The busy SEC Network analyst finds time every Sunday to share his thoughts on how all the conference teams performed in their Saturday games.

Week 11 once again had all 14 SEC teams in action, with the SEC division races coming to an end.
Here’s what Cubelic had to say about every team:
ARKANSAS: Rough one. Did not expect to see that effort on defense. DL got moved. Lost contain often. Missed tackles. 28 & 27 still playing hard. 11 was nice! Let movement take them out of position often. Couldn’t protect the QB. Lack of WR separation really showed up. Very…

KENTUCKY: Game needed to go a certain direction & it took a sharp turn early. 0 was great on def. Pass rush got a bit off track, had to stay disciplined. Scramble drill a problem. Let eyes pull them out of plays. Pad level hit high late & got jumpy, took themselves out of gaps.…

TENNESSEE: Rough day for the LBs. Pre & post snap lateral movement made them wrong. Really surprised how much tempo affected them. Not set often. Contain/edge was an issue. Coverage out of the backfield struggled. 10 good inside but that got moved some. Lot of throws didn’t allow…

VANDERBILT: Liked the pressure packages going after slide pro. 10 showed up as usual. 91, 95 & 99 give them great effort & toughness inside. Struggled in coverage, gave up too much over the top. Missed tackles. Turnovers hurt. 22 flashed. Missed some twists up front. QB missed…
