UTPD irst reported the attack on Aug. 13 ater sev- eral students received sus- picious emails with the title “*Subject: **UTexas Library System Problem*.” According to UTPD spokeswoman Cindy Posey, the attack sends users an email that looks like it comes the UT Libraries from database. UTPD is unsure how many students have re- ceived the email, but reports have become less frequent. “When it irst arrives, it looks very legit and in- forms the user that their of-campus access to the UT Libraries has been compro- mised,” Posey said. “he link forwards to a website that ofers a UT EID login.” UTPD students said should not open or click on any links in the email and delete it instead. James Liao, network se- curity analyst at the Infor- mation Security Oice, said students receive phishing emails frequently, although this was the irst time he had heard of one using “UT Li- braries” as a subject. “People phishing get emails all the time,” Liao said. “hey’re typically disguised as legitimate emails, and they’ll PHISH page 3 Bill Little set to retire from Texas sports UNIVERSITY By Garrett Callahan @CallahanGarrett Seven years ago, Bill Little, special assistant to the head football coach for commu- nication, made a promise to then-athletic director De- Loss Dodds and head foot- ball coach Mack Brown. he longtime sports infor- mation director committed to stay at Texas for as long as Dodds and Brown did.

So [Kim and I] said, in the words of Coach Royal, ‘Let’s just set our buck- et down.’ And that’s what we CAMPUS UT alumni donate 120 artworks to the Blanton By Kylie Fitzpatrick @thedailytexan he Blanton Museum of Art received a git of 120 modern and contemporary Latin American artworks and an endowment contri- bution valued at a total of $10 million from UT alumni Judy and Charles Tate of Houston, museum oicials announced hursday. “With this git, Charles and Judy have once again made a hugely valuable contribu- tion to the life of UT-Austin,” President William Powers Jr. said in a statement hursday. “his git will continue to put us at the forefront as one of the country’s best museums for Latin American art and will provide many new op- portunities for students, fac- ulty and art historians.” he git enabled the mu- seum to exceed its fundrais- ing goal in “Campaign for Texas,” an eight-year, $3-bil- lion University-wide fund- raising efort ending Aug. 31. he Tates’ donation of $1 million will create an endow- ment for a curator of Latin American art.

Lauren Ussery | Daily Texan Staff CITY SPORTS New ticketing system faces sales decline By Eleanor Dearman @ellydearman With one day let before the start of UT’s 2014 foot- ball season, sales of “he Big Ticket,” the University’s new, higher-priced ticketing plan, are down in compari- son to the previous plan’s sales last year. he Big Ticket gives stu- dents tickets to all sporting events available to Univer- ticket sity students. he replaced the Longhorn All- Sports Package this fall and costs $175, compared to the $80 LASP. Steve Hank, senior as- sociate athletic director and chief revenue officer, said the ticket guarantees students an assigned seat at UT football games and general admission seat- ing to all other sporting events. Hank said Big Ticket sales are currently approaching 17,000 tick- ets. According to an open records request, 21,057 LASPs were sold in the 2013 school year. In past years, UT ath- letics has sold tickets as the LASP, which students City representative Chris Riley takes part in an Austin City Council meeting Thursday afternoon. Jonathan Garza | Daily Texan Staff Council votes to deliberate gender-neutral bathrooms By Jackie Wang @thedailytexan he Austin City Council voted unanimously hurs- day to pass a resolution to further explore the idea of bathrooms gender-neutral and another to ban driv- ing or biking while using a cellphone. Sponsored by councilman Chris Riley and co-spon- sored by councilman Bill Spelman and Mayor Pro Tem Sheryl Cole, the resolution aims to keep Austin’s spot as one of the nation’s leading cities in LGBTQ issues by changing all single-occupan- cy bathrooms to be labeled as “gender-neutral,” according to the council. he resolution would re- quire city manager Marc Ott to make the code amend- ments require that will single-stall restrooms to be labeled “gender-neutral.” He also must come up with COUNCIL page 2 Sarah Montomery | Daily Texan ile photo Senior Gamaliel Mosqueda and sophomore Raul Rodriguez, members of the UT Hellraisers yell at the Horns Up event Wednesday. could purchase during class registration. Hank said the switch to The Big Ticket is a response to a new federal law by the U.S. Department of Education that prohibits tying sales to registration. According to UT spokes- man Kevin Almasy, optional fees, such as the LASP, risk in violation with being guidelines set by the Fed- eral Student Aid and Parent PLUS loan. “We couldn’t, by federal law, administer or tie the tickets to the registration process anymore,” Hank said. “Once that happened, we had to develop a new product and sell it in a new way. It was entirely due to federal regulation changes.” he $80 LASP gave stu- dents football tickets based on availability and a season pass to all other sporting events. he LASP could be paired with a $70 football season ticket for a guaran- teed seat at home games.

