Ohio coroner’s offices face shortage amid spike in cases COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Coroner’s offices in central Ohio are struggling to fill positions as caseloads increase and more doctors seek employment in the private sector. The number of cases Ohio coroners and medical examiners are handling has increased amid a drug-overdose crisis sweeping the state, The Columbus Dispatch reported. Besides homicides and questionable child deaths, Franklin County’s office does autopsies on about 95 percent of overdose cases, said Coroner Anahi Ortiz. Examiners sometimes rely on toxicology reports and external examinations if an overdose cause is obvious. The office performed 1,778 autopsies in 2015, up from 1,420 in 2014. That number is expected to jump to 1,854 cases in 2016. Records show the office has four forensic pathologists and one chief deputy coroner. The newspaper reports that offices in Ohio are facing the risk of losing national accreditation due to a stagnant pool of pathologists and increasing cases. Officials say losing accreditation could damage their credibility when testifying in court. Too few pathologists also means that family members must wait longer for death certificates, potentially delaying insurance payouts. “We have to decide which (cases) we are going to autopsy and which we’re not,” Ortiz said. Dr. David Fowler, president of the National Association of Medical Examiners, said that when examiners start performing more than 250 cases a year per pathologist, the error rate starts to go up. Ohio coroners and medical examiners are considering alternatives and ways to limit the cases in which they conduct a full autopsy, such as relying on CT scans rather than full autopsies in some cases. Ortiz said county commissioners have agreed to increase the base pay for a new pathologist from $144,000 a year to $164,000. At least two of the county’s pathologists are nearing retirement, she said. “This is a recruitment, retention issue,” Fowler said. “You have to remain competitive.” INDEX Obituary: 2 News: 3 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 Comics: 7 Classifieds: 8 Sports: 9 BEND AREA — Festivals and frights are awaiting Bend Area residents in October as both New Haven and Mason have announced events. “Oktoberfest” will be held in the Town of New Haven on Oct. 1 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It will be located on the grounds of the New Haven Library.

Members “termed the 100th birthday celebration a success,” with more than 60 people attending. A chicken and noodle dinner was served along with a decorated birthday cake donated by Sara Cullums, an 80-year member of Hemlock Grove. The post lost all their records in a 1980 fire, which hindered plans for the upcoming anniversary. Chapter historian Barb Fry said they have “searched far and wide” to piece some of their chapter history back together. Grange member Kim Romine took those collected artifacts and turned the upstairs area of the Grange Hall into a treasure trove of information dating back to 1916, and a quilt belonging to Rosalie Johnson. Downstairs, Rosalie Story, Master of Hemlock Grange, welcomed everyone and introduced Ohio’s State Master Robert White and his wife, Ohio State Deaf Actives Director Judy Carrick, and Opal Dyer, Meigs County deputy and state director of junior actives. Asa Houchin, state male ambassador, and Olivia Yost, female ambassador, were present at the celebration. along with members of other area Granges, including Racine and Star Grange of Meigs County and Athens County Grange. As the birthday cel- Courtesy photo Hemlock Grove Grange has always been a part of the Meigs County Fair. Pictured is their booth during the 2016 fair, where they exhibited samples of their work through the year. ebration came to a close, everyone agreed all they enjoyed themselves and were proud of their 100year history. The Grange charter places a great value on family units, agriculture lifestyles and working class unity as instrumental to community quality of life. The ability to disagree respectfully and work toward shared goals is highly emphasized in the proletarian ethic. By conglomerating the interests of the rural areas that were so critical to the nation as a whole, these “Patrons of Husbandry” hoped to give some voice and power to the people or agricultural America. Farming identity has long been central to the economics and values of southern Ohio, perhaps the reason for Hemlock Grove’s longevity. A member who exemplified this was Roy Holter, a 72-year active member, who passed away in July. At Hemlock Grove’s July meeting, the charter was draped in his honor. The 150th National Grange annual convention will take place Nov. 15-19, 2016 in Herndon, Va., where they will continue their work of bringing small town, nonpartisan values to the national debate.

