Humans rely on smart phones. They are the most widely used method of communication; it is an all-in-one device that fulfills the 24-hour, day-to-day needs the first world.

Such dutiful reliance on smartphones suggested to

Kang, who began studying human smartphone dependency in 2012, that people equipped with a cellphone may have their intrinsic and extrinsic needs met by the device. These needs include physiological needs, safety, social, esteem and self-actualization — M ­ aslow’s hierarchy of needs.

Kang joined with Jaemin Jung, renowned scholar at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), to investigate if smartphones can meet basic needs.

In his State of the University Address, UTSA President Ricardo Romo announced his intention to hire over 50 new research professorships in the next few years.

These new UTSA professors will focus in the areas of cyber security, biomedicine, social and educational transformation and sustainability.

No plans to hire or alter non-research, non-tenured faculty were mentioned.

A new committee, led by Dr. Daniel Engster, a tenured UTSA professor, was created to consider the non-tenure track issue, centralize the information and report its findings to President Romo. The committee will analyze the number of non tenure track professors that work at UTSA and professors’ salaries, considering variables such as number of courses taught and the different levels of lecturers.

UTSA celebrated their 36th annual Best Fest this past homecoming weekend the Convocation Center lawn and parking lot.

UTSA’s bestsellers’ theme paid homage to the bestselling items sold at major Texas festivals and fairs.

The event began with the Rowdy Rally before their game against FIU the following day. Best Fest offered activities for students and faculty from carnival rides, live performances, a fireworks display, a golf cart parade and student organization booths.

The event was a success due to a large turnout with student organizations arriving early to prepare their booths. From Hufflepuff to Hunger Games themes,

students added their own creative flair to attract customers. The booths’ visual appeal, coupled with various menu items, contributed to Best Fest’ success.

Pre-physical Therapy Society member, Marissa Mario, shared “We are selling chicken nuggets today. It took us about two and a half hours to set up and we’ve had a pretty good number of our members coming rotating in and out. So far we are having a lot of fun.”

VIP Gospel Choir member Jasmine Gatlin added, “We’re selling funnel cakes with chocolate, strawberry preserves, whipped cream, and powdered sugar.”

The Filipino Student Association (FSA) sold pork and vegetable dumplings wrapped around a rice paper which garnered much attention. Voices (Volunteer Organization Involved See FEST, page 2

“I was 15 years old, sitting on the floor, listening to this man in a white uniform with a black belt, and I just remember being so nervous,” Luna recalled about her first karate class. The instructor wanted us to know that karate wasn’t just this thing but an art,” she continued. “In my head I thought, ‘This is serious.’

Karate: international champion reflects on the art of preparation on Forms and first in the Japanese-Okinawan Bladed Weapon Forms.

“It’s unreal,” Luna said.

“It’s been a whole month since then, and I still can’t wrap my head around it.”

Luna, 28, was one of only three people from Texas invited to join the United States Martial Arts Team and compete in the TAFISA tournament. She has studied karate for the last 12 years, specializing in the Hayashi-ha Shito-Ryu style.

“I was a sophomore in high school and over-

weight,” said Luna,who initially took the sport up as a way to incorporate exercise into her life.

“Originally, I was just going to join some gym; I was really lucky the class I signed up for ended up being the style I stuck with.”

Since then, Luna has competed in more tournaments than she can count.

Despite her familiarity with elite competition, each tournament excites her as much as her first. “I love the preparation that goes into tournaments; I love training. That added pressure, knowing I’m working for

something — it pumps me up so much.”

In her free time, Luna teaches at the Sanchin Karate Dojo where she trains. After earning her kinesiology degree at UTSA, she plans on working as a physical education instructor at the elementary school level.

“I would like to get a trial martial arts curriculum approved,” she said, “to see if it has any impact on the kids’ attitudes or their grades.

Eventually, I’ll open up my own karate school or fitness center.”

Luna is also involved with

the local non-profit organization United Communities of San Antonio (UCSA).

They work to eliminate bullying, bigotry and racism by promoting understanding and respect, which is something Luna believes in. “My mom’s the executive director (of UCSA),” she explained, “so I’ve grown up with these programs.”

