Barry Swit1.cr is a fan of West Vi rginia. Son uf. The former· Okl ahoma . coach won't be rooting for the -Mountaineers when they face the Sooners in the Fiesta Bowl. But he doc , gus h about how West Virginia's' no-huddle offe nse works. Just as Sw itze r helped transform Oklahoma's wishbone into the most prolific rushing attac k in co llege football hi storv. West Virginia thri ves iit the runbased spread fo rmation. "They've got a playboo k that works." Switzer told The Associated Press in a rece nt telephone interview rrom Norman, Okla. "I' ve loved their offense. When I saw them run it the first time, I loved it. I said this is similar to something I would do if I was college coaching again." It's a system that may be used for the last time at West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl, unless coach Rich Rodri guez' s successor retains it. Rodri gue z was hired at Michigan on Dec. 16 and isn't going to the bowl. West Virginia annually has one of the nation 's top rushing attacks. The I Jth-ranked Mountaineers ( 10-2) can earn a third straight I t-win season - a feat that can be matched only by Southern Cal and LSU - if they beat the third-ranked Sooners (I I2) on Jan. 2. Since the arrival of running back Steve Slaton and quarterback Pat White three years ago, West Virginia has averaged 274 yards rushing or better per game and ranked , no worse than fourth in the nation on the ground. Switzer remembers seeing White as a freshman two years ago, when he led the Mountaineers to a win over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. White has surpassed I ,000 yards rushing in 2006 and 2007. He had a career-high 247 yards against Syracuse last year and became the eighth player in NCAA history to throw and pass for more than 200 yards in a 2006 game against "They ' re more deceptive than the wishbone. The wishbone was an . eas t-west offense," Switzer said . "This offense he runs · is more decepti ve because you run counters, you run options off the counters. It's just totally lined up to be able to go misdirection." It took several years for Rodriguez's offense to attain its run-oriented label. It is rooted in the run-and-shoot passing gallery of Mouse Davis, who served as offensive coordinator in I 988-90 with !he Detroit Lions. Rodri guez took over at then-NAtA Glenville State in 1990 but won just one game and staned his current systern in 1991. He knew he couldn' t tnatch the size of opposing defenses, so he got innovative, going without a huddle with the quanerback in shotgun formation · and spreading out the tield. In I 993, Glenville's Jed Drenning threw for 3,593 yards and wide receiver Chris George caught 117 passes. George still holds Division !I records for single-season receiving yards ( I ,876) in I 993 and singlegame catches (23) in 1994. By 1997, Rodriguez had become Tommy Bowden's offensive coordinator at Tulane. Shaun King threw for 3,500 yards and 38 touchdowns the following season, with Rodriguez seeing him as another running back. King gained 633 yards on the ground, ranking third on the team. Rodriguez followed Bowden to Clemson, where Woody Dantzler became the first player in NCAA history to pass for more than 2,000 yards and rush for more than I ,000 in a regular season. .Rodriguez took over at West Virginia in 200L Rasheed Marshall continued Rodriguez's trend of rushing quanerbacks, compiling 861 yards in 2004. White took over in the middle of the 2005 season and has gone 25-4 as a staner and has rushed for a Big East quanerback record with 3,356 yards.

For every 1,000 gallons used over the 2,000 gallon minimum, cu stomers will pay $1 more than previ- .· ously charged . The rates are effective Jan , I, 2008. LCCD will raise its rates by 35 cents per I ,000 gallons. Rutland currently purchases a minimum of 2,000 gallons at a rate of $21.

Ohio, 2004. Two presiwere dential elections wrought with scandal and controversy over incorrectly counted ballots and broken voting machines. A report issued Dec. 21 by a team of computer science experts sharply criticizes the state's voting machines, prompting the secretary of state to recall ommend replacing machines before the next election. Will it happen again in . 2008? That is precisely what three former Ohio University graduate film students set out to. uncover with their docu- · mentary film, "How Ohio Pulled It Off." Charla Barker, Matthew Kraus and Mariana Quiroga collaborated on their film school. thesis project, producing a ·fuiHength feature on the 2004 presi~ntiaJ elec- tion, in which the last votes in the election hung on one state, Ohio, where ultimately, voters propelled President Bush to his second term. The scientists ' report, "Evaluation and Validation of Election-Related Equipment; Standards and Testing," or EVEREST, concluded that Ohio voting machines could be tampered with, are prone to crashing or locking up, and hardware security measures, such as password management, have not been used. The · secretary of state's announL-ement about replacing machines, just three months shy of a presidential primary, could have Ohio voters worried whether or not their votes count again. The film, which focuses on voting machines and election fraud in the United States, made its debut last spring and continues to have showings will throughout the state, as the country builds toward the next presidential election in 2008. In addition, the project is ' gaining. admiration and, 1110st recently, was accepted into .the Docs for Sale film market at the International Documentary Film Festi val Amsterdam (IDFA). http://www.idfa.nl/dfs_content.asp The project grew out of a class reqUirement in the university's School of Film , where students must complete a feature film thesis project. Never before had students combined their work into a group thesis project; most work mdependently to produce a short film. In their own words, the students describe the voting machine debacle: "' How Ohio Pulled It Off' takes to the streets and polling places, uncovering an alarming pattern of disenfranchisement among Ohio's urban minorities. 'How Ohio Pulled It Off' chronicles the theft of the presidency, and the public outcry that followed. Infuriated by ofticial malfeasance and partisan indifference, citizens took swift action. Multitudes protested in th.e streets, the voting rights movement was · revitalized, and the powersthat-be were forced to pay ~tt entio n. The story continues today, casting a. shadow of uncertainty on the 2008 election and beyond." Witli another presidenti.al election in. November 200,8, "How Ohio Pulled It Olf' begs the question - where will it happen next time? Find out what these students di s~ covered at http://howohiopulleditoff.com..