SUNBURY, Ohio (AP) — The father of a veteran who died in combat after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is working with others to secure permanent funding for an Ohio memorial dedicated to fallen soldiers. Jim Bernholtz and other Gold Star parents and veterans groups helped create the Ohio Fallen Heroes Memorial in Sunbury in 2005 to remember those who’ve died since 9/11. Bernholtz and others worry that the privately funded site near the village’s town square could fall into disrepair, The Columbus Dispatch reported. “We are all going to pass away,” said Bernholtz, whose son, Eric, was killed in Iraq in 2005. “And who is going to take care of all of the properties?” Bernholtz, the president of Ohio Fallen Heroes Memorial, is seeking support, including grant funds from Delaware County commissioners, to set up a legacy trust fund.

Overcoming Your Credit Card Crisis The battle with credit card debt can be a constant struggle against high interest rates and monthly payments that never seem to make a dent in what you owe. How is it possible to make monthly credit card payments and never get anywhere? This problem is caused by high interest rates that eats up most of your payments. Even though you make your minimum payment, you don’t make much headway eliminating the debt. Luckily, there’s a way to find debt relief without incurring more debts. Using certified credit counseling like Consolidated Credit, you can get professional advice to identify the right solution for your needs. A certified credit counselor can review your options to see which solution is best for you. You can qualify for lower interest rates or even eliminate them, while consolidating your credit card debt into one easy payment to get you out of debt faster. Every financial institution differs, but most people see a reduction of total payments by up to 30-50% as they pay off debt faster. Freedom from debt can become a reality!

Moniz said the low cost of natural gas has dealt coal the biggest competitive blow in energy production. A legal challenge that has temporarily stalled enactment of carbon limits should be decided in the first half of 2017, Moniz said If the standards are upheld in court, he said they would begin being implemented in stages in 2022. The energy secretary also toured Longview Power’s coalfired plant Monday with Man- chin and Republican U.S. Rep. David McKinley, who invited Moniz to the Mountain State. Longview CEO Jeff Keffer said the plant uses up to 20 percent natural gas and is the most efficient coal-fired unit in North America. But he acknowledged that the plant would need to make upgrades and depend on a 50-50 mix of gas and coal to come close to meeting the federal carbon limits. “We’re just trying to find a pathway forward,” said Democratic U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, who opposes the carbon limits. “We have six counties in the state of West Virginia that are in a depression. It’s not a recession, it’s a depression.” Keffer said it may be more cost-effective to offer tax incentives to build new plants that can use half natural gas and half coal, rather than try to retrofit older plants. Moniz said he’s interested in Keffer providing him a worksheet on the concept. Moniz said a top priority of the administration is getting Congress to pass several billion dollars of tax credits for building facilities and for projects that trap carbon from coal-fired plants. “Getting the tax credits this year would be a very, very big deal,” Moniz said. “And having the tax credits in place in a trajectory for carbon reduction, in my view, is what the investment community needs.” Marshall fraternity goes homeless for Huntington mission population for the ATO Goes Homeless event.

Somedays I’d pay someone to just wrestle me to the ground like Dad used to and tickle me until I couldn’t breathe. “Gitch your gilligopper,” he’d say, his fingers tap-dancing across my neck. I didn’t know what a gilligopper was. Still don’t.

I’m happy. I smile at strangers columnist and chuckle at jokes over dinner, but sometimes I crave that Buddha-belly laugh — that rush of endorphins that makes me feel like I just scaled Mount Everest — victorious. I’ve found that laughter is contagious, like vomiting — you’re almost compelled to join the one doing it whether you want to or not. One day a while back, my mom and sister and I got tickled while chatting at a coffee shop. Our giggles escalated into full-scale airgasping which enticed several glances from other patrons. One lady actually walked up to our table and said, “Now, you just don’t hear people laugh like that anymore.” We could only nod as we dabbed our eyes with Even back in high school, napkins and attempta good laugh could turn ed to compose oura day in the doldrums because of a failed grade selves.

