There are a couple intriguing afternoon matchups in the SEC during Week 5, but ESPN analyst Tim Tebow has the night games in the conference this Saturday on his mind. When previewing this Saturday’s SEC games, all three of his biggest storylines came from the Kentucky-South Carolina and Mississippi State-Auburn matchups.
Specifically, Tebow said he wants to see whether the Wildcats or Gamecocks will bounce back in their showdown. Kentucky has lost its last two games against Florida and Mississippi State without starting quarterback Terry Wilson while South Carolina is off to a 1-3 start. The Gamecocks have lost to Alabama and Missouri in conference play and against North Carolina in the season opener.
One thing’s for certain in that matchup, the loser will likely face a lot of public scrutiny next week.
In the other SEC night game, Mississippi State will visit Auburn. Tebow is watching for how Tigers quarterback Bo Nix responds to his home crowd after playing so well in his first conference game on the road last Saturday. As for the Bulldogs, Tebow is just wondering who will be behind center.
Here’s Tebow’s full breakdown of what he considers the biggest SEC storylines heading into Week 5:
