An injured and depleted Ole Miss team defeated the No. 6 LSU Tigers 27-24 on a field goal by kicker Andrew Ritter with two seconds remaining.

For the second week in a row, the Ole Miss Rebels found themselves in a game coming down to the final play to decide the result. However, this week, the result was in favor of the Rebels (4-3, 2-3 Southeastern Conference). With just six seconds left in the game, senior kicker Andrew Ritter connected on a 41-yard field goal to secure a 27-24 win over No. 6 LSU (6-2, 3-2 SEC) for the first time since 2009. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Ole Miss, which was coming off a heartbreaking 4138 loss to Texas A&M the previous week.

“I couldn’t be more proud of that staff and those kids to go through what they’ve been through, with the injuries and the outside world having their

opinion of things,” Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said.

“In the back of your mind, you always wonder as a coach if you can get a team ready to do things like this when you’re shorthanded and coming off an extremely disappointing loss. We’re thrilled to represent our university and Rebel Nation out there in a battle between two good football teams.

“I couldn’t be more proud of those young kids. We still didn’t make it pretty. We did some things that made it a bit difficult, but we found a way to get it done.”

With a depleted defense suffering from a long list of injuries, the Rebels were able to hold LSU to just 388 total yards on offense, but perhaps most importantly, force three first-half interceptions.

“I give the credit to our assistant coaches and the heart

of our kids,” defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said.

“We’ve had two difficult games that we could’ve won the previous weeks, and we weren’t able to finish. With a lot of guys missing, our guys were warriors and battled their hearts out. I was so proud of them the first half and what they did. I knew we would wear down a bit in the second half. We had a few breaks go against us, but fortunately, as a team, we won the game.”

The Rebel defense was able to contain an LSU offense that came into the game averaging over 40 points per game and over 450 yards per game. Young defensive players stepped up for Ole Miss in the game, including sophomore safety Chief Brown, who led the team with eight tackles and also added an interception in the end zone to stop an LSU drive.

man huskie Tony Conner and sophomore linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche both added seven tackles of their own, which was second on the team. Veteran junior safety Cody Prewitt continued to add to his solid season thus far with seven tackles and another interception, his fourth of the season.

Going into the game, many were concerned the Rebels would not be able to stop the trio of Jeremy Hill, Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry for LSU. However, Hill only tallied 64 rushing yards and a touchdown, and the Rebels only allowed one touchdown through the air to Landry and managed to keep both in check.

“Our plan was to keep them from getting the deep ball,” Ole Miss senior cornerback Charles Sawyer said. “Coach (Jason) Jones always preaches if they don’t have a deep ball

in the game, that gives you a chance to win it, and that’s what happened.”

Although the defense was able to consistently hold a highpowered offense, Ole Miss was able to make some big plays on the offensive side of the ball as well.

After losing starting senior running back Jeff Scott to injury earlier in the week, Ole Miss was forced to rely on sophomores Jaylen Walton and I’Tavius Mathers. Both Walton and Mathers had career days, with Walton leading the team in rushing. He went for 105 yards on 18 carries and scored two touchdowns. Mathers had 13 carries for 52 yards.

“We ran the football against a really good defense,” Freeze said. “Our offensive line played against a good defensive front.

BY CORY FERRAEZ cferraez@go.olemiss.edu

In my article last week, I wrote a bit on nullification.

For a quick refresher on my previous points: 1. Historians and legal scholars, including what’s taught in law schools, often have a onesided view of the concept on the supremacy of federal laws above all else (fortunately, not our law school; we’re well-balanced).

2. While race has played a role in nullification in Mississippi’s deplorable past, we can condemn those actions while still appreciating and engaging in the larger historical context of nullification and its useful purpose of restricting the growth of federal power.

Moreover, nullification has been used far more against freedomrestrictive laws (Fugitive Slave Act and others) than it has ever been used in support of them (school segregation).

3. States, red and blue, have used the nullification concept in recent years for issues ranging from drugs, national identification and health care to potentially restrictive federal gun laws.

