This application is related to Ser. No. 07/865,935 filed on Apr. 9, 1992.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to motor vehicle brake lights and more specifically it relates to an emergency deceleration warning light device. Even more specifically, it relates to an emergency brake light device that responds to the pressure within the brake cylinder and, when a predetermined threshold has been reached, activates a time delay that in turn activates a flashing, distinctive light on the rear deck of the vehicle to warn a following driver that a large change in velocity is occurring. More generally, the present invention could be used in a wide variety of applications wherein the braking system has a hydraulic cylinder to transmit the brake pedal force to the various brake drums. The variously colored warning lights could be mounted on a motorcycle, for instance, or on myriad types of construction or earthmoving equipment.
Thus it can be seen that the potential fields of use for this invention are myriad and the particular preferred embodiment described herein is in no way meant to limit the use of the invention to the particular field chosen for exposition of the details of the invention.
A comprehensive listing of all the possible fields to which this invention may be applied is limited only by the imagination and is therefore not provided herein. Some of the more obvious applications are mentioned herein in the interest of providing a full and complete disclosure of the unique properties of this previously unknown general purpose article of manufacture. It is to be understood from the outset that the scope of this invention is not limited to these fields or to the specific examples of potential uses presented hereinafter.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Rear end collisions are one of the most common traffic incidents. Many of them are caused simply because the driver following a decelerating vehicle cannot gauge the amount of ΔV being dropped. The present invention is directed towards addressing this problem by providing a clear indication on the rear of the vehicle that a large amount of braking force is being applied, thus allowing the following driver to react. A number of U.S. Patents relate to this field and they are discussed hereinafter:
First is U.S. Pat. No. 3,708,782 issued on Jan. 2, 1973 to Takakazu Mori. This discloses an abrupt brake application indicator wherein a pair of switches, the first activated by minimal movement of the brake pedal and the second when a predetermined amount of movement or predetermined amount of hydraulic pressure, are activated in turn. A time threshold is maintained and the activation of the second switch is compared to this threshold. If the second switch activation falls within the threshold, a second lamp, increasing the brightness of the brake light, is turned on. Alternatively, a single filament lamp may be supplied with additional voltage or a flasher is activated. This is dissimilar from the present invention in that there is no showing of the contrasting color warning light that makes the present invention a more attention drawing warning system.
Next is U.S. Pat. No. 3,827,522 issued on Aug. 6, 1974 to Kenneth M. Krause. This discloses a fluid pressure actuated brake light switch wherein a piston and switch plunger activate the taillights of a vehicle whenever the pressure in a relief valve manifold of the hydraulic system exceeds a predetermined level. Unlike the present invention, there is no teaching of the time delay or the contrasting warning flasher coloring.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,939,316 issued on Feb. 17, 1976 to Edward J. Stropkay discloses a panic stoplight system with a fluid pressure switching device. In this device, the fluid pressure activates switches to flash warning lights. Controlling the bleed rate of the fluid out of the actuating chamber allows the warning lights to keep flashing even after the panic braking has stopped. This is clearly unlike the present invention in that there is no time delay before the warning lights are activated and neither is the contrasting color of the warning light disclosed.
Next is U.S. Pat. No. 4,231,013 issued on Oct. 28, 1980 to William H. Freeman et al. This is a vehicle brake light illumination system. The brightness of the brake light varies according to the pressure in the brake fluid line. This is unlike the present invention in that no timing delay is disclosed for the warning light.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,920,330 issued on Apr. 24, 1990 to Lisio Plozner discloses a mercury inertial transducer with a light emitting indicator. Though Plozner teaches a central light located on the rear deck of a motor vehicle that has a contrasting warning color, the light does not flash on and off as in the present invention, nor is a time delay taught.
Lastly, U.S. Pat. No. 5,150,098 issued on Sep. 22, 1992 to Robert Rakow discloses a brake signaling system. A sequential series of lights is taught, with the lights activated one after the other as the pressure within the hydraulic system increases. This is unlike the present invention in that there is no teaching of either the time delay, the flashing of the warning light when a large amount of pressure is applied to the brake, nor the contrasting color of the warning light.
None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed.
