Saturday's SEC Tip Sheet
November 11, 2016
**Auburn at Georgia**
-- Auburn remains alive for everything going into this Saturday’s SEC showdown between the hedges with Georgia. As of late Friday afternoon, most books had Auburn (7-2 straight up, 7-2 against the spread) installed as a 10-point favorite with a total of 48. Gamblers could take UGA on the money line for a monster +320 return (risk $100 to win $320).
-- Since 2002, Georgia (5-4 SU, 4-5 ATS) has only been a home underdog three times. The Bulldogs covered in their lone home ‘dog spot this year, taking the cash as 3.5-point ‘dogs in a 34-31 home loss to Tennessee.
-- Georgia had lost four of its last five games going into Lexington last week, but it knocked off Kentucky 27-24 as a 2.5-point road favorite. The 51 combined points slipped ‘under’ the 52-point tally. Rodrigo Blankenship booted a walk-off 25-yard field goal to secure the victory as time expired. Blankenship had already connected on three kicks from 49, 42 and 25 yards out. UGA enjoyed a 460-308 advantage over UK in total yards, but three lost fumbles allowed the Wildcats to hang around. True freshman QB Jacob Eason completed 17-of-31 passes for 245 yards and one TD without an interception. Sony Michel ran for 127 yards and one TD on 19 totes, while Nick Chubb finished with 85 rushing yards on 21 attempts.
-- Eason has been up and down, but he has all the makings of a QB who will play on Sundays for a long time. He has connected on 53.3 percent of his passes for 1,754 yards with an 11/5 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Isaiah McKenzie has 32 receptions for 459 yards and six TDs.
-- Chubb has rushed for a team-best 691 yards and five TDs while averaging 4.7 yards per carry. Michel has 487 rushing yards and two TDs with a 5.1 YPC average.
-- Auburn has won six consecutive games while cashing tickets at a 5-1 ATS clip. Gus Malzahn’s squad has been particularly sharp on the road, winning 38-14 at Mississippi St. and 40-29 at Ole Miss.
-- Auburn was fortunate to capture a 23-16 win over Vanderbilt last week as a 23.5-point home ‘chalk.’ The Tigers played the first half without starting QB Sean White, who had not practiced all week due to a shoulder injury. However, with Vandy ahead 13-10 at intermission, White gave it a go in the second half. He completed 10-of-13 passes for 106 yards and one TD without an interception. Kamryn Pettway rushed 25 times for 173 yards, but he pulled up lame with a hamstring injury on a long run that would’ve been a TD to put the game on ice. But when Pettway went down, Vandy’s defense held and forced a field-goal attempt. That kick was blocked on a sensational play by Zach Cunningham, who timed it perfect and leaped over the offensive guard without making contact and easily blocked the attempt. Then the Commodores penetrated into Auburn territory in the final minute thanks to a first-down pass off a deflection on a fourth-and-18 play. But Kyle Shurmur, who played the best game of his career, made his only mistake and was intercepted inside the red zone. Nevertheless, Vandy easily took the cash as the double-digit ‘dog.
-- White has been the SEC’s biggest surprise. He has completed 69.1 percent of his passes for 1,617 yards with a 9/2 TD-INT ratio. He has rushed for 145 yards and a pair of scores. White’s favorite target is Tony Stevens, who has 24 receptions for 408 yards and three TDs.
-- Pettway leads the SEC in rushing with 1,106 yards and seven TDs. He averages 6.4 YPC. Pettway is listed as ‘questionable’ at UGA and will likely be a game-time decision. If he can’t go, the ground game should be in good hands with Kerryon Johnson, who has rushed for 616 yards and nine TDs while averaging 4.9 YPC.
-- Auburn has compiled a 5-2 spread record in seven games as a road favorite during Malzahn’s tenure.
-- UGA has lost two of its three home games both SU and ATS this year.
-- Georgia is ranked 16th in the country in total defense and 20th in rush defense.
-- The ‘under’ has cashed at a 6-3 overall clip for UGA, going 2-1 in its three home outings. The Bulldogs have seen their games average combined scores of 49.6 points per game.
-- The ‘under’ is 5-4 overall for Auburn, 1-1 in its road assignments.
-- Kickoff in Athens is slated for 3:30 p.m. Eastern on CBS.
