The Ball State football team finished the regular season with a 5-7 record after beating Bowling Green on Friday 41-24.

Sophomore quarterback Ozzie Mann threw for 286 yards and three touchdowns, as well as no turnovers for the game.

Quarterback has career performance in final game of season

This summer, the university switched from creating magnetic strip ID cards to proximity cards. In response, the university took advantage of this change to update the security system in DeHority Complex.

PROXIMITY CARD BAR CODE More versatile than magnetic strip cards, proximity cards are printed using copper ink that can be scanned for RFID (Radio Frequency Identification).

They cost less than a dollar to manufacture and don't require battery power.

MAGNETIC STRIP Just like a credit card, the magnetic strip holds data, which is read when swiped. Ball State students used the stored information to gain entry to residence halls, purchase food and to take tests, amongst other identification uses.

Backup fills in after injury, helps end year on 2-game win streak DAVID POLASKI CHIEF REPORTER | @DavidPolaski Sitting on the bench could have served as a learning experience for Ozzie Mann.

The redshirt sophomore on the Ball State football team spent five-and-a-half games on the bench after losing the starting quarterback position to redshirt freshman Jack Milas heading into the homecoming game against Western Michigan on Oct. 11.

But after Milas broke his left wrist in the first half against Eastern Michigan on Nov. 22, it was Mann’s turn to show what he had learned. He wasn’t asked to do much against the Eagles, as the Cardinals already had a comfortable lead.

“You take a lot of mental reps when you’re watching — coverages, timing, everything really,” Mann said. “I was a lot more comfortable today. I sat out for however long it was, I watched things and was able to put things in perspective.”

The three touchdown passes along with 286 yards were both career-highs for Mann, who needed a strong performance to build both the confidence inside himself and within the program heading into the offseason.

SECURITY PROTOCOLS

n response to updated university ID technology, Housing and Residence Life is installing a new security system in DeHority Complex, requiring residents to obtain the new IDs. If the system is successful, other residence halls will follow.

The newer student IDs have a proximity reader, which allows a scanner to read information when the card touches it. Sensors are being added to the hall’s entryway.

Students will be able to swipe the card as before or hold the card up to the device, which will unlock the door, said Cindy Miller, assistant director of housing and residence life for marketing communications and technology.

The Registrar’s Office made the decision to offer the new IDs to the 2014 freshman class.

UNIVERSITY REJECTS 24-HOUR LIBRARY PLAN SGA executive board looks for new location to fulfill platform point RAYMOND GARCIA CHIEF REPORTER | ragarcia@bsu.edu

The Student Government Association did not receive approval to keep Bracken Library open for 24 hours during Finals Week.

President of SGA Nick Wilkey met with the assistant deans for University Libraries Tuesday morning to discuss the final decision.

“I was a little upset, but they are doing their jobs,” Wilkey said. “We appreciate the effort they put in.”

one of SGA’s executive board’s platform points during their campaign. They named the project Campus Camp Out. Wilkey said two of the main concerns were that there would not be enough students utilizing the service.

Suzanne Rice, assistant dean for public services for University Libraries, said there had been two test pilots to keep the library open 24 hours in the past.

The turnouts for both of those pilots were lower than anticipated.

Rice said the staff also looked at activity from Finals Weeks starting in 2011 until Spring 2014, which showed a decline of the number of students in the late hours.

he officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown resigned Saturday from the police department in Ferguson, Mo., where protests continued but were far more muted than the violence sparked by a grand jury’s decision not to indict the officer earlier in the week.

THURSDAY Partly cloudy High: 40 Low: 32

Here is a look at the latest developments:

OFFICER RESIGNS

An attorney for Darren Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who killed Brown, said Saturday that Wilson had resigned effective immediately. Wilson told the St. Louis Dispatch he decided to step down after the police department received threats of violence if he stayed on the force, saying, “I’m not willing to let someone else get hurt because of me.”

Wilson, 28, had been an officer with the department for less than three years.

He won’t receive any further pay or benefits, and he and the city have cut their ties, Mayor James Knowles told reporters a day after Wilson tendered his resignation.

PROTESTS ONGOING

More than 100 protesters were chanting outside Ferguson Police headquarters Saturday night, and many seemed unmoved by Wilson’s resignation. Several merely shrugged their shoulders when asked what they thought. One protester, Rick Campbell, said he didn’t care about the resignation, saying, “I’ve been protesting out here since August.”

Protesters also started a 120mile march from Ferguson to

Gov. Jay Nixon’s mansion in Jefferson City. Organized by the NAACP, the march is expected to take seven days, with participants calling for new Ferguson police leadership and police reforms nationwide.

