Games To Watch: Week 4
The most famous came in the mid-1990s when, referencing the fact that the SEC runner-up played in the Citrus Bowl, Spurrier said: “You can’t spell Citrus without a “T” and a ‘U'”.
The Florida Gators’ defense had never been better than last Saturday night, but the good feelings were fleeting. Georgia and Ole Miss’s defense are playmakers, but they can’t seem to slow down an offense they play against so it could turn into a high scoring game. “I just think it’s a lot of fun”.
Tennessee fans booed at the end of the first half of the Volunteers’ SEC East showdown with Florida at Neyland Stadium on Saturday, and with good reason.
Meanwhile, Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen will try to win a not-so-friendly game of tag with defensive end Myles Garrett, who eats quarterbacks for lunch as evidenced by his 13 sacks a year ago. “They play really smart”, Kelly said.
“They make you earn everything that you get”, Jones said.
The fun and flair are back in the rivalry with the Gators providing a steady stream of talk in response to Tennessee’s crowning as the offseason division champion.
Tennessee will play Florida in Rocky Top where the Vols are now undefeated, but the Florida Gators are not expected to flinch, even on the road. Is this the year that UT finally breaks the streak?
Florida entered the day the SEC’s leading run defense, but was gashed for 254 yards – 136 by 6-foot-3, 210-pound quarterback Joshua Dobbs and 102 by 6-foot-4, 240-pound tailback Jalen Hurd. Ole Miss on the other hand will be looking to bounce back after having effectively been eliminated from Playoff contention.
OXFORD, Miss. – Georgia first-year Coach Kirby Smart gets a second crack at trying to slow down MS quarterback Chad Kelly.
Texas A&M is quietly off to a great start in 2016, with an overtime win over UCLA at home and a workman-like 29-16 victory at Auburn. At the very least, revise the policy on your website to a more accurate and honest assessment of how loyalty points and seating assignments actually work, because it is blatantly false and couldn’t be much further from the truth. A loss here with Georgia still looming changes that equation substantially for one of these two teams, and even the built-in excuse of missing QB Luke Del Rio won’t help Florida if the Gators come up short.
Last week, Eason only had one typical freshman mistake – his interception – but I think the Ole Miss pass defense could force him into one too many. Though watch out, this is a flawless time for ‘Bama to slip up… Now they will face much tougher competition with the Gators in town.
LSU dominated Mississippi State for three-plus quarters before allowing the Bulldogs to make things interesting late. Both have new quarterbacks, experienced running backs, and good defense. Though Vandy might have a harder time.
