Boykin and former Police
Chief Tony Carleton are out of
a wrongful death lawsuit the
Ricky Ball family filed in 2016
after the fatal officer-involved
shooting.
A pair of motions, filed by the
plaintiff in the case, seek to dis-
miss Boykin and Carleton with
prejudice from the case, mean-
ing Boykin and Carleton cannot
be sued for the same matter
again.
Katherine Kerby, attorney
for Carleton and the city of Co-
lumbus, says a settlement is in
negotiations with representa-
tives of the Ball family.
Memphis attorney Andrew
Clarke is representing Paul N.
Royal, another Memphis attor-
ney in whose name the suit was
filed on behalf of the Ball family.
Clarke filed the wrongful death
suit against Boykin, Carleton,
the city of Columbus and sev-
eral CPD officers in September
2016.
Boykin shot and killed Ball
on Oct. 16, 2015, after Ball fled a

Room to grow Columbus Air force

PACCAR communication manager talks
hiring, benefits of Lowndes plant
By ISABELLE ALTMAN
ialtman@cdispatch.com
When a Kenworth or Peterbilt
tractor-trailer rolls down the high-
way, there’s an 80 percent chance
that truck’s engine was built in
Lowndes County.
That’s according to Mike Ar-
zamendi, communication and train-
ing manager at PACCAR, who spoke
to the Exchange Club of Columbus
at its weekly luncheon Thursday
about the 400-acre engine plant the
company operates in the Lowndes
County Industrial Park.
The plant is one of two engine
plants PACCAR owns, with the
other in the Netherlands. The local
plant broke ground in 2007, and in
less than 10 years had delivered
100,000 engines, Arzamendi said.
PACCAR’s local plant hous-
es everything from an assembly
room where robots put the engines
together to a bed and breakfast
where, in Arzamendi’s words, “big
wigs” from the company’s corpo-
rate offices or other out-of-town
visitors to the plant can stay. The
assembly line is full of machines
and robots that help assemble the
engines — but, Arzamendi said,
even with machines doing much of
the heavy lifting, the plant employs
roughly 600 people.
In fact, for every robot at the
plant, the company needs at least
one person to help maintain it.
“We need someone to maintain
it, somebody to program it, some-
body to go in there and fix it when
it breaks, so we’re always going to
be hiring people,” Arzamendi said.
“It’s a misnomer that automation
automatically takes the human
equation out of there. I think we’ll
have people around in factories for
a long, long time.”
The plant is choosy about the
employees it hires too, Arzamendi
said. For every person hired at the
plant, 17 are rejected.
Those looking for a job on the as-
sembly line fill out an online appli-
cation and assessment before com-
ing into the plant for an in-person
interview and assessment process.
The assessments are not Work-

sissippi Community College when
looking at applicants for manufac-
turing positions. PACCAR’s assess-
ment is designed by a third party
testing agency and tailored to the
specific needs of PACCAR’s plant.
It tests everything from attention
to detail and multi-tasking to team-
work and judgment.
Arzamendi showed example
questions of a gauge simulation
that tests whether an individual can
keep track of multiple readings on
a machine and production simula-
tions that show whether the individ-
ual can follow directions. The test
also checks for basic quantitative
problem-solving, or, Arzamendi
simplified, “Can this person add?”
Once an applicant has passed the
assessment, he or she interviews
with five separate people at the
plant, including employees already
working on the assembly line who
are there to make sure the applicant
is a team player.
“The introductory salary for an
assembly person is $30,000 a year,”
Arzamendi said in response to a
question from an Exchange Club
member. “If you’re in there for five
years and you go through three
aggressive grade levels, you could
be earning $60,000. And that’s just
with a high school diploma or equiv-
alent.”

