For a majority of college football fans, the Southeastern Confer-

ence brings to mind two things: physical defenses and national

championships. SEC coaches, who have secured the past six na-

tional titles, believe there is a correlation between defensive strength

and claiming the crystal ball in January.

A&M defense holds the line despite early criticism

Three and out

For the Aggies to match the standards set by its competition, the defense will have to stand its ground. And so far, somewhat surprisingly, it has.

While the firework-spouting Aggie offense — with freshman sensation Johnny Manziel

behind the wheel — has drawn national atten-tion, the defensive unit under first-year coor-dinator Mark Snyder has quietly been waging an above-average campaign in a conference of defensive excellence.

Snyder and Sumlin threw a new scheme at

Texas A&M’s defensive front matches up against Arkansas during the 58-10 victory over the Razorbacks. The Aggies allowed 515 total yards and forced three turnovers.

their players, switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3 mul-tiple defense — and the personnel have respond-ed. Through four games, the A&M defense has yielded 11.8 points per game, good for third in the SEC and eighth nationally. For a coaching unit largely lifted from a University of Houston team known for a breakneck tempo and high-flying passing attacks, the defensive success is a pleasant surprise for the coaching staff. Offen-sive-minded head coach Kevin Sumlin’s team has lived up to the billing with the ball in its hands, putting up 48.2 points per game, which slots first in the SEC and seventh nationally.

Senior safety Steven Terrell said the A&M of-fense benefits the defense in unexpected ways.

Early in the semester, the campus was hit with the tragic news that a cadet had gone missing and was later found dead. Tuesday, the student body has the opportunity to come together and pay tribute to Anthony Joseph Carey.

Carey, who had been a member of Squadron 18, was reported missing before the start of classes on Aug. 27. Soon after, his car and body were found in Marlin, Texas. Once his family identified Carey’s body, the Corps of Cadets held Echo Taps

to say goodbye to one of its own.The Corps was a challenge for Carey,

his mother Carolyn Moore said. But it had been a worthwhile experience for him, she said.

“It was a huge challenge and it tore him down to nothing and then built him back up, and he just had a love for it,” Moore said. “He made friends that he knew he would have for the rest of his life.”

Stuart Scott, member of Squadron 18 and senior modern languages major, said Carey was a buddy in every sense of the word and was a solid part of the outfit.

“Anthony Carey was a mountain of a man. Nothing ever wavered him, nothing broke him, he was a rock,” Scott said. “I don’t think you’ll ever find as good a friend as he was.”

Moore said it was the closeness Car-ey shared with his friends that he valued the most.

“He would tell me every time we spoke about his buddies and you could tell there was a genuine family feel to it, and he loves the family aspect of everything,” Moore said.

A&M boosted into first place, continues undefeated streak

Another weekend brought about another undefeated stand for the Texas A&M soccer team. Despite competing in turbulent weather and hostile envi-ronments, A&M pulled off a comeback 2-2 tie at Kentucky before shutting out Mississippi State 2-0, improving to the top record in the conference at 11-1-1 (5-0-1).

“It was good to get four points on the road in these weather conditions,” head coach G Guerrieri said. “We have five home games and two road games left in league play, so we’re in an enviable spot in the overall standings with a one-point lead.”

The Aggies, who boasted a No. 6 na-tional ranking last week, outclass the rest of the SEC. As of Tuesday, only No. 11 Missouri and No. 24 Florida even hold

Students vote to fill SGA vacancies, candidates utilize social media

Voting for freshman class presi-dent and vacant Student Senate seats began Tuesday and students are en-couraged to learn about the positions and research candidates to find the best fit.

Students can vote for open Sen-ate seats in the following caucuses: freshman, off-campus, University Apartments, Liberal Arts, Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Science, General Studies, Engineer-ing, Business and Architecture.

Executive Vice President of Stu-dent Government Association and international affairs graduate student Mark Womack said he encourages every student to vote and said re-searching candidates is not as daunt-ing as it may seem at first.

