Tower Center event in 2011. Kathleen Cooper has been a chief economist at ExxonMobil, a banker, the dean of UNT’s business school and the under secretary for economic affairs at the U.S. Department of Commerce. Now, she calls SMU’s John G. Tower Center for Political Studies home. As a senior fellow and head of international political economy at the center, her unique insights and career experiences have landed her a role as an economic adviser with Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign. A doctorate in economics, Cooper’s career path was not originally focused on politics. “I was a business economist. When I first went to Washington to work for George W. Bush, it was a new experience for me,” Cooper said. Cooper, after spending four years in the Bush administration, is no longer a stranger to politics. Cooper’s role in the Romney campaign involves offering advice on critical issues for almost every voter — lower unemployment rates and economic growth. Cooper stresses two issues — tax reform and regulatory clarity — in discussing how the U.S. economy can rebound. “I think tax reform would be a very good idea. Simplifying the tax code and being especially careful about the types of regulations we put into place are important,” Cooper said. She also warned against short-term regulation and its impact on business decisions. “I am very concerned with all the ups and downs with regards to policy. Short term policies don’t do a good job of encouraging businesses to make long term investment decisions,” she said. She singled out the Affordable Care Act — Barack Obama’s landmark health care reform legislation — as a piece of new regulation that is impacting business-hiring decisions. “The addition of healthcare requirements on companies of a moderate size is a factor in reducing job growth,” she said. According to Cooper, however, tax reform and regulatory changes are not the only parts of the equation. She warned against painting reforms in terms of rich and poor and majority and minority — a recent trend in American politics. “The best thing we can do is to not get into so much discussion of rich versus poor. There has been way too much of that,” Cooper said. Cooper, the former chief economist of Exxon Mobil, one of the world’s largest oil companies, also stressed the potential for the energy sector to create new jobs. “Projects like the Keystone Pipeline should be approved and put into place,” she said. President Obama rejected the construction of the Keystone Pipeline, which planned to connect the oil sands of Alberta, Canada to multiple United States destinations in early 2012. While Cooper sees the potential in renewable energy sources, she remains a realist when it comes to the current state of alternative energy technologies. “We haven’t found a replacement yet that is cost effective. It’s fine for us to continue to look at solar and try wind but they really can’t take the place of fossil fuels yet,” she said. “We should also pursue cleaner sources of energy like natural gas when given the chance.” While Cooper has carved out an area of expertise in energy, her true passion remains international political economy. Cooper, with a spark in her voice, admitted, “International political economy is my real interest.” International political economy, a fusion of political and economic analysis, is a critical area of study for trade, finance and migration. Cooper pointed to two critical issues that the United States must solve if it is too continue to experience growth and stability. “We need to get the world back on track in accepting improvements in our world trading regime and ensuring that financial institutions, some 50 years old, meet today’s needs,” Cooper said. She is not optimistic about quick changes in international trade and finance. She believes that the weak American economy is partially to blame for slow changes in America’s trade outlook. “Americans are very afraid of trade. They don’t see the positives,” Cooper said. “They see much more when jobs are lost from imports than when jobs are gained from exports.” Cooper, a Dallas native, is grateful for her career opportunities. Now, back in Dallas, she appreciates what life at SMU offers. “I’ve been privileged to have a rich career in the business world and government,” Cooper said. “And to now be involved with a good group of people and students, I’m very pleased.” Courtesy of AP President Obama and Gov. Romney debated at Hofstra University on Tuesday night. Barack Obama back in form KATELYN GOUGH News Editor [email protected]President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney faced off for the second time