Mississippi has options for new secretary of state

By EMILY WAGSTER PET TUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi
voters are choosing a new sec-
retary of state this year, and
the two candidates are divided
over some big proposals for the
office.
Democrat Johnny DuPree
says he would push legislators
to authorize online registration
for new voters. Republican Mi-
chael Watson says he’d support
that only with assurances that
cybersecurity wouldn’t be com-
promised.
Watson says he wants the
secretary of state’s office to
take over the responsibility of
issuing driver’s licenses — a
service that’s provided by the
Department of Public Safety
and is plagued by long lines.
DuPree says he opposes mov-
ing the licensing process.
Mississippi’s current secre-
tary of state, Republican Del-
bert Hosemann, has held the of-
fice for three terms and is now
facing state Rep. Jay Hughes in
the race for lieutenant governor.
The secretary of state’s of-
fice has a wide range of duties.
It’s the place where candidates
file campaign finance reports
and businesses file documents
of incorporation. The secretary
of state regulates charities,
securities, pre-need funeral

plans, perpetual care cemeter-
ies and relationships between
sports agents and athletes.
The office oversees public-land
leases, which generate mon-
ey for schools. The office also
publishes state regulations and
compiles the Mississippi Of-
ficial and Statistical Register,
commonly called the blue book.
Both of the nominees for sec-
retary of state have experience
in public office.
Watson, 41, of Pascagoula,
is an attorney has served three
terms as a state senator in a dis-
trict that’s entirely in coastal
Jackson County.
DuPree, 65, is a real estate
broker and served 16 years as
Hattiesburg mayor. He was pre-
viously a Forrest County super-
visor and Hattiesburg school
board member. He was also the
Democratic nominee for gover-
nor in 2011, falling to Republi-
can Phil Bryant in the general
election.
This year, as in 2011, DuPree
is running what he describes
as “a very peaceful campaign”
while being far outspent.
“I think it’s very difficult
for Democrats in Mississippi
to win, simply because people
don’t believe Democrats can
win and therefore it’s difficult
to raise funds,” DuPree said
Oct. 3 when he and Watson
took part in a candidate forum
at William Carey University in
Hattiesburg.
The candidates were asked
about the biggest change they
would propose as secretary of
state. Watson said it would be
taking over the issuing of driv-

Family seeks answers after police kill Texas woman at home

The Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas
— A white police officer
who killed a black wom-
an inside her Texas home
while responding to a
neighbor’s call about an
open front door “didn’t
have time to perceive a
threat” before he opened
fire, an attorney for the
woman’s family said.
“You didn’t hear the
officer shout, ‘Gun, gun,
gun,’” attorney Lee Mer-
ritt said after viewing
video taken from a Fort
Worth officer’s bodycam
during Saturday’s shoot-
ing of Atatiana Jeffer-
son, 28. “He didn’t have
time to perceive a threat.
That’s murder.”
Her family told K X AS
television that Jefferson
was watching her 8-year-
old nephew when she was
killed early Saturday.
The Fort Worth Po-
lice Department said in
a statement that officers
saw someone near a win-
dow inside the home and
that one of them drew his
duty weapon and fired af-
ter “perceiving a threat.”
The video released by
police shows two officers
searching the home from
the outside with flash-
lights before one shouts,
“Put your hands up,
show me your hands.”
One shot is then fired
through a window.
“It’s another one of
those situations where
the people that are sup-
posed to protect us are
actually not here to pro-
tect us,” said Jefferson’s
sister, Amber Carr.
“You know, you want
to see justice, but jus-
tice don’t bring my sister
back,” Carr said.
An aunt, Venitta Body,

Steens man arrested after pursuit with law enforcement

DISPATCH STAFF REPORT
A high-speed chase that ran several
motorists off the road in east Lowndes
County Friday evening resulted in the
arrest of a man for felony charges of auto
theft and fleeing from law enforcement.
Gregory Cole Johnson, 23, of Steens
was arrested by Lowndes County Sheriff
Office deputies after the pursuit that be-
gan on Highway 12 in Steens and ended
on Highway 50 after the tire sparks dis-
abled the vehicle Johnson was driving.
Deputies were dispatched to 8238
Highway 12 E. in Steens when a custom-
er at the Old Country Store reported his
vehicle, which he had left running, had
been taken. As the LCSO deputy was
taking the report, a vehicle passed the
location matched the description of the
stolen vehicle and LCSO deputies, after
confirming the identity of the car, began
the pursuit.
LCSO said speeds exceeded 80 mph
during the pursuit and several cars were
run off the road as Johnson fled.
Johnson was charged with two felo-
nies — felony taking of a motor vehicle
and fleeing from law enforcement.
Lowndes County Adult Detention
Center officials did not provide The Dis-