4. Historical context is very important in understanding nullification, including constitutional text, states’ ratifying conventions and the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 authored by Madison and Jefferson (the Principles of ‘98).

Caveat for a heated issue: No doubt, several Southern states erred in conjuring nullificationesque words during segregation.

But like all governments, state and federal, we can expect flaws and failures. Supporters of nullification don’t think state governments are sound and the national government is terrible. They both are. As representative Jeff Smith (coauthor of our nullification or “neutralization” bill) often quotes Mark Twain: “No man’s life, liberty or property are safe when the legislature is in session.” I believe that can be applied to both state T H E D A I LY

and federal government.

Now, let’s take a step back and then go deeper into the rabbit hole, shall we?

First, more broadly, nullification means an act by a state that as its end result intends to render a federal law null, void or unenforceable in your state. It cannot be removed by executive order, rendered void by the Supreme Court or legally repealed by a law in Congress. It can only be overturned through a constitutional amendment. Importantly, for all you historians out there, nullification is not secession or insurrection.

Second, in the Principles of ‘98, Madison coined the term “interpose,” which others, far smarter than I could hope to become, believe is a close family member to nullification. Specifically, it’s a state act to question the constitutionality of a federal policy and “interpose” its sovereignty between, at least temporarily, the people of that state and the distant federal authority until the question of constitutionality is resolved.

While the Virginia Resolution used this interposition theory, Jefferson and the Kentucky Resolution clearly indicated the desire to nullify federal laws interpreted as unconstitutional (i.e., by using the word “nullification”). Both nullification and interposition stand firmly on the roots of the 10th Amendment.

By our friend’s logic on the opposite side of this issue, if we oppose states providing a check on federal laws that violate the Constitution (or decentralization), any deplorable act by our federal government, or other sovereign nations, naturally means that a world government is needed to check everyone. By that same reasoning under a world government, those who disagree with it, like I am here, would be attacked with how bad and chaotic decentralized government is. Besides those pushing for a stronger United Nations, most Americans don’t much care for the U.N. telling us what we can and can’t do. Nor do we care for international laws that place power in the hands of international bodies over our own government.

Third, nullification stems from the “compact theory” of our Union. That means: States preceded our Union (see the “free

and independent states” in our Declaration of Independence) and no government is sovereign — our people are sovereign. Because we are sovereign, when the entities we grant power to act with uncertainty in an unconstitutional manner, we have the ability to restrain such power. So what if states have different policies and views?

That’s what the compact theory necessarily means.

Fourth, it’s true. The Supreme Court wouldn’t uphold nullification. It certainly didn’t like it in its decision Ableman v. Booth (Wisconsin voided the fugitiveslave laws). Well, of course they wouldn’t like it. The court would lose power if it didn’t have the definitive last say on constitutional issues. And as we know from D.C., everything is about power. But what does it matter if the highest court in the land doesn’t approve or acknowledge it? If nullification is to be used correctly, it shouldn’t matter what direction federal edicts flow — executive, legislative or judicial.

To that I turn to Madison’s Report of 1800, which has a very telling passage: There must be some recourse for the judiciary

betraying the Constitution. While not placing too much emphasis on Madison himself, historian Kevin Gutzman clearly shows that Virginia’s General Assembly debates over the Principles of ‘98 found unconstitutional laws null and void. Thus, why can’t nullification be used as tool to disallow nonconstitutional laws from being enforced?

While on the subject of the Supreme Court, Thomas Woods once asked a critic of nullification if he would have supported it during the federal roundup of Japanese Americans during World War II. Interestingly, the critic replied it wouldn’t be necessary — for there is a Supreme Court case that would do just fine: Yick Wo v. Hopkins in 1866 that applied the equal protection clause. Hm, I certainly wouldn’t hold up a decision by the Supreme Court in the face of federal troops swooping in to capture Japanese citizens in our state. I’d much rather the states get together and tell the feds to go “f ” their roundup because it’s not going to happen within our borders.

