‘Discipline!’ Ole Miss LB TJ Dottery Reveals Key in Stopping Arkansas QB Taylen Green
The No. 19 Ole Miss Rebels need a win on Saturday to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive, but standing in the way of that goal are the Arkansas Razorbacks and a talented quarterback in Taylen Green.
So far this season, Green has thrown for over 2,000 yards (11 TDs, 7 INTs) and rushed for an extra 395 (5 TDs). In short, he can make electric things happen on the football field when he has the ball in his hands, and stopping his dual-threat capabilities is priority No. 1 for the Rebels on Saturday.
Linebacker TJ Dottery is one of the key aspects of coordinator Pete Golding’s defense at Ole Miss, and he discussed a key in stopping Green during a press conference on Tuesday.
“Definitely discipline,” Dottery said. “Just everybody doing their job and staying on their assignment rather than getting antsy and wanting to go get a sack. Just be disciplined and do our job.”
Discipline involves more than simply sticking to an assignment. It also goes all the way to tackling form, and being able to square up and secure Green is easier said than done when he’s on the move.
That’s where linebackers like Dottery come in. The Ole Miss front seven as a whole will be tasked with containing Green’s elusiveness, and they know how dangerous he can be in the open field.
“He can run really well,” Dottery said. “Once he gets out of the pocket, he’s really good at making defenders miss and getting extra yards.”
In last week’s win over Mississippi State, Green threw for over 300 yards and five touchdowns while also rushing for 79 yards and a score. One of his runs alone accounted for 32 yards on the ground, so form tackling will be a major key for Ole Miss this weekend.
Kickoff between Ole Miss and Arkansas in Fayetteville on Saturday is scheduled for 11 a.m. CT, and the game will be televised on ESPN.
LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — A bee swarm attack in Texas sent three people, including a firefighter, to the hospital this week, while Arkansas medical experts said most bee stings are not dangerous but can become life-threatening in certain cases.
Authorities in San Antonio said the three victims were hospitalized after being swarmed and stung by aggressive bees. Officials have not released details on what triggered the attack or the species involved.
Doctors in Arkansas said the biggest risk from a bee sting is not the sting itself, but a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
“The concern when you have a bee sting is if you develop a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis,” said Dr. Garrett Lewis, chief medical officer at St. Vincent Infirmary.
Lewis said warning signs include throat swelling, difficulty breathing and feeling faint, which require immediate medical attention.
“If you’re experiencing any throat swelling or severe shortness of breath, you need to seek medical care immediately,” Lewis said.
He added that people who are stung multiple times may also be at risk even without a known allergy, because each sting introduces additional venom into the body.
In the event of a swarm, Lewis said the priority should be escaping the area as quickly as possible and removing any stingers once safe.
“Seek water, seek indoor,” Lewis said. “Once you’re away from the swarm, you want to make sure that you are removing any stingers that might still be in your skin.”
Lewis also said symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and widespread hives can indicate a serious reaction.
While the Texas incident resulted in hospitalizations, a recent swarm outside a Little Rock business ended without injuries after bees briefly gathered on a tree limb before being safely removed by a beekeeper.
Lewis said the best prevention is awareness of surroundings and understanding when medical care is needed after a sting.

We are proud to partner with the Corning Police Department in addressing these violations. We seized a substantial quantity of illegal products, including flower, vapes, edibles, and other items, during the operation. We appreciate the cooperation of local law enforcement and information received from the community that led to yesterday’s operation and stopped this blatant disregard of the law.”
