Week 2 of the SEC season had everything you’ve come to expect. Statement games (Georgia and A&M)? Check. Historic streak-buster (Kentucky)? Yep. Ugly loss (Arkansas) and weird win (Mississippi)? We had one each of those.

We do what we do here on Sundays — hand out grade cards. Did your team make it to the head of the class or to detention? We break down the winners, the losers and the best and worst of Week 2.

West

Mississippi State: A

The much-anticipated passing game didn’t amount to much, but it’s the only thing State did that didn’t work. Whether it was rushing for 9.8 yards per carry (and Kylin Hill looks superb) or shutting down K-State entirely (213 total yards), State had it.

Texas A&M: A

An A for a loss? Well, the Aggies outgained the No. 2 team in the nation by 88 yards, took the game into the final minute and delivered notice that going into College Station and winning is going to be a tall task. Were there mistakes? Sure, but the story here was that this game was this close this late.

Auburn: A-

This looked like the Gus Bus we’ve all come to know. Auburn rushed 59 times for 429 yards. In a game like this, they could give Jarrett Stidham some rest and lean on their defense. A trouble spot would be fumbles. The Tigers can’t lose four fumbles against a good team.

Alabama: B+

They were dominant and surprised no one. What does it look like when Alabama can throw and catch? It looks like 321 passing yards and six scores in the air. The only down side was allowing 5.6 yards per carry. If Arkansas State could run the ball on the Tide, that might open the door a bit for the SEC West … but only a crack.

LSU: B

There’s no style points here. LSU rides a tough defense (1.5 yards per carry allowed) and an offense that struggles to get out of its own way. The former will carry them against mediocre competition, but the latter could cost them.

Mississippi: C+

The Rebel offense? Give it an A. 646 total yards, 479 in the air, 5.2 yards per carry on the ground. The defense? Send it to the Sun Belt. Gave up 629 yards, 388 in the air, and 5.4 yards per carry on the ground to SIU. This kind of bipolar performance won’t win many games in the SEC.

Arkansas: D

The Razorbacks took a 27-9 lead midway through the third quarter but found a way to lose to Colorado State. They were torched by CSU’s passing game and looked like the worst team in the SEC.

East

Kentucky: A

The streak ended on the back of a tough defense and a brutal ground game that shoved Florida out of the trenches for 303 pivotal yards. Kentucky earned it.

Georgia: A

Georgia used this game to make a statement, namely that nobody in the East is going to come close to knocking them off. They outrushed South Carolina by a 271-54 margin. USC is probably the second most talented team in the East, but it’s a big gap between USC and UGA.

Vanderbilt: B+

Vandy has been solid. Of course, they’ve played two pretty bad teams, but they’ve showed a solid defense and a more consistent offense. Will it hold up?

Missouri: B+

Again, the level of competition is the only knock. Drew Lock was doing Drew Lock things, and the ground game is better than expected. Now, how about against a big boy opponent?

Tennessee: B

The good news was that Tennessee was good. The bad news is that this was the worst opposition any SEC team will face this year, and probably by more than a little. And ETSU still rushed for 4.3 yards per carry while holding UT to 4.3 yards per carry.

South Carolina: C

A big part of this game was that Georgia is just that much better. But meanwhile, Carolina got bullied in the trenches, and if that happens every time they face a team with decent talent, it could be a long season.

Florida: F

This game was dismal and unfocused for Florida. What does Dan Mullen hang his hat on? Kentucky ran all over his defense, his offense looked to have no real identity, and injuries and defections are starting to pile up.

Honor Roll

Offense

Mississippi

Sure, Southern Illinois isn’t going to draw national headlines for defense, but the Rebels looked great in the air, averaging almost 14 yards per pass attempt, and continued their commitment to the running game. At least the Rebels will be entertaining.

Texas A&M

Kellen Mond delivered on the promise he has always shown, passing for 430 yards and marching the Aggies up and down the field against one of the toughest defenses this side of Alabama. Good enough for us.

Defense

Kentucky

Ending a 31-year losing streak takes play-making. Kentucky slowed Florida’s offense to a crawl, holding UF to sub-50 percent completions and not allowing a 10-yard run until the mid fourth quarter.

Mississippi State

Holding Kansas State to 213 yards and just 15 first downs was pretty astounding. Adding eight tackles for loss was just icing on the cake.

Special teams

LSU

We see you, Cole Tracy. For the second straight week, he was perfect on kicks and made a 50-plus-yard field goal. What’s not to like there?

Tennessee

A blocked punt for a touchdown and solid kicking work get the Vols a positive mention.

Detention

Offense

LSU

Last in the SEC in total offense isn’t where the Tigers want to be, but they’re almost 100 yards per game behind Florida, which is in 12th place.

Florida

Kentucky was stout defensively, but Florida also seemed to lack any real sense of purpose on offense. There are too many 5-star recruits for UF to have no clue of what they’re doing.

Defense

Mississippi

They were here last week, and they might just move in a cot and stay a while. A week after allowing almost 500 yards, they allowed more than 600 and trailed at halftime to Southern Illinois, despite a near-perfect offensive game.

Arkansas

Sometimes, it’s not about the numbers, it’s about blowing a 27-9 lead in the mid third quarter. Every SEC offensive coordinator will watch this tape and salivate about playing the Razorbacks.

Special teams

Alabama

You can’t convince me the two missed extra points weren’t intentional, just to give Nick Saban something to be angry about in film review.

Texas A&M

Two missed field goals loom large in a two-point loss.
