MSU’s upset over #6 LSU highlights busy CFB Saturday in Mississippi
Photo courtesy Mississippi State Athletics SEC football is back and Mike Leach’s Mississippi State Bulldogs have shaken up the college football landscape on day one with an upset over #6 LSU. Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels showed flashes but fell to #5 Flordia, and USM dropped to 0-3. Below, you’ll find a breakdown of all of the action from a busy Saturday across the state. Mississippi State: 44 #6 LSU:34 Story by SportsTalk Mississippi’s Brian Hadad From January on, the mantra at Mississippi State was that this Bulldog team would look totally different than any that had come before it. One game into the Mike Leach Era, that all holds up, as KJ Costello set an SEC passing record with 623 yards in the air, and State overcame four turnovers to grab a 44-34 win over the defending national champions LSU in Tiger Stadium. DOWN GO THE CHAMPS! #HAILSTATE pic.twitter.com/2d64B8qQ7j — Mississippi State Football (@HailStateFB) September 26, 2020 Costello shattered the school’s single-game passing record of 508 yards early in the fourth quarter, then despite an interception and fumble that allowed LSU to make up a ten-point deficit, continued firing away. He finished the day 36-60, an SEC record 623 yards, and five touchdowns to four different receivers. In all, ten different Bulldogs caught a pass, including three over 100 yards and two over 150 for the first time in school history. State, a historically running team, finished the day with only 9 yards rushing on 16 carries. It truly was an Air Raid as the Bulldogs sliced the Tiger secondary, missing their All-American corner Derek Stingley Jr., to ribbons. K.J. Costello is the first SEC QB ever to pass for 600 yards in a game! IT’S HIS FIRST SEC GAME#HailState pic.twitter.com/1cB9Ysk05r — Mississippi State Football (@HailStateFB) September 26, 2020 As for Kylin Hill, it was much as predicted, as the senior tailback only carried the ball five times for 27 yards, but was explosive through the air, hauling in a game-high 8 passes for 158 yards and a score, a 75 yarder that saw Hill burst down the sidelines and evade two Tigers en route to the end zone. @H_Kylin #HailState | #AirRaid pic.twitter.com/1kJPWtlZLg — Mississippi State Football (@HailStateFB) September 26, 2020 Defensively, the Bulldogs more than held there own against LSU, racking up seven sacks and picking off two Myles Brennan passes, the second by freshman Emmanuel Forbes in the end zone as time expired. Zach Arnett’s scheme seemed to keep the Tigers off balance, as LSU was held to a mere 2.1 yards per carry. State had three tacklers in double figures, and held the Tigers to 28 points, as one touchdown came on an interception deep in Bulldog territory. “Creme Brule” pic.twitter.com/ZJFpaBa8pz — Mississippi State Football (@HailStateFB) September 26, 2020 State moves to 1-0 on the season with its first win in Tiger Stadium since 2014, only the second time the Bulldogs have won in Baton Rouge since 1992. State will take on Arkansas in Week 2 in Starkville, the home opener for Mike Leach. #5 Florida: 51 Ole Miss: 35 Story by Steven Gagliano The offense didn’t disappoint in Lane Kiffin’s highly anticipated debut on the Ole Miss sideline, however, it was a different story on the defensive side of the ball as the #5 Florida Gators left Oxford with a 51-35 victory over the Rebels. Gator QB Kyle Trask entered the day as the SEC’s leading returning passer and picked up right where he left off as he led an offense that racked up 642 total yards—a school-record against an SEC opponent. The senior QB tossed six touchdowns while going 30 for 42 with 416 yards. Four of those TD passes went to All-SEC TE Kyle Pitts, a 6’6 junior, that the Rebel secondary had no answer for. While the Rebels kept the game within reach for a large portion of the first half, it was Pitts’ TD to close out the half and a 71-yard TD reception to open the 3rd quarter that broke the Rebels’ back at 35-14. Rebel QB Matt Corral validated Kiffin’s decision to anoint him the starter over John Rhys Plummle, who did see a decent amount of action in the backfield, as the sophomore generated big plays with his arm and his legs throughout the game. Two first-half touchdowns to Dontario Drummond had the Rebels rolling and while attempting to climb back into the game late, his connection with Elijah Moore was undeniable. Moore finished with 10 catches and 227 yards. Outside of an interception that was tipped at the line of scrimmage, Corral’s final stat line was an impressive 22/31 for 395 and 3 TDs. Sophomore RB Jerrion Ealy led the way on the ground for the Rebels with 79 yards on 16 carries with one TD. Defensively, the Rebels never found their footing, only getting to Trask once. The lack of a pass rush gave Trask time to pick apart an undermanned secondary. Pressure from DE Ryder Anderson did force an errant throw from Emory Jones leading to an A.J. Finley interception. With a chance to get the ball back to the Rebel offense with the score at 44-29, LB MoMo Sanogo was hit with a questionable roughing the passer call, which extended the Gator drive that would end with another Pitts TD. If you had Florida -14, this game went down to the wire as the Rebels responded with a TD of their own and came up short on a 2-point conversion attempt. After a recovered onside kick, the Rebels were still in prime position for a backdoor cover, but a Corral pass fell at the feet of Jonathan Mingo as time expired. Next week, the Rebels face their first SEC East foe as they travel to Kentucky. The Wildcats fell to Auburn in their season opener.