Base set to receive

Contract with Boeing will provide

DISPATCH STAFF REPORT
Columbus Air Force Base will receive new train-

According to CNN, Boeing secured a contract
to produce the new T-X aircrafts to replace its cur-

“The Air Force currently plans to purchase 351

He also sang the praises of a
workforce that is ready to be hired.
“You have a trainable workforce
here,” he said. “About two months
ago, I put out word that we were hir-
ing on four different radio stations.
That was on Tuesday. By Thursday
noon, I had 350 applicants. We have
a lot of folks that still think it’s a
good place to work.”
Arzamendi added that PACCAR
plans to expand some in the next
couple of years, though he didn’t
provide details of any planned ex-
pansion. Still, he said, there is room
to grow.
He said the plant just hosted a
meeting of PACCAR’s board of di-
rectors, held at a different location
once every four years.
“Those are the folks who sign
the big money, the million-dollar
deals,” he said. “And that’s why
over the next 2-1/2 years, you’re
going to see us do some pretty cool
things here.”

West Point man killed in Columbus wreck

Other driver hospitalized after head-on collision
DISPATCH STAFF REPORT
One person has died
following a head-on col-
lision in Columbus last
night.
Mississippi Highway
Patrol is investigating the
accident, which occurred
just south of Columbus
Air Force Base on High-
way 45 North just before
7 p.m. The drivers of both
vehicles involved were
taken to Baptist Memo-
rial Hospital-Golden Tri-
angle where one was pro-
nounced dead. The other
had moderate injuries,
according to a MHP press
release.
Lowndes County Cor-
oner Greg Merchant
identified the deceased
as 32-year-old Louis Ray
McWilliams of West
Point.
According to MHP Sgt.
Derrick Beckom, McWil-
liams was driving south
when he collided with a

However, he said the mo-
tion is unopposed, and the
signing of the order is a
“perfunctory” matter.
“Officer Boykin and I
are pleased that the plain-
tiff elected to dismiss this
case against him,” Reyn-
olds said. “Officer Boykin
did nothing wrong and we
hope the state will follow
suit and dismiss the in-
dictment against Officer
Boykin as we have already
asked the court to do.”
A Lowndes County
grand jury indicted Boy-
kin for manslaughter in
September 2016. Reyn-
olds said he’s submitted a
request to dismiss that in-
dictment against Boykin.
That matter will be heard
in Lowndes County Cir-
cuit Court on Nov. 1.
Kerby said the motion
to dismiss Carleton from
the case is likewise unop-
posed.
“The plaintiff filed a
motion to dismiss Chief
Carleton as an individual
defendant,” Kerby said.
“We do not oppose it and
we’re glad to see it.”
As for the city’s part in
the case, Kerby stopped
short of saying a settle-
ment has been reached.
However, she said she ex-
pected a motion to dismiss
the city in the near future.
“It is my expectation
there will soon be another
motion filed to have the
case dismissed by agree-
ment of the plaintiff and
the city of Columbus,”
Kerby said. “This is still
in motion. At this point in
time, I’m not yet at liberty
to speak further on it.”
Clarke did not return

Republicans favor new federal regulation on sports gambling

Members of subcommittee expressed concerns about
advertisements and online gambling platforms targeting
minors, as well as the potential for match-fixing
By BEN NUCKOLS
AP Sports Writer
House Republicans
strongly favor new feder-
al regulations on sports
gambling after the Su-
preme Court allowed
states to open sports
books.
At a hearing of a House
Judiciary subcommittee,
GOP members expressed
concerns Thursday about
advertisements and on-
line gambling platforms
targeting minors, as
well as the potential for
match-fixing.
“For Congress to do
nothing is the worst pos-
sible alternative,” said
Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner,
a Wisconsin Republican.
“We have some work to
do, and I’m looking for-
ward to working with you
to try to come up with
something both short
term and something more
permanent to deal with
this issue. I’m afraid if
we don’t, there are going
to be people who get hurt
and get hurt badly.”
The hearing was the
first Congress has held
on the issue since the
Supreme Court decision
in June to strike down a
law that limited sports
gambling to four states,
and full-service sports
books only to Nevada.
Since then, Delaware,
New Jersey, Mississippi
and West Virginia have
legalized betting on pro
and amateur sports, with
more states considering
adding sports books to
their existing racetracks
or casinos.
The prospect of federal
action, however, is murky
at best. No bill has been
introduced that would
enact the reforms dis-
cussed by Sensenbrenner
and other GOP members,
and the committee may
have different priorities
if Democrats take over
the House in the midterm
elections.
The hearing occurred
at the same time the Sen-
ate Judiciary Committee
was hearing testimony
from Christine Blasey
Ford, who has accused

