We’re beginning to meet that portion of the schedule where teams must bring it each week and anything can happen.
There are some huge conference games for the SEC in Week 11, and SDS is going to break down who’s savoring the spotlight.
SEC East
Florida at Vanderbilt: The Florida Gators, fresh off a potentially season-changing win over Georgia, head to Nashville to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores. These two teams hope to have found their futures at quarterback, with the ‘Dores Johnny McCrary and Florida’s Treon Harris having injected some life into these offenses.
Georgia at Kentucky: After a 5-1 start, Kentucky has sputtered in recent weeks and returns home looking for a win against Georgia. The Bulldogs’ defense looks to bounce back this week after being gashed by Florida last week, but JoJo Kemp and Braylon Heard present a challenge for Jeremy Pruitt’s defense.
SEC West
Texas A&M at Auburn: It’s a high-powered affair on the Plains with Kevin Sumlin and Texas A&M coming calling. Auburn has hit its stride and faces a vulnerable Aggies defense. Nick Marshall, Cameron Artis-Payne and company should have a big day against the A&M defensive front.
Alabama at LSU: Nick Saban’s team hits the road, where it’s been a different team. The Bayou Bengals are surging and look to throw a wrench in the SEC West and College Football Playoff picture. Can the Mad Hatter pull out any tricks Saturday night in Death Valley?
