Here’s what we’re not overreacting to in the SEC after Week 3:

Greyson Lambert’s near perfect outing vs. Gamecocks

Remember those questions concerning Georgia’s quarterback play at Vanderbilt? First-year offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer appeared to take it personal in the days leading up to the South Carolina game and set out to prove a point against the Gamecocks, resulting in the Bulldogs’ 52-20 thumping. Schotty nixed the popular belief that his offense was one dimensional on Georgia’s first possession, throwing the football on four of the Bulldogs’ first five snaps. Lambert finished a record-setting 24-of-25 for 330 yards and three touchdowns, his only incompletion coming inside the red zone in the first quarter. Lambert completed his final 20 passes, breaking the previous school record of 19 straight set by Mike Bobo in the 1998 Outback Bowl. Georgia sprinkled in a variety of short to intermediate throws and Lambert completed several passes in the second level. South Carolina’s defense is obviously one of the SEC’s worst and Lambert won’t likely duplicate Saturday’s outing, but improvement was shown which is a great sign for a team with College Football Playoff aspirations.

Mizzou’s lackluster start offensively

It’s obvious the Tigers have a multitude of issues to fix on offense and the primary problem has been Mizzou’s lack of an effective rushing attack without Russell Hansbrough. When offensive production falls directly on Maty Mauk’s shoulders, this team struggles. Balance is a necessity. Saturday’s game against UConn was a microcosm of September’s headaches offensively. Mauk’s year-long quarterback rating for his sophomore campaign was 57.4 (average), but he has suffered a lower rating in all three of this season’s starts and hasn’t appeared comfortable from the pocket. There is a silver lining however during Mizzou’s unimpressive 3-0 start. The Tigers remain Eastern Division title contenders and here’s why: Look at the results on defense. Linebacker Kentrell Brothers leads college football in tackles, Charles Harris leads the SEC in tackles-for-loss and the tigers are giving up just 3.3 yards per play (second in the nation behind Boston College). Mizzou’s last two trips to Atlanta have been orchestrated by dominant defenses and it appears the Tigers will once again lean on that side of the football.
