SEC Helmet Stickers

No matter how you slice it, a pretty wild weekend in the SEC. Let’s hand out some helmet stickers:

Georgia quarterback Joe Cox: Boy, were they down on Cox in the Peach State after that season-opening loss at Oklahoma State. Then it really got crazy that next week with all kinds of rumors swirling. All he’s done since then is lead the Bulldogs to 40 or more points and a pair of wins the last two games. He tied the Georgia school record with five touchdown passes Saturday night in a 52-41 win over Arkansas. His arm strength looks fine to me.

Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin: We rarely give out helmet stickers to somebody on the losing end. But Kiffin had his Vols ready to play in some of the toughest circumstances imaginable at the Swamp, and they outplayed Florida for much of the game. If the Vols play with that kind of pride and that kind of toughness the rest of the way, they will win a lot of games this season.

Mississippi State’s defense: A week after being shredded for 589 yards of total offense by Auburn in a 49-24 loss, Mississippi State’s defense came back swinging against Vanderbilt and held the Commodores to one field goal and 157 total yards. In the first half, Vanderbilt managed just one first down against Carl Torbush’s bunch.

Kentucky receiver Randall Cobb: It’s hard to find a more versatile playmaker anywhere in the country. Cobb made a couple of unbelievable plays Saturday that saved Kentucky in its 31-27 win over Louisville. His leaping 12-yard touchdown catch was the game-winner for the Wildcats. But his catch and run on a 28-yard gain on a third-and-10 play earlier in the quarter may have been the play of the game. It was an outside screen, and Cobb was swarmed by Louisville defenders. Somehow, he broke out and kept alive a key touchdown drive for the Wildcats.

Auburn quarterback Chris Todd: He looks so much better throwing the ball than he did this time a year ago that it’s hard to believe he's the same player. Todd’s offseason shoulder surgery has given him a new lease on his football life, and he’s been a big part of the Tigers’ hot start. He passed for career highs of 284 yards and four touchdowns in the 41-30 win over West Virginia. In his first three games, Todd has six touchdown passes and just one interception. But what was so important about Saturday was that the Mountaineers dared him to beat them throwing the football, and he made them pay.

Very impressive list.

Cobb had a great game but Derrick Locke had 300+ all-purpose yards. Gotta give him the sticker if I had to choose even considering his fumble. Oh well. Nice for a Kentucky kid to make the list.

Agreed. Cobb poppin out and getting that 28 yd gain was impressive, but Derrick Locke was CLEARLY the star yesterday.

I agree Todd has improved from last season but there wasn't nowhere to go but up honestly.When he performs well against a solid defense with an actual pass rush, then I'll give him full credit.

We should have SECTalk helmet stickers every week...that would be a fun thread.

Yes, Locke over Cobb for the UL game. That said, Cobb prolly shoulda had a lot more touches. We need to get him the ball more. Not taking anything from Locke, 'cause I like him getting the ball, too. Also, must give big shout out to my boy, John Conner. My favorite fullback EVER! Glad they threw him the bone on his TD run. I swear I can't believe UL didn't stop him...I mean everybody in the stadium knew he was going to get the ball again after that great 23 yard run!!

While Kiffin does deserve credit for having his team ready to play (isn't that his job?)...to say that the Vols "outplayed the Gators for much of the game" is a stretch.

Stupid helmet stickers. The vandy defense should get a few of them, they gave up 15 points and were on the field 57minutes. HA.
So, please dont ban me.
