SEC Football: Impressions From Around the Conference: Week Eleven

Another fantastic week of SEC Football is behind us. Below you will find our impressions from this week’s games. There were several intriguing matchups. Be sure to share your own impressions of them in the comments below. Off we go!

Alabama:

• Jalen Hurts is making strides in the passing game. However, he still has room for improvement. His interception was atrocious. And he missed a few reads.
• Ardarius Stewart is Jalen’s favorite target. He had a big game, with over 100 yards and three touchdowns.
• The defense is filthy.
• Adam Griffith had a good day kicking the ball.

Arkansas:

• The Hog defense was gashed by Leonard Fournette and Derrius Guice all night.
• The running game stalled out, putting the game on Austin Allen‘s shoulders.
• Allen proved that he was not up to the task.

Auburn:

• The defense played well for most of the game, though they did seem to wear down in the fourth quarter.
• Sean White was absolutely atrocious.
• Kamryn Pettway was sorely missed.

Florida:

• Aside from one interception, Austin Appleby was marvelous. He may have stolen Luke Del Rio‘s job.
• Jordan Scarlett was a one man run-game. He played excellently.
• The Gator defense was excellent. They completely shut down the run and make life hard for Jake Bentley.

Georgia:

• Nick Chubb and Sony Michel both had effective days carrying the football.
• Jacob Eason made some exceptional throws. He really seems to be coming into his own.
• Riley Ridley looks like he might be developing into the true WR1 that Georgia so desperately needs.

Kentucky:

• The running game is consistently excellent.
• Unfortunately the passing game is very poor. Stephen Johnson played like hot garbage.
• The defense was also extremely unimpressive.

LSU:

• Leonard Fournette was a bit banged up in this one, but he still had a nice game.
• Derrius Guice, meanwhile, exploded. He went for over 200 yards and scored two touchdowns.
• Danny Etling did what Danny Etling does, managed the game.

Mississippi State:

• Mississippi State got crushed into oblivion by Alabama.
• The Bulldogs were completely overwhelmed on offense, defense, and special teams.

Missouri:

• Damarea Crockett had himself a whale of a game running the football.
• Drew Lock was effective throwing the football.
• The tiger defense did an excellent job of shutting down the Commodore rushing attack.

Ole Miss:

• Shea Patterson looked shaky at first, but he really settled in nicely. The SEC has some talented young quarterbacks.
• Akeem Judd was leaned on early and he responded well, netting 100 yards on the day.
• Gary Wunderlich was the hero of the evening. He was three for three on field goals, including the game winner.

South Carolina:

• Rico Dowdle and David Williams had absolutely no room to run.
• The Carolina defense did a whole lot of bending but not a lot of breaking.
• Jake Bentley played pretty well given the circumstances.

Tennessee:

• Joshua Dobbs made the Wildcats pay in the air as well as on the ground.
• Alvin Kamara is back to full health and it showed.
• The Volunteer defense is still marshmallow-soft against the run.

Texas A&M:

• Jake Hubenak played decently in the absence of Trevor Knight.
• Trayveon Williams was quietly effective.
• Ultimately the Aggie defense let the team down in a big way.

Vanderbilt:

Kyle Shurmur

played decently, but he tossed two interceptions. You can’t do that and expect to win in the SEC.