Tuition increases coming for Ole Miss, Mississippi public universities JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Tuition is likely to be headed up at five of Mississippi’s eight public universities.

The College Board gave preliminary approval to tuition plans for the next two academic years Thursday.

The board must vote a second time before the plan becomes final.

Average in-state tuition and fees would rise 2.8 percent to $6,509 in fall 2014. In 2015, average tuition would rise 3 percent to $6,703.

The plans would push tuition above $7,000 a year at The University of Mississippi, Mississippi State University and the University of Southern Mississippi. The largest increases are at MSU and Ole Miss, which would both raise tuition by roughly 5 percent each year. USM proposes a pair of 3.5 percent increases.

Delta State University, Mississippi Valley State University and Mississippi University for Women plan no increases

over the next two years.

Alcorn State University and Jackson State University would also raise tuition, but by smaller percentages than Ole Miss and MSU. Many students don’t pay the sticker price, thanks to federal, state and college-based aid. But tuition charges are increasing much faster than family incomes, and students are generally borrowing more money to attend college.

Higher Education Commissioner Hank Bounds said Wednesday that some schools are raising prices while others are holding flat because larger institutions still have enough student demand to increase charges, while the state’s smaller institutions may not.

“Tuition increases are at the research institutions, the only exception being Alcorn, which plans a really minimal increase,” Bounds said. “I think it’s a market issue. We recognize we can price our-

selves out of the market.”

Mississippi universities have been using money from tuition increases to meet cuts in state funding since 2010, but also to provide pay increases to faculty members and other employees. Bounds said the pressure to compete with other universities on pay is most intense at Mississippi’s larger universities.

“Research institutions, compared to research institutions in other states, are the place where we’re seeing the big salary gaps,” Bounds said.

The College Board got a modest increase in legislative appropriations this year under a new formula for dispensing state aid to universities. The board is seeking an additional $20 million for the 2015 budget, which the Legislature will write early next year. Bounds said if much more or much less money was appropriated, university presidents could revisit their proposals.

I have great confidence in Jaylen and I’Tavius. Jaylen has quick acceleration. He did really well tonight and protected the ball. I’Tavius felt horrible about the fumble. That’s the first fumble by our backs this year. Coach (Derrick) Nix puts a lot of emphasis on protecting the ball, and I am pleased with their progress.”

Junior quarterback Bo Wallace also appeared to be back on track with his receivers, after struggling a bit in previous weeks with communication.

Wallace finished the game 30for-39 for 346 yards, but most importantly with no turnovers.

Things went the Rebels’ way most of the game, with Ole Miss jumping out to a 10-0 lead heading into halftime, thanks to a 28-yard field goal from Ritter and a 3-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Barry Brunetti to junior tight end Nick Parker. Walton would add a 2-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter to push the lead to 17-0, but LSU would fight back with 14 unanswered points of its own, on short touchdown runs from Kenny Hilliard and Jeremy Hill.

Walton would add his sec-

ond rushing touchdown of the game, this time from 26 yards, at the end of the third quarter to give the Rebels a 10-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. LSU would tie things up, however, with a field goal and a 4-yard touchdown pass from Zach Mettenberger to Landry.

Ole Miss would get the ball back with 3:15 left to play and use 14 plays to drive down the field to the LSU 24-yard line to set up Ritter for the gamewinning field goal.

“When I was out there, you’re thinking about your teammates and how close we’ve come, and now, it’s in my hands,” Ritter said. “I didn’t want to let them down, and I didn’t want to let this fan base down.”

Ritter wouldn’t let the Rebel faithful down, as he connected from 41 yards out to get the Rebels the win and the Magnolia Bowl trophy.

“It felt really good,” Ritter said. “You know when you hit a good ball and you know when you hit a bad ball. When I hit that ball, I knew I hit it good.”

Oxford City Market extends its season

BY AMINA AL SHERIF aalsher@go.olemiss.edu

After discussions with longterm vendors and the Board of Aldermen, the Oxford City Market will be open on Tuesdays from 3-6 p.m. until Nov. 26. It will also be accepting EBT cards and food stamps as forms of payment.

