Less of Les would be nice.
Auburn (4-2, 2-2)
The Good: This defense can play with anyone in the league.
Tuberville has a very talented defense. Allowing only 11.2 points per game this is a defense that can keep you in any game.
The Bad: Quarterback play.
Auburn QB's are 11th in passing efficiency and 10th in overall passing offense. If Chris Todd is the man and the spread is the answer, don't look for much improvement.
The Ugly: Did someone mention the spread?
The Tony Franklin spread offense?
Best seller you say?
By now I am sure Auburn fans miss the old "smash mouth" football the Tigers use to play. Not to worry, I hear "The Spread Offense for Dummies" is in stock at most major bookstores.
Ole Miss (3-3, 1-2)
The Good: The Rebels went to the swamp and toppled the mighty Gators, 31-30.
A great win for first year Coach Houston Nutt. The Rebels celebrated an impressive win.
Tim Tebow cried.
The Bad: How about following a great win with a loss at home to the Gamecocks?
I think Houston Nutt may have cried after this one.
The roller coaster ride is now open. Rebel fans can ride for free.
The Ugly: Pass Defense.
Opponents are completing 66.5% of their passes against the Ole Miss defense. That number puts them dead last in the SEC in pass defense.
So tell me again how Florida explains how they lost to the Rebels.
Arkansas (2-3, 0-2)
The Good: Michael Smith and Casey Dick.
Both are putting up good numbers, giving Petrino and his offense a chance to put up some points. Despite the good effort, the Razorbacks are only averaging 17 points a game.
The Bad: Alabama pounded Arkansas at home, 49-14.
Did Georgia miss the game film from this one?
It couldn't get much worse could it?
The Ugly: Yes it can. Welcome to Texas Razorback fans.
Bobby and the boys got Long-horned, 52-10 in their historic rematch.
As a Falcon fan from Atlanta I say it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Mississippi State (1-4, 0-2)
The Good: Pass Defense.
The Bulldogs are 3rd in the SEC in pass defense. They are only giving up 153 yards per game. Opponents have only completed 46% of their passes.
The Bad: Losses at Georgia Tech (38-7) and at LSU (34-24).
State fans have not had much to cheer about this season. But at least the Bulldogs scored a TD or two.
The Ugly: The loss at Auburn.
Yes, the score really was 3-2. It was like watching a slow torture death. It was brutal! Both teams had so many chances to win.
A tie would have been appropriate.
So that takes care of the West. Digest it slowly, don't take in too much at once.
Yes we are the SEC, the best conference in all the land. Just ask any of us and we will let you know.
Sometimes we just need a reminder that even our beloved teams do have a flaw or two.
Check back next week for part 2, The East!!
We're going to send you the most entertaining Georgia Bulldogs Football articles, videos, and podcasts from around the web.