Briefly, the invention comprises a pressure switch in fluid communication with the master hydraulic brake cylinder. When the pressure reaches a predetermined level that is representative of panic or emergency braking, the pressure switch activates a delay and timing relay that, after a suitable interval, turns on a contrasting flashing warning indicator on the rear deck of the motor vehicle to warn a following driver of the rapid deceleration.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide a new and improved emergency brake lighting system which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art in a simple but effective manner.
It is a major object of this invention to provide a vehicle deceleration warning light that directs a flashing, distinctive, contrasting color to the rear of a motor vehicle when a large amount of pressure is applied to the brakes.
It is another object of the invention to provide a vehicle deceleration warning light wherein the indication of emergency braking is derived from monitoring the hydraulic pressure of the master cylinder.
It is another object of the invention to provide a vehicle deceleration warning light wherein a small time delay exists between the activation of the pressure monitoring switch and the flasher relay to prevent spurious energizing of the warning flasher.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a vehicle deceleration warning light wherein the warning flasher is activated for a predetermined amount of time to caution drivers to the rear of the vehicle that recent deceleration has occurred.
Finally, it is a general goal of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof in an apparatus for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
The present invention meets or exceeds all the above objects and goals. Upon further study of the specification and appended claims, further objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art.
Various other objects, features, and attendant advantages of the present invention will become more fully appreciated as the same becomes better understood when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters designate the same or similar parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
FIG. 1 is an environmental perspective view of the present invention installed in a motor vehicle and being used therein.
FIG. 2 is a partial enlarged perspective view of the rear deck of a motor vehicle showing the warning light assembly mounted thereon.
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic view of the present invention partly in perspective and partly in elevation, with parts broken away and in section, showing relevant portions of the hydraulics, the brake system, and the electrical circuitry.
Turning to FIGS. 1 and 2, the emergency brake light indicator 10 is mounted on the rear deck 42 of a motor vehicle 12. The indicator 10 consists of a housing 52, made of a suitably strong material such as a polymer. The indicator 10 is similar in many respects to a conventional rear deck mounted brake light system, but the differences will be discussed further below.
Turning to FIG. 3, the discussion now turns to the overall operation of the instant invention. The vehicle 12 has a brake system that includes a master hydraulic cylinder 16. There is a brake fluid reservoir 18 connected to the cylinder 16. Additionally connected to the master cylinder 16 is a hydraulic pressure switch 58. This pressure switch 58 is adjusted such that when the pressure in the master cylinder 16 reaches or exceeds a predetermined level, a connection is closed between the battery 32 and the emergency brake light indicator 10, as will be discussed in more detail below. The vehicle 12 is equipped with the standard brake indication devices: tail lights 34 mounted proximate the rear 36 of the vehicle 12. These tail lights 34 are activated by a conventional switch 38 that is triggered by the movement of the brake pedal 20. Movement of the brake pedal 20 increases the pressure in the master cylinder 16 and thus provides hydraulic fluid pressure to the rear wheel brakes 24 through hydraulic line 22 and the front wheel brakes 28 through hydraulic line 26. Though the hydraulic pressure switch 58 is shown as being placed in or adjacent to hydraulic line 26, it should be understood that it could easily be placed in or adjacent to the hydraulic line 22, or could simply be tapped into master cylinder 16.
The discussion now turns to the operation of the present invention. As the driver (not shown) of the vehicle 12 brakes normally, the tail lights 34 are supplied with current from the battery 32 through activation of the switch 38. If, however, the brake is forcefully pressed, as would occur in an emergency situation, the hydraulic pressure in the master cylinder 16 would rise above the predetermined level that activates switch 58 and allows the signal to pass to the delayed switch and latched flasher unit 50. The delayed switch and latched flasher unit 50 firstly provides a delayed switch means that prevents activation of the emergency indicator 10 from a spurious or unintentional pressure spike in the hydraulic system. The switch is delayed from opening for a predetermined period of time (three tenths of a second, for example) until it allows power to flow to the indicator 10. Additionally, the switch 50 includes a latched flashing means that provides power to the emergency indicator 10 for a predetermined length of time (ten seconds, for example). This aids the drivers following the vehicle 12 in observing that an emergency deceleration has currently been made.
