Cardinal Film Fights is a new film debate show at Ball State. The club gets together each week to debate four questions about any topic involving film or television.

New club debates TV shows, films Cardinal Film Fights began in screenwriting class Jodi Aleshire Daily News Reporter Still in its fledgling stage, Cardinal Film Fights (CFF), has already begun to garner a bit of attention from Ball State students.

The group produces an online show where they debate topics that have to do with film. Stuart Elmore, CFF’s president and a junior music media production major, notes how unique the club is to campus.

“It’s not like Cardinal Filmworks,” Elmore said. “It’s something entirely different. We aren’t a book club for movies. We get together every other week to debate four questions about any topic involving film or television.”

“We debate everything,” said Nick Evans, the group’s vice president.

Only six months old, CFF began as the brain child of Elmore and a few of his classmates in a sophomore script writing class. Urged on by their professor, and later their faculty sponsor, Katherine Gardener, the club emerged from a few class discussions about recent movies into a bi-weekly production.

“I’m a big fan of 'Screen Junkies' on YouTube, and every Thursday they have special debates on their channel called ‘movie fights.’ So the main idea behind Cardinal Film Fights came from that,” Elmore said.

“Our episodes are shorter and a bit more formal, but it’s a similar concept.”

The organization is made up of two groups, the producers and the debaters.

“The debaters are mostly telecommunications majors,” Evans said. “But anyone can be a debater if they get in contact with someone in the club. We have debated topics [such as] the least-deserving Best Picture Academy Award winner, the best Pixar movie, and the best original score.”

FIRED Saturday morning robbery results in 1 dead, 3 arrested—2 of which are students­

Casey Smith News Editor

Ball State student fatally shot an armed robber at her apartment early Saturday — and was then arrested herself after police said they discovered 30 grams of marijuana and $10,000 in cash.

The incident began with a theft of keys at a Friday night video game tournament and ended with a shootout between the student and two robbers breaking into her home at the Bethel Apartments around 6:30 a.m. Saturday.

Authorities gave this account of the

incident, which left two Ball State students facing charges, one man dead and another wounded and charged in the armed robbery: The gaming tournament was held at the apartment of Darjae Houston, a 23-yearold student. Houston noticed her keys were missing after the party, and she woke up a few hours later, at 4:30 a.m. on Saturday, when a masked intruder unlocked the front door to her apartment and began to come in. When she yelled, the intruder ran away.

After a two-interception day for sophomore Riley Neal on Saturday, it would’ve been hard to blame head coach Mike Neu for considering a change at quarterback.

But Neu put that idea to rest at his press conference on Monday.

“Riley is the starting quarterback,” he said. “He’s gonna come back and respond with mental toughness. He’s put a lot of time in, and deserves the opportunity to come back and see what he’s made of.”

So Neal will be the starter when the team trots

onto the field at Buffalo on Saturday. When asked a follow-up question if this is the “last time” he will get a chance to improve his play, Neu was adamant about taking it one game at a time.

“It’s a week-to-week game. ... I don’t live in a hypothetical two weeks, three weeks down the road,” Neu said as he banged his fist on the podium. “I’m prepared for this game. We’ll deal with the next question, next week.”

Neu was justifiably upset following the team’s 2421 loss at Central Michigan last week. The Cardinals were knocking on the door throughout the second half, but Neal threw a pick-6 early in the fourth quarter and underthrew what would’ve been the go-ahead touchdown with 1:37 left.

THE ISSUE

Every issue we take a look at a national or worldly topic and get student commentary on what's happening around the globe.

WHY IT MATTERS: LGBT The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) —Same-sex marriage is now the law of the land, but there are other battlegrounds related to civil rights and nondiscrimination protections for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people.

WHERE THEY STAND: Hillary Clinton is a supporter of LGBT rights; she has endorsed the Equality Act, a proposed federal law that would provide comprehensive protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Donald Trump says he would be a better president for gays than Clinton, yet major LGBT-rights groups strongly oppose him.

Among the reasons: He has balked at endorsing same-sex marriage, his evangelical advisory board has included prominent

opponents of advances in LGBT rights and running mate Mike Pence, Indiana’s governor, last year signed a law that critics said would allow businesses to deny service to gay people for religious reasons.

