No doubt in white outLions Wrap: Penn State football’s game vs. Michigan is over,

on to Ohio StateBy Matt Martell

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN

No. 2 Penn State took care of its first true test of the 2017 season when it routed Michigan 42-13 Saturday night. Obviously, it was worth celebrating for the Nittany Lions.

The celebration lasted about an hour, with the game ending around 11 p.m. Then, when Satur-day became Sunday, Penn State turned the page to its next oppo-nent, No. 6 Ohio State.

“We’ve got 37 minutes to enjoy this win,” James Franklin said during his post-game press con-ference. It was 11:23 p.m. Satur-day night. “Then the next day we’ll focus on the next opponent.”

But the Buckeyes will almost definitely pose a more difficult threat for the Nittany Lions than the Wolverines did.

Since losing to Oklahoma in Week 2, Ohio State has been one of the more explosive offenses in the country, thanks to a resur-gence from quarterback J.T. Bar-rett.

Plus, the Buckeyes have an NFL-ready defensive line. The Wolverines’ defensive front is one of the best units in the confer-ence, but Ohio State’s group is the best in the Big Ten.

Still, there were tons of positive signs in the Nittany Lions’ white out game that suggest they can beat the Buckeyes in Columbus.

The Penn State offense broke out a handful of offensive wrin-kles, including a wildcat forma-tion disguised with an audible, and Franklin said offensive co-ordinator Joe Moorhead still has quite a few tricks up his sleeve. The Nittany Lions also have the top scoring defense in the coun-try, allowing just 9.6 points per game.

Day to rememberPenn State’s offense tallied

506 yards against Michigan’s de-fense, which came into the game with the No. 1 total defense in the FBS. The Wolverines hadn’t al-lowed more than 278 yards in any of their first six contests.

All parts of the Nittany Lions’

offense were clicking. Saquon Barkley dominated again, and quarterback Trace McSorley found his groove and picked apart Michigan’s press-man coverage.

“We just did a good job of re-ally manipulating the matchups and taking advantage of them,” McSorley said. “Our guys did a good job of winning versus man, and we knew we were going to get that.”

Day to forgetMichigan, Michigan, Michigan.

On to Ohio State.

Did you notice?After the game, punter Blake

Gillikin completely trolled Michigan kicker, and former Penn State commit, Quinn Nor-din on Twitter.

The tweet feature three small airplane emojis, a jab the video Nordin made when he committed to Penn State. In the video, Nor-din flew into State College on a private plane, but he later flipped his commitment to the Wolver-ines.

Nordin missed one of his two extra point attempts on the night.

Extra pointWatching Penn State run out

of the tunnel to Aerosmith’s “Dream On” in front of 110,000 cheering fans as Beaver Stadium set off a fireworks show was prob-ably the coolest moment of the day. GameDay was special, Bark-ley’s nice 69-yard touchdown run was clutch, but man, the pregame theatrics made everything about the sport sink in.

Moments like that are what make college football so impor-tant to so many people.

Quotable“I would’ve liked to see a higher

percentage of white pants. There were a lot more white pants this year than the year before. I would’ve liked to see a higher percentage of truly white pants,” said James Franklin on the white out crowd.

‘Truth week’ speakers announced

By Cissy MingFOR THE COLLEGIAN

Penn State’s College Republicans will host a series of two speakers as part of its an-nual “Truth Week 2017.”

According to a press release , Austin Petersen will speak at 8 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 23, in 201 Thomas. Petersen, a former lib-ertarian presidential candidate, hopes to win the Republican nomination in Missouri’s 2018 Senate race.

Tuesday at 8 p.m., the club plans to hold a moderated discussion on sexual assault and prevention with Kimberly Cor-ban , in 262 Willard, according to the release. Corban appeared in CNN’s Guns in America town hall last year to ask then-presi-dent Obama about the right to carry a firearm to protect her-self from sexual assault. A rape survivor and victim’s advocate, Corban is also an active support-er of the Second Amendment.

“We are excited to welcome both these amazing speakers to Penn State’s campus,” the College Republicans said in the release.

