drill team ribbons, according to the drill team website.

Brooks Modesitt, a senior animal science major from Palo Pinto, said he has been on the drill team since 2013.

“My favorite part about being on this team is the family aspect of it,” he said.

“We’re constantly learning about each other, what we like and dislike, and then figuring out what we need to do to come together and be stronger. It’s all about learning and bettering ourselves and helping the community.”

The AFROTC has about 85 cadets, and Partin said the drill team has a family atmosphere because of its smaller size.

October is Financial Planning Month, and Texas Tech professors and students from the Department of Personal Financial Planning were among some of the volunteers Saturday at the Lubbock Financial Planning Day. Eric Sawyer, chairman of the Financial Planning Association of West Texas and director of planning for the personal financial planning department at Tech, said the event was part of a national effort put on by the Financial Planning Association for the month of October.

Texas Tech’s Women’s Studies Program hosted the seventh annual Gender and Gender Identity Colloquium on Friday in the Red Raider Lounge of the Student Union Building.

their LGBTQ and feminist research works through the four sessions hosted from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. In all, there were 20 speakers, including three faculty members, one undergraduate student and 16 graduate students. A one-hour presentation delivered by the keynote speaker, Blaine Bookey, co-chair of the women’s rights organization MADRE, culminated the event.

Bookey gave a presentation titled, “Promoting the Rights, Protection and Physical Security of Marginalized and At-Risk Haitians and Iraqis.” She spoke about the struggles of LGBT communities in Iraq and Haiti, and how MADRE has partnered with local organizations in those places to raise awareness and promote equality.

Discriminatory violence against LGBT persons is commonplace all over the world, including the U.S., she said.

“The violence occurs in many instances in the family at the hands of parents, siblings or extended family who are seeking to restore honor to their family by ridding themselves of the LGBT member who brings shame or seeking to cure individuals of homosexuality, which is seen as abnormal,” Bookey said.

In 2009, in an outburst

of violence against LGBT Iraqis, hundreds of gay male Iraqis were tortured and murdered, she said. A substance known as Iranian gum was used to fuse shut the anuses of homosexual men during that period.

In Haiti, the preexisting conditions of sexual unrest were exacerbated in the wake of the 2010 earthquake, putting LGBT and other marginalized groups at risk for violence, Bookey said.

Members of the LGBT communities who fight for social justice often put themselves at grave risk in a homophobic society, she said. MADRE has partnered with sister organizations such as FACSDIS in Haiti and Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq to empower the LGBT communities. MADRE is an international human rights organization that also works in areas such as Nicaragua, Syria, Palestine and Guatemala.

At the time of a disaster, such as the earthquake in Haiti, there is international attention and political will to push for changes that could have a lasting impact beyond the current crisis, Bookey said.

“It is in these moments of our undoing, whether it is political, natural or economic disaster, that we are

simultaneously presented with opportunities to remake ourselves and our communities,” she said.

Nathian Rodriguez, a graduate student in the College of Media and Communication, presented at the colloquium alongside two other Media and Communication graduate students, Lindsey Blumell and Jennifer Huemmer.

“My presentation was called ‘Mobile Masculinities,’ and it looked at gay dating apps,” Rodriguez said, “and how gay men who use those apps to portray a masculinity that is indicative of the masculinity that you see in the straight-male culture.”

The Gender and Gender Identity Colloquium is unique because it provides a platform for students to present the kind of research seldom seen during mainstream conferences, he said. He was comfortable presenting his research and enjoyed listening to others.

The cross-disciplinary approach of the colloquium brings together like-minded individuals from across the university and encourages discussion of gender and gender identity issues that have been largely ignored, Rodriguez said.

It is also great to work

COLLOQUIUM • • •

Blaine Bookey, co-chair of the women’s rights organization MADRE, was the keynote speaker.

Bookey’s presentation was titled, “Promoting the Rights, Protection and Physical Security of Marginalized and At-Risk Haitians and Iraqis.”

The presentation focused on violence against LGBT persons.

with the organizers of the event who are equally passionate, he said, including Charlotte Dunham, director of Women’s Studies, and Tricia Earl, unit coordinator of Women’s Studies.