To me, we should laugh every chance we can, not at other’s misfortunes, but at the silliness that strikes a chord with our whimsical side. Being embarrassed by our laughter is like being embarrassed because we had to blow our nose — it’s as if we are proposing we aren’t human. Or, just maybe, it’s the fear of letting go — of being out of control for a few glorious moments in which all we can do is permit the rumble of laughter to echo through our trembling bodies. I contend, we need not hold back our laughs. Laughter is an amazing gift that can turn the saddest moment into joy. Even back in high school, a good laugh could turn a day in the doldrums because of a failed grade or a boyfriend breakup, into a bearable, if not pleasant, experience. In drama, I’d slather clown white on a fellow student’s face, and wait in anticipation for the audience’s reaction to the mime. The spontaneity of their laughter relayed whether they were really digging the show or not. During the shows when the audience was riveted, there was electric in the air, the actors fed off the outbursts and the whole theater vibrated with jovial waves long after the encore, but when the responses were more like the canned ones from a 1980s sitcom, the performance fell flat. The best laughter isn’t force, isn’t maimed to a “That’s funny,” statement. It bursts from the throat like a breeched damn, spewing forth like a waterfall until every cell tingles with bliss. For me this happens much less often than I’d like, but when it does, it’s so spectacular that I wonder how I can make it happen again. Thing is, it’s random events that usually trigger my deepest laughs — like my husband delicately missing the fly he’s trying to catch with his fingers, like Mr. Miyagi in “Karate Kid,” or me finding myself flat on my back from slipping on a patch of ice — that is assuming, of course, my leg’s not broken. I wish I could stage a humorous event that would light up my insides. Until then, I’ll enjoy those few moments when tears run over my open mouth that’s gasping for air. One ocean-hearty laugh is worth a hundred shallow dips in the creek of stifled emotions. May the gilligopper hunter be on the hunt for you, too.

THEIR VIEW View from the end of ‘Rebel Road’ He is a wide eyed, freshly minted rebel, this dear young sinner that I am burdened for and praying over. Like the Prodigal Son of Luke 15, he has become enamored of the bright lights and partying sounds of the far country, and is just now beginning to make his way down Rebel Road heading that direction. He despises the “restrictiveness” of the father’s house and sees only good times ahead as he leaves it. I have seen many like him through the years. The beginning of Rebel Road is most always a pleasant, easy path. The wind is at one’s back, the sun is shining, and the face of the one walking that way is smiling from ear to ear. And for a while longer, usually, every indication is that the way and the destination will forever be pleasant. The devil, you see, is good at his job. And he knows that if the one starting on that road could see the end results of that decision, he would likely run back to safety as fast as his legs could carry him. And thus it is that, the one thing that could pre- a ruined family, a vent that journey venereal disease, from ever beginand a blot on his ning, is kept carename that remains fully hidden. to this day.