Womack said researching can-

didates is easy when students real-ize they only need to research the candidates who are running in the caucuses that apply to them.

“You’re going to vote for a cou-ple of people within the college that you are in, depending on if there are spots within that college’s caucus, and a couple of people depending on where you live,” Womack said.

Students who live off-campus, live in the University Apartments, are freshmen or who are in one of the colleges with open seats will be able to vote in the Senate elections. This is the first year vacant Senate seats are being filled by vote.

In order to research candidates, Womack said students can search for the candidates through social media websites and ask the candidates ques-tions.

“The best thing to do is look at the sample ballot,” Womack said.

“The tempo of our offense and the way they spread it around is good practice for us,” Terrell said. “We feel if we can defend our offense we can defend any offense.”

Residual memories of last season’s leaky secondary remain, and critics can point to the more than 500 yards tallied by Arkansas on Saturday in the 58-10 A&M win. Ac-cording to Terrell — who picked off a pair of Arkansas passes on the rainy afternoon — the Razorback yardage statistics were all accord-ing to plan.

“Our biggest thing was staying on top of them and making sure [Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson] doesn’t get behind us,” Ter-rell said. “Overall, I think we did a good job of containing them. We knew we might give up a lot of yards but as long as we didn’t give up the deep ball we knew we were going to win.”

Senior linebacker Jonathon Stewart, how-ever, said he wasn’t happy with the gaudy yardage totals.

“We still gave up 500 yards of offense and that’s unacceptable,” Stewart said.

Missed tackles have plagued the defense at key junctures in the young season, par-ticularly in the SEC opener, a 17-20 loss to Florida. Sumlin said that comes with the ter-ritory in the SEC.

“In the league we’re in now, they are go-ing to force your [cornerbacks] to not be fi-nesse players and cover guys, they’re going to have to be physical guys and have to tackle,” Sumlin said.

In practice, forcing turnovers has been a point of emphasis for Snyder’s unit. Against Arkansas, the Aggie defense forced three

takeaways, including the two interceptions by Terrell. Sumlin said plays like those made by senior safety are integral for future success.

“We’ve been talking since we’ve been here about game-changing plays,” Sumlin said. “Those kinds of things aren’t just turn-overs but they’re game changers. We made some plays. We competed with balls in the air, we knocked down some balls and made some turnovers.”

Snyder said another focus thus far has been forcing long third downs.

“[Third downs are] the key to getting your offense the football,” Snyder said. “We want to get the offense as many touches as we can and we will get an explosion of points. Getting off the field is very crucial.”

Stewart said Aggie fans haven’t seen much of the defense, and that’s a good thing.

“We’re getting off the field at a remark-able rate,” Stewart said. “If we can continue with our velocity with stopping them on first and second down, regardless of what person-nel they have in the game, and as long as we do what we need to do, we should have control on defense.”

Selflessness matters, according to ju-nior defensive lineman Damontre Moore, whose six sacks slot him in a tie for eighth nationally.

“I’m happy that I get [sacks], but if I do my assignment right I’m just as happy,” Moore said. “At the end of the day, the goal is to bring joy and a good name to Texas A&M.”

Of note, however, is the two SEC op-ponents the Aggies have faced rank in the bottom half of the conference in scoring. A&M’s other two opponents were SMU and South Carolina State, whose offenses don’t have the potency or talent of such upcoming A&M opponents as Alabama and Mississippi State.

Cross-college collaboration helps students evolve business proposals into reality

Enterprise acceleration

To dream up a unique idea is one thing; to implement that idea, however, is an-other. Through cross-college collaboration, Texas A&M has created a business accel-erator program currently known as “Startup Aggieland.”

Created to help Aggie students bring their dreams of a successful business en-deavor to life, Startup Aggieland provides students with the right resources to boost their current business plans.

The accelerator is organized by stu-dents from various colleges across campus who are willing to dedicate their time to being part of the passion of fellow Aggie entrepreneurs.

