of the game. Alabama's offense went
nowhere on its final drive. The Tide got
up in the first half on two Jamie
Christensen field goals, with the second
coming after a Simeon Castille

Conference Roundup
Alabama
… Alabama showed how limited it
currently is on offense against
Tennessee even though D.J. Hall is one
of the SEC's best receivers and John
Parker Wilson is an emerging
quarterback. When the running game was
completely shut down, the passing game
couldn't pick up the slack and there
wasn't anything in the fourth quarter to
turn things around once Tennessee got
momentum. The Vol defensive line
dominated late, but Bama was able to
show that it could hang tough when
everything wasn't going well. Now the
offense has to use the scrimmage against
FIU, and the almost sure win against
Mississippi State, to get geared up for
the battle at LSU.
Arkansas … Beating Ole Miss as
easily as Arkansas did proved that the
team is close to being fully jelled. The
running game was held in check, but the
defense and the mistake-free passing of
Mitch Mustain helped to get the easy
win. It's always great to have weapons
waiting to explode with Felix Jones and
Darren McFadden once against going off.
With a layup next week against UL
Monroe, it'll be yet another chance for
Mustain to throw a little bit and get
the passing game going a little more for
the South Carolina game.
Auburn … Auburn was able to play
an unfocused, average game without its
star back, Kenny Irons, and still beat
Tulane with ease. There's no reason to
try to look into all the yards the Tiger
D gave up; it stiffened when it had to.
Ben Tate showed how good the future of
the running game might be, and now he
might get more and more work to keep
Irons and Brad Lester fresh. If Brandon
Cox didn't have hit best game of the
year, it was a close second with no
mistakes while doing a great job on
third downs.
Florida … Didn’t Play This Week
Georgia … The Georgia offense is
going to struggle all season long with
its consistency, but the defense is
starting to slip in a big way. If having
problems against Vanderbilt wasn't
enough, the Dawg D struggled against a
pathetic Mississippi State attack. To be
fair, the D was put in bad situations by
five turnovers from the offense, but
there were a few long MSU drives
including an 80-yard march for a score
in the fourth along with the late drive
to get in range to win the game. The
offense will have to be flawless next
week against Florida to make it
competitive.
Kentucky … Didn’t Play This Week
LSU … LSU once again showed it
can blow out bad teams at home having no
problem disposing of Fresno State ....
no one is noticing. The team needs to
beat someone decent, and now it gets two
weeks off to prepare for Tennessee with
plenty of time to focus and prepare for
a must-win to keep any SEC title hopes
alive. The biggest plus out of the win
over the Bulldogs was the running game
that rumbled for 184 yards to provide a
little bit of balance. The defense
dominated on third downs.
Ole Miss … Brent Schaeffer
looked great against Alabama, and then
regressed against Arkansas. He's a
dangerous player when on the move, so
why doesn't the coaching staff get him
outside a little bit more to let him
take off? He's too good a weapon to only
be running five times. As a team,
getting more than 3.3 yards per carry
would be nice. The defense was strong
against the Arkansas running game and
needs to be even better next week
against Auburn.
Miss State … MSU's offense was
able to keep the momentum going, at
least a little bit, from the blowout
over Jacksonville State to move the ball
well on a tough Georgia defense. Even
though Michael Henig wasn't consistent
throwing the ball, he was solid under
pressure and got the team within range
of the win. The D was great at forcing
turnovers and needs to keep up the
pressure and production to get back on
track next week against Kentucky. The
offensive line has to do a better job of
keeping defenders out of the backfield.
South Carolina … South Carolina
got a great game from its defense
against Vanderbilt to make up for an
uneven and sloppy game from the offense.
Even with all the mistakes, Syvelle
Newton played well moving the chains
converting eight of 11 third down
chances. The defense was camped out in
the Commodore backfield all game long,
and will have to do more of the same to
stay with Tennessee next week.
Tennessee … Alabama can play a
little defense, so there's no reason to
get too up in arms over average
offensive performance in the win. No,
Erik Ainge isn't back to his 2005 form
with three interceptions; he was able to
make up for most of his mistakes by
spreading the ball around well. The
defense gave up a huge play to D.J.
Hall, but that was about it. There was
no consistent Bama offense to speak of
with the Vols holding Ken Darby to just
26 yards and pressuring QB John Parker
Wilson all game long. With a road trip
to South Carolina, a battle with LSU and
a game at Arkansas over the next three
weeks, the offense has to figure out how
to get all the parts, especially the
running game, back on track in a big
hurry.
Vanderbilt … Vandy wasn't able to
capitalize on the big win over Georgia
with a horrible offensive showing
against South Carolina. The defense
provided every break possible forcing
four turnovers, but QB Chris Nickson was
off all game long with his passes and
only moved the ball with his legs
rushing for 70 yards. The offensive line
struggled against the USC pressure and
wasn't able to get any room to move for
the backs. The Commodores should be able
to get back on track against Duke next
week, but with Florida and Tennessee
still on the schedule, the home loss to
the Gamecocks effectively killed all
bowl dreams.
