Cole Cubelic’s SEC takeaways are a social media staple.
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 4 featured another Saturday with 14 SEC teams in action.
Here’s what Cubelic had to say:
ARKANSAS: Faced tough boxes in run game. Like how they didn’t bail on it. QB run was huge, designed & leaving pocket. RBs got better getting downhill as game went on. Missed space early. Really nice game for 2. Tackles struggled in pass pro. QB must protect the ball. Too much…

FLORIDA: Handled their business. OL set the tone early. Got a tad sloppy late but game was in hand. 2 just has such a good feel for the scheme. Married plays together well. 1 is a problem for opposing defenses, catch of the year already?!? QB deliberate & made good decisions. 8…

KENTUCKY: Got a conference W. QB good in quick game. Gotta let deep balls go. Can’t force it when feeling pressure. Had some leakage in gap scheme runs. Combos on zone plays have to improve, takes time. WRs have to clean up drops. Backs made great cuts. Saw plays develop. Need to…

MISSISSIPPI STATE: Showed some serious grit. Tough loss. Played hard. Great to see Rogers get to pitch it around more. Plan was solid. Couldn’t get the stretch play going. Couple tough breaks. Offense still lacked balance. Not the best night for the OL. Tulu just needs to be…

OLE MISS: Tough one. Defense tackled better than they have in this game in a while. 23 slithered to make plays. 13 was flying around. 51 was disruptive. 4 on def showed why they are excited about him. Good to see 86 out there, gonna be a big help. Gotta get 4 more touches.…

TENNESSEE: Handled their business. QB set the tone on the 1st play on how they will be played. Joe has command of the offense. He is taking what’s there & forcing the defenses hand. Had a few balls sail but I’m just not as concerned as some other folks are. They are a missed…

VANDERBILT: Showed fight. Liked the plan on defense. Active up front. A bit high risk & missed some fits. The overhang defenders impacted the run game. 15 & 5 played well ip front. Can’t give opponent points while on offense. QB can make plays but still has 3-5 a game where the…
