Colton Jeffries|OVP Sports Marshall running back Knowledge McDaniel stiff arms a NCCU defenseman during Saturday’s home opening football game at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, W.Va. Game summary The Thundering Herd (2-0) took a couple of drives to get the scoring going, but quarterback Grant Wells kept the ball on a 10-yard run to put the home team on the board nearly six minutes into the first quarter. The Green and White didn’t find the endzone again until the second quarter. However, the second was the most productive for the Herd offense. The scoring started when Wells found Talik Keaton on a 14-yard pass a minute into the quarter, followed by a threeyard throw to Rasheen Ali six minutes later. As time ticked towards halftime, the Eagles got on the scoreboard, capitailizing on a Marshall turnover in their own redzone to get a four-yard pass into the endzone. Facing a possible 14-point swing with the Eagles getting first possession in the second half, the Thundering Herd needed their passes to start connecting. Wells had been trying the deep ball all game with little success, but Wells connected with Keaton with a 46-yard bomb with two minutes to go to give the Herd their fourth touchdown of the game. Add in a 27-yard field goal from kicker Andrew Sanders and Marshall headed into the locker rooms up 30-7.

Duquesne shocks Bobcats, 28-26 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com ATHENS, Ohio — All the fans flocked to Peden Stadium expecting to witness a first. It just wasn’t the first that a good majority of those people came to see. Visiting Duquesne — a Football Championship Subdivision program — claimed its first-ever win over a Football Bowl Subdivision team on Saturday afternoon with a shocking 28-26 victory over the Ohio Bobcats in a Week 2 non-conference contest in Athens County. The Dukes (1-1) — who moved from Division III to their current FCS status in the fall of 1993 — found themselves in a 13-3 hole less than five minutes into regulation, but the Red and Blue reeled off 22 consecutive points from there to secure a 25-13 advantage just five seconds into the fourth quarter. The Bobcats (0-2) — who are still looking for their first win under firstyear coach Tim Albin — rallied with 13 of the final 16 points over the last 10:45 of regulation, but the hosts failed to convert an all-important 2-point conversion that left the contest at 28-26 with nine seconds left. OU also failed on its bid to recover an onside kick in the ensuing moments, allowing Duquesne to simply take a knee on its final offensive snap of the game to lock up the 2-point triumph. The Dukes easily won the time of possession battle after running offensive plays for 41:02 of the 60-minute affair. DU also outgained the Green and White by a 362-307 margin that included a 168-139 advantage on the ground. Duquesne was 7-of-16 on third down conversions and also went 2-for2 on fourth down tries. The Bobcats, conversely, were 1-of-7 on third down plays and went 1-for-1 on fourth down. Ohio needed just 13 seconds to secure a quick 6-0 advantage as De’Montre Tuggle returned the opening kickoff 83 yards for a touchdown. Stephen Johnson’s extra point attempt, however, sailed wide. Brian Bruzdewicz cut the DU deficit in half with a 23-yard field goal at the 10:56 mark of the first, but a 15-yard Tuggle run — and a Johnson PAT boot — put Ohio ahead by a 13-3 count with 10:25 left in the opening period. Bruzdewicz added a 38-yard field goal with 4:19 left in the first to trim the deficit down to 13-6, then the Dukes recorded a safety as O’Shaan Allison was tackled in the end zone on the final play of the first quarter — making it a 13-8 contest. Bruzdewicz nailed a 21-yard field goal with 49 seconds left in the second quarter to make it a 13-11 Ohio lead at the break. The Dukes — who ran 42 of the 61 offensive plays in the first half — strung together a 10-play, 75-yard drive that resulted in an 18-13 lead when Darius Perrantes scored on a 1-yard run with 9:41 left in the third frame. Perrantes then found Joey Isabella with a 3-yard touchdown pass five seconds into the fourth quarter, allowing Duquesne to take its largest lead of the game at 25-13. Quarterback Kurtis Rourke scored on a 2-yard scamper with 10:45 left in regulation for a 25-20 deficit, but a 27-yard Bruzdewicz field goal with 2:46 remaining increased the DU lead back out to 28-20. Ty Walton hauled in a 3-yard pass from Rourke with nine seconds left in the game, but Rourke’s 2-point conversion pass attempt ultimately went incomplete and allowed the Dukes to maintain a 28-26 cushion. Duquesne went a perfect 6-for-6 in red zone opportunities and converted all six of its kicking attempts, including four field goals and a pair of extra points. The Bobcats, on the other hand, were 3-of-4 inside the red zone and missed both an extra point and a 30-yard field goal with 9:06 left in the first half. DU claimed a 26-15 advantage in first downs and was also flagged eight times for 46 yards, while Ohio was penalized a dozen times for 112 yards. Neither team had a turnover in the contest. Allison led the Bobcats with 76 rushing yards on 12 attempts, while Rourke completed 14-of22 passes for 168 yards and one score. Walton led the hosts with six catches for 44 yards and Cameron Odom hauled in three passes for 74 yards. Jett Elad and Bryce Houston paced the OU defense with 11 and 10 tackles, respectively. Garrett Owens led the DU rushing attack with 82 yards on 23 carries, while Perrantes completed 23-of-34 passes for 194 yards and a score. Isabella hauled in eight passes for 45 yards. Jeremiah Josephs paced the Dukes defensively with eight tackles. Duquesne had previously lost its four matchups against FBS opponents by 10-or-more points on all four occasions. OU hadn’t lost to an FCS opponent since suffering a 31-0 setback to Northeastern back on Sept. 7, 2002. The Bobcats haven’t started a season with consecutive losses since dropping four straight at the beginning of the 2008 campaign. Ohio finished 4-8 that fall … the last season in which Ohio posted a losing record.

