**Alabama:** Huge win. Great job limiting freebies for the other WRs. They got one early then Bama made it more difficult. 92 had a really nice game. 13 with some huge plays. 15 off the edge just got better of the course of the game. Liked the speed packages with 15 inside & 34 on field! Stayed fairly disciplined with rush but still didn't matter some. 2 made nice open field tackles. 3 was solid. 41 made some things happen. QB was super poised. Pocket was so close to breaking down, showed great patience then very deliberate when leaving. Designed QB runs helped. Couple new wrinkles from the OC I haven't seen this year. Milroe incredible on 3rd down. Ground game helped control game late. OL pretty good for the most part. 52 & 65 had some nice finishes. Liked how 2 got downhill. TEs & RBs helped with chips. Didn't panic or press & ultimately I thought that was the difference.

**Arkansas:** Looked like a new group we've seen before. Misdirection, play action, tempo, quick game, Q run. All helped. QB legs make a big difference. Felt like he just said I got this late. . 5 obviously brings a great deal. Tackles struggled with speed. OL just beat up. 0 showed good patience. 4 made some good grabs. 30 got after it in run game! 40 made an impact, was in backfield often. Defense was playing fast! Secondary came downhill well. LBs had motors going but over ran a few & missed. 2 played well on back end. Overcame TO's on road for a must have win!

**Auburn:** Stacked another win towards a possible strong finish. 27 dynamic, great patience & vision. Saw cuts early. Also solid as a blocker! Got sloppy after the 1st few big runs. Pick 6 bad. Avoided another INT. Pressure on slide protection unacceptable. Drops egregious. 13 did lots of things well. Off just seemed to lack rhythm. 35 hustled, doing more things well, just a ball player. 0 showed up again! 4 made a few REALLY nice plays! 52, 99, 50 problematic inside.

**Florida:** 34 1 caused problems. 88 disrupted. 1 big time off edge. Played front side of the run fairly well. 17 saw things well it appeared. 7 was nice on off, not bad in pass pro either. Good cuts. 3 made big receptions. QB distributed well. Missed some shots. Kept plays alive. Struggled passing off pressures up front. Don't handle 1st level on run game well enough. Just lacked consistency when needed most. Have to find wins down the stretch.

**Georgia:** Survive & advance. QB made some big throws. YES he missed a few but he anticipated most throws very well. OL lost a few 1 on 1's in pass pro. 4 effective in multiple ways. Plan don't seem as diverse. More reliant on straight drop back. Felt like they didn't want to give the DL chance to make more plays so they took easy access throws. ran like a bully! 84 is big time, can take over in multiple ways. LB play exceptional minus a few stretch plays, they lost edge & overpersued a few times. 23 great again. 52 & 13 flashed. 78 INT swayed all of it. Really nice win.

**Kentucky:** Needed that one. Stoops told us they were in a pit & only way out was to fight their way out. They did. Big win in lots of ways. Don't press. Both sides had good feel for game & stayed necessary. 77 was solid up front. 0 had a good game in backfield. Got looks through air because of what 1 offers, he does so much well for this team. 9 had a big night. WR/TE group blocked well. QB showed amazing escapability! Need to win on 3rd down more. 32 was all over. Made plays. 11 flew down to the box. 31 really good. 54 made up for last week, INT was big. 97 is really playing well for them inside. Massive one on deck.

**LSU** Tough one. QB absurd. Not the same without him. Broke the defense down with multiple big runs. Tackles struggled a little. Thought middle of OL was solid. Felt like they would try to go at them some with 3 but never really happen. 8 was amazing. Collectively a few big drops & QB missed a few throws he normally makes. DTs got shoulders turned a little too much. Needed more disruption in the middle. Eyes played tricks on them. Took themselves out of some plays at 2nd & 3rd level. 30 really good. 4 played hard. Went toe to toe. The pick was too much to overcome.