EDITED BY RICH NORRIS AND JOYCE LEWIS

WHY IT MATTERS: Whoever wins the presidency can only do so much to influence national LGBTrights policies, unless the winner’s party sweeps control of Congress. The proposed Equality Act is unlikely to advance through a Republican-controlled House, even if Clinton wins. And the nationwide legality of samesex marriage is unlikely to be threatened, though some conservatives cling to hopes that a Supreme Court reconfigured by Trump appointees might reverse the 2015 ruling extending that right to all 50 states.

Fall is a great excuse to decorate rooms with leaf garland, fall scents and miniature pumpkins. Another way to update a room for the season is to make a DIY paper pumpkin.

Emily Sabens // DN

Experience the autumn atmosphere

Welcome the season change with these fall decorating tips Emily Sabens Daily News Reporter

With the air getting colder and the leaves changing color, the autumn season is beginning to hit us full force. To make your dorm room feel warm and cozy this fall, try out one of these easy and lowcost ideas.

STRING LEAF GARLANDS AROUND YOUR ROOM One easy and cheap way to decorate your dorm for the season is to buy simple autumn leaf garlands at a local craft store.

These garlands can give you the feeling of being outdoors, sitting underneath the colored leaves, even if you are inside your room doing homework. You can hang them above your doorway, around your mirror, or if you have a loft bed, you can string them around the bedframe.

You can find fall-themed leaf garlands at retailers such as Michael’s or Hobby Lobby in store or online.

UPDATE YOUR BEDDING The fall season in Indiana brings in cooler temperatures — why not grab a new throw blanket to keep you toasty as well as add a twist of autumn to your room? If one of your favorite parts of fall is bringing out your stylish sweaters

FILM FIGHTS Continued from page 1

The production team is made up of nine people who work out every little detail of the show. They also pick the topics and

to keep you warm from the cold, many stores offer throws made from the same warm fabric.

Try checking out Target for a variety of these types of blankets in some traditional fall colors.

Another easy way to give your room a new spin is to buy some fallthemed decor pillows to display on your bed. Try checking out Kohl’s or Target in store or online for a large but inexpensive variety.

INCORPORATE SOME CLASSIC FALL SCENTS There are a variety of classic activities people enjoy during the fall: visiting an apple orchard and sipping homemade cider, jumping into a tall pile of raked leaves, toasting marshmallows by a chilly evening bonfire and, of course, eating a whopping, delicious slice of pumpkin pie.

Once the autumn season arrives, many stores begin to carry candles and air fresheners that feature these classic fall scents.

Most dorms do not allow candles; however, you can choose to buy a plug-in air freshener that will give your room the sweet fall scent you desire.

Try checking out Bath and Body Works in the Muncie Mall or online for a variety of signature fall scents.

questions for each show.

“Being on the production team is a great way to settle into a weekly routine working with equipment,” Elmore said.

“We get to film our shows in a studio so it’s also great work for a résumé.”

All of the debates will be put online as both videos and podcasts, both of which

ADD SOME MINIATURE PUMPKINS TO YOUR DECOR In a dorm room, everything is shrunk down from normal size: small closets, mini fridges and just a lack of space in general. Although pumpkins are a staple in fall decor, it may be difficult to lug a full-size pumpkin into your room. Instead, try purchasing some miniature pumpkins this year. They may be smaller in size, but they still add the same aspect of the autumn atmosphere full-sized pumpkins would, and are usually less expensive.

Try placing mini pumpkins in a cute basket or ornate bowl. You can even purchase some miniature gourds or small ears of colorful Indian corn to place along your petite pumpkins.

You can find any of these items at Meijer or Walmart, as well as almost any other grocery stores you visit during the fall months.

GET CRAFTY If you love DIY projects, then try out this fun do-it-yourself pumpkin craft made from an old book.

What you’ll need: • A book (one that you do not mind cutting up) • Orange spray paint • Sponge brush • Scissors • Hot glue gun

are available to the public. Currently no debates have hit YouTube yet, but the first is scheduled to drop very soon.

Cardinal Film Fights is, as Elmore put it, “very casual and low-time commitment.”

• A branch to use as the stem of the pumpkin • Plastic bag or protective material Start by creating a stencil for your pumpkin -- take a sheet of paper and fold it in half, then draw a semicircle along the crease to represent the shape of half of your “pumpkin.”

