Family AffairBy JASON HALCOMBEClem Burns is no Doubting

Thomas, but there was plentyof reason for he and wife Patto be skeptical about continu-ing their independent groceryventures in south Georgia.Person after person told the

couple the idea of running anindependent grocery store, letalone running one downtown,wouldn't last six months."People didn't expect us to

last long because several ofthe big chains came and

went," Burns said in retro-spect. "But I said, 'the cus-tomers will make that deci-sion."And in customers, particu-

larly service to his customersthat includes old-world sensi-bilities like helping folks fromand to their car, Burns put histrust."I tell my employees that

I'm not the boss, the storemanager isn't the boss, thefolks swinging open the doorare who we have to listen to,"

Burns said. "The customersare key...And the most impor-tant thing we have to offer inthis store is our people."Now, nearly three decades

ATLANTA (AP) — Choosymoms and dads may be pack-ing more PB&J in lunchesthis winter, when the cost of ajar of Jif or Skippy is expectedto fall even as other groceryprices rise.Peanut butter prices

soared last year after adrought and high heat in theSoutheast, where mostpeanuts are grown. This year,that region got a break whilefarmers in most of the rest ofthe United States sufferedhuge losses in the widestdrought in decades.Farmers are now expected

to bring in two-thirds morepeanuts than they did in2011. That could mean a pricedrop at the grocery store.“After last year’s small

crop, we saw peanut butterprices on average rise 30 per-cent or more,” said PatrickArcher, president of the Amer-ican Peanut Council. “Withthis year’s excellent crop, thesupply and demand shouldcome back into balance andpeanut butter prices shouldcome back to a more normallevel at the retail level.”A 10 percent decrease on a

$3 jar of peanut butter, for ex-ample, would translate to asavings of 30 cents. That mayseem nominal, but the impactis greater for food banks andother big buyers.Bill Bolling, founder and

executive director of the At-lanta Community Food Bank,said food banks usually mustbuy protein-rich items likepeanut butter, beans andmeat. His organization buysanywhere from 200,000 to400,000 pounds of peanut but-ter each year, depending onthe price.“If costs go down 10 per-

cent or 20 percent, we can buythat much more product,”Bolling said. A big supply alsoincreases the possibility of do-nations — for instance, a com-pany may donate large ship-ments if there is a mistake inpackaging or a huge surplus,he said.Bolling said peanut butter

is one of the most popularproducts at the food bank be-cause children like it, it’s highin protein and it has a longshelf life.Peanuts are already con-

sidered a staple of the Ameri-can diet, with the averageU.S. consumer eating about 6pounds of peanut butter andother peanut products eachyear, according to estimatesfrom the American PeanutCouncil, an industry tradegroup. But peanut buttercould become even more at-tractive as strong global de-mand, high prices for live-stock feed and a huge sell-offof cattle and other animals indrought keep pushing upmeat prices.

U.S. farmers are expectedto produce more than 3 mil-lion tons of peanuts in 2012,according to figures releasedOct. 11 by the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture. That’s a66 percent increase over 2011,when growers produced morethan 1.8 million tons.Experts say several factors

created the perfect conditionsfor a banner year. Highpeanut prices after last year’ssmall crop encouraged farm-ers to plant more; USDA fig-ures show acreage was upnearly 50 percent in 2012compared with a year earlier.Farmers in the Southeast alsogot a break in the weather.Spring came early, allowingthem to plant sooner. Temper-atures were generally milder,and thunderstorms in Augustand September provided somemuch-needed relief in theweeks before farmers beganthe peanut harvest, which iscurrently in full swing.Experts also say a peanut

variety developed in recentyears is boosting the recordyields, in part because ittends to be resistant to dis-ease.“In this south Georgia

area, we probably had as gooda growing season as I can re-member in a long time, andmaybe in my 26 years (as ex-ecutive director),” said DonKoehler, executive director ofthe Georgia Peanut Commis-sion.Georgia by far produces

more peanuts than any otherstate, though the legumes aregrown in sandy soil from Mis-sissippi to Florida and northto the Carolinas.Most farmers sell a portion