**Mississippi State:** Rough night. Great atmosphere. Cool to see 98 team come out with Jackie. Couldn't lean on the run. Liked how the playmakers were targeted early. Just no rhythm. Protection breakdowns hurt. Thought 69 & 64 did some nice work. Pick 6was back breaker. Receivers were going to have to help out a ton. Right move trying Fr QB. Just wasn't going to be able to provide that big of a spark. 73 yards on ground won't do it. 44 is the most under appreciated player in the league. He saves so many yards. 14 played great. 37 flashed! 36 is coming on, needs weight. 10 is playing good ball. My action started to get them late. 3 did some nice things. Tough on that group with how game was unfolding. Saw some real frustration from some guys I didn't expect to. Can't carry that over. Flags hurt.

**Missouri:** DL brought it. 6 was great! Was not going to be denied. Delayed blitzes were effective. Aggressive plan on D gave them chances. They were flying around. Secondary may have missed a few but they did not lack physicality. Like the pre snap movement on off. Like adding Q runs early. His legs bailed them out some but maybe left a tad early at times. 3 is ridiculous. 7 made the most of his carries, patience, vision, toughness. Had the stretch going for a min. 1st pick put them in a bad spot. 2nd just forced. Did some nice things but it was going to have to be damn near perfect.

**OleMiss** Another win not exactly according to plan or in a familiar way. Def was aggressive. Won up front. 89 nice with hands, huge game. 99 was in backfield. 23 active. Tackled well for the most part. Not much YAC. Cut backs got them a few times. 13 was an animal! Limited explosives. 5 made big plays. Big day for the off. QB solid. Couple questionable decisions. 9 just insane. Esp with grabs out of bounds! 4 ran hard. OL pretty good considering what that front is. Plan did a great job stealing eyes. Pullers were too high too often. 57 strained in run game. 86 makes so much happen. Big win, bigger one on deck.

**South Carolina:** You take the W & move on. Like Shane said, celebrate it! Like new formations with movement. Could not protect. Love 91 getting the ball!! Pocket movement helped. QB sharp when he could set up. 2 back gave them easy checks. Widened field for defense. 17 big time, inside/outside/deep ball/run after catch...just a monster! 0 did helpful things. Missed LB run thru in run game too often. 6 played well. Huge play from 52 to seal it. 7 good up front. Struggled with some reads. Deep balls a problem again.

**Tennessee:** Handled their business. Ran the offense. QB made good decisions, took check downs, added runs. Don't get carried away. Found explosives. 0 continues to impress. WRs had plenty of room. Center played well. OL gave a little pressure later. TEs great with inserts again, 34 solid! Def great. 13 TFL's! 17 & 10 stood out. Controlled LOS. Lot of guys got good reps. Took the ball away. Need to cut down on penalties. YAC a problem. 10 was solid. 0 was aggressive!Struggled in space but made plays when they had to have them. 3rd down def a struggle. Takeaways were difference.

**Texas A&M:** Brutal loss. Looked like it was over. Blocked kick gives new life & couldn't finish it. The protection has to get cleaned up. Especially up the middle. Looks like QB, C, RB all have some responsibility at times. QB retreats too early & too often. Still get a few poor decisions each week. Nice game for 9. Ball security not good enough. Flags hurt. Drops don't help. Edge defenders has free runs at QB, missed games in slide protection. 42 helped. 4 ran hard. 46 great again on def. 5 good but can't have that. Too important on the field. 4 good on def. Had chances to get takeaways. Need a W in a bad way.

**Vanderbilt:** Going backwards n some ways. Defensive front was feast or famine with movement/stunts. 2nd & 3rd level did not tackle as well up the middle early. Made some plays out wide. Run fits off early. 29 rushed passer well. Love the effort from 10. Backs ran hard. Good plan early to get playmakers touches. QB situation odd. I get letting youngster get reps, when is what seems off to me. Had opportunities down the field, couldn't connect enough. Target 14 more. Can only live in the 0-5yd range for so long. Miserable on 3rd down. Staff still doing a good job of mixing things. Effort is still good overall. Hate to see bowl possibility gone.
