Week 8 Preview

East Dominance at stake this week.
A week ago they played three overtimes, they played over 60 minutes of their best football ever, the end result?… a victory over the #1 rank LSU tigers… now Kentucky will have a shot to end a 20 game losing streak to SEC east’s usual power Florida. But the question is if they can keep the good times rolling. Florida is looking to keep themselves in the race for the SEC championship game. While Kentucky looks to keep up with South Carolina. This game decides a few things how real was the upset last week and who will likely get to play in the Championship most likely a rematch against LSU for either team.
The number 1 worry for the Wildcats is the Gator’s quarterback Tim Tebow because of his versatility. As last season a team with a scrambling quarterback would tear up the Wildcat defense. Yet the experience of Andre Woodson looks to play into the match up. As they look to use him to score points and try and down Florida. The question is which hiesman hopeful wants it more. How much are they willing to put out on the playing field. One team leaves in a drivers seat the other has a lot of catching up to do the rest of the season.
Kentucky 38 Florida 34
The west may be turned upside down.
The ex #1 Tigers must play Auburn this weekend. Now if Auburn wins is it really that big of an upset as seeing what this game used to be. Usually playing out to decide which SEC west team was going to put their 1 or no loss record on the line against the East. Yet if Auburn wants to pull another big upset they’ll have to do it in Baton Rouge. No one wants to play there seeing as it is one of the toughest stadiums to play in, in the nation. LSU has a two sided battle here though a win keeps their national title hopes alive while a loss would most likely take them out of the picture. The only way they could stay in is if all the teams lose two games.
While LSU stars in the area of running backs as it seems like they have a new star in that position every week. Auburn on the other side has a solid run defense that has been keeping teams running game tamed. This year it will be a challenge for LSU to go through the air too as they don’t have Jamarcus Russell anymore. Although Flynn is good he isn’t that good yet. Look for this one to be one of the most physical games of the season. This one may be the classic LSU didn’t want this week.
LSU 17 Auburn 16
More South and North Action
Last week they had Oklahoma and failed now they’ll look to overcome the loss as they play the Texas Tech Red Raiders… in what will be a 2nd straight tough match up for the Missouri Tigers. Fortunately for the Tigers they’ll get to host Texas Tech this weekend. Yet unfortunately the Red Raiders are on a 3 game winning streak… with there only loss this season to Oklahoma St. 49-45. While Missouri’s only loss came last week against Oklahoma 41-31. Both teams have the ability to score points. Both teams could surprise in the Big 12 if they step it up. Missouri looks to win the North yet with Kansas that may be a challenge. While Texas Tech could win the south if they can win here and later when they play Oklahoma.
Both teams have great offenses. Starting with their quarterbacks who for Missouri is Chase Daniels who is averaging 345.5 yards a game while Texas Tech features Graham Harrell 450.1 yards a game which is the leading yardage for the Bowl subdivision who also has a high 31 touchdowns already this season. With two of the top five offense I wouldn’t expect anything less than extremely high scores here. Look for a lot of points
Texas Tech 52 Missouri 48