of their crop at a set price be-fore they even plant, so they’llget the higher prices in effectlast year for some of theirproduct. Koehler said thatshould offset any losses they’lltake on peanuts sold at to-day’s lower prices, althoughfarmers who didn’t sell muchin advance may have atougher time.“If they can hold some a lit-

tle bit later, it may be that themarket goes back up somepoint out in the future,” hesaid.Still, most farmers are

grateful for a decent harvestafter seeing some plants dryup in dusty ground last yearand in some cases having toaltogether abandon someacres, said Armond Morris,who farms 1,000 acres ofpeanuts in south Georgia’s Ir-win County and serves aschairman of the GeorgiaPeanut Commission.“For the last two or three

years, we had had some reallytough years,” Morris said. “Alot of things have really falleninto place (this year).”

focused approach to groceryshopping."When we first got here 28

years ago, there were six orseven stores in town," Pat said."All this time later, we're theonly one still standing."Burns' journey in the gro-

cery business began nearly sixdecades ago, when his highschool alter-ego stepped awayfrom a farm in Toombs Countyto bag groceries for the localPiggly Wiggly.Starting out as a bag boy

with the company, Burns spentthree years with Piggly Wigglybefore graduating high schooland joining the military. Fol-lowing his stint in the service,Burns returned to the compa-ny and slowly worked his waythrough the ranks.It was during those years

that his philosophy on second-to-none customer service mani-fested, helping Clem to similarsuccess at a small store inCharleston. But, by 1986, theBurns' were eyeing an opportu-nity to return closer to Clem'sold stomping grounds aroundVidalia.Statesboro had been an op-

tion. So had several othertowns within an hour or so ofVidalia. But a chance drivedown Dublin's historic districtconvinced Pat the EmeraldCity was the next stop on theBurns' grocery store journey."When we drove down Belle-

vue," Clem said, "my wife Patlooked around and said 'If thisworks out, I think I would en-joy Dublin."Pat followed that with, "God

did not put us here in Dublin tofail."The early days, like they so

often are, were tough.Long days stretched well

past sundown and the 9 p.m.close, with Clem sometimes re-linquishing his managerial du-ties to Pat for a few hourssleep, or Pat locking herself infor three hours after the storeclosed to finish decoratingcakes that became sought aftercommodities the next day.Clem said the success of

Piggly Wiggly is due in nosmall part to Pat; a fact hebacks up with story after storyof his wife's sacrifices to dowhatever was needed to keepthe store in running order."She has been very dedicat-

ed over the past 30 years,"

Clem said. "I've heard peoplesay that spouses can't workwell together, but this hasworked out well for us. She'sgot good ideas and great expe-rience. In the early days, whenI would have to go home andrest for a few hours, and wedidn't have a manager yet,she'd come and run the storeuntil I could come back."That commitment shines

through to this day in littlethings like the pair of pigs thatgrace the back half of Pat's car,or the BAGLADY vanity platebelow the bumper."I told Elisa I should give

her my pigs," Pat joked. "Butthen I realized I wouldn't beable to find my car in a parkinglot."Pat also took on the chal-

lenge of operating thedeli/bakery that nobody saidwould fly in an independentgrocery store. Even theirbanker didn't think he couldlend them money to build theaddition to the store. Onceagain, Clem and Pat listenedto their gut instead of cynicsand reaped the benefits of theirkeen business sense."I was fortunate enough to

have a house in Charleston onthe lake," Clem said. "I wantedto borrow money to put in thedeli/bakery, and my lender saidhe couldn't lend me the money.So I said, 'Jim,' his name wasJim Parks, a great guy, I said,'Jim, I've got a house inCharleston that's bought andpaid for. Got the deed in myhand as collateral.' And hesaid, 'Well, Clem, if you've gotcollateral, sure I could lend youthe money.' We put in the delibakery and offered breakfast;three or four meats, eggs. Wedid well too."So well that Pat spent most

of her workdays dishing outmeals or decorating cakes."She did it all," Clem said.