Sarah Montgomery | Daily Texan Staff BLANTON continues from page 1 of the South that brought geometric abstraction to art- ists in South America, are among the works donated to the Blanton. Blanton spokeswoman Kathleen Stimpert said the museum is already a major institution in the ield of Lat- in American art whose lega- cy of exhibitions and schol- arship in the ield goes back to 1988, when it became the irst museum in the U.S. to establish a Latin American art curator position. “We were one of the irst institutions in the United States to begin collecting in any serious way Latin American art and present- ing it as an important part of our historical canon,” St- impert said. he museum’s holdings in the ield of Latin Ameri- can art have grown to 2,200 pieces, ater starting with a donation of 54 paintings by Texas collectors John and Barbara Duncan in 1971. Beverly Adams, the in- augural Charles and Judy Tate curator of Latin Ameri- can art, started working at the museum in January. Among her irst endeav- ors has been the planning of “La Línea Continua,” an COUNCIL continues from page 1 an implementation plan to present to the council by Sept. 25. Ott would irst present the code amend- ments and implementation plan to stakeholders before taking the plan to the City Council. If the legislation passes, Austin will be the irst city in Texas to require gender-neutral bathrooms. Jennifer McPhail, an ADAPT of Texas mem- ber, said she supported the resolution because it also Amy Zhang | Daily Texan Staff With a gift from UT alumni Judy and Charles Tate of Houston, The Blanton Museum of Art exceeded its “Campaign for Texas” fundraising goal, an eight-year, $3-billion fundraising effort. exhibition starting Sept. 20 that will include a selection of approximately 70 works from the Tates’ collection. increased access to bath- rooms for people with dis- abilities. According to the website, ADAPT is dedicated to improving the quality of life for disabled citizens. “We just want to do our business in peace,” McPhail said. “If you don’t have ac- cess to the bathroom, then you don’t have very much in the community.” According to McPhail, people with disabilities are not always the same gender as their attendants and going to the bathroom has caused issues in the past. Tyler Brown, a Plan II ju- nior and the co-director of Queer Students Alliance at UT, said he thought the reso- lution should have happened already. Brown, a resident of Carothers Hall, said making single-stall bathrooms gen- der-neutral only makes sense because unisex bathrooms already exist. “Each loor [of Carothers] has a gender-inclusive bath- room,” Brown said. “It’s more for guests or parents who come to visit, but, if anyone did feel uncomfortable using other bathrooms, that’s open to them.” QSA has plans to come up with their own legislation, according to Brown. Roger Meza, a microbiolo- gy junior and QSA member, said, while he appreciated the council’s approach of label- ing single-stall bathrooms as gender-neutral, he felt that it was not enough. “Ideally, we would like for new restrooms to be created that have stalls that are not just for single use,” Meza said. “his is not going to feel like a gender-neutral bathroom. hey will not be exposed to the opposite sex while going to the bathroom.” Meza said the purpose of a gender-neutral bathroom was to have a space where anyone could go and feel more comfortable. “It’s not just a transgender issue,” Meza said. “A woman walks into a restroom and is told, ‘his is a women’s re- stroom,’ because she looks like a man. She identiies as a woman — is biologically a woman. If you don’t look like a man or a woman, you’re go- ing to be told, ‘You don’t be- long here.’” While there are some uni- sex bathrooms on campus al- ready, Meza said, with future legislation QSA writes, they will push for more. “We want to have all of UT to have gender-neutral bath- rooms, and the only problem is money,” Meza said. “Hope- fully we can pass some legis- lation about that.” City Council also decided LITTLE continues from page 1 decided to do.” Sunday, Little will re- tire, and, for the irst time since 1968, he will no lon- ger be an employee of Texas athletics. he legendary wordsmith, who worked as a commen- tary writer and special as- sistant to Brown for the past seven years, saw the reigns of ive football coaches, ive basketball coaches and four athletic directors during his time in Austin. He attend- ed 36 bowl games with the Longhorns and broadcasted more than 1,700 baseball games. Even Little’s honey- moon consisted of accompa- nying the Longhorns’ basket- ball team to New York during their NIT trip in 1978. But, ater six decades come and go at Texas, Little thought it was the perfect time to leave. seeing “It’s always hard to step away,” Little said. “But the timing was just perfect. I al- ways said I never wanted to leave anywhere bitter, and that has always been impor- tant to me. he opportunity seemed right for the new administration — for Coach Strong and for everyone. It was a hard decision, but it was also an easy decision.” grew Little up in Winters, a small town south of Abilene that encompasses under three square miles and has a population of just more than 2,500. Ater growing up a Longhorn fan, he followed in the footsteps of both his parents and began his college career at Texas in 1960. As a student, he majored in journalism and worked in the sports information director’s oice, creating a close friendship with football coach Darrell K Royal that would span until his death in 2012. In addition, he served as the sports editor of he Daily Texan for two years, witnessing Royal’s irst na- tional championship in 1963. In 1968, at 26, Little start- ed his full-time career at Texas as an assistant sports information director ater a job interview that lasted just two sentences. “I saw there was this really good job in public relations at the University of Texas,” Little said. “I called Coach Royal, and I said, ‘Coach, I want to come back.’ And he said, ‘I’d like to have you back.’ And that was the extent of it. I started that spring.” involved Unknowingly, Little would spend the next 46 in Texas years sports. Ironically, though, sports weren’t Little’s pas- sion. His passion stretched through sports to the stories that could be told and the people who were discovered through the game. “I knew I loved journal- ism, and I knew I loved to tell the story,” Little said. “What I found in sports was the human element. It’s the conquest of the human spirit. It makes you love the game — whatever it is — and you cry with it, whether you win or lose.” Little wanted to make a diference through his work and through his words. “I always found that, if you can write something that can make a diference to some- body, it can change a life,” Little said. “I was a bad golfer and a worse tennis player. And I wasn’t big enough to play football, and I was too short to play basketball, so my only gits were to write and talk. And, if I was go- ing to do what God put me on this planet to do, then I needed to do those things.” Little made that diference he was seeking and inlu- enced so many around him that the football and base- ball press boxes will now be named the Bill Little Media Center. A signiicant git from longtime athletics sup- porter Marian Dozier creat- ed the funds to honor Little. “It means so much to be able to honor my great friend Bill in this way,” Dozier said.

Economics junior Giovan- ni Nunez said he considered buying the Big Ticket, but the $175 ticket, plus the $20 transaction fee, was too high of a price. “I’m a big sports fan, and UT-Austin is really big on sports,” Nunez said. “But, to be honest, the main reason is because I didn’t have enough money. I al- ready owe a lot of money to the University.” Marketing junior Jenny Zheng said she prefers the cheaper price, but the Big Ticket price is comparable to the prices of other uni- versities. According to their ticket sales websites, Texas A&M University’s student package ticket costs $290, and the Uni- versity of Oklahoma’s costs $215 for just football and basketball tickets. “So, from that kind of per- spective, I guess it’s pretty fair since other schools also do this,” Zheng said. According to Hank, the purchasing methods were combined to make the pro- cess more streamlined and eicient. Zheng said she decided to buy the Big Ticket be- cause she loves UT sport- ing events, but she wishes there was an option to buy only football tickets. She said she found the purchas- ing process more straight- forward this year. he Big Ticket could be purchased directly ticket sales website and she said it made buying with groups less complicated. from the “I’m kind of mixed,” Zheng said. “It costs so much more than last year, but I felt it was easier to igure out.” to prohibit the use of mobile electronic devices while driv- ing, but drivers would still be able to listen to audiobooks and music using their cars’ stereo systems and use their devices hands-free. he ban on driving while using a cell- phone strengthens current law, which only prohibits texting. he ban also applies to cyclists as well as drivers. “We’ve been hearing for a long time now as we continue to improve our bicycle infra- structure that cyclists want to be considered as vehicles in traic, just like any other vehicle,” Mayor Lee Lein- gwell said. “I don’t think it’s good policy to have a set of traic laws for motorized ve- hicles, or cars, or trucks and another set of laws for non- motorized vehicles.” he new cellphone use policy will go into efect on Jan. 1, 2015. “his naming will help honor his immense life work, the legacy he has let nationally on sports media and hope- fully motivate young people to follow their passions in work and life.” With his retirement ap- proaching, Little — who has three children and ten grandchildren, all of whom are Texas fans — is ready to step away.

