SEC Roundup Article

Alabama
Alabama has a good special teams unit and it didn't disappoint Saturday against Mississippi State. That 32-7 win was the first in three years for the Crimson Tide. Javier Arenas fielded a punt and ran it 80 yard for a TD. He set up another TD with a 46 yard punt return.

Arkansas
Nathan Dick, Arkansas QB, was the starter for the Razorbacks. This was the first game of his career. He completed 25 of his 43 passes. He had three touchdowns and an interception. That's not bad for a player who is new to the college field. Lucas Miller, the Arkansas WR, caught ten passes for about 200 yards.

Auburn
Auburn was expected to be a great team this year but they have not lived up to expectations. However, they have forced their opponents to not even score an offensive touchdown during the first quarter this year. They have scored first in most of their games this year. 19 Auburn players have caught passes this year.

Florida
Florida is used to winning. They have a record of 10-1 for the second time in three years. They have had that record for the sixth time in school history. Florida has scored 42 or more points in six consecutive games, which is currently the nation's longest streak of doing so.

Georgia
Mark Richt is a good coach, especially under pressure. He has coached the Bulldogs to 16 wins when his team was tied or trailing in the last quarter. They have a good road record too. They have an impressive 30-4 record on the road while Richt is coaching.

Kentucky
Kentucky is not one of the best teams in the SEC but they do have a good statistic. They lead the SEC when it comes to giving up the fewest number of sacks (11). Also, they are tied with Florida when it comes to the most sacks they have put on the other team (27).

LSU
LSU had won 31 games in a row in which they scored 21 or more points. Good things must come to an end and that was no exception. I'm sure they would have much rather seen that scoring streak come to an end against almost any other SEC team and not such a big rival as Ole Miss.

Ole Miss
Jevan Snead, QB at Ole Miss, completed his seventh game with more than one TD pass against LSU. Also, this was his fifth game in which he completed 200 or more passing yards. Snead hasn't been picked off in the last three contests. Mike Wallace, Ole Miss WR, caught five balls for 99 yards. He also caught two passes for touchdowns.

MSU
Even though State's season is virtually in the basement, they have something to be proud of. They amassed a total of 445 yards against Arkansas, which is the most they have had against any team this season. Anthony Dixon was a big part of the win against Arkansas. The team is 10-3 when Dixon carries the ball more than 20 times. State also rushed the ball for over 226 yards, which is the most of the season too.

South Carolina
Kenny McKinley, WR of the Gamecocks, caught the ball six times against Florida. With 194 catches, he is now tied for seventh in the SEC. He also has a total of 2,637 receiving yards. That's a school record.

Tennessee
Eric Berry has been an integral part to the Vols. He picked off his 12th ball. With that pick was his third time he returned one of those interceptions. Berry played quarterback for the Tennessee Vols during their second possession and ran for 11 yards on four rushes.

Vanderbilt
Ryan Hamilton had sixteen tackles against Tennessee. Chris Marve had a sack and nine tackles. Reshard Langford picked off three balls.
