Show WWW.WSUSIGNP0ST.COM THE SIGNPOST MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 FOOTBALL continued from front the touchdown, but junior kicker Josh Kealamakia was unable to shake the last defender and was tackled just short ofthe endzone. "I thought they executed it really well, but Carlton (Littlejohn) got off his block and made a great open field tackle," Klieman said. "It was a critical play in the game because if it was 21- 14, the crowd would have gotten back into it." The failed fake-field goal would be the last time the Wildcats would come close to scoring, as North Dakota State once again came away victorious by the score of 24-7. "Two weeks in a row we got stopped at the goal line," Green said. "That can't happen." Weber State head coach Jay Hill talked about the stop, saying that they had been working on that play in practice and it was frustrating to see it fail in the game. "The dilemma we still have is we're making mistakes that you can't make against great teams," Hill said. "You can't make the mistakes we're making. We run a fake field goal right there in the end and it's wide open, it's exactly the way we practiced it, but we missed a block and we got tackled and it should have been a walk in. Those are the mistakes that are still costing us. When things are there we're not taking advantage of it." Green finished the night completing 26 of 43 pass attempts for 240 yards. It was the first time a Weber State quarterback passed for at least 240 yards since Austin Chipoletti threw for 263 yards against Southern Utah on Nov. 3 last season. Senior wide receiver Shaydon Kehano led the team with nine receptions for 88 yards. "Gotta give all the credit to North Dakota State, they're a great program," Kehano said. "We had our shots there, we had our chances at the goalline and we didn't come out successful, and we just got to work on that and get better." Kehano was 20th all time in career receiving yards going into the game, but his 88 yards receiving moved him to 17th all time (1,455 yards), passing former Wildcats Dave MacGillivray Cam Quayle and Bryant Eteuati. "(Kehano) is a heck of a football player and we had our hands full with him," Klieman said. "He made some plays that kept things alive, but we played better red zone defense this week than we did at Iowa State." Kehano was not the only Wildcat moving up career leaderboards, as senior running back Bo Bolen rushed for 25 yards on five attempts, moving him from 12th to 11th in career rushing yards (1,720), passing former Wildcat Sean Sanders (1,705 yards). Despite allowing the Bisons to score 24 points, the Weber State defense put together a good performance with some flashy plays, like sophomore safely Josh Burton's first career interception, coming on the first play ofthe second quarter. North Dakota State's next drive also ended in an interception, as senior cor- nerback Deon'tae Florence made the catch at the Weber State five-yard line. Florence's interception proved to only slow the Bisons momentarily as three plays later Green was sacked and lost control of the ball, allowing Bisons senior linebacker Carlton Littlejohn to recover the fumble for a touchdown. Junior linebacker Luke King led the Wildcats with a game-high 11.5 total tackles, including six solo tackles. It was King's second straight game with five or more solo tackles. "I will say this about our defense, I thought they kicked butt tonight on third downs. They gave us opportunities to stay in the game over and over again," Hill said. "Bottom line, there's a lot of positives. We can build on them. We can't get used to losing, that's a big deal with me and the players." The Wildcats will be on the road for their next three games, beginning this Saturday as they take on the Sacramento State Hornets led by former Weber State head coach Jody Sears. Their next home game will be Homecoming, when they host the Cal Poly Mustangs on Oct. 11. Comment on this story at wsusignpost.com ROBOTS continued from front Alex Rasmus sen, Del- linger's assistant and Weber State student, is excited for the competition begin. "I just want to see the students run robots," he said. Jacob Neumann from Sandy, Utah is going into the competition for his second time. He said he loves the building process: seeing if it works, trying and trying again. "I expect it to be pret- CHOCOLATE ty challenging, but I also know a lot more now so I can solve problems easier because I've done it before," said Neumann, hopeful for his chances in his second round of this robot challenge. The adults involved in this program have been very impressed by the bright minds of the students, and have enjoyed seeing them offer new solutions to problems that come up in their building processes. Weber State University students can be involved in the FTC through their volunteer program. Check it out at www.usfirst.org/ community/volunteers. The FTC competition will finish in February 2015.

"I think that these corporations and governments are getting away with these human rights abuses because people aren't aware and people aren't willing to speak out," Ikeda said. "You want to be aware of everything that you as an individual are doing and if there's ways that you can contribute to these global issues." The Amnesty International club works to promote and improve human rights throughout the world. "There are so many students that can make a difference," said Taylor Greenwell, the events coordinator for Amnesty International at WSU. "That's kind of part of college, to get involved, and we provide the opportunity to do that." Greenwell said he wants students to know that social injustices are occurring everywhere, not just in far countries like Africa or the Middle East. "Our hardest goal is to help improve social justice throughout the entire world," Greenwell said. "It's here in America too, and there's so many things that can be improved right here." General meetings are held every other Thursday at 1:30 p.m. in the Social and Behavioral Science building in room 237. All students are invited to attend the meetings. Those interested in the organization can also check it out at www.am- nestyusa.org. Anne Olsen, the public relations coordinator for Amnesty International at WSU, encourages students to participate in the club's meetings and activities. "We're just trying to get people as involved as possible," Olsen said. "There are a lot of things that you might not know about that can really impact the world around you. What's so cool about Weber's Amnesty International organization is that we can help raise awareness as well as provide an outlet for you to do something about those kinds of things. We do provide letter campaigns, we sign petitions, we go to rallies." The need to improve human rights is constant, and the Amnesty International club is a way to promote improvement. "There's a darker side to everything," Ikeda said. "I think it's up to our generation specifically to take the lead in saying something and getting politically involved, and I think that Amnesty International is right at the heart of that."
