The lone bright spot was the pass D, which limited D.J. USC lost its seventh consecutive to Clemson thanks to 206 total yards from the offense, including 43 rushing yards on 20 attempts. SOUTH CAROLINA - Talk about a crawl to the finish line. MISSOURI - Grateful for a bowl appearance in the second year of Eli, but 2022 will tell us much more things - one way or the other. *Bob Stoops (interim)- SEC Mike November 30, 2021 The updated SEC coaches roster is incredible: Surely, a harmless combination of residue from the Egg Bowl loss (maybe) and 18-year-olds changing their minds as often as the wind blows (probably), but the opinion mill - not to be confused with its trustworthy cousin, rumor - never, ever stops working. Exactly two weeks before the early signing period commences. MISSISSIPPI STATE - The program lost two 2022 commits at safety Wednesday. TENNESSEE - After a historically successful first season in Knoxville, Josh Heupel this week turned a cold shoulder to the possibility of him coming to the rescue of his alma mater to fulfill the sudden void left by Lincoln Riley, and that’s what makes the Vols an early dark horse to challenge Georgia in 2022.
A 10-win season may come along here and there, but how do you justify moving on from Jimbo Fisher, whose four-year contract extension prior to the season entitles him to the largest buyout the amateur football world has ever seen? TEXAS A&M - Tweets nearly a week old are like the Dead Sea scrolls, but the shade thrown by Rittenberg could very well be applicable on its anniversary for who knows how long. I'm sure next year will be the year for A&M.- Adam Rittenberg November 28, 2021
The deal would make Stoops the second-longest tenured head coach in the SEC, behind only Saban, and serve as a fitting acknowledgement of a decade-long commitment to a program that, despite the lack of a divisional title, has made immeasurable strides under his watch. KENTUCKY - University officials and Mark Stoops this week agreed in principle to extend the coach’s contract through the 2027 season. Never mind that no other regular season in program history has been this successful the dude was going to be linked to a number of prominent job openings even if he had won three games.ĪRKANSAS - At least offensively, the future is rosy in Fayetteville - maybe even defensively if our good friend Barry continues to progress (97th in scoring defense nationally in 2020 46th in 2021) - but time will tell whether Sam Pittman’s supremely impressive exploits to date have laid the foundation for a legitimate SEC West run. OLE MISS - You knew what you were getting into when you hired Lane Kiffin. That streak started a week after Alabama was a one-point road underdog in October of 2015 to, yep, at none other than Georgia.ĪLABAMA - Um, yeah, Alabama won that aforementioned game in Athens, 38-10, so take that any way you will. GEORGIA - How good are the Dawgs this season? They’re giving up 6.5 points Saturday in Atlanta, breaking a streak of 92 games in which the Tide entered as the favorite.
