SEC Football: Three Things to Watch for in Week Nine

It is time to give you our “Three Things to Watch For” this week. As you can guess, these are the three biggest storylines of the week, that you should keep an eye on. Without any further ado, here is number three!

3. How Will Jacob Eason fare Against a Nasty Florida Secondary?

Jacob Eason has been pretty average this season. For a true freshman in the SEC, average is pretty darn good. He has completed 54 percent of his passes with nine touchdowns and five interceptions. Unfortunately for Eason, his offensive line has done a poor job of protecting him. In addition, his wide receivers have struggled to get open.

Those are going to be big problems this weekend. Eason has to face the Florida Gators in Jacksonville. This will be Eason’s toughest test to date. The Gators will undoubtedly stack the box to stop Nick Chubb and Sony Michel.

That leaves Jacob Eason and his receivers with normally favorable matchups on the outside. However, when you play against Florida, there isn’t any such thing as a favorable matchup. Jalen Tabor and Quincy Wilson are both capable of locking down any of Georgia receiver one-on-one.

In other words, this one could get real ugly for the Dawgs. For the sake of my late grandfather I hope they find a way to pull it out. But it doesn’t look good.
