Southern Miss previe SPORTS WRAP ons FOOTBALL Cam Newton allegations "garbage," says coach Chizik AUBURN, Ala. - The Auburn Tigers found themselves defending quarterback Cam Newton for the second time in five days, this time adamantly sticking up for the Heisman hopeful in the wake of allegations of academic cheating when he was at Florida . . More accusations surfaced Tuesday night when ESPN reported on its website that Newton and his father each had a phone conversation with a Mississippi State recruiter that acknowledged a pay-for-play arrangement for the prized recruit Hours before ESPN posted the story, Tigers coach Gene Chizik dismissed the academic cheating report as"pure garbage"in an emotional 4-minute, 25- second rant. "I'm standing up here on a very important week trying to defend something that's garbage," Chizik said. The second-ranked Tigers face rival Georgia on Saturday, and that's where Newton insists his focus lies. Foxsports.com reported Monday that Newton was caught cheating three times and was to appear for a hearing in front of Florida's Student Committee facing possible expulsion during the spring semester of 2009. According to the ESPN report, one of the recruiters said Cecil Newton told him before Cam Newton committed to BRIAN LAWOERMILK /ASSOCIATED PRESS Auburn that it would take "more than a Southern Miss quarterback Austin Davis, junior, threw for 102 yards and a touchdown in the Golden Eagles' 46-30 win over Tulane last Saturday. scholarship"for his son to attend Mississippi State.
