Cole Cubelic shared his weekly takeaways following another action of SEC play, although several teams had a bye week.
Cubelic and his “SEC Weekend” crew were at the Kentucky-Mississippi State game, but he still appreciated Auburn’s plan on offense, and how the Tigers limited Ole Miss’ big plays. He noted that Georgia’s defense has more and more defenders coming on the scene, and the offense, though Stetson Bennett had a few bad decisions, still made plays and clinched the SEC East.
Here are the takeaways:
We do it each week, My Sunday SEC takeaways:
AUBURN: Loved plan on off, PA/RPO/Q runs, new wrinkles in the run game, esp blocking. Nice game for 58. QB great getting ball out quick & checking down. BEST thing D did IMO, limited YAC yds. Great reps from 29, 99, 50. 9 was amazing

GEORGIA: After 99, 88, 44…here comes 95 on that DL showing you another individual that can take over the game. Reacted well to new plays they saw on def. 70 blocked well. Plan not complicated on off, didn’t need to be. Q made some plays but had a few BAD decisions. Got the East

MISSISSIPPI STATE: Rogers damn near perfect. He checked down right behind blitzes all night long. So confident. Finally saw run plays to take adv of the looks given. Def was great down a safety & CB for most of the game. OL has a great night. Weirdest team in college football!!

OLE MISS: Beat up & it showed. Couldn’t get lose on quick game. Not enough movement in run game. Def did a poor job getting off blocks. 64 was still solid. QB went back to last year on the pick late. Need explosives to get going & couldn’t find them.

VANDERBILT: Lost in coverage too much. Just see guys in space catch the ball with no defender near by. 5 brings playmaking ability but consistency just not there yet. 42 ran hard. 0 did some nice things on def. Have to find more efficient way to manage offense. Effort is not poor