Demonstrators turned their focus to disrupting commerce on Friday, one of the biggest shopping days of the year, by holding numerous protests in several U.S. cities. Authorities temporarily closed three large shopping malls in suburban St. Louis following protests there, while about 200 people demonstrated along Chicago’s popular Magnificent Mile shopping district. Eleven people were arrested at a mall in Raleigh, N.C. Numerous storefronts in the Ferguson area still have their windows covered with plywood after the looting and violence in the immediate aftermath of the grand jury announcement Nov. 24. But many merchants added spraypainted messages indicating that they were open.

THE CASE

Brown, who was black, was unarmed when Wilson, who is white, shot him on Aug. 9 following a confrontation in

a Ferguson street. Some witnesses said Brown had his hands up when Wilson shot him. Wilson told a grand jury that investigated the case he feared for his life when Brown hit him and reached for his gun.

The shooting stirred racial tensions and led to numerous protests in Ferguson, a predominantly black community patrolled by a mostly white police force. A grand jury was assembled to investigate the shooting, and its nine white and three black members spent three months hearing more than 70 hours of testimony from 60 witnesses. Their decision not to indict Wilson was announced Nov. 24, prompting violent protests and looting that resulted in at least a dozen commercial buildings being destroyed.

FAMILIES OF BROWN, MARTIN MEET

Brown’s father, Michael Brown Sr., attended a prayer vigil Friday night in Miami Gardens, Fla. He met with Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, whose 17-year-old son Trayvon Martin was killed in 2012 by a neighborhood watch volunteer.

Tracy Martin told Miami television station WFOR he offered Michael Brown Sr. encouragement and told him, “God has his hands on the situation, and he’s gonna be OK.” The vigil was part of the annual Gospel Explosion Concert hosted by rapper Flo Rida.

TOP 5 OVERLOOKED

DECEMBER FILMS It’s easy to become overshadowed by new movies like “Into the Woods,” “The Hobbit” and “Exodus: Gods and Kings,” but these upcoming film releases should be on the top of your list this December.

‘WILD’

Release Date: Dec. 2 Genre: Docudrama Runtime: 115 minutes Rating: R Reese Witherspoon plays Cheryl Strayed, PHOTO COURTESY OF PCTA.ORG a reckless woman in the face of adversity after the death of her mother and recent divorce.

“Wild” is the story about Strayed’s healing process as she hikes alone for 1,100 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail and the people she meets along the way. The director for this film is Jean-Marc Vallée, who directed critically-acclaimed “Dallas Buyers Club” and “The Young Victoria.” Nick Hornby wrote the screenplay; he has written a slew of successful film and books, including “High Fidelity,” “About A Boy” and “An Education.” With a star-studded ensemble of cast and crew, this film is bound to impress anyone in the mood for the true story of a woman who throws away her past and makes a new beginning for herself.

‘COMET’

Release Date: Dec. 5 Genre: Romance/Sci-Fi Runtime: 91 minutes Rating: R Set in a parallel universe, this film is about PHOTO COURTESY OF the romance IMPAWARDS.COM between a cynic named Dell, played by Justin Long, and a romantic named Kimberly, played by Emmy Rossum, during a cosmic six-year period. Sam Esmail is the new director in charge of “Comet,” having never done a fulllength film before. Although a rookie by most standards, Esmail recruited an extremely talented crew to take on this film, as the lighting, cinematography and editing is some of the best I have seen this season. The photography in “Comet” incorporates breathtaking color, stunningly dark lighting and dazzling visual effects. If romance isn’t your thing, you should still consider watching this film for its amazing production value and fascinating take on the effect of meteor showers.

‘PIONEER’

Release Date: Dec. 5 Genre: Thriller Runtime: 111 minutes Rating: R Directed by Erik Skjoldbjaerg, who has done PHOTO COURTESY OF films such as WIKIPEDIA.ORG “Insomnia” and “Prozac Nation,” “Pioneer” is the story of a conspiracy during the Norwegian Oil Boom in the early 1980s. Petter, a commercial offshore diver, and his brother are sent on a mission to put the first gas pipe in the North Sea and dive deeper than anyone before. Controversy sparks as Petter begins to have blackouts and tries to uncover the cause of a tragic accident that occurred not long after the assignment’s start. As he starts to wonder who is really in control of his mission, his determination becomes even stronger to do what no man has ever done before.

A guaranteed film to put you on the edge of your seat, “Pioneer” will be worth your time this December.

