Cole Cubelic releases post-Week 6 takeaways for each SEC squad

As he does every week, SEC Analyst Cole Cubelic released his post-Week 6 takeaways on the SEC teams that were in action Saturday.
It was a rollercoaster of a week in the SEC. Alabama, Tennessee and Mizzou – 3 teams within the top 10 of the AP poll – fell to “inferior” opponents. The Tide lost to Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tennessee fell to Arkansas in Fayetteville and Mizzou lost to Texas A&M in College Station. Do I need to point to the sign?
Playing on the road in SEC play is never, ever going to be easy. Throw all pre-conceived notions out the window.
Cubelic loved what he saw from the Aggies, Commodores and Razorbacks, giving some extra love to Vanderbilt for a “program-changing” type of win.
Cubelic was also delighted with Florida for taking care of business against a solid UCF team. The Gators are now 3-2 on the season with the toughest stretch of their schedule ahead of them. Can they make some magic against the reeling Vols this coming weekend?
Here are the remainder of Cubelic’s takeaways. You may need to expand the post(s) to view his full comments:
ARKANSAS: Huge win. Loved what they had dialed on off. Wham, belly, toss lead, toss crack, etc. They embraced the hog for sure. RBs good out of back field. QB kept plays alive. Made a few really nice throws. Couple hole shots that hit. Good touch. Used middle of field well. 22…

MISSOURI: Rough one. Couldn’t get the stretch going on offense to build off. QB couldn’t get settled. Left pocket early. Missed a few plays down the field. Had ball in space some & could not make them miss enough. Couldn’t convert. 254 yards won’t cut it. OL struggled. Way too…

SOUTH CAROLINA: QB kept them in it. Nice job dialing up the east-west movement to steal eyes. Needed a few more shots off of it. He worked mesh well. He’s got the tools. Needs a little more help. OL missed some games. 6 is a major key to their success. Found some space vs zone.…

TEXAS A&M: Big time performance. The plan on defense was spectacular. Blitzes had free run to backfield time after time. Couple 1 on 1 losses on top of that. 11 spiked the stretch play early & that seemed to be it. He is a game wrecker. 5 active again. 4 solid. 56 looked great…

VANDERBILT: Historic program changing win. QB played his fanny off. He’s a wizard. Manipulates the read game so well. Made great decisions & when he had to ad lib he got it done. 28 ran hard. 23 was big in the east west run game. 44 solid blocking. 9 a legit playmaker. Matchup…
