SCOOBA Copiah-Lincoln scored early and late and it was enough to blank a punchless offense from East Mississippi Community College here on Thursday night at Sullivan-Windham Field. The Co-Lin Wolves moved to 2-0 on the season following the 22-0 throttling of East. Coach Tom Goode's Lions fall to 1-1. While the East offense failed to dent the scoreboard, Goode placed the blame on both sides of the ball. The Lions return to action next Saturday.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. The Southeastern Conference postponed all of its football games this weekend, one day after saying they would be played and raised $1 million for victims of the terrorist attacks. SEC officials announced the reversal Thursday after telephone conference calls with its presidents and athletic directors. All 12 SEC teams initially were slated to play, including No. 8 Tennessee at No. 2 Florida. SEC officials left open the possibility that the games may be rescheduled during open weeks or at the end of the season, with the league championship Dec. 1 possibly being moved back.

NEW ORLEANS It was definitely grunt and groan football. Blue collar stuff. There was no ice, no frigid wind, no numbing weather, but the atmosphere was chilly and the vistas bleak. The Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints could just as well have put up a sign Sunday labeling the Superdome a "hard hat" area. New Orleans sweated for its 28-6 victory over the Bears.
The Saints shook off a 6-0 half-time deficit as quarterback Bobby Hebert hit 52-yard and 72-yard touchdown passes in the second half and the defense added two touchdowns.
