**ALABAMA:** Gigantic win. So many massive plays & momentum shifts. 2 has the most fluid body control I've maybe ever seen. QB was great. The runs were dynamic but when he had to start hitting the freebies he was on point. When the easy access throws are accurate I don't know ho you stop them. OL brought the fight. 52 fun to watch. 74 played well. 77 had a great game. TEs, RBs & WRs blocked well. 1 is not normal, dude gets after it! The plan was beautiful. Traditional run game wasn't there but they weren't stubborn with it. An all timer by 4. Secondary attacked quick throws well. 22, 99, 44 solid inside. 0 was ahead of most everything. DL/LB had the timing on point with pressures. Strip by 4 massive. DC showed a TON of confidence in his secondary with that plan. 34 had some really nice rush reps. 3 active, bust costly late. Great play by 2 FTW.

**ARKANSAS:** The DL was active, caused problems. 40 in backfield. 0 was a problem, opened things for others. 97 got back there some. The LBs were great. 10 was filthy. Perimeter tackling let them down. All in all u thought they did enough. Had intensity. Just a few times out of gaps. Couple cut backs got them later in the game. 90 good push. Struggled to sort out pressures. Lost 1 on 1's. Liked some of the east west run game as a change up. Bad snap. Drops. Free runners at QB. ALL hurt. QB made some poor decisions on the move. 4 solid. 22 couldn't consistently get run game going. Needed more wins vs man. Had chances for more run after catch.

**AUBURN:** Just a gut punch of a loss. Liked the plan on offense. Couple new formations. Mixed up run/blocking schemes. Thought they could have caught the safeties a little more. Quick throws to extend run game. 27 ran well. 77 had one miss otherwise played great. OL was better overall. Protection breakdowns hurt, esp late. TEs a little better, mainly 86 & 84. 5 big time. 8 made a few nice plays. QB was better until the INT. Back breaker. Had it tipped earlier. Ton of green to float it to also. Missed a few of the mesh reads. Legs helped. Couple other miscommunications. Have to find ways to handle situations better. Couple times late just no excuse for the ball to be in the air. Same with playing man. Def was solid for the most part. Beat in a 1 on 1 in critical spot. Front caused problems but lost contain a few times. Didn't think they needed to be as active. 15 good. 97 just super steady. 16 showed up. 6 played well. 35 so valuable. Better when off the ball than I would have thought. 9 good on pressures. 1 was physical. Painful end to watch.

**GEORGIA:** Brutal one to drop. So much respect for how they fought back. Lot of teams mailing that 2nd half in. Front 7 was fine vs reg run game. 52, 29, 97 did some good things. 2 & 3 made a few plays. But the pocket breakdowns hurt. Contain was a problem. Lost a few huge contested deep balls. 11 was hummin. Some costly eye violations. QB made some brutal mistakes early. Just wasn't seeing it. Got off the mat though. Fit it in some tight windows late. Fumble hurt. 55 played well before going out. Hated seeing that. Missed a few pressures. Had some drops. Felt like heavy screen/shot play. 6 was great. 8 had some big plays down the stretch. Just got down too much too early. Hard to change your opinion on this group too much.

**KENTUCKY:** Huge road win. Great plan on offense. Move pocket. Designed QB runs. Attack edges & put them in conflict to slow them down later. 12 made some big must have throws. 6 was huge, play of the day. Run after catch was also big. Had to own TOP & did. Big on 4th down. OL physical. Good help from TEs other than pass pro. 75 played well. 81 had a nice game. Faced movement up front & sorted it out enough to hold on. Methodical. 0 huge up front on def. Held up fairly well when asked to man them up. Gave up a few but made some great 1 on 1 tackles outside & down the field. Disrupted the run all game. Got to the QB. 8 & 13 were in the backfield. DC did a great job mixing & disguising. Limited flags & did not turn it over.

**LSU:** Handled their business. 29 right out the gate!! OL fired off ball early. QB quick decisions. Accurate. The balls down the middle were wow worthy. 1st pick looked like he just lost the ball off his hand, 2nd a tad behind. Protection was great. RBs helped. Play calls on point with reverse, draw, etc. 66 was straight nasty. 1 & 0 can really make them different working quick game. 2 nice game. Added some quick throws as run game extensions. Def held a really good off in check. 40 a damn wild man. 93 good inside 35 played hard. 15 & 0 brought it. 4 really active again. Showed lot of looks. Couple misses on screens & gap scheme but all in all great day.

**MISSISSIPPI STATE:** Tough one. Loved the plan on off. Ate clock. Helped young QB. The QB rotation a little puzzling. I love the backs, the see it well & get north/south. OL solid other than protection breakdowns late. TEs helped. 3 can go. 7 going to be great. 16 can't to play on def. Was being asked to do some different things. 7 super solid. Not playing back before the half was brutal. Play action hurt. 3 played well for most of the game. Just need to get cleats in ground more often & keep pads square up front. There's no quit though. Effort is there.

**OKLAHOMA:** Big road win. Plan on off better suited for QB. Screen game wasn't really going. Took shots when matchups were there. Missed a few. QB tough. Good decisions leaving pocket. Did not give the ball away. 10 better job in blocking part. Pullers did a nice job. Don't see much counter. 10 had a day. The pick 6 obviously (great call on the sim pressure also) but he was flying around, slicing through blockers. 28 per usual. DL movement may have worked against them some. Edge rushers showed in a big way late. 2 was phenomenal. 3 also. Those 2 were great in run support. Made plays when they had to have them.

**OLE MISS:** Couldn't stay on the field to get into a groove. Run game struggles hurt tempo. 3rd down just brutal. OL struggled. Too much penetration too often. 9 exceptional, made big plays. Tough fumble. Costly. Drops & protection breakdowns hurt. QB made huge throws. Couldn't set up enough. 2 was disruptive on def. 15 made some plays. Stunts took them out of some plays. Lost contain. Didn't read the mesh well at times. Lost contested plays on back end. 4 made some plays. 1 good off edge in pass rush. 11 flying around. Had plenty of chances down the stretch. 4th down & RZ def hurt. Will have to bounce back in tough environment & MUST clean up protection vs this next group.

**TEXAS:** 1st conference win. Environment is SEC worthy. They can win with either QB. 16 has guts, tough. Will continue to see it better. Sark playing smart by getting guys ready for the long haul. Didn't have possessions to find rythm in 1st half. Big game for 0, they can pick & choose playmaker out wide. 85 is really important to what they do. C played well, does a ton for them. 23 can get it & 26 looks ready. Have to clean up mistakes, ball on turf & flags. DL not great early. Showed up late. 45 is really good. 99 super tough in there. 0 & 33 can move with physicality. 11 gonna be a star. They have twitch off the edge. Will help secondary. Impressive finish after a sluggish start.

**TEXAS A&M:** Nice conference win. OC continues to find ways to build the off around 10. Use the mobility. Shave things down & let him be an athlete with leaning on the designed runs. Love how he challenged middle of field. Still a bit jumpy at times & accuracy fades but makes up for it with poaymaking ability. WRs helped more, some extra YAC. 71 solid up front. 61 played really well, good on pulls. Not the groups best day but some active guys on other side. Games not passed off well enough. 17 brings extra physicality. He could blossom into a massive weapon. 8 had juice, great patience, let them over pressure & made big cuts. Great run support from secondary. DL dominant. 11 insane. 5 great. 18 nice. They were a consistent problem. The simulated pressures hit. Played the mesh extremely well. More physical at LOS. Tackled well on the perimeter.