time.
Johnson is in custody at Lowndes

Ole Miss honors students wears
blackface, prompts warning
OXFORD — A University of Mis-
sissippi honors student has reported
himself to the college for posting a
photo online of him wearing blackface,
prompting the school to issue a warning
about costumes.
Citing a school email, news outlets
report the student told the college he ac-
knowledged “the racist and hurtful im-
pact of his poor judgment.” The undated
photo shows the student also wearing an
honors college shirt.
The school sent an email to students
last week saying the student is now
working on a “Restorative Justice Plan”
that includes working with the group
negatively affected by his actions.
Another email titled “My Culture Is
Not A Costume” warns students to avoid
culturally inappropriate behavior and
cites “a recent post.” It also includes tips
on how to choose costumes that don’t de-
mean others.

“Right now, we see our
public having just a John
Brown heck of a time try-
ing to get their license,”
Watson said.
DuPree said the sec-
retary of state’s office
already has plenty of re-
sponsibilities. “Taking
over another state office, I
think, is really not the way
to do it,” he said.
DuPree said his big-
gest proposals would be
in election processes. In
addition to wanting on-
line registration for new
voters, he said he would
propose open primaries.
DuPree said people are
sometimes torn between
wanting to vote in one
party’s primary for sheriff
and another party’s pri-
mary for offices such as
secretary of state.
“People shouldn’t have
to make that decision,”
DuPree said.
Though he didn’t men-
tion Mississippi’s next-
door neighbor, Louisiana
puts all candidates on a

round of voting. Missis-

DuPree mentioned, in-
cluding changing elec-

Saturdays or changing
Mississippi’s statewide
elections from odd-num-
bered to even-numbered
years to make them co-
incide with federal elec-
tions.
While Watson raised
security concerns about
changing the voter reg-
istration process, the
Republican said the sec-
retary of state needs to
push to make it mandato-
ry, rather than optional,
for candidates to file cam-
paign finance forms that
users can easily search.
“Transparency is key,”
Watson said.

Before including Ms. Warren’s claims of pregnancy
discrimination in her article, perhaps (AP writer) Dee-
Ann Durban should have read the recent Wall Street Jour-
nal column which calls into question the legitimacy of
Warren’s story. Or perhaps Ms. Durban is not sure which
version of the Warren tale to believe. “Facts” have a way
of morphing to fit the audience. I believe it was my father
who once told me that most politicians had two higher ed-
ucation degrees after their names. Those would be BS
and PhD, to which he added Bull S__t, Piled High and
Deep.

Secrecy leads to Ole Miss fiasco
Ford Dye, the Mississippi College Board member who
chaired the search for a chancellor at the University of
Impeachment inquiry

