By Jackie Wang @jcqlnwng Senate Bill 14 required vot- ers to show photo identiica- tion at the polls. Gov. Rick Perry signed it into law in 2011, drawing criticism from people such as U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who said Texas would be his irst stop at overturning voter ID laws, and state Sen. Rodney In her ruling, Ramos called the testimony an example of “Texas’ racially charged com- munities, the power of the polls, and the use of election devices to defeat the interests of the minority population.” Ramos equated SB14 to a poll tax and said the law used the excuse of prevent- ing voter impersonation to prevent minorities from vot- ing. She acknowledged that while the Supreme Court does not recognize voter ID laws as poll taxes, other courts have come to the same conclusion as she did. “he Court holds that SB14 creates an unconstitutional burden on the right to vote, has an impermissible discrim- inatory efect against Hispan- ics and African-Americans, and was imposed with an un- constitutional discriminatory VOTER ID page 3 UT recruits faculty through spousal hires Principal and spousal hires per college, August 2008 - June 2014 30 25 20 15 10 9 31 28 9 7 Principal hires Spousal hires Note: Some faculty hires were hired by two separate colleges or schools and are counted twice.

UNIVERSITY By Julia Brouillette @juliakbrou For couples in academia, inding a job is oten a famil- ial balancing act. As a result, universities can negotiate faculty or staf posi- tions for partners of existing or recruited faculty members as a means of being competi- tive among peer schools. A document obtained by he Daily Texan shows that from August 2008 to June 2014, the University hired 58 dual-career couples. UT created an oicial policy regarding dual hires in 1995, according to William Beck- ner, Faculty Council chair and mathematics professor. Now, spousal hiring is primarily used for recruiting faculty. While dual hiring is an important aspect of recruit- ing faculty, Janet Dukerich, senior vice provost for fac- ulty afairs and management professor, said hires are only successful if the second part- ner meets the needs of the HIRES page 2 AUSTIN CITY LIMITS CITY Council member Chris Riley discusses District 9 elections By Jackie Wang @jcqlnwng Chris Riley, Austin City Council member and District 9 seat candidate, sat down with he Daily Texan to discuss his plans should he be reelected. his year’s city election is the irst under the council’s 10-ONE structure, in which each council member will represent one of 10 geographic districts in the city. he interview is the irst in a series of three with the District 9 candidates. he Daily Texan: How do you feel about working with the new 10-ONE sys- tem if you are reelected? Chris Riley: I’ve been watching all the races, and I really enjoyed seeing all the interest in all these positions. I think it’s a very historic time for Austin. We always need to be con- cerned about big picture issues and having geographic dis- tricts certainly will position us to focus on concerns about our own areas. District 9 is a very important area for the whole city, and it’s one that really warrants some very careful at- tention. here are very unique parts of District 9, but in some ways it’s a microcosm of the whole city. DT: You’ve been very sup- portive of transportation network companies like Uber and Lyt. What prompted your active support? CR: For some time now, Austinites have been wanting more transportation options, especially at night. It’s particu- larly important here in District 9, where so many people like to come down and enjoy the nightlife downtown, but need a way home late at night. he RILEY page 3 Jenny Lewis performs at ACL Weekend One on Oct. 5.

Lauren Ussery | Daily Texan Staff ACL festival getting more diverse ume of patrons who travel to the city have done so much in terms of generating reve- nue and publicity. But, as the festival continues to change over time, it isn’t as clear which efects it will have — not only on artists but on the music industry itself. Artists, such as the Aus- tin-based country band Asleep at the Wheel, have watched the festival grow from its humble beginnings in 2002 as they’ve continued to return. “It’s a pretty well-oiled machine now. It gets better every year, I have to admit,” said Ray Benson, Asleep at the Wheel’s frontman. “[he irst year] was very exciting — they pulled it of.

Clark graduated from Aus- tin High School in 1952 and received three degrees from UT — bachelor’s and mas- ter’s degrees in government and a law degree in 1962. In addition to serving as the head cheerleader, Clark was student body president from 1957-1958 and a member of the Cowboys, Tejas Club and the Friars. Ater he graduated from the UT School of Law, Clark became a partner in the irm Byrd, Davis, Eisenberg & Clark. In 1977, Gov. Dolph Bris- coe appointed Clark to serve as a state district judge. Five years later, his fellow district judges selected him to serve as their local administra- tive judge. Among his deci- sions, he ruled in the 1987 Edgewood ISD v. Kirby case that the state’s public school inancing system was uncon- stitutional. While an appeals court reversed the decision, the Texas Supreme Court later agreed the system was unconstitutional. But it was in 1955 that Clark introduced the “Hook CLARK page 2 Chris Riley, Aus- tin City Council member and District 9 seat candidate, aims to improve urban living for Austi- nites by expand- ing housing and transportation options.

Cari Clark, Harley’s sec- ond daughter, said although a huge part of her father’s legacy is the invention of the sign, he didn’t make a big deal about it. “My dad was modest about it,” Cari said. “It didn’t really become prominent in our lives until the 50th an- niversary in 2005. I think he oten felt like he got more credit than he should have.” According to Cari, her fa- ther’s liberal values stemmed from him being the student body president at a time when the University was going through a massive transformation. “Dad said UT was really unprepared for the black students coming on cam- pus,” Cari said. “I think that HIRES continues from page 1 department in which he or she is seeking employment. “We’re not going to hire somebody who’s not going to meet the requirements of This issue of The Daily Texan is valued at $1.25 Permanent Staff Editor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Clark also endowed the Harley Clark Scholarship to provide funds for the Stu- dent Government president to support the University af- ter his death. Cari said her father had a love for gardening and read- what we would want for the initial hire,” Dukerich said. “hese have to be opportuni- ties, and, otentimes, they are.” Dukerich said each depart- ment handles individual hires diferently, but, in couple hir- ing situations, both the initial hire’s department and the department of the second- ary hire contribute funds to accommodate the second partner. When each partner is being hired into a diferent department or college, the Oice of the Executive Vice President and Provost is oten inancially involved as well. Couple hiring policies are applied to gay and les- bian couples. he University does not require couples to be legally married in order to beneit from a spousal hire, according to Dukerich. spokesman Gary Susswein said the Univer- sity does not have a speciic budget allocated for dual hires, but they identify re- sources as needed. UT More than half of the dual- hires listed in the aforemen- tioned document were made in the College of Liberal Arts. David Ochsner, College of Liberal Arts spokesman, said couple hiring usually creates a win-win situation. “We get some of our best faculty, some of our best teachers and researchers, through these partner hires,” Ochsner said. “We see it as a plus when we bring in a faculty member we’re seek- ing and they bring in a part- ner who further enhances our college and our ability to teach and do research.” According to a Stanford University report, 36 per- cent of full-time academ- ics with employed partners have a spouse who is also a professor. One such case is An- drea Gore, pharmacy and psychology professor. She let her faculty position at Mount Sinai School of Medi- cine to join her husband, a professor in the College of Harley Clark, for- mer state district judge and inven- tor of the “Hook ’em Horns” hand sign, died Thursday at the age of 78.