Multitudes protested in th.e streets, the voting rights movement was · revitalized, and the powersthat-be were forced to pay ~tt entio n. The story continues today, casting a. shadow of uncertainty on the 2008 election and beyond." Witli another presidenti.al election in.

Colo. zoo. On Tuesday the 300-pound Siberian tiger killed a visitor when escapeo from its high·walled pen. Two other visitors were severely mauled. Tatiana was born .at the Denver Zoo, but then transferred to The San Francisco Zoo in Dec. 2005. a . j~mp is possible. Not every tiger could do it, she said , "but like human beings, every creature has its own amazing athletes." Ron Magill, a spokesman at the Miami Metro Zoo, said it is unlikely a zoo tiger could make such a leap, even with a running start. "Captive tigers aren ' t nearly in the kind of shape that wild tigers have to be in to survive," he said. He said taunting can definitely make an animal more aggressive, ,but "whether it makes it more likely to get out of an exhibit is purely speculative." The police chief would not comment on whether the animal was taunted. The same tiger, a 4-year-old female named Tatiana, ripped the flesh off a zookeeper 's am1 just before Christmas a year ago while the woman was feeding . the animal through the bars. A state investigation · faulted the zoo, which installed better equipment at the Lion House, where the big cats are kept. Zoo director Manuel Mollinedo said Wednesday that he gave no thought to destroying Tatiana after the 2006 incident, becau se "the tiger was acting as a normal · tiger does." As for whether Tatiana showed any warning signs before Tuesday's attack, Mollinedo said: "She seemed to be very welladjusted into that exhibit." It was unclear how long the tiger had been loose before it was killed . The three visitors were attacked around closing time Tuesday on the 125-acre zoo grounds. Four officers hunt ed down and shot the animal after pol ice got a 911 call from a zoo employee. ·The zoo has a response team that can shoot aniinals.

Tatiana was born .at the Denver Zoo, but then transferred to The San Francisco Zoo in Dec. 2005. a . j~mp is possible. Not every tiger could do it, she said , "but like human beings, every creature has its own amazing athletes." Ron Magill, a spokesman at the Miami Metro Zoo, said it is unlikely a zoo tiger could make such a leap, even with a running start. "Captive tigers aren ' t nearly in the kind of shape that wild tigers have to be in to survive," he said. He said taunting can definitely make an animal more aggressive, ,but "whether it makes it more likely to get out of an exhibit is purely speculative." The police chief would not comment on whether the animal was taunted.

As for whether Tatiana showed any warning signs before Tuesday's attack, Mollinedo said: "She seemed to be very welladjusted into that exhibit." It was unclear how long the tiger had been loose before it was killed . The three visitors were attacked around closing time Tuesday on the 125-acre zoo grounds.