Trump thinks he’s above the law

Mississippi, said last week that the board rushed to name
Glenn Boyce as its choice so Boyce could get to work
quickly “to unify the Ole Miss family.”
Talk about miscalculations.
The selection of Boyce was so unifying that it spurred
a protest of students Friday that caused cancellation of the
ceremony at which Boyce was supposed to be formally in-
troduced as the new head of the state’s flagship university.
The students’ protests aside, Boyce may be just what
Ole Miss needs. He is an alumnus of the school and has
worked as an administrator at the public school, communi-
ty college and senior college level, including serving three
years as the commissioner of higher education, overseeing
all eight of the state’s public universities. He had a repu-
tation, while serving as president of Holmes Community
College for almost a decade, as being student-centered.
But his selection also comes with suspicions — in large
part because he was a paid consultant early in the search
process and publicly said he was not a candidate for the
job. This may not be how it went down, but it’s hard to
blame anyone on the outside from thinking that Boyce was
not an impartial participant when he was supposedly get-
ting feedback from students, faculty and alumni on what
they wanted to see in the next chancellor and checking out
some possible candidates.
The dissatisfaction about the selection of Boyce would
have been less, and perhaps totally avoided, if the College
Board had not conducted the process in secret, as it has
done with presidential searches since 2006.
As we have written multiple times over the years, what-
ever benefit comes from confidential presidential searches
is outweighed by the negatives of leaving the public in the
dark about how the College Board settled on its ultimate
choice and not disclosing whoever else might have been in
the running.
Had Mississippi conducted its search the way it used to
and the way many states still do, it would have announced
Boyce as one of its three or so finalists. The College Board
would have been forced to explain how his role in the
search process, for which he was paid around $87,000,
did not create a conflict of interest. And Boyce would have
been afforded the chance — while meeting face-to-face
with campus groups — to show that he could be this uni-
fying figure his bosses believe he will be BEFORE he was
offered the job.
Instead, Boyce is going to start with a cloud of distrust
hanging over him, with a sizable faction feeling it had no
input in his hire and with many feeling the whole search
process was just for show.
Ironically, Boyce could have done something to avoid
his current predicament had he advocated, while serving
as higher education commissioner, that the College Board
return to a more open presidential search process.
There is no evidence that closed searches have pro-
duced better selections. The closed searches, though,
have produced plenty of evidence of distrust and disap-
pointment in those selections. The Ole Miss fiasco should
dictate that the secrecy has got to stop.
Greenwood Commonwealth
Donald Trump is test-
ing whether he can claim
immunity from the rule of
law. That’s the plain mean-
ing of the announcement
that his administration will
not cooperate in any way
with the House impeach-
ment inquiry.
The letter released
by White House counsel
Pat Cipollone brands the
impeachment inquiry an Mona Charen
effort “to overturn the
results of the 2016 election
... President Trump and his Administration cannot
participate in your partisan and unconstitutional
inquiry under these circumstances.” In Trump’s
words, it’s a “kangaroo court.”
Nearly everything in that statement is false.
Cipollone now joins a long line of sycophants who
have offered up their integrity on Trump’s altar.
“Unconstitutional”? It’s hard for something to be
unconstitutional when it’s explicitly mentioned
in the Constitution. Check Article II, Section 4.
An effort to undo the 2016 election? Even in the
unlikely event that Trump were removed from
office, it would be Mike Pence, not Hillary Clinton,
who would assume office. Partisan? Half true.
Some Republicans have been mouthing Trump
talking points, but others have expressed serious
concern about Trump’s abuse of office. Besides,
impeachments have always featured a heavy dose
of partisanship. That neither delegitimizes nor ex-
plains them. Forty-three out of 45 presidents have
managed to avoid impeachment (Nixon resigned)
despite ever-present partisanship.
As for the proper body to investigate presiden-
tial wrongdoing, as The Washington Post’s James
Hohmann notes, Trump is arguing that Congress
has no authority to investigate him through
impeachment and arguing the exact opposite in
another case. The Manhattan district attorney is
seeking Trump’s tax returns. There, Trump is con-
tending that the court lacks jurisdiction because
“the framers” established impeachment as the sole
recourse to hold presidents accountable.
Let’s consider accountability. We hear constant-
ly that the verdict of the voters should not be lightly
overturned. True. But the founders knew power
was dangerous, and elections were only one way
they devised to prevent its abuse. They divided
powers among the branches. They staggered sen-
ators’ terms to permit some to be more insulated
from transitory public passions than others. They
devised the Electoral College to prevent the largest
states from exercising all the power in choosing
presidents and — this is often forgotten — to buffer
the judgments of the populace on selecting the
chief executive. (The last function of the Electoral
College is no longer in use.) And they authorized
Congress to impeach presidents and others.
The Constitution refers to “treason, bribery, or
other high crimes and misdemeanors,” leading
many to ask, “Where’s the crime?” But there need
not be a crime. If the president were to announce
tomorrow that he planned to submit all major deci-
sions to Recep Erdogan before acting, it wouldn’t
be a crime, but few constitutional scholars dispute
it would be impeachable.
Declining to abide by lawful subpoenas is a
direct challenge to the rule of law. And it is far
from the first. Trump has disfigured the pardon
power to reward friends. He has twisted trade law
into unrecognizable shape, claiming that “nation-
al security” required tariffs on Canadian steel.
He has declared a state of emergency to fund a
notional wall at the southern border — flouting the
explicit will of Congress — while acknowledging
on the same day that the emergency was bogus. He
has expanded the concept of executive privilege to
apply to those who’ve never worked in the White
House. He has demanded personal loyalty from
career civil servants. He has instructed aides to
confiscate Americans’ property along the border,
promising that if the aides run into legal trouble,
he will pardon them later. He told border agents
to turn away all asylum-seekers. If an inconve-
nience, like U.S. law, should arise, they were to
say: “Sorry, judge. We don’t have the room.” He has
suggested that guns be taken from people without
due process. “Take the guns first,” the Red Queen
president said. “Go through due process second”
— which vitiates the whole concept of due process.
And he may even think this is legitimate. Speaking
to Turning Point USA in July, Trump said: “Then,
I have an Article II, where I have to the right to do
whatever I want as president. But I don’t even talk
about that.”
As someone who warned in 2013 about a “dan-
gerous new level of government by decree,” I don’t
need lectures about how it didn’t start with Trump.
But this level of flagrant norm-shattering and proud
lawbreaking demands more than tut-tutting. Along
with the shakedown of foreign countries to get
dirt on opponents, Trump is demonstrating that he
truly believes he is above the law. A nation of laws
cannot tolerate that.

