As a 25-year-old, Elizabeth Smart overcame the shyness she felt when she was only 14. Now, she uses her voice to tell the story of being kidnapped and held captive for nine months. Her story, she wishes, is one of hope. Smart came to the University on Tuesday to speak about her life and overcoming the trauma she went through when she was kidnapped from her bedroom in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2002. More than 550 students heard her story Tuesday afternoon, and then around 350 com- munity members, alumni, faculty and staff heard her speak during her evening speech, said Sara Bushong, dean of the University Libraries, which hosted the event with the University Libraries Advocates Board. Throughout her speech, Smart talked with self-deprecating, humor and humbleness. She did accents of the voice of her Scottish husband and a character in her favorite movie, “Ever After,” and told what she learned from her situation and from being able to speak

By Alex Krempasky Sports Editor

The BG football team took flight in its 45-3 victory against the Miami University RedHawks Tuesday night in Oxford. “We finally, I think, played a full game,” head coach Dave Clawson said. “We got off to a fast start on offense. Defensively, to me, we gave up too many yards on the first two drives but we found ways to get off the field with just a field goal.” The Falcons started quick with a touchdown on their first drive with a six-yard pass from quarterback Matt Johnson to wide receiver Shaun Joplin. Following the touchdown, Miami came back but was forced to try for the field goal. Miami kicker Kaleb Patterson kicked a 51-yard field goal to put the RedHawks on the board. However, BG would dominate Miami for the rest of the game. BG responded in the second quarter with 17 points. The Falcons matched the RedHawks’ field goal with one of their own after an 11-yard touchdown pass from Johnson to wide receiver Ryan Burbrink was called back. On Miami’s first play of the fol- lowing drive, running back Spencer Treadwell fumbled the ball on the play and BG recovered the ball. It only took the Falcons four plays to convert the turnover into a touchdown to put BG up 17-3. The Falcons forced Miami to punt on the following drive and drove up the field to set up an 18-yard touch- down pass from Johnson to tight end Alyssa Benes | THE BG NEWS See | Page 6 BG Football Celebrates a touchdown in their 28-25 loss to Toledo on Oct. 26.