Albert Lee / Daily Texan Staff Editor’s Note: On Aug. 15, a Travis County grand jury indicted Gov. Rick Perry for abuse of oicial capacity and coercion of a public servant. Perry, the state’s longest-serv- ing governor, entered into political isticufs with Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg last summer when she refused to step down ater her much-publicized arrest for drunk driving. Perry had made it clear that he would not allow state inancial support to continue lowing to the Public Integrity Unit — which prosecutes political misconduct across the state and is overseen by Lehmberg — if she did not heed his calls for her resignation. In the face of her disobedience, Perry made good on his threat and vetoed $7.5 million of state funding for the PIU. At the time, the unit was investigating misconduct at the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, but not by Perry himself, according to a Travis County prosecutor. Perry entered a plea of “not guilty” to both charges on Aug. 22. On Aug. 24, Democrat Mindy Montford, an Austin defense attorney, conirmed that Perry had ofered her the job. Below, we have sought the opinions of key leaders of University Democrats and College Republicans on the matter. In wake of indictment, Gov. Perry ought to resign Political disputes should not be resolved in court By Katherine Adams Guest Columnist Texas hasn’t indicted a sitting governor in 97 years. On Aug. 15, Gov. Rick Per- ry broke that streak with his two-count felony indictment for abuse of power and coercion. hough the indictment does not paint a pretty picture of Texas politics, it would be far worse to sweep corruption under the rug in the interest of saving face. As em- barrassing as this process is, the indictment proceedings demonstrate a judicial process devoted to uncovering truths Perry’s oice would rather keep hidden. Fundamentally, this case illuminates the investigation the Public Integrity Unit (PIU) was conducting into a scandal in- volving the Cancer Prevention and Re- search Institute of Texas (CPRIT). Accu- sations that CPRIT was funneling funds intended for life-saving cancer research toward Republican donors prompted an investigation. In December, a former CPRIT oicial was indicted for improperly handing grants to a company backed by a wealthy Perry donor. Naturally, this must have made Perry ex- tremely nervous. It has been said that God helps three kinds of people: fools, children and drunkards. It was certainly a stroke of luck for Perry that the elected oicial responsible for the PIU, Rosemary Lehm- berg, picked this time to drive drunk. Prov- idence helped her from hurting anyone other than herself. With this providential windfall, Perry immediately began calling for her resignation — a win-win situation. Either she resigned or he would veto PIU’s funding, and either way the CPRIT investi- gation would halt. Yet an odor of mendacity permeated the good governor’s self-righteous demand. Two other district attorneys — curiously, both Republicans — have been convicted of DWIs during his administration. he governor made no demands that they step down. Of course, neither DA was investigating the shady inancial deal- ings of organizations closely tied to the governor’s oice. Governor Perry ofered a quid pro quo — DA Lehmberg’s resignation in exchange for continued funding of the PIU. Without question, Perry has the constitutional pow- er to veto legislation. What the constitution does not grant him is the power to coerce the resignation of a public oicial. he in- dictment was never about the veto. It was about Perry threatening to defund the PIU unless DA Lehmberg resigned and ofering to restore funding only if she resigned. Texans deserve a high standard of be- havior from their publicly-elected oicials. Expecting the executive branch not to stoop to coercion and abuse of power isn’t a terribly stringent standard; it is the bare minimum we should demand from our public servants. Ultimately, we have rules in our democracy and instead of respecting those rules, Perry, (apparently too long in oice)decided they didn’t apply to him. hough right-wing pundits would have people believe otherwise, this felony in- dictment showcases the impartiality of our judicial system. he initial complaint was the result of an independent investigation by a nonpartisan group of citizens. he pre- siding judge, Republican Bert Richardson, is a George W. Bush appointee. Judge Rich- ardson appointed Michael McCrum as the special prosecutor to oversee the investiga- tion. Every Travis County Democratic of- icial has recused themselves from the case. And it would be a trile ridiculous to claim that the randomly selected grand jury is a group with a partisan agenda. It is diicult to discern the pattern of partisan abuse in this case. his is how our judicial system is sup- posed to work. A grand jury reviewed wit- ness testimony and evidence for months before they decided that there was enough to issue a two-count felony indictment. Perry will now avail himself of our judicial system, though at least he has been pub- licly shamed into paying his lawyers out of pocket, rather than with the tax dollars he had been using. CPRIT oicials engaged in question- able inancial dealings. When the govern- ment oice responsible for investigating became involved, Rick Perry panicked and responded with threats and intimidation. Now his only recourse is to shit blame from his own questionable actions onto a DA who has already paid her debt to soci- ety. Texans are smart enough to see this for what it is — the last resort of a man backed into a corner. Regrettably, the entire situation is em- barrassing for Texans. Our state’s highest oice is held by a man who has clearly dem- onstrated lagrant disregard for the rule of law. he felony indictments are just the lat- est example of corruption from Texas’ lon- gest-serving governor. Perhaps it is time for Texans to show our governor that we will not stand by while he reduces our oice of the governor to the level of a playground bully hopelessly mired in partisan squab- bles. Let us take a page from his playbook and call for his resignation and cross our ingers that he doesn’t further embarrass us with yet another run for president. Adams is the communications direc- tor for the University Democrats. She is a mechanical engineering senior from Dripping Springs. By Amy Nabozny & Alexander Parker Guest Columnists We have to admit, we are not law stu- dents. However, it doesn’t take much legal know-how to understand that the recent charges against Gov. Rick Perry are noth- ing more than political theatrics caused by a scorned district attorney’s oice. But as a history major, Amy recognizes that this DA’s oice is notorious for unsuccessfully attacking major Republican politicians, from former Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison to former Congressman Tom DeLay. his is another desperate attempt for Democrats to maintain power in Travis County while taxpayers foot the bill. When Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg — who’s ironically the head of the state’s Public Integrity Unit — was arrested for drunk driving, she com- pletely tarnished her oice. Not only was Lehmberg driving with a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit, she berated police oicers, had to be restrained and was forced to wear a “spit shield” to stop her from spitting on the jail staf. Soon ater this occurred, footage of Lehmberg’s erratic be- havior during her booking was made public on YouTube. Anyone with an ounce of integrity would have apologetically stepped down from the oice ater an incident like this. Lehmberg selishly continued to run the Public Integ- rity Unit even though she had previously endangered the lives of Texas residents and verbally abused policemen. Naturally, Perry asked Lehmberg to resign from her oice. When she remained deiant, Perry said he’d defund her unit, which would result in the loss of her position. Again, Lehmberg de- ied Perry’s request and, unsurprisingly, he vetoed the spending bill to the Public In- tegrity Unit. he exchange between Perry and Lehm- berg is a classic example of shrewd political bargaining. It is seen in all levels of gov- ernment. If this qualiies as coercion, then it could be applied to almost any political power struggle. here is no need to create a legal precedent that allows common politi- cal squabbles to be criminally prosecuted. However, given the history of the Travis County DA’s oice, we all know this is a purely political prosecution, most likely ini- tiated out of a fear that Perry would appoint a Republican DA. Even liberals outside of Texas agree this is a shoddy indictment. From he New York Times to David Axel- rod, there is national public criticism from the let. Texas Democrats can claim Perry used bad judgment or that he should have sought another route to remove Lehmberg, but to pin him as a felon is childish. hey don’t care if this lengthy case will be paid by tax- payers, or that our governor could spend the rest of his life in prison, as long as they control their blue dot in a deeply red state. Pursuing this case against Perry is more than just reckless with taxpayer money. It sets a terrible precedent of interfering with how officeholders carry out their duties. Perry fully explains the reasoning for his veto of the Public Integrity Unit’s funding, which has become the focus of the indictment. The governor states that “despite the otherwise good work [of] the Public Integrity Unit’s employees, I can- not in good conscience support continued State funding for an office with statewide jurisdiction at a time when the person charged with ultimate responsibility of that unit has lost the public’s confidence. This unit is in no other way held account- able to state taxpayers, except through the State budgetary process. I therefore object to and disapprove of this appropriation.” Perry has simply used his constitutionally- mandated power of a veto to shape policy. He even replaced the old district attorney with another Democrat, demonstrating this wasn’t even about politics for Perry. If the governor can be charged for ensuring through legal means that the Public Integ- rity Unit has a leader with integrity, what is an appropriate use of constitutionally- mandated powers? No politician — Re- publican or Democrat — benefits from an environment where a use of legal power becomes illegal simply because it makes the other side unhappy. Laws concerning coercion and abuse of power by public officials were never meant to stop actions sanctioned by one’s office. They were meant to combat outright viola- tions of an officeholder’s duties like brib- ery and embezzlement. These laws should never be weaponized to fight in political disputes. Let debates and elections decide the merits of legal acts by our public ser- vants. A fear of indictment and even pun- ishment for performing legal actions only hinders officeholders from carrying out the duties of their office. The indictment of Perry is reckless for many reasons. The governor never should have been prosecuted for using powers sanctioned by his office to remove an of- ficial who had so obviously failed in her duties. The case against Perry is largely frivolous and sets a dangerous precedent of using courts as a battleground for political disputes. Nabozny is the president of College Re- publicans.

