Another week of SEC Football is in the books. There were a couple of surprises, such as Arkansas beating TCU and Georgia almost losing to Nicholls. But for the most part, everything went as expected.

Cupcakes were enjoyed by a majority of SEC teams. Texas A&M in particular was dominant against Prairie View. But they weren’t the only ones. Alabama, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, LSU, Auburn, and Missouri all feasted on out of conference confections.

That’s without even mentioning the Florida Gators, who cruised to their 30th consecutive victory over perennial conference cupcake Kentucky. The Gators were led to the win by Luke Del Rio, who may be emerging as a potential all-conference candidate at the quarterback spot. It also helps that the Gator defense is nasty.

It is also perhaps worth mentioning that LSU may have finally made a quarterback change. Danny Etling came in to the game against Jacksonville State after Brandon Harris got off to a poor start. Etling would go on to complete six of his 14 passes for 100 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately, he also threw an interception and fumbled.