“This is some of the most rewarding work I’ve ever had the privilege of doing,” said sophomore communications major Andrew Karl. “The entrepreneurs come in and they are passionate and excited. They believe in their idea and have a zeal for life. It’s contagious.”

The accelerator program at A&M is dif-ferent from what other universities might refer to as an “incubator.” Incubators help start ideas from their base stage, before any-thing is put into place or any work has been done toward the idea. The difference with A&M’s accelerator is the program begins helping in stages past the initial idea.

“We are here to help even people that don’t have business plans but we are not equip to do so just quite yet,” said Beau Bar-nette, senior landscape architecture major.

Karl said the accelerator program aims to provide students with the tools needed to succeed in their entrepreneurial endeavors. In the long term, the program hopes to get

Camryn FordThe Battalion

to a point where all stages of business can be served.

One of the unique aspects of this program is that it offers students office space, which saves students money that would have been spent on rent in a different office building.

All of the offices are currently occupied with eight companies that are already tak-ing advantage of the help that the students working at the accelerator offer. Barnette said they still offer services to students out-side of the offices.

“Simply put, we are a business that helps students start their own businesses,” said Kyle Yates, sophomore general studies ma-

to have a project team. Afterward, the stu-dents will complete one informal interview followed by a formal one. A panel of stu-dents who work for the accelerator will then make recommendations to their direc-tor and he will decide whether or not the student’s business will be accepted.

There is a continuous three-part man-agement class taught that has equipped the workers at the accelerator with the educa-tion necessary to help other students. The first class was spring 2012 and it focused on what an incubator actually is and how it works. The second class, which focused on implementation, was taught summer 2012. The third and final class is being taught this semester. It is specifically working on a naming contest for the accelerator and mar-keting of the accelerator.

“We really want the student body to get involved and leave their name as a legacy,” Karl said.

The whole idea of students help-ing students involved with the accel-erator has put Texas A&M on the map. University President R. Bowen Loftin has been chosen to be part of a five-person council with other university officials from across the United States to meet in Wash-ington D.C. on Monday with the U.S. De-partment of Commerce to announce what A&M is doing to foster entrepreneurship at the college level. Loftin will be representing the sector of land-grant universities.

“We currently have opened our doors in a soft launch phase this semester and have seven companies who have joined us,” Yates said. “We plan to be able to offer our full resources in the spring.”

jor. “We aren’t just with the business school or only for business students.”

Despite the fact that the staff at the accel-erator is welcoming to anyone who wants to stop by and chat about ideas, there is still an application process that must be com-pleted to be accepted into the program.

First, the student’s business plan is re-quired to be in its advanced stages. The stu-dent either needs to have a business or have a solid business plan that they are ready to begin, Barnette said.

To begin the process, the student needs to turn in an application and give a short briefing on their business. They also need

University President R. Bowen Loftin visits the members of “Startup Aggieland,” a program geared toward transforming ideas into entrepreneurial endeavors.

Stewart said if the defense focuses on key areas, their goals would be in reach.

“We don’t go out trying to make state-ments,” Stewart said. “We just go out and try to play our game. Internally, we just want to be a smart, fast, physical defense and as long as we’re doing those three things we’ll be fine.”

Terrell said the team knows its identity, and believing in that identity will determine team success.

“We know who we are, and we know how good we can be,” Terrell said.

Junior defensive end Damontre Moore and the A&M defense routed Arkansas this Saturday giving up only 10 points.

a slot in the Top 25, leaving A&M in a league of their own.

Visiting Lexington on Friday af-ternoon, star A&M forward Kelley Monogue was able to erase second-half, single-digit deficits in the double-over-time draw — twice. The match snapped A&M’s nine game win streak in the squad’s first tie of the season.

Neither team was able to notch a goal in the first half, remaining at a deadlock till the 52nd minute when the Wildcats bypassed Aggie goalkeeper Jordan Day for the initial lead. Fourteen minutes later Monogue answered with a deep 30-yard score.