Now, It may have been over- Jeffcoat’s by shadowed incredible campaign last year, but Reed’s 2013 sea- son was impressive in its own right, and the num- bers back it up. Reed, a native of Cleveland, Texas, finished the season with 79 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, five forced fum- bles and two fumble recov- eries. If he weren’t playing alongside a consensus All- American, he might as well have been the best defen- sive player on the team. Since then, Reed has been working with the new Texas coaching staf to improve his game, as he looks to replicate Jefcoat’s accomplishments from last year. “Just being with [strength] coach [Pat] Moorer in one ofseason, it is amazing to see what happened,” Reed said. “I put on about 10-15 pounds, and I can deinitely feel it out on the ield. It hasn’t slowed me down a bit.” he physical ments may improve- be more VOLLEYBALL Senior defensive end Cedric Reed had an impressive 2013 campaign but was overshadowed by All-American Jackson Jef- fcoat. This year, Reed looks to take advantage of his situation and turn into “the guy” for the Texas defense. Elisabeth Dillon | Daily Texan Staff obvious to the average eye, but it is Reed’s improvements on the mental side of the game that have impressed his coaches most. “I can see plays more now,” Reed said. “With [defensive line] coach [Chris] Rumph I see a lot more things. My awareness is high. I think I am a better player than I was last year.” It is to nobody’s amaze- ment that the 6-foot-5-inch senior’s game has improved drastically to where he was last summer. But even Reed, who has al- ways been quiet, has been compared surprised by how much he’s developed as a leader in his inal season. “When we were at work- outs, I said something, and I turned around and these little freshmen had these little puppy faces, and they were just looking at me like, ‘What do we do next?’” Reed said. “It just surprises you how much your leader- ship grows when you be- come a senior. Rumph got after me a little bit when he first got here because I was all quiet, and it just wasn’t me. But I think I really sur- prised myself with some of Just being with [strength] coach [Pat] Moorer in one offseason, it is amazing to see what happened.

Season to kickof in New Mexico By Jacob Martella @ViewFromTheBox As a middle blocker and center in high school, junior middle blocker Sara Hat- tis made quite the name for herself in New Mexico. In her time at Cleveland High School, just outside of Al- buquerque, Hattis garnered All-State honors in both vol- leyball and basketball, was an Under Armour All-Amer- ican honorable mention in volleyball and led her volley- ball team to the state inals. Now in her junior year at Texas, Hattis is returning home when the Longhorns compete in the Lobo Classic this weekend and can’t wait to show of her home state to her teammates. “It’s an exciting experi- ence to bring your team back to where you’re from and show them what you did and grew up with your whole life,” Hattis said. Raised in Rio Rancho, about 20 minutes outside of Albuquerque, Hattis was a multi-sport star in high school. In addition to her honors in basketball and volleyball, she also succeed- ed in track and ield, placing second at state in the high jump her senior year. Returning to her home state, Hattis is a key part on a Longhorn team look- ing to contend again for the national title ater missing out on a chance to repeat as champs a year ago. he tournament is Texas’ irst competitive match since sufering a heart-wrenching defeat to Wisconsin in the Final Four last December. As tough as the loss was, Hattis said it was a good learn- ing moment for the team. “We have to be able to take every game seriously and not let down and think it’s going to be an easy game,” Hattis said. hat includes this week- end. While Texas comes in ranked second in the AVCA Coaches poll, none of the other teams in the tourna- ment are in the top 25 and only one, New Mexico, re- ceived votes in the poll. he Longhorns bring in a team loaded with talent, despite losing four players from last year’s team be- cause of graduation. Along the usual suspects with in senior outside hitters Haley Eckerman and Khat Bell, Texas brought in two top freshmen in libero, Cat McCoy and defensive spe- cialist Kate Palladino. With the top players they have, head whom coach Jerritt Elliott plans on moving to a 6-2 formation, keeping a libero in the back row at all times with the hope of that opening up the ofense. “With us running the players that we have, we have the ability this year that’s a lot more comfort- able than it’s ever been,” Elliott said. three Texas will get a chance to try out the new system teams against that struggled in 2013. New Mexico is the only other team in the tournament to boast a winning record last year but still missed out on the postseason. he other two, UTEP and Seattle, com- bined for a 27-36 record. Even with the lower lev- el of competition to open the season, Elliott said they’re ready to start com- peting against someone other than themselves. “hey’ve been pushing each other a lot,” Elliott said. “It will be great to see somebody else across the net and see kind of where we’re at at this point.” 7 SIDELINE MLB RANGERS ASTROS NCAAF TEXAS A&M S.

He has a lot of physical ability, and the big thing with him, like a lot of young guys, is simply maturing as a player. He deinitely demonstrated that. But he has been out the last couple weeks.

In 2003, Bender discovered writing was more challenging for her than act- ing and moved from acting to writing plays. participating One of 40 Austin play- wrights in Austin’s irst annual One- Minute Play Festival on Friday, Bender is set for another challenge. “he unique challenge of a one-minute play is that it is really hard to have an idea simple enough to contain a beginning and an end,” Bender said. For another Master of Fine Arts playwriting student, Jo- anna Garner, participating in this festival was about en- suring that her play did not look like a gimmick, improv or sketch. “It was about looking at the story ideas bubbling in my head, and how I could tell those in just one minute, zeroing in on the pure, emo- tional aspect of the story,” Garner said.

The local, Austin-only store features classical hats with elegant craftsmanship. Ethan Oblak | Daily Texan Staff chain,” Sandlin said. “Be- ing a local, Austin-only store, we like to go along with the slogan of ‘Keep Austin Weird.’ We’re a weird company. People come in and say that hats are weird.” According to Miran- da Hilderbrand, Hatbox manager and UT gradu- ate student, Hatbox sees its share of students inter- ested in upgrading their headwear. She said young adults regularly flaunt the company’s products. “I’ve seen a lot of students walking around on cam- pus with hats we’ve sold,” Hilderbrand said. “We’ve previously worked with UT before; we’ve hatted their marching band.” Joanne Kim, Spanish and chemistry sophomore, oten inds herself wearing difer- ent types of hats, most of which are more contempo- rary, as opposed to the clas- sical designs sold by Hatbox. Despite the diference in Ethan Oblak | Daily Texan Staff Patrick Hornbeck sets up hats for display at the Hatbox store Thursday afternoon.

I originally stuck with beanies. Now, I’m obsessed with snapbacks. If I’m look- ing for something formal, I’ll wear fedoras.” Haberdasheries like Hat- box are somewhat of a rapidly growing phenomenon in a city that prides itself on being unusual. he employ- ees at Hatbox say they try to convince people who don’t believe they could adapt to regularly wearing hats to simply give it a shot. “People will come in and say that they like hats, but they wouldn’t look good on them,” Hilderbrand said. “We take that and say, ‘Chal- lenge accepted.’” CITY By Alex Pelham @talkingofpelham Aaron Sandlin could eas- ily be called a hat advocate. As an employee at Hatbox: A Modern Haberdash- ery’s South Congress store, Sandlin appreciates hats for their elegant cratsmanship and design. “I always like to say that hats are special because not everybody will wear them,” Sandlin said. “A hat can help your appearance; it can bring out something in your face.

In their season inale, the Longhorns sat tied with Baylor at haltime of the de facto Big 12 championship game, with the opportunity to claim their irst confer- ence title and BCS bowl ap- pearance in four years. But that’s not how it would end, as Texas went on to lose to the Bears and ended up getting drilled by a much stronger Oregon team in the Valero Alamo Bowl to close the book on the Mack Brown era.

Former quarter- back Garrett Gilbert failed to produce results, causing him to transfer to SMU ater his junior season. Colt’s younger broth- er, Case, showed lashes of potential but never turned into the solution Texas needed. And David Ash, who was once full of promise, has sufered multi- ple head injuries that have kept him of the ield throughout his irst three seasons. But now, with a re- vamped approach under new head coach Char- lie Strong, Texas’ chance to shine will again come down to consistency at the quarterback position. Of the last four national championship winning teams, two were led by Heis- man-winning quarterbacks — Cam Newton and Jameis Winston — and the other Texas quarterback David Ash has showed lashes of brilliance for the Longhorns when healthy, but his history of concussions has prevented him from playing a full season at Texas.

