We do it each week, MY Sunday SEC takeaways…
ALABAMA:
Handled their business.
Milroe did some nice things. SERIOUS juice as a ball carrier. Missed a few checks. RBs need to improve in protection. Liked the TE group. Niblack could have big year. Liked the plan esp designed Q…— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) September 3, 2023
AUBURN: Handled their business. Offense just seemed to have a good feel for the plan overall considering all the new. OL much better. Got quality snaps for multiple bodies as well. OL/RB had good feel for run scheme. QBs played well. 1 missed a few throws, a read or two but…

VANDERBILT: Handled their business. Big day on the ground. Plan did a nice job of splitting the defense. Still have breakdowns with overloads. I love how 4 & 13 runs the ball. Added some ways to protect QB. Swann had a good day but still gets a tad risky at times. The weapons…
