SEC Game of
the Week
LSU 30 ... Auburn 24
Down one with time ticking down, and time out left, and within
range for a 40-yard field goal LSU gambled and it paid off, as Matt
Flynn connected with Demetrius Byrd for a 22-yard touchdown with one
second to play to stun Auburn. The AU Tigers took the lead on a
three-yard touchdown catch from Rod Smith for their only points of
the second half, as LSU, down 17-7 at halftime, moved the ball time
and again, but came up with three second half Colt David field goals
and a five-yard Jacob Hester score. Auburn took the lead into
halftime helped by a 17-yard Montez Billings catch and a one-yard
Carl Stewart run, but LSU got on the board with a 46-yard pass play
to Keiland Williams.

Conference Roundup
Alabama
… Talk about putting it all together at
the right time. If Alabama can throw
against LSU like it did against
Tennessee, and if it can stiffen up
against the run like it did this week,
it should be able to pull off the upset.
Now the Tide can reasonably dream about
winning the West, and now all the focus
and all the attention can be on the
Tigers. The key is keeping John Parker
Wilson upright. Tennessee couldn't get
any pressure on him, and he threw for
363 yards. Considering the suspensions
this week, this was a shocker.
Arkansas … Now that's how
it's all supposed to work. Arkansas
dominated Ole Miss with the running
game, Casey Dick threw extremely well,
coming up with his best game of the
year, the defense crushed the Rebel O
line with five sacks, and forced four
interceptions. This is what Arkansas is
supposed to do, and it was an extremely
important win after the ugly loss to
Auburn. With the sure-thing win over FIU
next week, being 5-3 going into the
South Carolina battle will be a plus for
the team's shot at becoming a player in
the bowl picture.
Auburn … Auburn's defense
couldn't come up with enough stops in
the second half. Brandon Cox did a great
job leading the comeback to get the
Tigers in a position to beat LSU, but
the D just couldn't get off the field.
There can't be any real complaints.
Auburn did what it needed to do to get
the win, and it took a special,
all-timer type of play for LSU to pull
off the win. On the plus side, a lot of
the offensive pieces appear to be in
place to start rolling. With Ole Miss
and Tennessee Tech ahead, now is when
the team can pad the record a bit.
Florida … The offense is still
banking too much on Tim Tebow
game-in-and-game-out to produce, but
he's producing. At some point, the
running backs have to get more involved.
Kestahn Moore only got six carries,
while Tebow got 20. Getting the ball in
Percy Harvin's hands is never a bad
thing. He got six carries and two
catches, and while he got bottled up for
the most part, he sprung two big plays
to break UK's back. Finally getting
Andre Caldwell back in the mix is a
very, very good thing, allowing the
passing game to open up even more.
Georgia … Didn’t Play This Week
Kentucky … Kentucky certainly
gives its fans their money's worth.
Andre Woodson and the offense did a
great job of fighting their way back in
the game against Florida, but the
defense didn't have an answer for Tim
Tebow. Considering Rafael Little was out
again, the running game was just fine
with Derrick Locke for a second straight
week, but this game was all about
Woodson. He got time, and he made
Florida sweat. The SEC dream season is
hardly over, but now the Wildcats will
have to win its final four games against
Miss State, at Vandy, at Georgia and
Tennessee.
LSU … It was still a bad play. LSU
might have pulled out an all-timer of a
throw to beat Auburn, but it was an
unnecessary chance the coaching staff
took, and while it might be seen as
gutsy, that's the type of mismanagement,
not knowing exactly what's happing with
the clock, that down the road could get
the Tigers beat. That's not a great
Auburn offense that moved the ball on
the supposedly great LSU defense that
now has to worry about an injured Glenn
Dorsey. This is an LSU team that looks
like it needs two weeks off.
Ole Miss … And now there's a
quarterback issue again. Seth Adams
can't stop throwing interceptions, with
ten in the last three games, and Brent
Schaeffer showed once again that he just
isn't a consistent SEC quarterback. With
the offensive line struggling so much
against the Arkansas pass rush, the
quarterbacks never had much of a chance.
Good luck next week with that trip to
Auburn and its killer D line.
Miss State … MSU struggled
defensively against Tennessee last week,
and this week wasn't even close to
slowing down the West Virginia rushing
attack. The D line didn't necessarily
get shoved around, but the Mountaineers
were able to open up the holes with the
quickness up front. Offensively, Wesley
Carroll wasn't able to get things moving
well enough to keep up the pace, while
the running game didn't provide any help
averaging 1.4 yards per carry.
South Carolina … The South
Carolina offensive line had been playing
well at times, but it got blasted by the
Vanderbilt defensive front. The
Commodores got into the backfield early
and often, pressuring both quarterbacks,
and never let the Gamecock running game
get going. Chris Smelley and Blake
Mitchell each played roughly the same
game, but Smelley made the costlier
mistakes. The SEC title is still there
for the taking, but now there's no
margin for error with the big boys
coming up.
Tennessee … Just when you think
Tennessee is about to make a major move
and become a big player in the SEC race,
it gets its doors blown off by Bama. The
defense has been the issue all season
long, and this week, the secondary
couldn't handle the onslaught once John
Parker Wilson got hot. While that wasn't
a shock, the lack of production from the
Vol passing game was surprising. The
Tide secondary never let the Vol
receivers breathe. With four straight
home games ahead, UT needs to get back
on track in a hurry with a win over
South Carolina next week. Win that, and
it's right back in the title hunt until
the regular season ender at Kentucky.
Vanderbilt … The South Carolina
offense wasn't exactly sharp, but the
Vandy defense had a lot to do with that,
getting into the backfield from the word
go and getting four key turnovers.
Mackenzi Adams was the main man at
quarterback in place of Chris Nickson,
and while he wasn't amazing, he
outplayed the USC passers, especially
with his legs rushing for 84 yards. Now
a bowl game is a must with a few
winnable games ahead. They only need
two.