Japan looks for missing

after typhoon kills dozens
The Associated Press
NAGANO, Japan — Rescue crews
dug through mudslides and searched
near swollen rivers Monday as they
looked for those missing from a ty-
phoon that left dozens dead and caused
serious damage in central and northern
Japan.
Typhoon Hagibis unleashed torrents
of rain and strong winds Saturday, leav-
ing thousands of homes on Japan’s main
island flooded, damaged or without
power.
A riverside section of Nagano, north-
west of Tokyo, was covered with mud,
its apple orchards completely flooded
and homes still without electricity.
Japan’s Kyodo News agency reported
that 48 people died from the typhoon,
17 were missing and some 100 were in-
jured.
The government’s Fire and Disaster
Management Agency, which is gener-
ally more conservative in assessing its
numbers, said 24 people were dead and
nine were missing.
Experts said it would take time to
accurately assess the extent of damage,
and the casualty count has been grow-
ing daily.
Hagibis dropped record amounts of
rain for a period in some spots, accord-
ing to meteorological officials, caus-
ing more than 20 rivers to overflow. In
Kanagawa prefecture, southwest of To-
kyo, 100 centimeters (39 inches) of rain
was recorded over 48 hours.
Some of the muddy waters in streets,
fields and residential areas have subsid-
ed. But many places remained flooded
Monday, with homes and surround-
ing roads covered in mud and littered
with broken wooden pieces and debris.
Some places normally dry still looked
like giant rivers.
Some who lined up for morning soup
at evacuation shelters, which are hous-
ing 30,000 people, expressed concern
about the homes they left behind. Sur-
vivors and rescuers will also face colder
weather, with northern Japan turning
chilly this week.
Soldiers and firefighters from
throughout Japan were deployed to
assist with rescue efforts. Helicopters
could be seen plucking some of the
stranded from higher floors and roof-
tops of submerged homes.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the
government would set up a special di-
saster team, including officials from
various ministries, to deal with the fall-
out from the typhoon, including helping
those in evacuation centers and boost-
ing efforts to restore water and electric-
ity to homes.
“Our response must be rapid and
appropriate,” Abe said, stressing that
many people remained missing and
damage was extensive.
Damage was especially serious in
Nagano prefecture, where an embank-
ment of the Chikuma River broke.
In one area, a few vehicles in used
car lots were flipped over by the waters
that had gushed in, covering everything
with mud. Apples swept from the flood-
ed orchards lay scattered in the mud.
Areas in Miyagi and Fukushima pre-
fectures in northern Japan were also
badly flooded.
In such places, rescue crew pad-
dled in boats to reach half-submerged
homes, calling out to anyone left strand-
ed.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said 35,100
homes were still without electricity ear-
ly Monday evening in Tokyo and nearby
prefectures that the utility serves. That
was down from nearly 57,000 earlier in
the day.
East Japan Railway Co. said Hokuri-
ku bullet trains were running Monday
but were reduced in frequency and
limited to the Nagano city and Tokyo
routes.
Mimori Domoto, who works at Naga-
no craft beer-maker Yoho Brewing Co.,
said all 40 employees at her company
were confirmed safe, though deliveries
were halted.
“My heart aches when I think of the
damage that happened in Nagano. Who
would have thought it would get this
bad?” she said.
Tama River in Tokyo overflowed, but
the damage was not as great in the capi-
tal as in other areas. Areas surrounding
Tokyo, such as Tochigi, also suffered
damage.
Much of life in Tokyo returned to
normal on Monday. People were out and
about in the city, trains were running,
and store shelves left bare when people
were stockpiling were replenished.

