SEC football Week 3 schedule, TV listings (September 18, 2021)

The SEC football’s Week 3 schedule is absolutely loaded with lots of games and elite matchups.

Headlining the conference lineup is No. 1 Alabama at No. 11 Florida. After a lackluster win over Mercer last week, Alabama’s first real test comes on the road in a hostile environment in The Swamp. Florida will be looking to play spoiler, but do the Gators have enough to actually pull the upset? Quarterback Anthony Richardson will be key for Florida if it has any chance.

The second headlining game comes when No. 22 Auburn travels to No. 10 Penn State. The Nittany Lions are having a ‘whiteout’ against the Tigers in hopes of creating an incredible home field advantage. Can Bo Nix emerge as a serious difference-maker in a hostile environment? He and running back Tank Bigsby will be the keys.