LSU at Arkansas**
-- As of late Friday afternoon, most spots had LSU (5-3 SU, 3-5 ATS) installed as a seven-point road favorite with a total of 46. The Razorbacks were available to win outright for a payout in the +240 neighborhood.
-- Arkansas (6-3 SU, 4-5 ATS) bounced back from its worst loss during Bret Bielema’s tenure to spank Florida 31-10 as a 3.5-point home underdog last week. The 41 combined points dipped ‘under’ the 44-point total. Santos Ramirez put the Razorbacks on the board first with a 24-yard pick-six off of Luke Del Rio on the Gators’ first play from scrimmage. Rawleigh Williams rushed for 148 yards and two TDs on 26 carries, while Austin Allen threw for 243 yards and one TD. Drew Morgan had a game-high seven receptions for 95 yards and one TD.
-- Arkansas is 5-2 ATS with four outright victories in its last seven games as a home ‘dog. The Hogs have won five of six home games this year while going 3-3 ATS. The only defeat at home came to top-ranked Alabama.
-- Arkansas junior QB Austin Allen has completed 61.8 percent of his passes for 2,291 yards with a 19/8 TD-INT ratio. He throws to one of the nation’s best and most underrated group of WRs led by Morgan, who has hauled in 48 receptions for 515 yards and three TDs. Jared Cornelius has 24 catches for 465 yards and four TDs, while Keon Hatcher has 29 grabs for 441 yards and five TDs. Jeremy Sprinkle has made 23 catches for 266 yards and four TDs after replacing Chargers’ rookie Hunter Henry at the tight end position.
-- Williams has rushed for 955 yards and seven TDs while averaging 5.3 YPC. Devwah Whaley is a solid back-up, producing 383 yards and one score while averaging 5.4 YPC.
-- LSU is off a heartbreaking 10-0 loss to Alabama as a seven-point home underdog. The defense was spectacular, but the offense was a train wreck and special teams didn’t help much, either. The offense produced merely six first downs, 125 total yards and 33 rushing yards on 27 attempts. Leonard Fournette was limited to 35 rushing yards on 17 carries. The game remained scoreless until Alabama freshman QB Jalen Hurts ran for a 21-yard score with 13:08 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Crimson Tide tacked on a 25-yard field goal from Adam Griffith to put the game on ice with 2:41 left. The Tigers have now lost six in a row to Alabama.
-- Before falling to the Tide, LSU had won three straight games since the dismissal of Les Miles following an 18-13 loss at Auburn. Interim head coach Ed Orgeron remain in the mix as a candidate for the full-time gig, but he won’t be much longer if the Tigers can’t get a victory in Fayetteville. Orgeron led them to home wins over Missouri (42-7), So. Miss (45-10) and Ole Miss (38-21), but this will be their first game on the road with ‘Coach O’ calling the shots. They haven’t left Baton Rouge since the loss on The Plains, and their only other road outing was the 16-14 loss to Wisconsin at Lambeau Field in the opener.
-- Fournette missed three games, but he returned against the Rebels to rush for a school-record 284 yards and three TDs on just 16 carries. For the season, Fournette has 705 rushing yards and five TDs with a 7.0 YPC average. He also has 13 catches for 102 yards. Derrius Guice has rushed for 629 yards and seven TDs while averaging 7.9 YPC.
-- Purdue grad transfer Danny Etling has been the starting QB since Week 3. Etling has connected on 58.5 percent of his throws for 1,221 yards with a 7/4 TD-INT ratio.
-- Arkansas has dominated LSU in the last two meetings, including a 31-14 win in Baton Rouge last year. When they collided in Fayetteville two seasons ago, the Hogs dealt out cream-cheese treatment in the form of a 17-0 clubbing.
-- The ‘under’ is 5-4 overall for Arkansas, 5-1 in its home games. The Hogs have seen their games average combined scores of 59.9 PPG.
-- The ‘under’ is 6-0-2 overall for the Tigers, who have seen their games average combined scores of 40.5 PPG.
-- ESPN will have the broadcast at 7:00 p.m. Eastern.
