No. 6 Georgia at No. 15 Tennessee highlights Week 3 SEC matchups

What to watch over for this hebdomad in the Southeastern group discussion:

No. 6 peach state at No. 15 tennessee river , Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET

Georgia faces its toughest test yet on the road at No. 15 Tennessee. Transfer quarterback Joey Aguilar has fueled Tennessee’s 2-0 start, throwing for 535 yards and five touchdowns in two games.

The Bulldogs dropped from No. 4 to No. 6 in this week’s Top 25 after a slow start against Austin Peay, leading just 14-3 at halftime before pulling away for a 28-6 win.

Georgia beat Tennessee 31-17 last November thanks to an efficient outing by former Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck. Georgia leads the series 29-23-2 all-time and has won the the last eight.

Florida at No. 3 LSU , Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET

Billy Napier and the Florida Gators have much to prove after an 18-16 home loss to South Florida. Unfortunately for the Gators, the road doesn’t get any easier with a trip to Death Valley and then two more ranked teams. An upset could steady Florida’s shaky start — and Napier’s job security — but it will need to come against LSU's 11th-ranked defense and Heisman hopeful QB Garrett Nussmeier.

No. 16 Texas A&M at No. 8 Notre Dame, Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET

A road win over a top-10 opponent would boost the Aggies’ status as SEC contenders. The Fighting Irish will be itching to avoid an 0-2 start after a close loss to Miami in the opener. A fun contrast of QBs in A&M's do-it-all Marcel Reed and promising newcomer CJ Carr for the Irish.

— Ole Miss RB Kewan Lacey, who rushed for 108 yards and three touchdowns in the the 63-7 rout of Georgia State and then added 138 rushing yards and a score against Kentucky. Lacey’s 246 rushing yards lead the SEC through Week 2.

— Beau Pribula i s largely to thank for Missouri’s 2-0 start and new Top 25 status. The transfer quarterback from Penn State led the No. 25 Tigers to a 42-31 win over Kansas, completing 30 of 39 passes for 334 yards and three touchdowns. Pribula’s 617 passing yards are second in the SEC. The Tigers have Louisiana-Lafayette up next.
