Around the SEC West: More of the Same

Print#2 Alabama 5-0 (2-0 SEC)
Ho hum. Alabama beat Florida 38-10. The Crimson Tide defense held Florida to fifteen rushing yards on twenty-nine carries. Yeah. I didn't write that wrong. Alabama's offense continued to thunder along with 226 rushing yards on a 5.3 yard per carry average. Mark your calendars for November 5th. That's when Bama takes on LSU. Epic. This Saturday, Alabama decimates Vanderbilt at 6 PM CT on ESPNU. Watch it if you like that video of the girl hurling puppies into a shallow river.
#10 Arkansas 4-1 (0-1 SEC)
The Razorbacks won a stellar, comeback victory over the soon-to-join-this-column Texas A&M Aggies wih a 42-38 score. If you didn't watch, you missed out. The Aggies were up 35-17 at the half and looked to be cruising. Then Tyler Wilson came alive for a school record 510 yards passing. Wilson played a great game, but the story of the night was the Arkansas defense who forced two turnovers to A&M's zero. When first-year starters throw 51 passes against a strong defense and don't turn the ball over once, they're sure to be something special. Wilson, a junior, is going to be a force at Arkansas. The Razorbacks play against Auburn in Fayetteville this Saturday at 6 on ESPN. This is the matchup to watch this weekend.
#15 Auburn 4-1 (2-0 SEC)
Auburn did just enough to pull an upset of the South Carolina Gamecocks and continue SEC West dominance with a 16-13 win. The Tiger defense forced Stephen Garcia to a 9/23 line with two interceptions. Even with such a dominant performance at stopping the pass, they were able to hold Marcus Lattimore to just 3.9 yards per carry. The offense was mediocre but got the job done on the last drive of the game, scoring the go ahead touchdown. Auburn is surprising a lot of people this year, and they've got a shot at something good when they travel to Fayetteville this weekend.
LSU 5-0 (2-0 SEC)
In comedic fashion, LSU beat the Wildcats 35-7. By comedic fashion I mean that QB Jarrett Lee completed just eight of his twenty-one attempts on the night, but the Tigers still had no trouble with Kentucky. Felon Misdemean QB Jordan Jefferson returned to the team and carried the ball four times with twenty-nine yards and a touchdown. The Jefferson-Lee dynamic is one on which to keep an eye. The LSU defense continued on their quest to single-handedly win a national championship by allowing just sixty-six yards through the air.... in a game they were winning from the start. LSU plays #17 Florida this Saturday in the 2:30 time slot on CBS in what is sure to be.... a blowout win for the Tigers.
MSU 2-3 (0-3 SEC)
Lolocaust. Roflcopter. State lost to UGA by the same margin we did. MSU has to win this weekend to have any hope of winning more than six games. This season has been awesome for them. They play South Carolina at 11:00 on the SEC Network. Watch their linebackers try to stop Marcus Lattimore. Laugh.

Oops.
No one cares about UAB. Can that be my excuse?

Shouldn't LSU be atop the page at #1 and 5-0 (2-0)???
Of course, fuck LSU and their purple balls, so if it’s a purposeful smite because they are so awful and terrible, then carry on. But I’m a little bit OCD about stuff like that, so I thought I’d ask.

Ooohhhhh, bad burn stings badly.
but still, there’s no rank in front of LSU n stuff.
What a relief.
I was worried that Mississippi State had turned a corner. I’d love to make all those announcers listen to themselves talk about what a great quarterback Relf is and see the looks on their faces. (Anything to take my mind off that Vanderbilt loss, I guess.)

Yes, me too,
Relf, THE most underrated player in the nation, according to some ESPN numb nuts.
Should be fun watching Auburn v. Arkansas. I wonder who will be named THE most underrated player in the nation in that game.
And, speaking of announcers, and I just have to say this, impale me with a rusty flounder gig if you wish, but does anyone really enjoy listening to David Kellum? He’s a swell guy who loves Ole Miss and all that , but is this really, I mean, really, the best we can do? Are we that underfunded?
Have a nice weekend gentlemen. Here’s to you.
he has such a lovely voice though. it's like magic.

I actually think Relf is pretty good - one of their better players.
You just don’t lose a 1st round draft pick at LT, 2 drafted LBs, and a drafted DE when you’re MSU and expect to get better. We found that out in 2009.
With that said, I think most of what they have is through Relf. He and Ballard really make the offense go. I think once you lose those two, they will be back to your regularly scheduled MSU – and Mullen will be kicking himself for not getting out when he had a shot.
Mullen knows
Like Zook after Spurrier, now was not the time to jump to the Gators. Let Muschamp have a Mediocre season next year and he can come in like Urban Meyer did as the Gator Savior.

Very underwhelming...
We’ve really not had a great announcer since Torgueson retired. Still Kellum is better than Charlie McAlexander who did Ole Miss and I believe Vandy and South Carolina play by play too.