“It’s always a pleasure working with (Earl) and seeing how she’s not just excited but genuinely cares about the stuff that she talks about,” Rodriguez said. “Her putting this kind of stuff together helps not just the faculty members who do this kind of research, but also those students who are studying this or maybe those students who haven’t been exposed to it.”

For 32 years, the Women’s Studies Program has hosted an annual spring conference on the advancement of women, Earl said.

However, after noticing the need for an additional outlet for presentations aimed

specifically at gender identity issues, she began the Gender and Gender Identity Colloquium in 2009.

To further promote the colloquium and make information easily accessible, Earl said she has adopted the use of the mobile and web app Guidebook. Attendees can use this app not only to view event information, schedule and more, but can also view photos and connect with other attendees once the e v e n t i s o v e r. Wo m e n ’s Studies also promotes this event on Twitter through #TTUGender.

“This is a colloquium that I feel will continue, it will be every fall,” Earl said. “The abundance of submissions tells me that our colloquium is still needed on this campus, specifically on this topic — gender and gender identity.”

PLANNING

analyst at the event, said about 20 people attended and ages ranged from collegeaged community members to older community members about to retire.

There were six financial planners at the event, Ranck said, and the event is hosted once a year in October.

“A lot of people don’t really know what financial planning is,” Ranck said.

Sitting down one-on-one helps community members and makes them more aware of their finances and spending, he said.

Reid Guthrie, a senior personal financial planning major from Katy and volunteer at Red to Black, a financial coaching service for students on campus, said he gives tips and advice to students with various questions about loans, building good credit and budgeting.

“It’s kind of revolved around teaching kids proper money management techniques for their college careers and hopefully past that,” Guthrie said.

“Starting the framework now is really important.”

Guthrie said Red to Black hosted several different activities for students on campus during the month of October to spread financial awareness.

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Some things students or recent college graduates received tips on included buying versus renting a house, how to manage their accounts, how much to have in emergency funds and how to manage student loan debt, Sawyer said.

“Doing some of those things early can allow them to do so much more for themselves financially later,” he said.

All meetings at the event were strictly confidential and all services were free, Sawyer said.

“We are strictly there to answer questions and work with folks,” Sawyer said.

Financial planners are able to help create goals or make goals more specific for community members, he said.

The event also included short presentations on how to budget, retirement planning and investment basics, Sawyer said.

“The earlier you start the less you have to save,” Sawyer said. “Everybody can benefit from financial planning.”

AUSTIN (AP) — Drenching storms that the remnants of Hurricane Patricia dragged into Texas finally cleared Sunday without leaving behind the death or devastation of torrential rain and floods that hit the state earlier in the year.

Some parts of Texas have been pounded by more than a foot of rain since Friday, shutting down busy highways and derailing a train.

But relentless showers were gratefully the only comparison to Memorial Day storms that killed more than 30 people in Texas and Oklahoma and stranded 2,500 cars around Houston.

One man remained missing near San Antonio after authorities say he was caught by floodwaters, but no deaths in Texas have been confirmed. By Sunday morning, as swollen bayous around Houston receded and closed roads reopened in Austin, daybreak also revealed scant damage.

“We’re going to stand down the emergency management operations and call it a day,” said Galveston County Judge Mark Henry, who had issued a voluntary evacuation covering roughly 4,000 homes.

Patricia roared ashore in Mexico on Friday as

a Category 5 terror that barreled toward land with winds up to 200 mph. But the arrival of the most powerful hurricane on record in the Western Hemisphere caused remarkably little destruction, and what was left of Patricia by the time the weakened storm straggled into parched Texas was greeted with both relief and unease.

A hot and dry summer in Texas revived drought conditions that a wet spring all but wiped out. A deluge in late May overwhelmed saturated areas and caused deadly flooding, and nine inches of rain dumped in parts of Houston this weekend was the most since those spring storms.

But officials said months of sweltering Texas weather made for a more manageable drenching, which also fell at a steady rate instead of in buckets.

“We had much drier grounds that could handle more of the rainfall and soak it in,” National Weather Service Meteorologist Scott Overpeck said. “We had drought conditions we were dealing with.”

Lessons learned from the May floods also seemed to keep more drivers out of danger, authorities said.

Students play in video game tournament

By RYAN ORTEGON Staff Writer

Gamers, comic book readers and cosplayers of all kinds came out to the Student Union Building Ballroom Sunday for HUD Con. The Heads Up Display group hosted HUD Con, and it puts on YouTube videos that review television shows, movies and video games weekly.