AG Fitch partners with Secretary Watson and CFTC to protect seniors from $185 Million precious metals scheme
The Mississippi Attorney General and Secretary of State joined the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and 29 other states in filing a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas alleging Metals.com and Barrick Capital Inc. defendants solicited $185 million from 1,600 seniors and other vulnerable investors nationwide, including over $350,000 in Mississippi, by touting precious metals at grossly inflated prices that were not disclosed. “The defendants were preying on seniors and other vulnerable persons, grossly misrepresenting the value and likelihood of financial profit of the investments they were selling and scamming consumers out of their retirement savings,” said Attorney General Lynn Fitch. “I appreciate the work of the Secretary of State in this matter, and we will continue to work together to protect the rights of Mississippi consumers.” The complaint names Los Angeles, California-based companies TMTE Inc., also known as Metals.com, Chase Metals Inc., Chase Metals LLC, Barrick Capital Inc., along with Simon Batashvili, Lucas Asher, and Tower Equity LLC. The defendants are accused of using cold calling, television, radio, and social media advertisements designed to “instill fear in elderly and retirement-aged investors and build trust with investors based on representations of political or religious affinity.” Investors were advised to liquidate their holdings at registered investment firms to fund investments in precious metals bullion through self-directed individual retirement accounts and bullion coins, the complaint said. “This historic joint effort between the CFTC and 30 state regulators is an important step toward rooting out fraud across the country,” said CFTC Chairman Heath P. Tarbert. “This case highlights just how geographically broad commodities fraud can be in our rapidly-evolving financial markets and how important it is for regulators at all levels of government to work together to pursue bad actors and protect market participants.” The defendants also are accused of failing to disclose, among other things, the markup Metals.com and Barrick charged investors for their precious metals bullion products and that investors could lose the majority of their funds immediately upon completing a transaction. The defendants charged investors prices for gold or silver bullion averaging from 100% to more than 300% the melt value or spot price of that gold or silver bullion. In many cases, the market value of the precious metals sold to investors was substantially lower than the value of the securities and other retirement savings investors had liquidated to fund their purchase. Secretary of State Michael Watson “They capitalized on investors’ fear of market instability and took advantage of hard-working Mississippians,” said Secretary of State Michael Watson. “Our investors suffered consequential losses from retirement savings, and it’s only right that we take action. We’re working closely with the Attorney General’s Office to ensure the victims of this case receive justice, and we encourage all investors to thoroughly scrutinize and research any investment opportunity or offer.” The complaint requests the Court order the defendants to cease sales activity, return money to investors, and stop defrauding investors and violating federal and state laws going forward. The complaint also requests that a receiver be appointed to take over the companies to marshal funds for the benefit of investors across the country. Metals.com and its agents have attempted to evade previous regulatory actions from 12 states by, among other tactics, changing its business name. Today’s coordinated state and federal action to put a stop to the company’s efforts to continue to prey on elderly investors is the result of a multi-state collaboration by members of the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA), of which the Secretary of State’s Office is a member, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Office of Cooperative Enforcement The post AG Fitch partners with Secretary Watson and CFTC to protect seniors from $185 Million precious metals scheme appeared first on News Mississippi.