Ater retirement, Clark worked full-time at Clark Farm, where he grew organ- ic vegetables. “I remember when he’d sell his organic vegetables to the irst Whole Foods,” Cari said. “He was very outdoorsy, liked to be out- side and loved his garden. He liked to really under- stand something down to its essence.” Clark is survived by his wife, Patti Clark, his four daughters, their husbands and his ive grandchildren. Natural Sciences. Gore and her husband commuted be- tween Austin and New York City for ive years before she secured a position in the Col- lege of Pharmacy through the couple hiring system. “here are always per- sonal issues when you have a dual-academic couple kind of relationship,” Gore said. “I think there is an au- tomatic inferiority complex that comes along with being the spouse — even if you are incredibly competent.” Gore said these feelings of inadequacy are more com- monly dealt with by wom- en whose partners are the initial hire. “It really is a women’s ca- reer issue,” Gore said. “I think things will change when it be- comes more and more com- mon and when it happens that the woman is the initial hire and the man is second- ary. hat will help dignify the position a little bit more.” From an employer’s per- spective, Gore said it’s im- portant to seek input from other faculty when it comes to hiring partners. “If [faculty] are let out, that will also engender that sense of inequality of the spouse, even if it’s not intended,” Gore said. “If there’s an enthusias- tic embracing of the person, then that goes a very long way toward doing away with that insecurity that you might oth- erwise have when you come to a new position as a spouse.” According to Gore, part- ners of existing or recruited faculty also tend to be doubt- ful of the conditions under which they were hired and the fairness of the deal be- cause of the informal nature of the dual-hiring process. “Having at least some general guidelines would be helpful both to the depart- ment who’s hiring people as well as to the people who are being hired, as far as making it feel fair,” Gore said. David Bell, former dean of faculty for the arts and sciences school at Johns Hop- kins University, said there are certain inequities in the way couple hires are typically han- dled. Bell wrote an editorial in he Chronicle of Higher Edu- cation in 2010 that addressed a lack of formal policies regard- ing spousal hiring. It is not un- usual for universities to grant more leeway in terms of cou- ple hiring to the more experi- enced and prestigious faculty they recruit, according to Bell, who is now a history professor at Princeton University. “here’s a free market in labor, and, the reality is, cer- tain people will command more perceived value in the academic labor market than others, and oten one of the conditions they will lay down, if they’re going to take a job, is for their spouse to be hired,” Bell said. “Superstar Younger professors, who are more likely to have young children, tend to gain less from the dual-hire sys- tem than more established professors do, Bell said. faculty are going to oten have chil- dren who are raised. hey they are are wealthier; more easily able to handle a long-distance commute,” Bell said. “I think universi- ties need to be cognizant of this and try to avoid simply bending over backwards for the superstars and telling everybody else, ‘too bad.’” said universities should also be wary of poli- cies, even if informal, that are too accommodating or give the impression that a faculty’s partner has a right to a posi- tion. Despite its trade-ofs, Bell said universities typi- cally view dual-career hiring as an advantage for both the faculty and the departments into which they’re hired. Bell “You cannot hire people who are not qualiied for the job, but there’s a big diference between hiring someone who is qualiied for the job and hiring the person you think is best for the job,” Bell said. ACL continues from page 1 boutique has attended and provided fashions festival since 2002, and SoLa found- er Coral Smith also that ACL continues to improve. “he festival has done a really good job of bringing in headliners,” Smith said. “hey bring in acts for the older generations — people who have been there since day one — and have acts that will recruit younger people who’ll continue to go for a lifetime. hey’ve done a great job of making it some- thing for everybody, not just people from Austin, which is really good coming from a vendor standpoint, too.” he variety of genres fea- tured at ACL allows vendors and performers alike to reach a wider array of potential customers, something that is becoming increasingly im- portant to artists today. As record sales continue to de- crease, many artists must rely on performances to generate revenue. While playing shows is how Benson and his band- mates make a living, he said performing is more than a job. the “Festivals are now driving income. force of hey’ve really helped a lot of bands stay in business,” Benson said. “I love playing festivals because, if I play in a small town, I know the peo- ple are here to see me. hey paid money to see Asleep at the Wheel, but, at a festival, you make new fans and in- troduce your music to people who would have never come to see you.” Jenny Lewis, who has been to ACL as a solo artist and as a member of the band Rilo Kiley, said the diverse audi- ence that festivals attract al- lows for other changes in the music industry as well. “I deinitely have witnessed the rise of EDM,” Lewis said. “I came out of very indie rock festivals, and now one dude can go out with his lap- top and get a whole tent of people jumping.” his is something that Capital Cities, who per- formed at ACL for the irst time this year, can attest to. Sebu Simonian, one half of the band’s duo, conirmed the importance of technol- ogy in the music industry. Capital Cities performs mul- tiple remixed versions of their songs live. “Technology is the core of all music creation,” Simo- nian said. “It has impacted us greatly — not just on the creation side but on the pro- duction side as well.” While they do generate a large amount of exposure and potential revenue from new fans, artists enjoy these festivals as much as the at- tendees themselves. “I’ve always been on the fan side,” Simonian said. “I’ve loved going to festivals, and I feel great that they’re becom- ing so popular.” As artists become more dependant on festivals, and, as festivals continue to provide artists with new, young audiences, the live music scene at ACL is subject to change. Regard- less of whether these im- pending changes are well- received by ACL veterans, they have created a thriv- ing intersection between artists and technology.

