Part Two: The SEC East

 

Florida (5-1, 3-1)

 

The Good: The LSU Game

 

Florida simply destroyed LSU. Tebow, Harvin, and company looked like a National Championship contender this past Saturday at the Swamp. If this team shows up week after week, Florida will be tough to stop.

 

 

 

The Bad: Tim Tebow when he cries

 

It’s time it was said. Tebow needs stop the crying after a loss. I understand that he wants to win. I understand that he is a competitor. But Superman does not cry. For me this is just further proof that Knowshon Moreno is really Superman.

 

 

 

The Ugly: Part One—The Ole Miss game

 

Losing to an unranked Ole Miss team at home is enough to make you...well, it’s enough to make you cry (see above).

 

 

 

The Ugly: Part TwoThe Urban Meyer scowl

 

Is it just me or has Urban developed a Steve Spurrier scowl? It’s a game, Urban. Lighten up.

 

 

 

Vanderbilt (5-1, 3-1)

 

The Good: Starting 5-0

 

Wins over South Carolina, and Auburn highlighted a 5-0 start that had Vandy fans dancing in Nashville. Rumor has it that Bobby Johnson could run for Mayor.

 

 

 

The Bad: Vanderbilt Defense

 

The Commodores defense ranks near the bottom of the SEC. Georgia will challenge the Vandy D this weekend. If they are to continue their improbable run, they must get better...fast.

 

 

 

The Ugly: Loss to Mississippi State

 

You would never think that the phrase “Vandy looking ahead” would be used in a football sentence.  But it could be that Vandy was looking ahead to its date with the other Bulldogs this week. The loss to Mississippi State was unfortunate for the Nashville faithful.

 

 

 

Georgia (5-1, 2-1)

 

The Good: Stafford and Moreno

 

Georgia has been led this year by Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno. Both are having great seasons and are at or near the top of most offensive categories in the SEC. UGA’s continued success depends on those great seasons continuing.

 

 

 

The Bad: The Pass Defense

 

Blame it on the lack of a pass rush from the front four. Blame it on bad decisions by the defensive backs. This unit has not lived up to potential. The rush defense has been solid for the most part. The pass defense has got to improve.

 

 

 

The Ugly: The Alabama game

 

No shocker here! Georgia played as badly as they could have in the first half of the Bama game. Georgia appeared to be completely out-manned. Give Bama credit, they came to play and put the Dawgs down. I hope I never see that UGA team again.