David ended way of transgressors is up a broken man, with hard.” Every budding rebellious sinner should do themselves a favor. Go find someone who has been sold out to sin for a very long time, and see how that has worked out for them. Go check out what things look like at the end of Rebel Road, once the bright lights have faded and the parties died down. It is normally not a very pretty sight. As a pastor, I have seen the end of both roads many times. I have seen sinners grow old before their time, experience the brokenness of sin, and look back on a life of loss with bitter regret. I have also been at the bedside of dying saints, with family gathered around, smiling and singing a hymn and then calmly slipping into the very presence of Jesus. It is a stark, stark contrast. Are you looking with longing at Rebel Road? Check out what things look like at the end of it before you start that way.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 13, 1971, a four-day inmates’ rebellion at the Attica Correctional Facility in western New York ended as police and guards stormed the prison; the ordeal and final assault claimed the lives of 32 inmates and 11 hostages. “Injustice, poverty, slavery, ignorance — these may be cured by reform or revolution. But men do not live only by fighting evils. They live by positive goals, individual and collective, a vast variety of them, seldom predictable, at times incompatible.” — Isaiah Berlin, Russian-born British philosopher (19091997). On this date: In 1515, during the Italian Wars, the two-day Battle of Marignano began as forces led by Francis I of France clashed with troops from the Old Swiss Confederacy. (The French succeeded in forcing the Swiss to abandon nearby Milan.) In 1788, the Congress of the Confederation authorized the first national election, and declared New York City the temporary national capital. In 1814, during the War of 1812, British naval forces began bombarding Fort McHenry in Baltimore but were driven back by American defenders in a battle that lasted until the following morning. In 1911, the song “Oh, You Beautiful Doll,” a romantic rag by Nat D. Ayer and Seymour Brown, was first published by Jerome H. Remick & Co. In 1923, Miguel Primo de Rivera, the captain general of Catalonia, seized power in Spain. In 1948, Republican Margaret Chase Smith of Maine was elected to the U.S. Senate; she became the first woman to serve in both houses of Congress. In 1959, Elvis Presley first met his future wife, 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu, while stationed in West Germany with the U.S. Army. (They married in 1967, but divorced in 1973.) In 1962, Mississippi Gov. Ross Barnett rejected the U.S. Supreme Court’s order for the University of Mississippi to admit James Meredith, a black student, declaring in a televised address, “We will not drink from the cup of genocide.” In 1989, Fay Vincent was elected commissioner of Major League Baseball, succeeding the late A. Bartlett Giamatti (juhMAH’-tee). �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel From page 1 Admission is $5 and concessions will be sold.

And I don’t know if the next generation will be as interested,” Kruse said. 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 62° 82° Temperature The AccuWeather.com Asthma Index combines the effects of current air quality, pollen counts, wind, temperature, dew point, barometric pressure, and changes from past weather conditions to provide a scale showing the overall probability and severity of an asthma attack.

Hughes said Garrett told the officers he had just shot his ex-wife, 41-year-old Traci Fletcher-Garrett, and asked police to shoot him. Hughes said Garrett then shot himself. The shooting prompted the temporary lockdown of a nearby school.

But Steve Fought still has to go through a primary election Tuesday to officially replace former Democratic Party congressional candidate Corey Foister. Foister abruptly withdrew from the race. State laws required the special primary. Fought will become the nominee when the first certified voter casts his or her ballot for the Mercer County native.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Columbus City Council is expected to approve a $780,000 lawsuit settlement payment to the family of a girl who was shot in the leg when a policeman fired. Then-4-year-old Ava Ellis was accidentally shot in June 2015 at a home in Whitehall. Police say the girl’s mother had cut herself on glass, and another relative had flagged down the officer for help. Police say the officer fired at a charging dog, but Ava’s family says the roughly 40-pound bulldog mix was retreating inside from the porch and the officer fired unnecessarily. Ava’s parents and their attorney accused the policeman of acting recklessly with children nearby on the porch. The family says the bullet broke Ava’s leg, and she had to have surgery.