"Unlike the big chains who usethose frozen cakes, my wifebaked every one fresh andwould decorate it herself. Shewas the chief cake decorator.Sometimes I'd lock her up inthe store at 9 p.m. and comeback at 11:30 p.m. and she'd bewrapping up. People don't seeall of that work that goes into astore like this. She was a per-fectionist. And the orders keptcoming, but we ended up withmore work than we knew whatto do with."To counter all the extra

work, the couple traded out thedeli/bakery space for a largerproduce section.Years before the large

chains began highlighting localgrowers, Burns had put hismoney on local farmers as away to offer customers fresherproduce and farmers an outletto sell their yield."I think it means a lot as

you grow on a farm and realizewhat farmers go through to getproducts to the store," saidClem, himself the son of afarmer. "I've always been realsupportive of farmers. We buywhatever we can through localfarms. Local vegetables arebrought fresh and sold fresh atcompetitive prices. We buy asmuch as we can; squash peas,butter beans."Clem might even become a

supplier after he bids adieu in2013. He and Pat bought asmall farm a little more thanseven years ago, which Clemsaid he plans to use to fill someof the hours once spent pacingup and down the aisles at Pig-gly Wiggly."I've been doing this for 58

years," Clem said. "So, to all of

City Council, at a recess ses-sion held last night, voted to ac-cept a proposition which hadbeen submitted by the GeorgiaPower Company, and under thisaction the Power Company is re-lieved from the duties of erect-ing a steam plant in the City ofDublin, as originally agreed up-on by the Georgia SouthernPower Company. The proposi-tion of the Power Company en-ables the city to obtain for a pe-riod of five years a free streetlighting service, together withmaintenance, upkeep, and re-placement of the street lightingsystem, and in addition, enablesthe city to regain title to the oldpower house location, includingimprovements on said property,and also a cash payment of$2500.The acceptance of this offer

by the city represents a consid-erable amount as based on pre-sent street light expense andwill result in a saving to the cityof approximately $6,000 a yearor more over a period of fiveyears, and in addition gives tothe city the real estate men-tioned and an additional $2500.Under the contract which the

city had originally made withthe Georgia Southern PowerCompany, the Power Companyhad agreed to erect in the city ofDublin a modern steam plant,sufficient to take care of theneeds of the city. Since the exe-cution of that original contract,the Georgia Power Companyhas acquired this franchise andhas brought into Dublin by itsHydro-Electric transmissionlines electric power more thansufficient to take care of theneeds of Dublin and the sur-rounding territory, and for thisreason there was no need for asteam plant, either by Dublin orby the Power Company for thepurpose of rendering service toDublin.The Power Company had

available all necessary machin-ery to enable it to erect thisplant, but in lieu of doing so, of-fered to give to the city in itsstreet lights, real estate, andcash the approximate cost of theerection of the plant. By erectingthe plant, the Power Company,under the franchise, would havebeen relieved of any penalty, asthe penalty only ran up to thetime that such plant was erect-ed and ready for operation. Itwould have been of no advan-tage to the City of Dublin tohave acquired the erection of theplant for which no one had anyuse, and Council considered it tobe in the best interest of the cityto accept the proposition madeand get the benefit of the ex-pense that the Power Companywould have been compelled to goto in erecting the plant.Under the agreement, the

city for the next five years willhave no street lighting expense,either for current maintenance,replacement, or additions, andthis will result in reducing theoperating expenses of the city atleast $6000 a year, or more, forthe period. The city will furtherhave available the old powerhouse site, including the steampump, steam line, and boilerequipment sufficient to takecare of any emergency or anynew condition that might arisein the operation of its waterwork system.MMTT..

the community was held at theschool building, and it was thelargest and best that has yetbeen put on by the Mt. Carmelfolks - more exhibits and betterarrangement and more live-stock than usual.