New IFC president aims to lead greek life into a ‘new era’

By Bailey JensenTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN

Mahatma Gandhi ’s attributed quote, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world,” has inspired the new Interfraternity Council President ¬John Lord, as he prescribes it relevant to the greek community and its current goal for change.

Lord (junior-finance) was elected as IFC president on Tuesday, Oct. 17, and has since been thinking about his position and the positions of those work-ing alongside him.

He said he has been working

with Dean Vetere , the past pres-ident, to go through the transi-tion process until official instal-lation of his position.

Lord said he feels honored and excited to have been elected IFC president.

“I believe that our greek com-munity has the opportunity to be the change we want to see in greek communities across the country,” Lord said. “I plan on leading greek life into a new era – one defined by safety, support and pride.”

Spencer Lawsuit reveals student ideas on free speech

By Nicholas CapriTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN

The topic of free speech on American university campuses has been increasingly relevant following student protests of controversial, and typically conservative, speakers — often prompting universities to act.

In August, Penn State President Eric Barron blocked white supremacist Richard Spencer, saying he was “not wel-come on our campus,” as report-ed by The Daily Collegian — a decision consistent with several other universities, including Auburn University.

In a public statement on Penn State News, Barron cited “the likelihood of disruption and violence, not the content” as the reason for his decision to bar Spencer from speaking on campus.

The Georgia State University student who attempted to book the event, Cameron Padgett , is suing Penn State for violating his first amendment rights by refusing to rent him space, as reported by The Daily Collegian.

“I think it is a publicity stunt for the kid that is doing it,” Aidan Mattis , a founding mem-ber of Turning Point USA at Penn State, a conservative non-profit, said.

Penn State football player signs copies of his book

By Gabrielle Barone THE DAILY COLLEGIAN

Bill Contz cracked jokes, let fans try on his football ring and interacted with readers during the signing of his book, “When the Lions Roared: Joe Paterno and One of College Foot-ball’s Greatest Teams,” on Saturday.

A 1983 Penn State graduate, Contz was part of the 1982 football team that won the National Championship. Todd Blackledge, a part of the same team, wrote the book’s foreword.

In the 1990s, Contz found a foot-ball encyclopedia that included the “toughest annual schedules” of col-lege football, on which Penn State was listed multiple times. Contz had just assumed it was commonplace to be winning so many games against so many tough schedules and to go on to win the National Champion-

ship, as his team had done. He kept up with the journal and, in

2015, realized that the 35th reunion of the 1982 team was quickly approach-ing. He wanted to tie those statistics to a more complete backstory of his team. He approached Triumph pub-lishing, which had previously pub-lished Jay Paterno’s book “Paterno Legacy,” about the idea, and they liked it. Though he realizes that call-ing his team “one of college football’s greatest” is subjective, he believes the statistics back it up.

Calling the writing process “chal-lenging,” Contz spent two-and-a-half years working on the book — from initial interviews to writing to editing.

An inexperienced writer, Contz said he was somewhat nervous to ap-proach former teammates he hadn’t talked to in a while.

“Turns out nearly all of them said

‘Absolutely,’ and ‘Why did you take so long?’” Contz said.

Contz said the book he once called “a labor of love” took on a life of its own. After he would complete inter-views with one former teammate, he would tell Contz a story that led to in-terviews with multiple others.

The most exciting part, he said, was hearing his teammates versions of events he’d been a part of — or hadn’t.

“There are things that occurred the morning of the Sugar Bowl I nev-er even knew of,” he said.

Turning these stories into a book, Contz had to develop a writing phi-losophy.

“Edit, re-edit, edit again and get multiple people to look [at it],” Contz said.

A laughing matter: Penn State student comedian goes on tour

By Alex AltieriTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN

One Penn State student is deliver-ing laughs all across Pennsylvania.

Joe Esch said he’s been interested in standup comedy since his sopho-more year of high school.

“It all started when my brother told me you can listen to comedy on Pan-dora,” he said.

