Game of the Week in the SEC

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….