Brett Kavanaugh of sex-
ual assault, and Sensen-

their own and said many
of the fears about the ills
of expanded sports gam-
bling have not been real-
ized.
The industry’s position
is that legalization is good
for bettors and sports
leagues because it will
move sports betting from
illegal offshore operators
to licensed businesses
that pay taxes and have
consumer protections.

also argue that match-fix-

AP Business Writers
DETROIT — U.S. se-
curities regulators are
asking a federal court
to oust Tesla Inc.’s Elon
Musk as chairman and
CEO, alleging in a com-
plaint that he committed
securities fraud with false
statements about plans to
take the company private.
The Securities and
Exchange Commission
says in the complaint
filed Thursday that Musk
falsely claimed in an Aug.

that funding was secured
to go private at $420 per
share, a substantial pre-
mium over the price at
the time.
The complaint filed
in U.S. District Court
Enforcement Division
in Manhattan says that
Musk had not discussed
or confirmed key deal
terms including price
with any funding source.
It also asks for an order
enjoining Musk from
making false and mislead-
ing statements along with
repayment of any gains as
well as civil penalties.
“Corporate officers
hold positions of trust in
our markets and have im-
portant responsibilities
to shareholders,” Steven
Peikin, co-director of the
SEC’s Enforcement Divi-
sion, said in a statement.
“An officer’s celebrity
status or reputation as a
technological innovator
does not give license to
take those responsibili-
ties lightly.”
An SEC press release
says the agency asked the
court for a “bar prohibit-

Our View
To cheer or boo? That is the question
Dan Mullen, who led the
Mississippi State football
team to its longest stretch of
sustained success in history,
returns to Starkville Saturday
as head coach of the Florida
Gators.
For nine seasons, Mullen
was the face of the Bulldogs
program, but Saturday he
comes not to praise the Bull-
dogs, but to bury them. That’s
his job, after all. Nothing
personal.
But it appears to be deep-
ly personal to an awful lot
of MSU fans. Since Mullen
abruptly left MSU to take
the Florida job in December,
Bulldog fans have had Satur-
day circled on their calendars,
and it will be interesting to
see what sort of reception
Mullen receives.
On one hand, fans could
applaud their former coach
in recognition of what did he
for the program in his nine
seasons — 69 wins, eight
consecutive bowl games, a
No. 1 national ranking for
five glorious weeks in 2014.
His work raised the Bulldogs
profile, improved its brand
and made the school more ap-
pealing to future players and
coaches. That the Bulldogs
could attract Joe Moorhead,
the nation’s most-respected
assistant coach at Penn State,
to take over as the Bulldogs
coach is something that prob-
ably would not have happened
nine years ago, given the
struggles of the program at
the time of Mullen’s arrival.
Simply put, Mullen left MSU
far better than he found it.
That’s one mood Bulldog
fans may display when Mullen
steps onto the field at Davis
Wade Stadium Saturday
night.
But it probably isn’t the
prevailing mood.
For many — perhaps a ma-
jority — Mullen’s departure
is viewed something akin to
a man leaving a faithful wife
for a younger, more attractive
woman. Bulldog fans feel
jilted, betrayed.
While pragmatic Bulldog
fans can understand Mullen’s
decision to leave for Flori-
da — more money, a bigger
stage and a return to a place
where he helped the Gators to
two national championships
as an assistant coach — it was
the manner in which he left
has created hard feelings.
Every year, Mullen’s name
was attached to openings at
other, bigger schools. Every
year, Mullen remained. Last
November, when his name
surfaced as a candidate
for the Florida job, Mullen
resolutely claimed he had no
interest. Almost until the day
he left, Mullen had told his
players, fans, media that he
was staying.
Then, just like that, he was
gone.
Bulldog fans haven’t
forgotten. They don’t just feel
betrayed, they feel they were
lied to.
Far be it from us to suggest
which of the two attitudes
Bulldog fans should embrace
Saturday. You pay your mon-
ey, you cheer or boo as the
spirit moves you.
But in this case we believe
there is a pretty good argu-
ment for taking the high road,
something we admit is not
much in fashion these days.
Treating Mullen to polite
applause not only acknowl-
edges what he did for the
program in his time at MSU,
it also demonstrates to the
world that Bulldog fans are
confident in themselves and
the future of their program,
that the program is bigger
than the man who once
coached it.
That, we believe is a far
better message to send Satur-
day night.