A Pittsburgh native, Esch (junior-actuarial science) would write jokes on notecards and store them in his dresser throughout high school.

“I ended up with a stack about an inch thick,” he said.

Most of the jokes have since been retired.

With such a large student popula-tion, Penn State provided the perfect opportunity for Esch to take telling jokes to the next level. He joined Second Floor Standup, Penn State’s standup comedy club, as a freshman.

Last summer, Esch performed in

his first comedy festival.

The Burning Bridges Festival, set in Esch’s home-town Pittsburgh, is a “DIY” project, according to their website. The first festival was in 2016. Starting Nov. 1 they are taking submis-sions for the 2018 showcase.

Burning Bridges is one of many fes-tivals Esch will be submitting con-tent to this year. He’s been carrying around a tripod to get footage.

Esch began a standup tour of the Keystone State on Sept. 22. The “Ours is a Beautiful Commonwealth” tour has since made stops in Old Forge, Union Dale, Bellefonte, Pitts-

burgh and State College itself. There are two more stops on the tour: one in Pittsburgh on Oct. 21 and one in Philadelphia on Oct. 27.

Without a car, Esch travels by bus. To read full story, visit

IFC From Page 1.

Last year, Lord was vice president for community relations for the IFC. Within that role, he said he was fortunate enough to establish relationships with many leaders and stakeholders in the community. He said the insight they provided him with has been an invalu-able tool in expanding his perspective.

While he feels the IFC made a lot of progress last year, Lord wants to lead the way for long-term prog-ress.

He said coming to Penn State and seeing how large and connected the greek community was what got him interested.

He said he feels greek life offers students a “home away from home” as well as an abundance of leader-ship opportunities.

He joined Pi Kappa Alpha as a freshman and is cur-rently co-chairman for canvassing and canning.

“Going greek was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and the experiences I’ve had have been amaz-ing,” Lord said. “As IFC president, I hope to pay it for-ward and strive to give all students the opportunity to have some of the rewarding experiences that I have had.”

Lord said he served on the IFC Recruitment and Standards committees when he was younger and his chapter’s risk management committee, judicial board and executive board, as well as serving as the THON Family Relations chairman.

SpeechFrom Page 1.

Publicity stunt or not, this is not the first time that Padgett has sued a university.

Padgett filed a lawsuit against Auburn University for violating his first amendment rights after the adminis-tration rejected his request to rent a room on campus.

A federal judge overturned Auburn’s decision to bar Spencer from speaking just hours before the scheduled event in April, resulting in Spencer being permitted to speak on campus. In May, Auburn University lawyers agreed to pay almost $29,000 to settle the case.

Now, Padgett is suing Penn State for the same rea-sons he sued Auburn.

“It’s an unfortunate thing but not a surprise at all,” Fernando Mendez , president of the Penn State Col-lege Democrats , said. “This is something we’ve seen at Auburn, we’ve seen it happen at the University of Florida, and I think it is going to continue to happen at all the other universities that Padgett has applied to speak at.”

Mendez (senior-political science and public rela-tions) referenced the seemingly systematic nature of Padgett’s bookings at universities across the nation, and said that Penn State’s decision to bar Spencer is “the correct decision to make.”

“[Spencer] is somebody who is purposely target-ing communities and trying to incite violence, and has done so in the past,” Mendez said.

This week Penn State is celebrating Love Your Body Week, a week-long series hosted by HealthWorks.

Not only do we think it’s important to have a week dedicated to appreciating one’s body, but it’s especially vital to have one here on a college campus where so many struggle with their bodies.

Body issues affects everyone. Whether you’re young or old, man or woman, body image is a constant issue that several people deal with throughout their lifetime — and it especially seems that way in college.

There’s the common phrase that every prospective college student hears right before they start — the dreaded “freshman 15.”

It’s normal to gain weight in college and it’s normal for our bodies to change, but that doesn’t mean it feels good or that we still want that to happen.

It’s already tough having to deal with how society believes

we should look and to then be in a constant battle with our own bodies is an unnecessary and unhealthy stress to have.

