The SEC came crashing back to reality in Week 2 as several teams, including Arkansas, Auburn, Florida and Missouri, found themselves struggling against the likes of Toledo, Jacksonville State, East Carolina and Arkansas State.

The futility made for some interesting scenarios throughout the conference, where some of its players and coaches, didn’t exactly represent the best and brightest of the SEC.

Here’s a look at some of the worst moments from the SEC in Week 2:

5. A shank of a punt.

Jeremy Johnson and (then) No. 6 Auburn can thank Jacksonville State punter Hamish MacInnes for keeping them off this list.

The Gamecocks took over on their 13-yard line with 3:06 to play leading 20-13, courtesy of a Roc Thomas fumble. From there, it was just a matter of running out the clock and collecting the accolades that come from being just the fourth FCS team to beat a ranked FBS squad.

But the drive stalled mightily, gaining a mere yard, and Jacksonville State was forced to punt 1:05 later. A deep kick backs Auburn up and makes them have to travel farther with two minutes left. Instead, MacInnes’ punt traveled 17 yards and set up Johnson on the Jacksonville State 31-yard line to punch in the game-tying score with 39 second left.

The senior MacInnes boomed a 42-yard punt earlier in the game. His second punt, however, doomed the Gamecocks.

You won’t find the punt in these video highlights, but it’s worth listening to the Jacksonville State announcer call the action.

4. Butch Jones vs. Derek Dooley.

Here’s a name that Tennessee fans didn’t want to ever hear again: Derek Dooley. The former coach is often considered the guy who steered the Volunteer program into the rocks, leading to the hiring of Butch Jones. Jones has had success at Tennessee, particularly on the recruiting trail, but that hasn’t always translated to wins.

After the Vols’ worst home collapse (17 points) in the program’s history, a 31-24 loss to Oklahoma in a game they should have won, Jones is now 13-14 at Tennessee. That’s the same record held by Dooley through his first 27 games in Knoxville.

Dooley finished that 2012 season by going 2-7 and wound up on the unemployment line. Will Jones suffer the same fate? Time will tell, but if he continues his conservative play-calling, the shouting from Tennessee fans will only get louder.

Oklahoma didn’t behave like angels, either. Eric Striker ran his mouth all week questioning the SEC’s legitimacy in the face of national critics. After Oklahoma pulled out the win over Tennessee, Strike didn’t call off his sideshow antics, unleashing a NSFW tirade directed toward anyone who would listen in Neyland Stadium.

3. A tirade for the ages.

Jim McElwain’s sideline tirade on running back Kelvin Taylor is a must-watch, if witnessing people’s heads explode is your thing.

It’s curiously entertaining to watch, unless you’re Taylor who takes a full, flailing barrage from Florida head coach.

While fun and/or scary, it bears mentioning that McElwain was likely justified for losing his cool on the sophomore running back. Taylor was flagged for a personal foul after making a throat-slashing gesture to East Carolina during the Gators’ 31-24 win over the Pirates in Week 2.

It’s 2015. Didn’t we eliminate the “throat-slashing” gesture from football years ago? Taylor got the message, tweeting after the game his appreciation for the loud, sideline diatribe.

2. Targeting leads to shorthanded defense.

We might as well travel back to Auburn, if we’re compiling the worst of the week. The Tigers have the dubious distinction of having the first player in the SEC this season ejected from a game for targeting. Congrats, Blake Countess.

The Michigan transfer was tossed from Auburn’s Week 2 game against Jacksonville State for targeting Gamecock quarterback Eli Jenkins. Perhaps Countess, who was trying to keep the defense strong without injured starters Carl Lawson and Tray Matthews, was frustrated as Jenkins picked the Tigers apart with 277 yards in the air and a touchdown, as well as another 30 rushing yards on the ground.

Perhaps he didn’t deserve the call. You be the judge. Either way, the NCAA is cracking down on targeting. Expect Countess to be made an example of what not to do.

1. Holy Toledo $&^%!

Bret Bielema ran his mouth and then couldn’t back it up. The Arkansas coach bemoaned Ohio State last week, calling out what he believed was the Buckeyes’ weak out-of-conference schedule, which includes Hawaii, Northern Illinois and Western Michigan.

“Ohio State has one game remaining with a ranked opponent,” Bielema said at the time. “We have eight remaining against teams that are ranked.”

Bielema followed up those remarks on Sept. 9 by watching his No. 18 team lose 16-12 to Toledo. Repeat that with me: To…lee…do.

The Razorbacks looked as if they couldn’t be touched by anyone after their dominating Texas-El Paso, 48-13, in Week 1. But passing woes and the disappearance of the run game ultimately cost Arkansas against the Rockets and leaves us wondering which Razorback team will show up in Week 3 against Texas Tech.

You just can’t lose to a MAC school and be taken seriously. All the preseason hype surrounding Bielema’s squad is thrown out the window.