Syrian army moves to confront Turkish forces as US withdraws
The Associated Press
AKCAKALE, Turkey — Syrian
government troops moved into a se-
ries of towns and villages in north-
ern Syria Monday, setting up a po-
tential clash with Turkish-led forces
in the area, as U.S. troops prepared
to pull out.
The Syrian army’s deployment
near the Turkish border came
hours after Syrian Kurdish forces
previously allied with the U.S. said
they had reached a deal with Presi-
dent Bashar Assad’s government to
help fend off Turkey’s invasion, now
in its sixth day.
The announcement of a deal
between Syria’s Kurds and its gov-
ernment is a major shift in alliances
that came after President Donald
Trump ordered all U.S. troops with-
drawn from the northern border
area amid the rapidly spreading
chaos.
The shift sets up a potential
clash between Turkey and Syria
and raises the specter of a resur-
gent Islamic State group as the U.S.
relinquishes any remaining influ-
ence in northern Syria to Assad and
his chief backer, Russia.
The fighting also seems likely to
endanger, if not altogether crush,
the brief experiment in self-rule set
up by Syria’s Kurds since the war
began.
Syrian troops arrived on Monday
in the northern province of Raqqa
aboard buses and pickup trucks
with mounted heavy machineguns.

Profile
Continued from Page 1A
science major — which,
he said, he hated — he
signed up for a dance
class on campus just for
fun. The teacher for that
class, however, saw poten-
tial in his footwork and
soon Shoemaker earned
a scholarship to study
ballet at MUW.
From there, Shoemak-
er studied on scholarship
at the Pittsburgh Ballet
Theatre before starting
his professional career
with the Ballet Mississip-
pi company in Jackson,
with which he performed
for six years across the
Southeast. He’s per-
formed as a guest artist
with companies from Ala-
bama, Louisiana, Tennes-
see and Texas, and he’s
been assistant production
manager three times for
international ballet com-
petitions in Jackson.
During his career,
Shoemaker has studied
with dancers from En-
gland, Russia, Cuba and a
half-dozen other coun-
tries. His favorite places
to perform, however, are
in South Louisiana.
“I love the Cajuns,” he
said. “They always had
great receptions with
good food and usually
lots of wine. Just great
people.”
Shoemaker started
teaching in 1992 when
he cofounded the Mis-
sissippi Metropolitan
Ballet in Madison. Since
returning to Columbus,
one of his primary goals
is removing the stigma
from boys learning to
dance — something
that kept him from even
trying until he was 19. He
teaches a boys’ class at
Wherehouse each week,
and the ones who give it a
try tend to quickly see its
value, he said.
“It’s tough to recruit
because there is such a
stereotype,” Shoemak-
er said. “But anything
you would hear from a
football, basketball or
baseball coach about
discipline or teamwork,
the same applies to ballet.
It requires discipline
because it’s so physical,
and you have to trust your
teammates because if one
domino falls, they all fall.”
The audience that has
been most receptive, he
said, is soccer players.
“One boy, his soccer
game has improved,
because his footwork has
gotten better,” Shoemak-
er said.
For Shoemaker, dance,
at long last, has brought
him back to where he
believes he belongs. It’s
actually his third time
living in Columbus — he
came back briefly in the
‘90s and taught at MUW
— but this time, he’s here
for good. Wherehouse, he
said, is the “most nur-
turing environment” in
which he has ever taught
and his life, generally, is
working out pretty well.
“This is my home,” he
said. “I’ve bought a house
here. I’m staying.”

and that he doesn’t know
yet whether the hold had
been in place and MDOC
officials overlooked it or
whether LCSO officials
failed to notify them of
the hold in the first place.
Capt. Ryan Rickert, ad-
ministrator for Lowndes
County Adult Detention
Center, said he doesn’t
know why Murry was al-
lowed to be paroled.
“He was arraigned
(on the murder charge)
and sent back with the
arraignment, so (MDOC
officials) knew he had a
pending charge,” he said.
However, MDOC
spokesperson Grace Fish-
er said MDOC officials
notified Lowndes County
officials — which typical-
ly includes the sheriff’s,
DA’s and circuit clerk’s
office — of Murry’s pend-
ing release back in Sep-
tember.
“Procedurally we noti-
fy county officials when
an inmate is about to be
released,” she said. “ ...
We did not get any, no
feedback, nothing to in-
dicate that we should not
release this individual.”
Murry was indicted for
Ward’s murder in Febru-
ary. He was also charged
in September 2018 with
conspiracy to commit a
crime after he and his
girlfriend, Shanice Not-
tage, 26, attempted to
break him from Lowndes
County jail by having
Nottage impersonate a
Mississippi Department
of Corrections officer and
pretend to take him into
custody.