For those who are in college, it’s so easy to get caught up in the daily struggles of college life and easy for us to forget to take care of ourselves, especially since our parents aren’t there to do that for us anymore. But that’s why it’s so important and necessary for our own university to make sure they set a week aside to bring awareness to just that.

Though we should be taking care of ourselves constantly and we shouldn’t necessarily need a

week to do so, it’s definitely a nice reminder to have because it is very easy to forget to take care and love ourselves. It’s easy for students to feel self-conscious and fall into bad habits. After all, we’ve all been there. However, though it may be easy, it doesn’t mean that it’s OK or that we shouldn’t try to correct these bad habits.

That’s why having our university draw attention and provide resources toward healthy living, body issues and simply remembering to love one’s body is such a big deal.

Having these conversations, though they may be hard, are

effective and help those who are struggling.

We’re glad our university draws attention to these important issues and though we definitely believe that this merits a week, we also believe it’s important that we try to love our body every week and not just once every year.

It’s important to feel comfortable in our own skin.

Everyone has different body types and as much as we wish we could look a certain way, sometimes, we just can’t. But guess what? That is perfectly OK.

It’s alright to be different and

it’s important to love, appreciate and respect your own body. That’s not to say that we can’t improve certain things if we want to, but we should remember to do it in a healthy way. Furthermore, though there may be some things we can change or improve, there are others we can’t. So it’s pointless complaining and criticizing every little aspect of one’s body that we may not like.

Whether it’s our freckles, birth marks, scars, eye or hair color — or any other body part we may not be that comfortable with — we believe we should accept and learn to be happy with them. It’s true we may wish we had blue eyes or no freckles, but instead of wishing for something we can’t change unless we get eye-colored contacts or have plastic surgery, we can learn to love our body for what it is and realize that it’s unique and special in its own way.

Our body is very personal and intricate. It tells a story of its own and we should let it.

Everyone’s upset at President Donald Trump. Everyone’s always upset at Trump. What

did Trump do today? People are upset about it.

While I do enjoy criticizing the Orange Man as much as any-body — and I used this space a week ago to do

just that — there are times where the president isn’t given a fair shake. His decision not to recertify the Iran deal is one of them.

The Iran deal was doomed from the beginning. Why? Because negotiations only work when both sides come to the table in good faith. If you can’t count on the other side to hold up their end of the bargain, there is no reason why you should be holding up yours.

And Iran isn’t exactly a coun-try that is known for being reli-able. It is, in fact, the foremost of just three countries designat-ed as, “state sponsors of terror-ism,” by the U.S. Department of State.

Yeah, that’s right. The one country on our little blue marble that provides the most assis-tance to terrorists who wreak havoc on innocent people is the country that former President Barack Obama decided he

would try to work something out with, expecting that they weren’t pulling the wool over his eyes.

It’s really no wonder so many people on both sides of the aisle opposed the deal from the beginning. But of course, as Trump is taking action to dis-mantle it, it’s magically became some sacred cow. Now people at home and abroad are up in arms.

The most common point pro-ponents of keeping the Iran deal will bring up is that North Kore-ans, in a time when we may soon start negotiating with them regarding their nuclear program (assuming they don’t cause World War III first), will see the U.S. go back on its word on a major deal like ours with Iran and decide we can’t be trusted.

But North Korea has no rea-son to worry if it intends to make good on its word in what-ever negotiations may happen, because, what seems to get lost in this whole scenario, is that Iran isn’t exactly holding up its end of the bargain on the nucle-ar deal.

Haven’t heard that? Shocking. It’s almost like it would take a wrecking ball to the narrative that the Iran deal is working, or that it was even a good idea in the first place.

But never fear, the woman who should quite frankly run a

primary challenge against her boss in 2020, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, is here with some facts.

In a speech last Wednesday to the U.N. Security Council on the subject of Iran’s shenanigans, Haley read through a laundry list of Iranian violations, includ-ing but not limited to: violating freedom of navigation in the Persian Gulf, cyber-attacks, per-secution of journalists, Chris-tians and homosexuals, travel violations by Iranian officials, funneling weapons to Hezbollah, helping Assad in Syria and “repeated ballistic missile launches including the launch this summer of an ICMB enabling missile.”

