Our list of the SEC’s best and worst in Week 7:

STUDS

1. Alabama secondary: The Crimson Tide defensive backs scored three touchdowns Saturday, more than the entire offense of five teams in the conference this week, including the one they were playing against. True freshman Minkah Fitzpatrick returned two interceptions for scores and Eddie Jackson added another, while Texas A&M managed just one offensive touchdown against Alabama.

2. Lewis Neal: Last year LSU had just 19 sacks, their lowest total since 2000. Through six games this season, they’re already at 14, and Neal has half of those in his first year as a starter. The Florida offensive line had no answer for the junior defensive end Saturday, as he finished with 10 tackles, three sacks and three hurries.

3. Derrick Henry: Alabama’s 240-pound running back ran at will through the first half against Texas A&M on Saturday, and though the Aggies adjusted and contained him to some degree afterward, they never truly stopped him. Henry finished with a career-high 236 yards and two touchdown on 32 carries, and has now scored a touchdown in 12 straight games.

DUDS

1. Ole Miss: The disappointment that comes with the Rebels’ loss to Memphis is too all-encompassing to pin it on any one aspect. Fans could justifiably take issue with the defense’s poor tackling, the offensive line’s inability to exert its will on a team from the American Athletic Conference or Hugh Freeze’s play-calling. The Rebels had very real playoff hopes after the win over Alabama. Those are now long gone, replaced by a shaken confidence as they prepare to take on a Texas A&M team in need of a victory to stay in the thick of the SEC West race.

2. Kyle Allen: Until Saturday, Texas A&M’s sophomore quarterback hadn’t played a bad game all year. Aggies fans must be hoping he got it all out of his system in an ugly showing against Alabama. Allen showed glimpses of play-making ability against the Tide — but only glimpses. For the vast majority of the game he was pressured into inaccurate throws and poor decisions, resulting a completion rate of just 50 percent and three pick-sixes.

3. Missouri offense: The bad news is that the Tigers offense has struggled all season. The worse news is that its showing few signs of improving. Georgia’s defense deserves some credit for playing up to its potential and limiting Missouri to 164 yards of total offense on Saturday, but it was only a prolonging of the Tigers’ offensive ineptitude. They’ve been held out of the end zone for nine consecutive quarters, and have topped 300 yards of offense in just one game since the season opener against Southeast Missouri State.
