Upset Week? Tough Tasks Face SEC Teams
This is the week of the upset. The first game jitters are gone and teams are looking to the future with high hopes–or no hopes. Trap games, tough non-conference games, and surprise teams await the SEC this week, and there will be some changes in the hierarchy of the conference.
Alabama at Vanderbilt
Alabama will go down this week. Earl Bennett is a truly phenemonal receiver and he will light the Tide up in Nashville. Bama will keep it close, but too much Bennett, VU 21-17.
South Carolina at Georgia
One of the most important games of the season for both of these teams. A MUST win for South Carolina considering the way their schedule shakes out later in the season, and their urgency shows as they go down to Athens and slip past the Bulldogs, 20-13.
Missouri at Mississippi
The Rebels had a good win on the road last week and they face a tough task at home facing Missouri and QB Chase Daniel. Ole Miss gets blasted, Mizzou 35-14.
Troy at Florida
Troy follows up their game in Fayateville with a game in Gainesville. Not an easy way to start, and it doesn’t result in anything close to a victory, UF 61-21.
Kent State at Kentucky
A potential trap game for an upstart Kentucky program looking ahead to their showdown with Louisville. Kent State won last week in Ames over Iowa State, but the Cats have too much offense, UK 45-30.
Mississippi State at Tulane
Wow. I really don’t have much to say here. Croom won’t start saving his job now, though, Tulane 20-6.
Southern Miss at Tennessee
Southern Miss will bear the brunt of the Cal loss, as the angry Vols smash the Golden Eagles in Knoxville, UT 50-7.
South Florida at Auburn
There has been a lot said about this game in the offseason, perhaps too much to garner an upset. I don’t think the Bulls are sneaking up on Auburn here, and the Tiger defense will shut down USF, AU 14-6.
Virginia Tech at LSU
The game of the week, no doubt. LSU makes a statement with Matt Flynn and the offense, LSU 30-14.
