Outside of a couple of upset scares, Week 3 in the SEC left plenty to be desired. After two incredible weeks of college football, Saturday gave fans a chance to catch their breaths.
Texas A&M won the headliner of the weekend, beating Miami 17-9. Meanwhile, Florida barely escaped against South Florida and Arkansas had a very tough time against Missouri State.
But most importantly is what the Georgia Bulldogs did to the South Carolina Gamecocks.
48-7 was the final score in Columbia, and the Dawgs look ready to repeat as national champions in 2022.