KAVANAUGH HEARINGS
Show trials
Karl Marx,
commenting
on the ascen-
sion of Louis
Napoleon,
wrote, “History
repeats itself:
The first time
as tragedy, the
second time as
farce.” The dra-
ma over Brett
Kavanaugh’s Mona Charen
confirmation
has reversed
the order. It began as farce. Protesters
dressed in “The Handmaid’s Tale” red
capes lined the halls of senate office
buildings. Senator Kamala Harris be-
haved like a heckler at her own commit-
tee’s hearing. Senator Cory Booker in-
vited martyrdom by claiming to break
a rule that he didn’t actually violate.
The Democratic senators demanded
documents that might have passed over
Kavanaugh’s desk in the Bush adminis-
tration despite the fact that they had al-
ready announced their intention to vote
against him. (Senators Amy Klobuchar
and Chris Coons clearly didn’t get the
memo and conducted themselves as if
they were actually seeking insight into
Kavanaugh’s views of the judiciary.)
Then it descended into tragedy.
Senator Dianne Feinstein, at the 11th
hour, announced that she had referred
an anonymous accusation to the FBI.
She had been in possession of the infor-
mation since July but held it. As Gregg
Nunziata, former chief nominations
counsel to the Senate Judiciary Com-
mittee outlined in The Weekly Stan-
dard, such accusations are common.
Procedures are in place to investigate
them confidentially, sometimes involv-
ing the FBI, sometimes not. But this
one was treated as an ace in the hole.
Its existence was strategically leaked
when it could do the maximum dam-
age.
After someone on the committee
leaked Christine Blasey Ford’s identity,
the real show trial — the one conduct-
ed in the media — got rolling. Story
after story appeared about women and
girls who’d been attacked or abused
and kept silent. The Atlantic ran a
piece by Caitlin Flanagan subtitled,
“When I was in high school, I faced
my own Brett Kavanaugh.” Prejudicial,
you think?
The New Yorker account of an
incident at Yale seemed not so much
reported as extracted with forceps.
Deborah Ramirez’s memory of the
alleged event was so hazy that she
consulted classmates about whether
they recalled it, and took six days to
think over whether it was Kavanaugh
or someone else. The Julie Swetnick
story of rape trains seems literally
incredible.
Dozens of retrospectives of the
Anita Hill hearings have been lovingly
presented, with agonized commentary
suggesting that if Kavanaugh is con-
firmed it will be a verdict on whether
our nation has changed since the
1990s. Left-leaning outlets basically
decreed Kavanaugh guilty due to his
skin color and background. USA Today
said “prep school elites take care of
their own.” Salon fumed about “class,
social capital, and endless privilege,”
and Vox filled us in on how elite
schools “enable toxic masculinity.”
The stampede to judgment was rem-
iniscent of the Duke lacrosse case and
the Rolling Stone “rape on campus”
story. In both instances, the accused
were deemed guilty of being white and
privileged and therefore presumed
guilty of far worse. It’s the mirror
image of presumptions of guilt that
often attach to African-American men.
It all depends upon who is doing the
presuming. If you’re generally hostile
to white men, or nurture grievances
about class privilege, you throw the
presumption of innocence out the win-
dow. Similarly, if you’re afraid of black
people, it’s hard to remember that,
high crime statistics notwithstanding,
the majority of black men are law-abid-
ing. In any case, whatever observa-
tions we make about a group — and
some are correct as generalizations,
for example, women are less likely to
be sexual predators than men — it is
always unjust to judge an individual
because of his membership in a group.
Another often-repeated theme
is that in the past “women were not
believed,” and accordingly justice de-
mands that we believe them now. Well,
it’s certainly true that women used
to be impeached in rape cases when
lawyers would use their sexual histo-
ries against them. Rape shield laws put
an end to that. But the issue is more
complicated than the slogan suggests.
Rape and sexual assault cases are
difficult because they almost always
involve a crime that happens in private.
The consequences of a guilty finding
are so severe that every attempt has to
be made to test the victim’s account.
Which brings us to the dueling
stories presented Thursday. Dr.
Christine Blasey Ford seemed honest
and reliable. Judge Kavanaugh seemed
equally so, as well as understandably
outraged at what he called the “search
and destroy” nature of this process.
How are outsiders expected to judge
where the truth lies? Shall we believe
the woman because she’s a woman?
I don’t know who’s lying, if anyone
is. But I do know that this carnival has

