**ALABAMA:** Ugly loss. Couldn't get off the field. Penalties continue to be an issue for the offense. Did not seem to ever commit to the run game. Ran the ball on consecutive downs 4 times. Thought they could've gotten a push. 2 spectacular. 4 played well. 5 had a nice game. TEs did some good things. The most explosive players were not given opportunities to make explosive plays. Slight concern they are relying on those. 52 played well. Right side struggled. 56 came in and gave good reps. 26 played hard. WR depth a concern. The edges of the defense seemed to be on their heels often. LBs & DL looked gassed late. Couldn't get off the field. 3rd downs just brutal. Did not layer the pass rush. Struggled with scramble drill. 11 did some good things. 34 showed up. 0 gave good effort. DL had guys displaced too often. Couple guys showed their ass late & that's just not what that program is. Has to be handled immediately & I believe it will.

**ARKANSAS:** Huge win. Loved what they had dialed on off. Wham, belly, toss lead, toss crack, etc. They embraced the hog for sure. RBs good out of back field. QB kept plays alive. Made a few really nice throws. Couple hole shots that hit. Good touch. Used middle of field well. 22 ran hard, penetration kept him for getting big ones. Like how they moved 6 around. 47 blasted at FB. 9 adds value. 30 got going a little! 2 is the obvious go to guy. Took an attacking front & made them pay for it. Really cool role for 0 at FB/RB. 3 out in a really tough spot but made some plays. Hell of a job by the DC playing a new front. You HAVE to have DL that can win & LBs that can RUN. They found that. 30 found a new role & made the most of it. 14 & 10 covered lots of grass. 3 & 18 nice on back end. Mis fit a few runs but did a great job disrupting with less up front. Had the QB confused. 4, 0, 93 all did some pushing around. 49 was great. Tempo never was a big problem. You could see the awareness on early downs. Excellent job implementing that in just a few days.

**AUBURN:** Steuggled to get 1 to the ground. Was a killer in space. Pass rush inconsistent. 15 inside a nice change up, played a great game. Impactful. 99 flashed inside. 97 solid. 6 was physical. 9 played hard. 35 there when had to have it. Too many players whiffed on the back end. There's a guy or two that just don't seem to want contact. Not as good in man. Offense showed signs. 27 ran hard. All 3 backs were solid. 77 finished. Left side of the OL had some rough downs. 86 helpful in run game again. QB made some good throws. WRs need to help more. Communication seems to be an issue. 5 is big time. Misdirection helped. Gap scheme runs were pretty good. Something off on the 4th down situation. Effort good for most of the game.

**FLORIDA:** Really nice win off bye week. QBs solid. 15 great on the move. Accurate. In control of it. 13 has something different. 2 had a big throw down the middle. 1 looked good, out of backfield also. 10 looks dynamic. 17 made tough catches. Middle of OL looked better. I like how they challenged down the field a tad more. Still lacked some explosive capabilities. Screen game not super clean. Def got after them up front. 99 bullied & showed some quicks. 88 good push, he teed off on OL a few times. 34 off the edge was good. Pass rush there all night. Felt like backers were more responsible with option plays & cut backs. 6 was solid in & outside, he's a fighter. Felt like game they can build on.

**GEORGIA:** Rivalry win. Offense moved ball around well. Screen game set up run later. 1 was great. Made a LOT of defenders miss. He brought it. Tackles not great in pass pro. Good effort on run game/screens/downfield. 7 good in run game. 8 had a nice game. Plan wasn't too risky but has variety. Good change of direction at certain points. QB put the ball in the right spots. Super efficient. 3 solid when came in later. Still need to cut down flags. Edges of defense aggressive but allowed a few cut back runs. 5 & 3 covered a lot of ground. 10 & 11 impactful. Gap scheme runs & misdirection an issue at times. 24 better. 32 attacked. 93aybe as good as I e seen him. The stem/movement seemed to help. Not flashy but got it done.