During the 2013 season, hompson oten found himself in poor positions and wasn’t there to make a play or took a bad angle to the ball. As a senior, it will be hompson’s job to help the safety opposite of him, as it will either be true freshman Jason Hall or sophomore walk-on Dylan Haines this weekend. It will be interesting to see how much hompson has improved under former Longhorn defensive back and current defensive coordinator Vance Bedford. Center Dom Espinosa As a fourth-year starter, senior center Dom Espinosa inds himself as the leader of the ofensive line. Espinosa will be the line’s anchor as ofensive line coach Joe Wick- line has yet to ind a cohesive group of starters. While Wickline searches for the right combination, it will be Es- pinosa’s job to hold the line accountable and ensure the hogs are doing their job. With the emphasis on running the ball and keeping quarterback David Ash healthy, it’s important the guys up front dominate the line of scrim- mage. Wide receiver Marcus Johnson Although senior wide receiver Jaxon Shipley, who was out for most of fall camp with a hamstring injury, has been cleared to play against North Texas, junior Marcus Johnson is still an important cog in the Longhorn ofense. Johnson has made big plays of of the deep pass. He caught two touchdowns in 2013 and had 350 receiving yards. While the deep threat from League City, has made big plays during his career, Strong is looking for a receiver who can not only be a vertical threat but can also take a short play and make it into a big gain. Johnson’s coun- terpart, Shipley, is more of a possession receiver which means Johnson has the greatest potential to be that guy for Strong. 7 ense. big ass. wns ceiv- hreat ade eer, a re- y be also ake on’s is ceiv- n has o be Come on! everyone’s invited Free Food & Fun!

Seven starters from that defen- sive unit are gone, leaving Akunne as the most accomplished returning veteran in 2014. Akunne turned in a stellar junior campaign last year, inishing second on the Mean Green with 90 tackles while racking up four pass breakups, 4.5 tackles for loss and a forced fum- ble. At 6 foot, 242 pounds, the versatile linebacker possesses the size and quickness to range from sideline to sideline and stop the run. He likely hasn’t ever faced a rushing attack quite as potent as the Longhorns’, but he should be the most feared player on the North Texas defense come Saturday. Junior RB Antoinne Jimmerson Jimmerson turned in another impressive season as a sophomore last year, rushing for 446 yards and seven touchdowns in a reserve role. He enters this season as the feature back, and he appears deserving of the promotion. Jimmerson has averaged at least 4.2 yards per carry and scored at least ive touchdowns in each of his irst two seasons, and those numbers could both improve as he earns more carries in 2014. He has the ability to impact the passing game too, as he racked up 298 receiving yards and 5 receiving touch- downs in his irst two seasons. Texas will be eager to improve its run defense this season, but the versatile Jimmerson has the skill set to give the Longhorns some trouble early on.

The junior back will rely on a veteran offensive line in front of him that returns four starters. Evans carrying on family tradition Courtesy of North Texas Daily The freshman It wasn’t clear, at first, whether Erick Evans, red- shirt running back, made the North Tex- as football team because of his skill or his connections. Seagoville High School graduate was cer- tainly signing talented, with Air Force, a top-25 FBS team at the time. But when military life differed from his expectations, he quickly sought an escape. “he Air Force wasn’t my cup of tea,” Evans said to the Denton Record-Chronicle. “I thought it was something I wanted to do, but it wasn’t the right it.” Luckily, he had pull with the Mean Green when he decided that maybe the “right fit” was just down the street from home. Ev- ans’ brother Zed, who graduated from Louisville in 2012 after playing run- ning back and defensive back for then head coach Charlie Strong, had just transferred to North Texas to capitalize on his final year of eligibility. Zed Ev- ans had been practicing for North Texas as a safety and as a member on special teams, and he would later tally 19 tackles in the 2013 season. But even before his production, Zed’s recruit- ment was enough to pull Erick Evans onto the roster. It didn’t hurt that Erick Evans had three letter-win- ning seasons and 23 touch- downs to show for his high school career. The younger Evans agreed to redshirt. “My brother told me there was a possibility he would come to North Tex- as,” Erick Evans said of his transfer. “When he said he was coming on a visit, I thought about coming here. It made it an easy decision.” Now Erick Evans looks to ease a decision his coaches must make — whether to play him during Saturday’s season opener at Darrell K Royal-Texas Stadium. He says he wants “to prove that [he] can play with the first team” by working hard and putting forth maxi- mum effort. Adversity and challenge are nothing new to Erick Evans, who broke his foot during both soph- omore and junior years of high school. Despite the in- juries, he has made a name for himself with his speed. “He brings so much speed that we have lacked,” offensive coordinator Mike Canales said. “He’s some- one we haven’t had since I have been here [for five years]. He’s that fast.” Erick Evans knows speed is his greatest strength, but he likes to say his intel- ligence is just as much an asset on the field.

Strong’s no nonsense attitude may be the tackling remedy the Longhorns needed, but North Texas is an underdog with the talent to capitalize on mistakes if the Longhorns continue to concede yards ater contact. GET THE OFFENSE CLICKING QUICKLY his year’s “warmup” game could end in a devastat- ing upset if the Longhorns cannot put some points on the board on their opening drives. North Texas is not light work for the Longhorns. he Mean Green won nine games in 2013 and inished eighth in the FBS in points allowed per game. In his irst competitive football since last Septem- ber, junior quarterback David Ash needs to complete some quick hitting passes to his patchwork crew of pass catchers on the opening drive to open up the run game for junior running back Johnathan Gray, who is com- ing of of a torn Achilles tendon. If Texas cannot control the clock with its ground game and the Mean Green stay competitive going into haltime, which is not unrealistic considering they were tied with Georgia going into the third quarter of a game last year, head coach Charlie Strong’s debut could turn sour. STOP THE RUN Texas allowed 183.1 rushing yards per game last sea- son and, in contests against BYU and Oklahoma State, the Longhorn front seven looked completely helpless against the spread-option running attack. Josh Greer, North Texas’ junior college transfer quar- terback, should not hurt the Longhorns with his legs as Taysom Hill and Clint Chelf did for BYU and OSU, but he will be handing the ball of to explosive junior running back Antoinne Jimmerson, who gets to run behind an ofensive line that returns four starters, including Mason Y’Barbo, a senior Lombardi Award candidate. Texas returns three starters at linebacker, but the veterans need to make their tackles closer to the line of scrimmage to prevent North Texas from controlling the clock and dis- rupting the Longhorns’ rhythm on ofense.

He leads the team in career interceptions (8) and pass breakups (32). He thought about leaving for the NFL last year, but new head coach Charlie Strong convinced him to stay to work with the new coaching staf and keep improv- ing. he improvement is showing as Diggs has bought into Strong’s philosophy and is the leader of the defense. Stock Down: QB Tyrone Swoopes It doesn’t seem that long ago that fans were chanting for the freshman QB to get into the game. But now, with junior quarterback David Ash back healthy as the start- er this year — and getting last year back with a medical redshirt — we may have seen the last of Swoopes as a Longhorn. Freshman QB Jerrod Heard, currently behind Swoopes, has more potential, while 6-foot-7 2015 recruit, Zach Gentry, may be the QB of the future for Texas. Stock Down: WR Daje Johnson, OT Desmond Harrison, DB Josh Turner he three will sit out of Saturday’s game against North Texas for violating “one of [the] core values,” according to Strong. hey all committed the same ofense, and the number of games they will miss has not been decided yet. Strong has laid down the law in his irst ofseason, and it’s setting the tone for the team. He dismissed RB Joe Bergeron, RB Jalen Overstreet and CB Chevoski Collins. he only diference between those kicked of and those suspended is that the former are repeat ofenders. Johnson, Harrison and Turner may be toeing a thin line from here on out. Stock Up: RB Johnathan Gray He sufered a torn Achilles tendon Nov. 9 against West Virginia, putting his junior campaign in question. He has been cleared to play, though, without any restrictions. His speed may not be what it was when he went down with the injury, but he should still give Texas a nice pairing behind the quarterback. With the dismissal of Joe Bergeron, we may be seeing a lot more of Gray than we did when he was healthy last year.