Four Mississippi schools receive national honors
U.S. Department of Education today recognized four Mississippi schools as National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2020. The recognition is based on a school’s overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups. The following Mississippi schools were recognized: City School Name District Olive Branch Center Hill High School DeSoto County School District D’Iberville D’Iberville Elementary School Harrison County School District Madison Madison Station Elementary School Madison County School District Biloxi Popps Ferry Elementary School Biloxi Public School District “This prestigious honor is the result of hard work by teachers, administrators, students and parents. I congratulate them on their awards and for providing an outstanding education to all students,” said Dr. Carey Wright, state superintendent of education. The coveted National Blue Ribbon School award affirms the hard work of educators, families, and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging and engaging content. Now in its 38th year, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has bestowed almost 10,000 awards to more than 9,000 schools, with some schools winning multiple awards. Schools are eligible for nomination after five years. The department recognizes schools in one of two performance categories, based on all student scores, student subgroup scores and graduation rates: Exemplary High Performing Schools are among their state’s highest performing schools as measured by state assessments or nationally normed tests. Exemplary Achievement Gap Closing Schools are among their state’s highest performing schools in closing achievement gaps between a school’s student groups and all students. Both Center Hill High School and Madison Station Elementary were recognized as “exemplary high performing schools,” and D’Iberville and Popps Ferry Elementary schools were recognized as “exemplary achievement gap closing schools.” “Congratulations to this year’s National Blue Ribbon School awardees,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. “It’s a privilege to recognize the extraordinary work you do to meet students’ needs and prepare them for successful careers and meaningful lives.” Up to 420 schools may be nominated each year. The department invites National Blue Ribbon School nominations from the top education official in all states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Department of Defense Education Activity, and the Bureau of Indian Education. Private schools are nominated by The Council for American Private Education (CAPE). The 2020 National Blue Ribbon Schools Awards Ceremony will be held virtually Nov. 12 and 13. Recipients will receive plaques and flags via mail. Photographs and brief descriptions of all 2020 National Blue Ribbon Schools are available at https://www.ed.gov/nationalblueribbonschools.

$14 billion dollars available for ag producers impacted by COVID-19
Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce Andy Gipson applauds the Trump administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture on the second round of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP 2). The assistance will provide an additional $14 billion dollars for agricultural producers who continue to face market disruptions and associated costs because of COVID-19. “I encourage all of our farmers across the state to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on their operations and consider whether this program could help in their recovery,” said Commissioner Gipson. “Additional commodities have been added to CFAP 2, and I thank the Trump administration for making these commodities eligible for the program.” CFAP 2 payments will be made for three categories of commodities – Price Trigger Commodities, Flat-rate Crops and Sales Commodities. Price trigger commodities are major commodities that meet a minimum five-percent price decline over a specified period of time. Flat-rate crops either do not meet the five-percent price decline trigger or do not have data available to calculate a price change. Sales commodities eligible for CFAP 2 include specialty crops, aquaculture, nursery crops and floriculture, and other commodities not included in the price trigger and flat-rate payment categories. Click here for a full list of eligible commodities outlined by payment category. Under CFAP 2, there is a payment limitation of $250,000 per person or entity for all commodities combined. Applicants who are corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships may qualify for additional payment limits when members actively provide personal labor or personal management for the farming operation. In addition, this special payment limitation provision has been expanded to include trusts and estates for both CFAP 1 and 2. Producers will also have to certify that they meet the Adjusted Gross Income limitation of $900,000 unless at least 75 percent or more of their income is derived from farming, ranching, or forestry-related activities. Producers must also be in compliance with Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation provisions. You can sign up now through December 11, 2020.

Mississippi Aquarium’s speciality license plate to benefit conservation efforts
The Mississippi Aquarium is hoping that you’ll “sail around town in style” while supporting conservation efforts by purchasing a new specialty license plate. According to the aquarium, proceeds from the plate will support “research and conservation efforts for dolphins and sea turtles along Coastal Mississippi and beyond.” The plate, designed by Jason Heitzmann, was created to promote conservation efforts for native endangered species. “The license plate features an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin and Kemp’s ridley sea turtle with the Aquarium’s iconic sails in the background. The sails represent the Aquarium’s three pillars: education, conservation and community.” The plate would cost $33.00. This does not include the Ad Valorem taxes collected by the county tax collector. For production to begin, the Mississippi Aquarium must secure 300 pre-orders for the plate.

