It's not just "struggling to finish drives." It's the absolute futility on drives inside the 10-yard line that's killing Lane Kiffin & the #LSU Tigers. We'll discuss it with @MattMoscona next. #SEC
Lane Kiffin is now 0-6 against #Bama as a head coach, and outside the 12-10 Tennessee blocked FG game in 2009, he’s lost the other 5 by an average of nearly 15 points. I guess he won't have to worry about it until 2028, unless they meet in the playoff ... in 2027.

HOW'D WE DO?
• Texas-Missouri: Yep. Roberts: 66 yards on 19 carries. Texas won 34-20.
• Hogs–Auburn: Yep. Auburn ran for roughly 180 yards, with Byrum Brown going 122 and a TD in the W.
• A&M–SC: Sellers had only 34 net rushing yards ... right up until his 41-yard TD run with 1:27 left basically ended it.
• Bama–LSU: LSU got only 2 sacks, and Russell threw for 206 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT in the win.
• Vandy–Mississippi State: Yes! State finally put up some offense without Taylor. But Vandy scored 2 more.
• Kentucky–UT: Absolutely. Vols ran for about 240 yards, committed 0 turnovers, and won 34-6.
• Georgia–Ole Miss: Yep. Without Lacy, Ole Miss managed only ~66 rushing yards. UGA won 42-7.
• OU–Florida: OU’s offense under Witten wasn’t explosive, but it was CLEAN! 351 yards, 23 points, 0 turnovers.
• Holy War: Utah had ANOTHER strong 1Q (14-3); scored only 14 more in the game, but that was enough to hold on, 28-20.
IF THEY ASK: “WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR THIS WEEKEND?”
UT v. Mizzou: Roberts vs the SEC's best Run D, with Texas seriously beat up.
Hogs v. Auburn: Can Auburn exploit the SEC's worst Run D?
A&M v. SC: Will the Aggies keep Sellers in the pocket?
Bama v. LSU: Can the Tide protect Russell?
Vandy v. State: Can State score 18 in one game?
Kentucky v. Vols: Can UT just run / punt / and have no turnovers? In Neyland, with that D, that's a W.
Georgia v. Ole Miss: Can Ole Miss run without Lacy against UGA?
OU v. Florida: What a mess. What does OU’s offense look like under Witten?
BONUS:
First ever Top Ten Holy War: Can BYU survive the first quarter? (Utah 89-6 in first quarters this season)

Oh my, yes. LSU being 7 and UK not even in it is......
The FPI needs to be retired immediately.
Not at the end of the year….now.
The weird FPI formula used to get this Top 25 isn’t fair to the our amazing Stats and Info team that work so incredibly hard each week behind the scenes.
A&M at 24? What are we doing?

Russ Mitchell retweeted
With tomorrow being the one-year anniversary of former Dallas Cowboy Marshawn Kneeland’s death, Dak Prescott spoke about the team honoring him with an initiative called “Huddle 94.”
“(It’s) allowing us to create conversations and get together in smaller groups that talk about life and talk about things that are stressors to us that if it was something that we had, may have helped Marshawn. It may have been something that would have been a resource for him to prevent what inevitably happened.
“Just trying to honor him by creating those conversations, by creating that group. I think it’s gonna be big. I think it’s gonna be needed, just even hearing from the introduction about it, how guys felt about it. I’m excited to do it. At the same time, you’re honoring Marshawn. You’re getting to bring up conversations of how people felt about him and what he meant to us.
“… He’s missed. He’s missed greatly from a lot of people around here, and in this organization. I appreciate them honoring him. Every time I step on that field, I say a prayer and I end with, ‘God allow me to do this for Marshawn and people that can’t do it any more.’
“Life is delicate, and we should never take these moments that we have, no matter if it’s football or whatever we do in life, for granted. And be thankful, and make sure we’re always telling the people around us that we love them.”

Saturday's #CFB slate is absolutely ridiculous. 🏈🛞🔥
The #SEC alone gives us MADNESS! And that's before you add a top 10 Holy War between #8 BYU and #6 Utah, #1 Miami under Touchdown Jesus at #5 ND, and a wounded Oregon at a reeling Ohio State.
Six ranked-vs-ranked matchups. Conference title races, undefeated seasons, and playoff hopes on the line.
Hope you've done all your Honey-Dos.