Tuesday night. In the town hall-style debate, 82 uncommitted voters from the New York area provided the questions and the candidates directly. Dennis Simon, professor in SMU’s political science department, said the first debate between the two presidential candidates caused a stronger shift and greater jump for Romney than was originally anticipated. The second debate for both candidates thus held goals in propelling their respective parties ahead of the other. In repeating history, the states with the highest number of undecided voters became the trophies for the candidates. “Swing states are going to determine this election…roughly nine states are in play,” he said. Tuesday night’s session was again a second chance for either candidate to turn voters in their favor during what is shaping up to be a very close election. “Things have shifted considerably in the last couple of weeks. It’s an election that could very plausibly be won by either candidate,” professor Matthew Wilson, a colleague of Simon, said. When the deciding factors have come “down to the independents and undecided voters,” the third debate of the 2012 election series provided candidates the opportunity to either really appeal to or fall away from voters who are yet to determine their vote. “We have not made the progress we need to make to put people back in work,” Romney said. He opened his side of the debate saying that the middle class “has been crushed over the last four years” and that Obama’s policies “haven’t put people back in work.” He later emphasized utilizing foreign trade to help create domestic jobs. He said countries, especially China, would need to engage in fair trade for this to succeed. “We are going to make sure people around the world play by the rules,” Romney said. Obama answered that for American jobs to flourish, higher education would need to be “the best education system in the world.” He said that investment in engineering and manufacturing would allow for the greatest leaps in American foreign trade. Obama also promised to “continue to make [efficient energy] a priority” for America. The president asserted that the Romney plan does not account for sustainable resources beyond “tomorrow and the day after that.” When asked about tax cuts, Romney said, “I’m not looking to cut taxes for wealthy people. I am looking to cut taxes for middle class people.” He explained his plans to bring down rates for smaller businesses and allow employers to hire more workers, stimulating the economy. He attributed it to his desire to “get America going again.” But Obama called Romney out on the supposedly unexplained cost of lowering tax rates “across the board.” “When [Romney’s] asked how he’s going to do it, he can’t tell you.” Obama said. The sparring continued as both candidates approached the topic of women in the workforce. “I’m going to continue to push on this issue over the next four years.” Obama said of his promise to raise equal employment opportunities for women. Romney attributed the rise of working women to the need for “flexibility” with employers in allowing women to balance their career and family lives. “What we can do to help women is have an economy so strong hat employers are eager to have women workers,” Romney said of the economy he plans to bring. The voters did not shy from confronting Romney on their dissatisfaction with former President Bush. With the voters concerned that the same issues could arise with a president once again from the Republican Party, Romney emphasized the growth the party has made. But Obama responded to Romney’s claims, saying that “in some ways, [Romney’s] come to a more extreme place in social policies.” One such social policy approached was immigration Romney said he “would not grant amnesty to those who come here illegally,” but his party would support those following the rules. “We welcome legal immigrants into this country,” Romney said. Obama’s response geared toward recognizing flaws and working to fix them without ultimatums. “We need to fix a broken immigration system,” he said. In light of the recent attack on the American embassy, defense was one of the last topics of discussion. Despite Romney’s criticism of Obama’s handling of the situation, both candidates promised that justice to American lives lost to terrorism is their first priority. “They will be held accountable,” Obama said. The final debate will be held Oct. 22 at 9 p.m. EST at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida. Chef and restaurateur John R. Hanny III discussed his secrets he learned from working in the White House kitchen at Southern Methodist University on Tuesday evening.