“It’s about self-improvement,” Luna said, reflecting on her recent successes.

“I started karate because I loved the idea that I could get better at something throughout my life; I will always love that about it.”

and South Korea. Both countries were chosen not only because they have distinct cultural backgrounds but are also technologically advanced and have high cell phone usage.

In their first study, Kang and Jung adapted the scale they created to a survey and administered it to 437 American university students and 378 Korean university students.

The results from their initial effort showed that not only could a smartphone meet the five basic needs of humans but it could also do so regardless of cultures.

They found that because the smartphone is deeply embedded in daily routines, many people view the smartphone as being a necessary device and a lifeline for communication.

In their second study,

Kang and Jung considered how students actually used their phone to satisfy those needs. A total of 673 U.S.

of their smart phone use, while the U.S. users were more individualistic in their smartphone use.

“Smartphone needs are a global phenomenon, regardless of the differences in communication culture.”

Seok Kang

Associate professor of digital communication students and 376 Korean students participated in the survey.

U.S. users used their smart phones mostly for Internet browsing, calls, text messages and mobile apps.

Conversely, Korean smartphone users found entertainment and convenience to be the most important phone functions.

Kang explained that the Korean users considered group connectedness to be a very important aspect

According to Kang, the U.S. culture views social media as a way to showcase individual achievement, while Korean culture views social interaction as the main purpose for their social media use.

“One interesting finding,” Kang said, “is that both U.S. and Korean smartphone users do not think the smartphone is a symbol of status or a prestigious item.”

Kang hopes the findings from the study can be applied to other countries.

“The smartphone Basic Needs Scale (we used in our study) can be a standard guideline about how human beings meet their implicit and explicit needs using the smartphone,” Kang explained.

The studies’ findings showed that although the use of a smartphone for meeting basic needs is culturally driven and some differences exist, the similarities suggest there may be a universal smartphone culture.

As Kang hopes to discover in other countries, “The smartphone needs are a global phenomenon. Simply speaking, they are now part of our daily lives.”

minimal amount, especially when compared to some tenured research professors. This pay disparity could cause excellent professors to leave UTSA for higher paying jobs.

“I hated leaving UTSA, but I had to choose between my small house and teaching full time,” said former UTSA English professor Marguerite Newcomb.

Newcomb left the university after purchasing a house in 2010 because she could not afford her mortgage on her UTSA salary.

The median salaries of UTSA Writing Core Program’s lecturers I and senior lectures are $24,402 and $48,048 respectively.

Newcomb began teaching at UTSA in 2001. She taught a variety of courses for the Writing Program and the English Department during her nine years at the university.

“Working with students energizes me, and there is nothing more satisfying than having a student find his or her voice and get excited about learning,” she said. Now Newcomb works for a corporation, creating

UTSA courses for universities all over the world.

Newcomb’s account demonstrates that skills professors exercise are often transferable, marketable and valuable in the private sector. UTSA’s not-so-stellar treatment of non-tenure track faculty has already had some impacts.

Additionally, Newcomb claimed, “Writing doesn’t get the respect from those who make curriculum decisions in Texas, so writing instructors are woefully underpaid and underrespected.”

Recently retired English professor Bonnie Lyons stated that while she was teaching at UTSA, she voiced — often at faculty meetings — that non-tenure track professors should

The writing program has 17 lecturers and 4 senior lecturers. Lyons also argued that non-tenured professors with experience deserve pay raises. Although Lyons’ vocal stance may have made her unpopular at times, she said that no UTSA administrator ever attempted to stifle her opinions.

Starting at lecturer I and moving to the highest non-tenure track faculty position can be a struggle, said professor Dr. Cristina de Martinez, a non-tenure track language professor at UT Austin. Most non-tenure track faculty hold a doctorate, a few have a masters and extensive experience in their respective fields. De Martinez explained that despite the struggle, most of her colleagues are willing to stay at the university for the love of teaching.

However, de Martinez continued, the language and English departments are no stranger to non-tenure track lecturers moving to the private sector, often to work at publishing houses

Editorial

Voter ID laws: the new poll tax While everything may be bigger in Texas, voter turnout is not.