Next, open your book to about the halfway mark. Lay your stencil along the crease of the book, then begin to cut around the stencil using your scissors. Your scissors will probably allow you to only cut 11 to 12 pages at a time. Continue this process until the entire book has been cut out.

Stand your pumpkin up and line up the two spines of the book. Take the branch that you plan to use as the stem and hot glue it between the two spines. Then, fill in any spots along the spines with hot glue to make sure everything stays together.

You may notice that your “pumpkin” may have some gaps between the pages; you can fix this by slightly crumpling the pages of your pumpkin, making it appear fuller, or by gluing some of the pages together in order to make them stay in place.

Lastly, lightly spritz the edges of your pages with the orange spray paint. Wait for paint to completely dry on a plastic bag or protetive material before using it to decorate.

members to come and join the fight.

SHOOTING Continued from page 1

She asked a male friend to come to the apartment for safety, and then was Facetiming with her friend Alicia Tarver when two masked men with handguns came to the door and tried to break in.

Houston’s male friend was trying to keep them out when one of the gunmen shot him in the wrist. Authorities, who did not name Houston’s friend, said he was not seriously injured.

Police said Houston told them she then grabbed her 9-mm handgun from a couch and began firing at the men in her doorway. One of the men, identified as 21-year-old Trayon L. Turner, was shot in the head and leg, and fell to the floor while the other man fled.

Turner died at the scene. The other intruder, later identified as Turner's cousin, 21-year-old Delon Martez Owens of Indianapolis, was shot three times.

Authorities said Owens fled to the home of his girlfriend, Alicia Tarver, the woman whom Houston had been talking to via Facetime when the gunmen attacked her home. Tarver lives on Marleon Drive about two miles away, and police said she drove Owens to Ball Memorial Hospital, where he underwent surgery and was not critically injured.

Owens later tried to persuade officers he was shot by three men trying to steal his cell phone. Tarver, meanwhile, told police she had been in Indianapolis.

Investigators said she provided false information about her whereabouts at the

The Muncie Police Department is investigating a homicide that occurred Saturday near campus. Ball State students Darjae Houston and Alicia Tarver were arrested following the event. Houston was arrested for marijuana possession but was justified in defending herself against intruders, which ultimately killed 22-year-old Treyon Turner of Indianapolis.

time of the shootings, saying, “[Owens] wouldn’t tell her what happened, and she had no clue what happened.”

Investigators found a bloody .38-caliber revolver in a dumpster at Tarver’s apartment complex and a car at the apartment complex — registered to the dead man’s mother — with blood stains inside. Turner’s wallet and ID were also found in Tarver’s apartment.

Back at Houston’s apartment, police discovered the marijuana, cash and digital scales, and arrested Houston on preliminary charges of possession of marijuana and maintaining a common nuisance. Tarver was also arrested on charges of obstruction of justice, false informing and assisting a

criminal. Both students were released from jail Saturday after posting bond.

Police believe Houston had told Tarver there were large amounts of money in her apartment, and Owens and Turner broke in to take the cash.

Owens was released from Ball Memorial Monday night and was being held in the Delaware County Jail under a $60,000 bond.

Records show Owens already faces criminal charges in Indianapolis. He was one of three men arrested for allegedly firing gunshots that wounded four people in a downtown Indianapolis parking garage on May 29. Trial on four charges of attempted murder is set for December, and he could face up to 40 years in prison

if convicted. Owens also received a suspended sentence for a misdemeanor battery conviction in Marion County in July.

Muncie Police said because the male intruders fired shots first, Houston was justified in defending herself.

“When two suspects attempt to break in to someone’s residence, it’s always dangerous, and you have a right to defend yourself,” MPD Detective Brian Campbell said.

Campbell said more charges could be coming in the case, but it will be up to the prosecutor’s office to make that decision.

Indy to host 'Harry Potter Fan Festival' in IMAX "Potter Passes" include tickets to newest movie in series Alexandra Smith Daily News Reporter “Harry Potter” fans will have the chance to experience all eight films on the largest movie screen in Indiana.

In a celebration of the 15th anniversary of the release of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” the Indiana State Museum is hosting a Harry Potter Fan Festival starting Friday. The films will run on the museum’s IMAX screen.

Students who are fans of the movies are excited for the possibility of getting to see

the movies in theaters again.