EETTSS NNOOWWAccording to information

from local University of Georgiaand Georgia Tech alumni, tick-ets for the Georgia - Tech foot-ball game to be played at GrantField in Athens on December3rd are going rapidly. Dr. S.V.Sanford, faculty director of ath-letics at the University of Geor-gia, advises that no tickets willbe left at the end of the week.Alumni of both institutions andothers wishing to attend thegame would do well to rush toget in their ticket orders as soon

as possible.EELLEEVVAATTOORR BBAADDLLYY DDAAMMAAGGEEDD BBYY FFIIRREEFire starting in the shuck

warehouse of the Farmers Coop-erative Elevator about 2:45 thisafternoon burned the ware-house to the ground, spread tothe main elevator building andthreatened it at one time, andresulted in wetting 12,000bushels of corn stored in the ele-vator, besides a large quantity ofvelvet beans. An efficient sprin-kler system prevented the eleva-tor proper from burning down,and it was the water from thissystem automatically rainingfrom the roof to the basementthat prevented the buildingfrom burning during the worstof the blaze. The power distribu-tion station of the Georgia Pow-er Company, which was locatednear the warehouse, was threat-ened by the flames, and had thewind been blowing in any otherdirection but almost due north,it would have burned the powerstation or the elevator, one orthe other. As it was, the worst ofthe blaze was blown directlyfrom both buildings.However, two 44,000 volt

transmission lines passing nearthe warehouse, one going to Vi-dalia and the other toWrightsville, were threatenedwith being burned and were im-mediately disconnected at thepower station. Unless seriousdamage was done to insulatorsby the blaze, which was close tothe posts afire and at one timehad set the poles afire, theselines will be back in service bynight.The blaze is said to have orig-

inated in the shuck warehouse,which was a long wooden struc-ture. The lower end was somedistance from the elevator, butwas connected by a chute to takeshucks from the elevator intothe shuck house automatically.The fire went from the shuckhouse into the elevator, but wasstopped there from spreading bythe automatic sprinklers.Smoke and dust collected in

the extreme upper section of theelevator, and while there was noblaze in the chamber, the smokesoon had the dust very hot.When it reached the right tem-perature, there was an explo-sion of dust, and a sheet of flamespread over the top portion ofthe tall structure, looking as ifthe building were gone. Instead,the explosion merely blew thecorrugated iron sheeting fromthe outer walls and started thesprinklers to operating.As to the loss, it will be about

$25,000. No information as toinsurance was available this af-ternoon.

Clem is a touch reluctant atthe change, he said he's veryexcited to see Wheeless and hisfamily continue his three-pronged approach of offeringcompetitive prices, a cleanstore, "And by far, offering thebest service anyone will in anystore around.""Mike has worked with me a

little over two years," Clemsaid. "He has 30 years of expe-rience, and believes a lot like Ibelieve on things. But he toldme the other day, 'I have neverbeen in a grocery store that of-fers service like this one.' And Itold him, 'We do things the bigchains won't. We'll help folksout of cars, carry even thesmallest bag for a woman withchildren and try to keep thingsas clean as possible."He's really treated me and

my family like a part of hisfamily," Wheeless said. "Hecomes out to my son's footballgames, asks about how my old-er son is doing in college. It hasbeen one of the best workingexperiences I've ever been as-sociated with."And, even with more than

30 years under his belt, Whee-less said Burns continues toreaffirm his faith in indepen-dent grocery stores and beliefin providing the best customerservice possible."Mr. Burns has done such a

good job for this store," Whee-less said. "It's like I said at hisretirement party, if you dosomething you love you neverwork a day in your life. And inMr. Burns' case he loves peo-ple. He connects with people,the employees. I thought Iknew what customer servicewas, but I had no idea until Istarted working at this store.These past two years havedone me more good than any-thing and I could never thankhim enough."

"I've been doing this for 58 years.So, to all of the sudden not get up

These merchants and The Courier Herald take pride in presenting this message and

encourage you to attend the church of your choice.

In 1904 William Borden, the heir of the Borden Dairy fortune, graduated from high school and went on a world cruise to celebrate. While traveling the world, God began to open William’s eyes to the unsaved. In a letter to his mother William said

William enrolled in Yale University where he helped found student prayer and Bible study groups. He also worked with the needy on the streets of New Haven and founded Yale Hope Mission. While in school, William renounced his fortune and wrote two words in the flyleaf of his Bible – .”