Texans have a chance to buck this trend thanks to a recent ruling by U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos of Corpus Christi who declared Texas’ voter ID law to be unconstitutional.

In 2011, the Texas legislature passed SB 14, requiring voters to show a form of identification before casting their vote. Acceptable forms of ID include a Texas driver’s license or photo ID no more than 60 days expired, a concealed handgun license, a U.S. passport, a military photo ID or a citizenship certificate with a photo.

Critics of the law noted

that student IDs are not allowed even if issued by a state institution.

Producing just one ID seems simple enough. Those of us fortunate to receive a college education typically already have at least one of these forms of ID. However, reaching out to the collegeeducated workforce has never been an issue. SB 14 is especially detrimental to less-educated, working-class minorities whose voice has traditionally been absent in the voting booth.

A study conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau found that in the 2012 presidential election 73 percent of voters were White, 13 percent were Black and 8 percent were His-

panic.

During that same year, a speech given by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder revealed that studies indicate 25 percent of the Black population lacks a government-issued ID while only 8 percent of the White population faced this same problem.

Voting history in Texas is shameful. From Whites-only primaries to literacy tests, minorities have been historically disadvantaged at the polls.

Ramos said in her 147-page opinion that “SB 14 creates an unconstitutional burden on the right to vote, has an impermissible discriminatory effect against Hispanics and African-Americans and was imposed with an unconsti-

tutional discriminatory purpose.”

Ramos also added, “The Court further holds that SB 14 constitutes an unconstitutional poll tax.”

Preventing voter fraud was the primary reason lawmakers gave for creating the voter ID law.

However, according to the Office of Texas Attorney General Gregg Abbott, only 51 people have been convicted of voter fraud in the last decade. Of those 51, only four were prosecuted for voter impersonation — the only type of fraud that ID laws protect against. The other 47 resulted from false mail-in ballots.

Abbott plans to immediately appeal Judge Ramos’

decision. If successful in his appeal, Abbott, who is also the Republican gubernatorial nominee, could reinstate SB 14 before the upcoming elections.

It’s time for students to start caring about politics.

Student loans, health care, reproductive access and the post-graduate job market are just some of the many prominent issues students inevitably face or will face.

It is no longer good enough to simply be registered to vote. Students have a responsibility to make it to the polls in this election. Voting and civic engagement among students, regardless of party affiliation, lets lawmakers know it’s time to include everyone.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, This is regarding the Oct. 7 article titled “The Green Fund Withers.” As members and past chairs of the Green Fund committee, we felt we needed to respond to the negatively toned article.

With the exception of UTSA and UTEP, all of the other Texas universities that have the Green Fund also have an office of sustainability. This includes paid staffing to assist in promoting their green fee process as well as soliciting proposals, which would include designing a web site.

Soliciting for proposals has been a major concern and action item for every Green

Fund committee since its inception. The Green Fund committee is a volunteer committee made up of students, staff and faculty who are giving of their own time to assist in increasing the sustainability of the UTSA campus and community.

Since the Green Fund started accepting proposals and funding projects, the Green Fund has contributed greatly to the sustainability of UTSA in many ways.

The proposed sustainability director is another step in UTSA’s drive to emulate what other “Tier One” universities are doing to better their campus environment.

This position would not take

the place of the Green Fund committee (it would be a violation of its own charter).

The position would instead be the force to organize sustainable progress on campus.

The Green Fund is not “withering” away. The committee’s process had a slow start in learning how to manage the process of implementing change at UTSA but has been growing stronger every year. By its charter, new committee members must be found every year, and there has not been a shortage of dedicated and driven individuals to come to the helm and collaborate and learn from established

members what works and what does not.

So instead of “withering,” the Green Fund is finishing strong. Its influence can be seen throughout the campus community. Projects that reduced waste and energy, like double-sided printing, recycling projects and LED lighting to projects that beautify our campus by planting 100s of trees around the 1604 entrance oval to diverting air conditioning condenser water (not gray water) so that the Sombrilla fountain can run again, even during a drought. So maybe in the future Paisano writers could highlight the benefits of the Green Fund and act

to influence positive change, perhaps by informing the UTSA community how they can submit their green fund proposal by going to utsa. edu/sga/greenfund.

