Cole Cubelic’s SEC takeaways are a Sunday staple on social media.
For the last time in 2022, Cubelic took to Twitter to share his assessment of how all the SEC football teams looked in their weekend games.
The 2022 regular season wrapped up with Rivalry Week. There were 5 games of SEC teams playing conference opponents while 4 other games featured SEC-ACC in-state rivalry matchups.
Here’s what Cubelic had to say about all 14 teams:
ARKANSAS: 5 is so good at getting skinny & finding a crease! OL struggled, esp in pass pro. Not enough time to push ball down field. 9 solid again. Missed some QB reads, allowed big chunks. 27 been really good last few weeks. Got lost vs run. Good game for 42, been great all yr

FLORIDA: Had duo going for most of the game. 29 grinder out yds & 7 found explosives. Just stopped late. 15 not consistent enough. 1 saved them a few times. Flags really hurt. Didn’t fit run well. Just didn’t see it well. QB runs were brutal. 2 was active. 33 caused some probs.

KENTUCKY: Rivalry win. Controlled the game. Never felt like they had to press. 24 the workhorse. He owns UL. 7 efficient. Didn’t force things. TEs played big role. 2 made plays. 13 huge on def, made things happen. Won turnover battle. That was difference. Up & down yr, needed it.

MISSISSIPPI STATE: Rivalry win. Front 7 was lights out. Hell of a game from 5. Penetration caused problems, esp in red zone. Secondary was super physical. Came up & hit. Limited explosive plays. Found runs when needed. 23 did some heavy lifting on off. 63 had a nice game up front

OLE MISS: Run game struggled. QB solid. Took what def gave him. Couldn’t get Q runs going. Things condensed in RZ. Struggled. DL movement really impacted the run game. 19 has been big recently for the off. Protection broke down later. Had a shot. 8 really good on def. 89 was good

TENNESSEE: Impressive performance with multiple injuries to DBs coming in & OL banged up during game. Motivation was a question coming in & they proved it wasn’t an issue. Wanted to get QB going early, 1st shot connecting was massive. Changed how it was called. DL really active!

VANDERBILT: Couldn’t find balance on off. Needed QB run to go early to loosen them up. 2 ran hard, just not much space. Need to force it to 14. LBs didn’t get cleats in ground, struggled to fit run. 13 is fun to watch, puts body on line. QB change didn’t help. Overall improvement