Earlier Monday, a main opposition group linked to several small, moderate rebel factions said they will deal “positively” with the truce brokered by the U.S. and Russia. The Syrian National Coalition said that any effort that aims to end the suffering of the people “is a step in the right direction and we will deal with it positively.” NEWS FROM AROUND THE MOUNTAIN STATE Vietnam War vet gets lost lighter back WESTOVER, W.Va. (AP) — A Vietnam War veteran has his lighter back after losing it almost 50 years ago. Mark Anthony Krofek tells The Dominion Post that he lost the lighter in 1967 while serving as an Army infantryman in the war. The Purple Heart recipient had “When I die I will go to heaven cause I spent my time in hell” engraved on the back of it, along with the years he was in Vietnam. His name and unit information is on the front. The lighter became part of a collection of Zippo lighters owned by a man in Texas. The man’s daughter-in-law found Krofek through Facebook and asked if he wanted the lighter back. Krofek received it in the mail. He plans to give the lighter to his grandson someday. Former agency director faces fraud charges WELCH, W.Va. (AP) — A former director of a Welsh-area human services agency is facing possible time behind bars after being arrested on embezzlement and fraudulent schemes charges. The Bluefield Daily Telegraph reports the West Virginia State Police say in a statement that 42-year-old Shanita Evans was charged Friday with fraudu- lent use of an access device, embezzlement, fraudulent schemes and obtaining under false pretenses. Authorities believe the alleged offenses occurred while Evans was the executive director of Stop Abusive Family Environments from July 2012 to February 2016. No sum of money was released. State police began investigating after being contacted by SAFE board members. If convicted, each of the charges carries a possible sentence of one to 10 years in prison. Firefighters fear forestry cutbacks BECKLEY, W.Va. (AP) — Southern West Virginia firefighters are worried about the effects of recent forestry cuts as the forest fire season looms. The Register-Herald reports that nearly 40 foresters lost their jobs earlier this summer as a result of a $1.7 million budget shortfall for fiscal year 2017. Chris White, head of fire prevention and suppression for Region 2, which oversees the southern region of the state, says if early indicators of dryness are true, the fire season, which starts Oct. 1, could be devastating. White says his firefighting team was cut by nearly a third when the Division of Forestry reduced its staffing levels. During the forest fire season last year, firefighters battled 648 blazes that burned more than 16,700 acres of forest lands, the most acreage burned since 2010. Hazard mitigation meetings planned CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia officials are planning several meetings in flood-ravaged areas about grants to help homeowners reduce risks 60678663 during future disasters. The Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management says the first meeting about the federal Hazard Mitigation Grant Program will take place Tuesday behind Clendenin City Hall. Other meetings will be Wednesday at Elkview Middle School; Thursday at Alderson City Hall; Sept. 19 at Geary Elementary/Middle School; Sept. 27 at Marlinton Town Hall; and Sept. 28 at Alumni Hall in Richwood. A meeting for White Sulphur Springs, Ronceverte and Caldwell will take place Oct. 3 at a location to be determined. Officials also haven’t announced the location for an Oct. 4 meeting for Rupert, Charmco and Rainelle. The June 23 floods killed 23 and destroyed homes, businesses and infrastructure. Convicted killer seeks new trial CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia judge hasn’t decided whether a man convicted of killing a fast-food restaurant manager nearly 30 years ago will get a new trial because a discredited former state police forensic serologist testified at his first trial. The Charleston-Gazette Mail reports Phillip Ward was sentenced to life in prison in 1988 for the murder of Carol Carter. Then-serologist Fred Zain testified at Ward’s 1987 trial. The state Supreme Court later discredited his work after finding he gave false testimony for over 10 years about DNA evidence found at crime scenes. Last year, Ward’s lawyer, Connor Robertson asked Cabell County Circuit Judge Alfred Ferguson to throw out Ward’s conviction and grant him a new trial because of Zain’s false testimony.

As part of the 2016 Dragons’ Run by the River, three Blue Angels amassed top-10 finishes, leading Gallia Academy to a second-place finish of 73 points — and trailing only host Fairland with 40 points for the team title. For the Blue Devils, five runners placed between 10th and 45th out of 132 total, as GAHS finished fifth out of 11 teams with 119 points. Both Gallia Academy clubs ran against primarily Ohio Valley Conference foes, and a few strong West Virginia schools.

Marshall thunders past Bears, 62-0 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — A thunderous start to the 2016 campaign. Marshall forced four turnovers, racked up 530 yards of total offense and had eight different players score touchdowns in its season opener Saturday while rolling to a 62-0 non-conference victory over visiting Morgan State at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. The Thundering Herd (1-0) fumbled on their opening drive of the game, but the hosts responded by scoring on seven of their next eight possessions while establishing a 56-0 advantage six minutes into the third period. Marshall quarterback Chase Litton accounted for six touchdowns through the air while completing 13-of-16 passes for 309 yards, all of which came in the first half of play. Litton — a sophomore — had a trio of TD passes in both the first and second periods, which helped the Green and White claim a 49-0 halftime advantage. Wideout Michael Clark started the scoring with 21-yard catch on a fade route to the left corner of the end zone. Clark’s grab completed an 11-play, 72-yard drive for a 7-0 edge with 6:10 left in the opening frame. Tight end Ryan Yurachek followed with a 58-yard TD catch on Marshall’s next possession, which lasted only two plays and covered 60 yards. Yurachek’s score made it a 14-0 contest with 3:24 left. Clark hauled in his second TD catch with 2:29 left in the first stanza as the 6-foot-7 redshirt sophomore slipped past three defenders for a 35-yard grab. Litton’s scoring pass to Clark was the only play of that series and gave the hosts a 21-0 lead after one quarter of action. Deon-Tay McManus capped a seven-play, 73-yard drive by hauling in a jump ball over two defenders for a 31-yard touchdown, making it a 28-0 contest with 13:52 left in the half. Marshall’s defense got in on the action on the ensuing MSU drive as George Davis returned a fumble 95 yards to paydirt — allowing the Herd to secure a 35-0 cushion with 6:13 left until halftime. Justin Hunt followed up the Davis score by capping a four-play, 65-yard drive that resulted in a 44-yard TD on a deep ball catch. Hunt’s grab at the 4:29 mark gave MU a comfortable 42-0 cushion. The Herd completed their first half scoring barrage with a 10-yard scoring pass from Litton to Emanuel Boyd with 47 seconds remaining, which completed a four-play, 70-yard drive for a 49-point advantage. Marshall redshirt sophomore Michael Clark hauls in 35-yard touchdown pass during the first quarter of Saturday’s non-conference football contest against Morgan State in Huntington, W.Va. A heavy rain started at the end of halftime, which led to harsh playing conditions for the reserves that finished out the game. Tony Pittman tacked on a nine-yard TD run on Marshall’s first possession of the second half, making it a 56-0 contest with eight minutes left in the third. Ty Tyler completed the scoring with a 20-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown with three second left in the third canto. With the win, Marshall picked up its eighth straight home victory and are now 19-1 in its previous 20 contests at Edwards Stadium. The Herd also won their sixth straight home opener under seventh-year head coach Doc Holliday. After finishing plus3 in turnover differential and allowing only 47 rushing yards in the triumph, Holliday was pleased — for the most part — with the evening went. He also noted that more of the same effort will be needed next week when Akron comes to town for a noon kickoff. “I think we played the way we should have played. I thought it was pretty clean, I was disappointed in the turnover on the opening drive. Other than that we took care of the ball which was important,” Holliday said. “In the second half there were a couple things that we have to clean up with the kicking game, a lot of that was some young kids in there who didn’t get their jobs done. We have a great challenge next week against Akron, they have some good players and Terry (Bowden) will have them well coached, so we will be ready go.” Morgan State had possession of the ball nine times in the first half. After coming up short on a fourth down See MARSHALL | 10 MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Skyler Howard wouldn’t let strained ribs hold him back. Howard tied a career high with five touchdown passes, leading West Virginia to a 38-21 win over Youngstown State on Saturday. Howard, who hurt his ribs a week ago in a win over Missouri and was limited in practice leading up to this game, completed 20 of 33 passes for 389 yards. “You’re going to be sore after game one, after not being hit all spring, all camp,” Howard said. “It’s nothing that’s not expected. You’ve got to fight through it, but it was fine today. I felt pretty good out there.” Once he got going, Howard made it look simple. On three of his scoring throws, Youngstown State’s secondary was caught helping with run support, and Howard threw the ball far downfield and let his receivers get to the ball, often in double coverage. Howard matched the five TDs he threw in a Cactus Bowl win over Arizona State in December. “He’s always thrown a good deep ball,” said West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen. The Mountaineers (2-0) broke the game open with 24 unanswered points after falling behind 14-7 early in the second quarter. Youngstown State (1-1) appeared to wear down in the second half on a hot day. The Penguins punted on six straight possessions spanning both halves, allowing West Virginia to