SEC Network analyst Cole Cubelic tweets takeaways from SEC's Week 6 action
Week 6 was an absolutely wild one in the SEC, with undefeated LSU and Kentucky teams suffering their first losses on the road. Meanwhile, South Carolina and Missouri played one of the strangest games in a long time, and Auburn collapsed at Mississippi State.
Alabama and Georgia took care of business, of course, but the rest of the league was chaos.
On Sunday morning, SEC Network analyst Cole Cubelic took to Twitter to share his thoughts on all the action.
Here’s what Cubelic had to say about each of the 13 SEC teams that were in action on Saturday:
We do it each week. My Sunday SEC takeaways:
ALABAMA: The display of accuracy Tua is showing is incredible. Good to see TE make more plays. Smith has been a solid blocker for awhile. Defense had some communication breakdowns in coverage but offense didn’t allow it to matter.

AUBURN: Serious soul searching needs to happen offensively. It wears on the defense physically, mentally & emotionally. Maybe saw that show up this week. First time < 100yds rushing 3 straight weeks since 1999?? Unacceptable. Will have to fight for a W this week vs Tennessee.

GEORGIA: Two very capable QBs. More appreciation for both after seeing them in person. The weapons are everywhere on offense. OL banged up & struggling to gel. DL active but will need to be better at point of attack moving forward. Nice division win.

LSU: can’t turn it over 3 times on the road vs quality opponent. Didn’t expect the rushing yards to go the way they did. You had to imaging OL shuffling might catch up & that group they saw was super athletic. Have to regroup quick with a giant game on deck. Brossette was solid.

MISSOURI: Difficult scenario with weather & delay but have to deal with it. Lock mistakes were crucial & uncharacteristic. Run game continues to be pretty good. Shouldn’t rush for 286 & lose the game. Turnovers & flags brutal for the tigers. OL playing good ball.

SOUTH CAROLINA: Big won for the Gamecocks. Needed it. Easy to lose focus with no Bentley, weather, delay…could tell it meant a great deal to Will. Yards per carry still need to improve. Made plays when they needed them late.

VANDERBILT: Impressed with run game early. Had a nice plan. The RBs gave nice effort. Couldn’t hold up in protection. Shurmer fit some balls in some very tight windows. He’s impressive. UGA just too athletic. Miserable on 3rd down. Tough stretch coming.