Oxford City Market Director Katie Morrison and her team of long-term vendors presented the extension proposal to Oxford Mayor Pat Patterson and the Board of Aldermen, who readily accepted the longer farmers market season.

“Many of our growers were thrilled to hear that we were considering keeping the market going well into the fall,

as they are still planting and growing lots of cool-weather crops,” Morrison said.

The fall, which is considered the height of harvest season, will allow for the sale of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Some include greens, peppers, broccoli, kale, turnips, apples and beets.

Morrison said that extending the market has attracted attention from growers in locations such as Union County and Jackson.

“Many of those markets have ended their seasons, so farmers are looking for places to continue selling,” Morrison said.

Oxford City Market vendors agree that the extension until Thanksgiving will be positive both for their busi-

ness and for their customers.

“Extending our market until Thanksgiving will give the vendors and shoppers many more opportunities,” vendor Leann Hines said.

The market has also established EBT card readers and now accepts food stamps as a form of payment.

After a long process of working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture as well as the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce, the proposal was approved.

“One of the main reasons the city invested its time and efforts into Oxford City Market was to increase citizens’ access to local healthy foods,” Morrison said. “This will definitely have a positive impact on the community by allowing those that use these programs to make healthier choices for their families.”

However, vendor Daniel Wicker believes that the approved EBT cards will not be used much.

“We receive virtually no business from EBT cards or food stamps,” Wicker said. “A significant portion of our customer base would likely not consist of low-income customers.”

Wicker believes the acceptance of EBT cards and food stamps will not allow the lowincome families of Oxford to eat local fresh organic produce “on anything more than an occasional basis.”

“At the same time, consumption of these products should help enhance the health of any low-income consumers,” he said.

Amelia Brunson, senior liberal arts major at The University of Mississippi and volunteer for the Oxford City

Market, believes it is wonderful that Oxford City Market is accepting EBT and food stamps.

“Good, homegrown, healthy food should be accessible to everyone. I think a lot of Mississippi’s obesity problems stem from the accessibility and affordability of processed junk foods,” Brunson said.

Oxford City Market has connected with the city’s resources to make access easier for its population. The Oxford University Transit bus system now runs the yellow line to a stop by the market, which has now also partnered with the Oxford Food Pantry and Good Food for Oxford Schools.

“We will be exploring additional ways that Oxford City Market can reach throughout the community to share our message of eating locally, sustainably and healthily,” Morrison said.

Morrison is hoping to have cooking demonstrations featured at Oxford City Market in the future to show customers ways to create heathy and wholesome meals with their produce.

Ole Miss volleyball gets first SEC win against UT

BY TYLER BISCHOFF tfbischo@go.olemiss.edu

FRIDAY: OLE MISS 3, TENNESSEE 1 The Ole Miss women’s volleyball team trailed Tennessee 14-11 in the second set. Ole Miss was in danger of falling behind by two sets as the Volunteers had already taken the first set. But Ole Miss got a boost when senior Kara Morgan went back to serve and Ole Miss went on a 6-0 run.

Ole Miss (11-9, 1-6 Southeastern Conference) outscored Tennessee (8-12, 0-6 SEC) 66-44 over the last two and a half sets and picked up its first SEC victory.

Morgan picked up a doubledouble with 10 kills and 13 digs.

She used an off-speed hit to attack the Tennessee defense and spur the Ole Miss run.

When Tennessee adjusted,

the court opened up for more aggressive attacking from the Rebels. Morgan’s soft attacking helped to set up double-digit kill performances from Melanie Crow, Ty Laporte and MariePierre Bakima. Crow had a gamehigh hitting percentage of .414; her season average entering the match was .234.

“When you look at where they were playing defensively, and digging the ball so well, something’s got to be open,” head coach Joe Getzin said. “It doesn’t have to be a hard kill. Sometimes just that soft touch is what loosens up the defense for you.”

Freshman setter Aubrey Edie had a career-high 48 assists as she helped key the Ole Miss attackers.