That’s to say nothing of Iran’s alleged failure to meet expecta-tions regarding its advanced centrifuges and intimidation of nuclear inspectors.

“The regime continues to play this council,” Haley said. “Iran hides behind its assertion of technical compliance with the nuclear deal while it brazenly violates the other limits of its behavior, and we have allowed them to get away with it.”

If international diplomats con-tinue playing patty-cake with this dangerous nation, she warned, “we will soon have another North Korea on our hands.”

By decertifying the Iran deal,

the Trump administration is not automatically scrapping it or triggering sanctions. U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis even said he does not believe decertification would result in the end of the deal. But decer-tification does open several avenues through which sanc-tions could be reinstated. It’s essentially a warning shot for Iran and the rest of the world that shows the United States is serious about containing the growing threat Iran poses to the Middle East and the rest of the world.

Nobody should be even remotely surprised about how things are going with Iran. This is the nation whose lead-ers chant, “Death to Ameri-ca,” at public rallies.

Yet somehow, we thought those leaders would negotiate with us in good faith about their weapons, and then stick to whatever deal they made.

Trump is right in taking the first step questioning a deal that was poorly thought through, bad for America and bad for the world.

New schemes in Penn State’s offense

By Paddy CotterTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN

By halftime, it was easy to picture the Michigan coaching staff frantically scribbling on a

whiteboard in an attempt to figure out how to defend Penn State’s new

offensive schemes. The Wolverines defense had

given up 302 yards, the most they’d given up in any game this season, by the end of the second quarter.

“We were able to put in some new looks that we haven’t shown,” Franklin said.

The coy look on the Nittany Li-ons’ offensive weapons after the game said it all. The new quirks in the offense confused and embar-rassed their Big Ten foe.

The cocky schematic mind play sharply contrasted with the of-fense that could barely move the ball against the Wolverines’ de-fense last season.

Here’s a look at what the Nittany Lions added to their of-fense and what to look forward to as their difficult slate of games continues.

The wildcat formationPenn State brought out a vastly

different formation with the intro-

duction of the wildcat against Michigan. It couldn’t have had a better debut, as Saquon Bark-ley took the second snap of the game 69 yards to the end zone.

The traditional wildcat fea-tures a running back in the quarterback position, with the quarterback set up at either re-ceiver or running back. But the Nittany Lions put an interest-ing twist on the classic scheme, setting up in a standard one-back shotgun before shifting the formation just before the snap.

“Instead of lining up and put-ting the quarterback out wide,” Franklin said, “we’re able to shift to it at the last minute so they can’t go to a wildcat check.”

The offense returned to that well a few times on Saturday. Most times, the last second switch would result in a big gain for the Nittany Lions.

Barkley has already thrown a touchdown this season. Even though he didn’t pass out of the wildcat formation, the Heisman frontrunner is capable of doing so if needed from the quarter-back position.

Empty formationFranklin knew what Michi-

gan defensive coordinator Don Brown would throw at the Nittany Lions on Saturday. The two coached alongside each other at Maryland.

Penn State showed an emp-ty formation and, unlike their standard motion-based empty sets, stayed in the formation throughout the play.

Penn State sweeps Purdue and Indiana

The competition wasn’t the most glamorous the Nittany Lions have faced this season,

but Penn State proved why it is the No. 1 team in the country this weekend.

The Nittany Lions went on the road and took care of what

they needed to, beating Purdue and Indiana on Friday and Sat-urday night, respectively.

After becoming the fifth top-ranked team in the AVCA Coaches Poll this season, Russ Rose’s squad had an even

bigger metaphorical target on its back coming into the week-end.

Penn State seemed prime for an upset on Friday, facing a talented Purdue team on the road in a raucous arena. But, Penn State came prepared and did not show any signs that they were going to lose that match.

