SEC Game of
the Week
Tennessee 25 ... Vanderbilt 24
Tennessee's Daniel Lincoln connected on a 33-yard field goal
with 2:46 to play for a lead, and then the Vols had to hang on as Bryant
Hahnfeldt just missed a 49-yard field goal attempt with 33 seconds to play. The
Commodores got up 24-9 on three Mackenzi Adams touchdown passes, but the Vols
roared back in the fourth quarter on 16 unanswered points with Erik Ainge
connecting with Josh Briscoe for a seven-yard touchdown and with Austin Rogers
from five yards out. Vandy only came up with 270 yards of total offense to
Tennessee's 350.
SEC
Player of

Florida RB Tim
Tebow completed 25 of 34 passes for 338 yards and three touchdowns,
and ran 11 times for 31 yards and a touchdown in the win over
Florida Atlantic
Conference Roundup
Alabama
… Talk about bottoming out. Either
Alabama had big-time problems looking
ahead to Auburn, or the offense really
is that bad. UL Monroe's offense was
held in check, but it was opportunistic
and got just enough from the running
game to keep things moving. It wasn't
like the Bama offense had things working
and just couldn't catch a break; it was
just awful in the second half and now
has to deal with a rested and revved up
Auburn D. Uh oh. A four-game losing
streak to close out will sour the first
tear of the Nick Saban era in a big
hurry.
Arkansas … The secondary has been
a disaster over the last few weeks, and
the running game has bogged down a bit
too much, but the emergence of Casey
Dick as a more reliable passer should be
a huge help against LSU. After last
year's disastrous game against the
Tigers, his performance against
Mississippi State should be just good
enough to keep a little heat off Darren
McFadden. Felix Jones was missed, but
Peyton Hillis picked up a little of the
slack. Jones should be back for LSU.
Auburn … Didn’t Play This Week
Florida … In a throwaway game
against Florida Atlantic, the offense
was able to open things up a little bit
while the defense was able to overcome a
rough second quarter. Tim Tebow once
again showed why he needs to be the
favorite for the Heisman, or at least in
the top two, by setting the SEC record
for rushing touchdowns in a year with
20, while throwing tremendously well
once again. Andre Caldwell continues to
blow up with a fantastic 13 catch
performance. The team's only real knock
was a penalty problem, committing 12 for
75 yards.
Georgia … Georgia showed that it
could win when things weren't going
well. The offense turned it over four
times against Kentucky and didn't get
anything to click from the passing game
down the field, but the defense hit
Andre Woodson time and again while the
running game was its typical strong self
with Thomas Brown contributing more,
with 73 yards and a score, in his second
game back from injury. He might not be
nearly as effective as Knowshown Moreno,
but he was able to crank out 22 carries
to help the overall workload. Now the
Dawgs need a Tennessee loss to play LSU
for the SEC title.
Kentucky … Kentucky's offense
can't get back on track over the second
half of the season and it's mostly due
to the offensive line. Georgia's
defensive front had its way with the
Wildcat front five pressuring Andre
Woodson all game long and stuffing the
running game. The defense had a
relatively strong game holding the Dawgs
to 283 yards of total offense and
forcing four turnovers, and now it'll
have to do even more, while hoping the
offense wakes up, to have a shot against
Tennessee next week.
LSU … LSU continues to put up big
numbers, continues to turn it on when it
has to, and continues to win, but even
through it's the No. 1 team in the
country and things are going well, it
still hasn't played a complete game
since mid-September. The run defense
gave up 201 yards, and while most were
to running quarterback Brent Schaeffer,
there has to be some concern going into
the Arkansas game. Offensively, Matt
Flynn led an efficient attack, but it
could use more pop out of Early Doucet
and the rest of the receiving corps.
There's too much explosion to not put a
team like Ole Miss away right off the
bat.
Ole Miss … Now that's what Brent
Schaeffer should've been doing all
along. He's never going to be an
efficient passer, but he can make a few
big plays here and there, and he has the
speed and athleticism to take off and be
a weapon to freak out defenses. Against
LSU, he kept the Rebels in the game and
kept the heat on. This was a stronger
game for Ole Miss than the final score
might indicate, and while it was fine to
lose to LSU like this, is won't be as
acceptable against Mississippi State.
The offense has to keep the yards
rolling, but the turnovers have to stop,
or at least slow way down.
Miss State … On the plus side out
of the loss to the Hogs, Wesley Carroll
and the passing game was as impressive
as they've been all season, and it's
good to know MSU can air it out, but
there were too many turnovers and the
defense didn't come up with any early
stops to let the Bulldog offense try out
the running game. Not that it was going
anywhere, with Anthony Dixon averaging
2.4 yards per carry, but after the first
quarter it was all about bombing away.
Against Ole Miss, it'll be vital to take
the early lead. The Rebels aren't able
to throw their way back into games.
South Carolina … Didn’t Play This
Week
Tennessee … Everyone keeps
waiting for Tennessee to screw up so
Georgia can go off and play LSU for the
SEC championship, and all the Vols keep
doing is winning and winning and
winning. Tim Tebow has a lock on the
First Team All-SEC honors, but Erik
Ainge is having a phenomenally effective
year as he quietly keeps leading the way
to big drives when the team needs them.
Beating Vanderbilt is tougher than it
might appear, but getting that SEC
sealing victory over Kentucky will be a
war. The Wildcats might not be playing
well, but the spotlight, and the
pressure, are on. The last time the Vols
were on the road they were blasted by
Alabama.
Vanderbilt … How many more times
will Vanderbilt get its heart broken?
It's had its chances to pull off wins to
get bowl eligible under Bobby Johnson,
but something always seems to go wrong
when the team needs that one big play to
pull off a key win. The defense couldn't
hang on in the fourth quarter, while the
offense never got anything going after
Mackenzi Adams had a terrific first
half. After losing three straight, a win
over Wake Forest is a must to get the
magical sixth win.
