Cole Cubelic, an ESPN Analyst, is back with his weekly SEC takeaways after a 12-4 week for the conference.
Cubelic took to social media to provide some takeaways for all 16 SEC teams. The week was highlighted by out of conference wins by Texas and Tennessee, but also suffered some pitfalls such as Arkansas falling to Oklahoma State and Mississippi State falling to Arizona State.
Arkansas, Mississippi State and Kentucky received the brunt of Cubelic’s disdain this weekend, but he had some thoughts about Alabama too, specifically regarding “ugly” O-line play. South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas each earned praise from the SEC analyst.
Take a look at Cubelic’s full takeaways:
ARKANSAS: Had it. Fought rear ends off. Have to feel good about effort. QB made big plays. 22 was rippin. Love how he gets downhill. Rush lanes seemed to be hit or miss. C played well. 2 was massive. 9 does a whole lot. Got sloppy late. Drops, fumbles, flags. Clock management…

FLORIDA: Handled their business. 2 looked really good. The poise stuck out. Comfy off play action. Big time ability to drive the ball. 456 the most pass yds by a Gator Fr. 6 will continue to emerge. 3 gave them explosives. Love 13 but gotta protect the ball. Def handled a very…

KENTUCKY: Ugly loss. Had the inside run going. Felt like they kept getting away from it. QB hesitant reads in run game. TEs blocked well at times. 85 some, 84 good. Needed some catch & run & couldn’t get it. Could make anyone miss on perimeter. 2 did some nice things at QB. More…

MISSISSIPPI STATE: Disappointing loss. Couldn’t stop the run. Made life easy on the OC & QB. DL out of sorts & pushed around a little. Credit the fight. Offensive rythm seemed up & down. Found a few explosive plays. QB has to protect the ball. 3 made some plays on off. Good to…

OKLAHOMA: Take the W & move on. Defense great for the most part. DL didn’t win as many 1 on 1’s as last week. Thought they were less aggressive up front. 28 is a damn animal. You just can’t fool him. 15 is fun to watch. Can’t have vets/leaders getting flags like that let. Just…

SOUTH CAROLINA: Hell of a win. We’re the more physical team. Defense was humming. 4 on a mission, blowing up screens, blitzing, in backfield. 90 cashing down plays from backside, tracking screens, disrupting inside. 99 is a problem inside. 6 is just not a normal Fr. Can bend,…

TEXAS: Massive win on the road. Brought the fight. Matched the physicality & then some. OL great day. RBs patient & stayed within scheme, made really good cuts. Plan was excellent. Widen them out, make them run then get north/south. Quick game early opened it up. QB made some…

VANDERBILT: Handled their business! Efficient day for the offense. Don’t risk much through the air. Don’t have to. 2 runs the show. Makes it go. Worked reads & fakes well knowing it was a bit one dimensional. 28 solid again. 80 can be a playmaker for them. Def dominant. Good…