Tennessee Volunteers wide receiver Tyler Byrd (10) runs away from Mississippi State Bulldogs safety Somon Anderson (25) for a touchdown at Neyland Stadium.
Defensive miscue leads to back-breaking touchdown against Volunteers
By Ben Portnoy
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — Wel-
come back folks. It’s time
for another edition of
Portnoy’s Playbook.
During our week apart,
the Mississippi State foot-
ball team was, in theory,
preparing for a road trip
to Tennessee. But Satur-
day, the Bulldogs looked
discombobulated, out of
sync, and downright un-
prepared to play against
the far inferior (on paper,
at least) Volunteers.
“It’s tough to win a
game week-to-week —
doesn’t matter who it is,”

Garrett Shrader said

The Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
— Minshew Mania didn’t
have a prayer against
New Orleans.
Rookie quarterback
Gardner Minshew was
harassed, hurried and
humbled in a 13-6 loss to
the Saints on Sunday, his
worst performance of the
season coming just a few
hours after Pope Francis
accidentally tweeted sup-
port for the visiting team.
“Today we give thanks
to the Lord for our new
#Saints,” Pope Francis
tweeted. “They walked
by faith and now we in-
voke their intercession.”
The hashtag and cap-
italization inadvertently
kind of came out thinking
we were more ready than
we were and we didn’t ex-
ecute how we planned to.”
As was the case for
much of the game, the
defining play of the after-
noon came on a miscom-
munication from the MSU
defense.
Trailing by three with
under three minutes re-
maining, the Bulldogs
promptly allowed Tennes-
see to pick up three first
downs — culminating in
a 39-yard touchdown pass
from Jarrett Guarantano
to Tyler Byrd with 2:35
left to put the Volunteers
up by 10.
With MSU lined up in
their patented 4-2-5 de-
fense, the Tennessee of-
added the Fleur de Lis,
the emblem associated
with the Saints and worn
on their helmets. It was
widely regarded as a
good omen for New Or-
leans.
The Saints (5-1) took it
from there, holding Min-
shew without a touch-
down pass for the first
time in six games and
limiting the Jaguars (2-
4) to a season-low 226
yards.
“I told our defense I
felt like if they played
eight quarters they were
not going to score a
touchdown today,” Saints
coach Sean Payton said.
The Saints retweet-

running back Ty Chan-

alongside Guarantano.
Upon the snap, Byrd,
Means and Keyton ran
short curl routes of three,
five and seven yards out-

In the backfield, Guar-
antano faked a handoff
to Chandler, forcing se-
nior safety Jaquarius
Landrews to crash toward
the quarterback and
freeze on the play.
With Landrews
pinched too tight, Guran-

him to Byrd just beyond
the line of scrimmage.

fenders on the left side —
Landrews, junior safety C.J.
Morgan, senior nickelback
Brian Cole and freshman
cornerback Martin Emer-
son.
Tasked with keeping

Landrews, pinched inside,
leaving the sideline open.
With one blocker in front,
Emerson was bumped by
Means before missing on a
sprawling attempt at a shoe-
lace tackle. Morgan, too,
had an angle on Byrd early
in the play, but went upfield
and collided with Means.
“It would have never

did my job and held con-
tain,” Cole said postgame.

for 163 yards and an inter-

times for a yard.
“It’s just about show-
ing different looks, try-
ing to confuse him into
throwing us the ball,”
Saints cornerback Eli Ap-
ple said. “He did that in
the second half.”
Teddy Bridgewater de-
livered the decisive play
in a defensive game. He
found Jared Cook for a
4-yard touchdown early
in the fourth, putting the
Saints ahead for good and
helping them improve to