The Boilermakers seemed on the brink of taking the opening set of the match as they held all the momentum with the score tied at 21 apiece.

However, the Nittany Lions rattled off three straight points.

Last week’s top moments in Penn State sportsBy Matthew Lingerman

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN

From Lee Corso donning the Nittany Lion head to men’s hock-ey’s double-banner unveiling, last week was a busy week for Penn State sports. Here’s a recap of some of the most noteworthy news from all corners of the PSU athletic world.

‘Hamberger’ Helper

Award: Chase BergerThe junior forward played

a crucial part in No. 11 Penn State’s 7-5 victory over American International on Thursday night. He tallied three assists, includ-ing a helper on Andrew Sturtz’s shorthanded goal at the end of the first period.

Berger was also one of three Nittany Lions to finish at +2 on the evening and was the best Penn State faceoff man, going 8/12 on draws.

His production earned him the honor of being named the Third Star in the team’s regular season home opener.

Das Clutch Award: Laura

FreigangThe German forward played

the hero role in both of No. 9 Penn State’s games last week. In Sunday’s match at Maryland,

Freigang scored four minutes into overtime to propel the Nit-tany Lions to a 1-0 victory. The score was her second of the season, and also her second

overtime game-winner. Her number was called again on Fri-day night when Penn State went down to Purdue for the second time in the match. With just four

minutes remaining on the clock, Freigang drilled home a rebound goal to push the game into OT and prevent the Nittany Lions from losing on Jeffrey Field for

the first time this season.

Sabremetrics Award:

Penn State men’s fencingA pair of men’s fencers turned

heads at last weekend’s North American Cup event in Ana-heim. Senior sabre captain An-drew Mackiewicz won the tour-nament’s sabre competition and junior sabreur Karol Me-tryka placed third in the same event. The second-place fin-isher? Penn State alumnus and 2014 National Champion Kaito Streets. Although the top-three sweep doesn’t help Penn State in terms of NCAA standings, it does give both Mackiewicz and Metryka improved chances at qualifying for the U.S. National Team.

This week in Penn State sports history

By Dylan JacobsTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN

For this week’s edition of Penn State sports history, we take you back to last year, for a game that put Penn State football back on the map.

Unranked Penn State hosted No. 2 Ohio State in a primetime, white out showdown at Beaver Stadium on Oct. 22, 2016.

The Nittany Lions came into the game at 4-2, coming off of back-to-back wins against Min-nesota and Maryland, while the Buckeyes came in undefeated at 6-0.

Under coach Urban Meyer, Ohio State had won all 20 road games before heading to State College.

Nobody really gave Penn State much of a chance in the game.

That all changed when Marcus Allen blocked a Tyler Durbin field goal attempt and Grant Haley returned it for a

touchdown to give the Nittany Lions a 24-21 lead with just over four minutes to go.

The game itself was tight throughout, with Ohio State holding a 12-0 lead late in the first half.

But a Trace McSorley touch-down to Chris Godwin with less than a minute left in the half gave the Nittany Lions confi-dence going into the half only down 12-7.

The third quarter was all Ohio State, though.

After a long rushing touch-down from Buckeye Curtis Samuel, and a snap that went too high on punter Blake Gillikin that went for a safety, Ohio State had a commanding 21-7 lead en-tering the fourth quarter .

But the Nittany Lions mount-ed a comeback.

Trace McSorley ran in a short touchdown, then Cam Brown blocked a punt which led to a Tyler Davis field goal, and all

of a sudden it was 21-17 Ohio State.

The blocked field goal gave Penn State the lead and the defense stopped Ohio State, including a fourth down sack to preserve the win.

The Nittany Lions went from a huge home underdog with a very little chance of winning to a team that pulled off one of the biggest wins in program history, upsetting the No. 2 team in the country.

As a large portion of the 107,000 fans in attendance stormed the field, spreading the whiteout all across Beaver Sta-dium, it was obvious that Penn State was back.

The Nittany Lions ended the season 11-3, claiming a Big Ten Championship over Wisconsin, before losing to USC in a classic in the Rose Bowl.