The event featured two companies, Star Comics, a local comic book store, and Stormcrow Games, which provided various miniatures and card games for people to play.

The event also featured several Texas Tech groups such as Tech Pokémon, Tech League of Legends, Tech RPG and several others.

Some of the events that took place at HUD Con were Skype Q&A sessions with Steve Holmes from Blizzard Entertainment, David Swofford from Cloud Imperium Games and Dr. Robert Peaslee and Rob Weiner, editors of “A Serious Study of the Clown

Prince of Crime.”

The convention also had a series of tournaments guests could participate in such

as Pokémon, Super Smash Bros., Rocket League and many more.

There was also a cosplay

contest where contestants came dressed as their favorite fictional characters.

Alyssa Peden, the presi-

dent of HUD, said the event turned out better than they expected and the convention is a great opportunity for people to come out and enjoy what they love.

“We thought it was supposed to be really small,” she said. “It turned bigger and bigger, we only expected like maybe 50 people to be showing up and we have almost around 200 now so it’s a great turn out. We decided to put on HUD Con to really advertise the not as well known organizations that people want to know about but they can never find.”

The convention combined people’s love for fictional characters stretching from comic book super heroes to their favorite video game villain.

Robert Mora, the owner of Star Comics in Lubbock, said he came to HUD Con to inform people about his store and also feed people’s love for comics.

“I am here to promote the store, introduce people to comics, because I know because of movies and television a lot of people are becoming more exposed to

super heroes at least, and the art and entertainment that comes with comics,” he said.

“I wanted to give them an opportunity to have a hands on experience with them as well so we have sample copies here for them to browse, read and also giveaways.”

Star Comics is a familyowned comic store in Lubbock that has hundreds of thousands of comics people can buy and browse.

People from the Lubbock community were also invited to come out and enjoy the festivities.

Mallori McGregor, a senior in high school in Lubbock, said conventions like HUD Con bring all types of people together to enjoy the same kinds of things.

“Everybody has, the majority of the time, the same interests and it’s really fun to kind of get connected with other people who have the same interests,” she said. “Who wouldn’t want to come here and geek out over a whole bunch of different things? I mean, that’s just something that we all do.” @DailyToreador

Fraternity hosts 5k to raise money for ALS

By JENNIFER ROMERO L a Vida editor

Phi Delta Theta hosted its Iron Phi 5k at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at McKenzie Park.

Campbell Roper, a senior classics and communication studies dual major from Kingwood and member of the fraternity, said the money raised from the 5K will be donated for ALS research.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spine, according to the ALS Association website, which causes patients to lose the ability to control their muscles.

“ALS is our fraternity’s philanthropy,” he said.

“ALS is Lou Gehrig’s disease, and if you’ve ever heard about the Ice Bucket Challenge, our fraternity actually started that.”

WALK

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 People were able to give donations at the event in order to raise money for research.

The overall mission of the walk was to raise awareness for cardiovascular disease and stroke, which are the first and fifth leading causes of death in America, according to the walk’s website.

Razonia McClellan, who was handling public relations for the event, said it is important to make people aware of these issues.

“Heart disease has been the number one killer in America, and if we don’t raise awareness and raise money for research then it’s going to stay that way,” she said. “It’s very important for us to actually make sure that we are doing our part and, you know, combating that disease.”

Shawn Shelton walked with a group of members from Vista College in honor of her boss who recently had a heart scare, she said.

Shelton said she believes everyone can come together to help fight this cause no matter his or her background with the issue.

“I think it’s essential be-

The Ice Bucket Challenge was started in 2014 and is now an annual event to raise awareness and donations for ALS, according to the ALS Association website.

People accept the challenge, film themselves having a bucket of ice water poured on them, donate to the ALS Association and then challenge others to do the same.

“We’re trying to carry that on and raise money and become an Iron Phi chapter,” Roper said, “which is a chapter that raises $1,000 through a sporting event.”

The chapter is on its way to raising that much money, Roper said, and the members are hopeful they will reach their goal.

The chapter has been planning the event since the start of the semester, and Roper said it took

detailed organization to plan out.

“It’s $15 a person, and that includes a shirt,” he said. “That money will just go to our philanthropy.”