**B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**
-- Florida is somehow a double-digit home favorite vs. South Carolina. The Gators have limped to a 3-6 spread record in nine double-digit ‘chalk’ spots since Jim McElwain took over for his counterpart this weekend, Will Muschamp. The Gamecocks have ripped off three consecutive wins since Muschamp made the best decision of his head-coaching career. With South Carolina going into an open date with a 2-4 record, Muschamp elected to take the redshirt off of four-star freshman recruit Jake Bentley, who has responded by playing lights out and leading the ‘Cocks to three straight wins. Bentley has completed 73.0 percent of his passes for 622 yards and six TDs without an interception. Indeed, there’s just a tad bit of irony in the fact that Muschamp returns to The Swamp with what appears to be a beautiful QB situation set up not just for the present, but also for the next 2-3 seasons. Don’t bring up the phrase ‘QB situation’ in Gainesville these days. That’s because we’re now deep into the seventh season of UF getting deplorable play at the most important position on the field. Since Tim Tebow graduated in 2009, the following players have taken snaps: Trey Burton, Jordan Reed, John Brantley, Jeff Driskel, Jacoby Brissett, Tyler Murphy, Skyler Mornhingweg, Treon Harris, Will Grier, Luke Del Rio and Austin Appleby. None has enjoyed any sustained success like former UF QBs such as Steve Spurrier, John Reaves, Wayne Peace, Kerwin Bell, Shane Matthews, Danny Wuerffel, Doug Johnson, Rex Grossman, Chris Leak and Tebow.
-- Adding to UF’s woes is a laundry list of injured players. Before getting spanked 31-10 at Arkansas, UF had the nation’s second-ranked defense. However, that unit won’t have its two leading tacklers against USC. Senior LB Jarrad Davis (ankle) and Alex Anzalone (broken forearm) are ‘out’ along with Del Rio (shoulder) and starting junior center Cam Dillard. In addition, sophomore DE CeCe Jefferson will be a game-time decision. Austin Appleby will get his third start of the season. The grad transfer from Purdue has three TD passes compared to just one interception. CBS will have the kick from Steve Spurrier Field at noon Eastern.
-- If my remarks above didn’t make it clear, I’m all over South Carolina catching the double-digit number. And as much as it pains me to say it, nobody should be shocked if the Gamecocks cash money-line tickets in the +350ish range.
-- Regardless of whether his team wins or loses, Muschamp will – as always – be a class act on Saturday. (Yes, I don’t dock anyone class points when they angrily cuss at refs after they make incompetent calls.)
-- VegasInsider.com learned early Friday that Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze has decided to take the redshirt off of five-star freshman recruit Shea Patterson and start him Saturday night at Texas A&M. With star senior QB Chad Kelly suffering a season-ending injury in last week’s non-covering home win over Ga. Southern, the 4-5 Rebels were left to make a tough call. But was it really that difficult to go this way? First of all, if Patterson is ‘as advertised,’ he’s not going to be around for a fourth year anyway. Secondly, with probation looming, most of the momentum earned during Freeze’s tenure basically evaporates if Ole Miss doesn’t go bowling. These are three extremely important games remaining on the regular-season slate, and the Rebels have to win two of them to get invited to the postseason. They are 10-point ‘dogs to the Aggies, who fell from No. 4 in the College Football rankings after losing 35-28 at Mississippi St. as 10.5-point road ‘chalk’ last week.
-- The loss was costly for Kevin Sumlin’s team in more ways than one. Trevor Knight, who was enjoying a banner season after transferring over from Oklahoma, sustained a season-ending shoulder injury against the Bulldogs.
-- Ole Miss owns a 6-3 spread record in nine games as a road ‘dog on Freeze’s watch.
-- After getting out of RedStick unscathed with a 10-0 victory compliments of a spectacular defensive performance, top-ranked and undefeated Alabama moves on from LSU to a home game with Mississippi St. at noon Eastern on ESPN. Most spots have the Tide tagged as a 29-point home favorite.
-- Tennessee is a 14-point home favorite vs. Kentucky. If the Vols can win out (they won’t because I believe they’re going to lose to Vandy), they’ll win the SEC East if UF loses one of its two remaining league games (vs. USC and at LSU). Butch Jones has indicated that RB Alvin Kamara will return to the lineup vs. UK. Also, there’s a chance CB Cam Sutton may play for the first time since getting injured in a 28-19 home win over Ohio in Week 3. Malik Foreman remains a question mark.