RuthAnne Shellabarger, a junior public relations major, read the books growing up and went to almost all of the films when they came out.

“I’d like to say I am a pretty devoted Potterhead,” Shellabarger said. “I would love to go see the movies at the Harry Potter Fan Festival. I think it would be a fantastic experience to be able to relive all of the movies in theaters again.”

Brandon Chitwood, a senior philosophy major, said the idea seemed neat.

“I always like those types of gatherings that get a lot of people together who all like the same thing,”

TASTING ~~~ ~~~ IS

BELIEVING

Chitwood said. “You know everyone likes it, so there will be cheering and the like. It’s just a fun experience.”

Samantha Shoemaker, a junior social work major, wishes she had the time and money to go to the festival.

“I’ve always loved the books and movies,” Shoemaker said. “They were a great way for my mom and I to connect.

This idea kind of sparks renewed excitement about the films.”

The festival and shows will run thoughout the week until Wednesday.

There will also be matinee times.

Tickets for a single screening cost $12 for adults. “Potter Passes” are also

available for $75; these allow moviegoers to view each film once. Passes also include a free ticket to the opening night showing of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” the series' prequel.

Aside from finding the time and money to attend, the hardest part of the festival is picking which film to see.

“I’d probably want to see all of them,” Shellabarger said. “I mean, what Potterhead wouldn’t want to have a 'Harry Potter' marathon on the largest screen in Indiana?”

Recent campus arrests raise questions Faculty worried about university monitoring after child porn cases Max Lewis Daily News Reporter Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important, especially at Ball State. But some feel security concerns do not give the university the right to play “big brother.”

After four separate child pornography cases became connected to Ball State faculty and staff, professor of marketing Shaheen Borna held a lecture on intellectual freedom and the right to inquiry and digital privacy.

The lecture was prompted by faculty concerns about how much access the Office of Information Security Services has to internet search information on computers using the Ball State network.

Borna took a survey sample of faculty members to find out how concerned they are about Internet privacy.

“I was amazed by their answers,” Borna said. “Faculty, for example, think their computer activities such as playing chess or listening to music in their offices are monitored by the university.”

Tobey Coffman, the director of Information Security Services, was present at the meeting and said his office does not look at specific content, but instead, scans for abnormal behaviors and security threats.

When computers are infected with malware, Coffman said, they will attempt to infiltrate other computers that are in the network. When this happens, Coffman’s office employs “tools” that are focused on catching those abnormal behaviors.

This handful of tools does not look into the actual content of the computer, though. Instead, Coffman said they look for patterns that are abnormal of a “normal user.”

Coffman said, the first child pornography case was caught when the computer of Randal Ray Schmidt was performing network scans that were out of the ordinary. This raised a red flag in the OISS, and when analysts looked into the activity, they found the computer had been infected with malware.

The malware had been found to be from a website in Russia, and when the analyst went to the Russian website, he found “objectionable content,” Coffman said.

The analyst then did a correlation search to see what other computers were connecting to the same website. In the search, the analyst found other Ball State computers were also accessing the exact same Russian website.

“It’s just flat, dumb luck that it happened and it was, for the offending party really, really bad luck,” Coffman said. “If one individual had not infected his system then we would not have seen any of the others.”

The office then turned the information over to the University Police Department for further investigation.

All devices that use the Ball State internet, such as student laptops, phones or tablets, are subject to security monitoring by the OISS. However, Coffman said, the office will not monitor viewed content on the device unless the office receives an alert that the content poses a security threat.

“When problem traffic patterns suggest that information security, integrity or performance has been compromised, we investigate,” Coffman said.

If a student is viewing pornography, for example, on Ball State internet, Coffman said his office will not be aware of it unless the pornography website hosts malware.

“There is this giant front door to the university ­— that is our internet connection — that we use to protect things coming in

and out,” Coffman said. “It’s kind of like we’ve got the doors locked and then there’s like a window that’s open so you just pop out the screen.”

Some of the concerns brought up by faculty, however, were related to researching and whether or not research conducted on Ball State computers would be monitored.

During the lecture, Matthew Shaw, Dean of University Libraries, said the library staff will not “systematically” monitor or interfere with the use of the computers there, and said Bracken Library has a special obligation to not monitor viewed content on their computers.