take control. West Virginia’s defense repeatedly forced Youngstown State quarterback Ricky Davis out of the pocket and into hurried throws or scrambling to run up field. “Our guys didn’t panic when it was close,” Holgorsen said. Howard had TD pass plays of 54 and 57 yards to Shelton Gibson, 53 yards to Ka’Raun White, 11 to Daikiel Shorts and 21 yards to Kennedy McKoy. Shorts’ thirdquarter catch in the left corner of the end zone was set up by Gibson’s See WVU | 10 Buckeyes roll past Tulsa, 48-3 By Jim Naveau jnaveau@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State gave the fans what they came out to see after a lot them decided they’d seen enough. A weather delay of 50 minutes following a 20-minute halftime left Ohio Stadium at least half empty by the time No. 4 OSU delivered the dominating performance that was expected in the second half after a sluggish first half in a 48-3 win over Tulsa on Saturday. Rain began to fall late in the first half and lightning was spotted several times, which required the delay to be extended. To be fair, Ohio State’s defense dominated often in both halves. In fact, it was the best offense Ohio State had in the first half when it returned two interceptions for touchdowns in the final 3:02 of the second quarter and set up a field goal with another earlier pick. But in the second half, the offense caught up with the defense and scored on two long drives of 84 yards and 72 yards and abbreviated marches of 46 yards and 28 yards. Ohio State got 259 of its 417 yards total offense in the sec- ond half. Quarterback J.T. Barrett completed 14 of 22 for 149 yards in the game. Tailback Mike Weber had 92 yards on 17 carries and Curtis Samuel rushed for 78 yards on 8 carries and caught 5 passes for 62 yards. “We came out and played our best football, at least on offense,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said about the rain-delayed second half. “But to sit in a locker room for an hour and a half, that’s a good sign of some maturity. I saw some maturity in the locker room. I saw some disappointment with the way we played offensively in the first half,” he said. Cornerback Marshon Lattimore said the Buckeyes were “getting coached the whole time” during the 70 minutes they spent in the locker room. Lattimore and Malik Hooker broke open what had been an unexpectedly close game with interceptions that became touchdowns late in the first half. With Ohio State leading just 6-3, Hooker got his third interception of the season when he stepped in front of a pass by Tulsa quarterback Dane Evans and took it to the end zone with 3:02 left in the first half. See BUCKEYES | 10 �SPORTS 10 Tuesday, September 13, 2016 Marshall From page 9 play on their opening drive, the Bears followed with three consecutive punts, a fumble, an interception and another punt before having the half end on their final drive. MSU mustered 111 yards of total offense in each half and produced seven of its 11 first downs after the intermission. Marshall, conversely, produced 109 rushing yards in the first half and added 108 yards on the ground in the second half. The hosts also amassed only four passing yards after the break. The Herd claimed a 21-11 overall edge in first downs and were flagged eight times for 70 yards. The guests were penalized eight times as well for 66 yards. Pittman led the MU ground attack with 85 yards on nine carries, followed by Keion Davis with 68 yards on a dozen totes. Boyd paced the wideouts with three grabs for 58 yards, while Hunt and Clark both hauled in two passes apiece for 57 and 56 yards, respectively. Amoreto Curraj was 8-of-9 on PAT kicks, which included a miss on his final attempt late in Buckeyes From page 9 Lattimore, who had two interceptions in the game, picked off a pass by Evans and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown 33 seconds before halftime for a 20-7 lead. For most of the first half, Ohio State’s offense looked almost nothing like the nearly unstoppable machine it was when it rolled up a schoolrecord 776 yards in a 77-10 win over Bowling Green a week earlier. The Buckeyes started the game by settling for a 29-yard field goal by Tyler Durbin and a 3-0 lead after Lattimore intercepted quarterback Dane Evans at the Golden Hurricane’s 16-yard line on the first offensive play of the game. The first three plays after that interception were a two-yard run by tailback Mike Weber, a two-yard run by quarterback J.T. Barrett and an incomplete pass into the end zone. OSU’s second pos- the third quarter. Aaron Dopson joined Davis and Tyler with a fumble recovery, while Corey Neely added a first half interception. Defensively, MU produced three sacks and nine tackles for loss. Tyler, Ryan Bee and Channing Hames each had a sack for the Herd. Eric Harrell led Morgan State with 27 rushing yards on four carries and Orlando Johnson had 20 yards on eight attempts. DeAndre Harris was 9-of-16 passing for 91 yards. Chris Andrews went 6-of-17 passing for 84 yards and a pick. Thomas Martin led the MSU wideouts with four grabs for 72 yards, while Ladarious Spearman had four catches for 37 yards. Greg Gibson recovered a first quarter fumble for the guests. Marshall’s last shutout win came on November 14 of last year during a 52-0 decision over visiting Florida International. The 62 points were also the most scored by Marshall since November 28, 2014, which came during a 67-66 overtime loss to Western Kentucky. That outcome was also the last time that MU suffered a loss at Edwards Stadium.