He told the crowd that he had been around for a while: “My wife bought me hearing aids as a wedding gift…I brought her this beautiful horse, and she bought me hearing aids,” he said. Hanny was never the executive chef in the White House, but he was a visiting chef. This meant that whenever he was called in, he would show up and “do [his] thing.” It was shortly after receiving his master’s degree in the culinary arts that Hanny served as a food and wine consultant to the White House. Thereafter, he served as a visiting chef to the Kennedy through Obama White Houses. “I was offered the opportunity by the Canadian food journal to interview President and Mrs. Kennedy in the White House to see how Mrs. Kennedy was bringing back the French protocols,” he said. Hanny’s visit with President Kennedy and his family was the beginning of his journey with food, politics and friendships. In his book, he shares his experiences using anecdotes of state and family dinners he has attended and several presidents’ favorite recipes. “It’s not a tell-all. It’s a funny book,” he said. Hanny said that when he arrived in Dallas, he knew he had to go to the JFK Museum. He teared up as he talked about the former president, “I just want to pass on to the young people in this room, [Kennedy] was a man who was dedicated to his country.” He went on to share stories of his friendship with Jackie Kennedy. He told the audience she was a classy woman. “I had a good time with [her] until the day she died,” he said. “She never really forgot the people who surrounded her.” The chef also went on to talk about some of the presidents’ favorite recipe. He said that President Richard Nixon had an amazing appetite for sweets. “I created a cookie, and he was so happy with them. Had them every day until the day he left office,” he said. This cookie, an apricot-based dessert, was available for sampling at the event along with several other presidential favorites. After learning to cook and perfect over a thousand recipes, Hanny had to narrow them down to the 300 he wanted to publish. “It was a long, hard time. It took me several years to write,” he said. Hanny had to carefully choose his recipes, reduce them to a manageable size for the average at-home cook, cook them, and finally photograph them for his book. Shaking her head in awe, audience member Linda Ludden was amazed that chefs could deal with the pressure cooking for dignitaries. Hanny reminded the guests that everyone he cooks for is equal in his eyes, “What we have to remember, is these guys get up in the morning and get dressed the same way we do, but they are king for four years, and we have to remember that too.” White House chef shares secrets on Hilltop GEENAH KRISHT Contributing Writer [email protected]Presidential candidates aggressively clash

INTERVIEW
Fashion savvy SMU student shares her experiencesHILLARY SCHMIDT
Rebecca Marin, a junior at SMU studying communications with a focus in public relations, advertising and fashion media, has a background filled with experience that has aided in her success in the fashion industry.
How would you describe your personal style?
Feminine and eclectic.
How did you get so interested in the fashion world?
My mom started to let me dress myself at a very young age, so that sparked some creativity being able to pick out outfits for myself.
My family has a very artistic background, from music to art, so I feel that fashion was just something that clicked with me.
Where do you get inspiration?Watching people in the streets,
from magazines (Vogue, Glamour and Harper’s Bazaar) and other fashion blogs.
What is your favorite trend right now?
My favorite trend is wine-colored jeans. I really want to get a pair of those, wine colored anything, really.
What item can you not live without?
I have this military jacket with leather sleeves from ZARA that even if it’s hot outside, I’ll still bring it just in case. I love wearing it.
Who do you look to for fashion advice?
I really love Olivia Palermo’s style. She’s my favorite and I think she’s very professional. I love the way she pairs different prints together. She is very sophisticated, not too gaudy and flashy — simple
but still makes a statement.
Favorite designer? Why?Marchesa. They’re very feminine
and whimsical, and their gowns are from a fantasy. Hopefully in the future I will get to own one.
Favorite place to shop? Why?ZARA, because their pieces are
affordable, stylish and well-made.
How did you get involved?I sought out opportunities, but I
do feel that retail club and fashion
week do a very good job about advertising themselves on campus.
When I was going to be a freshman I looked over what clubs SMU had to offer and became interested in the Retail Club and I immediately emailed the contact director.
Are you involved on campus?I am involved in SMU fashion
week. I am the PR director and one of the executive chairs for this year.
My freshman year I was the fashion show coordinator for the Retail Club, and my sophomore year I was an executive chair of SMU Fashion Week and the president of the Retail Club.
Any advice for others who want to get more involved?
Getting the courage to just ask to be involved. Even if people don’t show that they need something, email them anyway. And this goes for not only clubs on campus, but for internships.
If you’re interested in working for someone [and] if they’re not saying they’re hiring an intern yet, email them anyway and show some initiative.
It makes you stand out from this crowd of people who want to do the same thing you do.
Do you have a blog or any other
personal involvement?I have my own blog right now,
it’s www.RebeccaAMarin.blogspot.com. I started this blog just to showcase my personal inspirations. It’s fashion, lifestyle, food and music,and it’s all things I like.
I don’t have a cutesy name like most people do, because it’s for myself. It really embodies what inspires me. I’ve been blogging for over a year now.
Was your blog a class assignment or something you really wanted to do on your own?
I read so many blogs, and I just said I think I can do this.
Having a blog has been really helpful for me. I think for people who want to be in fashion industry having a blog is extremely important.
Everyone has a blog, which now makes it just a starting point. When going in to the field, you are expected to have it.