The Red River Rivalry, or the Red River Showdown, as it is now officially known, is played every October in the neutral meeting ground of Dallas and is a time- honored tradition that brings out both the best and, some would say, worst in Texas and Oklahoma football fans. In anticipation of Saturday’s game, both editorials are running in Austin and Norman today. Despite Longhorns’ current record, Oklahoma still sucks Oklahoma hopes vengeance comes sooner rather than later Illustration by Albert Lee | Daily Texan Staff By The Daily Texan Editorial Board It’s that time of year already, the week when we pause to remember that there’s a rogue band of hill people roaming around on the other side of the Red River. Last year you came to Dallas undefeated and full of hope. We really thought you had the pieces to make a championship run. Your quarterback had a cool nickname, “Belldozer,” like some off-brand Trans- former whose special power is throwing INTs. Your defensive backs were running around pretending they were sharks like some pee-wee soccer team. It was adorable. But somehow we still managed to beat you. Even with his head-coaching death rattle, Mack Brown was able to hand your school its biggest embarrassment since the 2013 graduating class. We weren’t even really trying that hard. Seriously, the MVP was Case McCoy, who didn’t even joke about trying to go to the NFL. That’s right, this time last year you got schooled by a guy who we’re pretty sure is currently selling Cutco knives or some- thing. But really, are y’all even trying to keep us interested? Your fans can’t even get our hand gesture right. It’s sad looking over to the South End Zone halfway through the second quarter to see that your Hook ‘Em Horns is already drooping downward. And a little strange, since we always fig- ured Sooner men would have exceptionally strong wrists. It’s like you’re losing focus. You already lost to TCU, probably because Trevor Knight was too busy sexting Katy Perry. At least we can enjoy her career for these last few days before she becomes an Okie, moves to Norman and starts hanging out at T. J. Maxx. Now we’re not perfect, we know. We’ve taken our share of hits during a tough re- building year, though we’re optimistic. Sure, we lost to BYU, but they have God on their side. You guys just have the Devil, or “Barry Switzer,” whatever he’s calling him- self nowadays. Moving on, though, in light of your But really, are y’all even trying to keep us interested? Your fans can’t even get our hand gesture right. It’s sad looking over to the South End Zone halfway through the second quarter to see that your Hook ‘Em Horns is already droop- ing downward. And a little strange, since we always ig- ured Sooner men would have exceptionally strong wrists. school’s refusal to live up to even the most modest of expectations, we’ve decided to go ahead and handicap this game ourselves. You may have noticed we’ve already kicked off several players, including former start- ers. Just in case that’s not enough, Coach Strong has promised that if we’re still win- ning at halftime he’ll pull Tyrone Swoopes and let Tony Romo play quarterback. If we go up by 14, he’ll let Big Tex start calling the plays. The times really are changing. Coach Strong has brought a new dawn on the 40 Acres. We’re proud to see him enforce his five core values: honesty, treating women with respect and no drugs, stealing or guns. Which means if he were your coach, he’d kick the Ruffnecks out of the program, but he’d have to do it respectfully. But there is a fundamental difference between our two football programs. When two former Longhorn players were accused of sexaully assaulting a woman, Strong im- mediately kicked them off the team. After Dorial Green-Beckham and Joe Mixon were accused of battering young women, you gave them scholarships. Actually, it makes a lot more sense now why your lo- cal press was comparing Mixon to a young Adrian Peterson last spring. Face it, your Standards and Compliance office is about as reliable as Sam Bradford’s knees. What do the signs read at the OU Practice Facility? Give us your poor, your tired, your felonious position players with remaining eligibility? Regardless of your school’s moral code, or lack thereof, we still have a game to play on Saturday. Deep down, there’s a part of us that still feels like embarrassing you on national television. Guess old habits die hard. We live in a tumultuous period in our nation’s history. From ISIS to the Russians, the news is full of troubling headlines and apocalyptic threats. Wait, sorry, you don’t follow the news, so let us contextualize. Imagine they were going to cancel “Mike and Molly.” Scary, right? America needs some reassurance that there’s still some good in the world. Amer- ica needs Texas to beat OU. Wait, you don’t think OU is awful? Well, not sure how best to explain this, but you are. We’d rather spend six hours stuck on the tarmac after a Delta flight than attend OU. Matthew McConaughey will actually convince someone to buy a Lincoln be- fore you get us to believe your state isn’t a Roosevelt-era government works projects designed to attract and retain simpletons, like a fly trap, but with more half-finished GEDs. Oklahoma is what “Deliverance” would be like if it were set in a gas station bathroom. Just how truly awful is Oklahoma? I-35 North is the only time we’ve ever muttered “Thank God” upon seeing a “Welcome to Kansas” sign. Lastly, the Texas Department of Trans- portation has issued a warning that there may be delays this weekend because of highway construction, so be advised that OU still sucks. By The Oklahoma Daily Editorial Board Regardless of the time you’re reading this, Texas still sucks. We know Sooners are looking forward to watching the Longhorns flounder on the football field Saturday, much like their slow-moving, cud-chewing mascot Bevo, the sanctimonious cow. Besides, by the time Saturday rolls around, UT probably won’t have enough players on its roster to field a full team be- cause head coach Charlie Strong will have kicked them all off. You know what they say: Everything is bigger in Texas, including the football losses. Sure, we lost to TCU last week but at least we haven’t gotten destroyed two years in a row by an out-of-conference Brigham Young University team, includ- ing a near shut-out at home in September. At this point, we aren’t sure the Long- horns fully know how to play football. For example, they screwed up the open- ing coin toss in their home loss to UCLA, one of the most fundamental skills for any football player. It’s almost too easy to poke fun at Texas this year. When UT’s own coach refers to the BYU loss as “… an embarrassment to this program, it’s an embarrassment to this university,” it makes our job a lot easier. However, we have to thank UT quar- terback Tyrone Swoopes for giving us the laugh of a lifetime by claiming he fully expects Texas to still make the playoffs this season. Swoopes, you have got to be kidding. But then again, a bloated sense of entitlement seems to be a prerequisite for being a Longhorn. UT’s 2-3 record puts it near the bottom of the Big 12, and the Longhorns’ only wins this season are over the University of Kansas — the running joke of our confer- ence — and the University of North Texas. Granted, five of the top-10 ranked college football teams lost last weekend, but it’s still going to take near-perfection to earn one of the four coveted playoff spots, a far cry from UT’s losing record. However, we have to thank UT quarterback Tyrone Swoopes for giving us the laugh of a lifetime by claim- ing he fully expects Texas to still make the playoffs this season. Swoopes, you have got to be kidding. But then again, a bloated sense of entitlement seems to be a prerequisite for being a Longhorn. Not to mention, OU has this little thing called Sooner magic. Longhorns can doubt it all they want, but the Sooner faithful believe in their team no mat- ter what. UT’s bandwagon fan base, on the other hand, is more laky and fair-weather than tried and true. Don’t worry; OU fans will be enjoying Bevo burgers as Longhorn ‘fans’ evacuate the Cotton Bowl... Really, Texas, it’s almost sad. UT has the richest athletic program in the country, but money clearly can’t buy a tradition of winning. Texas spent nearly $13 million and developed a literal task force to bring in Charlie Strong, and the team is still los- ing to nonconference opponents. Strong is known as a no-nonsense au- thoritarian, and in a preseason speech to Texas high school football coaches, Strong said he planned to put the “T back in Tex- as.” In reality, this season UT seems to be putting the “T” back in tanking. Sorry Charlie, but some things, like UT football, are just beyond repair. We aren’t worried about the Sooners cruising to a handy victory over UT on Saturday. The team in crimson and cream in Dallas on Saturday will be an entirely different beast than last year’s overconfi- dent squad. Don’t believe us? During his time as OU’s head coach, Bob Stoops has never lost a revenge game. Texans probably don’t know how to say OU running back Samaje Perine’s name now, but we doubt they’ll ever forget it after Saturday. We aren’t opposed to all of Texas’ traits, though. As the state sign commands, we’ll be sure to “drive friendly — the Texas way” right into the end zone over and over again. The only thing that could further cinch an OU victory would be if the game was played in Norman, but we understand Longhorns are too afraid to make that trip up north. Longhorn logic says the game is played in Dallas because the Lone Star State is better than Oklahoma, but we’re pretty sure it has everything to do with OU’s 87-5 winning home record under Stoops. Not to mention, OU has this little thing called Sooner magic. Longhorns can doubt it all they want, but the Sooner faithful believe in their team no matter what. UT’s bandwagon fan base, on the other hand, is more flaky and fair-weather than tried and true. Don’t worry; OU fans will be enjoying Bevo burgers as Longhorn “fans” evacuate the Cotton Bowl en masse when the Sooners take the lead on Saturday.

Artist constructs digital media mural for Gates Dell Complex By Estefania de Leon @estefaniadeleon Casey Reas, a digital me- dia artist and professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, can paint a picture with technology. His unorthodox medium is what brought his two-part wall mural, “A Mathematical heory of Communication,” to the Gates Dell Complex on campus as a permanent installation. he piece will be unveiled Friday aternoon, featuring a Q-and-A with Reas, followed by a reception. he piece was commis- sioned through a partnership between Landmarks, the Uni- versity’s public art program, and the computer science de- partment. Reas made a point to visit the University before inalizing his installment. “A lot of the piece came out of my visit to campus earlier in the year,” Reas said. “My work for many years has worked with ideas of emergence and information theory, and it be- came a hybrid between ideas I had been working with, along with the research that is going on in the building by the dif- ferent faculty.” Reas took an original source material, communication me- dia such as television waves and radio waves, and gradually broke down their codes until they appeared to be abstract. “I start with a series of im- ages, like a collage,” Reas said. “hen I write some sotware to break them down and reas- semble them into a new form, and, in the case of this piece, that new form is printed. Even though it looks largely abstract, the origin of this piece is in a very representa- tional photographic image.” In collaboration with Land- marks, the computer science department was searching for a piece to complement the ex- isting grid-like, structured art installations in the building. Artist Sol LeWitt’s sculpture installation, “Circle with Tow- ers,” sits in front of the Gates Dell Complex. “LeWitt was creating the instructions and using people to construct the work,” said Nickolas Nobel, the Land- marks external afairs coor- dinator. “Casey Reas is using the computer in order to cre- ate the design for the work and then using the computer itself to construct the work.” Once Reas had the rendered image, the work was printed by inkjet printers onto a mate- rial similar to wallpaper. “he GDC feels very mod- ern, and that contrasts it pretty hard,” computer sci- ence junior Robert Lynch said. “Something like the Sol LeWitt painting behind the elevators has vivid colors and sharp angles, which comple- ment the building’s shape, which is why I like it.” Nobel said much consid- eration went into the place- ment of Reas’ piece. “he work is there to com- plement and be a response to its own location,” Nobel said. “his is particularly true with Casey Reas’ work, where he is synthe- sizing technology and art.” he piece was largely inspired by the book “he Mathematical heory of Communication,” by Claude Shannon, and Shan- non’s views on information theory, according to Reas. “I’m really interested in the fundamental elements in a metaphorical sense of pat- terns,” Reas said. “his piece is all about images and mass communication and about how images are taken apart and analyzed and put back to- gether again, or how they are pressed and decompressed.” Reas said the biggest mis- conception about his work is that the computers make all the decisions for him. “It’s a very traditional way of working in the studio,” Reas said. “It feels like there’s this po- tential that is unexplored, and there is just this joy of making things and seeing them.” 760 Misc.

NHL COLTS TEXANS BLACKHAWKS STARS Ethan Oblak Daily Texan Staff back kills from senior out- side hitter Haley Eckerman and sophomore outside hit- ter Paulina Prieto Cerame. “I thought we did some good adjustments [in the first set],” Prieto Cerame said. “We have to do the same things overtime, and that’s what’s going to out- last the other teams.” he Longhorns were able to settle down in the second set, as they only committed three errors. Texas opened up a 4-0 lead and never looked back, winning the set 25-17. However, the Red Raid- ers gave the Longhorns a scare in the third set, as they opened up a 9-5 lead early in the game. Texas had ive er- rors but was eventually able to right the ship and even the set at 17. he Longhorns fought past the Red Raiders to win the third set 25-19 and secure a victory. “I think this team is building conidence,” Elliott said. “I think they’re get- ting better in the routines. I thought we performed with great balance again tonight. It was a good test tonight. I was very, very pleased.” With the win, Texas ex- tended its winning streak to 13 games and have yet to drop a set in Gregory Gym this season. he Longhorns will take the next week to rest and will resume Big 12 play against Kansas State (16-2, 3-1) in Manhattan, Kansas, on Oct. 18.