Her previous career high was 44 assists against Georgia. “(She’s) the quarterback of the team,” Getzin said. “I think she

Defensively, Ole Miss dominated at the net as it posted 18 blocks to Tennessee’s seven. Along with Morgan’s 13 digs, Cara Fisher, Evan St. Laurent and Edie posted at least seven digs.

“It feels great,” Morgan said of the first SEC win. “It feels like we deserve it. We worked our butts off in practice, and we responded (to that). That’s obviously what we needed.”

SUNDAY: SOUTH CAROLINA 3, OLE MISS 1 Ole Miss lost a critical third set to South Carolina, in which there were 10 ties and five lead changes.

The set gave South Carolina (11-9, 3-5 SEC) a 2-1 lead that they turned into a 3-1 victory on Sunday over Ole Miss (11-10, 1-7 SEC).

“We really lost our momentum

and gave them confidence,” sophomore Ty Laporte said.

“Volleyball is definitely a game of confidence. You need to finish because when they come back in the next game, they’re more confident than you are.”

South Carolina won the third set 25-23 and went on to control the fourth set 25-18.

Both Getzin and South Carolina head coach Scott Swanson were upset by multiple referee decisions.

They both delayed play to question the referees, and Getzin received a

yellow card, while Swanson was not penalized.

Senior Juliette Thevenin was the key for South Carolina. She finished with a match-high 25 kills on 58 total attacks. In the second set, the only set Ole Miss won, Thevenin was held to just three kills and a negative hitting percentage of -.062. But in the fourth and deciding set, she had 10 kills and a hitting percentage of .615.

Notebook: Walton sparks Ole Miss rushing attack

Jaylen Walton rushes for a first down during Saturday’s game against LSU.

The Rebels had a tough task ahead of them Saturday. They had to find some way to run the ball against an impressive LSU defense without leading rusher Jeff Scott, who has 434 yards rushing on the season while averaging 8.2 yards per carry and adding two touchdowns as well. That answer came in the form of sophomore Jaylen Walton.

“Playing behind Jeff, I learned a lot,” Walton said.

“We’re pretty much the same size and have the same mentality for running the football.

He gets the job done, so I figured it was my time to step up and get the job done.”

Prior to the LSU game, Walton had 129 yards on the ground, averaging about 3.8 yards per carry on the season. Against the Tigers, Walton broke out, picking up 106 yards with a 5.6 yard average as well as adding two pivotal third-quarter touchdowns.

Walton also had three receptions for 24 yards on the day.

“It felt really good,” Walton said of his performance. “Af-

ter all the hard work I’d put in, a lot of blood, sweat and tears, so I kind of expected to have a good game.”

Walton gave much of the credit for the Rebels’ strong run game to the offensive line.

“I think this is probably their best game, and this is the big stage against No. 6 LSU, who’s known for a great defense,” Walton said. “As a running back, you want a crease, you can’t ask for too much, but after you pass the first level, it’s really up to you to make the second-level defender miss, and that’s what we did.”

Defense steps up Ole Miss went into Saturday limping. Several players, mostly starters, were out and facing an LSU offense that was putting up points on virtually everyone it’s played this season seemed like an improbable task. But the Rebel defense didn’t falter.

The Ole Miss defense played admirably all game, shutting out the Tigers in the first half for the first time all season and forcing quarterback Zach Mettenberger to throw three

costly interceptions, when he had previously only thrown two the entire season.

“They came in critical points in the game, in the red zone, when you’re going four deep going for the end zone,” said junior safety Cody Prewitt, who came down with one of these interceptions. “Those were huge, huge, plays. It turned into big plays for us as opposed to for them.”

The Rebels have come up short to big upsets several times in Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze’s short tenure at Ole Miss, but with the running of Walton and the gritty performance of a hobbled defense, they were able to do the unthinkable and knock off LSU. “Personally, I’ve been waiting two years to beat LSU,” Prewitt said. “To finally have that happen and to beat a top10 team like that, I was absolutely ecstatic.”