Scampering down the
field, neither Morgan nor

ball carrier — giving the
Volunteers their second
touchdown of the day and,
ultimately, the back-break-
ing play of the afternoon.
“When they threw those
hitches I thought I was
going to be able to get to

in a desperation scramble
down the stretch.
Shrader Gave the Bull-
dogs a shot at a last-ditch
comeback effort to come
within seven when he took
the MSU offense down to
the Tennessee 18 yard line.
But as had been the case
much of the day, the Bull-
dogs misfired when it mat-
tered most as junior kicker
Jace Christmann shanked
a 36-yard field goal with 16
seconds left to grant Ten-
nessee the victory.
“I don’t know if we were
worn down, but we didn’t
make the plays necessary
to win the game,” junior
linebacker Erroll Thomp-
son said. “It is what it is.
We’ve just got to improve.”
Correa watched the
ball sail, then held up one
finger as he rounded the
bases. As he approached
home plate, he tossed
his helmet as if shooting
a basketball at the crowd
of teammates waiting for
him.
Game 3 is Tuesday
afternoon at Yankee Sta-
dium. Gerrit Cole, who is
18-0 in his last 24 starts
and led the majors in
strikeouts, starts for the
Astros against Luis Sev-

Strasburg starts for Nationals, up 2-0 on Cardinals in NLCS

The Associated press
WASHINGTON — aren’t chasing the ball
Thanks to some superb
pitching, the countdown is
on to the Washington Na-
tionals’ first World Series
appearance in franchise
history.
Up 2-0 on the St. Louis
Cardinals in the NL Cham-
pionship Series after near
no-hitters from Aníbal
Sánchez and Max Scher-
zer, the Nationals turn to
historically strong playoff
pitcher Stephen Strasburg
in Game 3 Monday with
the chance to take a stran-
glehold.
“They’re getting quick
outs. They’re constantly
ahead in counts,” Nationals
closer Sean Doolittle said
Sunday. “Those kinds of
things are kind of things
that, when you’re down
there in the bullpen, you
see that, and you feed off
that energy. So when your
number gets called, you ba-
sically want to do the same
thing. You want to pick up
where they left off and get
the ball to the next guy.”
Washington starting
pitchers are averaging
more than 6 1/3 innings
in the Division Series and
League Championship se-
ries, a startling reliance on
Strasburg, Scherzer, Sán-
chez and projected Game
4 starter Patrick Corbin.
That has lessened the load
of a bullpen that had the
tweak, but after analyt-
ics showed his hitters
out of the strike zone at
a higher rate, St. Louis is
ready to stay the course
without major changes.
“I understand we’re
in a sprint mode with be-
ing in a series like this,
but also trusting your
guys is pretty import-
ant,” Shildt said in the
visiting clubhouse Sun-
day. “One play, one thing
could turn this thing
completely around. We
believe that, and we feel
comfortable and confi-
dent with how this series
will go.”

“The game of base-
ball, it’s a beautiful
game,” Correa said.
The Yankees tied a
League Championship
Series record by using
nine pitchers. The eight
relievers had permitted
only one run and two
hits with 11 strikeouts
before Correa homered,
ending a game that took
4 hours, 49 minutes and
ended right around mid-
night.
Houston’s five reliev-
ers combined for 4 1/3
innings of one-hit shut-
out ball after taking over
for Justin Verlander. Go-
ing into this best-of-sev-
en series, the Yankees
were considered the bet-
ter team in the bullpen
— the Astros amply held
their own in this one.
“Our bullpen was nas-
ty, gave us a chance to
win the game,” Correa
said.
Gary Sánchez struck
out looking to end the
Yankees 11th with run-
ners on first and second.

ter he swung and missed
with two strikes, but was
ruled a foul ball.
New York lost for the
first time this postsea-
son after four wins.
“It was a struggle
tonight,” Yankees man-
ager Aaron Boone said.
“They’re tough to score
runs off, especially on a
night when Verlander is
out there.”
Aaron Judge hit a two-
run homer off Verlander
that put the Yankees
ahead 2-1 in the fourth.
George Springer tied it
in the fifth with a home
run on the first pitcher
after reliever Adam Ot-
tavino entered.