After learning of the great number of Muslims in China, William felt God wanted him to go there and turned down many lucrative job offers, including the opportunity to take over the multi-million dollar family business. Determined to fulfil God’s call to serve as a missionary, he opened his Bible to the flyleaf and wrote two more words –

William set sail for China, stopping in Egypt to study Arabic so that he would be better equipped to work with Muslims. While in Egypt, he contracted spinal meningitis and died at the age of twenty-five. Many shook their heads and said that William’s life and great potential had been wasted. But before he died, William had written two final words inside his Bible, –

Although William Borden never made it to the mission field in China, his story resounded worldwide. Many people wrote letters to his family expressing how their lives had been influenced by William’s story of faith and commitment to the cause of Christ.

We are tempted to see God’s plan for us as a mystery, but it is really quite simple – trust Him with all things and trust Him in all things.

“…I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus’ name…” Edward Mote (1832),

BriefsFew things tell more about

us than how we handle ourmoney.

Jesus often spoke aboutmoney matters, because moneymatters. For some of us it mat-ters far too much. The cynicsays, "Money may not be every-thing, but it is far ahead ofwhatever is in second place."If we are honest many of us feelthe same way.

Jesus said, "You cannotserve God and Money." Howwe manage, or are managed-bymoney reveals our priorities.Dr. George Buttrick, one ofAmerica's great preachers inthe past used to say, "...of allthe masters the soul canchoose, there are at last onlytwo - God and money. Allchoices, however small, howev-er the alternatives may be dis-guised, are but variants of thischoice."

J. B. Phillips translatesMatthew 6:34 like this: "Noone can be loyal to two mas-ters. He is bound to hate one

and love the other, or despiseone and support the other. Youcannot serve God and the pow-

er of money at the same time."Rudyard Kipling, speaking

to aMcGill University graduat-ing class advised the graduatesnot to care too much for moneyor power or fame; for he said ineffect, "Someday you will meeta man who cares for none ofthese - and then you will knowhow poor you are."

KEY NOTESYou can't serve God and

money, but you can serve Godwith money.

You don't have to be a mil-lionaire to put money at the topof your priority list.

The Lord loveth a cheerfulgiver. He also accepteth from amiserly old grouch.

------What's so remarkable about

love at first sight? It's when acouple have been looking ateach other for 50 or 60 yearsthat it becomes remarkable.

Screven Rallies To Edge FalconsBy Matt Sweatt

For The Courier Herald

Kato Manner, TayeBrantley and the rest of theEast Laurens Falcons dideverything possible to ensuresuccess on Senior Night atFalcon Field, but were unableto overcome some bad luckand a tough Screven Countyteam.The Gamecocks scored on a

70 yard pass play with just1:20 seconds remaining andconverted a two point conver-sion to come away with a hardfought 15-14 victory in theirGHSA Region 3-AA game.East Laurens fell to 5-4

overall and 3-2 in the region.Screven is 7-1, 4-0. TheFalcons visit Westside-Augusta next week with theNos. 3 and 4 seed playoff spot

on the line.East Laurens dented the

scoreboard first on their open-ing possession as Brantleyraced 40 yards virtuallyuntouched for the score. Aftera change of possessions and asolid puntreturn, Screvenresponded witha 30 yard driveof their own,capped by 280-pound fullbackJeremy Smith's16-yard romp.A ball con-

trol struggleensued withneither teamthreatening until EastLaurens took over on theirown 5-yard line to open the4th quarter. Sixteen plays and8:30 later, East Laurens faced

a fourth-and-7 from theScreven County 13.Brantley swept left, was

met by three Gamecocks,pulled away, reversed his fieldback to the right, broke freefrom a certain tackle and thenoutraced the remainder of thedefense for a highlight reeltouchdown.Tanner Free's second extra

point gave East Laurens a 14-7 lead with just 3:22 remain-ing.The subsequent kickoff was

pooched in the air andScreven County neglected tofall on it, allowing EastLaurens to recover at theGamecock 37-yard line. Afterpicking up one first down,East Laurens faced a second-and-8 with just 1:40 left andScreven with only one timeoutremaining.

