The writer forecasts Texas over Tennessee, 31-27; Ole Miss over Florida, 38-31; and LSU over Texas A&M, 31-21, in Week 4’s featured SEC games. Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy is listed as a game-time decision.
The writer points to Texas scoring 21 fourth-quarter points in its Week 2 win over Ohio State and having more veteran leadership than Tennessee, whose freshman starter Faizon Brandon faces a first major test. Lacy’s availability is described as important, and the article says Florida must slow quarterback Trinidad Chambliss. Texas A&M’s Marcel Reed has thrown three interceptions this season and LSU’s Sam Leavitt five, according to the piece.
The other picks are Kentucky 42-20 over South Alabama, Georgia 38-17 over Oklahoma, Auburn 35-27 over Vanderbilt, Alabama 45-38 over South Carolina, Mississippi State 34-31 over Missouri, and Tulsa 24-21 over Arkansas.
