Things don’t always go as planned.

Through two weeks of SEC action, some things – whether they be players, units or strategies – have not lived up to expectations.

It’s a long season, and there’s plenty of time for everyone to get back on track, but here are the eight biggest busts in the SEC through Week 2:

1. LSU QB Brandon Harris

What was expected: With a whole offseason to work on getting better, Harris, who started all 12 games in 2015, was expected to lead an improved passing game.

What has happened: While Les Miles hasn’t made an official call, all signs point to Danny Etling getting the next start after he replaced a benched Harris against Jacksonville State. Harris is 13-for-25 for 139 yards with 1 TD and 2 INTs.

2. Kentucky’s defense

What was expected: Defense wasn’t necessarily going to be Kentucky’s strength in 2016, but with a defensive-minded head coach, one expects a fundamentally sound unit.

What has happened: The Wildcats had a 35-10 lead on Southern Miss in the season opener. Then the defense gave up 34 unanswered points to the Golden Eagles and then allowed Florida to notch a 45-0 lead.That’s 79 consecutive points allowed before the Wildcats ended the misery with a late TD. No wonder UK is at or near the bottom of the conference in all major defensive categories.

3. The Kurt Roper offense at South Carolina

What was expected: When Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp announced that he was reuniting with Roper as his offensive coordinator, he went on an offseason media tour pushing the narrative that not hiring Roper soon enough doomed him at Florida. That suggested South Carolina would field a productive offense.

What has happened: USC is last in the SEC in total offense (275.5 yards per game), scoring offense (13.5 points per game) and rushing offense (77.5 yards per game). At least the passing offense checks in at No. 8 (198 yards per game). To be fair, Roper has not had the chance to recruit to his scheme, though Brandon McIlwain is the ideal dual-threat for his system.

4. Auburn’s three-headed monster at quarterback

What was expected: No one really knew for sure what to expect besides Sean White would take the first snap. But most people trust Gus Malzahn with offense.

What has happened: Malzahn was criticized for constantly changing quarterbacks against Clemson. A lack of offensive rhythm caused by the repeated rotation is widely seen as a reason for AU’s 19-13 loss to the ACC power. Malzahn has since adjusted, focusing more on White and John Franklin III. White responded with 244 yards passing and 3 TD tosses against Arkansas State. The true test comes Saturday against Texas A&M.

5. Alabama RB Bo Scarbrough

What was expected: It probably wasn’t fair, but with Scarbrough’s 6-foot-2, 230-pound frame it was virtually impossible to avoid comparisons to Derrick Henry. It didn’t hurt that the reports out of fall camp on Scarbrough were all positive.

What has happened: So far, Scarbrough has only 16 total carries for 55 yards. Meanwhile, Damien Harris has 20 carries for 183 yards.

6. Vanderbilt QB Kyle Shurmur

What was expected: Commodores coach Derek Mason talked up Shurmur before SEC Media Days. In the offseason, he suggested that the team’s confidence in Shurmur gave VU an advantage over other SEC East teams that faced questions at the position.

What has happened: Shurmur got pulled in Vanderbilt’s opening loss to South Carolina. He’s 23-of-50 so far for 186 yards and one touchdown.

7. Tennessee QB Joshua Dobbs’ passing

What was expected: With a whole offseason to work on the biggest issue of his game, Dobbs was assumed to have improved as a passer.

What has happened: While Dobbs’ three touchdown passes against Virginia Tech look nice in the box score, overall he’s 26-of-48 (54.2 completion percentage) for 283 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions. His average passing yards per game (141.5) is No. 10 among SEC quarterbacks.

8. Ole Miss’ defense

What was expected: Ole Miss’ front seven was ranked No. 3 in the SEC by ESPN before the season.

What has happened: The Rebels were unable to stop FSU as the Seminoles rallied from a 28-13 deficit to win 45-34 in Orlando. In Week 2, FCS opponent Wofford managed to get 4.1 yards per carry (57 rushes, 233 yards). Ole Miss currently ranks No. 10 in the SEC in rushing yards allowed, averaging 197 yards per game.