The discussion now turns to the details of the emergency indicator 10. As mentioned above, the indicator housing 52 is preferably made of a durable polymer material. There are three compartments 66 (shown in FIG. 3) within the housing 52 that each contain a light bulb 68. The bulbs 68 are preferably of the commonly available type similar to those in tail lights 34. Auxiliary tail light units 60 are located at distal ends of the housing 52. These auxiliary units 60 are wired to light along with the tail lights 34. Red tinted translucent sheeting 72 covers the bulbs 68 to form the auxiliary units 60. Lying between the two auxiliary tail light units 60 as defined by inner partitions 64 is a light bulb 68' that is connected to the delayed switch and latched flasher unit 50. The light 68' can be seen substantially throughout a 180 degree arc to the rear of the vehicle. There is a tinted translucent sheet 70 placed proximate the bulb 68' and facing the rear of the vehicle 12 that is a contrasting color from the sheets 72 and the tail lights 34. In the preferred embodiment, the color of this sheet 70 is blue. Thus, when the latched switch is activated, the bulb 68' flashes for a predetermined amount of time, and the driver in a following vehicle 56 is forewarned that force amounting to a panic or emergency stop has been applied to the brakes of the vehicle 12.
A list of reference numerals for the preferred embodiment of the present invention follows:

The Women of Mormondom, p. 200; "Who shall number the blasphemies of the sectarian churches against our first grand parents? Ten thousand priests of the serpent have thundered anathemas upon the head of "accursed Adam."
Appalling, oftentimes, their pious rage. And Eve the holiest, grandest of Mothers has been made a very by-word to offset the frailties of the most wicked and abandoned. Very different is Mormon theology! The Mormons exalt the grand parents of our race. Not even is the name of Christ more sacred to them than the names of Adam and Eve." – Eliza Roxcy Snow

text: George Lucas birthed one of Hollywood's biggest franchises: 'Star Wars.' He is also a Modesto boy who made good. Lucas' parents ran a stationary store in the small dusty town 300 miles north of Los Angeles. Lucas attended junior college in Modesto before moving over to USC where his filmmaking skills caught Hollywood's eye and landed him a plum position as a production assistant on Francis Ford Coppola's 'Finian's Rainbow.' He worked his way up and founded Lucasfilm, his production company, in 1971. Lucas built his fortune thanks to a knack for securing toy rights to movies and an eye for vertical integration: when Lucas needed special effects for 'Star Wars,' he started his own special effects company Industrial Light & Magic in 1975. Lucas sold LucasFilm to Disney in 2012 for some $4 billion, essentially retiring from filmmaking. His latest post-film endeavor is the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which is slated to open in Chicago in 2018 but faces setbacks from a lawsuits that claims it does not serve the public. The museum will feature pieces from Lucas' private collection including several Maxfield Parish paintings and old Mad Magazine covers. [...] more

Objective To assess the level of public support for tobacco control policies and to discuss how these findings could be used to influence the legislative process in the passing of tobacco control law in the country.
Methods A cross-sectional study conducted in Kenya between March and May 2007 on a random sample of 2021 (991 men and 1030 women) respondents aged 18 years and above. Interviews were done using a structured questionnaire by a research consultancy firm with long-standing experience in public polling.
Results The majority of respondents supported tobacco control policies as proposed by WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. For example, 95% of the respondents supported smoking restrictions in all enclosed public places and workplaces, 94% supported visible health warnings on tobacco product packages, 83% supported a ban on advertisements of cigarettes and tobacco products and 69% supported a ban on sponsorship of events by tobacco companies. However, 60% perceived that there was very little commitment by legislators to tobacco control.
Conclusions There was overwhelming public support for tobacco control policies and a general view that government was not doing enough in implementing policies to protect the public from tobacco harm. This public opinion poll was used as an advocacy tool to generate support among legislators for national tobacco control law.

Ratings for Dr. Elizabeth Haddad
I have had 2 scopes done by her and have never had a problem, she is wonderful. A very busy woman too. Had to wait about an hour to see her but that was ok and I knew this in advance so could be prepared
Wonderful surgeon. Very helpful, considerate and kind.
