What's the Fuss?

Jamar Hornsby (left) played at East Mississippi CC this season.

Former Florida Gator Jamar Hornsby made the most of his time at East Mississippi Community College.

Hornsby was dismissed from the Florida football on May 9, the same day he turned himself in to Gainesville Police for using the gas card belonging to Ashley Slonina, the former Lynn Haven resident and Florida student who was killed along with Gators’ walk-on Michael Guilford on Oct. 12, 2007.

Hornsby was named to the NJCAA football All-American second team as a defensive back. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, Hornsby had 111 tackles this season including 64 solo.

East Mississippi won the north division of the Mississippi Association of Community & Junior Colleges Athletic Conference. Hornsby was named the Most Valuable Player of the MACJC defensive backs. Hornsby finished the season strong, recording double-digit tackles in five of the last seven games in 2008.

According to Rivals.com, Hornsby has verbally committed on Dec. 7 to play at Mississippi next season. He was also recruited by Oregon, Arkansas and Kentucky.

A week after rushing for 70 yards, Enrique Davis had only two carries for five yards.

For the season, Davis, a former Mosley All-American, has 162 yards and two touchdowns on 40 carries.

Ole Miss is 4-4 and hosts Auburn on Saturday.

Enrique Davis came home to the state of Florida, in the stadium that his father once played in, last week and helped Ole Miss upset the Florida Gators.

Davis had just 1 yard on two carries for a .5 yards average.

For the season, Davis remains fourth on the Rebels in rushing with 87 yards on 27 carries and two touchdowns.

Ole Miss hosts South Carolina Saturday at 1 p.m.

The former Mosley All-American got back on track this week with seven rushes for 36 yards in Mississippi’s 34-10 win over Samford.

He scored his second touchdown of the year with 11 minutes, 10 seconds left in the third quarter on a four-yard run that put the Rebels ahead 27-7. He averaged 5.1 yards per carry Saturday and had a long run of 14 yards.

For the season, Davis has 18 carries for 61 yards and two scores. He’s averaging 3.4 yards per carry and 20.3 yards per game.

Here’s the docket for this week’s SEC games. My picks for Games of the Week are bolded.

All Times Central

Saturday, Sept. 13
UAB at Tennessee, 11:30 a.m., Raycom - The Volunteers are coming off an upset by UCLA, with a bye week to boot. They have something to prove. Watch out Blazers.

Georgia at South Carolina, 2:30 p.m., CBS - The Bulldogs’ first real test this season. The Gamecocks can’t find a rhythm at quarterback. Georgia is going to try to prove why it should still be No. 1.

Arkansas at Texas, 2:30 p.m., ABC - Postponed until Sept. 27. Thanks, Ike.

Auburn at Mississippi State, 6 p.m., ESPN2 - National title talk is going through Auburn and Mississippi State is already considered a fluke from after last season’s bowl appearance. This could be make or break for the Bulldogs, while the Tigers continue to run a new spread offense to near domination.

Middle Tennessee at Kentucky, 6 p.m. - The Blue Raiders are coming off an upset of Maryland, but the Wildcats’ defense — the only one in the SEC to not allow a TD this season — will quiet all suspects of a BCS crasher.

Samford at Ole Miss, 6 p.m. - The Rebels are mad after losing to Wake Forest Sat-urday in a game they should have won.

Rice at Vanderbilt, 6 p.m. - The Commodores are riding high at 2-0 and an upset of then-No. 24 South Carolina. Let’s just hope they don’t play down to their opponent this week.

Western Kentucky at Alabama, 6:07 p.m., PPV - The Crimson Tide keep on rolling up the polls and will give the Hilltoppers a true welcome to the Bowl Subdivision.

North Texas at LSU, 7 p.m. - The Tigers haven’t played in two weeks and this week’s game nearly got postponed too because of Hurricane Ike. They’re hungry.