Shaw also said the library is part of the American Library Association and adheres to the Library Bill of Rights, which restricts the library’s ability to prohibit students from researching whatever they please. While it’s acceptable for students to watch pornography on a library computer, Shaw said, the library may request that they do so in private.

“If we get a complaint, for instance, from a user at the library who is uncomfortable with the content of someone’s website because they are looking at something that they considered objectionable, we might ask that person to move to a less conspicuous machine,” Shaw said.

There is an exception, however. If a student were viewing child pornography, the library would notify UPD. Shaw said the OISS always has the right to step in and correct any malware infections that occur in order to secure the entire Ball State network as a whole. If during any routine scans or malware corrections any illegal activity were to be discovered, then those cases, Shaw said, would be handled like any others elsewhere on the campus.

PROFESSOR SUES STATE TROOPERS

A Ball State professor is suing five Louisiana State Police troopers and the agency’s leader after an alleged unconstitutional stop and arrest of his juvenile son in the New Orleans French Quarter last year.

The lawsuit was filed Friday in federal court by architecture professor Olon Dotson and his son, Lyle Dotson.

The lawsuit states that state police physically assaulted and arrested Lyle on Oct. 7, 2015, without lawful grounds for doing so. In the suit, Lyle contends that his arrest, detention and treatment violated his constitutional rights and caused physical, mental and emotional distress, pain and suffering. The Dotsons are now seeking compensatory and punitive damages, as well as attorneys’ fees.

The Dotsons, who are black, were in New Orleans with the professor’s architecture class on a trip through the southern United States, learning about “key civil rights sites” and the “unique and historic architecture” of New Orleans.

During a stop in the French Quarter to see the interior courtyard at Pat O’Brien’s, a bar on Bourbon Street, Dotson’s then 17-yearold son could not enter because he was too young. The teenager arranged to meet the group at the bar’s back entrance, but got lost. While on the phone with his father, the lawsuit says “Lyle was physically assaulted, detained and ultimately arrested without lawful authority by Louisiana State Police.”

“Lyle Dotson did nothing other than stand on a public street in the French Quarter,” the lawsuit says. “Rather than uphold their obligation to make the French Quarter and the City of New Orleans a safe and pleasant destination for visitors, the Louisiana State Police’s unconstitutional and racially-driven policies, practices and customs achieve precisely the opposite, endangering and injuring individuals visiting New Orleans.”

Both the Louisiana State Police and the Dotsons were not able to comment on the pending suit.

Faculty member joins North Dakota pipeline protest Missouri River contamination biggest concern for community Lauren DeLorenzo Daily News Reporter

BALL S T

AT

Hundreds of Native American tribes across the country have been gathering to speak out against the construction of an oil pipeline close to the Sioux Nation reservation in North Dakota.

Joining them will be Kelli Huth, Ball State’s Director of Immersive Learning for Entrepreneurial Learning, and her elevenyear-old daughter, Ivy. “This all originated with a conversation with my daughter,” said Huth, who learned about the issue from a short Lawrence O’Donnel video. “We were sitting at the table and I was working on my laptop and she was drawing pictures. I showed my daughter [the video] and she got really emotional about it.

“She started asking lots of questions about it – what’s going on, and why isn’t anyone paying attention?”

The Dakota Access Pipeline, which originally was to run through Bismarck, the capital of North Dakota, was moved to a site near the Sioux Nation reservation after concerns about water contamination. The pipeline will now cross under the Missouri River, which is the reservation’s main water supply, and there are significant concerns about potential contamination and the effect this will have on the health of the community.

“If you look at the rate of spills, it’s pretty dismal,” Huth said. “It’s going to happen sooner or later, so it’s just a matter of when their water is going to be affected, and how badly.”

The pipeline construction will also disturb sacred Native American burial grounds, and has resulted in many environmental and Native American activists speaking out against it. Huth said it was her daughter’s suggestion to join the movement.

“My daughter was just like, ‘why don’t we go?’" Huth said. “And I looked at her, and said, 'that’s a really good question, Ivy. Why don’t we go?’”

The pair will join the movement against

the construction of the pipeline next week.

“It’s just a compelling thing for both of us to do personally, because of our heritage here,” said Huth, whose ancestors were part of the Miami tribe in Indiana.