After a stellar 2011 campaign, the unit was plagued by missed tackles and blown assignments resulting in, statistically, the two worst defensive seasons in pro- gram history in 2012 and 2013. shown A renewed emphasis on the defensive side of the ball came with the hir- ing of head coach Char- lie Strong. Through five games this year, the group has remarkable progress overall from the past couple of seasons. Take, last for example, weekend’s loss to Baylor, in which the unit held the defending conference champs to only 21 points, despite the Bears averag- ing more than 50 points per contest. Still, the unit believes is room there for improvement. “We definitely could play better than that,” se- nior cornerback Quandre Diggs said. “You know, we gave up 21 points that we didn’t have to give up. Of course, we had a good day. We can make it better, and we are going to continue to strive to make it better each and every week.” Senior defensive end Cedric Reed agreed with Diggs’ comments. “There’s a lot of mis- takes that we can fix,” Reed said. “We could hold a lot of teams to shutouts if we really hone in our tech- niques.” Many watching at home may have thought Texas played well defensively, but senior safety Mykkele homp- son echoed the idea that the unit isn’t consistently playing at its full potential. “We did some good things in spurts, but all around it wasn’t as good as it seemed on TV,” homp- son said. hrough ive games this season, the Texas defense has surrendered 82 points, 73 of which were scored af- ter haltime, with 42 in the third quarter alone. “Coach keeps telling us [in] the irst half we are junior playing amazing,” cornerback Duke homas said. “But second half, we aren’t coming out as strong and not inishing strong. And that’s basically where we at right now — inish strong and win games.” Defensive coordinator Vance Bedford said forc- ing turnovers is crucial for the defense. “You know, in the games we’ve had success in, we’ve had takeaways,” Bedford said. “Last week, we had no takeaways, therefore we lost the football game. A dominating football team? You’re going to get turn- overs. hat’s the name of the game. You’re going to shorten the ield for your ofense. You’re going to score on defense. Whatever it takes. hat’s what great defenses must do.” While the statistics have been better, Bedford said wins are what really matter. “It’s not important just to play hard and to play fast — but to play smart,” Bedford said. “And if we can contin- ue to play hard and fast and play smarter, I think good things can happen for us.” SOCCER Longhorns’ tough schedule continues with Big 12 leading Kansas By Daniel Clay @dclay567 he best teams in the nation will continue their barrage on the women’s soccer team’s schedule this weekend when the No. 11 Kansas Jayhawks (13-1-0) take on Texas (7-4-2) on Friday at 7 p.m. at Mike A. Meyers Stadium. Head coach Angela Kelly does not seem too concerned about the possibility of her team collapsing under the pressure of yet another ranked conference foe. Kelly, instead, gushed over her team’s per- formance against Iowa State and sounded like a head coach with postseason aspirations. “We played some of the best soccer that I’ve seen Texas soc- cer play since I’ve been here on Friday evening,” Kelly said. “It tells me that they are earning everything that they’ve been given. hat they’re recover- ing. hat they are physically, mentally and emotionally ma- ture, and that excites me for this program.” he Jayhawks will try to test that maturity with a high-pressure defense that has smothered some of the best teams in the nation. Kansas cruises into Austin with a mere seven goals al- lowed through 14 games. Senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud has been the anchor of the Jayhawk defense, re- pelling a Big 12-best 90 percent of opponents’ shots on goal. he Jayhawks’ elite back line should match up very well against a Longhorn squad that in recent weeks has struggled, especially in the irst half, to light up the scoreboard. “Obviously we need to work on some things, and I think we’ve taken care of that,” senior defender Whitney Jaynes said. “I think it’s good playing hard in the second half and knowing that we can come out hard in the first half too, so we’ll just keep working on that.” The Longhorns have been able to secure a 2-2-1 record against ranked op- ponents this season, but, if they want to continue that success, they will have to threaten the opposing net for the entire 90 minutes. “We want to be a 90-min- ute squad, and that’s from the opening whistle, and we want to maintain that kind of consistency throughout the course of a match,” Kel- ly said. “We’ve talked a lot Mike McGraw| Daily Texan Staff Freshman midielder Chelbi Orrick and the Longhorns have had a tough schedule that isn’t letting up anytime soon, as Texas takes on No. 11 Kansas on Friday. to our players about that, and I think they’re up to the challenge.” If the Longhorns can play the same high-energy tight press defense that shut out then No. 6 Texas Tech and held then No. 1 UCLA for 86 straight scoreless minutes, Kansas may have to wait a few more years to get its irst win in Austin. The Texas de- fense held Baylor and its explosive offense to just 21 points. This season, they have played well, allowing under 17 points per game. But with a 2-3 record, the unit is not satis- ied.

Friday, October 10, 2014 4-4 The series record when both teams enter the game immediately following a loss. The last time it happened, Okla- homa defeated Texas 28-21 in 2007. 17-17 The average score of Texas and Oklahoma’s irst 108 contests, although individual games haven’t necessarily been that close. The Long- horns have lost by 38 or more points four times since 2000. 190 Texas’ rushing yards in its 28-7 loss to Baylor last weekend, its highest total on the year, an encour- aging sign for a team that was averaging only 120.5 rush yards per game entering the weekend. Texas also averaged 4.8 yards per carry after only gaining 3.4 yards per rush attempt in its irst four games. 19.2 208.6 Oklahoma’s average rush- ing production through its irst ive games of the season. The Sooners aver- age 5.4 yards per carry while Texas’ rush defense surrenders 199 yards per game, which is eighth in the conference. The amount of points the Longhorns have surrendered per game, third best in the Big 12. The Sooners have only allowed 20.6 points per game, fourth best in the conference. On the other hand the Longhorns are only scoring 18.4 points per game while Oklahoma is scoring over 42 points per contest. 1 The number of times the Sooners have lost consecu- tive regular season games in the same season under head coach Bob Stoops, who took over at the pro- gram in 1999.

Teams like Georgia can work around a mediocre quarterback by using talented running backs and strong ofensive linemen, but Texas doesn’t have such a luxury. Defenses in recent weeks have taken note of Swoopes’ inefectiveness throwing the ball and have responded by playing press coverage and work- ing to take away the run. Baylor played a huge portion of the game with a single high safety and man coverage across the board. A good quarterback would view that as an invitation to stretch the ield, but Swoopes’ deep balls rarely hit their mark. Oklahoma’s ability to confuse an ofensive line and pressure the quarter- back will only exacerbate the problem. If Swoopes cannot hit his receivers in stride and stand tall against the pressure, no one on the ofense is good enough to pick up the slack on their own and the Golden Hat will make its way back to Norman. STUFF THE RUN Baylor’s ofense was one of the most explosive in the country heading into last week’s game. he Longhorn front seven, though, was built to stop Bay- lor’s inside runs, and one of the most potent ofenses in the country looked rather pedestrian until a string of three and outs by Swoopes and Co. ex- hausted the Texas defense. Oklahoma likes to run the same inside zone reads that populate the Baylor playbook, but Sooner freshman running back Samaje Perine is better suited to bang around between the tackles than Baylor’s speedsters. he Texas defense can ruin the Sooners’ game plan if the defensive tackles can repeat last weekend’s eforts by plugging the gaps up the middle. Senior middle linebacker Steve Edmond will have to be up to the task of bringing down one of the most physical running backs in the country. PRESSURE KNIGHT Oklahoma’s redshirt sophomore quarterback Trevor Knight has the men- tal faculties and arm strength to pick apart a secondary, if given enough time. His inexperienced receiving corps may not always get open quickly though. Senior defensive end Cedric Reed has been stagnant all season, partly be- cause of the mobile quarterbacks whom Texas has faced. Defensive coor- dinator Vance Bedford may want to loosen the reigns on his NFL-bound defensive end and let him get to the quarterback any way he can. Knight can run, but he has not elected to do so very much this season, and his speed is not such that he can outrun a guy like Reed. Knight is prone to the occasional bad outing, but the Longhorns will have to force one out of him. Fortunately for Texas, there is enough talent in the front seven to make that happen.

