The Daily Mississippian — 10-06-11TRANSCRIPT
As the registration deadline for the Nov. 8 general election approaches, many students are still politically voiceless.
Some students will not have a political voice in this election
because they are not registered to vote, while others are un-aware of the absentee ballot options.
To be eligible to vote in this election, one must be registered on or before Saturday, Oct. 8. The Lafayette County Circuit Clerk’s office will be open from
8 a.m. until 12 p.m. Saturday.“If you want to vote in any
election in the state of Missis-sippi, you have to be registered 30 days prior to that election,” said Baretta Mosely, deputy circuit clerk for Lafayette County.
Another option made avail-able to students is to mail in their registration, but it must be postmarked Oct. 8 to vote in the Nov. 8 election. All 82 counties are eligible to par-ticipate in the mail-in registra-tion.
Lafayette County residents have the option to bring their applications to the courthouse located on the Square. All other county residents need to mail their applications to the circuit clerk’s office in their hometown.
The upcoming election in-cludes state, district and local positions, including the gover-nor, lieutenant governor, sec-retary of state and attorney general.
Three new initiatives are also being introduced on the No-
vember ballot.“If students don’t vote, the
legislative bodies are just going to pass things, and our voices won’t be heard,” junior crimi-nal justice major Candice War-ren said.
Many students are unable to travel home to vote during elections; however, the option of absentee ballot voting is an alternative and an opportunity to have their voices heard.
For absentee ballots, a stu-dent can call and request one from his or her local circuit clerk’s office if he or she lives, works or is a student outside of the county. If a student is going to be home any time during the absentee period, he or she can vote at home in the clerk’s of-fice during regular hours.
Saturday, Nov. 5, will be the last day to cast an absentee ballot at the Lafayette County Circuit Clerk’s office.
“It’s important because it’s your right to vote,” Mosely said. “Just because you’re dis-

The upcoming state elections for Mississippi is one of the most anticipated across the country, as the state prepares to elect a new governor and make a decision on initiatives that deal with imminent domain, voter identification and Personhood.
With many key issues for the state on the ballot, leaders across the University of Mississippi cam-pus are encouraging students to register to vote.
Camille Lesseig, senior history and Spanish double major, co-coordinated a voter registration table with the NAACP and Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity in front of the union this past week.
“Voting is the basis of our coun-try,” said Lesseig, president of the UM College Democrats. “We are a representative democracy, and if you aren’t voting for your repre-
sentatives, you aren’t participating in the basis of what our country is founded upon.”
Lesseig, 21, who has been a reg-istered voter since her 18th birth-day, said she firmly believes that every vote counts, and she added that it counts a lot.
“If you aren’t registered to vote, go to the courthouse and register because this is very important, especially in an off year when we have these state elections, because it’s going to mean even more next year when we have national elec-tions,” Lesseig said.
Associated Student Body presi-dent Taylor McGraw said a stu-dent body that is engaged in state elections is a better student body.
“State elections are very impor-tant this year because this is a crit-ical time for our nation and state,” McGraw said. “The leaders we choose will have a huge impact on our immediate futures.”
ASB Vice President Abby Ol-ivier said even though the absen-tee ballot can be inconvenient, she encourages students to register to
vote.“Our generation consists of the
future movers and shakers of our state, so it’s extremely important that we cast our vote to make our short-term impact,” Olivier said.
Casey Stafford, senior public policy major and the president of College Republicans, said that as Gov. Haley Barbour finishes his final term and Treasurer Tate Reeves and Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant
run for higher offices, that each vote will determine a new set of leadership for the state.

“Michelle and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs. Steve was among the greatest of American innovators — brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world and talented enough to do it.
By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity. By mak-ing computers personal and put-ting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grown-ups alike. Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last. Because he did, he trans-formed our lives, redefined entire industries and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: He changed the way each of us sees the world.”

The United States is on the brink of a double-dip recession.
Over and over again, officials have claimed that we are going through a jobless recovery: our GDP is improving, but net hiring is barely, if at all, outstripping net cuts. However, this assertion is en-tirely false.
Revised first-quarter 2011 esti-mates of the GDP now show stag-nant growth of 0.4 percent. Early second-quarter GDP estimates show growth at 1.4 percent.