A late play call resulted ina delay of game penalty andthe next play saw a botchedexchange in the backfield.Screven County pounced onthe fumble and faced a 70-yard field with 1:35 remain-ing.On the second play from

scrimmage with the Falconsdefense seemingly confused,Screven took advantage andfound a wide receiver all alonedown the sideline for a touch-down.After an offside penalty on

the conversion try, Smith wasable to romp in for the twopoints and account for thefinal score.Brantley ran for 169 yards

on 19 carries and recovered afumble. Manner tacked on twofumble recoveries, and 50yards on the ground.

had some really good swings,but we just couldn't cash in,especially early when itwould've helped," said JoshCrawford, who co-coaches theteam with MichaelThompson. "We had theopportunities, we just could-n't create a run."Whitney Oliver (13-7) was

the starter and loser for WestLaurens, state runner-up inAAA last year. Northwest gotto the junior for their runs inthe second before she gaveway to Flanders, who closedout the frame.Northwest started the sec-

ond with a single and a dou-ble to put runners on secondand third. Oliver got the nexthitter on a strikeout, but theball got past the catcherallowing one run to score.After a walk loaded the

bases, Northwest came upwith a sacrifice fly and a sin-gle for the other two runs.Flanders held them at baythe rest of the way."It was a tough one," said

Crawford, whose team leftseven runners on base. "Itcould've gone either way. Webattled the whole game, butcouldn't get anything strungtogether."Rachel Gibbs and Reigh

Wilcher each were 2-for-4 tolead the Lady Raiders at theplate.

four times and lost one allin the first half. Fumbleshave been a problem thisseason, but Norton didn'tneed them against thisopponent."They're drive-killers,"

Norton said. "You don'thave a chance when yourplaying number three inthe state."In a one-sided first half,

the Bulldogs rolled to a 34-0 lead and 355 yards of offense to just 64

pinned at their own 8-yard line. RenaldoWilliams scored on a 42-yard run with6:11. Quarterback/kicker Caleb Presseyadded the conversion for a 7-0 lead.On the following drive, Johnson County

fumbled on the 20. With a turnover theBulldogs drove for score in five plays.Williams had a 1-yard run.In the second, Williams had a 17-yard

touchdown run with 5:46.Then E.C.I.'sJames Brown did a couple of numbers onthe Trojans. Brown broke through with an

Associated PressATLANTA (AP) — There

may be some nervous coacheson each sideline Saturday ifGeorgia Tech and BrighamYoung have to rely on latefield goals.The teams’ kickers have

struggled in recent weeks.BYU (4-4) has made only

one of its last five field goals,including a missed 46-yarderby Justin Sorensen in lastweek’s 17-14 loss to No. 5Notre Dame.Georgia Tech (3-4) has

made only two of its lastseven, including three missesin its 37-17 win over BostonCollege last week.Justin Moore hopes he has

a chance to end GeorgiaTech’s kicking woes. Moore,who made 11 of 17 field goalslast season, was beaten out byDavid Scully this year. Scullycould miss Saturday’s gamewith a hip injury, creating apossible opening for Moore.“I’ve been waiting for an

opportunity and it’s finallyhere so I’ve just got to makethe best of it,” Moore saidbefore adding with a laugh“which basically means don’tmiss.”Moore took over for Scully

last week and made one oftwo tries. He said the gameagainst BYU could be close,so he knows better than 50-percent success is expected.“Last season I didn’t have

the greatest season, making65 percent or so,” said Moore,a junior. “I set my goals high-er this year. I’ve alreadymissed one. Right now, giventhis opportunity, I want toshow I’ve grown a lot sincelast season, physically andmentally. Having a high per-centage would show that.”When asked to describe the

depth chart at placekickerwith Moore and Scully, coachPaul Johnson said “That’s anopen competition.”Senior Riley Stephenson,

also BYU’s punter, made fourof six field goals beforeSorensen reclaimed the jobonly to miss four of his firstfive tries.The Cougars will try to end

a two-game losing streak.Three of BYU’s four losseshave come to ranked teams,including the last two lossesto No. 7 Oregon State (42-24)and Notre Dame.BYU played close in a 24-