Friday, August 29, 2014 11 Matchups: Week 1 11 By Daniel Clay @Dclay567 WR QB RB Advantage: Texas Advantage: Texas Saturday marks junior David Ash’s irst competitive football game since last September. In that time, however, Ash has had the beneit of tutelage from new quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson, who molded Teddy Bridgewater into a star. North Texas announced Monday that it will be starting Josh Greer, sophomore junior college transfer, who put up decent numbers — passing for 1,205 yards and eight touchdowns in six games — at Na- varro College last season. Head coach Charlie Strong’s decision to dismiss Joe Bergeron ended any hope of a three-pronged attack for the Longhorns, but the loss means more touches for ju- nior Johnathan Gray and senior Malcolm Brown, who led the team with 1,099 all- purpose yards last season. he Mean Green will miss senior Bran- din Byrd, last season’s leading rusher, but explosive junior Antoinne Jimmerson has the potential to rip of long runs, with the help of a veteran ofensive line. Advantage: Texas A healthy Jaxon Shipley, who has been cleared to play Saturday, is what swings this matchup in the Longhorns’ favor. But behind the senior is returning junior con- tributor Marcus Johnson and few others to ill the void let by the departures of Mike Davis and Kendall Sanders. he Mean Green ofense is predicated on spreading the ball around its receiving corps, meaning even receivers who were low on last year’s depth chart have experi- ence. he addition of three-star freshman Tee Goree will help replace North Texas’ top two receivers. OL Advantage: North Texas UNT returns four starters from last year’s ofensive line, including two Lom- bardi Award candidates in senior guards Cyril Lemon and Mason Y’Barbo. he Longhorns lost four starters from last season, but return senior center standout Dominic Espinosa. New ofen- sive line coach Joe Wickline’s magic could make this unit a team strength by the end of the season. DL LB DB ST Advantage: Texas Advantage: Texas Advantage: North Texas Advantage: North Texas North Texas begins 2014 without any of last year’s starting defensive linemen. Texas counters that by bringing back three of four starters on a strong defen- sive line. Man-eating defensive tackles, senior Desmond Jackson and junior Mal- com Brown, will keep ofensive linemen occupied and help star senior defensive end Cedric Reed build of last season’s ten-sack campaign. Texas returns all three starters, but the trio of senior Jordan Hicks, senior Steve Edmond and junior Peter Jinkens were forced to make too many tackles downield and struggled mightily at times against spread option ofenses. he Mean Green only return one starter from last year’s solid corps but welcome the addition of junior Anthony Wallace, a former four-star Oregon recruit. he North Texas secondary, anchored by senior safety Lairamie Lee and three cornerbacks who combined for seven picks and seven tackles for loss last sea- son, should be the strength of the Mean Green defense. he Longhorns’ secondary struggled to consistently tackle last year. At times, they were painful to watch. Senior cor- nerback Quandre Diggs is a returning bright spot with excellent cover skills, which should ease the burden carried by freshman safety Jason Hall. North Texas lost star return man Brelan Chancellor but retains redshirt sophomore punter Blake Macek, who was responsible for the average oppos- ing drive starting at the 25.8-yard line last year, the ith best mark in the nation. Junior kick returner Daje Johnson has the elusiveness and breakaway speed that makes him a threat to score on every re- turn, but the loss of kicker Anthony Fera will hurt, and senior punter William Russ has yet to see the ield during his career. 12 Friday, August 29, 2014 13 Gray, Brown combine to lead Texas offense By Drew Lieberman @DrewLieberman egated to a backup role. But that all changed against the Soon- ers, when Gray and Brown ran around the Sooner defense to the tune of 123 and 120 yards, respectively. In Texas’ next few games, the duo split carries, with each back having his own suc- cess. his season, Texas will look to emulate last year’s combined success against Oklahoma and will likely do so by splitting car- ries between the backs who, in essence, will both be starters. “Coach T-Rob — he likes ev- erybody playing,” Brown, who is entering his senior season, said. ”So we’re gonna have a nice little rotation; if somebody gets hot, they are going to stay in until they get tired.” While there is little doubt the two running backs can be efec- tive when healthy, their track records in that department is a cause for concern. Last season, junior Gray missed Texas’ inal four games with a torn Achil- les tendon, and although he is cleared to play, his ability to re- turn to pre-injury form remains to be seen. Brown, on the other hand, missed eight games over his irst two seasons but didn’t sufer an injury in 2013. he Longhorns need the two backs to be healthy in 2014, but Robinson knows he will need to have other backs ready to go regardless. “You got to have all your kids prepared to play,” Robinson said. “A few years ago, you knew that one kid was going to be your guy, and you can hone in on him a little bit and focus. But now you can’t do that — you got to get all your kids ready to go.” With the dismissal of Bergeron and also Jalen Overstreet in July, Texas has a pair of freshmen, Donald “Duke” Catalon and D’Onta Foreman, as its only real depth at the position. Catalon was an ESPN Top 300 player and someone whose knowledge of the game impressed coach Rob- inson early. “Duke Catalon came in, and I could tell Duke was very well- coached,” Robinson said. “his kid was ready. Now he still has a lot to learn, but his football IQ was pretty high for a freshman coming in.” Foreman, on the other hand, was a late qualiier who gained eligibility in summer school. Both running backs will likely see the ield early on, although Catalon is expected to miss the North Texas game due to an in- jury. If Gray and Brown stay healthy, the Longhorns will have one of the best tandems in the nation. However, if injuries arise, Texas’ lack of depth will drasti- cally hinder the running game. When Texas running backs Johnathan Gray and Malcolm Brown irst learned of Joe Bergeron’s dismissal from the program, it would’ve been natural for them to worry about their position. Ater all, Bergeron’s 25 ca- reer rushing touch- downs equaled the combined production from the duo over their entire collegiate careers. But instead of panick- ing, both backs accepted responsibility are poised to run wild this season. and “When it happened, Johnathan called and I said, ‘What are you think- ing?’ and he just took a deep breath and said, ‘We got it, coach,’” Tommie Robinson, Texas running backs coach, said. “Malcolm being so ma- ture, he knows what it takes to win. He knows what he has to do. He knows what his role is going to be, and if we add a lit- tle more to it, he’s ine with it.” Last season, the Longhorns didn’t oten use Gray and Brown in a tandem. Until the Oklahoma game, Gray was primarily the feature back with Brown rel- O F F E N S E Malcolm Brown Running back Defensive tackles Malcom Brown (90) and Desmond Jackson (99) have made a name for themselves in the middle of Texas defensive line heading into this season. The two big men have both had individual success as Longhorns but seem to be at their best when paired together. Shweta Gulati | Daily Texan ile photo Tackles anchor Longhorn defense By Stefan Scraield @stefanscraield It’s rare for defensive tackles to get much media attention. The big men in the middle are generally relied upon to stuff the run and occupy blockers, two fundamentals that don’t exactly get fans jumping out of their seats. But, when they combine to weigh over 600 pounds and bench press more than 900, it’s hard to ignore them. That is the case for Texas’ interior pairing of Malcom Brown and Desmond “Tank” Jackson, who have been mak- ing headlines this offseason as two of Texas’ most dominant defensive players. “Anytime he gets a play I’ll hear his mouth and I’ll tell him, ‘Don’t worry about it. I’ll get two plays,’” Jackson said of the competitive relationship be- tween the two linemen. “Then I get two plays and then I’ll get in his ear about it. We just re- ally go back and forth, so it’s just competing.” That “friendly” competition and the development of their relationship has a lot to do with how the duo has improved as Longhorns, but, aside from journeys to this that, their point are quite different. as as the second best defensive tackle in his class and the 12th best player overall, according to ESPN. Ever since arriving in Austin, the Brenham, Texas, native has lived up to the lofty expectations that accompany such a highly touted recruit. After playing in all 13 games as a freshman, Brown was ele- vated to a starting role last year and exploded onto the scene. As a sophomore he registered 68 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, two sacks and six quarterback pressures, impressive numbers for any defensive lineman, let alone a supposed run stop tack- le like Brown. Brown, a junior, came to Tex- At 6-foot-2, 320 pounds, it’s hard to believe someone of Brown’s size can run at all, but it is his athleticism that sets him apart. “Malcom [Brown] is big guy that can move, very power- ful, can get in to somebody’s body, can punch and get off the block and then go run and chase the football,” said head coach Charlie Strong. “We had a scrimmage and they threw a screen play to one of the backs and you saw him running down from behind once we got the ball, kept it inside and front of us.” Jackson’s road to the top of the DEFENSE page 18 14 Friday, August 29, 2014 NCAA denies OU’s DGB appeal 14 By Jacob Martella @ViewFromTheBox Oklahoma wide receiver Dorian Green-Beckham will have to wait until 2015 to play at Oklahoma ater the NCAA denied his ap- peal to allow him to play this year.