Canady also stated there have also been a few fully vaccinated patients with COVID but “they are the exception, not the rule.” The difference between previous surges of the virus and this latest round, in regards to area patients, is the fact “it is affecting young people,” Canady said. “They are younger, sicker and requiring more care compared to the high numbers we had last winter,” Canady said, explaining the biggest factor is those patients are generally unvaccinated. “This has been an issue of the unvaccinated since the beginning [of the pandemic],” he said.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley told Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army that the United States would not strike. One call took place on Oct. 30, 2020, four days before the election that defeated Trump. The second call was on Jan. 8, 2021, just two days after the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by supporters of the outgoing chief executive. Milley went so far as to promise Li that he would warn his counterpart in the event of a U.S. attack, according to the book “Peril,” written by Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. “General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be okay,” Milley told him in the first call, according to the book. “We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you.” “If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise,” Milley reportedly said. Selections from the book, which is set to be released next week, were first reported by The Washington Post on Tuesday.

But the book reports that Li wasn’t as easily assuaged, even after Milley promised him, “We are 100 percent steady. Everything’s fine. But democracy can be sloppy sometimes.” Milley believed the president suffered a mental decline after the election, agreeing with a view shared by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a phone call they had Jan. 8, according to officials. Pelosi had previously said she spoke to Milley that day about “available precautions” to prevent Trump from initiating military action or ordering a nuclear launch, and she told colleagues she was given unspecified assurances that there were longstanding safeguards in place.

More than a halfmillion homes and businesses had lost power in Texas, but that number dropped to about 375,000 by midday Tuesday, according to the website poweroutage.us that tracks utility reports. Most of those outages were caused by powerful winds as the storm moved through overnight, utility officials said. Across Louisiana, about 100,000 customers remained without power Tuesday midday. Nicholas brought rain to the same area of Texas that was hit hard by Harvey, which was blamed for at least 68 deaths, including 36 in the Houston area. After Harvey, voters approved the issuance of $2.5 billion in bonds to fund flood-control projects, including the widening of bayous. The 181 projects designed to mitigate damage from future storms are at different stages of completion. McNoldy, the hurricane researcher, said Nicholas is bringing far less rain than Harvey did. “It’s not crazy amounts of rain. It isn’t anything like Hurricane Harvey kind of thing with feet of rain,” McNoldy said. Harvey not only stalled for three days over the same area, it moved a bit back into the Gulf of Mexico, allowing it to recharge with more water. Nicholas won’t do that, McNoldy said.

A single rose in a vase signifies the blood shed in sacrifice for country. The ribbon on vase represents the ribbons worn on lapels of the thousands who demand a proper accounting of comrades not among the public. The slice of lemon on a plate reminds others of the bitter fate of the missing. The salt on the plate reminds others of the tears shed as families wait for their loved ones return. The inverted glass is to remind others of those who cannot toast with their family and friends at the current time. The candles remind others of the light of hope that a soldier will return home.