By squandering a chmic·e to control their playoff tb· tiny with a 19· 14 loss last Sunday ·;n Cincinnati. the Browns have re1idered their who we're going 10 play. Quinn h:is heen one play away all year. He's still one play away. "If he has to play, he' ll go in and represent him self well and he' ll represent the Browns well." The closest Quinn came to playing was on Oct 7 at New England, when Anderson landed on his right shoulder and looked as if he was headed to the bench. Quinn stripped off his jacket and q u i ~:k l y began warming up. but before he made it to the huddle, Ande rson regrouped and has stayed under cente r ever since. Browns fans, who chanted " Bra-dy, Bra-dy" during the preseason, have been ·subdued all year in their' desire to see Quinn because of the emerge nce of Anderso n. who has thrown for 3,635 yards, 28 touchdowns and is perhaps the higgest reason Cleveland hasn' t faded from the playoff pictu re. However, Anderson 's four interceptions against the Bengals has stirred up the idea of seeing what Quinn · can do. Barring an tnJury to Anderson, any decision to insert Quinn on Sunday could have greater consequences for the Browns. Anderson will become a restricted free age nt fo llow; ng the season and general manager Ph il S11vage has said the team expects to offer the 24-year-old . who was voted a Pro Bowl alternate. the highest one-year · tender. The o nly way another team could sign Anderson is if it gives up a .first· anp thi rd-rou nd draft pi ck in 200R to Cleveland, a steep price for a QB with only one year's experience and one who already lost a big Decembe.r game. Quinn was believed to be the Browns' quarterback of the futu re, but that plan may have been altered by Anderson 's surprising success. There's al sp the possibility the team could ride out another season with both players. As for this week, Browns wide receiver Brayton Edwards said · that while there may be a curiosity factor altached to seeing Quinn, he doubts Crennel would do ·anything differently than . in the first 15 ga mes. "I can ' t see hi m (play ing Quinn) th is la te in the season and causi ng any controversy or anything like that with how we played all year." he said. "There have been stime .chances for Quinn to 'get in. If that was going to be the case, he didn ' t take· them then and I don 't see him taking them now." Anderson, who has been reluctant to 'adclress any questions about his future, was asked about the potential of Quinn getting some time.

By squandering a chmic·e to control their playoff tb· tiny with a 19· 14 loss last Sunday ·;n Cincinnati. the Browns have re1idered their who we're going 10 play. Quinn h:is heen one play away all year. He's still one play away. "If he has to play, he' ll go in and represent him self well and he' ll represent the Browns well." The closest Quinn came to playing was on Oct 7 at New England, when Anderson landed on his right shoulder and looked as if he was headed to the bench. Quinn stripped off his jacket and q u i ~:k l y began warming up. but before he made it to the huddle, Ande rson regrouped and has stayed under cente r ever since. Browns fans, who chanted " Bra-dy, Bra-dy" during the preseason, have been ·subdued all year in their' desire to see Quinn because of the emerge nce of Anderso n. who has thrown for 3,635 yards, 28 touchdowns and is perhaps the higgest reason Cleveland hasn' t faded from the playoff pictu re. However, Anderson 's four interceptions against the Bengals has stirred up the idea of seeing what Quinn · can do. Barring an tnJury to Anderson, any decision to insert Quinn on Sunday could have greater consequences for the Browns. Anderson will become a restricted free age nt fo llow; ng the season and general manager Ph il S11vage has said the team expects to offer the 24-year-old . who was voted a Pro Bowl alternate. the highest one-year · tender. The o nly way another team could sign Anderson is if it gives up a .first· anp thi rd-rou nd draft pi ck in 200R to Cleveland, a steep price for a QB with only one year's experience and one who already lost a big Decembe.r game. Quinn was believed to be the Browns' quarterback of the futu re, but that plan may have been altered by Anderson 's surprising success. There's al sp the possibility the team could ride out another season with both players. As for this week, Browns wide receiver Brayton Edwards said · that while there may be a curiosity factor altached to seeing Quinn, he doubts Crennel would do ·anything differently than . in the first 15 ga mes. "I can ' t see hi m (play ing Quinn) th is la te in the season and causi ng any controversy or anything like that with how we played all year." he said. "There have been stime .chances for Quinn to 'get in. If that was going to be the case, he didn ' t take· them then and I don 't see him taking them now." Anderson, who has been reluctant to 'adclress any questions about his future, was asked about the potential of Quinn getting some time. Would he mind 0 "You want to fini sh this game and fini sh, the 16 games of this season," he said. "I think we ' ve stuck together through everything thick and thin through the whole season and I don··, see why things would change.''

Ma ss. - Randy Moss rai1 downfield . The co rnerbac k backpedaled. The play resulted in a hU ge gain . Hardly unusual for one or the best deep threats in the · NFL. But thi s time the ball was· n't where Moss likes it best. in his hand s. In stead , Laurence Maroney was tugging it for 51 yards and Moss was clearing the way in front of him in the Patriots easy 28· 7 win over the Dolphins last Sunday. "Go watch Moss block on that play," New England coach Bill Belichick said . 'That's not about getting any record. That 's about blocking a gu y, trying to help your teammate make a big play and score . That's what Randy Moss has been for us since Day 1." The drive ended with Moss' second tou chdown catch of the game and 2 1st of the vear. If tie gets two more Saturday ni ght. he ' ll break Jerry Rice 's NFL record of 22 in one season, although Rice did it in 12 games in 1987, a strike year. And if the Patriots beat the New York Giants. they' II become the first team to finish a season at 16-0. In his first year with the Patriots, Moss has shed his reputation as a selfish guy who takes pl ays off plays when the ball 's not thrown to him . · " If !'break the record. I'm cool. If I don ' t. I' m cool." he said . "Basically, what I'm sayihg is: I want to keep winning. the hell with the re cord." They ' re not j ust words.