This is not growth seen in a re-covering economy. This is what an economy teetering on the edge of greater economic woe looks like.
To prevent a double-dip reces-sion — a second recession in the midst of recovery from the first — the U.S. government must take action.
It has been proven as far back as the Great Depression: a sure-fire way to create growth in an economy is to allow government to spend when the private sector
is not. Yet the current political climate
shows a Republican Party ob-sessed with cutting spending and a weak Democratic Party that has folded to nearly every Republican request.
Over the long term, running huge budget deficits can be harm-ful.
However, amid economic trou-bles, cutting large amounts of spending is detrimental. Includ-ed in the debt deal is a limit on spending on infrastructure proj-ects. Highway repair, broadband extension and more projects like these not only help keep the U.S. in running condition, but also help jumpstart the economy.
Government spending brought us out of the Great Depression, and when the federal government started to reduce these cuts, the U.S. was faced with a deep reces-sion.
Without World War II to create American spending, who knows
how long the U.S. would have re-mained in economic hardship.
In the past, Republicans have al-ways been content to go into more debt now so they could spend for what they deem important. This was true as recently as the Bush administration, where two wars were started, while at the same, time there were large tax cuts.
Last year, we saw President Barack Obama pass a Medicare overhaul, while endorsing an in-crease in taxes for the upper 1 percent of Americans.
Now is the worst time for the Republican Party to decide that spending has gone too far.
While Republicans held office, they were fine with mortgaging our county’s future.
However, once the Democratic Party took power, they immedi-ately took a platform upholding that any spending was horrible for this country, regardless of the intent.
With our country paralyzed by
the terrible political climate, we may be forced to sit back and watch as our country falls into its second recession in three years.
Obama’s job bill is a step in the right direction, but it is not nearly enough. Small spending increases and further tax cuts are not going to fix our economy.
To make matters worse, Repub-licans are planning to cherry pick from the president’s plan rather than pass it as a bill in which both sides have made concessions.
If there is any chance of pre-venting a double-dip, jobs must be created. And since the private sector is clearly stagnant, the U.S. government needs to create these jobs.
Without more government spending, be prepared for more economic hardship.

Double-dip possibility still very real
BY JAY [email protected]
It could be said that life is a series of deadlines. Some are flexible and self-created, like a personal five-year plan. Others are not as flexible, like bills.
However, a different kind of deadline is now under debate at the Supreme Court, and the stakes are life and death.
In the case of Cory Maples, an Alabama man currently sentenced to death for the 1995 shooting of two of his friends, a missed dead-line is going to play an integral role in deciding his fate.
Two lawyers from the prominent New York law firm Sullivan and Cromwell were assigned to Maples’ case. However, the state filed docu-ments concerning Maples’ appeal that had a 42-day time limit for re-sponse, after which Maples would lose his chance at appeal.
The problem with this was that by this time, both lawyers assigned to the case had moved on to other jobs. The paperwork was processed through Sullivan and Cromwell’s mailroom and returned to the send-er as undeliverable.
Now Maples may lose his chance at appeal because his lawyers dropped the ball.
Alabama has unique laws govern-ing public defense. There is a set amount of $1,000 to compensate defense attorneys, and the state doesn’t pay for defense attorneys in capital punishment cases when the final conviction has been handed down. It is in these sorts of circum-stances that defendants like Maples end up with botched representa-tion.
Lawyers from big firms may take the case but are unlicensed to prac-
tice in Alabama and solicit the help of a local lawyer to assist in the case. The local lawyer in this case was unaware of the fact that the Sullivan and Cromwell lawyers had abandoned the case and that im-portant deadlines were approach-ing. One can only imagine the relief Maples felt when two big firm law-yers agreed to take his case; it would have seemed inconceivable to him how badly they have botched the job.
The fact that this is even before the Supreme Court seems like the premise of a Kafka novel.
A man is about to lose his chance at a death penalty appeal because two lawyers didn’t appoint replace-ments for the case or provide a for-warding address. Rules are rules and they should be followed, but Maples shouldn’t lose his chance at appeal
because he had the misfortune of being represented by irresponsible attorneys.
