What I Saw in the SEC: Week 6

Still the Most Entertaining Conference... Sorry, Pac-10

Alabama @ South Carolina

South Carolina and Spurrier went out there and outplayed the #1 team in the country. I sure as hell didn't see it coming, but I give kudos to USC. Stephen Garcia played like the highly touted prospect he once was as he hit Alshon Jeffery for two touchdowns. McElroy did his best to keep that precious not losing since 8th grade thing up but it was all for naught. Kirkpatrick was manhandled on the edge against Jeffery. Alshon actually called the win earlier on in the week and backed up his talk with a hell of a performance against a vaunted Bama defense. 35 damn points, baby. Stephen Garcia for Heisman? no.

Player of the Game: Alshon Jeffery
7 receptions
127 yards
2 touchdowns

Auburn @ Kentucky

Randall Cobb is extremely good. He is also really good as the kick holder. This was my first chance to see the spooky blue eyed Cobb play live, and I loved what I saw. Kentucky was one solid defensive lineman away from winning that game against the undefeated Auburn Tigers. Cam Newton dominated through out and even had a few great passes to go along with a great rushing performance for the Dinosaur. Zac Etheridge, despite his penalties, made a few great plays as he continues to hold down that experienced secondary. Cam Newton had a Heisman-type drive to finish off the game as the Tigers improve to 6-0

Player of the Game: Cam Newton
198 yards Rushing, 210 passing
4 Touchdowns (rushing)

LSU @ Florida

God loves Les Miles. God loves the Cajun culture. God loves Les Miles. LSU was the better team out there but Meyer and his young team continously fought back and even took the lead with around a minute left. Then the fake field goal that bedazzled me. A football can only bounce a million different ways, but on this occasion, the ball bounced right to the place kicker who ran for a first down. A few plays later, Terrance Toliver caught the game winnning touchdown. A distrubing loss for Florida fans, but an exuberant win for Tiger fans. Les Miles stays off the chopping block once again this week. Jarrett Lee is a pretty damn good passer, but I still appriciate Jordan Jefferson and the plays he makes on the ground and in the air. Mostly on the ground though.

Player of the Game: Josh Jasper (Sr.)
Reason: Pure Domination in the special teams category.
Honorable mention goes to Terrance Toliver too who caught 6 balls (2 TD's) for 111 yards

Tennessee @ Georgia

Aaron Murray is a very good quarterback, but Matt Simms is not. The Vols actually scored as many points as they did last week against LSU, but did not hold Georgia to anywhere close that margin. Aaron Murray likes having A.J. Green back in the line up. Green caught the ball six times and proved he is still the best wide reciever in college football even AFTER his four week vacation. I see Georgia finally making a comeback in the SEC East even with that 1-3 conference record. Murray is growing up right in front of our eyes.

Player of the Game:
Aaron Murray
4 Touchdowns (2 passing, 2 rushing)
266 yards passing, 41 yards rushing
