It came from Beasley taking on the load.

We watched LSU get blown out by the Florida State team. South Carolina didn't look good vs North Carolina.
This week we have Texas A&M being hammered by Miami. Wake Forest over Vanderbilt. Texas looks good against Bama, but Bama will figure out a way to survive. It took Ole Miss a while, but they finally finished off Tulane. Arkansas finally pulled away in their game. Florida won but didn't play anyone. South Carolina won but didn't play anyone. Mississippi State is looking good so far. Missouri doesn't look good so far. Kentucky wins but doesn't look impressive. LSU is winning big over Grambling. We get Auburn vs California late tonight.
Tennessee didn't look good in our win, way too many mistakes. We need to improve on both sides to handle Florida.

Some areas need to be cleaned up in a hurry.

Some took a step forward.

Here are my key takeaways.