This man isn’t facing a prison sen-tence; he’s facing the death penalty. Refusing to hear the final appeal for the behavior of Maples’ lawyers shouldn’t even be a question. Al-lowing this man to appeal now will remove doubts about the process that convicted him to death.
The Supreme Court has a chance to ensure that Maples’ conviction and death sentence were properly handed down, and they should take that chance by granting him this appeal.
The lawyers who made the error are being held surprisingly unac-countable, aside from the public shaming in being named as incom-

petent counsel by every news source in the country.
Death row appeals are the kind of pro bono cases for which a lawyer wishes, the kind of work that inspires many a law school admissions essay.
These lawyers were given the chance to help save someone’s life and to have a very personal impact on the legal system, and they utterly botched it.
How difficult would it have
been for those lawyers to pass on the case to colleagues before leaving the office? Or continue it themselves and provide a for-warding address?
The lawyers are the ones who should be punished, not the in-mate who relied on their repre-sentation.
This is not a question of whether Maples is guilty or in-nocent; it’s a question of ensur-ing that justice is properly car-ried out.
Denying Maples his chance at appeal ensures that there will always be questions and doubts about the conviction that sen-
tenced him to death. In a justice system that em-
ploys the death penalty, the court owes it to itself to be sure of the conviction and make sure justice is properly carried out.
Granting Maples this appeal may not change the outcome, but it is vital that he be allowed the chance to plead his case to ensure justice is properly served.

more than a competition, but more about how Mississippi will move forward in the next four years,” Stafford said. “Moving forward must be a partnership between elected officials and citizens.”
Stafford said the first step is to vote on Nov. 8.
“It is important for students to vote in this election because it al-lows us to voice how we want to be represented in Jackson and not be forgotten,” Stafford said.
Marisa Pasquale and William Crosby are two students who are going to vote on Nov. 8.
“I just think that it’s a right that we have as citizens, so we should definitely take advantage of it,” said Pasquale, a pharmaceuti-cal sciences freshman. “And for me specifically, I wanted to vote against the new abortion act that they are having.”
Crosby, a sophomore English major, registered to vote at the table set up by the College Demo-crats, NAACP and Alpha Phi Al-pha.
“It’s the best way for you to tell the government which direction you want them to go in, and it’s our right, and we should use our right to vote,” Crosby said.
Stafford challenges the students at Ole Miss to get to know each in-dividual candidate’s platforms.
“I believe with voting comes a responsibility to make an in-formed decision,” Stafford said. “Come 2012, the new leadership will implement policies to shape our future.
“These officials will be responsi-ble for making decisions regarding job creation, education reform, Ole Miss’ funding, building safer communities and providing af-fordable healthcare.”

The above listing of these areas does not indicate certification of expertise therein.1205 Office Park Drive, Suite B, Oxford, MS 38655
While Oxford may be known for the thousands of students the University of Mississippi attracts, the steps required to achieve high-er learning are not overlooked.
Oxford School District’s 2011 enrollment summary noted that the area is host to 3,733 students, ranging from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade. Despite growing enrollment, however, Interim Su-perintendent Brian Harvey said the schools do not offer a tutor-ing service but allow after-school tutoring opportunities on Mon-days, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Representing roughly 5 percent of the city’s population, accord-ing to the United States Census Bureau, a few tutoring services have made it their goal to help students achieve their highest ac-ademic potential, refusing to let them get lost in the mix of young people in Oxford.
“It’s all about early interven-tion,” Kathryn Shirley, assistant director of Leap Frog, said.
Founded in the late 1980s by St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Oxford as an outreach ministry, Leap Frog has grown from serv-ing 12 second-graders to serving 105 first- and second-graders to-day, according to Leap Frog Di-rector Teresa Adams.
Leap Frog runs on a volun-teer basis and is completely free to families, operating at both St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and Oxford-University United Meth-odist Church. Adams said the organization currently has 150
volunteers, only three of which are not university students.
On Mondays and Wednes-days, Lafayette County first- and second-graders meet at Oxford-University United Methodist Church for tutoring from 3 p.m. until 4 p.m., a snack at 4 p.m. and enrichment time until 5 p.m. Oxford city second-graders meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Oxford-University United Meth-odist Church, and Oxford city first-graders meet at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well.