So what makes you different is something beyond that. I’ve been told that if you don’t have that online presence, you’re already falling behind.
What have been your favorite experiences in terms of fashion?
All of my internships have been amazing and I am very grateful for them because they have all taught me something different and have
led me to where I am now. After my first internship at
LunaTeal Jewelry, I realized how much I love to work. And then I went on to work as a brand ambassador for Madewell.
This summer I interned for one of the market editors at Vogue.
How were you able to get internships related to fashion?
It was just a matter of reaching out. If I knew where I wanted to work but didn’t know who to contact, I would do my research. I’d look at their website or speak to someone I knew who had a connection.
What is the best experience you have gotten from your internships?
I’ve learned that it is important to work independently and not just work when people tell you to, and to take it seriously as if it were your career.
Any plans for post graduation?
I would love to pursue public relations. However my dream job would be to plan weddings. I am currently an assistant wedding planner at Sweet Pea Events.

MUSIC
Florence delights, others disappoint at Austin City Limits
Austin City Limits, one of the nation’s premiere music festivals, closed its last one-weekend festival Sunday night with an electric set by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The show was the defining moment of three day affair that included the likes of Two Door Cinema Club, The Shins, Florence + the Machine and Childish Gambino.
This wasn’t your mother’s music festival.
Friday featured a slew of big names including Florence + the Machine, Weezer, AVICII, the Black Keys and M83.
The highlight of the night was none other than Florence + the Machine. In a deep emerald gown and fiery red hair, Florence belted hits such as “Cosmic Love,” “Shake it Out” and the crowd favorite “Dog Days Are Over.”
The British songstress continually referred to the concept of “festival” by urging the concertgoers to embrace one another, throw each other on another’s shoulders and even challenged the audience to kiss
their neighbors, strangers or not. While her banter between songs was entertaining, it was the Grammy winner’s ethereal voice that truly stole the show.
After Florence + the Machine, came M83, the French electronic band that recently made ways with its song “Midnight City.” The way the band is structured, technically, allows for there to be three lead singers.
The band played its hits such as “The Aforementioned,” “Midnight City,” “Reunion” and “Altro.”
While some bands may use lighting as a supporting character in its shows, M83 created a memorizing, dazzling show that complimented the band’s techno sound perfectly.
With Saturday’s arrival came the event that no music festival ever wants to see — rain.
For a quick 45 minutes, the dark blue skys of Austin unleashed a downpour upon Zilker Park leaving the festival a damp, muddy mess.
The rain didn’t stop American indie rock band The Shins from taking its slighty soaked stage.
Dressed in almost matching (on purpose) chambray shirts, The Shins, along with lead singer
James Mercer, played the band’s most popular songs like “Simple Song,” “Taken for a Fool,” and “Phantom Limb.”
While The Shins sound was spot on and closely resembled its well-produced albums, hours before, Canadian indie band Metric seemed to be having trouble finding acoustic balance on the AMD Stage.
This technical glitch was quite the shame as the band’s hit “Help I’m Alive” came off as placid and lifeless.
While Saturday may have been a metrological mess, Sunday proved to make up for the previous day’s wild weather.
The day’s highlights included the Avett Brothers, Childish Gambino and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Childish Gambino had a perfect performance during the star-studded evening.
Just like his CD, Gambino’s sound was loud and aggressive.
The festival’s massive crowd gathered to see Red Hot Chili Peppers up close.
Even though the band’s sound was quiet (at least from our far, far away eats) the legendary rock group did not disappoint.

One thing is clear following the second of the three debates: neither Barack Obama or Mitt Romney are particularly skilled at talking about the terrorist attack on our embassy in Libya.
Obama came out much stronger this debate than he did in the first one, but that was perhaps the easiest bar he’d ever had to clear. Romney however continued to be strong in this debate, but not quite as strong as he was in the first round.