formance against Tampa
Bay, Bridgewater was
less effective against the
Jaguars. He missed wide-
open receivers Michael
Thomas and Ted Ginn for
would-be touchdowns.
But he did enough for
New Orleans’ defense,
which turned Minshew
Mania into mush.
The worst outing of
Minshew’s young career
came on the same day
the team, in conjunction
with the NFL, handed out
30,000 “Minshew mus-
taches” as fans entered
the gates.
“It was a tough day;
they’re a good team,”
Minshew said. “I missed
some balls I can’t miss.”
With the pope tweet-
ing about the Saints, what
chance did Minshew re-
ally have? It didn’t help
that he played with a sore
groin and a brace on his
left knee.
Minshew sat slumped
in the bowels of the stadi-
um, grass stains covering
his white pants, a hole
ripped in his undershirt
and a smoothie in hand.
But he made no excuses.
“We’ve got enough
guys to make plays and
we’re going to do better,”
he said.
Knockout Hit
Saints linebacker De-
mario Davis delivered
a knockout hit on tight
end Geoff Swaim in the
fourth. Swaim was seem-
ingly unconscious as he
hit the ground. Team
trainers and paramedics
rushed to his side. Davis
knelt next to Swaim and
removed his helmet.
Swaim eventually
walked off the field with-
out assistance. He was
placed in the league’s con-
cussion protocol.
“I know he was able to
walk off the field, but you
don’t know what the resid-
uals are,” said Davis, who
grew up in the same Mis-
sissippi city as Minshew.
“It’s a bang-bang league.
Sometimes those unfortu-
nate hits happen, and we
don’t like them.”
Ramsey Inactive
Jaguars cornerback Ja-
len Ramsey was inactive
for the third consecutive
week because of an appar-
ent back injury. Ramsey
was ruled out three days
after owner Shad Khan
said he expected the dis-
gruntled defender to play
against the Saints.
Homecoming Game
Jacksonville recog-
nized more than 80 for-
mer players before the
game and honored the
team’s top 25 players from
its 25 years of existence at
halftime. Left tackle Tony
Boselli, running back
Fred Taylor and receiver
Jimmy Smith got the big-
gest ovations during the
ceremony.
Lineup Tweak
Jacksonville kept rook-
ie linebacker Quincy
Williams on the bench.
Williams was taken out
in the fourth quarter of
last week’s loss at Caroli-
na. The third-round draft
pick was out of position
on many plays as the Pan-
thers ran for 285 yards,
the second most in Jack-
sonville’s history. Veter-
an backup Najee Goode
started in his place.
Key Injuries

Cowboys drop third straight with 24-22 loss to Jets
The Associated Press
EAST RUTHER-
FORD, N.J. — There’s no
panic in the Dallas Cow-
boys just yet.
They know how things
look from the outside, es-
pecially after a 24-22 loss
to the previously winless
New York Jets on Sunday.
Their confidence, howev-
er, remains unshaken —
even during a three-game
skid.
“It doesn’t change (any-
thing),” defensive end De-
Marcus Lawrence insist-
ed. “Not at all. We know
what happened today. We
beat ourselves, just like
last week.
“Now, it’s time to buck-
le down and get back go-
ing.”

The Cowboys are now
3-3 after starting with
three straight wins, and
they have a showdown
with the NFC East-rival
Philadelphia Eagles next
Sunday night.
“It’s a clean slate,”
quarterback Dak Prescott
said. “We’re 0-and-0 right
now. We’ve got a huge
game next week. It’s for
first in our division. We’ve
got to figure out a way to
turn this page and focus
on that.”
The Cowboys haven’t
lost three in a row since
the first three games of
running back Ezekiel El-
liott’s six-game suspen-
sion in 2017.

the past few weeks, and
it was more of the same
against New York. They
were also forced to play
without starting offensive
tackles La’el Collins and
Tyron Smith, and wide
receiver Amari Cooper
was sidelined for most of
the game after injuring
his quadriceps in the first
quarter.
“With injuries, without
injuries, you can’t get in
your own way,” Prescott
said. “That’s what we’ve
continuously done. We’ve
got to figure out a way to
do that. Great teams don’t
do that. Right now, we’re
far from that. We’ve got to
figure it out.”
The Jets led 21-9 in
the fourth quarter, but
Prescott and the top-
ranked Cowboys offense
stormed back — and had
a chance to tie in the wild
closing moments.
With Dallas marching
down the field, officials
called six straight penal-
ties during one stretch
including four on the Jets
putting the Cowboys in
scoring position.
Prescott ran for a
4-yard touchdown with 43
seconds left, making it a
two-point game. Going for
the tie, Prescott dropped
back and was quickly met
by a blitzing Jamal Adams
and his pass on the conver-
sion try fell short of Jason
Witten in the end zone.
“I saw that they brought
pressure, one more
than we could protect,”
Prescott said. “All the way