Knight has not been a huge part of the Sooner run- ning game this season, but he totaled 445 rushing yards in 2013. Texas’ sophomore quarteback Tyrone Swoopes’ steady rise took a nose dive af- ter his 144-yard, two-interception perfor- mance against Baylor. he sophomore’s inaccurate passes forced wide open re- ceivers to their knees, eliminating any hope for yards ater the catch, and he still cannot hit the deep ball. Bruising freshman back Samaje Per- ine has had success banging around be- tween the tackles in the Sooner’s inside zone read scheme. Oklahoma’s feature back sports a 6.3 yards per carry average. Sophomore Keith Ford has been a great change of pace for the Sooner ofense. Junior Jonathan Gray and senior Mal- colm Brown have yet to eclipse the 100- yard mark in a single game, but the tan- dem ran well against Baylor. he Sooners are likely to load up the box to stop the run, but both backs are capable of avoid- ing tackles at the line of scrimmage. WR OL Advantage: Oklahoma Junior wideout Sterling Shepherd an- chors the inexperienced Sooner receiving corps with 436 receiving yards and a 19 yards per catch average. Former quarter- back Blake Bell is slowly working his way into the ofense ater converting to tight end last season. he Texas receivers can get open on short routes, but Swoopes has struggled to get them the ball. Having receivers who can catch over the middle is nice, but someone has to step up and be the deep threat in this ofense. Junior speed- ster Daje Johnson’s injured hamstring is a huge blow to Texas’ big play ability. Advantage: Oklahoma he Sooner ofensive line is a sight to behold. he starters weigh an NFL- caliber average of roughly 325 pounds. If senior guard Adam Shead and com- pany can push back Texas’ physical front seven, this game could get out of hand very quickly. he Texas ofensive line did a decent job zone blocking on outside runs against Baylor, but it still isn’t generating enough push up the middle. Senior tackle Des- mond Harrison may return from his suspension soon and would add much needed experience to this unit. DL 45 LB 50 DB 45 ST Advantage: Texas Advantage: Oklahoma Advantage: Texas he defensive line had been in decline, but it played brilliantly against Baylor. Defensive tackles junior Malcom Brown and sophomore Hassan Ridgeway did a great job of shutting down the inside runs. Another great efort by the defen- sive tackles would be a godsend for Texas against Oklahoma’s power run game. Mike Stoops’ defense is in its second season playing with a three-man front, and the results have been paying hand- some dividends. he line has been criti- cized for not getting to the quarterback, but it does not have to in a 3-4. Oppo- nents’ paltry 3.1 yards per carry more than compensate for the lack of pressure. Unlike most elite pass rushers, junior linebacker Eric Striker is athletic enough to efectively drop into coverage. His ver- satility could be a massive headache for the Longhorns’ inexperienced line. His mere presence will draw attention away from the rest of the Sooner linebackers. Senior linebacker Jordan Hicks and the Longhorn linebacking corps are getting better at defending the sidelines. Even so, Texas’ big bruising linebackers are better equipped to stop an interior rush- ing attack like Oklahoma’s, and, if they can get pressure on Knight, Texas could leave Dallas with its second consecutive Golden Hat. Senior cornerback Quandre Diggs is putting together an impressive senior campaign, shooting up NFL drat boards in the process. he corner can lock down receivers and has been a key asset in stop- ping the run. Opposing quarterbacks have had a ield day picking on sopho- more walk-on safety Dylan Haines in re- cent weeks, though. he Sooner secondary has had its struggles this season, but redshirt sopho- more Zack Sanchez already has ive picks on the year. he Longhorns tendency to favor the short pass should hide any seri- ous laws that this unit may have. Advantage: Oklahoma Explosive redshirt sophomore running back Alex Ross is always a threat to take a kick for six, as evidenced by his 41.4 yards per kick return for the Sooners. Redshirt senior kicker Michael Hunnicutt is a model of consistency. he redshirt senior has hit on seven of eight attempts this sea- son, with his only miss coming from 45 yards out. Every game this season has seen un- acceptable special teams gafes from the Longhorns. Junior kicker Nick Rose is due for a benching. He had another kick blocked against Baylor, and his play has forced head coach Charlie Strong to elect to punt rather than kick long ield goals.

Gray was more efective than Brown and looks to be the top back right now. hat coupled with Swoopes’ recent performance should scream more touches against an Oklahoma team that allows over 200 yards per game on the ground. Stock Down: Tyrone Swoopes It was an awful performance from sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes last week against Baylor. He was slow running and terribly inaccurate on his passes. For a “running quarter- back,” Swoopes went for just 40 yards on the ground on 14 carries. Junior running back Johnathan Gray had nearly twice that on fewer carries. But his errant passes were even more dis- appointing. Ater a couple of solid games against UCLA and Kansas, it looked like he was getting his feet under him, but he took a major step back last week. Swoopes was a paltry 16-for- 34 with two interceptions. hat’s good for a 7.2 QBR. As for the completions he did have, they were mostly low or behind the receiver, preventing any yards ater the catch. hings get even tougher for Swoopes and Co. next week against Oklahoma. Stock Up: Duke Thomas Since being burned for the winning touchdown against UCLA in Arlington, junior cornerback Duke homas has turned it around. He had his best game of the season the following week against Kansas and then kept the momentum rolling against Bryce Petty, Heisman hopeful and Baylor senior quarterback. homas and senior cornerback Quandre Diggs shut down Bay- lor’s dynamic passing game. Petty completed just seven passes en route to a 31.8 completion percentage in the contest. he defense, led by the defensive backs, kept the Longhorns in the game. Stock Down: Charlie Strong here were times on Saturday when it felt like head coach Charlie Strong was completely out-coached. De- spite being just 3-for-6 on the season, Nick Rose was trot- ted out to attempt a 52-yard ield goal. Few in the stadium thought that was a good idea with a kicker who is shaky on extra points, let alone deep ield-goal attempts. Baylor proved the doubters right, blocking the kick with ease and returning it for a touchdown. he play calling at times was a bit shaky too, as the Longhorns seemed to rely a little too much on the arm of Swoopes when the two running backs were averaging over 5.5 yards a carry. Some of that can be attributed to the ofensive coordinator’s play calling, but Strong ultimately oversees an ofense that is averaging a mere 18.4 points per game. 9 Sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes scrambles past a Baylor defender.