Kiffin, Leach eras begin & USM looks to avoid 0-3 start – CFB Preview
We’re one day away from game day in the SEC — a day that once felt as if it may never come in 2020. With the arrival of Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss and Mike Leach at Mississippi State, Saturday features one of the most highly-anticipated slate of games across the state in recent memory. Additionally, Southern Miss is looking to avoid an 0-3 start for the first time since 2013. Below, check out a brief preview for each game. Ole Miss vs. Florida (UF -14) For the first time since 2007, the Florida Gators roll into Oxford where they’ll clash with the Rebels, decked out in powder blue jerseys, in Lane Kiffin’s long-awaited debut. Coming into the 2020 season, the Gators are a trendy pick to dethrone UGA atop the SEC East while the Rebels are more of an unknown with new leadership across the board following a 4-8 2019 season that led to the firing of Matt Luke and one-year coordinators Rich Rodriguez and Mike MacIntyre. New OC Jeff Lebby will call the plays for the Rebel offense and D.J. Durkin and Chris Partridge will split the duties on defense. Between the hashmarks, the Gators come into the matchup led by the SEC’s leading returning passer Kyle Trask, but things are less certain on the Ole Miss offense as Kiffin has continued to play his cards close to the vest when it comes to his starting quarterback. Sophomores Matt Corral and John Rhys Plumlee have battled for the job throughout camp after both were part of a directionless two-QB system a season ago. “I mean one of them is going to start and there’s a good chance both of them will play,” Kiffin said Monday. Corral proved to be the better passer a season ago while Plumlee established himself as an electric threat in the running game leading the team in rushing with 1,023 yards and 12 touchdowns. Whoever gets the nod will have a talented supporting cast with RB Jerrion Ealy and WR Elijah Moore back. The question will become, who else can step up for the Rebel offense? Sophomore wideout Johnathon Mingo and freshman RB Henry Parish are thought to be breakout candidates coming into the 2020 campaign. The offense will try to move the ball against a Florida defensive unit that gave up just 15.5 points a season ago and returns key pieces such as LB Zachary Carter, who led the Gators in tackles for loss with seven, and Marco Wilson & Kaiir Elam will be patrolling the secondary. Defensively for Ole Miss, depth up front will be a concern, but they’ll be backed up by a solid linebacking core. Sam Williams was reinstated following a brief suspension and is back after leading the Rebels in sacks in 2019 and MoMo Sanogo returns after suffering a season-ending injury last September. Beefing up that line, however, is the addition of DE Tavius Robinson, a transfer from Canada who was granted immediate eligibility. Dan Mullen’s Gators lost several key pieces on offense including former Rebel WR Van Jefferson and RB LaMichael Perine, but All-SEC TE Kyle Pitts returns to provide Trask with at least one valuable weapon. Kickoff from a 25% filled Vaught-Hemingway Stadium is set for 11 a.m. Remember that you must wear a mask when moving throughout the stadium. It will most certainly be a different atmosphere outside of the stadium, as well, due to the fact that tailgating on campus is currently prohibited. Mississippi State @ #6 LSU (LSU -16.5) The pirate and his air-raid attack have their sights set on the defending champion LSU Tigers as Mike Leach and the Bulldogs travel to Baton Rouge. In one of the most intriguing matchups anywhere in the country, neither team is a known quotient as the Bulldogs overhaul their program’s identity and the Tigers were forced to reload after a historic exodus following their undefeated 2019 campaign, not to mention several opt-outs such as WR Jamar Chase. This game will be more about who isn’t there for LSU as Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow and his 50 TD passes along with 13 other starters and both their passing game coordinator and defensive coordinators have moved on. Mississippi native Myles Brennan takes over at QB with shoes the size of Mike the Tiger’s paws to fill. The new faces all over the field present a unique challenge for Leach and Mississippi State. “I hope those new faces are worse than the guys that left, okay, but you know intellectually I know some of them will be better but it’s the same thing, so as far as just saying this position, that position, the other position, that’s tougher with them now than it is sometimes because they do have a number of new faces and so, in the end, we can only control what we can control and that’s just us being the best team that we can be because you’re kind of real precise evaluations on their scheme and their personnel are pretty tough this time out of the blocks,” Leach said earlier this week. With a name like ‘air-raid,’ it’s no secret what the Bulldogs will try to do against the Tiger defense that returns two of the SEC’s best defensive backs in Derek Stingley, Jr. and Jacoby Stevens. Leading the way for the Mississippi State offense will be Stanford transfer K.J. Costello. The former All-Pac 12 quarterback tossed 29 TDs in 2018 while completing 65% of his passes before injuries marred his 2019 season in Palo Alto. The Bulldogs’ biggest threat will line up next to Costello as RB Kylin Hill is back for his senior season after rushing for 1,350 yards a season ago. Hill’s participation in the Bulldog passing attack will likely grow exponentially after totaling just 18 receptions in Joe Moorhead’s offense last year. On the outside, WRs Osirus Mitchell and Javonta Payton return to lead the way, and in somewhat of a surprise move, sophomore Garrett Shrader recently swapped his QB wristband for a pair
Grammy Museum releases Garth Brooks Exhibit
Garth Brooks may not be a native Mississippian, however, the country music legend has gone out of his way in the past to help out the Grammy Museum Mississippi. Last September, Brooks came down to Cleveland and taught an educational program for both children and adults at the museum, so now, the museum has temporarily released an exhibit honoring the two-time Grammy Award winner. “Today is the year anniversary of when Garth visited the museum last September and did an education program for the kids and did a program that night for members,” Grammy Museum Mississippi Executive Director Emily Havens explained on a recent episode of Good Things. “He donated his guitar that day back to the museum to raise money for education, and we were so fortunate to have someone buy that guitar at auction and then donate it back to our museum for permanent collection.” The Grammy Museum Mississippi in Cleveland The exhibit will feature that same guitar, plus the jersey Brooks sported when he joined the Pittsburg Pirates during the 2019 Spring Training in order to promote his “Teammates for Kids” foundation. The Garth Brooks Exhibit will be on display until the spring of 2021. To find out more about what’s going on at the Grammy Museum Mississippi, you can watch the entire interview with Havens below.