Tulsa tied the game at 3-3 on a 37-yard field goal with 3:22 left in the first quarter. By the end of the first quarter, Ohio State had totaled only 40 yards. OSU’s offense picked up the pace somewhat in the second quarter, but a 22-yard field goal by Durbin early in the quarter was the only Buckeyes score that was not preceded by a turnover or the direct result of a turnover in the first half. “Good teams pick each other up,” Meyer said about the heavy lifting the defense did in the first half. Ohio State raised its record to 2-0 with the win. Tulsa dropped to 1-1. Next up for Ohio State is a trip to Oklahoma this Saturday, which Meyer referred to as “the challenge of challenges.” Reach Jim Naveau at 567242-0414 or on Twitter at @ Lima_Naveau. WVU Daily Sentinel Early lead lifts Ohio past Kansas, 37-21 LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Ohio’s Greg Windham played like a fifth-year senior rather than a quarterback making just his second career start, though Kansas certainly did everything it could to help him out. Two fumbled punt returns. Inopportune penalties. An interception. A safety. The result was a 37-21 victory for the Bobcats on Saturday that went a long way toward erasing the memory of a tripleovertime defeat to Texas State in their season opener. “I’m proud of our guys the way they came back,” Ohio coach Frank Solich said. “I thought it showed our resolve. They practiced well this past week. I think the signs were there that they were going to have an oppor- tunity to play well, and to play to our potential hopefully.” Windham threw for 167 yards and a touchdown while running for 146 and another score. Dorian Brown added 122 yards rushing, Louie Zervos was 5-for-5 on field goals, and Papi White and Mason Morgan scored against a Kansas team coming off its first win in more than a year. LaQuvionte Gonzalez had a 99-yard kickoff return for the Jayhawks (1-1), but he also muffed those two punt returns. Montell Cozart threw for 198 yards and hit Steven Sims Jr. for a pair of TDs, but the dualthreat quarterback also struggled to deal with constant pressure. “Offensively we have to do a better job early in the game to help our defense out,” Kansas coach David Beaty said. “The defense, every time I looked up, they were out there.” The Bobcats blitzed to a 25-0 lead and led 28-7 after a first half as lopsided as they come: They had a 359-21 edge in offense, 18 first downs to one, and controlled the ball for 22 minutes, 56 seconds. “We just couldn’t get off the field,” Jayhawks safety Fish Smithson said. “It doesn’t matter how long we were out there, we still have to get stops.” The Jayhawks still managed to make it interesting. Cozart connected with Sims on a 74-yard touchdown pass on the second play out of the locker room, and then hit Sims from 22 yards out a few minutes later to trim a 28-7 halftime lead to 31-21. But an Ohio defense that allowed 630 yards to Texas State held the Jayhawks to three straight punts, deflating a crowd that began to dwindle. And Windham showed the poise of a fifth-year senior rather than a quarterback making his second career start, scrambling for a crucial first down midway through the fourth quarter that kept the clock moving and the Kansas offense on the sideline. “I feel like we have a run game,” Solich said, “and if you have a run game you have a chance.” The outcome at Memorial Stadium was nothing new for Solich, who went 6-0 against the Jayhawks when he was with former Big 12 rival Nebraska.
