Defense
falters in
loss to

Newton is every bit of

He is every bit of a show
boating Heisman Trophy
candidate who made
Auburn relevant again.
He is every bit deserving
of the praise he receives for
his on-the-field perfor
mance.
But it took a game in
which Georgia’s defense
gave the most points it has
all season 49 to show
just how easy it was to
move the ball against the
Bulldogs. The Georgia
defense allowed Auburn’s
offense to score a touch
down every time it touched
the ball in the second half.
“We had a lot of hype
wanting to go out and get
[a win] for the seniors. We
failed to do it,” safety
Bacarri Rambo said. “They
outplayed us. Cam Newton
he's a great player. We
just let him have his way
out there. They just had
their way out there.”
The defense gave up big
plays, had blown assign
ments, missed tackles and
let the Tigers essentially
march up and down the
field at will.
Sound familiar?
That’s because those
same things have consis
tently happened in all of
Georgia’s losses. But 11
games into the season, the
Bulldogs are still making
the same mistakes that led
to a 1-4 start, and they are
now at a 5-6 record head
ing into the bye week.

Dogs’ future holds similar outlook
AUBURN, Ala. - Mark Richt
was asked a simple question in his
post-game press conference
Saturday at Auburn: Why did this
season not go like you thought it
would?
“When you look at it, there
were, I think, a few plays, a few key
plays in the games that we lost,
not so much today, but they went
the other way and we didn’t win
the close games for an assortment
of reasons," Richt said. “I’ve said it
for years, the teams that can win
the close ones will be the champi
ons, and we didn’t win a close
game yet.”
Georgia is 0-5 in those games
this season, and as is so often the
tune during a losing season, the
“wait until next year” line is
already out in full effect. And not
Walker’s family would be

German army wouldn’t even
try to deceive the passen

Each family had a few feet of
straw and no food.
“I still remember one day
a soldier came and we
begged him we begged
him to give us more straw
because the straw we had
was infected by human
waste and lice,” Walker said.
“And he says, ‘Polks, you
don’t understand. We didn’t
bring you here to live. We
brought you here to die. And
we don’t want to waste any
bullets.’”
Some nights, the stron
ger males would wake him
up with a two-wheeled cart
used to stack logs for fire.
They would load up the cart
with dead bodies and place
them in a pile outside near a
shallow grave.
“They couldn’t dig deep
enough, but they did the
best they could and they
buried the bodies,” Walker
said. “All around there were
forests, and there were ani

But how much better?
Georgia's issues on defense go a
lot further than coaching or inex

Crime
down
after
games
Early kickoff

The Red & Black
Football weekends
aren’t known for safety, but
maybe they should be.
In 2006, The Red St
Black looked at University
Police Department logs
and found that compared
to normal weekends, crime
surged on gamed ays. But
for 2010 gamedays, crime is
at similar levels to non
gamed ay weekends.
Jimmy Williamson,
University Police chief, said
he attributes this to earner
kickoff times for the games.
They have typically been at
noon instead of later in the
afternoon like in previous
years.
“Games this year haven't
had the draw,” Williamson
said. “When we have earlier
kickoffs, we don’t see as
much people at Sanford
Stadium.”
With earlier kickoffs,
many ticket-less people
who just come to games to
party won’t bother show
ing up, Williamson said. He

“We have no way of
knowing from one weekend
to the next what the chal
lenges and calls of service
are going to be,” Williamson
said. "Pretty much every
one is working.”
He said the “main ingre
dient” of the crime police
deal with on gamedays is
overconsumption of alco
hol, which is lessened when
a game is earlier In the day.
Anthony Yates, a junior
from Bainbridge, said there
might be less drinking and
fewer large groups of peo
ple together because the
team is losing more games.
“We’re not doing well, so
maybe we’re not celebrat
ing that hard,” Yates said.
When asked what levels
of crime he expects for the
upcoming game against
Georgia Tech, a big rival,
Williamson said crime will
likely still be down.
He said few students will
be on campus, and even
the dorms are closed.
“We do have some crime,
but all of the students are
gone for the break,”
Williamson said. “Our stu
dent population Is way
down.”
He said though crime is
always the perpetrator’s
fault, drinking too much
puts people In risky situa
tions, which could lead
them to become victims.
"If we’re going to cut
down crime, it’s a partner
ship. not Just the police,”
he said. “Drink responsibly
so you can make good deci
sions."