Both candidates had their missteps, but Romney had a few big ones this time around. The first of which was simply some awkward phrasing, causing Twitter to go crazy about Romney’s “binder full of women,” in response to a question about equal gender opportunity in employment. The other blunder was far worse, in which moderator Candy Crowley corrected him on his assertion that Obama didn’t call the attack in Libya a terrorist attack on the day following the attack. Romney stumbled big time on this question, and if he’d done well on it he’d have seen another big win tonight. He was forceful on his attacks on the president’s policy here, but was caught dumbstruck following Crowley’s correction.
However, Obama did no better on Libya. His messaging remained unclear, and he was unable to answer the question asked. Of course, this was the best he could do, because to answer the question would be to admit that his policy on this issue had been convoluted and misguided.
Obama also seemed to channel his inner Biden at times, especially early on in the debate. He was constantly interrupting Romney early on to declare Romney’s statements untrue, and his tone when talking to some of the audience members was off-putting. His answer to the very first question, the very first impression of Obama that people watching this debate would get, was somewhat professorial and it appeared that he was lecturing the student, which didn’t come off well.
One of the missteps from Obama was neglecting once again to bring up the 47 percent comment from Romney. He did bring it up in the very last few moments of the debate, but that could have been a much more successful night for Romney if he’d brought it up much earlier.
Perhaps the most important question for Romney to do well with was “How can you promise me that you are different than George W. Bush?” This was obviously a question in the minds of virtually every voter who is still undecided, and a good answer on this question could very well win Romney the election. He did pretty well on this question too. He was careful to differentiate himself from Bush on several key points, most notably that he would focus on small business rather than big business. This question also sparked a strange moment from Obama in which he praised Bush and painted Romney as further to the right that Bush on many policies, such as immigration or abortion.
All of this will come down to the last debate, which will focus exclusively on foreign policy next Monday, fifteen days before the election. Hopefully both candidates learn how to talk about Libya before then. They both need to in order to show themselves as presidential. By and large Obama probably halted the decline he’d seen in the polls, but the damage dealt by his first debate performance can never fully be undone.

“Before we begin: a reminder that your performance tonight is extremely unlikely to affect the outcome of the election, so just have fun with it!”
The real Martha Raddatz didn’t actually say that. It’s a line from last week’s Saturday Night Live sketch mocking this debate, but I think the candidates took that advice to heart nonetheless.
The news cycle echo chamber would have you believe that this debate was effectively a tie. Joe Biden came out swinging after President Barack Obama’s soporific performance two weeks ago, but he was overly aggressive and just plain rude. Meanwhile, Paul Ryan was wonkish and avoided specifics when outlining his tax plan.
Our discussions about who came out on top after these debates invariably center on which candidate “looked” better: who sounded more in control, who made the other candidate look bad and who looked more attractive. Historical narratives for decades have suggested that the reason why John F. Kennedy “won” in his first debate against Richard Nixon in 1960 was because he looked much more photogenic.
What about the actual content of these candidates’ remarks? Have we collectively decided that we prefer sophistry to substance? Let’s just consider a few of the misleading arguments from this debate that Politico picked up on. Vice President Biden suggested, “We are leaving [Afghanistan] by 2014, period.” That’s true of most of our forces in Afghanistan, but the president’s plan also calls for a smaller force staying beyond 2014 for an indefinite amount of time. Paul Ryan claimed that the Affordable Care Act’s Independent Payment Advisory Board (tasked with identifying Medicare cuts if the program grows too quickly) would consist of 15 members, “not one [of whom] even has to have medical training.” The IPAB is controversial, and it’s worth having
a debate about the role it will play in lowering costs for healthcare, but Ryan’s claim here was wholly inaccurate. The act states that the board “shall include...physicians and other health professionals” in addition to other stakeholders. While not everyone on the board will be a health professional, there will at least be some.
Let me make one thing clear: I am not at all surprised about these two politicians making factually misleading statements. Obviously politicians lie because it tends to work. I don’t have a problem with our elected officials trying to win over votes by saying what people want to hear; I do have a problem with the electorate letting them get away with it. Websites like Politico, Politifact, and Fact Check devote huge resources to verifying controversial claims made by candidates. Even as recently as 20 years ago voters could likely never imagine having this at their fingertips. And yet — it’s almost like none of us even care.
