In case you missed it, the SEC had some excitement yesterday and this morning around 1 AM. Swag Kelly put on a show in Tuscaloosa, while Leonard Fournette's family is looking at hotel accommodations in New York City for the Heisman ceremony. So without further delay, here's how each SEC fared yesterday.
Missouri barely edges UCONN
The Missouri Tigers are 3-0, but they have not looked good in the past two weeks. This game was a clinic in how not to score. UCONN's decision to fake a field goal that would have tied the game, and ultimately come up short, would seal the win for Mizzou, 9-6. The Tigers head to Kentucky next Saturday. We'll see how they hold up against the Wildcats.
Texas A&M handles Nevada
In a game that was never really in doubt, the Aggies beat Nevada 44-27. Kyle Allen put up 5 touchdowns in the win, while Tra Carson ran for 137 yards on 22 carries in College Station. The Aggies play Arkansas next week in Jerry's World, so let's see how the Razorbacks did.
Arkansas loses to the Fighting Ryan Goslings
Well Bret, things just got really bad in Fayetteville. Back to back losses against what many considered to be inferior opponents have shown that Arkansas is not a good football team. The Razorbacks and the Red Raiders traded blows all day, until Texas Tech pulled away in the 2nd half. WR Jared Cornelius suffered a gruesome injury during the game, and we wish him a speedy recovery, but it looks like his season is done. Arkansas is going to have a really tough test going forward. Their next 3 games are A&M in Jerry's World, at Tennessee, and at Alabama. Good luck guys.
Mississippi State exorcises the Demons in Starkvegas
In predictable fashion, the Bulldogs thumped Northwestern State 62-13. Dak was 10-11 for 227 yards passing, and Donald Gray had 4 catches for 140 yards and 1 TD. State heads to the Plains next week to face Auburn.
Auburn gets run over by Leonard Fournette
The Gus Bus has officially broken down and is now engulfed in flames. I don't know what's worse, Jeremy Johnson or Auburn's defense? This game looked like Jim Brown was playing against 6th graders. Leonard Fournette's NFL Draft tape is just going to be clips of this game. LSU might not be able to throw the ball, but they clearly don't have to with Fournette running the ball.
Vandy beats Austin Peay
In a game that no one who's not a Vanderbilt or Austin Peay fan watched, Vandy beat Austin Peay 47-7. Both teams are horrible, so congrats Vandy. You get Ole Miss in Oxford next week. Sweet helmets though.
Tennessee obliterates Western Carolina
Butch and the Vols bounced back after a gut-wrenching loss to Oklahoma last week, by slapping around an inferior Western Carolina. The Vols led 41-3 at the half and put it on cruise control for the 2nd half, winning 55-10. Josh Dobbs was 15-21 passing for 144 yards. Tennessee goes to Florida next week, and hopes to end their streak against the Gators.
Florida is 3-0 after beating Kentucky 14-9
The Gators are 3-0. They haven't really looked impressive, but 3-0 is 3-0. The Florida defense looked good last night, especially in the 4th quarter where they stopped potentially game winning drive by Kentucky. Florida looks to go 4-0 against Tennessee in The Swamp next week.
South Carolina is officially South Carolina again
Well Gamecock fans, y'all had a great run, but I think the Spurrier era is officially coming to a close. The Gamecocks defense gave up 52 points to Georgia in Athens Saturday, and Greyson Lambert, who struggled in the first two games, completed 96% of his passes against South Carolina. 96 PERCENT! The good news for the Gamecocks is they get UCF next week who is 0-3 having lost to FIU, Stanford, and the Furman Paladins.
Ole Miss Topples the Tide in T-Town
Oh alliteration, how my 6th grade English teacher loves you. Thanks Mrs. Bowden. SWAG KELLY! Yes, we were entertained. I think the stock of bourbon and blood pressure medication skyrocketed during this game. Last night looked like Salvador Dali and Hunter S. Thompson collaborated on what should happen in a football game. It was utterly surreal. From the fumbled special teams plays, to The Ghost of Bo Wallace throwing up a prayer that bounced off Laquon Treadwell and into the hands of Quincy Adeboyejo, this game pretty much drained all levels of adrenaline Ole Miss and Alabama fans have for the next 5 years.
The Rebels strolled into Tuscaloosa and showed they were better than Alabama, and that's not something that happens often. Phyllis from Mulga is probably on suicide watch right now and I hope someone in The Network is making sure Harvey Updyke doesn't set foot in The Grove. Ole Miss gets Vandy next week, while Bama gets the Fighting Duck Dynasty War Hawks.