Members of the fraternity greeted people as they arrived, and they had music playing to keep the atmosphere fun.

Tatum Cagle, a freshman public relations major from Lubbock, said she attended the 5K with a group of her friends.

“We’re part of the Greek community, and we wanted to come out to support ALS because it’s a good cause,” Cagle said. “It’s really cold, but it’s a lot easier knowing you’re doing it for a purpose.”

About 40 people attended the event, and they ranged from college students to older members of the community.

Although the weather

was cloudy and colder than it had been in the previous week, the participants still laughed with each other and were happy to support the fundraiser. “ We ’ r e h a p p y t o b e here, we’re going to make the best of it,” she said.

“We’re excited.”

The 5K route went through the park, and the first three runners to finish the 5K received $50 gift cards.

The Iron Phi campaign is a national program, according to its website, and Phi Delta Theta chapters can host any type of athletic event to raise money for the ALS Association.

“We liked a 5K because we felt like everyone could participate, including the community,” Roper said.

“A lot of people are coming, and we’re just glad to be here.”

cause I think that a lot of people here have been touched by a heart scare, whether it was a family member or was someone that they know, and so to have the community come together to support this is really awesome,” Shelton said.

At one point during the opening ceremonies people were asked to raise their hands if they have or if any one they know has been affected by heart disease, and nearly all hands in the area rose up in the air.

Steve Conner, a participant in the walk and a survivor of quadruple bypass surgery, said he thought the entire atmosphere of the walk was incredible.

“I think it is wonderful, it’s nice and cool outside and everybody is just ready to go,” he said. “Any time you can get people together and get them working for a cause is just better for America and better for the Heart Association” Many people, such as Kimberly Gutierrez, who raised more than $4,000 for the cause, made incredibly generous donations and received rewards for their kindness.

The walk exceeded its goal of $110,000 and raised a total of $115,446 for research.

The POW/MIA ceremony is important because it recognizes and honors local veterans, Modesitt said, and it tests the drill team’s will and character because of the long hours involved.

“This is the only ceremony when you’re on the spot and it’s just you out there marching by yourself,” Partin said. “A lot of tradition goes into this, and we want to be as respectful as possible. You’re out there for half an hour, come hell or high water.”

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 The camaraderie goes beyond drill team functions, Partin said, and the members help each other with schoolwork and spend time together socially.

“We try to do all that we can to give back to the community,” Modesitt said.

“This is just a small way that we can give back. Even through all the hardship we may face, everyone wakes up and does what they need to do, and they do it with a great attitude. It means a lot to know these people are going into our military.”

Is society too forgiving of Blue Bell Creameries?

Listeria outbreak is no joke, Blue Bell has paid for its society proves too forgiving mistake, time to move on

T

here are many dangerous things in the world, but ice cream should not be one of them.

When my mom nestles a creamy scoop of vanilla Blue Bell ice cream next to a slice of my birthday cake, there should be little worry involved. Yet, when our trusted friends at Blue Bell Creameries recalled their products in the wake of a listeria outbreak, we started to think twice before consuming their frozen confections.

This past April, Lindsey Wise of The Seattle Times wrote, “Listeria monocytogenes is a germ that can contaminate food and cause a deadly infection, listeriosis, that’s characterized by high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.”

Similar to the flu, these symptoms really don’t seem too unusual. However, Wise goes on to say, “Listeriosis has been known to cause miscarriage or stillbirth, a particular concern for expectant mothers craving ice cream.”

Imagine an expectant mother, who already has a million things in the world she is supposed to avoid, thinking one little Blue Bell fudge pop probably wouldn’t do any harm. This should be a completely reasonable thought. After all, her baby’s life should not be at risk simply because she wanted some ice cream.

It should be obvious that a food manufacturer’s top priority is to make food that won’t kill us. It is more important than making the food taste good. It is more important than the food looking nice. All we ask is these food manufacturers make food that does not kill us.

This is why the listeria outbreak in Blue Bell ice cream is not so much an issue that needs to be resolved by forcing us to fast from Blue Bell for a little while, but an issue that needs to be resolved with some serious trust rebuilding.

Please do not get me wrong. I absolutely love Blue Bell ice cream. “Is it Blue Bell?” my dad would ask every time I offered to scoop some ice cream up for us. And if I tried to pass off a different vanilla ice cream as Blue Bell, my dad could tell. Have you ever seen someone reject ice cream?