**MISSOURI:** Rough one. Couldn't get the stretch going on offense to build off. QB couldn't get settled. Left pocket early. Missed a few plays down the field. Had ball in space some & could not make them miss enough. Couldn't convert. 254 yards won't cut it. OL struggled. Way too many free runners at the QB. Could not sort out the pressures. WRs had some loafs. 3 made a few plays. Only one explosive. DL not consistent. 9 & 5 were active. Thought the plan was a bit too aggressive. Movement got them a few things but cost them a lot more. Replacement defenders didn't get to their spots. Moved out of position. Didn't hold point well enough. Over ran ball carriers. Got out of hand early & couldn't get on track.

**OLE MISS:** Really nice road win. Mixed up the looks on def. Twists inside & out caused problems. 2 disrupted. 4 was all over. Ran himself out of some plays but full effort. Good hands in pass rush. Good job as the spy. 6 was great off the ball tracking sideline to sideline. DL did nice job redirecting vs mobile QB. lost contain a few times. 89 lined up all over & was a problem. 11 good on blitzes. 23 was super sound & played physical. 9 active on back end. Good job causing confusion up front without overcommitting numbers to LOS. QB tough. Still taking too many hits. Solid in intermediate game. Thought center was better. Good with legs. 21 got a few good cut backs to go. Tackles struggled in pass pro at times. 8 really added something in short yardage. 89 helps there. Like how zero gets to the LOS quick. Pullers need to redirect a little better in run game. You knew 3 was going to get his.

**SOUTH CAROLINA:** QB kept them in it. Nice job dialing up the east-west movement to steal eyes. Needed a few more shots off of it. He worked mesh well. He's got the tools. Needs a little more help. OL missed some games. 6 is a major key to their success. Found some space vs zone. Too many individual break downs in pass pro. 7 & 3 can be dangerous. Missed a few blocks though. Close on so many plays; slip, drop, step out, over throw...5 ran well. Couldn't get him going between tackles. 90, 91 & 95 really good inside. Edges got to the pocket. LBs active & physical. Contain got them a few times. Fell on a slant. Q runs hurt some.

**TENNESSEE**: Rough one to drop on the road. Had chances. Defensive front did some nice things. Did run themselves out of a few plays. Struggled with mesh/crossers & backs out of the backfield. Penetration used against them some. Had chances to get QB to the ground more. 27 good off edge. 7 played fast. 20 & 21 had an impact inside. Gap scheme gave them some probs. 11 looked good. QB extended some plays on them. Good in RZ. Not too aggressive but did give some space on stunts at times. Fine with strategy late. Offense couldn't get in rythm. Don't win on early downs so couldn't use pace. Confusion in pass pro & lack of push cost them. 6 ran well, could have had a few more. QB did not really settle in. Couldn't get over the top. 87 had a few good blocks. All in all I thought the effort was not bad up front. LT a bit sluggish. Just missed some things. Needed to create more in quick/tun game. They will adjust.

**TEXAS A&M:** Big time performance. The plan on defense was spectacular. Blitzes had free run to backfield time after time. Couple 1 on 1 losses on top of that. 11 spiked the stretch play early & that seemed to be it. He is a game wrecker. 5 active again. 4 solid. 56 looked great inside. 18 motors around. Safeties great in run support. Limited explosive plays. Held a great rush attack to 68 yards! QB throwing darts. Had some nice throws. Even misses were in the right place. WRs helped him. YAC & tough grabs. 8 ran hard, again. He's been great. OL Good handling all the movement. 17 adds pop in run game. 89 & 88 helped at TE also. All of a sudden they are in a really nice spot headed to the off week.

**VANDERBILT:** Historic program changing win. QB played his fanny off. He's a wizard. Manipulates the read game so well. Made great decisions & when he had to ad lib he got it done. 28 ran hard. 23 was big in the east west run game. 44 solid blocking. 9 a legit playmaker. Matchup nightmare & still learning the position. 0 a huge TD grab after the miss down the sideline. Did t think he was getting back underneath that ball. The OC stuck with the plan to see what defense presented them play off it. That takes patience & commitment. Defense made plays. Limited big plays. 29 got to the QB. 24 got to the QB. 10 & 4 nice at LB. Def got a score & a few big stops. The path was known. Keep the elite skill players on the sideline. They did it. Converted more 3rd downs than the opponent had allowed in 4 games. Did not turn the ball over & possessed the ball for 42:08. We're not pushed around. We're not bullied. Make no mistake. This was not given. Not a gift. This game was not lost. It was won. They took this game.