‘BIG EYES’

Release Date: Dec. 25 Genre: Biography/ Drama Runtime: 106 minutes Rating: PG-13 “The eyes are the windows of the soul … that’s why I paint them so big.” Tim Burton has returned PHOTO COURTESY OF with this semi-bioGEEKTYRANT.COM graphical film about 1950s painter Margaret Keane and her struggle to gain credit for the work her husband stole from her. Keane is famous for her paintings centered on the obscene largeness of her subjects’ eyes. Based on visuals from films like “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Corpse Bride,” it’s no wonder why Burton chose this story as one he wanted to produce. A number of great actors were cast for this new film, including Amy Adams as Keane, Christoph Waltz as her greedy husband and Jason Schwartzman, who plays an acquaintance named Ruben, all of whom Burton has never worked with before. As Burton is a highly loyal director when it comes to his talent, he made this choice only one other time, when he made “Beetlejuice” in 1988.

For those of you who have been missing Burton for the past two years, this film is a must-see for the coming month.

‘UNBROKEN’

Release Date: Dec. 25 Genre: Action/ Drama Runtime: 137 minutes Rating: PG-13 This action film, directed by Angelina Jolie and PHOTO COURTESY OF written by Ethan AWARDSWATCH.COM and Joel Coen, tells the inspirational tale of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic runner who is captured by Japanese soldiers during World War II. The story of Zamperini has been a long time coming — Universal Studios bought the rights 57 years ago — but for reasons unknown, never made it to production. Finally, British actor Jack O’Connell will bring the role into fruition with a performance that some critics say will launch his career as a serious actor.

Despite its half-a-century-long struggle, “Unbroken” has the support of the real Zamperini, who had a consulting role in its production. It was a real risk making such a long-awaited film into a reality, but when asked if the film will translate well on screen, producer Matthew Baer said, “I’ve never been as sure about anything in my life.”

Miller doesn’t see the change in systems as a huge change to the security system already in place.

“We just see this as going about our business, so we don’t really see this as a big deal,” Miller said.

Trailing 7-0 early in the first quarter, Ball State was looking to respond to Bowling Green’s initial touchdown with one of its own.

The Falcons had scored on the first play of the game, and Ball State was looking to swing momentum back in its favor.

Cardinals quarterback Ozzie Mann hit KeVonn Mabon on a short slant, and Mabon turned upfield and broke two tackles on his way to a 63-yard touchdown, tying the game.

Mabon finished the game with six catches for 119 yards and a touchdown.

Senior running back Jahwan Edwards had 28 carries for 177 yards and two touchdowns in the game against Bowling Green Friday. Edwards finished his college football career with 51 touchdowns, the most in Ball State history.

Kyle Kamman and David Morrison are still improving, and Ball State will add Yorktown High School quarterback Riley Neal to the mix as well.

But for the last weekend of the season, it was Mann’s time to shine.

“It was really, really solid,” Ball State head coach Pete Lembo said of Mann’s play against Bowling Green. “We put a good plan together for him based on his skill set ... some of the play action and sprint passes we put in there, he was able to execute.”

Sometimes, spending time on the bench isn’t a bad thing.

Bowling Green is running a dime defense, meaning they have three defensive linemen, two linebackers and six defensive backs. Corner Nick Johnson is lined up on Mabon, giving him very little cushion.

Ball State is on the left hash of its 38-yard line with 13:13 left in the first. Mann is in shotgun with Jahwan Edwards to his right. The Cardinals have three receivers lined up to the right. Mabon is lined up far right, while Corey Lacanaria is to his left, and Chris Shillings is to Lacanaria’s left. Before the snap, Shillings comes in motion, moving to the left side of the line.

Mann was the starting quarterback when the season began, but Ball State’s offense sputtered and the Cardinals went 1-4 in that stretch, averaging just 22 points per game. He struggled to push the ball downfield, underthrew receivers, didn’t look through his progressions and seemed uncomfortable.

It was a different story for Mann on Friday when he was finding open receivers all over the field, playing collected and confidently.

He threw a quick slant to KeVonn Mabon, who curled upfield and took the pass for a 63-yard touchdown.

He lobbed a touch pass to a wide open Chris Shillings in the end zone on blown coverage. With the first half winding down, he fired a pass to Jordan Williams, who fought for a touchdown.

It was the kind of effort that helped Mann earn the starting nod to begin the season.

With both Mann and Milas showing promise as well as weaknesses throughout the season, a quarterback battle could emerge during the offseason. Backups

At the snap, Lacanaria and Mabon both run quick slants toward the inside of the field. Lacanaria’s slant pulls his defender away from Mabon, allowing Mabon to come open. Mabon quickly cuts inside, and his defender briefly loses him. Mann hits Mabon, who catches the ball at the Ball State 44.

4

Mabon turns upfield, and Johnson attempts a diving tackle, but misses. Seeing that he only has to beat defensive back Ryland Ward, Mabon swings slightly to the right and Ward can’t adjust fast enough, attempting to make the tackle but missing. Mabon races the rest of the way to the end zone.