It is a sad sight.

With that said, it is quite

clear Blue Bell has a serious fan base — a fact the company is very aware of.

They know we serve their little mini ice cream cups at birthday parties, share a box of their ice cream sandwiches on hot summer days and construct our ice cream sundaes around their huge tubs of frozen heaven.

Therefore, when the report from their U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspection last April started by noting Blue Bell’s “failure to perform microbial testing where necessary to identify possible food contamination,” I was shocked.

They weren’t testing the “food contact surfaces” for bacteria, they didn’t know they had been harboring three deadly strands of it and they sure as heck didn’t know their lack of information was about to cost people their lives. We trust them to make a quality product, and yet they didn’t seem to be taking that seriously.

On top of that, Blue Bell knew listeria is a common bacterial problem in ice cream because it thrives in cold, damp environments and on chilly, wet products.

As Alexandra Sifferlin says in her Time Magazine article titled, “How Ice Cream Gets Contaminated — and Sometimes Kills,” there have been several recent cases of listeria contaminating other chilled dairy products, all resulting in at least one death.

So it is probable Blue Bell was very aware listeria is a real and deadly problem for manufacturers of dairy products. Yet, for such a well-established company, it did not seem to be taking appropriate precautions to prevent against a listeria outbreak.

In fact, the FDA even confirms this when, in Blue Bell’s inspection report, they note, “all reasonable precautions (were) not taken to ensure that production procedures do not contribute contamination from any source.”

Blue Bell was not even taking reasonable precautions to prevent a bacterial outbreak. The company we invite into our homes, our celebrations and our lives is not even doing the mini-

advertising revenues generated by the student sales staff with free campus distribution resulting from student service fees.

slightly off.

I had the scoop, the cones and everything else I needed except for the ice cream. When I realized the ice cream wasn’t there, I finally noticed the sign on top of our ice cream station which read something like: “Out of stock on all Blue Bell items due to a voluntary recall.” I apologized for the inconvenience, and she seemed just as shocked as I was. However, her shock seemed to be followed with a genuine sadness.

People were lining up when Blue Bell started putting its ice cream back on the shelves. According to the Dallas News article, “Blue Bell-Deprived Houston Residents Line Up Early as Beloved Ice Cream Returns to Stores,”

by Karen Robinson-Jacobs, people were waiting outside Kroger stores as early as 5:30 a.m. People were incredibly excited for the return of Blue Bell, even though the company was only in its first phase of redistribution.

According to CBS News’ article, “Blue Bell Listeria Discovered Thanks to Random Testing” on the CBS News website, there are some people who aren’t on the same page as those celebrating Blue Bell’s return.

Two former employees, Terry Schultz and Gerald Bland, told CBS News about some of the horrid conditions they witnessed in the Blue Bell factories that could’ve led to the contamination. However, it doesn’t seem plausible to use laid-off employees as reliable sources. There is no telling how the employees feel toward the

company after no longer working there.

Schultz, an employee of only seven months, claimed ice cream was constantly on the floor, according to the Fortune website article, “Ice Cream Melting on the Factory Floor: Ugly Tales from Blue Bell.” Schultz said the supervisors’ response to his complaints was “Is that all you’re going to do is come in here and b**** every afternoon?”

Fortune states Schultz’s conclusion as “Production was probably more important than cleanliness,” which sounds questionable.

I’m not saying everyone needs to worship Blue Bell and ignore health violations.

I understand some people may now not like the company, and that’s perfectly fine. However, the journalistic methods used to report on Blue Bell’s work practices were suspicious. By using ex-employees as sources, the evidence against Blue Bell becomes mired. To demonize a company that’s more than 100 years old and is the third-largest ice cream manufacturer in the U.S. is ridiculous.

Despite the ex-employees’ testimony, this is the first time in more than 100 years of manufacturing something like this has happened to the company. Also, according to the Fortune article, when the contamination came to light, Blue Bell recalled more than eight million products to prevent the contamination from infecting anyone else.

