Week 2 of the SEC season features all 14 teams in action with a ma sive non-conference game on the slate and four teams dipping their toe into SEC play for the first time. No. 1 Alabama will travel to Texas for a highly-anticipated non-conference game. Meanwhile, there are two league games set to kick off the SEC slate. Staff members from , and provide their predictions for the rest of the SEC games this week.Alabama (1-0) at Texas (1-0), Saturday, 11 a.m. Central, FoxLogan Collier, Staff Writer: Texas might be back, but not in this one. The score may not have shown it, but the Longhorns had some i sues early against ULM last week. Bamas defense is just on a different level. Its going to get ugly in Austin. Alabama 45, Texas 14Zack Dimmitt, Staff Writer: Even in a perfect world, the Longhorns would still fall short in this one. In what is for sure to be an exciting game, Texas
Ryan Switzer Women Jersey might be a little too jittery against a Nick Saban-coached defense that once again made it to the College Football Playoff last season. Alabama would have to beat itself, something that wont happen given the hype surrounding this game and the extra gear that opposing teams tend to find when marching into Austin. Give me the Tide in a blowout. Alabama 45, Texas 23Matthew Postins, Staff Writer: Forget about the heat. Both teams have to
Alejandro Villanueva Youth Jersey deal with it and its not like its cool in Tuscaloosa (I should know I was there last week). Alabama is where Texas wants to be. This is a measuring stick game. I suspect Texas Bijan Robinson will give Alabama a bit of trouble. But that Alabama defense is going to give young quarterback Quinn Ewers a LOT of trouble. Alabama 37, Texas 16Cole Thompson, Staff Writer: The Longhorns trending in the right direction after a Week 1 victory. Alabama is already where Texas hopes to be in the coming years. Alabama 45, Texas 28Connor Zimmerlee, Staff Writer: Texas keeps it closer than people expect but can't quite get it done against Saban and Co. Alabama 38, Texas 31South Carolina (1-0) at Arkansas (1-0), Saturday, 11 a.m. Central, ESPNLogan Collier, Staff Writer: The Razorbacks have been resurging these past few years. That will continue here. Arkansas 38, South Carolina 10Zach Dimmitt, Staff Writer: KJ Jefferson should be able to continue his Heisman candidacy in a win over the Gamecocks, but dont underestimate Spencer Rattler and South Carolina. Arkansas 32, South Carolina 29Matthew Postins, Staff Writer: I feel like Arkansas got a nice test last week against Cincinnati. That was a bigger win than people realize. It was better preparation for an improving South Carolina team. Arkansas 33, South Carolina 21Cole Thompson, Staff Writer: South Carolina needed three quarters to find its offense.
Robby Anderson Youth Jersey The Hogs will be looking to keep their hot streak with quarterback KJ Jefferson alive at home. Arkansas 34, South Carolina 20Connor Zimmerlee, Staff Writer: The Gamecocks put a scare into the Razorbacks, but ultimately come up just short of the upset win. Arkansas 31, South Carolina 28Wake Forest (1-0) at Vanderbilt (2-0), Saturday, 11 a.m. Central, SEC NetworkLogan Collier, Staff Writer: Vandy cant seem to catch a break. Wake will roll in this one. Wake Forest 28, Vanderbilt 3Zach Dimmitt, Staff Writer: Wake Forest is getting quarterback Sam Hartman back at the perfect time, but not-so-perfect of a time for the Commodores. Vanderbilts promising run toward a third win will be put on hold. Wake Forest 37, Vanderbilt 13Matthew Postins, Staff Writer: Any hope of Vandy pulling off the upset ended with the return of Sam Hartman at quarterback at Wake Forest. Now, he needs to shake off some rust, so this will be a little closer than you might think. Wake Forest 31, Vanderbilt 21Cole Thompson, Staff Writer: If Sam Hartman was out for this game, Mike Wright and the Commodores might have stood a chance. Lo and behold, he's making the trip to Nashville. Wake Forest 38, Vanderbilt 17Connor Zimmerlee, Staff Writer: A 2-0 Vanderbilt start comes to a halt as Sam Hartman returns for Wake Forest to secure a victory. Wake Forest 49,
Jerome Bettis Men Jersey Vanderbilt 17Mi souri (1-0) at Kansas State (1-0), Saturday, 11 a.m. Central, ESPN2Logan Collier, Staff Writer: Mizzou played well in the opener, but Deuce Vaughn will be too much for the Tigers defense on the road. Kansas State 42, Mi souri 31Zach Dimmitt, Staff Writer: Kansas State ended last season with a dominant 42-20 win over another SEC Tigers team. What the Wildcats did to LSU mightve been expected given the state of the program in Baton Rouge, but Kansas States underrated defense could bring the same edge against a Mizzou team that struggled to find any sort of consistency against Power 5 competition last season. Still, the Tigers head into this road game with plenty of momentum after their 52-24 season-opening win over Louisiana Tech. But Kansas State running back Deuce Vaughn and the Wildcat offense will be too much for Mizzou in what should be an entertaining game. Kansas State 31, Mi souri 27Matthew Postins, Staff Writer: Look, K-State running back Deuce Vaughn is SO GOOD he just needs one tendency of one defender to take it to the house. Mizzou will learn that fast, but it will be too late. Kansas State 37, Mi souri 21Cole Thompson, Staff Writer: The Wildcats have one of the best duos in terms of rushing offense with Deuce Vaughn and Adrian Martinez. Mi souri had one of the worst run defenses in the country last year and did little to improve it. Kansas State 38, Mi souri 28Connor Zimmerlee, Staff Writer: Kansas State is a dark horse Big 12 contender to some, but Mi souri pulls off an early-season upset win. Mi souri 31, Kansas State 28Tenne see (1-0) at Pitt (1-0), Saturday, 2:30 p.m. Central
Nick Dzubnar Women Jersey , ABCLogan Collier, Staff Writer: Well find out if Tenne sees for real in this one. Pitt doesnt look like it is though. The Vols offense may stomp on the Panthers, who looked outmatched for a lot of their game with West Virginia last week. Tenne see 56, Pitt 28Zach Dimmitt, Staff Writer: One of the games of the week. Tenne see is one of the SECs most underrated teams and should give Pitt a second-straight week of thrilling action. Its a to s-up, but Ill take the Vols. Tenne see 32, Pitt 30