Maybe we’ve just grown so used to politicians lying that we’re desensitized. Or maybe, as Julian Zelizer of CNN suspected in a recent op-ed piece, it’s just too difficult to trust information when so many of the sources we use have an agenda. I would agree with such a claim. “Objective” news sources are becoming fewer and farther between. It’s much more convenient to trust news sources that confirm our deeply ingrained beliefs.
But I have news for you: facts do exist, and they do matter. MSNBC and Fox have agendas; Politico and Politifact do not. There’s no excuse anymore for letting candidates tell lies.
So who do I think won the debate last week? Easy: Martha Raddatz. She pressed the candidates, she called them on their bluffs and she didn’t let them pass off misleading talking points as answers. I only hope the rest of the American electorate acts as incisively come November.

The entire nation waited with bated breath for the debate between the vice presidential hopefuls last week.
Would Paul Ryan carry on the momentum Mitt Romney had gained during his debate with President Barack Obama? Would Jow Biden put his foot in his mouth? Would hilarity ensue?
All seemed to be likely possibilities, but in the end it was a debate of little excitement with the main issues covered being on the issues of national security, health care and the economy.
As Big Bird was the star of the first presidential debate, Biden’s teeth and hair plugs were the focal point of this debate.
While points of substance were made by both candidates, it is a safe bet that were you to ask someone what they thought of the debate, Biden’s antics would have been the first thing they brought up.
Vice President Biden laughed, smiled maniacally and interrupted Ryan in the middle of his allotted time to speak no less than eighty-five times.
While some of those on the left praised Biden for his ‘relaxed demeanor that showed he was comfortable in the debate,’ most saw his erratic behavior as distracting and detracting from the issues at hand.
Though I do have to give Biden credit. Going into this debate he had two outcomes: win and make President Obama look incompetent for his own debate debacle or lose and show a further sign of weakness in the Obama campaign.
I in all honesty can’t say that he did either. By cultivating this erratic and over the top stage personality, he managed to throw off everyone, including Ryan, and in the end it was generally agreed upon that it was a draw.
Besides being interrupted
just over seven dozen times, Ryan did quite well for his first debate of this scale. Despite struggling to get a word in edgewise, his closing remarks went uninterrupted and were by all accounts more sincere and engaging to the viewer than was Biden’s read from the script final statement.
While the debate was supposed to be between the two candidates, ABC correspondent and the night’s moderator Martha Raddatz was arguably the third debater.
Raddatz pressed the candidates for firm and specific answers when they spoke in generalities, such as when Biden said Ryan was saying just “a bunch of stuff,” but failed to curtail the vice president’s incessant interjections and on more than one occasion interrupted Ryan herself.
While her performance was a far cry from Jim Lehrer’s passive and easily ignored moderation, it was just as ineffectual if not more so as it seemed like a 2-on-1 debate with Ryan coming under attack from every angle.
This was not a debate that will go in the books as the most entertaining, the most informative or the most boring. This debate just was a debate. Neither candidate was able to secure a significant lead over the other and allowed a pair of fluorescent veneers to take center stage over issues of policy.
What was perhaps the only zinger in the entire debate was when Ryan, in reference to Romney’s 47 percent remark, told Biden with respect to that quote that, “I think the vice president very well knows that sometimes the words don’t come out of your mouth the right way.”
Even Biden had to laugh at the inopportune truth to that statement from his “friend” Paul Ryan.

Students debate the results of vice presidential debate
Vice President Joe Biden and Congressman Paul Ryan debated on domestic and foreign policy issues on Oct. 10 in Danville, Ky.
5SPORTSThe Daily Campus WEDNESDAY n OCTOBER 17, 2012
SMU trailed Tulane 20-6 at halftime Saturday at the Mercedes Benz Superdome in New Orleans, and the Mustangs’ fans were already cringing at the thought of losing to the 0-5 Tulane team. SMU quarterback Garrett Gilbert led SMU back to take a 26-20 lead with 1:23 left in the game and Mustangs fans breathed a sigh of relief.
