SEC must punish all guilty parties in football
The column demands consistent punishment for dangerous plays across the SEC. It cites Rodney Paulkis and Nick Fairley, arguing Fairley’s helmet use warrants at least a half-game suspension and criticizing perceived favoritism toward Auburn. It also praises Marcus Lattimore and discusses Tyler Bray and Florida’s offense.

Thurmond aims for perfect season as region foes threaten
Strom Thurmond stands 10 points shy of a perfect 12-0 amid late-season tests. After blowing a large second-half lead to Silver Bluff 24-21 on Sept. 24, the Rebels lost 18-13 at Columbia six days later. A single touchdown in those games would have sealed perfection. Williston-Elko has allowed seven or fewer points in eight of 12 games, facing a Christ Church squad averaging 50.3 points. North Augusta seeks peak form as its offense, already potent, moves toward late-season momentum after two strong showings against Orangeburg Wilkison and Richland Northeast totaling 838 yards and 95 points.