FBI agent: Man in burning

death admits sex, denies timing
Jurors in retrial of Quinton Tellis took
a tour Thursday of sites involved in
the 2014 murder
The Associated Press
BATESVILLE — An
FBI agent testified Thurs-
day that the man on trial
for burning a Mississippi
woman to death told him
the two had sex, but not
on the day she died.
Agent Dustin Blount
testified in the capital
murder retrial of Quinton
Tellis, who is accused of
killing Jessica Chambers
near a small Mississip-
pi town in 2014. A jury
couldn’t reach a verdict in
Tellis’ first trial last year.
Blount says Tellis told
him he spent the morn-
ing of Chambers’ attack
riding around with Cham-
bers and a friend while
the two women smoked
marijuana. According to
Blount, Tellis denied see-
ing her again, saying his
only contact was a text
message where Cham-
bers asked for money. Tel-
lis told the agent he delet-
ed all of his text messages
with Chambers after he
heard of her death, al-
though prosecutors have
recovered them and are
likely to introduce them
into evidence later.
Blount said Tellis told
him he and Chambers had
intercourse in the passen-
ger seat of her Kia Rio
with the seat in a reclined
position. The passenger
seat in the burned car was
found in that position.
The FBI agent also tes-
tified that Tellis showed
him a gas can in a shed in
front of his home. Pros-

lawmaker arrested
for refusing to
take DUI test
The Associated Press

MERIDIAN — A
high-ranking Mississippi
legislator has been arrest-
ed for refusing to take a
DUI test after running
into the back of another
car at a red light near his
home in Meridian.
The Clarion Ledger re-
ports House Speaker Pro
Tem Greg Snowden was
arrested Thursday.
Snowden, a Republican,
says he wasn’t drunk and
hit the car because he was
texting and looking at his
phone about the Brett Ka-
vanaugh Supreme Court
nomination hearings in
Washington.
Police Chief Benny
Dubose says his officers
responded to a call of an
individual driving errati-
cally and running people
off the road. When they
arrived on scene, he says,
they said they smelled al-
cohol and Snowden failed
a field sobriety test.
The 64-year-old says
he has bad knees and was
unable to walk properly for
the field sobriety test.
Neither Snowden, the
second-ranking lawmaker
in the House, nor the other
driver reported injuries.