Excellent Surgeon. Punctuality didn't get top marks, but then again, if you want the BEST, you need to be patient and willing to wait your turn. I trust Dr Haddad explicitly. Very grateful to have such a wonderful, caring woman as my surgeon!
Dr. Hadda is a caring professional who takes time to ensure that you feel you are in good hands. That's rare in today's system.
Excellent preparation and the procedure was most satisfactory.
I was diagnoised with breast cancer and had my right breast removed by Dr Haddad. I went back to Dr Haddad 2 wks later to hear the pathology report. I got the all clear, no cancer had spread any further. I am very pleased with Dr Haddad's work, such a professional person and caring woman. Grateful to have had her as my surgeon.
Excellent doctor. Very gentle. Very knowledgeable. Kind hearted. Doesn't rush you. Excellent staff too. Thank you for everything.
Awesome Doctor very knowledgeable great with patients with positive results
A few months after loosing my uncle to stomach cancer I began to have digestive problems myself. After a very scary bout of diverticulitis she had a scope booked the following month once that cleared up. A week before the appointment I lost my dad to stomach cancer as well. She booked a stomach scope on the same day as the other one and was very supportive and provided me with great information to put my mind at ease. She was able to identify a longstanding problem and offered some very useful solutions. She also found pre-cancerous intestinal polyps but was very re-assuring and clearly spelled out the steps needed to stay healthy. I'm very happy with her help and concern through the whole ordeal.

Report and photos by Marcel Hundscheid
Once a year the Royal Motor Union Liege organises the RMU Classic at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit, held 21-23 May, 2010. A real tribute to the past on a track that is also known as a sanctuary to motorsports. The RMU Classic is a meeting primarily reserved for old racing cars, and just like during former editions once again managed a great line-up of beautiful historic racing cars.
Headline races held during the RMU Classic weekend were FIA Historic F1 Championship, BOSS GP, Group C, Orwell Supersports Cup, Historic Formula 2 Championship, Classic Formula 3 and the FIA Lurani Throphy for Formula Junior Cars. Other series entered this year were the Formula Ford Kent, Classic Racing League (open for GT and Touring Cars from the sixties and seventies) as well as the French Saloon Car and Maxi 1000 Trophy.
Once again the RMU Classic proved to be a real treat for drivers and crowd and is without doubt one of the main historic events in Europe. The next historical race meeting at Spa-Francorchamps will take place during the first weekend of July, known as the Spa Summer Classic.
FIA Historic F1 Championship
One of the crowd-pullers was the 2nd round of the FIA Historic Formula One Championship. Some 21 cars were entered for the second race of the 2010 season. Pole position was claimed by Bobby Verdon-Roe´s McLaren MP4/1B, a car formerly raced by Niki Lauda. Second place on the grid came to the Brabham BT49C-10 of Spaniard Joaquin Folch. From the start Bobby Verdon-Roe took the lead in front of Folch, treating spectators with an exciting 10 lap race. During the final stages Folch overtook Verdon-Roe and claimed victory with a lead of only 0.4 of a second. Third place on the podium was claimed by Steve Hartley with his Arrows A4-4.
BOSS is an abbreviation for Big Open Single Seater, a new European series open to Formula One cars built from 1990 to 2005, Champcars and Indycars, as well as Formula 3000, World Series Nissan and Renault cars. Fifteen cars were entered for the second round of the championship. Dutchmen Klaas Zwart took both pole positions in his Ascari-Benetton B197 and finally won both races on Saturday and Sunday.
Group C Racing
Group C Racing held their dress rehearsal at Spa, due to the fact that this series will participate in the Le Mans Classic, held from 9-11th july 2010. Twenty-two cars were entered for their first race of the season, a very nice field which some cars never seen before in this series. Nathan Kinch was the fastest man on the track and claimed the pole position with his Spice-Chevrolet SP92 with a time of 2.08.428. Two beautiful Mercedes-Benz C11s were entered, one driven by German Christian Glasel while the second car was in the hands of US citizen Aaron Hsu. Sad enough a lot of cars didn't make it to the end of the 1 hour race. Both the Mercedes of Christian Glasel and the Spice-Pontiac of Stefano Rosina and Giorgio Mondini suffered from a blown engine. In the end it was Paul Livesey winning the first race in his Spice SE89, in front of Richard Eyre (Jaguar XJR16) and Paul Whight (Aston Martin AMR1).
