SEC Game of
the Week
Tennessee 27 ... South Carolina 24 OT
Tennessee overcame a South Carolina comeback by forcing
overtime on a 48-yard Daniel Lincoln field goal, that was pushed
back five yards after a Vol false start penalty that ended up
bailing out a missed kick. Lincoln nailed his 27-yard attempt in
overtime, South Carolina's Ryan Succop missed his 40-yard attempt
wide right, and the Vols escaped. Tennessee had a 21-0 first half
lead on short runs from Arian Foster and Montario Hardesty, and a
five-yard Josh Briscoe catch, but South Carolina owned the second
half, as Blake Mitchell, in for Chris Smelley, ran for a score and
threw an eight-yard touchdown pass to Kenny McKinley, to go along
with a 29-yard Cory Boyd scoring dash. South Carolina outgained
Tennessee 501 yards to 317.

Conference Roundup
Alabama
… Didn’t Play This Week
Arkansas … With two straight easy
wins after the tough loss to Auburn, the
Hogs appear to be back on track going
into a tough final month. Getting Marcus
Monk back should help the passing game
immeasurably, while the running attack
keeps getting production from anyone who
wants to run the ball. Is Nathan Emert
going to get more of a chance under
center? It'll be interesting to see how
the quarterback situation progresses as
the year finishes up. Yes, blasting
Florida International is great for the
confidence, but beating South Carolina
next week would change the season
around.
Auburn … Auburn didn't do
anything fancy against Ole Miss, using
the running game and good defense to win
without a problem. Considering the way
the Tigers lost to LSU last week, the
coaching staff kept things simple, and
it worked. With Tennessee Tech ahead,
now everyone can rest up for the big
finishing kick against Georgia and
Alabama. With the way the defense is
getting into the backfield, there
shouldn't be a problem letting down for
a week.
Florida … Tim Tebow is hurt. The
Gators might have put up 30 points on
Georgia, but seven came from the
defense, and the offense wasn't the same
with Tebow getting 13 carries late.
Percy Harvin was used more as a runner,
but the big problem was Kestahn Moore's
fumbling. Urban Meyer stopped using him,
and then the overall options became
severely limited. Once again, the
secondary struggled, and it's going to
be tested the rest of the year until it
proves it can consistently stop the deep
ball.
Georgia … It might be easy to
dismiss the team's on-field celebration
after the first touchdown against
Florida as a goofy gimmick, but it threw
down the gauntlet and appeared to give
the Dawgs an attitude that the Gators
couldn't stop. The defensive line was
terrific, teeing off on Tim Tebow and
rarely letting him get any room to move.
The offensive line had one of its best
games all season long. Knowshown Moreno
might have been the star of the game,
but this might have been the coming out
party for Matthew Stafford on a big-time
scale. He only threw one miserably bad
pick, and was brilliant on his three
touchdown passes. Now the key will be to
keep this fire. It's one thing to rock
Florida. It'll be another to show up
against a good Troy team (don't laugh)
next week.
Kentucky … Excuses time. After
playing LSU and Florida, Kentucky
couldn't be mentally and physically up
for dealing with Mississippi State. It
showed. The offensive line got shoved
around by the MSU defensive front, while
the defense didn't do much to help the
cause after the O gave up six turnovers.
Even the special teams got involved with
the disaster with a botched punt
attempt. Now things get tough again,
going on the road to face Vanderbilt and
Georgia before dealing with Tennessee.
Andre Woodson might be out of the
Heisman race now, but he can still
become a difference maker in the SEC
race again.
LSU … Didn’t Play This Week
Ole Miss … The offense has gone
from bad to non-existent. BenJarvus
Green-Ellis isn't getting much room to
move, while the passing game has gone
bye-bye with Seth Adams struggling to
get anything working deep. For the
second straight game, Brent Schaeffer
came in, and for the second straight
game, he showed he's not the answer.
Fortunately, Northwestern State is ahead
before facing LSU. Now will be the time
to bomb away with the passing game to
get a little confidence.
Miss State … Talk about being
able to bounce back. MSU was awful in
the loss to West Virginia, and then it
came up with a defensive gem to shock
Kentucky and get within one more win of
bowl eligibility. The defense forced
turnovers, six of them, while the
offense didn't give them away. That
turned out to be the difference, thanks
to the pressure from the UK front that
made life tough for Andre Woodson. The
combination of Christian Ducre and
Anthony Dixon running the ball should be
enough to take the heat off Wesley
Carroll against Alabama and/or Arkansas.
South Carolina … Talk about your
gut-wrenching losses. South Carolina
gave it everything it had against
Tennessee, with players getting carried
off the field from cramps and
exhaustion, but still came within an
eyelash of pulling off the huge
comeback. Cory Boyd and Kenny McKinley
were magnificent, while Blake Mitchell
solidified himself as the starting
quarterback, at least for now. The
Gamecocks might have blown their big
shot at taking control of the East, but
they can still stay in the race with
wins over Arkansas and Florida.
Tennessee … The secondary can't
stop anyone, the running game was stuck
in the mud, and Erik Ainge only threw
for 216 yards, but the Vols still came
up with the win over South Carolina and
is now within shouting distance of
winning the East. Over the next week
against UL Lafayette, the offense has to
find a groove again. Inconsistency
continues to be a problem, but this team
battles hard. That might be enough in
this year's East.
Vanderbilt … It wasn't exactly
the performance the team wanted after
beating South Carolina, but Jonathan
Goff and the defense never let Miami
have much of a chance in the second half
to be a threat. There were three fumbles
and an interception, but the Commodore
offense worked well on the ground and
did what it needed to do to keep the
chains moving, particularly in the
fourth quarter. In the end, the day
belonged to Earl Bennett, who now has
215 career catches to be the SEC's
all-time leading receiver. He's a
special talent who'll start to get more
and more recognition. Finally.