Sincerely, Chad Sundol, Green Fund Chair Fall 2013; Michelle Garza, Green Fund Chair Spring 2014; Merced Carbajal, Green Fund Committee Member 2011-12; Madison Rosene, Alumni 2012, Green Fund Vice Chair 2014

arts@paisano-online.com Oct. 12 marked eleven consecutive years for Artpace’s Chalk It Up, an event that turns the Historic East Houston street into a beautiful, temporary collage of chalk murals. Chalk It Up is Artpace’s biggest community event of the year and promotes creativity, art education and the freedom to dream.

This free, family-friendly event hosts a variety of activities, musicians and food vendors. It was easy to enjoy a full day with Chalk It Up, which lasted from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This year’s Chalk It Up was almost overshadowed by the sudden downpour of rain that morning.

At the beginning of the event, the flood-like weather conditions threatened Chalk It Up’s ability to continue. The event’s Facebook page showed people were hesitant to attend.

Luckily, Chalk It Up continued, rain or shine. By noon, Houston Street was no longer flooded with rain but with hordes of people, over 20,000 in total. This mob of attendees consisted of adults, kids, pets and Chalk It Up’s 300 volunteers, and they all were there to enjoy fantastic works of public art.

People of all ages were able to create chalk drawings in the event’s “freestyle” zone with free chalk provided by Chalk It Up, in partnership with the San Antonio Museum of Art. There were also makeyour-own printed bandana tables, a Haiku station, temporary tattoo booths and many other activities.

The Guerrilla Haiku booth was ambitious with their goal of gathering five

hundred or more haikus created by attendees during the day. They wanted to show the importance of blending visual and literary art while showcasing San Antonio’s talent.

Spaces were reserved for displaying the works of Artpace’s 20 local artists, three of whom are currently hosted in Artpace’s gallery. They were chosen by guest-coordinator and Contemporary Art Month co-chairman, Nina Hassele.

These artists showcased their talents on four-foot by six-foot spaces during Chalk it Up. Some created stunning artworks that represented San Antonio’s colorful, Hispanic influence as well as current social and political ideals, while others were more abstract and performance based.

While the professional artists were impressive, many “teamworks” – murals created by companies, schools and other organizations – made many stop and

stare in wonder.

UTSA had its own mural space created by three art majors in the graduate art program: Justin Koraver, Allysa Dana and Sarah Fox. Their “teamwork” project incorporated a mural, designed by Justin and Sarah, and costumes by Allysa.

They encouraged other attendees to interact with the images and pose for photos.

Other schools, such as Southwest School of Art, used murals to send a message about the changing art community in San Antonio.

They did this with the slogan, “One line can start a revolution,” and their fantastic mural that referenced constructivism and revolutionary posters from the Cold War era.

This event deserved the crowd it drew, and after the day was done, the images left over from a day of free, artistic fun still decorated San Antonio’s Houston Street.

Thursday 10/16 Just in time for Halloween, San Antonio Ballet presents the critically acclaimed production of “Dracula” at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts.

This family-friendly event hits the stage Thursday, Oct. 16 at 8 p.m. with shows continuing through Sunday, Oct. 19.

Homecoming happenings arts@paisano-online.com From Oct. 6 to Oct. 11, UTSA celebrated its 2014 Homecoming Week. The university and its student organizations hosted countless events to pay homage to the university’s alumni.

On Oct. 6, the Student Black Leadership Council, Youth Behind Movement and Men of Honor hosted “Wild ’N’ Out” in the University Center Retama Auditorium at 8:30 p.m. The show was a parody of Nick Cannon’s MTV2 sketch comedy and improvisation television series. UTSA’s Blue Team and Black Team battled head to head in games such as “Family Reunion” and “How Fly is He.” The lovely “Wild ‘N’ Out” girls kept the crowd pumped, and episodes from the UTSA exclusive web series “Real Boyfriends of UTSA” were shown. The night ended with laughter, a victory by the Blue Team and live performances from the Black Student Union Dance Team and student Walter Moten.

