Panthers shutout 56 - 0 saakib zafrani Sports Editor The University of Houston Cougars (4-0) shutout Georgia State (1-3) last Saturday at Robertson Stadium in a 56-0 rout, extending the Panthers losing streak to three. The Panthers gave up 561 yards and three touchdowns through the air, and 171 yards and five scores on the ground. Quarterback Case Keenum, who’s been in the Heisman discussion for the past three years, racked up 415 yards and completed a stellar 85 percent of his passes with zero picks. The Panther offense looked inept from the very first drive as they started the game with a three and out.

Keenum was perfect on the Cougars opening drive with his fourth pass culminating in a touchdown on the six play 52-yard drive. Georgia State’s following drive resulted in another punt, but the Panther defense returned the favor on Houston’s ensuing possession, as they handed the Cougars a three and out. It looked as though Bill Curry’s defense might be able to slow down Houston’s offense, but the Panthers were unable to force the Houston offense into another three and out for the rest of the affair.

College merger: USG Chancellor looking to control costs with campus consolidation ANGEL WHITE Campus Life Editor As one of his first initiatives as chancellor of the University System of Georgia, Hank Huckaby announced plans last week to look into the possibility of consolidating some of the USG’s institutions in order to control costs. “I believe it is time for the system to study if campus consolidations are justified and will enhance our ability to serve the people of Georgia at less cost,” said Huckaby. “We, in the university

system, should be the first to ask questions of ourselves to make sure we are serving the state in the best way.” Huckaby said that while beginning to review this possiblity was a large step, no plans have been concretely made for any specific institution. “Our task at this point is to develop the evaluative criteria and processes to be used indentifying any potential consolidations,” said Huckaby.
