Umbrellas may be dangerous to some unaware students. Let’s see what one aggrieved student has to say. Page 4 WWW.REDANDBLACK.COM Defense falters in loss to Auburn By RACHEL G. BOWERS TEe Red & Black AUBURN, Ala. Cam Newton is every bit of 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds. 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 sent to a bam where the German army wouldn’t even try to deceive the passen gers into clinging for hope. 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 SCOOT ON OVER Attention all scooter drivers: look at page 2 to gjgj&Jthe rules are working out Index Monday, November 15, 2010 fNicx Parker to be the bearer of bad news, but I can’t comprehend that optimism. Barring an NFL lockout, Georgia’s top playmakers on defense and offense Justin Houston and A. J. Green appear likely to be headed to the pros. And who could blame them?

Fearing her own death and living off rats and mice, she sent him to an orphanage for children who lost parents In the war. Walker slept on a small cot with sheets, ate soup and learned to sing. “It was the best thing that happened to me so far,” Walker said.

Georgia's issues on defense go a lot further than coaching or inex perience in the system. It’s a lack of talent and depth in key posi tions that Georgia is struggling with. For comparison, Mississippi State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz had one of the best defenses in the conference in his first year in Starkville while work ing with less talent. Georgia loses four defensive starters to graduation as well including top tackier Akeem Dent —and possibly Houston.

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 said later games i —i attract an extra 20.000 1 £ " 30,000 j people to j Athens. !

"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." WHAT'S THE STORY?