On Oct. 7, the Roadrunners Live annual homecoming talent show kicked off in the Convocation Center at 8:30 p.m. with dancing, singing and comedy for a night packed with enjoyment.

The judges’ table consisted of members from the homecoming court, includ-

ing Korede Osifuwa and Jerome Scott, as well as executive board members from student organizations, such as Christian Kenney from the Student Government Association. More than 10 student organizations competed, but the Filipino Student Association took home first place, followed

by Phi Beta Sigma Incorporated and the Black Student Union Dance Team.

Wednesday, Oct 8. was full of laughs as Dormtain-

Sigma Theta Inc., showed off their best struts and pumped up the crowd for this weekend’s homecoming parties.

Thursday, Oct. 9, The Student Government Association hosted the 2014 Homecoming Golf Cart Decorating Party, carrying on a longstanding UTSA tradition. The Decorating Party began at 8:00 p.m. on the UC Lawn, with free pizza, cart decorators, music and the opportunity to

ment’s stand-up comedy show in the H.E.B University Center Ballroom started at 8:30 p.m. This night was full of barbershop humor, campus-life jokes and sidesplitting punch lines.

The crowd then shifted to the UC Paseo for the monthly Hump Day, hosted by the National Pan-Hellenic Council. Greek organizations, such as the Alpha Delta Lambda chapter of Omega Psi Phi Inc. and the Upsilon Nu chapter of Delta

participate in a great UTSA Homecoming tradition. The winner of the contest was Gamma Phi Beta sorority.

On Oct. 10, Roadrunner Productions, formerly known as the Campus Activities Board, hosted the 36th annual BestFest celebration, which began in the 1970s as a celebration of the best festivals from across Texas including Wurstfest in New Braunfels, Buccaneer Days in Corpus Christi, Fiesta in San Antonio,

Dallas’ Texas State Fair and George Washington’s Birthday Celebration in Laredo.

BestFest began at 4:30 p.m. in the Convocation Center parking lot. Student organizations sold everything from food and T-shirts to buttons and the opportunity to pie fellow peers in the face. The proceeds went towards organization expenses and philanthropies. Booth decorations demonstrated each organization’s creativity and continued this year’s “Turn the Page” theme.

There was food, carnival rides and music performances from The Voice Season 4 finalist, Holly Tucker, and American Idol winner, Kris Allen. This event earned major thumbs up from UTSA students, alumni, family, friends and community members.

Oct. 11 – game day! Tailgating began that morning and came in all shapes and sizes. Two huge parking lots set aside for tailgating were inhabited by student organizations with DJs, barbecue and margarita machines, t-shirt tents and breakfast tacos. Kickoff at the Alamodome began at 6 p.m., and the stadium was filled with orange and blue.

During the half-time show Mr. and Ms. UTSA royalties were crowned.

Congratulations to Carl Willis and Ileana Gonzalez.

The Roadrunners fought hard, winning the game 1613.

Music Jennifer Vannoy Arts Assistant

arts@paisano-online.com When listening to the Ohio-based band Walk the Moon, you’re not just listening to funky, upbeat music; you’re listening to funky, upbeat music that has a purpose.

The band, formed in 2008 by lead singer Nicholas Petricca, is becoming well known in the indie rock community for creating happy tunes. The group of four includes Petricca, Kevin Ray, Sean Waugaman and Eli Maiman. They released their first album “I Want!, I Want!” in 2010 and signed with Mick Management soon after to work on producing an LP. Last summer, they joined Panic! At the Disco on “The Gospel Tour,” creating quite a buzz. Their own tour, “Shut Up and Tour,” kicked off on Oct. 8 in Seattle and will end in Philadelphia on Nov. 5. Catch them when they come to Austin’s The Parish on Oct. 26.

Their new single, “Shut Up and Dance,” debuted

Sept. 10, and it is absolutely one to listen to. While their new untitled album doesn’t release until later this year, “Shut Up and Dance” definitely gives listeners something to look forward to. All you will want to do while listening to this song is shut up and dance with anyone around you.

The single is now available on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and Spotify.

This insanely catchy song will be in your head all the time and in the best way possible.

