Week 4 of SEC action is shaping up to be a big one, with three matchups of ranked SEC opponents.
In an East-West matchup, No. 12 Georgia will travel to Oxford to take on No. 23 Ole Miss.
In an SEC East showdown, No. 19 Florida will travel to Knoxville to try to make it 12 straight wins against No. 14 Tennessee.
In the SEC West, No. 10 Texas A&M will host No. 17 Arkansas in what is sure to be a tight battle.
On College GameDay, ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit talked about those two games and more. He also took a shot at one of Auburn’s three quarterbacks.
Here’s what the popular commentator had to say on Saturday’s show:
On Florida-Tennessee:
- “Florida’s coming in here with swagger. 11 straight [wins], talking trash all week. They know they can win this game — Tennessee hopes they can win this game.”
- “I really wonder about that Tennessee offensive line. They’ve struggled in these first three games.”
On Georgia-Ole Miss:
- “Make [Jacob Eason] read that zone coverage to find the open receiver.”
- “[Ole Miss defensive coordinator] Dave Wommack knows he has to stop the running game today.”
- “[Georgia] is a team that had better be ready to defend the vertical passing game. Chad Kelly’s been doing as good a job of anybody of passing the ball.”
- “[Ole Miss DE Marquis Haynes] is one of the more athletic edge rushers in the SEC.”
- “[Ole Miss TE Evan Engram is] as good a tight end as there is in the country. He’s a mismatch no matter who you put up against him.”
On Arkansas-Texas A&M:
- “I think Austin Allen’s play-action pass will be big in this game, especially on early downs.”
On Auburn QB John Franklin III:
- “Did you watch Last Chance U? I don’t want that guy quarterbacking my team.”