Blue Bell commented, “the isolated views ex pressed by two former Blue Bell employees on CBS News do not reflect the experience of the vast majority of our employees.” The comment goes on to express how serious the cleanliness and quality of Blue Bell products is taken. emartinez@dailytoreador.com

Five takeaways from Tech’s loss T

he Texas Tech football team was unable to secure its first win against a top 25 team this season on Saturday, losing to Oklahoma, 63-27. After some injuries and another poor showing from the Red Raider run defense, the season could get worse.

1. Offensive line injuries are going to hurt For the second-straight week, Tech’s offensive line allowed a high number of sacks. With four sacks on Saturday, it has now allowed nine in the last two games.

The offensive line limited opposing teams to two sacks through the first six games of the season.

The dramatic jump in the number of sacks has been in part because of injuries.

Jeremy Krakosky is a senior dual marketing and management major from Red Oak.

Redshirt freshman guard Justin Murphy is out for the season, senior tackle Le’Raven Clark was slowed this week by an injury and junior Baylen Brown appeared to be seriously injured against Oklahoma. For the Red Raiders offense to get back on track, inexperienced backup linemen have to step up.

2. Oklahoma’s defense is as good as advertised The Sooners came into the game as the best pass defense and best overal l d e fe n s e i n th e B i g

12 Conference, but had played run-heavy teams the past two weeks. With the second-best passing offense in the country, the Red Raiders thought they matched up well against the Sooners.

Oklahoma limited sophomore quarterback Patrick Mahomes II to 233 passing yards, his lowest output of the season. He was picked off four times, which is also the most this season.

Tech was limited on the ground as well. The running backs compiled 183 yards on 40 attempts, an average of 4.6 yards per rush. The good news for Tech is Oklahoma is the best statistical defense in the conference right now.

The bad news is Tech’s next opponent, Oklahoma State, is the second-best defense.

3. Perine rolls defense for second-straight year After breaking out for 213 rushing yards and three touchdowns against Tech last season, sophomore running back Samaje Perine ran for 201 yards and four touchdowns on Saturday.

Perine averaged 8.7 yards per rush for the entire game as the Red Raider defense struggled to bring him to the ground. Freshman running back Joe Mixon also found holes in the defense as he ran for 154 yards and two touchdowns.

Oklahoma State does not have a rusher in the top 10 in the Big 12, but will likely test Tech’s run defense next week.

4 . Te c h f o r c e s t u r n overs but gives ball away more With the game teeter-

ing on becoming a blowout in the first half, sophomore cornerback Tevin Madison forced a fumble that was returned for a large gain.

On the following drive, junior quarterback Baker Mayfield was intercepted by junior cornerback Justis Nelson.

The two takeaways led to 14 points for Tech and kept the team in the game in the first half. The problem was, the defense could not regularly get stops and the offense turned the ball over more than the Sooners.

Mahomes was intercepted four times, including three in the first half.

Despite keeping up with Oklahoma for a while, it is hard to win any game with four turnovers.

5. It was a game to forget for Mahomes The four interceptions were a career high for Mahomes. A few of the picks were not directly Mahomes’ fault, as Oklahoma senior defensive end Eric Striker was not blocked on a play and was able to leap and grab Mahomes’ pass. Another pick was tipped at the line of scrimmage and the last one was knocked out of Mahomes’ hand as he was releasing it.

Mahomes ran the ball 15 times but struggled to find open field as he totaled 58 yards. He did run into the end zone for a score and picked up a few first downs with his legs, but took numerous hits from the defense. A healthy offensive line is the key to keeping Mahomes from getting injured again. @JeremyK_DT

Football players step up in 63-27 loss

T

his weekend, Tech lost its third Big 12 Conference game of the season. Although senior running back DeAndre Washington said there were no positives to take away from the 63-27 loss, several players turned in performances the team can build on.

Offensive Player of the Game: Senior running back DeAndre Washington In an offensive struggle against the Oklahoma Sooners, Washington was able to make a few good plays for Tech.

Washington ran the ball 19 times for 94 yards.

VOLLEYBALL CONTINUED FROM PG. 1

Tech coach Don Flora said although Kansas State executed the plays it needed to make for a set win, miscommunications from Tech affected the team throughout the match.

“I’m not going to say they didn’t play well, I thought they did some good things, but I thought it was more taking care of our 30 by 30,” Flora said.

“That means taking care of our teammate, serving our teammates, doing the right

Washington was close to his second-consecutive 100-yard rushing game but fell short.