IMPORTEDTEXASTRIPLE GOLD WINNER 10 Friday, October 10, 2014 11 HEARD, BUT NOT SEEN By Stefan Scraield @stefanscraield For the irst time in program history, the Longhorns have three losses on their record heading into their annual rivalry game with Oklahoma. At 2-3, Texas has been historically bad this season, and, like anytime a team struggles, much of the blame for its struggles has fallen on the starting quarterback. With David Ash retiring from football ater just one start in 2014, Sophomore Tyrone Swoopes became that guy for the Longhorns. And, while the 6’4”, 243-pound gunslinger has shown promise at times, his 1-3 record as a starter is certainly cause for concern at this point. Given Swoopes’ rocky start to the season, some have ques- tioned why the Texas coaching staf has yet to even consider giving highly touted freshman Jerrod Heard some reps. But, almost half-way through a season that has been deined by uncertainty for the Longhorns, one thing is for sure: Swoopes is the starter, and that won’t change anytime soon. “I know exactly where Jerrod [Heard] is at and where [Swoopes] is,” said Shawn Watson, assistant head coach for ofense and quarterbacks, ater Saturday’s blowout loss to Baylor. “And Ty [Swoopes] is our starting quarterback.” It even appears as though the coaching staf would prefer to use third-stringer sophomore Logan Vinklarek, a pre- ferred walk-on, if possible. Watson said, if Swoopes were to have to miss a few plays, Vinklarek, who transferred to Texas ater serving as the backup at Blinn College last sea- son, would be called upon in his place. While it’s understandable that Heard’s coaches want to protect his redshirt if possible, the way in which the staf talks about his progress suggests that saving his eligibility isn’t only reason to keep him on the sidelines. In August, Watson described the playbook as somewhat of a foreign tongue to Heard, who enrolled at Texas in early June. “Jerrod [Heard] is in China right now,” Watson said at the time “He’s still learning the language.” Heard has obviously developed in the couple months since Watson made that statement, but, based on what head coach Charlie Strong said this week, it appears he sill isn’t on the coaches’ radar at this point. “I don’t know if it’s fair to throw [Heard] in there right now,” Strong said. “We just haven’t had a chance yet to even talk about even putting him in the picture yet.” As a true freshman, Heard obviously hasn’t had a chance to prove himself at the college level, but, considering his high school dominance, it’s hard to believe he isn’t at least worth a look. At Guyer High School in Denton, the 6-foot-2, 199-pound dual-threat quarterback accumulated more than 6,500 passing yards and 67 passing touchdowns while rushing for nearly 5,000 yards and 67 more scores in three years as the starter. More importantly, Heard led his Wildcats to back-to-back Class 4A Division 1 State HEARD page 16 Amy Zhang | Daily Texan Staff Senior linebacker Jordan Hicks returns an interception against Kansas. Given their lackluster offense, the Longhorns will need to force turnovers and come up with big plays on special teams in order to pull off another upset over Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry in Dallas this weekend. Momentum key against Sooners By Drew Lieberman @DrewLieberman Every October, one of the great- est rivalries in college football is renewed as Texas and Oklahoma meet at the Cotton Bowl — with the Golden Hat at stake. One component that helps make this rivalry truly unique is the crowd. With half the stadium wearing burnt orange and half in crim- son, a good portion of the fans are always cheering, no matter the score. “It’s kind of really loud the whole time,” sophomore quarter- back Tyrone Swoopes said. “So nothing really gets quiet or noth- ing really settles down. It’s kind of always electric and going the whole time.” Because of the 50-50 split, mo- mentum tends to play an even big- ger role than usual in determining the outcome of the game. When things are going well for a team, they can feed of of the crowd; but when a team is struggling the energy from the other side can be detrimental. “It’s all based on momentum and who comes to play, and so, if you don’t come to play, you can get points put up on you, and you can get points put up on you real quick,” senior receiver John Harris said. With emotions running high between the two teams, whichever team sets the tone early and lands the irst punch can oten ride that momentum to victory. “his game is deinitely built up with a whole lot of emotion,” se- nior running back Malcolm Brown said. “A whole lot of ups and downs — momentum is deinitely big in this game. I feel like the past couple of years that’s what this game has been built of of — just emotion and who strikes irst.” Last season, the Longhorns took their irst lead in this series since their 16-13 victory in 2009. Texas struck irst and set the tone with 23 irst-half points, one more point than it had scored in the irst half of the four previous Red River Rivalry games combined. “We had a mindset that day, we weren’t going to come out there and get beat down like we had for the past two years,” Harris said. “And we were going to bring it to them before they brought it to us and we wanted to be the more physical team than we had been in the past two years.” hat physicality was evident, as the Longhorns pounded the Sooners in the trenches on both sides of the ball. No play was big- ger than the irst quarter pick-six by defensive tackle Chris Whaley. “It did something to the crowd and to us as well,” senior safety Mykkele hompson recalled of the play’s impact. “I really don’t how to explain that. But it was just I guess the aura — the whole at- mosphere of the Longhorn side. It just it changed us, and it gave us RIVALRY page 16 Freshman quarterback Jerrod Heard (13) came into Texas as a highly touted recruit, but as Tyrone Swoopes continues to struggle, the Longhorn coach- ing staff appears hesitant to give Heard a shot in his irst year on campus.

That will change this weekend, when Charlie Strong leads Texas into the Cotton Bowl. Stoops relishes Red River Rivalry Photo courtesy of Oklahoma University Athletics By Jori Epstein @JoriEpstein For Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops, the hype surrounding the Red River Rivalry is nothing new. He brought home nine wins in 15 matchups against former Texas head coach Mack Brown. But now, as Stoops prepares to take on the new head coach in Austin, Charlie Strong, for the first time, many fans and media alike see it as the start of a new era. Stoops, however, says he sees no change. “I don’t see [this year] being any diferent at all,” Stoops said. “It would be diferent if [Mack Brown] and I were out playing but that isn’t happening, and I’ve never looked at it across as an individual issue — it’s not for me.” Stoops told has various publications through the years that the historic matchup is about one great program against the other, not about any in- dividual rivalries. He told the San Antonio Express- News in April he’s “not be- tween the lines playing in the game;” and, even if he was, “football is the ultimate team sport.” A team sport indeed, but Stoops holds plenty of per- sonal accolades. he win- ningest coach in Oklahoma history, Stoops is the only college head coach with a national championship vic- tory and wins in every BCS bowl game. hrough 199 games at Oklahoma — 123 against Big 12 opponents — Stoops boasts a winning percentage above .800. he nature of the rivalry and Texas’ historical ad- Sooners vantage both add to the excitement of the annual trek to Dallas. Stoops says the remember last year’s 36-20 loss well. In the 16-point loss, four Longhorns recorded touch- downs, two running backs surpassed rushing 100 yards and quarterback Case McCoy, who played only because of an injury quar- terback David Ash, racked up 190 yards through the air, passing for two touch- downs. he memory of such an embarrassment for the Sooners doesn’t fade fast. “his week with Texas, we understand the rivalry and what a challenge it will be,” Stoops said. “We went down there a year ago and got beat by 16 points. We are still very aware of that.” this With awareness comes an adjusted game plan. Stoops must cater to rather schemes Strong’s than those of Brown, to whom he’s grown accus- tomed. Stoops and Strong have crossed paths over the years, and each expresses utmost toward respect the other. I and “[Stoops] are friends,” Strong said. “When I was at Florida, I was leav- ing, and he was coming in and even at Big 12 meetings, we sit together and joke around. I really respect the job he’s done at Oklahoma.” Stoops, too, said that the Sooner staf “think[s] a lot of Charlie Strong and the way he coaches,” and notes Strong’s progress early on. “I know he is going to continue to work that pro- gram and we will see a team that will be motivated and ready to play,” Stoops said. OU page 16 Friday, October 10, 2014 PLAYERS TO WATCH By Peter Sblendorio @petersblendorio Sophomore QB Trevor Knight Coming of an impressive performance against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl last season, Knight entered 2014 with enormous expectations. He’s mostly failed to live up to the hype so far, completing just 54.5 percent of his passes with ive touchdown passes and ive interceptions in his irst ive games. Still, he’s proven to be capable of making big plays with both his arm and legs. He’s passed for at least 200 yards in every game so far, and his 130 rushing yards rank fourth among Big 12 quarterbacks. He struggled greatly last week against TCU, though, and he could have some issues moving the ball against Texas’ impressive defense. Freshman RB Samaje Perine Of all the weapons on Oklahoma’s roster, Perine has made the biggest impact so far. he true freshman leads the Big 12 with 506 rushing yards, and his eight touchdowns on the ground are tied for the most in the conference. He’s been es- pecially impressive in his two games against conference op- ponents, in which he’s combined for 329 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. Perine, who started the season as the third string running back, has seen has role grow consider- ably since the start of the season. He’s recorded at least 25 carries each of the last two weeks, and he’s likely to receive a similar workload against the Longhorns this weekend. Junior WR Sterling Shepard In his irst ive games, Shepard has already set a career- high with 651 receiving yards, and he igures to be on his way to setting more personal-bests. Shepard continues to establish himself as one of the premier big-play threats in the Big 12, as his 21.7 yards per catch rank second in the conference. He is coming of of a career-high 215 receiving yards against TCU last week, and he’ll look to continue his red-hot play this week against a solid Longhorns secondary. Senior CB Julian Wilson Wilson has thrived since moving from nickelback to cornerback this season to replace two-time All Big 12 cor- nerback Aaron Colvin. he senior leads the Sooners with seven pass breakups and eight passes defended through ive games, while racking up 19 tackles in the secondary. In addition, Wilson showed his big-play ability when he returned an interception 100 yards for a touchdown last month against Tennessee. At 6-foot-2, 201 pounds, he’s likely the Sooner’s most versatile defensive back, as he’s shown an ability to line up at cornerback, nickelback and safety throughout his career.