21 loss at Utah and a 7-6 lossto No. 21 Boise State. Lastweek’s narrow loss to unde-feated Notre Dame addedmore heartbreak.“They hurt more, knowing

you’re right there — one, twoor three plays are the differ-ence,” said BYU coach BroncoMendenhall. “But we’re play-ing good teams and we’replaying them on the road.“When I started this job to

where it is now, expectationsare even higher, schedulemore demanding. We’re play-ing better football againstbetter teams. That’s what’scoming next and I welcome it,but we have to execute at aneven higher level.”Georgia Tech ended a

three-game losing streak bybeating Boston College. TheYellow Jackets gave up morethan 40 points in each of thethree losses, and Johnsonfired defensive coordinator AlGroh in a bye week before theBoston College game.Johnson gave Charles

Kelly, the secondary coach,control of the defense for theremainder of the season.Johnson’s spread-option

offense made things easy forKelly’s defense by running 91plays and holding the ballalmost 44 minutes. Johnsonalso had a good review for thedefense.“We played better on third

down,” Johnson said. “Thatwas the big thing. Offensivelywe held the ball. That willhelp too. But I thought ourdefensive coaches did a goodjob keeping things simple andletting guys play.”Johnson said it will be

more difficult for his offense,which had 391 yards rushinglast week, to dominateagainst a strong BYUdefense. The Cougars rankfourth in the nation in totaldefense and eighth againstthe run.The only teams to gain 300

yards against BYU are unde-feated Oregon State andNotre Dame.

“They’re very physical,”Johnson said. “They run tothe ball. They’re well-coached. They play welltogether as a team, andthey’ve been really goodagainst the run.”Mendenhall said he enjoys

the challenge of devising adefense to stop Georgia Tech,the first option offense to playthe Cougars since Air Force in2010.“I have good and bad days

with defending the option,” hesaid. “More good than bad,but when you’re playing wellit’s very gratifying. Whenyou’re not, you’re helpless. Sothere is an extra sense ofurgency but I like the chal-lenge.”BYU senior quarterback

Riley Nelson has eight inter-ceptions with three touch-down passes in his last threegames. Overall, Nelson haspassed for 1,236 yards witheight touchdowns and 10interceptions.“I still think we’re gaining

momentum and makingprogress, and Riley is leadingus while we do it,”Mendenhall said. “It mightnot be the prolific break-through that people want.But I still see us inching real-ly close to breaking through.”Georgia Tech quarterback

Tevin Washington has been amore effective passer this sea-son, but the senior is stillmore likely to run than pass.He has 111 carries for 471yards and 15 touchdowns andhas completed 53 of 86 passesfor 887 yards with four touch-downs and two interceptions.

No. 3 Florida Looks To AvengeAnother 2011 Loss Playing Georgia

Associated PressJACKSONVILLE, Fla. —

Florida defensive endDominique Easley has beenholding some late-night studysessions this week.At home. All alone. And with

the TV on.The subject? Georgia.

Specifically, the Bulldogs’ 24-20victory over the Gators lastseason in Jacksonville. Georgiaconverted three fourth downs,including two for touchdowns,and held the ball for the final 5minutes, 32 seconds of theclose game.Easley has watched every

painful second repeatedly thisweek — for preparation andmotivation.“It’s like you’re going to

watch a video clip of you get-ting punched in your face overand over again,” Easley said.“You’re going to get mad everytime you watch it.”That could be good for No. 3

Florida. The Gators have beenat their best when trying toavenge last year’s losses. First,LSU. Then, South Carolina.No. 12 Georgia could be

next.And Florida has way more

at stake in this one.The Gators can clinch the

SEC’s Eastern Division with awin and earn a spot in theleague title game in December.“This is everything this

week,” Florida guard JamesWilson said.The Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1),

meanwhile, would take com-mand in the East with a victo-ry. Georgia likely would need towin remaining conferencegames against Mississippi andAuburn to wrap up the divisionand a trip to Atlanta.“Obviously, we have a couple

of more SEC games after this.... But to be able to put our-

selves in a situation with achance to play in Atlanta, Ithink any of us would’vejumped on this equation in aheartbeat,” Georgia quarter-back Aaron Murray said.“We’re excited for this opportu-nity.”Georgia enjoyed a victory in

the series last year, but has lost18 of the last 22 meetings in aheated rivalry played at a neu-tral site with the St. JohnsRiver as a scenic backdrop.Hurricane Sandy could take

center stage Saturday.As the storm makes its way

up the East Coast, forecastersare calling for a 40 percentchance of rain in Jacksonville,25 mph wind and gusts reach-ing nearly 40 mph.That would seemingly favor

Florida, which has had themore effective rushing attackthis season and has a decidedadvantage in the kicking game.But trying to predict the

outcome this series usuallybackfires.Georgia has spoiled things

for Florida countless times,and the Gators have ruined theparty for the Bulldogs equallyas often.“You feel it,” Georgia line-

backer Amarlo Herrera said.“You hate them and they hateyou. You want to beat them andthey want to beat you. You justcan’t let them beat you.”Florida blew a 17-3 lead last

year. The Gators fumbled twicedeep in their own territory, andGeorgia turned them intotouchdowns—with two fourth-down TD passes that may havesaved coach Mark Richt’s job.Those plays still haunt the

Gators.“We had a lot of regrets last

year,” cornerback JaylenWatkins said. “We rememberthe feelings in the locker room

we had last year. We don’t wantto be at that point this year.”The loss to Georgia capped a

0-for-October losing streak thatnearly led to the program’s firstlosing season since 1979. Thosesetbacks carried playersthough the offseason and havemade it easy for them to get upfor rematches.Florida already avenged

losses to LSU and SouthCarolina with stout defense, abullish run game and nearlyflawless special teams.“The main difference in the

attitude now is we’ve been inthose locker rooms and hadthose tears and had the pain,”Gators linebacker JelaniJenkins said. “We felt all ofthat, and I guess all that buildsup and it’s a product of wherewe’re at today. We’re smarter.We have experience. I guess allthat plays a role.”It certainly helped that

coach Will Muschamp calledhis team soft last November, acharacterization no one wantsto relive. The Gators have woneight consecutive games sincethen.Georgia would love to get

similar results following safetyShawn Williams’ rant thisweek. Williams accused defen-sive teammates of playing softand added that inside lineback-ers Alec Ogletree and AmarloHerrera should never come outof the game. His harsh wordsirritated several teammates.But in this series, motiva-

tion matters.Just ask Easley.“We got our butts kicked

and it still hurts,” Easley said.“We were one of the first teamsto almost have a losing seasonin Florida’s history, so thattakes a toll on us. ... I just try tolet the other team feel my pain,my hurt.”

Georgia Tech, BYU Are Two TeamsWith Similar Kicking Problems

Toughest Call: Sitting A Slumping StarAssociated PressSAN FRANCISCO — Pete

Rose sat in the World Series.So did Reggie Jackson, BarryZito and Paul O’Neill. TimLincecum lost his spot in theSan Francisco Giants’ rota-tion this October, and JoseValverde forfeited his role asthe Detroit Tigers’ closer.Finessing slumping stars

with enormous egos andprodigious paychecks is partof a major league manager’s

mandate, and sensitive situ-ations can turn radioactivecome October.“It’s one of your most diffi-

cult things you have to do asa manager, particularlywhen you’re talking to a starplayer,” Giants managerBruce Bochy said, “and youhave to tell him that you’regoing to go another way asfar as the postseason.”Lincecum, a two-time Cy

Young Award winner for the

Giants, won the Series open-er and the Game 5 clincheragainst Texas two years ago.Dropped as a Series starterthis year following a 10-15regular season, he came outof the bullpen in Game 1 andretired seven straight bat-ters, striking out five.“A different vantage, a dif-

ferent kind of feeling,” hesaid of his ‘pen appearancesthis October, “a whole differ-ent experience for me.”