Continued from Page 1A
Good business,
good humor
Even so, Mark ap-
preciates what Mullen
accomplished in his nine
seasons at State.
“The fact of the matter
is we would not be where
we are today without his
leadership,” Mark said.
The facts bear that
out.
In his nine seasons at
MSU, Mullen is second
in both wins and win-
ning percentage on the
school’s all-time coaching
list. Since his second sea-
son, he led the Bulldogs
to eight consecutive bowl
games. The program
had been to just 13 bowl
games in the previous
105 years.
In 2014, MSU was
ranked No. 1 in the
nation for five weeks, the
only time the Bulldogs
have appeared at the top
of the polls.
But Mullen’s deci-
sion to leave Starkville
appears to have created
a jilted lover sentiment
among a lot of Bulldog
fans.
“Ninety percent of the
people I’ve talked to are
mad,” Mark said. “There
was something on Face-
book that said people
should clap for Coach
Mullen (on Saturday).
Man, that lit the fire.
People lost their freakin’
minds.”
In a Twitter poll that
attracted 1,273 respons-
es, 48 percent of fans
said they intend to boo
Mullen when he steps
onto the field at Davis
Wade Stadium while 13
percent said they would
applaud. Interestingly,
39 percent responded as
being indifferent.
“I think the Kentucky
game (last week’s 28-7
upset loss), everybody
was talking about Mul-
len,” Mark said. “Now,
they are talking about Joe
Moorhead. It’s a fickle
fan base.”
Mullen’s success at
MSU is not measured
only in wins/losses, but
in other ways.
“No matter what you
think, he won a lot of
games and that sold a
lot of merchandise,” said
Lauren Ferguson, man-
ager at Maroon & Co., a
Starkville apparel store
that focuses on MSU
products. “He was good
for business.”
Maroon & Co. special
orders T-shirts for big
games each year. That
was true for Saturday’s
game.
The store ordered
three different specialty

out “Dan Who?”
Maroon and Co. sold
the last of those T-shirts
Thursday, just 10 days
after they arrived.
“Honestly, we had
mixed feeling about the
T-shirts,” Ferguson said.
“Dan left sort of like a
thief in the night and
some people felt kind of
betrayed. But for us, it’s
all in good fun.”
The Taylors, too, seem
to have channeled their
disappointment over
Mullen’s departure into
humor.
“We had Coach
Mullen’s poster up on
wall in our old location
with a spotlight on it,”
Mark said. “But when we
moved into this location
in February, I told Carol
I didn’t know what to do
with it. It was her idea to
put it in the restroom.”
Mark said he under-
stands that Mullen’s
decision to leave was a
“business decision,” but
it’s the circumstances
surrounding the coach’s
departure that still ran-
kles.
“The way he left was
not right,” Mark said.
“On Wednesday, he’s not
going anywhere. He’s
here forever. He told his
players he wasn’t leaving.
Then on Sunday’s he’s
gone. Just like that. It’s
like not being a man of
his word. He was just
looking out for himself.”
Ferguson said she
expects Mullen to be
booed when he steps onto
the field, but it might not
have much to do with his
history with MSU.
“He’s on the other
side now,” Ferguson said.
“We boo the other side.

STARKVILLE — Stephen Guidry spent a
winter, spring, summer, and a portion of August
as an unknown commodity.
Many believed Guidry, a
highly regarded transfer from
Hinds Community
College, could be a needed
playmaker for the Mississippi State

but a shoulder injury took him out of
the public eye.

Just four weeks into September,
the only thing No. 23 MSU knows
about its X wide receiver position is Guidry.
That’s fine with the 6-foot-4, 190-pounder
from New Roads, Louisiana, who has separated
himself from a crowd of receivers at his position
and is second on the team in receptions (eight)
and receiving yards (174).