Georgia RB Todd Gurley @SebasAHerrera Last week (W, 44-17, vs. Vanderbilt): 25 attempts, 163 yards, 2 TDs 2014: 773 rushing yards, 8 TDs Out of the top Heisman candidates, Gurley was one of the few to escape last week with a victory. he 6-foot-1, 226-pounder scorched yet an- other SEC defense on his way to his third 160-plus-yard game this season. he way the Heis- man race looks right now, this could be the year for a running back to inish at the top, with Gurley leading the way. As Or- egon’s ofense, which includes hopeful Marcus Heisman Mariota, struggles, the door for Gurley has swung wide open. Todd Gurley Running back He’s lived up to expectations thus far and can be counted on to produce each week. 2. Oregon QB Marcus Mariota Last week (L, 31-24, vs. Arizona) 20-for-32, 276 yards, 2 TDs 2014: 1,411 passing yards, 15 passing TDs, 3 rushing TDs In its upset victory over Oregon last week, Arizona exposed a vulnerability in the Ducks’ ofense that could potentially be trou- bling for Mariota’s Heisman hopes — a weak ofensive line. he Ducks allowed seven sacks of Mariota, enough to leave him, as his ofensive coordinator said ater the game, “not feeling 100 percent.” With tough Pac-12 defenses coming his way, Mariota’s protection in the pocket will be key to his health and success. But, if there’s one thing the best quarterback in college football has proven, it’s that, even in the face of distress, he’ll stay as calm and consistent as ever. 3. Notre Dame QB Everett Golson Last week (W, 17-14, vs. Stanford): 20-for-43, 241 yards, 2 TDs, 34 rushing yards 2014: 1383 passing yards, 13 passing TDs, 4 rushing TDs Golson didn’t put up any huge numbers in Notre Dame’s week six victory over Stanford, but he was at his best when it mattered most — throwing a fourth-down, game-winning pass with 1:01 let on the clock. Even with one intercep- tion in the game, that kind of win against a ranked oppo- nent is huge. he senior has kept Notre Dame undefeated, which some notable Heisman hopeful’s can’t say for their teams. As long as he keeps leading the Irish to victory, Everett Golson Quarterback Golson will ind himself near the top of this list when the season ends. Oregon and its quarterback, Marcus Mariota, lost their irst game of the season last week, as the Ducks were upset by Arizona. While the loss hurt Mariota’s Heisman stock, he is still playing at a high level with a chance to win the award. Charlie Pearce | Daily Texan ile photo 4. Mississippi St. QB Dak Prescott 5. Alabama WR Amari Cooper Last week (W, 48-31, vs. Texas A&M): 19-for-25, 259 yards, 2 TDs, 77 rushing yards, 3 rushing TDs 2014: 1,223 passing yards, 13 passing TDs, 455 rushing yards, 6 rushing TDs Last week (L, 23-17, vs. Ole Miss): 9 receptions, 91 yards 2014: 52 receptions, 746 yards, 5 TDs Alabama lost last week, but, given that Cooper is still the best wide receiver in the nation, he deserves to be kept on the list. Coo- per didn’t score against Ole Miss, but he wasn’t a non- factor either, as his 91 yards helped keep the Crimson Tide in the game. Out of all of the candidates struggling to stay relevant in the Heis- man conversation, Cooper is most likely to hang on in the coming weeks — giving Amari Cooper Wide receiver him the chance to rise again among Heisman contenders. There’s always a dark horse that rises among candidates, Heisman and, this season, Prescott is looking like the per- fect candidate. Prescott has now taken down two straight ranked SEC opponents in LSU and Texas A&M, scoring eight total touchdowns in the two games. And not only has he had good passing stats, his rush- ing numbers match that of a running back. The is junior quarterback the definition of a dual- Dak Prescott Quarterback threat. If he keeps this up against the rest of the SEC, he could thrust himself to the top of the Heisman race. Friday, October 10, 2014 GAMES TO WATCH By Jacob Martella @ViewFromTheBox 15 15 No. 2 Auburn at No. 3 Mississippi State No. 3 Ole Miss at No. 14 Texas A&M he big games just keep on coming in the SEC West. Auburn was the only one of the favorites in the conference to avoid an up- set last weekend and now sit atop the con- ference. Senior quarterback Nick Marshall has done just enough to keep the Tigers undefeated with a 57.9 percent comple- tion percentage and 8 passing touchdowns in addition to 392 rushing yards and four scores on the ground. But Mississippi State comes in riding the momentum of a big win over Texas A&M, thanks in large part to ju- nior quarterback Dak Prescott. his season, Prescott has thrown for 1,223 yards and 13 touchdowns and rushed for 455 rush- ing yards and six touchdowns. With both teams currently undefeated, this could be the game that decides who represents the division in the SEC Championship Game. Last week changed the perceptions of both teams and how people see them in- ishing in the SEC West. Ole Miss pulled of arguably the biggest victory in program history with a 23-17 win over Alabama at home Saturday. Senior quarterback Bo Wallace is having a strong year with 1,522 passing yards and 14 touchdowns, but the defense has been the biggest factor, holding opponents to only 10.2 points per game. Texas A&M, on the other hand, struggled on both sides of the ball in the loss to Mis- sissippi State. Sophomore quarterback Kenny Hill threw three interceptions and the Aggie defense allowed the Bulldogs to accumulate 559 total yards. With the SEC West still wide open, this will be a pivotal game for both teams. No. 13 Georgia at No. 23 Missouri For as good as the SEC West has been, the SEC East has been mediocre. Each team in the division has a loss, some of them pretty bad losses at that. But, while Georgia has a conference loss and Missouri is un- defeated in SEC play, this game will likely determine the division winner. Georgia, aside from the loss to South Carolina, has been led by junior running back Todd Gurley. Gurley has put together a strong Heisman campaign so far, with 773 rush- ing yards and eight touchdowns. But Mis- souri’s sophomore quarterback Maty Mauk has proven that last year was no luke with 1,110 passing yards and 14 touchdowns already this season. With the SEC East on the line, this will be the game to watch Saturday morning. No. 9 TCU at No. 5 Baylor Given how their irst two seasons in the Big 12 went, it’s quite a surprise to see the Horned Frogs inally inding their sea legs. TCU put the conference on notice Saturday with a big home upset of Oklahoma, putting its name in the hat as a contender for the Big 12 title. he Horned Frogs have beneitted from a strong year so far from junior quarterback Trevone Boykin, who has thrown for 1,176 yards and 10 touchdowns and rushed for three more scores. But TCU is going into McLane Sta- dium and facing a Baylor team that’s looking to win back-to-back conference titles for the irst time since 1915-16 — when it was in the Southwest Conference. While senior quarter- back Bryce Petty isn’t on the same pace he was a year ago, the Bears have gotten a big help from their rushing attack — with 247.4 rush- ing yards per game — and their defense — al- lowing just 12.4 points per game. As we saw last week, no one in college football is safe and this game could go a long way in determining who wins the Big 12 this year. Oregon and its quarterback, Marcus Mariota, lost their irst game of the season last week, as the Ducks were upset by Arizona. While the loss hurt Mariota’s Heisman stock, he is still playing at a high level with a chance to win the award. | Daily Texan ile photo Name: 3009/Fiesta Mart; Width: 60p0; Depth: 5 in; Color: Process color, 3009/Fiesta Mart; Ad Number: 3009 Name: 3246/World Net Brokerage; Width: 19p4; Depth: 4 in; Color: Black, 3246/ World Net Brokerage; Ad Number: 3246 16 16 Friday, October 10, 2014 ♲ R E C Y C L E AFTER READING YOUR COPY Name: 2809/Randolph Brooks Federal Cr; Width: 29p6; Depth: 6 in; Color: Black, 2809/Randolph Brooks Federal Cr; Ad Number: 2809 Jonathan Garza | Daily Texan Staff Walk-on safety Dylan Haines runs back an interception against North Texas. The Longhorn de- fense has forced key turnovers all season; they’ll need more of the same against Oklahoma. RIVALRY continues from page 11 all the motivation to go out there and execute and do ev- erything better.” Ater being outscored in the irst half 70-12 during the 2011 and 2012 games, the defensive touchdown sent a message that the 2013 Longhorns weren’t going to lie down, despite the Sooners being heavily favored. he Longhorns will likely enter this year’s matchup as even bigger underdogs, with the line likely to fall around 14.5 points in favor of Okla- homa. Given its extreme of- fensive woes, Texas will likely need some points from its de- fense or special teams to pull of another upset in Dallas. “Our job is to help the of- fense [in] anyway possible,” hompson said. “[he] ma- jority of us defensive players are on special teams, so we have two phases that we need to take care of. So, if we dom- inate those two phases, [the] ofense can do the bare mini- mum if anything, and we’ll still come out with the win.” Even if Texas’ defense can’t score, if the unit forces turn- overs, the Longhorns should be in good shape. Eight of Texas’ nine interceptions this season have come en route to Longhorn victories. HEARD continues from page 10 in 2012 Championships and 2013. hose numbers and Heard’s winning pedigree are what have so many confused by the coaches’ comments about his progress. It is well known that the move from the comforts of high school to the bright lights of college, especially at a pressure cooker like Tex- as, can be a diicult — see Garrett Gilbert. Perhaps Heard is strug- gling with that transition, or maybe he just hasn’t been able to learn the new play- book. No matter the reason, it appears Tyrone Swoopes isn’t the only thing keeping Heard from trading in his headset for a helmet on Sat- urdays. As a result, anxious fans are forced to play the waiting game; a game they’d better get used to. OU continues from page 12 “hey are a team that is ca- pable, and, again, they beat us just a year ago.” As the No. 11 team in the country there’s little doubt that the Sooners ield a bet- ter team than the Longhorns do each week. But Stoops and his players know that in rivalry games like this one, anything can happen. It’s anyone’s game this weekend at the Cotton Bowl. And, despite Stoops’ insistence that the rivalry is restricted to men in shoul- der pads, the veteran boss has been heavily invested in the competition for 16 years now. he hype is nothing new. But it will never get old. Friday, October 10, 2014 17 BIG 12 POWER RANKINGS 17 By Evan Berkowitz @Evan_Berkowitz 1 No. 5 Baylor The Bears offense looked stoppable against Texas, but, after Oklahoma’s loss to TCU, they regain the top spot. Unlike in past years, they are a complete team. While their offense is still No. 1 in the nation after a shaky week, their defense is something to fear. Baylor has allowed only 12.4 points per game, ifth best in the country. 2 No. 11 Oklahoma This Sooner defense isn’t as good as it has been in years past, allowing 35 points per game in their two Big 12 matchups against TCU and West Virginia. After holding on to the top spot on this list and a No. 4 ranking in the nation, Oklahoma fell to an upstart TCU squad. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Trevor Knight isn’t having the big year many were hoping for. His fourth quarter pick-six was the difference. The Sooners should be able to turn it around, but they will need better play from Knight. 3 No. 17 Kansas State The Wildcats demolished Texas Tech, shutting down its of- fense. They forced sophomore quarterback Davis Webb into four interceptions, holding the offensive juggernaut to just 347 total yards. Kansas senior quarterback Jake Waters, who seems to be getting better each week, was incredibly eficient again, tossing four touchdowns while completing 77 percent of his passes. Their only loss was a tight one to Auburn, and that’s not too shabby. 4 No. 9 TCU With a shocker against Oklahoma, the Horned Frogs have turned themselves into a contender. Their offense behind junior quarterback Trevone Boykin and junior running back B.J. Catalon is balanced. They are averaging 42.8 points per game, good for No. 12 in the nation. But more impressive — and less surprising — is their defense. Even without the preseason Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, Devonte Fields, the Horned Frogs defense is allowing less than 14 points per game. 5 No. 16 Oklahoma State The Cowboys were sloppy in the irst half and let a bad Iowa State team hang around. But, nevertheless, they have won four in a row behind an upstart offense. Dax Garman, since taking over in week two, is leading the eficient offense. They will be in the Big 12 race all season, as they don’t face Baylor and Oklahoma until the inal two weeks. 6 West Virginia For the ifth straight game, senior quarterback Clint Trickett threw for over 300 yards. With him at the helm, the Mountaineers won’t be a push- over. But, with a struggling defense on the other side of the ball, not much can be expected from them against tougher competition. 7 Texas The defense looks great, but the offense does not. Swoopes’ performance against Baylor was abys- mal, and the offense failed to get anything going at home. The good news, though, is that head coach Charlie Strong has the defense playing at a high level. They held Baylor senior quarterback Bryce Petty to 111 yards, which is no small feat. 8 Iowa State They have found themselves hanging around better teams before ultimately falling short. But their ability to hang around is certainly a posi- tive. Sooner, rather than later, they will be able to hang around just long enough to upset one of the teams ranked higher than them. 9 Texas Tech Sophomore quarterback Davis Webb has thrown six interceptions in his last two games, as teams begin to make life dificult for him. As the only bright spot early on for Texas Tech, Webb’s star is getting dimmer and dimmer. That’s bad news for the conference’s worst defense. 10 Kansas Their offense is really bad. Their defense is pretty bad. Not much is going right for the Jayhawks off the ield, either. With two wins already on the season, at least they had something to cheer for — because they may not get another one this year. The good news: just a little over a month until basketball season starts.

