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

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…

FLORIDA: Showed up ready for a fight. Just couldn’t hold on defensively. Lost 1 on 1’s in coverage. Needed to win more up front. Protection adjustments gave them problems. Plan early looked like it was going to get home. Lost RBs in coverage. The rush HAD to be ultra disciplined…

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.…

MISSISSIPPI STATE: Tough spot for a young QB. Pre snap flags didn’t help. Slide protection gave up pressures. Really struggled to pass games off. 23 added a spark. Tried 5 & 1 early but couldn’t consistently find them. Could not unpopulate the box through the air. Turnovers…

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…