Some of the volunteers tutor the children on specific trouble subjects, while others spend a few hours a week playing with the children during “enrichment time.”
The last hour of each day is spent enriching the children either with play time or guest speakers, ranging from gospel choirs and traveling trunks to eti-quette trainers, international stu-dents and story time.
“We try to pull as many differ-ent people from the community to come in and share with the kids things that they normally wouldn’t get to do,” Adams said.
Adams and Shirley said they are currently deciding whether or
not to add another grade to their service — either kindergarten or third grade.
“The young grades really need it,” Adams said. “Statistics show that if kids are given more help and given more confidence and self-esteem in the early ages, then they are more likely to go on and graduate from high school.”
Because Leap Frog’s concen-tration is on the younger children, Shirley said they are leaning to-ward adding kindergarten; how-ever, despite their efforts, funding still stands in their way.
St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and Oxford-University United Methodist Church act as Leap Frog’s “grandparents,” according to Adams, providing an admin-istrative office and extra supplies they need on a day-to-day basis. The churches, along with United Way, support and help fund the program, but adding another grade would most likely require grant money, Adams said.
Another option to students, parents, teachers and volunteers is the Family Literacy Project, a federal program that began in the 1990s under President Bill Clinton’s administration, accord-ing to Dewey Knight, the asso-ciate director of financial aid at
Ole Miss. Because it is a federal program, the service is free to participating schools and fami-lies.
The Family Literacy Project was designed to provide reading-only tutoring, specifically target-ed toward elementary and mid-dle school students. Knight said mathematics was added to the subject matter during President George W. Bush’s terms in office.
Like Leap Frog, the Family Lit-eracy Project’s tutors are primar-ily university students; however, instead of using volunteers, the program offers payment to its tutors through the university’s work-study program.
Students who qualify are re-quired to be trained for their subject, either mathematics or reading, and are then placed at a school, according to Knight. He said the program deals directly with the schools instead of with individual families.
Knight said the pre-kindergar-ten through eighth-grade tutor-ing is concentrated on reading
and literacy, with a little bit of math practice worked in, and the ninth through 12th-graders work some on reading, but focus more on math.
Both the students being tu-tored and the students tutoring are gaining from the program, as university students acquire real-world experience, especially those pursuing education degrees.
“First of all, it’s important to the students because there are a lot of single-parent families and parents who work, and they don’t have anybody to help with their homework,” Knight said.
“It’s important to the schools because the schools are under tight budgets and just can’t af-ford as many teacher’s assistants and teacher’s aids as they would like to have. And it’s important to the university because we are providing an opportunity for our students to serve.”
Above all, Knight continued, the Family Literacy Project is a public service, which he said is a mission of Ole Miss as a whole.

abled, work out of town or are a student out of town, you shouldn’t be denied your right to vote just because you can’t be there to cast a ballot at your precinct.”
Harrison Crabtree, a public policy sophomore from New Orleans, has participated in ab-sentee voting while attending the University of Mississippi.
“I think it’s important because if you can’t get home to vote, it’s your way of getting your vote in,” Crabtree said.
Absentee ballots are currently available to be filed at the circuit clerk’s office. If a student needs help while filling out their ballot, he or she can go to the clerk’s office and someone will be able to assist him or her there. The clerk’s office also notarizes bal-lots free of charge, Mosely said.
There are sample ballots for Lafayette County and informa-tion about the three newly intro-duced initiatives available at the clerk’s office.
“Absentee is very important, and I think people have recently been taking more advantage of it,” Mosely said.

As designers this season are utilizing some of the boldest fabric and color choices since the 1990s, the everyday fash-ionista can quickly become overwhelmed by the auda-cious prints, fiery colors and sea of choices to be made in the clothing department.
Do not worry. This column is a go-to guide for fashion assistance and help in under-standing the idea of fashion identity.
Fall is a season of transi-tion, especially in Mississippi, and one’s wardrobe should be flexible enough to facilitate the unpredictable nature of a
Southern autumn. This is key: dress accord-
ing to the weather and always consider balance.
For example, avoid wearing overly thick coats with aggres-sively distressed jeans — the result will be overkill and busy; instead, try wearing minimal-ist bottoms, such as boot cut or skinny jeans with a puffer vest and long sleeved shirt.
Some of the most popular trends this fall include ‘60s mod, ‘70s Bohemian, stripes, especially in shirts, bright col-ors like neon shades and or-anges, reds and plum, snake-skin, and faux fur-lined vests.
While the literal interpreta-tion of the aforementioned trends are not for the faint
of heart, there are certain el-ements that can be utilized subtly in order to remain on trend.
While wearing an entire dress of snakeskin may be overly courageous for one who is not a rigid fashionista, a clutch or vest in this fabric can be an artful interpretation of the trend.
It is also best to interpret trends subjectively while main-taining a sense of self-identity.
Avoid becoming a fashion cliché, as in overly trendy.
Conformity can be debilitat-ing and can strip one of ex-pressive possibilities.
The key is to remain com-fortable in your own skin. The best advice is for one to wear clothes and not allow clothes to wear the person.
Truthfully, it is not what one wears, but how one wears it.
Fall fashion is a perfect op-portunity for the fashionably apprehensive to experiment with layering, which is an easy way to develop a defined fash-ion identity. Mixing various textures and patterns while building dimensions and color can allow one to generate a unique and defined personal style.
While there are a variety of clothing options that enable one to develop a sense of iden-tity, a few fundamental pieces are showcased this season.
Cardigans, hoodies, jackets detailed with faux fur, military coats, flared jeans and embel-lished boots are all elements that have appeared in design-ers’ collections throughout the season.
Color is a mainstay, with the go-to neutral being navy.
Furthermore, bold patterns are everywhere. Plaid, stripes and camouflage have all been revived for fall.
The best way to mix pat-terns without appearing busy is to combine a minimalist pattern with a more complex one. This idea is a principle of fashion: Combining the com-plex with the simplistic.
Essentially, fashion is a cycli-cal rejuvenation of past ideas; it is nothing more or less than reinterpretation, meaning fashion is never completely new — it is just presented dif-ferently, with this presentation ultimately decided by the con-sumer.
As designers for the 2011 fall season have employed a plethora of aggressive styles in their collections, the consumer is able to explore these con-cepts in order to put together a unique and stylish wardrobe.
In short, the best approach to developing a fresh autumn style is to avoid rigid confor-mity. Find a voice through clothes and allow clothes to be a personal expression of style.

Cancer is a scary word. Most of us know someone who has had it; some of us may have even had it ourselves.
In recent years, there has been a focus on breast cancer, and right-fully so.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, second only to skin cancer.
The statistics on breast cancer are sobering. In the United States, approximately one in eight women will develop invasive breast cancer in their lifetime, and in 2010, there was an expected 207,090 new cas-es of invasive breast cancer diag-nosed.
These numbers can be intimi-dating, but there are preventative measures women can take.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so there’s no time like the present to develop better habits to help reduce your risk of developing such a scary disease.
Studies now show that main-taining a healthy weight can re-duce your odds of developing the disease.
As if there weren’t enough ben-efits to losing weight and getting fit, an article in USA Today cites a study that found obese women to be 30 to 50 percent more likely to develop breast cancer than wom-en of a healthy weight.
A study conducted by the American Cancer Society found that women who put on 21 to 30 pounds after age 18 were 40 per-cent more likely to develop breast cancer than those who remained within five pounds of their pre-18 weight. Women who gained more than 70 pounds doubled their chances.
With that said, there are a num-ber of ways to help reduce your risk:
1. Avoid alcohol I realize this isn’t very popular
advice, especially in college. How-ever, studies have shown that even women who only consume mod-erate amounts of alcohol (around two drinks per day) increase their chance of developing breast can-cer by 20 percent. This makes the odds of developing breast cancer one in six as opposed to one in eight.
2. Regular exercise Exercise benefits almost every
aspect of your health, including your risk of breast cancer. You don’t have to stay in the gym for hours to make a difference.
Simply take advantage of the wonderful fall weather and go for a walk to get a little cardio in each day. Just 30 minutes of walking a day will improve your level of cardio fitness, which will help im-prove your overall health.
3. Healthy eating People often forget that making
healthy food choices is as impor-tant as exercise. Obesity has been linked to different kinds of cancer,
and often exercise is not the only way to lose weight — your nutri-tional choices have to change, too.
You don’t have to radically change your diet overnight, but just take small steps to a healthier you by eating less fried food, can-dy, fast food or whatever your per-sonal weakness is.
4. Know your family history A woman’s risk of breast can-
cer doubles if her mother or sister have had breast cancer. It’s impor-tant to know your family medical history so you know whether or not you should be especially cau-tious of certain diseases and disor-ders.
5. Awareness Being aware of what actions
increase or decrease your risk of breast cancer, and acting upon that awareness, is the greatest way to lower your chances of falling victim to an all-too-common sick-ness.
There is nothing anyone can do to be certain that he or she won’t get cancer; however, there are preventative measures people can take. All it takes is a little home-work to find out what those mea-sures are.
So take advantage of Breast
Cancer Awareness month. It’s never too early (or too late) to be-come a healthier, more resilient person.
Do some research and educate yourself on what factors contrib-ute to the development of breast cancer, and learn what steps you can take to help prevent such a terrible disease from happening to you.

SEC Football Power Poll: Week 6BY AUSTIN [email protected]
1. LSU (5-0, 2-0 SEC, 1st last week):
Senior quarterback Jordan Jef-ferson returned from suspension, and the Tigers defended their No. 1 ranking as they cruised to a 35-7 win over Kentucky Saturday. Senior quarterback Jarrett Lee led a balanced attack, throwing for 169 yards and touchdowns, and the running game finished with 179 yards and three touch-downs. The defense dominated, holding the Wildcats to just 155 yards of total offense and pitch-ing a shutout until less than five minutes left in the game. Sopho-more cornerback Tyrann Ma-thieu forced two more fumbles to bring his season total to nine, the most in school history.
This week: Florida (4-1, 2-1 SEC), 2:30 p.m., CBS
2. Alabama (5-0, 2-0 SEC, 2nd last week):
Junior running back Trent Rich-ardson rushed for a career-high 181 yards and two touchdowns as the Crimson Tide rolled up 226 yards on the ground in a 38-10 win at Florida Saturday. Trailing 10-3 late in the first quarter, Richardson scored his first touchdown of the game to tie the game, and then se-nior linebacker Courtney Upshaw returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown to give Alabama a 17-10 lead. On defense, the Crim-son Tide held the potent Florida rushing attack to just 15 yards on 29 carries.
This week: Vanderbilt (3-1, 1-1 SEC), 6 p.m., ESPNU
3. Arkansas (4-1, 0-1 SEC, 5th last week):
The Razorback rallied from a 35-17 halftime deficit to knock off the Aggies of Texas A&M, future members of the SEC, 42-38 in Cowboys Stadium Sat-urday. Junior quarterback Tyler Wilson threw for a school-record 510 yards and three touchdowns on 30-of-51 passing. Senior wide receiver Jarius Wright caught 13 passes for a school-record 281 yards and also recovered a fumble in the endzone, which after the two-point conversion, tied the game at 35-35. Senior running back Broderick Green had the game-winning score, a three-yard run, with 1:41 left in the game.
This week: Auburn (4-1, 2-0 SEC), 6 p.m., ESPN
4. Auburn (4-1, 2-0 SEC, 6th last week):
All the Tigers do is win, upset-ting top-10 team South Carolina 16-13 Saturday in Columbia. The much-maligned Auburn defense forced four turnovers and held South Carolina to just 289 yards of total offense, limiting running back Marcus Lattimore to 66 yards on 17 carries. It was Auburn sopho-more running back Michael Dyer who led the way on the ground, rushing for 141 yards and a touch-down on a career-high 41 carries. Junior quarterback Barrett Trot-ter found junior tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen for the game-win-ning nine-yard touchdown pass with 1:38 left in the game.
This week: at Arkansas (4-1, 0-1 SEC), 6 p.m., ESPN
5. South Carolina (4-1, 2-1 SEC, 3rd last week):
Sophomore running back Marcus Lattimore finished with 66 yards and a touch-down on 17 carries, but that was just the tip of the iceberg as the offense struggled in a 16-13 loss to Auburn Satur-day. Senior quarterback Ste-phen Garcia completed just 9 of his 23 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown, but he also had two interceptions. For Saturday’s game against Ken-tucky, he has been benched in favor of sophomore quarter-back Connor Shaw. Outside of 141 rushing yards from Au-burn running back Michael Dyer, the South Carolina de-fense continues to shine.
This week: Kentucky (2-3. 0-2 SEC), 11:21 a.m., SEC Net-work
6. Florida (4-1, 2-1 SEC, 4th last week):
The Gators held with Ala-bama for a quarter, but the Crimson Tide’s ability to run and stop the run was the differ-ence in a 38-10 loss Saturday. Alabama rushed for 226 yards on 43 carries, while Florida rushed for only 15 yards on 29 carries. Senior running back Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps combined for eight yards on 14 carries, while senior quar-terback John Brantley was knocked out in the second quarter and will be sidelined for Saturday’s game at LSU.
This week: at LSU (5-0, 2-0 SEC), 2:30 p.m., CBS
7. Georgia (3-2, 2-1 SEC, 7th last week):
The Bulldogs jumped out to a 14-3 first-quarter lead on two touchdown passes from sophomore quarterback Aaron Murray and held on for a 24-10 win over Missis-sippi State Saturday. Murray completed 13 of 25 passes for 160 yards and two touch-downs, but three intercep-tions in the game. Freshman running back Isaiah Crowell was kept out of the end zone, but topped the 100-yard mark with 104 yards on 22 carries. The Georgia defense held the hapless Mississippi State to just 56 yards on the ground and 157 yards through the air.
This week: at Tennessee (3-1, 0-1 SEC), 6 p.m., ESPN2
8. Tennessee (3-1, 0-1 SEC, 8th last week):
In the absence of sophomore wide receiver Justin Hunter, who is done for the season after an ACL injury, the Volunteers routed Buffalo 41-10 behind 541 yards of total offense. Soph-omore wide receiver Da’Rick Rogers picked up the slack and caught seven passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns, while sophomore quarterback Tyler Bray threw for 342 yards and four touchdowns on 21-of-30 passing. Freshman wide receiver DeAnthony Arnett also stepped up with three catches for 27 yards and two touchdowns. The defense held the Bulls to just 264 yards of total offense.
This week: Georgia (3-2, 2-1 SEC), 6 p.m., ESPN2
9. Vanderbilt (3-1, 1-1 SEC, 10th last week):
The Commodores’ oppor-tunistic defense and strug-gling offense visits No. 2 Alabama this Saturday. In the 21-3 loss at South Caro-lina, the defense forced four turnovers, but the offense could not take advantage. Senior quarterback Larry Smith completed 12 of 16 passes for 44 yards, but was also sacked six times, as the offense managed only 77 yards of total offense in the loss.
This week: at Alabama (5-0, 2-0 SEC), 6 p.m., ESPNU
10. Mississippi State (2-3, 0-3 SEC, 9th last week):
The struggles for the Mississippi State offense continue as they were outgained 315-213 in a 24-10 loss at Mississippi State Saturday. Relf, who threw for 157 yards and two interceptions on 19-of-31 passing, was replaced by freshman Dylan Favre in the third quarter, but it did not help. On the ground, the Bulldogs managed only 56 yards on 34 carries. This after both teams had to be separated at the end of pregame warmups after Georgia players accused Missis-sippi State players of jumping on the big “G” logo at midfield.
This week: at UAB (0-4), 11 a.m., SportSouth
11. Ole Miss (2-3, 0-2 SEC, 11th last week):
The Rebels found a quarter-back (junior Randall Mackey) and an offense (430 yards of total offense) as they came from behind to win at Fresno State, 38-28. Mackey (8-of-18, 214 yards) orchestrated a 15-play, 88-yard game-winning drive, capped by a 12-yard touchdown run by sophomore Jeff Scott. Scott rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries, and senior running back Brandon Bolden added 43 yards and two touchdowns on six carries. Bolden and the Rebels have two weeks to rest and rehab before welcoming No. 2 Alabama to Oxford on October 15.
This week: Bye, Next week: Alabama (5-0, 2-0 SEC), 5 p.m., ESPN2
12. Kentucky (2-3, 0-2 SEC, 12th last week):
Junior quarterback Morgan Newton missed on his first nine passes and the Wildcats did not threaten to score until LSU was up 35-0 in the fourth quarter as they lost 35-7 in “Death Valley.” In the first half, Newton complet-ed 2 of 11 passes and was sacked three times and finished with 6-of-20 passing for 57 yards and a touchdowns. The running game was not much better, going for 89 yards on 39 carries, as the offense managed only 155 yards of total offense.

Chris, ranked No. 68 in the nation, lost the first set 7-5, but won the second set 6-1 to square the match. In the fi-nal set, Batrakov, ranked No. 91 in the country, served for the match at 5-3, but Chris broke back, only to get bro-ken again at 5-5. Batrakov served out for 7-5.

When the final seconds ticked off the clock in the Rebels’ 38-28 win over Fresno State Saturday night, it marked the beginning of a two-week period before
Ole Miss would hit the gridiron again.
And no one needed the bye week for rest and rehab more than senior running back Bran-don Bolden.
Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt knows the importance of
the bye week for guys like Bolden, who has been nursing a fractured ankle since the season opener against BYU.
“This week is going to give us some extra time to get people healed up and get them as healthy as possible,” Nutt said. “We want those days to be days where we get better, go hard-nosed, get physical and get ready to play the best team in the country.“
This past weekend against the Bulldogs of Fresno State, Bolden showed flashes of what everyone comes to expect from the Baton Rouge native. Bolden rushed for two touchdowns and 43 yards on just six carries.
“This is the best he has been,” Nutt said. “He has been working awfully hard. There for a while he was OK running straight ahead and covering kicks. When you are a tailback you have to start, stop and cut when you make decisions with a lot of stress on the ankle.
“He is not 100 percent, but that is the best he has been, and that really helps us. Hopefully with these two weeks, he will be 100 percent by the time we play Ala-bama.”
For the Rebels to have any chance against the Crimson Tide
in two weeks, Bolden will need to be as healthy as possible.
“It’s getting better,” Bolden said. “It’s getting close to little or no pain.”
The four-year starter and team captain said each day the ankle feels like it is getting closer to be-ing 100 percent.
“Yeah, I feel real close,” he said. “I’ve been doing a real good job at treatment — almost every day, every week. It’s just been getting a whole lot better.”
While Bolden only has 23 car-ries on the season, including six this past weekend, he is not wor-ried about how the carries are dis-tributed between him and sopho-more running back Jeff Scott, who rushed for a career-high 138 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries against Fresno State.
“It is what it is,” he said. “We got the win. Jeff got 20-something carries, I got six. But we won. That’s my big goal right there — get a W. It doesn’t matter to me (who gets the carries).”
Bolden, who has 2,237 career rushing yards, needs just 85 more yards to pass Dou Innocent for fifth place on the Ole Miss ca-reer rushing list. He also ranks second in Ole Miss history with
25 rushing touchdowns and 30 total touchdowns, second only to Deuce McAllister in Ole Miss history, who finished with 37 rushing touchdowns and 41 total touchdowns.
Bolden knows his presence will be necessary to help the Rebel ground attack against a potent Alabama defense, which has al-lowed just 39.6 yards on the ground through five games this season. However, for him to be effective at all when the Tide rolls into town, he needs to get his an-kle comfortable doing everything a running back should do.
“Just trying to put my foot in the ground (is the toughest thing),” he said. “Like basically just cutting to change direction on a block or cutting to change direction on a run. Either way, it’s just cutting in general.
“It’s not bothering me. I’ve been working on it every day be-fore practice, and during practice I get a few cuts in. I’m getting bet-ter and better each week.”
Hopefully for the Rebel offense, the week of rest will be enough to get Bolden looking like himself again in time for the Rebels to take on arguably the nation’s best team.
Recovering: bye week comes at the perfect time for Bolden