The SMU defense, unfortunately, allowed Tulane fifth-year quarterback Ryan Griffin to lead the Green Wave offense on a 68-yard drive in a mere 48 seconds to a score, and ultimately a win that snapped Tulane’s 15-game losing streak.
“It is unfortunate and I feel bad for the kids, but when you have the issues you had in the first half, it’s hard to overcome and it’s on the road,” SMU head coach June Jones said. “I am proud that they didn’t quit, came back and showed their character, but when you have the opportunities you had in the first half on the road you’ve got to capitalize.”
As rough as the season’s beginning has began for the Mustangs, especially on offense, it is surprising that Tulane was able to put together a win against the Mustangs. Going into the game and even after the game, Tulane ranked last in the country in rushing yards per game and points per game.
Tulane did not play a stellar game. In fact, SMU outplayed them for the most part. SMU outgained Tulane 196 yards to 40 yards rushing in the
game behind senior running back Zach Line’s 177 yards rushing.
“I thought that they had a pretty good front six guys and they played well and played hard. Zach [Line] wore them out,” Jones said.
The Mustangs also held the football for more than 40 minutes compared to Tulane’s 19 minutes and 43 seconds with the ball. Tulane also struggled on third downs—mustering just three third-down conversions on 11 attempts. The Mustangs had the ball on Tulane’s two yard-line and a fourth down with a little over a minute to play in the game with a lead of 23-20. But even with Line’s big day, the Mustangs decided to kick a field goal.
“Yea we did talk about [the field goal], but we thought our defense played really well in the second half and thought they would have to score a touchdown to win,” Jones said. “[Tulane’s] field goal kicker is 100 percent outside of 40 yards so that was the deciding factor right there.”
If SMU would have gone for it and not made the touchdown, Tulane would have had to drive at least 60 yards with zero timeouts and been stuck deep in its own territory to set up for a game-tying field goal.
Either way, the SMU defense should have been able to hold a relatively inept Tulane offense out of the endzone, but Griffin added big plays in the air on that drive to total 302 yards passing and three touchdowns on that day.
Gilbert had his best day statistically for the Mustangs, but he isn’t anywhere near being where he wants to be after passing
Away from the friendly confines of Wescott field, the women’s soccer team (7-6-3, 3-2-3 in C-USA) was able to return home with a winning record after holding East Carolina to a 0-0 draw Friday night followed by a 1-0 win versus Marshall Sunday.
The first of the two contests was a defensive battle as both SMU and E. Carolina missed on several opportunities. The Mustangs was unable to cash in on any of its 16 corner attempts, including five during the extra periods.
Where the offense could not break through, the defense was up to the task as sophomore goalie Lauryn Bodden allowed zero goals through the entirety of the match
and extra time.SMU’s strong performance
supported Bodden. As 14 shots were attempted by the Pirates, only two of which were directed on goal.
Senior midfielder Mallory Baum contributed largely throughout the course of the game on offense for the Mustangs, attempting a team-high four shots on goal in 115 minutes of action.
Baum’s best opportunity for a score came late in the first period of overtime as her shot bounced off the crossbar and away from goal, according to smumustangs.com.
Neither team could break through in the final overtime as SMU added another draw to its record at 6-6-3 going into Sunday’s match against C-USA rival Marshall.
The Mustangs’ finished its fourth consecutive road game with
a defensive clinic, allowing seven shots total: only four of which were on target for goals.
The lone score came from sophomore Olivia Elliot in the 19th minute of action, ending the 174 minutes without a SMU goal. Elliot’s goal was her fifth overall and first game-winner of the season.
After the early lead was gained, SMU fought to maintain it for the remainder of the game as Bodden recorded a second-consecutive shutout and fourth of the season.
The win gave the Mustangs a winning record for the first time since late August, as the team is now 7-6-3.
The final homestand will begin this weekend as the Mustangs prepare for a match on Friday against the University of Alabama at Birmingham at 7 p.m.
SMU showcases defense, goes 1-0-1 on roadMaTThew COSTa
for a respectable 275 yards and two touchdowns. Gilbert did not complete more than 50 percent of his passes, managed just 5.4 yards per attempt and threw an interception as well.