Rich- ardson, who has thrown for 1,938 yards, 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions in his career, was named the starter going into last season, but the junior struggled to be consistent and lost the job to Grant Rohach, who led the Cyclones to wins over Kan- sas and West Virginia.

Wisconsin is fortunate that this game is in Houston — rather than Death Valley — but will have to replace a chunk of its defensive line and contain ive-star freshman running back Leonard Fournette. LSU, on the other hand, needs to ind a solid quarterback to replace Zach Mettenberger in order to compete in the SEC. his might be an early-season game, but it could have big implications on the playofs come January. No. 12 Georgia vs. No. 16 Clemson his has to be the most underrated top 25 match up in a while. Even with both teams having to replace quarterbacks taken in the NFL drat, these two squads could also be contenders for the playofs, and this game could go a long way in determining their 2014 destinies. he matchup that will likely decide this game will be between the Clem- son front seven and Georgia junior running back Todd Gurley. If the Tigers can contain Gurley, they have a shot at pulling of a big road upset to begin the season. No. 1 Florida State vs. Oklahoma State (in Arlington) West Virginia vs. No. 2 Alabama (in Atlanta) Ater a bit of a tumultuous ofseason, red- shirt sophomore quarterback Jameis Win- ston, the reigning Hesiman Trophy winner, leads Florida State in the irst step of trying to repeat as national champion. Despite the losses of Devonta Freeman and Kelvin Ben- jamin on the ofensive side of the ball and Timmy Jernigan on the defensive end, the Seminoles have the talent and depth to pull of a repeat. However, despite a lack of re- turning experience, the Cowboys won’t be a walkover. Junior quarterback J.W. Walsh, former Big 12 Ofensive Freshman of the Year, will control the reigns of an ofense that features an impressive running back duo of senior Desmond Roland and junior- college transfer Tyreek Hill, who has made a name for himself with his speed. With both teams hoping to be back in the same stadium Jan. 12, expect this to be a pretty competitive game. his is an intriguing matchup between two teams that had disappointing inishes to last season. West Virginia has struggled since joining the Big 12 two years ago but comes into this season with a boatload of running backs and solid depth at the wide receiver position. Alabama, on the other hand, is looking to atone for two bad loss- es at the end of the year to Auburn and Oklahoma, ater a run of three titles in four years. he most interesting matchup will be the quarterback battle between the Mountaineers’ Clint Trickett and the Crim- son Tide’s Jacob Coker, both of whom are transfers from Florida State. And while this could become a runaway in Alabama’s favor, don’t immediately discount a West Virginia team that could be a dark horse in the Big 12 this year.

Florida State QB Jameis Winston (So.) Last Game Played: N/A 2013 Season: 257-for-384 (66.9%), 4,057 yards, 40 TDs, 10 INTs, 219 rushing yards, 4 rushing TDs Winston comes into this season as the reigning Hesiman Trophy winner and reigning na- tional champion. He and his Florida State Seminoles took 2013 by storm, and based on their schedule this year, there is no reason Winston can’t at least be back as a inalist for college foot- ball’s most prestigious award. he Seminoles will barely be tested during their repeat national championship quest. heir toughest contests will be matchups with Clemson, Notre Dame, Miami (FL), Florida and Oklahoma State. his should bode well for Winston’s chances. What won’t, however, is history. Only one player ever, Ohio State’s Archie Griin in 1974 and 1975, has won the Heisman Trophy twice. 2. Oregon QB Marcus Mariota (Jr.) Last Game Played: N/A 2013 season: 245-for-386 (63.5%), 3665 yards, 31 TDs, 4 INTs, 715 rushing yards, 9 rushing TDs Many have Mariota as their Heisman favorite for a lot of reasons, but one sticks out the most: his intangibles. he junior quarterback runs a high-octane Oregon ofense as eiciently as ever and makes little mistakes along the way. But more than that, he’s as mature as they come, and as a result, is prepared to handle the toughest of situations. Mariota is incredibly consistent and is poised to become one of the biggest names in college football this year. He won’t have an easy road to the Heisman, given Oregon’s diicult schedule, but there’s a reason the Ducks are favored to earn one of the four playof spots: Mariota’s supporting cast. With them, Mariota’s chances are very high. 3. Baylor QB Bryce Petty (Sr.) Last Game Played: N/A 2013 Season: 250-for-403 (62.0%), 4,200 yards, 32 TDs, 3 INTs, 209 rushing yards, 14 rushing TDs Petty broke out last season under Baylor head coach Art Briles’ quarterback-friendly system. he Midlothian, Texas, native protected the ball well while also putting up the fourth-most yards by any FBS quarterback. He had the second-best passer rating, behind Winston, and led Baylor to a Big 12 title, only losing one game along the way. But it’s Petty’s X factor, his running game, which really had a surprising efect on games. He’ll have to up the ante to surpass the likes of Mariota and Winston, but is certainly in the mix. 4. UCLA QB Brett Hundley (Jr.) Last Game Played: N/A 2013 Season: 248-for-369 (67.2%), 3,071 yards, 24 TDs, 9 INTs, 748 rushing yards, 11 rushing TDs In a dual-threat quarterback era, Hundley has made his name known for both passing and rushing. Hundley’s arm and his prototypical throwing style puts him among the elite college signal callers, and the fact he accounted for 66 percent of UCLA’s ofense last season shows the type of impact he has. Hundley needs to prove he can win every game, and the Oct. 11 matchup versus Mariota’s Ducks could be huge for his campaign. 5. Georgia RB Todd Gurley (Jr.) Last Game Played: N/A 2013 Season: 165 carries, 989 yards, 10 TDs he college football landscape has changed, and new pass-heavy systems have decreased the Heisman opportunities for running backs. Realistically, Gurley would have to have an unbe- lievable season to win this award. But being the best running back in the nation puts Gurley in the preseason discussion. Gurley had an injury-riddled 2013, which afected his numbers. So matching or surpassing his 2012, 1,385-yard season is not only possible, but expected.