Inspired by artists such as Talking Heads, David Bowie and Grizzly Bear, Walk the Moon has a bit of pop mixed in with their cool indie spirit. Their awesome guitar riffs and sick bass drums give off an indie rock-esque vibe that will make even the most chill hipsters want to listen.

With positive and upbeat songs the band is hard to resist. Their toe-tapping choruses and well thought-out lyrics will have you listening to them on repeat for days.

Check out their songs; you will not regret it.

Austin City Limits Entering the Austin City Limits (ACL) festival grounds is enough to make the definition of location disappear.

Between the diversity of the audience and the range of worldwide musicians performing live, Zilker Park’s large patch of Austin, Texas grass transformed into a meeting place for music lovers.

Gates were scheduled to open daily at 11 a.m. on Oct. 10-12 for the second weekend of ACL; however, a weather delay on Day Two pushed the opening back an hour. A few performances were canceled, but the cooler temperature and shady clouds – surely showing up in anticipation of The Real Slim Shady’s performance that evening – were welcomed with open arms by festival-goers.

The headliners were Beck, Skrillex, Calvin Harris, Outkast, Eminem and Pearl Jam. On Day One, Beck and Outkast filled their stage areas with enthusiastic fans.

On Day Two, the crowds for Skrillex and Eminem were packed in like sardines as far as the eye could see, and die-hard Calvin Harris and Pearl Jam fans closed the festival on Day Three.

In addition to the ACL headliners, a surplus of tal-

experiences end up being one of the things that we love to talk about and just laugh about – not to encourage it at all,” vocalist Ellie Carroll said jokingly.

Emily Wolfe and her band mates played on Day Three.

The Austin-native has a soft yet strong voice accompanied by sounds from the guitar, keys, drums and violin. The group seemed very humbled and honored to play at ACL. “Yesterday, I had this crazy moment when I was looking at the stage (thinking) we are going to play Austin Ventures – finally!” Wolfe said of the stage reserved specifically for Austin-based bands.

Other highlights included a performance from Foster the People. Their electronic sound, paired with Mark Foster’s notably highpitched lead vocals, couldn’t have been easy to replicate live, but they pulled it off and produced a great outdoor music experience.

Rebelution shared their reggae-gone-rock vibes for a laid-back crowd on Day Two. The band’s interaction with the audience put their already great performance over the top.

However, Lana Del Rey seemed to lack that same interaction. Her beautiful voice and attractive image held her fans’ attention, but she didn’t say much between songs. She did walk off stage to be near some adoring fans, but even then

her demeanor seemed rather snobbish.

Right before Lana Del Rey, The Head and the Heart played a great set.

As the sun was setting, the Seattle band brought folk music to the festival. They paired violins and guitars with tambourines and other noisemakers, which translated well when played live.

The Day One closers, Outkast, had the audience mostly hooked; when looking at the sea of people, one could see a lot of tired and sweaty expressions.

From the front row of Eminem on Day Two – with no room to even try to turn around – the crowd was an eruption of memorized rap lyrics, waving hands and bobbing heads. The energy was undeniable as The Real Slim Shady played songs from his old and new repertoire.

On Day Three, Pearl Jam fanatics were treated to what Rolling Stone named “The Best of the Fest.” The band’s high-energy set list was a crowd pleaser and ended the music festival on a high note.

The great thing about this festival is that all eight stages had different acts to suit any taste. Even if no performance sounded interesting, enjoying the view of the Austin city skyline perfectly distanced from Zilker Park was always an option.

ent was apparent all over the eight stages at Zilker Park. From country stars to “Rap Gods,” anyone’s musical appetite could be satisfied.

Day One performer, The Glitch Mob, drew quite a large crowd. Band member Justin Boreta shared that, “(The band) all kind of happened as an experiment.

We never really intended to have this whole thing happen – it all just happened organically.” The group is known for producing attention-holding electronic beats and including lyrics sparingly. The trio came together after having separate DJ careers, which explains their refined taste for sounds that blend well.

The Nightowls, a 10-piece soul band founded in Austin, were one of the canceled acts on Day Two, and it was apparent that they were feeling a little blue.