During the second race on Sunday Aaron Hsu was the man to beat in his extremely fast Mercedes-Benz C11, claiming victory with a gap of no less than one lap! David Mercer managed to gain the second place in a Spice SE90, in front of Steve Tandy in his Porsche 962C.
Orwell Supersports Cup
Sportscars from the sixties and seventies compete in the Orwell Supersport Cup. In this class cars from the Can-Am era can be seen in action, as well as the 2 Litre Sports Cars raced during the same period. Just sixteen cars were entered for the second race of the championship at Spa, including four former Can-Am Sports Cars. Timo Scheider was the fastest man on the track in his Lola T222, followed by the bright red March 707 of Matteo Tullio. In this order both drivers finished also their first race on Saturday. British driver Doug Hart claimed a third spot in his March 75S.
During the second race on Sunday both Scheibner and Tullio collided leaving John Grant alone in front in his splendid looking McLaren M8C/D. Scheibner and Tullio entered the pits with damaged cars. Just eleven cars made it through the finish. Chevron B19 driver Martin O'Connell finished second, Doug Hart could claim a second podium taking third place.
Historic Formula 2 Championship
The British Historic Sports Car Club organises a.o. the historic F2 championship. During the RMU weekend at Spa two races were held. Matthew Watts was the winner of the first race in a March 772, followed by the March 782 of Peter Meyrick. Swiss driver Hans Peter finished third in a Ralt RT1. Watts claimed another victory during the second race, thirteen seconds ahead of Martin Stretton's March 742. Peter Meyrick had a splendid weekend finishing for a second time on the podium, taking the third spot.
Formula 3 Classic
A historic series from France is the Formula 3 Classic presenting no less than 36 cars on the grid featuring Ralts, Chevrons, Dallaras and March formula 3 cars. Spectators could see F3 cars driven originally by Alain Prost, former F1 world champion and Andrea de Cesaris, former Italian F3 driver.
FIA Lurani Throphy for Formula Junior Cars
Brabham BT6, Lotus 22 or 27, just a few types of the thirty-two cars that were entered for the FIA Lurani Throphy. The series is especially open for Formula Junior cars from the sixties, giving the crowd a perfect taste how single seater racing looked some fifty years ago. Pierre Tonetti claimed victory in his Brabham BT6 during the first race on Saturday, Christoph Burkhardt was the fastest driver during the second race in his Lotus 22.

Might & Magic: Heroes VI
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Might & Magic Heroes VI is a real-time strategy game, a dying breed but one that remains popular among the most seasoned gamers. This kind of game is notoriously challenging because it requires such focus and strategy that only a truly dedicated player will be able to succeed. This game contains warfare involving humans and creatures with nonstop attacks between the two sides, though during real-time combat this depiction is almost always zoomed out and not the focus of attention. There are some cutscenes, however, that depict close-range violent content. There are also some instances of profanity and sexual innuendo in the dialogue.
User reviews

What's it about?
MIGHT & MAGIC HEROES VI puts players in a fantastical world called Ashan. When players aren't battling hordes of enemy troops and figuring out the most cogent war strategy, they must build cities, explore the environment, and keep everything as strong and updated as possible. There are many factors to keep in check and it makes the game suitable for only the most dedicated players.
Is it any good?
Might & Magic Heroes VI is the latest in the long-running real-time strategy (RTS) series. The storied franchise has a strong and loyal following, but has historically been focused on catering to the hardcore gaming crowd. RTS games are known for being difficult, time-consuming, and mentally challenging. That said, those gamers who are dedicated enough will find this to be an ultimately rewarding experience with great visual effects. The slew of options for battle strategy and city building will be a delight to the select audience that can truly enjoy the game. It isn't for everyone, but those players for whom this game is designed will likely thoroughly enjoy it.

'Hating Breitbart' director to debate ACORN founder
Milwaukee native Andrew Marcus, whose documentary "Hating Breitbart" played in theaters last year, will debate the founding organizer of ACORN, the group Andrew Breitbart famously took on.
