SEC Game of
the Week
Kentucky 42
... UL Monroe 40
UL Monroe's two-point conversion attempt
after a one-yard Kinsmon Lanscaster
touchdown run came up short as Kentucky
held on in the final minute to get the
tough win. The Wildcats roared out to a
28-10 lead helped by two of Keenan
Burton's three touchdown catches and an
84-yard Rafael Little punt return for a
score, but the Warhawks stayed alive
with three Calvin Dawson touchdown runs
after opening the scoring with a blocked
field goal for a score from Greg James.
The two teams combined for 958 yards and
52 first downs.

Conference Roundup
Alabama
… Alabama's offense moved the ball well
against Auburn with John Parker Wilson
having a nice day, especially on third
downs, but the turnovers were killers.
The defense had a nice game, but it
couldn't force the Tigers to kick field
goals off the mistakes and allowed
touchdowns. Even so, the secondary did a
fantastic job and the defensive front
seven kept Kenny Irons in check. Now the
heat will really be on Mike Shula. Yes,
he took the program from ground zero
after all the controversies and had a
few solid years, but Bama coaches who
lose four straight to Auburn don't last
long. He'd better hope the team doesn't
get bounced out of a bowl game by some
7-5 team.
Arkansas …
After the
50-14 trouncing by USC to start off the
season, no one, not even the craziest
Hog fan, could’ve foreseen a trip to the
SEC title game while being in the hunt
for the national championship. The win
over Mississippi State sealed up the
West doing so without its normal killer
running game. Defense, special teams,
and Darren McFadden came through to beat
the Bulldogs, but to get by LSU, the
offense has to be back to its old,
dominant self when it comes to the
ground game. If the secondary can play
like it did against the suddenly
semi-hot MSU passing game, LSU will be
in trouble.
Auburn … Yeah, maybe Auburn won
its fifth straight Iron Bowl, and that's
all the fans will talk about for the
next year, but it masked another bad
performance by the offense. Brandon Cox,
who doesn't look healthy, was awful with
too many misfires, while Kenny Irons
rarely got moving. Thank goodness for
the defense that gave the offense good
enough field position to capitalize.
Even with all the problems, ten wins
from an SEC team, no matter how it got
them, is impressive in any year. It
might not be a national title year, or
even an SEC West championship season,
but this has been a successful season no
matter how it's measured.
Florida … Welcome to the future
of Florida football. Fine, so the Gator
walk-ons are probably better than the
Western Carolina starters, but Tim Tebow,
Riley Cooper, and Mon Williams gave
Florida fans just a taste of what the
next three years are going to be like.
Tebow was more than solid in an expanded
role, and Cooper showed what kind of a
scoring threat he can be. Now if the
Gators can just keep up the offensive
efficiency against Florida State and in
the SEC title game against Florida,
they'll get their shot against Ohio
State ... maybe.
Georgia … Didn’t Play This Week
Kentucky …
If UL Monroe
isn’t the worst team in America, it’s in
the team photo, yet the UK defense made
the Warhawks look like Ohio State. The
run defense was non-existent with the
ULM running game working well inside and
out. Andre Woodson and Keenan Burton
once again came up with tremendous games
to save the day, but to have any shot
against Tennessee, the linebackers have
to be night-and-day better over the next
week. The Vols will roll for at least
500 yards, so the UK offense had better
be ready for a shootout.
LSU … If
JaMarcus Russell is thinking about
heading to the NFL early, and he
certainly has the skills to do so, he
might want to think again after the
close call against Ole Miss. The Rebels
did a great job of disguising their
blitzes and generating pressure from all
angles, and Russell didn’t do a good
enough job of sniffing them out, While
he came through in crunch time with the
fourth quarter needed to pull out the
win, it was an uneven performance. The
Tigers won’t be able to get away with
the Ole Miss effort against Arkansas
next week.
Ole Miss …
While Ole Miss
might not be winning much in SEC play,
there are signs that this could be a
big-time sleeper team next season. It
pushed Alabama, Auburn and LSU to the
wall over the last few weeks with
improved play from the defense and just
enough offense to stay alive. Over the
off-season, after the Egg Bowl against
Miss State, step one will be to find out
how to get more offensive punch. There’s
a ceiling on how high the team, in its
current form, can go.
Miss State …
Just when it
looked like MSU was bout to turn a
corner, QB Michael Henig got hurt for
the second time this year getting
knocked out of the Arkansas loss with a
broken collarbone. While Henig struggled
against the Hogs, and Omarr Conner
completed six of nine passes, he was a
shot in the arm for an offense that
desperately needed one. The defense was
tremendous against the Arkansas run
defense coming from all angles to make
plays in the backfield while LB Quinton
Culberson had another All-SEC caliber
performance.
South Carolina …
Middle
Tennessee might get bombed by anyone
with a pulse, but going into the
showdown against Clemson, USC needed to
blow up someone. Did Blake Mitchell show
he’s the quarterback to revolve the
offense around? Now necessarily, but he
did come up with one of his best
performances yet. Now the challenge is
for Sidney Rice to prove he can produce
big numbers this season against a good
team. While Mitchell has a lot to do
with that, getting offensive production
from other receivers certainly helps.
Tennessee …
Welcome back,
Erik Ainge. Jonathan Crompton has the
potential to be good in time (he went
0-for-4 in mop-up duty against
Vanderbilt), but the offense hums far
better when Ainge is at the helm. His
decision making and accuracy are all the
difference for the attack. It doesn’t
seem to matter who’s running the ball;
LaMarcus Coker, Montario Hardesty and
Arian Foster are all deadly. This week
it was Coker’s turn with a huge 87-yard
run to put it away.
Vanderbilt …
Vanderbilt had
to deal with a Tennessee team jacked up
to come up with a win after last year’s
disastrous loss to end the season. Chris
Nickson was brought back down to earth
after several good weeks having no time
to work and being unable to bust off any
big runs. Earl Bennett was held in
check, and none of the backs could get
going. This wasn’t exactly the way the
team wanted to go into the off-season,
but it was still a good stepping-stone
season with Nickson turning into a
playmaker to build around.