But they didn’t let this crush their enthusiastic spirits.

With roots planted in states from California to Connecticut, each member plays a necessary role in producing a unique sound and performance experience.

Since The Nightowls are a larger group, it’s easy for audience members to sometimes get too interactive. One of the stranger accounts occurred prior to ACL weekend when a fan got up on stage and crawled under the piano player’s keyboard. “Those kinds of

Sports Assistant sports@paisano-online.com UTSA’s four-game losing streak finally ended Saturday night as senior kicker Sean Ianno hit two field goals during the final minutes of the game to lead the Roadrunners to a 16-13 win against the Florida International University Panthers. The victory came in front of a roaring homecoming crowd of over 25,000 at the Alamodome.

The Roadrunners saw backup quarterback and redshirt freshman Austin Robinson take the reins after true freshman quarterback Blake Bogenschutz went down with a hand injury late in the first quarter. Robinson’s first few series started slow, but eventually he found a rhythm that got the offense rolling.

“Coach (Coker) always says ‘be ready’,” explained Robinson. “I prayed a little bit on the sideline, I got the defense with me, I got the offense with me, Coach Brown and Coach Coker behind me, and finally I was able to settle down and relax and allow

the game to come to me.”

Robinson would end his night completing 14 of 17 passes and no interceptions. He racked up 144 yards through the air and another 64 rushing on the ground. Robinson proved to be an effective pocket passer, but it was his quickness on the run that stole the show.

“I was able to settle down and relax and allow the game to come to me.”

Austin Robinson

UTSA freshman quarterback

Robinson torched the Panthers’ defense with a 37-yard run in the second quarter, setting the Roadrunners up in FIU territory. The play would eventually lead to a twoyard touchdown run by sophomore running back Jarveon Williams.

With time running out, Robinson completed a 27yard pass to senior running back Brandon Arm-

strong. Although the drive stalled in the red zone after the catch, it was good enough to set up Ianno for a game-tying field goal.

When asked about his thoughts on Robinson’s performance, Coker had this to say: “I’m very proud of Austin. He’s an exceptional young man and a good student. For him to step in with limited experience and do what he did and how he did it, you can’t say enough about that. He did a phenomenal job and our guys really rallied around him.”

The Roadrunners’ defense also stepped up in a big way.

The Birds caused two interceptions and a UTSA-record five fumbles.

Senior defensive end Robert Singletary led the way with 10 total tackles with a career-high three sacks. He also recorded 4.5 tackles for a loss and two forced fumbles – both UTSA single-game records.

“We played pretty well on defense,” explained Singletary. “We just had an overall good effort. We usually try to go out there and play hard-hat defense, and today, we were able to do that.”

Senior safety Triston Wade also had a great night, racking up 11 tackles, a forced fumble and an interception.

Junior safety Duke Wheeler came to the rescue, recovering a fumble

by FIU’s return team to set up Ianno for the game winning kick with only 50 seconds left in regulation.

“I’ve never been more proud of a team,” explained an emotional Coker. “It was a hard-fought victory.

I told them to find a way to win...and somehow, we found a way. I can’t say enough about our football team and our coaching staff. We sure needed a win to get our mojo back, our energy back and our belief back. We’ve got many more tough games to play, but this one gives us a jump-start.”

With the win, the Roadrunners improve to 2-4 overall on the year, and 1-1 in C-USA play. UTSA’s next test will come on the road against Louisiana Tech (3-3, C-USA 2-0) next Saturday, Oct. 18 at 11 a.m.

Coker’s Controversy: Who is next under center?

COMMENTARY

Jonathon Garza

Sports Editor sports@paisano-online.com After escaping with their first conference win Saturday night against the FIU Panthers, the Roadrunners were left scratching their heads.

It was another night of dancing and shuffling for the UTSA quarterbacks as starting senior quarterback, Tucker Carter, was scratched before the game to nurse a lingering shoulder injury sustained at the start of the season.

True freshman, Blake Bogenschutz, got the start in place of Carter, but was sidelined early in the first quarter with an undisclosed hand injury.