“It comes down to Zach [Line] ran his rear end off,” Jones said. “I mean we didn’t make many plays in the passing game again, which is unfortunate, but we just got to keep trying to get better.”
This occurrence has been the story for SMU this season: the poor play of the passing game led by Gilbert. The Mustangs have yet to put together a complete game offensively and with the Houston Cougars coming to town Thursday for a Conference USA Western division showdown, the Mustangs will need to get it together.
The loss drops SMU to 2-4 on the season and 1-1 in C-USA play. SMU will need to beat Houston this Thursday to remain in the battle for the Western division title.
Q: How different is the offense under David Piland as opposed to Case Keenum?
The Cougars don’t attack defenses with the deep ball as much this season and the attack is more balanced, but otherwise there is not much of a difference. Sophomore quarterback David Piland is fifth in passing yardage in the NCAA. The Air Raid Offense is still humming along. The tempo and rhythm is the same.
Q: What has Tony Levine changed since Kevin Sumlin moved on to Texas A&M?
Most notably, the defense. UH switched from a 3-4 to a 4-3 defensive scheme in the offseason. The defense struggled early but has picked it up of late.
Q: With the No. 6 ranked passing offense, how has Charles Sims been utilized this season?
Head coach Tony Levine has repeatedly stated that he wanted to get junior running back Charles Sims at least 25 touches per game. UH hits Sims out of the backfield on designed runs. UH really utilizes
Sims in the third quarter of games when defenses may be worn down by the tempo. In the past three games Sims has done considerable damage in the third periods.
Q: Is the Cougar defense a threat to stop Zach Line?
Line is a great player and will make plays but UH has a chance to slow him down. The Cougars have linebacking corp., specifically Phillip Steward and Derrick Mathews are always in the opponents backfield. With corners the team trusts in Zac McMillian and D.J. Hayden and a struggling Garrett Gilbert, UH will probably keep a safety in the box for most of the game.

WHAT IS J TERM? January Term is designed to provide SMU students withyet another option to pursue their academic goals through a focused learning opportunity and a smaller class size. This concentrated program of studyallows motivated students to enroll in one course (most are 3 credit hours)and productively use this “down time” prior to the start of the spring semester.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE? Any SMU student in good standing is eligible to enroll in a J Term course. Please note that this is a rigorous undertaking and requires commitment and high energy to successfully complete 3 credit hoursin 8 days. Class days include nearly 6 hours of instruction as well as significant work outside of class. Are you up to the challenge?
WHEN DO CLASSES MEET? For J Term 2013, classes start on Monday, January 7 and conclude on Wednesday, January 16, with one “free” weekend in between. Most classes meet during the day, from 9 am to 12 noon and from 1 to 4 pm. A few courses are held in the afternoon and evening, from 2 to 5 pm and from 6 to 9 pm.
HOW DO I ENROLL AND WHEN? You should first meet with your advisor to select your J Term course and up to two alternate choices. Then visit the website for instructions on submitting the special J Term application form as soon as possible for best consideration. The initial deadline is Wednesday, November 21. After Thanksgiving, you will be granted course permission so you can then enroll through Access.SMU.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Students pay a reduced tuition rate of $1,100 per credit hour, same as for summer term 2012. For J Term 2013, the total cost of one 3-hour course is $3,300 and no extra fees are assessed (with the exception of travel costs and special fees for two courses). Payment is due by Wednesday, December 19, to avoid a late fee.
ARE THERE SCHOLARSHIPS? DOES FINANCIAL AID APPLY? For the first time, a limited number of tuition assistance scholarships are available for J Term. Also, most SMU merit scholarships are available in pro-rated amounts for 3-hour courses. Those receiving SMU Need-based Grant or Opportunity Awards may be eligible for grant funding of $150 per credit hour; however, Federal and State funds are not available for J Term. Contact your financial aid advisor for details and see special application forms on website.
WHERE IS SMU-IN-PLANO? Just 20 miles north of the Dallas campus, the Plano campus is located off the North Dallas Tollway at 5236 Tennyson Parkway near the Shops at Legacy and several major corporate headquarters. There is plenty of free parking available.
