Hard to identify “the game” in this conference as they seem to have several each and every week. But I’ll try…
Alabama hosts Arkansas. Bama is 3-0 & the nations’ second ranked team while the Razorbacks are also 3-0 & ranked 12th in the Coaches Poll. Great defense & a heavy dose of Trent Richardson and Eddie Lacy allow the Tide to Roll @ home…
# 3 Ranked LSU Tigers @ the # 16 ranked West Virginia Mountaineers. Last year the 20-14 game was decided by a punt return. This is LSU’s first trip ever to Morgantown. While no one would mistake the LSU staff for rocket scientists… They most often find a way to win… it is called talent… specifically defensive talent….While Morgantown will be rocking early…. not so much late… However; LSU must start this night time affair ready to play or….! Yet if I were you, I’d look for an emotional & hard fought win for the Tigers…
And finally: ain’t it great to see the” intellectuals” of the SEC… Vanderbilt… @ 3-0!! They go to South Carolina this week and will meet (if they get close enough to tackle him) the nations leading rusher, Marcus Lattimore. While a lot of us are pulling for James Franklin, Vandy’s new head coach and don’t forget that the Commodores have won twice vs USC in the past four years… in 07 @ Carolina 17-6 & again in 08 @ home 24-17! Even though SC has won the past 2 years, the Commodores clearly have the “Old Ball Coaches” full attention … especially given the Gamecocks close call, 24-21, with Navy last week. Sorry James…Carolina BIG….