If there’s a silver lining in the loss, it’s that quarterbacks Michael Cummings and Montell Co- zart both kept from throwing an interception. hings won’t get easier for Kansas as the Jayhawks welcome Oklahoma State this weekend. Horned Frogs headline Big 12 honors Ater helping No. 9 TCU pull of the school’s biggest upset since joining the Big 12 two years ago, two Horned Frogs headlined the Big 12’s weekly awards. Junior quarterback Trevone Boykin was named the Ofensive Player of the Week ater throwing for 318 yards and two touchdowns in the 37-33 win over the Sooners. TCU senior linebacker Paul Dawson was named the Defensive Player of the Week for his 41-yard interception return for a touchdown to win the game for TCU. Baylor junior safety Terrell Burt rounded out the awards with the Special Teams Player of the Week ater returning a block ield goal for a touchdown against Texas. The Baylor Bears were one of only a few top ranked teams to avoid upsets, with a 28-7 win over Texas on Sat- urday afternoon. Sunday, the Bears were rewarded with their highest-ever ranking in the USA Today Coaches Poll. With five of the top-10 teams having been upset, Baylor was able to move up to third in the poll. Florida State holds the top spot while Auburn jumped to num- ber two. Ole Miss and Notre Dame rounded out the top five. In the Associated Press poll, Baylor only moved up to fifth after being jumped by Mississippi State and Ole Miss, who tied for third place. Iowa State AD upset with oficials Bad calls are an unfortunate reality in sports, but Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard apparently has had enough of the Cyclones being on the wrong end of those calls. Following Iowa State’s 37-20 loss to Oklahoma State, Pollard ripped the oicials, particularly for a call late in the irst half. With the game tied at six, Cowboys senior running back Desmond Roland was ruled short of the goal line on the ield, but a replay review reversed the call, giving Okla- homa State a 13-6 lead. “It’s hard to sit idle and watch ESPN, FOX and other an- nouncers not debate — but to feel sorry for Iowa State because maybe there will be another apology for a call,” Pollard said ater the game. Iowa State was also on the short end of the stick earlier this season when the replay oicial failed to stop the game to re- view a crucial play against Kansas State. he Big 12 suspended the oicial and apologized to the Cyclones. “It’s not fair to our players,” Pollard said. “hey’re frustrat- ed. And they’re frustrated with the lack of action.” Friday, October 10, 2014 19 19 STAFF PICKS EVAN BERKOWITZ GARRETT CALLAHAN NICK CASTILLO DANIEL CLAY JORI EPSTEIN SEBASTIAN HERRERA DREW LIEBERMAN JACOB MARTELLA PETER SBLENDORIO STEFAN SCRAFIELD Last Week’s Record 4-6 5-5 4-6 5-5 3-7 4-6 3-7 4-6 4-6 5-5 Overall Record 27-23 32-18 33-17 32-18 31-19 34-16 33-17 34-16 33-17 29-21 Oklahoma 21-10 Texas 24-17 Oklahoma 21-10 Oklahoma 24-7 Texas 17-14 Oklahoma 24-14 Oklahoma 13-7 Oklahoma 28-14 Oklahoma 35-17 Oklahoma 20-17 Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Oregon Auburn vs. Mississippi State Auburn Auburn Mississippi State Auburn Mississippi State Mississippi State Auburn Auburn Auburn Mississippi State Texas A&M Ole Miss Ole Miss Ole Miss Ole Miss Ole Miss Texas A&M Ole Miss Ole Miss Texas A&M Baylor Baylor TCU TCU Baylor Baylor Baylor Baylor Baylor Baylor Georgia Georgia Georgia Georgia Georgia Georgia Georgia Georgia Georgia Missouri Florida LSU Florida LSU LSU Florida LSU LSU LSU LSU Arizona USC Arizona USC USC Arizona Arizona USC USC USC Duke Duke Georgia Tech Georgia Tech Georgia Tech Georgia Tech Georgia Tech Duke Duke Georgia Tech Alabama Alabama Alabama Alabama Alabama Alabama Alabama Alabama Alabama Alabama Texas vs. Oklahoma Oregon vs. UCLA Ole Miss vs. Texas A&M TCU vs. Baylor Georgia vs. Missouri LSU vs. Florida USC vs. Arizona Duke vs. Georgia Tech Alabama vs. Arkansas Name: 2983/Verizon Wireless c/o Zenit; Width: 60p0; Depth: 10 in; Color: Process color, 2983/Verizon Wireless c/o Zenit; Ad Number: 2983 20 MORE ORANGE.