The debate with Wade Rathke - scheduled to air and stream online on Rathke's radio show on KABF-FM in Little Rock, Ark., where ACORN was founded - is scheduled for 10 a.m. May 17, according to a release from the movie's publicist. That same day, "Hating Breitbart" is scheduled to get a return trip to theaters (although as of Tuesday, none of those theaters is in Wisconsin) before coming out on DVD May 21. »Read Full Article

(2) Anyway, I'm at V3NUS' house right now. We have another day or so before we head to the city for Digital Life. Last night we went to the Xbox360 preview event and played some of the games that everyone is drooling over:
Perfect Dark Zero- The game is even better than what was shown on the MTV debut back in May. With Halo-like graphics and AWESOME weapons, I think all PD fans and newcomers will have a blast with the multiplayer. Being that I play competitively, I was more interested in the multiplayer features than anything else. However, I also played this game in single player and was just as amazed. This game is on my top 5 list for release titles.
Call of Duty 2- Number 2 on that list is Call of Duty 2. I played the original Call of Duty on PC for quite a while, so naturally I'm keeping an eye out for the console version. I had a chance to walk through the game with one of the main developers of CoD2 and he showed me some cool tactics on its engine. If I were to guess which FPS my clan would make its next division in, I would say this game is it. This is the ultimate hardcore FPS for competition. The 3rd Party Product Manager for Xbox was very excited to share his thoughts on the single player mode. He suggests to "play it on Veteran mode first. It's the most intense FPS experience."
Elder Scrolls: Oblivion- Ah, I can't say much about this ONLY BECAUSE every time I tried to sit and play... something would detract my attention. This was the most popular game at the party. Everyone wanted to sit down with Bethesda's prized title "Oblivion." When I finally had the chance to sit down and create my character, Peter Moore (Corporate Vice President for Xbox) snuck in beside me for a picture. Quickly, everyone surrounded the area and the attention was taken away from the game for the rest of the night.
Kameo- WOW! What can I say about this one? I'm not normally an adventurer but no other adventure game has had the zing that Kameo zaps you with. When PMS had their private tutorial on this game, we were walked through some pivetal points in the story and gameplay. WOW! Again, nothing I can say will do this any justice. The fantasy feeling of Kameo is euphoric; the nature is billowing with bright light and the enemies are like creatures from a dream. Everyone has to play this game, whether they like adventure games or not. It's on my top 5 list of release titles.
Project Gotham Racing 3- Last, but not least (and certainly not the end of the list of games that were previewed), this 3rd edition of PGR is absolutely ground-breaking. With their new "Gotham TV" Live feature, this will certainly put a new twist on the competitive racing scene. You can spectate races, get live news about changes in the leaderboards and record-setters, and of course the Kudos are the same. There are 80 vehicles (all top-of-the-line) in 5 classes. AHHH, I've never been so excited about a racing game. I normally don't play them but now I can't wait to get my hands on a copy.
(3) Picture-sharing time:
Taking pics with the 360 controllers.
V3NUS and I play Call of Duty 2.
I met the best diva on 1up!
We partied with Tecmo's Associate Producer.
We had a long train ride home.
(4) MAJOR NELSON! - I want to thank Major Nelson for taking his time to look for PMS and inviting us to the party. He knows how hardcore Xbox we are, so the experience was truly a blast. He was constantly moving around and about, so we didn't manage to catch a snapshot. But... maybe the next party will entail so much more!

Free Running / Parkour games
Group DescriptionGames incorporating the sports of free running as a major gameplay element, where a city of rural landscape is used to perform acrobatic movements. This also includes parkour, where speed and efficiency are more important than the aesthetic execution. This group does not include platform games such as Tomb Raider or Prince of Persia where free running itself is not the most important aspect.