With only 10 minutes remaining, Kentucky netted a second goal, which was once again matched by the sopho-

more forward minutes following. In the waning seconds of the match, the Aggies nearly pulled out a stunning victory as Shea Groom’s shot careened past the left post and harmlessly over the end line.

“It was a hard fought game and Ken-tucky came out and played well,” Guer-rieri continued. “Kelley [Monogue] scored the equalizer, we came close to getting the game winner there in the last seconds. I think a tie was a fair result for the way the two teams played.”

Days later, A&M picked up the pace on a rain-clogged evening in Starkville, downing the Bulldogs in a statement shutout. The Aggies were active early, notching both goals in the first 12 min-utes of action.

Junior midfielder, Jayne Eadie, staked the initial lead with a score in the fifth minute while Shea Groom added an in-surance goal seven minutes later. The Aggies dominated the remainder of the match, threatening on multiple occa-

sions while squelching any Mississippi State attempts.

“We did a good job of getting the early lead and controlling the possession the rest of the game,” Guerrieri said. “We knew it would be hard for Mis-sissippi State to muster an offense as it started raining harder. We didn’t want to make any mistakes they could take advantage of.”

Heading into the bulk of their sched-ule over the next seven games of the season, the Aggies look to retain their top seeding in their new league. With the possibility of going undefeated in conference play still on the table, ex-pect this team to be focused down the final stretch.

This upcoming weekend, the A&M soccer team will compete against west-ern division foe Alabama on Friday be-fore going toe-to-toe with ranked op-ponent Florida late Sunday.

“All of the candidates have a Facebook group. Every single candidate has been really ada-mant about reaching out to people.”

Womack said he thinks some people have a mis-conception about the role of SGA.

“This isn’t high school student council,” Womack said. “People make decisions in SGA that affect the entire University, that affect Uni-versity funding, that people in Austin take very seriously and that the University adminis-tration takes very seriously.”

Class Councils operate separately from SGA, focus-ing on class gifts, maroon-out and class representation. The reason for freshman class president elections being held

at the same time as Senate elections this year is because of convenience, said Senior Class President and senior industrial distribution major Trent Segers.

Segers said, “We have to elect a freshman class presi-dent, and they have to fill va-cant seats, and we both have to go through the Election Commission.”

Brenton Cooper, freshman economics major, has been keeping up with the freshman class president race.

Cooper said social media allows students to learn more about the candidates so that they can make educated deci-sions when voting.

“It is a great way to learn about that candidate, to see what other people have to say about the candidates and make an informed decision on the candidates,” Cooper said.

Cai Benavides, 1st Wing Commander and senior indus-trial engineering major, said the time that has passed since Echo Taps has allowed people to recover from the events sur-rounding Carey’s death.

“Echo Taps is something that happens the day right af-ter and people haven’t quite come to terms with what’s occurred,” Benavides said. “For Silver Taps to happen a month later brings closure to the events that transpired.”

Moore said Carey grew up loving A&M. She said one Halloween Carey even dressed up as a Yell Leader. And while nobody he visited that night knew what he was doing, Moore said he was still proud of what he was representing.

“He put on a white shirt and white pants and we’d knock on doors and say trick-or-treat and nobody knew what he was doing. They didn’t know what he was,” Moore said.

“But he was so proud to be a Yell Leader.”

Outside of school and the Corps, Carey was interested in music and nature. Moore said he was a very earthy person, constantly taking trips into the wilderness.

Moore said Carey was as-piring for a career that would keep him outdoors. He was interested in being a hiking guide or an occupation in construction management.

“He wanted to live in Colorado and do something where he would be outdoors,” Moore said. “He always told me, ‘I don’t want to be in an office all day long, sitting at a desk.’”

Moore said Carey was al-ways aware of those around him. He was always con-cerned with others’ feelings, and constantly put others be-fore himself.

“Anytime he had to make decisions about doing a group deal, he would never make a decision someone didn’t like,” Moore said. “He thought about others, to an extreme.”
