Welcome to Rice Krispies Treats Day!
Rice Krispies Treats (also called Rice Krispies squares, bars, buns, cakes, orMarshmallow Squares) are a confection commonly made through bindingKellogg's Rice Krispies or another crisp rice cereal together using a combination ofbutter or margarine and melted marshmallows or marshmallow creme.
Rice Krispies Treats are widely thought to have been invented in 1939 by Malitta Jensen and Mildred Day at the Kellogg Company[2] home economics department as a fund raiser for Camp Fire Girls.[3][4][unreliable source?] Kellogg's began to commercially produce plain and chocolate-based treats under the trademark brand-names of "Rice Krispies Treats" (in the U.S. and Mexico), "Squares" (in Canada and the U.K.) and "LCMs" (in Australia and New Zealand) in 1995; however, other manufacturers had offered similar products under variant names (such as "Crisped Rice Treats" or "Marshmallow Treats") prior to this. Kellogg's also offers a themed breakfast cereal.[5]

Central Michigan Unites Over Coach and Former Teammate's Cancer Battles (DO; Libonati)
The videos from Central Michigan’s weekend at the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl played in Derrick Nash’s hospital room. The machines he was hooked up to prevented him from talking.
Stefon Armstead, one of Derrick’s closest friends on the team, showed him the six-month-old videos on his cell phone. He held Derrick’s hand and cracked jokes, but Derrick could only communicate by pointing.
“You’re going to make it through it,” Armstead said his last words to Derrick were, “and I can’t wait to be on the field with you again.”
Three or four days later, Derrick died during his second bout with leukemia.
Just 11 days prior to Derrick’s death, Central Michigan head coach John Bonamego — whom Derrick met but never played under — was diagnosed with tonsil cancer. He had first pulled seniors into a team meeting room and then told the rest of the team, Armstead said.
CMU’s offseason wasn’t exactly an offseason, more a season of grieving, healing and fighting. Since the 49-48 loss to Western Kentucky at the Bahamas Bowl on Dec. 24, former head coach Dan Enos resigned and Bonamego was hired in February, Derrick passed away in June and Bonamego is recovering from radiation treatment.
“It kind of put a little fuel up under our season,” Armstead said of Bonamego’s diagnosis. “It helped us push along, it helped us come out every day with the mindset of we’ve got to do what we’ve got to do for the team, for Coach Bonamego, because we’re a family.”

Get Brisly Estime the Ball (DO; Dougherty)
What started as a repeated slice of training camp rhetoric has now trickled into the first month of Syracuse’s season.
Hide your secondary. Hide your punter. Brisly Estime’s healthy.
Estime — the Orange’s 5-foot-9, 178-pound spark plug wide receiver — spent last year nursing a high ankle sprain. He was slowed by the injury in the five games he played, and missed the other seven entirely. SU’s offense, anemic at best in 2014, lacked a big-play threat as Estime stood on the sideline itching to be on the field.
Now he’s back and has the two longest plays of Syracuse’s (2-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) season, a 74-yard punt return touchdown against Rhode Island and an 89-yard touchdown catch against Wake Forest last week. With hybrid Ervin Philips expected to miss 2-3 weeks after undergoing a knee procedure on Sept. 8, Estime’s game-breaking ability is even more important heading into a 12:30 p.m. game against Central Michigan (2-0) in the Carrier Dome on Saturday.
Against the Chippewas, and moving deeper into the season, the Orange offense would benefit from feeding its most electrifying playmaker.
“He creates a lot himself,” SU offensive coordinator Tim Lester said. “A lot of guys, if you give them some space, they can take it to the house. Even if (Estime) doesn’t have space, he has the ability to make space, which is a very unique trait.”

Q&A with CMU Beat Writer Nate Schneider (DO; Schwedelson)
Syracuse has a shot to start 3-0 for the first time since 1991 when the Orange (2-0) faces Central Michigan (1-1) at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday in the Carrier Dome. Last year, Syracuse beat Central Michigan 40-3 on the road. Follow along with SU-CMU coverage here or on Twitter @DOSports.
To gain some insight on the Chippewas, The Daily Orange spoke with Nate Schneider, a Central Michigan beat writer for the Mount Pleasant Morning Sun.
The Daily Orange: How much stock should Syracuse fans put into Central Michigan’s close game with Oklahoma State?
Nate Schneider: They played pretty well in all phases. An offense with Cooper Rush at quarterback, his third year starting, coming into that game he had 23 (24) career starts. He played very well and kind of got the offense moving and then the guys around him. They certainly do have some playmakers. They lost a couple guys that were really key from last year’s team in Titus Davis and Thomas Rawls, but they showed that these guys can all get the job done. … He just really got the passing game going. That was really the key. They have a fairly experienced defense, especially up front on the defensive line and at the safety position and at middle linebacker. So they’re pretty experienced right up the middle. That certainly kept them in the game as well.
The D.O.: CMU has used more three-, four- and five-wide receiver sets this year. What difference has that made for the offense?
N.S.: It’s been unbelievable. Last year was mostly two- and three-receiver sets, two-tight end sets, mostly always a running back with a fullback. Now they’re using four-receiver sets, five-receiver sets, a lot more shotgun a lot more than they ever did last year. Last year, the most they ever really used shotgun was in the fourth quarter of that comeback against Western Kentucky in the bowl game. This year they’re really keeping defenses off balance. It hasn’t been totally flawless execution yet, they’re struggling to find a running game, but the passing game has done pretty well.

Throwback Thursday: When the Buckeyes Came to the Dome (eleveonwarriors.com; Gutridge)
BACKGROUND
The Buckeyes entered this game with a 2-0 record and ranked No. 21 in the country. Ohio State opened the season with a 20-19 win over Louisville. The Cardinals had a chance to win with 33 seconds left in the game, but were unable to convert a 2-point conversion.
The second game of the season added more concerns to the Buckeye faithful as Ohio State won an uninspiring game against Bowling Green. This marked the first time Ohio State played an in-state school since the 76-0 slaughter of Western Reserve in 1934. After the Buckeyes defeated BG 17-6 many were skeptical that Ohio State could beat the 8th ranked Orangemen of Syracuse. Especially because Syracuse defeated the Buckeyes 24-17 in the 1992 Hall of Fame Bowl a few months earlier.
- Eddie George ran for a game-high 3 touchdowns.
- Kirk Herbstreit completed 10/19 passes for 154 yards, and a touchdown.
- Robert Smith rushed for a touchdown.
- Brian Stablein caught a touchdown in the first quarter for the game's first score. The Buckeyes had gone 29 straight quarters without a touchdown pass.
SYRACUSE'S PLAYERS
- Marvin Graves completed 12/25 passes for 158 yards and 4 interceptions. Graves was sacked six times in the game.
- Shelby Hill led the Orangemen with 122 yards receiving for and average of 17.4 yards per reception.
- Qadry Ismail was knocked out of the game on a failed two-point conversion attempt in the third quarter.

John Cooper after the game:
"I've been in coaching a long time and I've never been prouder of a team. Our players got really fired up. They got tired of everybody saying we didn't have any speed." nytimes.com
CMU Chippewas 2015 SU Football Scouting Report (thejuice; Cheng)
Syracuse will try to remain undefeated on the season when it hosts Central Michigan on Saturday afternoon at the Carrier Dome. A win would move them to 3-0 for the first time since 1991. Here’s a quick look at the game:
NO EASY WIN: SU’s game against Central Michigan on Saturday will not be a cakewalk. Just ask Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy. His Cowboys trailed the Chippewas 13-10 early in the third quarter, needing 14 unanswered second-half points to escape Mount Pleasant with a win. Oklahoma State was just the fifth Power 5 school to visit CMU in the last 20 years, and would’ve been the first school to fall. “This is a pretty confident group,” Central Michigan head coach John Bonamego said following a 31-10 win over FCS Monmouth. “I believe that they believe they can play with anybody.”

SCOUTING THE CHIPPEWAS: Last year, Cooper Rush was mostly bottled up in a nightmare 40-3 loss to Syracuse. Rush completed 18 of 34 passes for just 183 yards, with no touchdowns. Two games into the season, Rush has shown more maturity and poise, completing over 68 percent of his passes for 553 yards and three touchdowns. But the loss of stud rusher Thomas Rawls has shown, with the team combining for a lackluster 152 yards on 62 carries so far. The Chippewas will need more from their top two rushers, Martez Walker and Devon Spalding.
HISTORICALLY SPEAKING: As mentioned above, Syracuse routed Central Michigan 40-3 at Mount Pleasant last year. Terrel Hunt enjoyed his best game of 2014, completing 20 of 30 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown through the air, and added 92 yards on 13 carries and three touchdowns on the ground. The only other time the two teams met was in the 1999 season, with the Orange trouncing CMU 47-7 at the Carrier Dome.
GAME INFORMATION: Saturday, Sept. 19 at 12:30 p.m. at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY. TV: RSN/ESPN3.
UConn Lands QB Jay Rose (courant.com; Begin)
When Jasen Rose officially committed to UConn football over Syracuse Thursday afternoon in the library at Southington High School, surrounded by family and teammates, he seemed happier to simply be done with the process.
"It's definitely a relief now that we can just focus on the 2015 season," Rose said. "No more college things. I'm happy that it's done."
He promptly led the Blue Knights to a second straight title, throwing for 3,190 yards and 47 touchdowns. Last week in the team's 54-9 opener against Manchester, he picked up where he left off, going 15-for-20 for 303 yards and six touchdowns in three quarters.
Rose narrowed his choices to UConn and Syracuse after fielding offers from Wisconsin, West Virginia, Boston College and Maryland. But he gave a couple reasons for choosing UConn, not the least of which included coach Bob Diaco, and the chance to compete to play quarterback.