He now has a total of 837 rushing yards on the season and needs 163 more yards in his final games to be the first Tech running back since Byron Hanspard to have back-to-back 1,000yard rushing seasons, according to Tech Athletics.

Washington also aided in picking up six of Tech’s 14 total first downs that came on the ground.

He continues to make his mark at Tech with every yard gained.

Washington has a total of 2,756 yards so far in his career with four games remaining in the season.

Washington currently sits at seventh on the alltime rushing yards in a career in school history list.

He needs 39 more yards to pass former Tech running back James Hadnot for sixth place on the alltime rushing yards list in

program history.

Defensive Player of the Game: RS Freshman Linebacker Dakota Allen Redshirt freshman linebacker Dakota Allen led the team in tackles against the Oklahoma Sooners with 15 total tackles, 12 of those being assisted tackles.

This is now his careerhigh in tackles after previously making 13 tackles against the Baylor Bears earlier in the season.

Allen showed hustle throughout the game, which was still too little to help his team overcome the Oklahoma offense.

things to take care of our teammate and execute.”

In the second set, Tech lost in extra frames 26-24 as Kansas State edged out the Red Raiders.

Kansas State started the second set with three consecutive points, but a kill and block from Douglass stopped the Tech offense from allowing the Wildcats from taking charge as it did in the first-set.

A challenge call from Kansas State on an out-of-bounds call placed the Wildcats ahead 7-6, a lead they kept until the late in the set as a pair of errors tied the match

at 20 each. Tech nearly took the set as it neared set point at 24-23, but a Kansas State block sandwiched in between two kills sealed the set win for the Wildcats.

Redding said the Wildcats crunched out wins versus Tech as they created opportunities without committing errors from their attack.

“They were playing clean,” Redding said. “They weren’t making errors and we were making errors, and that was the difference in the game.”

In the final set, Tech recorded its sixth loss in the Big 12 Conference as Kansas

State took the set 25-19.

Despite the loss, Redding tallied up double-digit number in kills with 11 to lead the team, and freshman setter Morgan Reed, who played all three sets for the first time in her career, led the team in assists with 26.

Tech’s loss to the Wildcats dropped the team’s overall record to 13-9 and 2-6 in the Big 12.

The Oklahoma Sooners play host to the Red Raiders as the teams play a Big 12 opener rematch at 7 p.m.

Baylor facing potential huge loss with hurt QB WACO (AP) — Playoff hopeful Baylor is facing a potentially huge loss after staying undefeated, with quarterback Seth Russell set to see a specialist for a fractured bone in his neck.

Perine powers past Tech defense in lopsided game

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

On Saturday in Norman, the Big 12 Conference’s worst run defense continued to look bad, as Texas Tech gave up 405 yards to Oklahoma on the ground.

Sooners coach Bob Stoops said his offense was clicking on all cylinders, which began with his running backs.

“The O-line helped us to be able to run the ball over 400 yards and perform the way we did,” he said.

“I thought the offense was really excellent in protecting and running the ball.

Of course our two running backs Samaje (Perine) and Joe (Mixon) were special.”

Sophomore running back Samaje Perine averaged 8.7 yards per carry en route to running for 201 rushing yards and four touchdowns, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

It was his second-straight 200-yard rushing game against the Red Raiders as he ran for 213 yards and three touchdowns in Lubbock last year.

“Last year is over with.

Now it’s just about focusing on what I can do to make my team better week by week,” Perine said. “But it felt good to get out there and hit some of the open holes.”

Perine ran through arm

tackles for the entire game.

On one particular play, Perine ran to the right side of the field and was met by two Tech defenders. He was able to power through both players and run into the end zone.

“I had a couple of guys on me. I just told myself that I wasn’t going to go down on the 1-yard line,” he said. “I gave a little extra effort and got in the end zone.”

Freshman running back Joe Mixon added 154 yards on the ground and two touchdowns, according to the release. Mixon averaged nearly 10 yards per carry.

Senior defensive end Branden Jackson said they knew coming in to the game how talented the two players were, but could not make plays to stop them.

“They were a really good pair,” Jackson said. “They complement each other with power and speed, like thunder and lightning, and they made a lot of plays and were able to have a good game this week.”