Redshirt freshman Austin Robinson then stepped into the game and obtained what Bogenschutz, Carter and the UTSA faithful all direly craved — a win.

“He did a super job,” said Head Coach Larry Coker.

”I’m really happy for him.

People think of him as a running quarterback. But he’s really improved and worked hard this fall.”

Not only did this win put the Roadrunners back on track for a bowl berth, but it also left fans wondering who they will see next weekend.

“If we played today, obviously it would be Austin,” Coker said Monday.

“He’s proven he can do the job.”

Despite this declaration of confidence from Coker, it does leave the door open for Carter — a player who’s earned the loyalty of the coaching staff as the season’s progressed.

During spring training, controversy arose over who would take the reins for the Roadrunner’s postSoza era. Both Robinson and Carter were neck and neck.

Yet, with no question in both of the quarterback’s ability to pass and run the ball, Coker stuck with the senior-laden theme and

Carter shined in the Roadrunner’s debut in Houston, winning 27-7.

In the ensuing weeks, Carter’s inability to sustain drives got the best of him and gave Bogenschutz, not Robinson, more playing time.

Bogenschutz and Carter displayed moments of success during the Roadrunner’s program-tying four-game losing streak, but neither could get their offense off the ground, sharing six interceptions and recording only two touchdowns through the air.

For example, while facing the New Mexico Lobos, Coker benched Carter who finished the game 4 for 8 with 60 yards and an interception, and opted to go with Bogenschutz.

Bogenschutz played well, completing 10 of 16 for 169 yards through the air and recording an interception.

Although Bogenschutz played well, Coker decided to switch back to

Carter due to his familiarity with the two-minute drill, but the Roadrunner’s still fell to the Lobos 21-9.

In games where Coker has decided to switch his starter mid-game, UTSA has lost by a margin of 42 points— not including their win against FIU— and when sticking to his starter, by seven points.

Is Robinson ready to be a leader or will he join the quarterback shuffle once Bogenschutz and Carter are ready to play?

The Houston native finished the game against FIU completing 14 of 17 with 144 yards through the air and 65 on the ground.

He has proven his poise under center, and his natural running ability brings a new wrinkle to the playbook that UTSA has seldom experienced.

Sticking with this theme, perhaps Coker should opt with continuity and allow the red shirt freshman to grow as the season progresses.

Roadrunners on the Road UTSA Women’s Golf Led by a 2-under-par effort from junior Brogan Townend, the UTSA women’s golf team is in eighth place after the first round of the Betsy Rawls Invitational held Sunday at the University of Texas Golf Club (par 72,6,225 yards).

Townend carded a 70 and is tied for eighth in the 81-player field with 36 holes left to play. The junior posted four birdies on the front nine en route to a 33 and had two more on the back before a double bogey on the par-4 18th. The England, native is five shots off the 7-under pace set by Hayley Davis of Baylor and Chonlada Chayanun of Iowa State.

The Roadrunners posted a 9-over 297, which is good for eighth in the 15team field, three strokes behind Tulsa and six out of the top five. No. 16 UNLV leads after turning in a 4-under 284, followed

by No. 43 SMU (286), Baylor (288), No. 44 Texas (291), Tulane (291) and No. 36 Iowa State (291).

UTSA Soccer Roadrunners fell at Western Kentucky on Sunday, 3-1.

Senior forward Happy Orere-Amadu notched her first goal of the fall, but Western Kentucky jumped out to a 2-0 lead and came away with a 3-1 win over UTSA in Conference USA action on Sunday afternoon at the WKU Soccer Complex.

Sophmore Goalie Katherine Tesno made six saves for the Roadrunners (5-8-1, 1-5 C-USA), who dropped their fourth consecutive contest. UTSA finished with 18 shots, including a match-high seven attempts from OrereAmadu.

Freshman midfileder Gracie Knight picked up her first point of the season with an assist to Orere-Amadu and the senior put UTSA on the board. She became the 10th player this season to score and provided the Birds with their first goal since a 3-0 win at Middle Tennessee on Sept. 28.

UTSA will look to snap its skid Sunday, Oct. 19 when it travels west for a matchup at UTEP (9-5-2, 3-2-1 C-USA).