The Huths aim to raise $5,000 in fundraising, and 100 percent of the money will go toward supporting those in the area with food, shelter and supplies to help sustain the anti-pipeline effort through the upcoming winter months.

“I felt like we needed to do something for more than just ourselves, to have something to give to them when we get there other than just our own manpower,” Huth said.

“But it’s not just about the fundraising. It’s not just about the trip that Ivy and I are taking. I’m trying to make sure that more people know what’s going on.”

A major concern for proponents of this issue, Huth added, is the lack of attention from traditional media outlets.

“Not only are we not hearing about this in mainstream media, but when we do hear about it, it seems like someone is being protected — and that makes me sick,” Huth said.

She explained that it took a lot of researching to even find the name of the company who was building the pipeline.

Articles referred to it simply as "a Dallasbased oil company."

“It’s disappointing,” Huth said.

“There’s just so much money and influence in the hands of the oil giants, and that has to change.”

However, Huth does see hope for movements like these in the future.

“I think that people care, and the fact that it’s slowly gaining more momentum even without this widespread coverage shows that people are concerned about it. When we go, I want to experience it, to learn for myself, to gain more of a perspective on their struggles and their troubles, so that I can be more of an advocate for them, from here in Indiana.”

Soccer sets new records, undefeated in MAC

Mattingly breaks school record, head coach wins 70 games Jacob Lee Soccer Reporter One game, two records.

When Ball State soccer beat Northern Illinois 2-0 Sunday, senior defender Leah Mattingly broke the school record for minutes played and head coach Craig Roberts tied the Cardinals’ record with his 70th win with the program.

“It’s a delight to have won it with these girls,” Roberts said. “It is the most gratifying thing to be around these individuals and to be apart of their success.”

Mattingly said health had a lot to do with her record-setting 7,112 career minutes played.

“It’s an honor to even be on the field that long,” Mattingly said. “I mean, it’s great, Chay [McNitt] could have that but she had an injury her freshman year.”

The Cardinals, now 10-2-2 with a 5-0-1 Mid-American Conference record, won both of their games over Fall Break. They now lead the MAC West and are ranked 43rd in the NCAA RPI, the highest ranking in program history.

On Thursday, Ball State won 2-0 against against Western Michigan, but Roberts was not satisfied with how the team executed the game plan.

BALL STATE RECORDS

• Most minutes played in a career -- Leah Mattingly (7,q2112) • Most wins by a head coach -- Craig Roberts (tied with 70)

“There should have been areas that we could have done better, and I felt we corrected a lot of those in the second half,” Roberts said. “I thought that we threatened the goal on several occasions where we could have gotten more goals as well.”

On Sunday at Northern Illinois, the Cardinals faced a different challenge.

Fans were sitting behind the Ball State goal for a majority of the game. They heckled junior goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel throughout the game and at one point even threw water on her during a free kick.

“We’re open to heckling and we’re open to crowds shouting and that doesn’t bother us,” Roberts said. “But sometimes, if it inflicts on safety issues in regards to players on the field, then I get very concerned.”

Ball State won’t have to worry about that in their next game, as the bleachers at Briner Sports Complex are only on one sideline. Roberts will go for his 71st win in that game Friday against Bowling Green.

NEAL

Continued from page 1 He’s now got six interceptions on the year, which matches last season’s total through 11 games.

“It just happens in the flow of the game,” Neal said after Saturday’s loss.

“Just don’t leave it short. It’s pretty simple, you know.

Put a little more on it and give [the receiver] a chance, it would be a touchdown and a different story.”

As a former quarterback himself, Neu said everyone who’s played the position has gone through a moment like this.

They have to make good decisions and minimize

mistakes, or you have to look in another direction.

If Ball State were to make a change this season, waiting in the wings is redshirt junior Jack

Milas. He began last season as the starter and has thrown for 1,645 yards, 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions in his career.

But the Cardinals are

sticking with their guy.

Neal is 4-11 in his career as a starter, but he has earned this spot through a pretty solid freshman campaign and a good offseason.

It’s no secret, however, that Ball State needs Neal to take the next step and respond to last week’s performance with mental toughness. As Neu put it, this week could be a defining moment in the young quarterback’s career.

“It’s a big moment,” Neu said. “How is he gonna respond when a game like that just happened? The pressure, all the questions that present themselves

all week long. What are you gonna do when you come out your first series against Buffalo?”