EMCC East Miss. Comm. College 24,

Continued from Page 1B
The longtime rivals are
separated by 53 miles but
hadn’t played since 2013
due to the MACJC sched-
uling format. They made
up for lost time by deliv-
ering an entertaining,
ultra-competitive game
played before a crowd of
nearly 7,000.
“There is nothing like
a game-winning drive,”
said deWeaver, a quar-
terback who transferred
from Michigan State. “We
aren’t used to this around
here, so this was another
chance to show our cham-
pionship mettle. Just had
a feeling we would have
some guys step up when
the game was on the line.
There is nothing that will
fire you up more as a com-
petitive than driving down
the field for game-win-
ning points on the road,
breaking the other team’s
heart.”
EMCC improved to
5-0 and most likely will
maintain all 17 first-place
votes in the next Nation-
al Junior College Athletic
Association (NJCAA) na-
tional rankings.
After three mercy-rule
wins and 50 or more
points in four wins, this
game was different. The
Lions used three critical
blocked kicks to gain sep-
aration.
In the second quarter,
Josh Miller returned a
blocked punt (by Adrian
Miller) 30 yards for the
touchdown to give the Li-
ons a 14-6 lead.
With EMCC protect-
ing a 21-15 lead late in
the third quarter, former
West Point High School
standout Everitt Cunning-
ham blocked a 30-yard
field goal try by Sam Cox,
who played at Starkville
Academy.
After East Central C.C.
(3-2) scored a touchdown
and tied the game with
3:51 remaining, Josh Mill-
er burst through the line
to deny Cox’s potential
go-ahead extra point.
“We probably work on
special teams more than
any other team in the
state,” EMCC coach Bud-
dy Stephens said. “Those
plays saved us tonight.
They were the difference.
Just so proud of compet-
ing on every play. You
can’t take kicking play
lightly. It can change ev-
erything in a game.”
To find EMCC in a
tight game was shocking.
To find deWeaver on the
field at the end also wasn’t
likely.
Making his third-
straight start, Vijay Miller
injured an ankle when he
was tackled going out of
bounds late on his team’s
final possession of the
first quarter.
From there, deWeav-
er went 20-for-30 for 152
yards. He overcame five
sacks by leading a power-
ful running game through
a critical stretch in the
second half.
The Lions overcame
a below-average night in
total yards (383 yards on
85 plays) and a reoccur-
ring penalty problem (13
penalties for 126 yards)
thanks to a career-high
rushing performance
from Deon McIntosh. The
former Notre Dame trans-
fer ran 31 times for 177
yards with a touchdown.
Kevon Moore added 46
yards and another score.
An 11-yard touchdown
run by Moore helped
his team erase a 15-14
halftime deficit midway
through the third quarter.
“The running game
really had a strong night,”
Moore said. “Hopefully,
this is the start of some-
thing big for (McIntosh
and Moore) for the rest of
the season. We want the
offense to know they can
count on us.”
When looking for his
dogs, deWeaver already
knew McIntosh was one.
“He had that look in his
eyes tonight,” deWeaver
said. “He was running
with authority. He was lin-
ing up running over peo-
ple. When the game was
on the line there at end, I
was happy he was on our
team.”

injured much of last sea-
son but had an overtime
sack against Georgia in
the national championship
game. Plus departed line-
backer Rashaan Evans, a
first-round NFL draft pick,
was also one of the team’s
top pass rushers.
Defensive end Rae-
kwon Davis, who led the
team in sacks last season,
hasn’t recorded one yet.
Buggs was regarded as
more of a run-stopper last
season after transferring
from junior college. He’s
thriving in the increased
role as an edge rusher.
“It’s just the process
here and all of the things
that the coaches have
game planned for us week
in and week out,” Buggs
said. “As long as we exe-
cute that as a team we’ll
be fine. It’s not necessar-
ily about me, it’s about the
team.”
Saban said Texas A&M
was Buggs’ best perfor-
mance but that coaches
are still looking for more
consistency. In the mean-
time, he has proven hard
to block.
“He’s just a big, phys-
ical presence,” Alabama
tight end Hale Hentges
said. “Anytime you go
against him in practice
you know you have to
buckle your chinstrap. He
brings a lot of energy, a lot
of juice. He’s hard to move
off the ball.”

to the quarterback.”
Extra pressure on
Ta’amu would certainly
help, but LSU cornerback
Greedy Williams said the
secondary is the last line
of defense that must hold
up.
“We have to play them
tight. It was a bad game
for the back end last
week,” Williams said.
“We all made mistakes.
In the game of football,
things like that happen. It
is how you bounce back.
Our guys have to practice
more focused.”
The Ole Miss offense
is out to prove its offense
can work against an elite
opponent. The Rebels
scored a touchdown on
their first offensive play
against No. 1 Alabama,
but were then shut down
in a 62-7 loss two weeks
ago.
Brown said LSU’s de-
fense will provide a simi-
lar challenge.
“I respect each and
every one of them, espe-
cially Greedy Williams,”
Brown said. “Those are
some great players we’re
going to be matched up
with.”
In the Alabama game,
the Tide’s defense did a
good job at disrupting
Ta’amu’s timing and bat-
ting down passes at the
line of scrimmage. Ta’amu
was 7-for-22 passes for 133
yards, one touchdown and
two interceptions, which
were easily his worst stats
of the season.
Ole Miss coach Matt
Luke said the Alabama
and LSU defenses have
different strengths and
different strategies, but
he doesn’t expect things
to be any easier this Sat-
urday.
“LSU is very, very tal-
ented at all three levels.
That’s what I see when
I watch the tape,” Luke
said. “They’re very good
up front, really fast at line-
backer and they’re long at
corner.”