COVID-19 survivors share their stories – more cases reported
Today, the Mississippi State Department of Health is reporting an additional 722 cases of COVID-19 in Mississippi, bringing the number of cases reported since March to 96,032. 20 additional deaths were reported (7 of which occurred between August 14 and September 16, identified from death certificates), bring the total number of Mississippians who have lost their lives to the virus to 2, 894. Included in these totals are 31 new cases identified among residents in long-term care facilities and 2 deaths. There are now 126 active outbreaks of COVID-19 in long-term care facilities. Hospitalizations remain just over 500. While it’s understandable to be worried about the coronavirus, there are stories of recovery. This is 35-year-old Carrie Martin of Brandon, and she is a COVID-19 survivor. Meet 63-year-old John Hardy of Jackson. 42-year-old Michael Magialardi of Madison is also a COVID-19 survivor. Remember, face coverings are required by order of the Governor until September 30th, for all Mississippians in schools, businesses, indoor public spaces, and outdoor public spaces where consistent social distancing is not possible. Home isolation is mandatory if you have tested positive for COVID-19 by order of the State Health Officer. (If you are awaiting results of routine testing not related to exposure, you may return to work and follow the safety guidelines of your employer.) If you have been in contact with someone who has COVID-19, quarantine is also important to protect others.

Attorney General Fitch announces $60 million multi-state settlement with C.R. Bard
Attorney General Fitch announced a settlement by 48 states and the District of Columbia with C.R. Bard, Inc. and its parent company Becton, Dickinson and Company requiring payment of $60 million for the deceptive marketing of transvaginal surgical mesh devices. “C.R. Bard failed to disclose serious and life-altering risks of permanently implanted surgical mesh devices, leaving thousands of women to suffer,” said Attorney General Fitch. “This settlement holds Bard accountable for its deceptive business practices and ensures they will not violate Mississippi’s consumer protection laws again.” C.R. Bard and its parent company, Becton, Dickinson and Company, have agreed to pay $60 million to the 48 participating states and the District of Columbia. Mississippi will receive a total amount of $837,611.00. Surgical mesh is a synthetic knitted or woven fabric that is permanently implanted in the pelvic floor through the vagina to treat pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. These are common conditions faced by women due to a weakening in their pelvic floor muscles caused by childbirth, age, and other factors. Thousands of women implanted with surgical mesh have made claims that they suffered serious complications resulting from these devices, including erosion of mesh through organs, pain during sexual intercourse, and voiding dysfunction. Although use of surgical mesh involves the risk of these serious complications and is not proven to be more effective than traditional tissue repair, millions of women were implanted with these devices. The attorneys general allege that C.R. Bard misrepresented or failed to adequately disclose serious and life-altering risks of surgical mesh devices, such as chronic pain, scarring and shrinking of bodily tissue, painful sexual relations, and recurring infections, among other complications. Although C.R. Bard stopped selling transvaginal mesh, the settlement provides injunctive relief, requiring both C.R. Bard and Becton, Dickinson and Company to adhere to certain injunctive terms if they reenter the transvaginal mesh market. Under the terms of the settlement, the companies are required to: Provide patients with understandable descriptions of complications in marketing materials. Include a list of certain complications in all marketing materials that address complications. Disclose complications related to the use of mesh in any training provided that includes risk information. Disclose sponsorship in clinical studies, clinical data, or preclinical data for publication. Refrain from citing to any clinical study, clinical data, or preclinical data regarding mesh, for which the company has not complied with the disclosure requirements. Require consultants to agree to disclose in any public presentation or submission for publication Bard’s sponsorship of the contracted for activity. Register all Bard-sponsored clinical studies regarding mesh with ClinicalTrials.gov. Train independent contractors, agents, and employees who sell, market, or promote mesh, regarding their obligations to report all patient complaints and adverse events to the company. Ensure that its practices regarding the reporting of patient complaints are consistent with FDA requirements. Joining Mississippi in this multistate settlement are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
