A very intriguing week of SEC football.
#14 Miami Vs. #8 Florida
This was a great defensive battle. Florida’s 4 TOs to Miami’s 1 TO would make you believe this game should’ve ended in a Miami blowout but, the Hurricanes offense couldn’t produce or get going as they were inconsistent all night long. Florida took advantage of the great field position they got on virtually every drive and did enough to pull out the win. Florida’s defense deserves the credit for keeping the Miami offense in a daze every time they touched the pigskin.

Clemson Vs. #9 Kentucky
Kentucky got out to a 24-10 lead but, Clemson stormed back and scored 28 unanswered points to take a 38-24 lead. A game of swings, one could say. Kentucky could’ve folded and gave up, but they knew a spot in the playoff was on the line. QB Scott Pinesaw and RB Taylor Copley led the charge for Kentucky to score the last 17 points in this one to come out victorious.

#3 Alabama Vs. #5 FSU
FSU QB Jim Carr wouldn’t be denied this week as he looked determined to secure a playoff spot in these last two weeks. A close game through the most of 3 quarters, but FSU hit a switch and pulled away. Alabama is a great team and primed to bounce back next week.