Johnson
Continued from Page 2B
Johnson is doing her part to help MSU
accomplish those goals. She has three
goals (six points) and is averaging a lit-
tle more than 45 minutes a match for the
season.
“Since the spring, the main thing is mak-
ing sure I am that combative player,” John-
son said. “I am working on it day by day.”
Johnson said she was more laid back
prior to realizing she had to change her
ways. She said she has used the exam-
ple of teammates Carly Mauldin and AK
Ward in an effort to change her game. She
said Mauldin has impressed her with her
“combative” style of play, while Ward is so
skillful that she has tried to emulate her
accuracy passing the ball.
Anagnost said Johnson ability to play
like that has been infectious. He said she
now has a greater understanding that she
has to try to win every ball and not accept
it if she doesn’t win one and tries to get the
next one.
“She always has been a talented play-
er and person,” Anagnost said. “But that
doesn’t equate to impacting games. The
last two games, for sure, she has been
impactful and she has changed the game
and made us better. I hope she continues
to ascend.”
Anagnost said Johnson has helped
connect her teammates. He also said she
has defended well and been winning balls,
which are qualities that have helped her
stand out. He said he hopes she continues
to develop into a player who makes an im-
pact all over the field.
Johnson made her presence felt in a
2-1 overtime victory against then-No. 13
South Carolina on Sept. 20 in Starkville.
Johnson stepped forward and converted a
penalty kick in the second half to tie the
match at 1. The goal set the stage for Za-
kirah McGillivary’s game-winning goal
that secured one of the program’s biggest
victories.
Johnson isn’t versed on the history of
the MSU women’s soccer program. In-
stead, Johnson and her classmates are
focused on creating some history thanks
to their willingness to grind it out and to
maintain pressure on opponents. Johnson
said it took her time to realize that is how
she had to play if she wanted to be on the
field as much as possible. Now that she
has reaped the benefits of that style of
play, she said she doesn’t intend to stop.
“Seeing my teammates give it their all
on every tackle made me realize I wanted
to be out there with them playing my hard-
est,” Johnson said. “It was after the Wis-
consin game. After that my minutes went
down and I had to reflect on what I was do-
ing to get better at it. I saw AK winning ev-
ery tackle and Carly winning every tackle.
If I wanted to play in the middle, I had to
go in and make a difference. That was my
main thing going into the SEC games.”
Anagnost likes what he has seen from
Johnson and hopes she continues to trans-
form into a more assertive player.
“If she turns into that, she is going to be
unbelievable,” Anagnost said.

LINDSEY ON USM
Auburn offensive coordinator Chip
Lindsey got his first job running a col-

worked from 2014-15.
“I thoroughly enjoyed my time there,”
Lindsey said. “We were in a situation
where we were trying to rebuild the pro-

It’s very rewarding. The people there love

He left for Arkansas State before return-

The teams are 4-4 in games decided by

spoken between you, creates a
series of mental and emotional
shortcuts that outsiders won’t
begin to understand. Cherish
this. It’s super special.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Oddly, you’ll let go of the
controls and then things start
to happen for you. This is partly
because you set things up so
well in earlier stages, and partly
because key people feel freer
to perform once you take a few
steps back.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). What happens today will
definitely help you hone your
critical ability to recognize the
difference between superb,
mediocre and shoddy work.
Mastering this will ensure you
continue to gravitate toward
excellence.