Harris possesses dangerous speed that allows him to separate himself from the coverage and break of big runs ater the catch. Last season, he inished third on North Texas with 47 receptions, 553 yards and two touchdowns. Both of the Mean Green’s starting receivers from 2013 are gone, meaning Harris should have an even bigger role in the ofense this season. In addition to being a viable receiving threat, Harris will take over as North Texas’ punt returner this season. Sophomore QB Josh Greer Greer is yet to attempt a pass at the NCAA level, but he earned the starting nod under center junior Andrew McNulty due to his playmaking ability. At 6-foot-5-inch, 220 pounds, Greer possesses ideal size for a dual-threat quarterback, and he impressed enough in the ofseason to be named the starter despite his lack of game experience. He faces the tough task of making his debut against a ferocious Texas defensive front that excelled at pressuring the pass last season. Greer will need considerable help from his ofensive line to give him time in the pocket and allow him to ind an early rhythm. UNT continues from page 8 develop as a total player.” His North Texas team- mates believe Evans has developed, both on and off the field. They noted that Erick Evans’ intelligence doesn’t fade when he walks off the field — rather, he steps up to show his com- petitive edge every time he touches the ball, according to senior offensive lineman Mason Y’Barbo. Canales echoed the sentiments, ad- miring Erick Evans’ attitude toward the game. “He’s a great kid who nev- er complains or questions anything,” Canales said. “He was just waiting for an opportunity and has shown he wants the job.” Erick Evans may not have made it to Denton on his own — most critics say it was his brother’s connec- tions that brought him back south. But since he stepped foot in the Dallas suburb, the younger Evans has earned every bit of recogni- tion he’s received. The rec- ognition came quickly too but, for an oft-described “speed back,” moving fast is nothing new. DEFENSE continues from page 12 Longhorn hasn’t been so smooth. depth chart He too was a top-ranked recruit, coming to Texas a year before Brown as the fourth-best defensive tack- le in the class of 2011, ac- cording to ESPN. But the senior’s first two years as a Longhorn weren’t nearly as impressive, as he recorded just 43 tackles in 25 games as a freshman and sopho- more. He became known more as a guy who could lift a ton of weight — he benched 525 pounds as a sophomore — than as a good football player. Finally paired with Brown as a starter in 2013, Jack- son began to make a name for himself. In Texas’ early November contest against West Virginia, Tank, as he’s aptly nicknamed, registered eight tackles, three tack- les for loss and two sacks, wreaking absolute havoc in the Mountaineer backfield. That performance appeared to give Johnson a confi- dence boost, as he finished out the season averaging four tackles per game, fi- nally living up to the high expectations that have fol- lowed him throughout his college career. “You look at [Jackson] and there’s a guy who isn’t very big, but he can just an- chor the line of scrimmage and you like that because he is so strong,” Strong said. While both Brown and Jackson are very talented athletes on their own, it appears as though they are at their best when paired together. “When he messes up or I mess up we can tell each other about it,” Brown said when asked what makes them so good together. “When we come off the field he’ll ask me what I got on this play and if he did the right thing, or I can ask him what kind of block he got and see if I did the right thing.” 19 4 LINES /mo On our network.

However, they are still serious contenders for not just the Big 12 crown, but for a spot in the irst College Football Play- off. Sophomore quarterback Trevor Knight is poised for a big season after dominating Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, while the defense should be mighty tough. 2 Baylor This may be just a two-team race between Baylor and Oklahoma, with the big matchup coming Nov. 8 in Oklahoma. Baylor will, no doubt, rack up points with possibly the best offense in college football. Senior quarterback Bryce Petty returns to christen the new stadium, helped by having the majority of his receiving corps back. The only question is whether the defense can at least be mediocre. That’s all they may need. 3 Kansas State There is a signiicant drop-off after Baylor. But, Senior Wildcat quarterback Jake Waters made huge strides throughout last year, after struggling at irst, and senior wide receiver Tyler Lockett turned into a star. And you can never underestimate head coach Bill Snyder. 4 Texas Texas may be the most unpredictable team in the conference. Can junior quarterback Davis Ash take that next step in solidifying his role as the leader of the offense? Can the running back duo of junior Johnathan Gray and senior Malcolm Brown stay healthy? What will head coach Charlie Strong’s impact be? Can the de- fense stay more consistent? The talent is there, but so are the question marks. Best case scenario, it inishes third in the conference behind far more talented teams in Baylor and Oklahoma. N e w around here ? Come pray with us ! W�lc��� W���!

They continue to juggle the quarterback posi- tion, with junior J.W. Walsh getting the start in week one — deja vu. In addition, Walsh will have a thinner receiving corps and a defense that lost most of its playmakers. 6 Texas Tech Sophomore quarterback Davis Webb is going to be a star soon. His 403-yard, four touchdown performance in the Holiday Bowl proved his potential. The Red Raid- ers will score points, but they may give up even more. They surrendered over 30 points per game last season and only return three starters on defense. 7 TCU TCU lost Devonte Fields, the preseason Big 12 Defen- sive Player of the Year, before the season even started, and he may have taken any hope it had with him. The Horned Frogs will have senior Texas A&M transfer Matt Joeckel at quarterback, which is an improvement at the position, but that isn’t enough to make them rel- evant for a Big 12 title. 8 Iowa State Iowa State was awful last year and don’t look to be much better this year. Its offense looks almost identi- cal, as does the defense. That’s not a good thing. 9 West Virginia That Geno Smith Mountaineer team is a thing of the past. The only bright spot from last year’s team — run- ning back Charles Sims — has graduated to the NFL. Its defense should improve marginally, but that’s not saying much. 10 Kansas Poor Jayhawks. The only intrigue here is how long head coach Charlie Weis will keep his job. 22 Friday, August 29, 2014 23 DOUBLE COVERAGE 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 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 Overall Record 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 North Texas vs. Texas Texas 42-17 Texas 32-10 Texas 38-10 Texas 35-10 Texas 44-20 Texas 30-20 Texas 31-13 Texas 42-21 Texas 35-14 Texas 38-13 Georgia Clemson Georgia Clemson Clemson Georgia Georgia Georgia Georgia Georgia Florida State Florida State Florida State Florida State Florida State Florida State Florida State Florida State Florida State Florida State Miami Miami Miami Miami Louisville Louisville Louisville Louisville Miami Louisville Wisconsin vs. LSU LSU LSU Wisconsin Wisconsin Wisconsin LSU LSU LSU LSU Wisconsin Auburn Auburn Auburn Auburn Auburn Auburn Auburn Auburn Auburn Auburn California Northwestern California Northwestern Northwestern California Northwestern California Northwestern Northwestern Fresno State vs. USC USC USC USC USC USC USC USC USC USC USC UCLA vs. Virginia UCLA UCLA UCLA UCLA UCLA UCLA UCLA UCLA UCLA UCLA Washington vs. Hawaii Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Washington Hawaii Clemson vs. Georgia Florida State vs. Oklahoma State Miami (FL) vs. Louisville Arkansas vs. Auburn California vs. Northwestern 24 INTRODUCING FASTER SPEEDS FOR BURNT ORANGE NATION.
