Struggling to survive

11. Ole Miss
10. South Carolina
9. Missouri

Ole Miss quite possibly has four NFL first round caliber play-makers on offense. However with an inconsistent quarterback and a defense that resembles Swiss cheese, it’s easy to see why the Rebels have not broken through just yet. With a couple of light games before hosting Auburn, hopefully Ole Miss can fix their problems before the rest of their SEC football schedule hits them hard.

South Carolina has some deadly weapons, but without a good quarterback to get them the ball, it does not matter. Having already lost two SEC East games, the Gamecocks have fallen behind. They need a big win on Saturday when they take on Missouri at home.

Missouri is led by possible first round pick Drew Lock, and they have shown an ability to put up points.  However, giving up nearly 400 yards per game and 27 points per game, the offense just has too much stress on it. They must get a better pass rush (six sacks through four games) to create more havoc on opposing offenses.