Kansas State is playing as good as anyone in the Big 12 the last three weeks; on both sides of the ball. On offense, the Wildcats have utilized a two-quarterback system with Jake Waters and Daniel Sams and it's worked. Although neither has put up big numbers passing the ball, they're equally capable of moving the offense with their arm or legs. Sams is actually seventh in the Big 12 running the football, averaging 75 yards per game with 10 touchdowns. Last week against Texas Tech the duo combined for four rushing touchdowns. Senior running back John Hubert ranks fifth in the Big 12 averaging 78 yards per game and is coming off a big 157-yard performance against Tech, including a 63-yard touchdown. While the Wildcats seem to do more damage running the ball, they still have threats at receiver that present a vertical threat; Tyler Lockett and Tramaine Thompson. Earlier this season Lockett hauled in 13 catches for 237 yards against Texas. The TCU secondary needs to be on high alert; especially the safeties. It will also be a tough test for TCU's No.1 ranked run defense.
2. KEEP FEEDING Brandon Carter; AND DO IT EARLY
Last week against Iowa State, Carter finally had the game TCU fans have waited to see the entire year from the junior receiver. Carter caught 6 passes for 93 yards, including two spectacular catches on deep throws. Against a KSU defense that ranks 6th in pass defense giving up 232 yards per game, TCU needs to keep feeding Carter the ball. Carter needs the ball in his hands; no matter what his issues are off the field, when he's on it he gives the Frogs their most electrifying player on offense. As Carter goes, as does the TCU offense.
Sounds simple enough right? Anytime you can have a balanced offense at the end of the day, it usually means your offense is clicking and scoring points. While it necessarily hasn't shown with the number of points, the TCU offense has shown somewhat of a spark the last two weeks moving the football. But, turnovers and penalties have killed drives. TCU can't afford to turn the ball over in their own red zone or Kansas State's on Saturday. They've made both of those mistakes against West Virginia and Iowa State in recent weeks. The Frogs are next to last in the Big 12 at giving away the ball with 24 turnovers on the year. Kansas State is fourth in the Big 12 in run defense, surrendering 141 yards per game, however, you have to go all the way back to their game against Texas to find a game where they've given up more than 120 yards in one game. In five games since that loss to Texas, they are only allowing 105 yards on the ground. That includes a 114-yard effort against Baylor, the Big 12's top ranked rushing unit. The Frogs haven't had success running the football on a consistent basis this season, but as last week proved in their come from behind win, you can't totally abandon the run.
It could be another West Virginia type game for Casey Pachall with the Wildcats strong run defense. While it's not likely Pachall will air it out 58 times, we could see a number not too distant from that. With that, the offensive line will have their hands full protecting Pachall with Ryan Mueller and his conference leading 10.5 sacks coming after him.
This is something TCU has been solid at the whole year. They will need to force them against the Wildcats, who are -3 in the turnover category. The Wildcats have the third-highest fumbles in the Big 12, losing the pigskin nine times this season. They've also thrown nine interceptions with Waters and Sams. TCU is tied for the lead in the Big 12 with 25 takeaways, including a league leading 17 interceptions. With a pass rush defense that also leads the league in team sacks, TCU will have to force Waters and Sams into bad decisions early on.
It sounds like a broken record, but TCU needs to start off with a bang. They have started well the last two games against West Virginia and Iowa State but they have failed to sustain the momentum. Against West Virginia, an improved team, it cost them a win. Luckily, Iowa State has worse problems than TCU. Against Kansas State, if the Frogs are able to find momentum, they need to hold on to it. They're playing a Bill Snyder coached team and without a doubt his players will give everything they have until the clock reads 0:00. The Frogs have to "finish" this game if they are able to get the lead.

Based on the longest-running one-man show in San Francisco history--now coming to Off-Broadway--a hilarious, poignant, and disarming memoir of growing up black in an all-white suburb In 1972, when Brian Copeland was eight, his family moved from Oakland to San Leandro, California, hoping for a better life. At the time, San Leandro was 99.4 percent white, known nationwide as a racist enclave. This reputation was confirmed almost immediately: Brian got his first look at the inside of a cop car, for being a black kid walking to the park with a baseball bat. Brian grew up to be a successful comedian and radio talk show host, but racism reemerged as an issue--only in reverse--when he received an anonymous letter: "As an African American, I am disgusted every time I hear your voice because YOU are not a genuine Black man!" That letter inspired Copeland to revisit his difficult childhood, resulting in a hit one-man show that has been running for nearly two years--which has now inspired a book. In this funny, surprising, and ultimately moving memoir, Copeland shows exactly how our surroundings make us who we are.
