After over a full month of college football, the winners have separated themselves from the losers. Although there is a lot of football left to be played, it is obvious who the contenders are. Below are the biggest SEC Winners & Losers.
Prior to the season, many had Gus Malzahn on the hot seat. However, Malzahn took over the play calling on offense and has shredded defenses with a freshman quarterback. Regardless of how the rest of the season plays out, Malzahn has proven that he is the right man for the job. They have a daunting schedule ahead of them – games at Florida and LSU while hosting Georgia and Alabama – but if Auburn continues to play under control on offense and physical defense, they will do great things.
The odds of Auburn making it to Atlanta and into the College Football Playoff are not high. Hypothetically they could go undefeated during the regular season. They will then have to face either Florida or Georgia again in the SEC Championship. Beating these two teams once will be hard enough, repeating that success in Atlanta is a whole different ball game. However, even if Auburn doesn’t make it to the SEC Championship, Malzahn shows that there is growth and opportunity for the Tigers in the future.
After so much preseason hype and pro football analyst claiming he could be the next Kyler Murray, Mond has taken a step back from last year. This year Mond looks scared in the pocket. Instead of dropping back in the pocket and running through his progressions, he looks to move out of the pocket and throw on the run. Inaccurate passes and interceptions are expected when your quarterback is constantly scrambling out of the pocket.
To Mond’s credit he is the type of quarterback who keeps plays alive. However, in this attempt to make plays Mond often forces the ball into tight coverage with poor results. A&M fans are learning to take the bad with the good, but so far this season, there’s more bad than good.
