Subject: SEC Preview for September 5, 1992
Summary: Aggies invade Death Valley, Rev. Sherrill returns to Austin
Date: 30 Aug 92 22:15:32 GMT
Organization: Ramblin' Wrecks from Georgia Tech

[Note: JPT refers to the syndicated Jefferson-Pilot SEC game of the week.]

ALABAMA (11-1 in '91) hosts VANDERBILT (5-6 in '91):  Alabama had less trouble
                                                      with Vandy's I-bone
last season than anyone else, and I expect the Tide's defense to be up to
the task again.  Jay Barker and the Crimson offense may find the 'Dore
defense a bit stiffer than last season, but they won't need to score too
many to win: Alabama 20-9.
Series record: Alabama leads 47-18-2
Last meeting: Alabama won 48-17 (1991)
TV: JPT, 12:30 PM ET

AUBURN (5-6 in '91) visits OLE MISS (5-6 in '91):  Both teams are trying to
                                                   rebound from disappointing
seasons.  I think the Tigers will be more comfortable with their new
offensive scheme in '92, while Ole Miss is still trying to settle in some
new assistant coaches: Auburn 17-14.
Series record: Auburn leads 11-5
Last meeting: Auburn won 23-13 (1991)

ARKANSAS (6-6 in '91) hosts The Citadel (7-4 in '91):  The Hogs had better
                                                       take this one seriously
lest they find themselves in a struggle.  The Citadel has given I-A teams
fits at times in the past, and any win may be a treasure for the Arkies this
year: Arkansas 23-17.
First Meeting

FLORIDA (10-2 in '91) is idle.

GEORGIA (9-3 in '91) visits SOUTH CAROLINA (3-6-2 in '91):  The Dawgs look
                                                            to be the far
superior team for '92, but the 'Cocks have given them problems in
Columbia of late, and the Georgia defense is questionable.  I think
Zeier and Co. will establish themselves early and set the tone for:
Georgia 31-20.
Series record: Georgia leads 33-9-2
Last Meeting: South Carolina won 24-20 in 1989
TV: Syndicated in Georgia, South Carolina 8 PM ET

KENTUCKY (3-8 in '91) hosts Central Michigan (6-1-4 in '91):  The 'Cats
                                                              have not
had an easy time with MAC opponents recently, but haven't managed to
lose to one yet either.  An improved UK defense should be the difference:
Kentucky 24-19.
Series record: Kentucky leads 3-0
Last meeting: Kentucky won 20-17 (1990)

LSU (5-6 in '91) hosts Texas A&M (1-0):  Though the Tigers will be better
                                         than last year and are generally
tough at home, they will not be able to stay with A&M for more than a 
half.  The Aggies have a great defense in all areas, while the Bayou
Bengals will find their defensive line overpowered regularly: Texas A&M 20-10.
Series record: LSU leads 26-16-3
Last meeting: Texas A&M won 45-7 (1991)
TV: ABC, 3:30 PM ET

MISSISSIPPI STATE (7-5 in '91) visits Texas (5-6 in '91):  The Bulldogs will
                                                           find a different
Texas team from the one they faced in '91, led by new coach John Mackovic
lately of Illinois.  Look for the home team to throw the ball more, but for
Jackie Sherrill to continue his mastery of Tejas: MSU 20, Texas 16.
Series record: Mississippi State leads 1-0
Last meeting: Mississippi State won 13-6 (1991)
TV: ESPN, 7:30 PM ET

TENNESSEE (9-3 in '91) hosts SW Louisiana (2-8-1 in '91):  Even without the
                                                           recuperating
Johnny Majors, the Ragin' Cajuns will be no match for a young Vol squad
led by running backs Aaron Hayden and James Stewart.