Possibly the largest storyline going into the game was the Red Raiders facing former teammate and now-Sooner quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Mayfield took a backseat to the running backs and threw for only 212 yards.

“Running the ball makes my job easy,” he said. “When

Through eight games, the Red Raiders are allowing an average of 281.5 yards per

Memorial grows in Stillwater, Ok. STILLWATER, Okla.

(AP) — Anthea Lewis had tears in her eyes on Sunday as she placed a child’s hat with an Oklahoma State University logo at the base of a makeshift memorial where a car crashed into a homecoming parade crowd a day earlier, killing four people including a 2-year-old boy and injuring dozens more.

One of the injured had been a baby sitter for Lewis, she said.

“I’ve lived here my whole life and this blows my mind,” she said. “This is something that doesn’t happen in Stillwater,” Lewis said of the college town reeling from what university president Burns Hargis called a “senseless and incomprehensible act.”

Police arrested 25-yearold Adacia Chambers of Stillwater after the car plowed into a crowd lining the route of the traditional OSU homecoming parade before the football team’s game with the University of Kansas. She was charged with driving under the influence and police await blood test results to determine if she was impaired by drugs or alcohol.

Tony Bui had a perfect vantage point of the scene along with his wife and two children. Bui said he could have been killed if the car hadn’t struck a motorcycle before it plowed into the

crowd, which may have slowed its speed.

“I heard a boom, I thought it was a bomb,” he said. “I saw people flying in front of me.”

Konda Walker, an OSU graduate who was in Stillwater with her sister to celebrate homecoming, said she was only about 50 feet from the crash scene.

She said it took her a few seconds to process what had happened. There were bodies and injured people lying “all over the place,” Walker said.

“One woman was a crumpled mess on the road. They turned her over and started CPR. We realized she didn’t make it,” she said.

Three of the dead were identified as Nakita Prabhakar Nakal, 23, a student at the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond, and Bonnie Jean Stone and Marvin Lyle Stone, both 65 and of Stillwater.

Forty-seven people were injured, including nine children 10-year-old or younger.

Five adults were listed as critical on Sunday morning.

At the corner of the intersection where the suspect’s car came to a stop, a makeshift memorial continued to grow. By Sunday afternoon, there were balloons, flowers, stuffed teddy bears and candles with black and orange ribbons tied around them, for the school’s col-

Coming into this weekend, Texas Tech was ranked third in the NCAA in total offense, and ranked in the top 10 in several explosive offensive categories.

This weekend, however, Tech was held below 30 points for the first time this season during its 63-27 loss to the No. 17 Oklahoma Sooners.

This is Tech’s third defeat of the season and is the team’s third loss against a ranked Big 12 Conference opponent.

Tech had been averaging 49.4 points per game, which kept them at third place in average points per game in the country, but with the loss Tech has dropped to fifth in the nation averaging 46.6 points per game.

Sophomore quarterback Patrick Mahomes II had arguably his worst game with Tech so far, as he threw four interceptions against the Sooners. Mahomes went into the game with six interceptions total in the previous seven games.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said Tech’s early turnover made the offense play from behind and they were not able to speed up the offense to keep up with the Sooners.

“Like I said, if you turn it over that many times, it’s four times you don’t get to possess the ball or continue drives,” Kingsbury said.

“We just have to make better plays, take care of the ball better and just play better.”

The Sooners were also able to sack Mahomes four times, and Kingsbury said he expected that

“I thought for the most part our protection was decent,”

Kingsbury said. “They’re a good D-line — one of the top sack defenses in the country — and so that was to be expected.”

Tech ran the ball a total of 40 times for a net total of 183 yards on the ground.

Senior running back DeAndre Washington ran the ball 19 times for 94 rushing yards against Oklahoma.

Washington said the offense has been unable to capitalize when needed and the loss came with no positives.

“We just haven’t been making plays when we need to,” Washington said. “(We) can’t take any positives from a game like this.”

Tech’s next game will be against another ranked Big 12 opponent as it hosts the No. 12 Oklahoma State Cowboys.

“We have a big game next week, (and) another top-ranked team will be coming to our stadium,” Washington said. “We’ve got to get back to the drawing board and get back to work.”

Tech needs one more win on the season to be bowl eligible for the 37th time in program history.

Tech’s next game will be a blackout game on Halloween at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock. @BSoliz_DT
