ier Marina Erakovic of New Zealand 6-4, 6-7 (7-9), 6-3.dddd

It has been a week in the SEC that we wont soon forget.Hurricane Matthew, projected to be one of the most severe storms to ever hit the east coast of Florida, caused Saturdays LSU-Florida game in Gainesville to be postponed. It has not been rescheduled.The storm also forced the postponement of Georgias game with South Carolina to Sunday with a kickoff time of 2:30 p.m. ET.So that leaves us with five games as the 2016 season reaches its halfway point. Here are some storylines to watch:When Ray Goff was the head coach at Georgia (1989-95) he had a penchant for recruiting the sons of coaches.If a coachs kid was pretty good we would sign them, said Goff. They knew how to play the game and what the game was all about. They were smart and they were disciplined.There are two coaches sons Goff will never forget:?In 1990 Georgia signed safety Will Muschamp out of the Darlington School in Rome, Ga. Muschamp broke his leg the summer before his senior season in high school and so very few schools recruited him. Muschamp walked on at Georgia, became a scholarship player, and eventually became a captain on Georgias 1994 team. Muschamps dad, Larry, was a head coach at Darlington and East Rome High School.?In February of 1994 Georgia signed Kirby Smart from Bainbridge, Ga. Smart was a Class AAA All-State player who redshirted as a freshman. He went on to become an All-SEC defensive back in 1998 and finished his career with 13 interceptions. At Bainbridge High School Smart was coached by his dad, Sonny.Both Muschamp and Smart went into the family business, which was coaching. On Sunday afternoon, 22 years after they were teammates, they will be on opposite sidelines as Georgia goes to South Carolina for a game that was moved because of Hurricane Matthew.Smart, 40, is in his first year as a head coach at Georgia.Muschamp, 45, is in his first year as the head coach at South Carolina. He was previously the head coach at Florida (2011-2014).Both of them are very motivated and very excitable, Goff said of the two. Both of them want to win and they both want to win badly.Alabama will put the nations longest winning streak (17) on the line when No. 1 Crimson Tide (5-0, 2-0 SEC) go to No. 16 Arkansas (4-1, 0-1).Arkansas is 4-17 all-time against the No. 1 ranked teams, but the Hogs are known for playing the top-ranked team really tough over the years. Dating back to the start of the AP poll in 1936, Arkansas has nine losses by eight or fewer points to the No. 1 team. Michigan is second with eight such losses.The last time Arkansas beat No. 1 was in 2007 when the Hogs upset LSU 50-48 in three overtimes on the day after Thanksgiving. Ironically, LSU would go on from that loss to win the BCS national championship.No. 9 Tennessee (5-0, 2-0) is making its first trip ever to No. 8 Texas A&M (5-0, 3-0) and a lot of people will be watching Volunteers quarterback Joshua Dobbs.Dobbs is playing some of the best football in his career. Two weeks ago he was brilliant, leading Tennessee back from a 21-0 deficit to beat Florida 38-28 in Knoxville.Last week Dobbs posted 256 yards of total offense, including a 43-yard touchdown on the last play of the game as Tennessee beat Georgia 34-31 in Athens.Hes won 11 straight games as Tennessees starting quarterback. He is 19-5 in his last 24 starts.Josh is always calm in his demeanor and our team feeds off that, said Tennessee coach Butch Jones.Both Vanderbilt (2-3, 0-2) and Kentucky (2-3, 1-2) still have hope of going to a bowl game.The winner of Saturdays game (4 p.m., SEC Network) in Lexington, Ky., will be 3-3 and still in the hunt. The loser would be 2-4 and would then have to win four of its last six games.Thats a tall order in this conference. Vanderbilt played Florida to the wire last week before losing 13-6 in Nashville. Kentucky played tough against No. 1 Alabama for a little while but was eventually overcome 34-6.I thought they played Alabama well early, said Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason. They are starting to find their identity.Auburn (3-2, 1-1) played its first five games at home. Now the Tigers will go to the road to play Mississippi State (2-2, 1-1) in what will be an important game for both teams.The game was originally scheduled for the SEC Network but was moved to ESPN after the postponement of the LSU-Florida game.Keep your eye on the Auburn offense when it gets into the red zone. Two weeks ago against LSU the Tigers made five trips inside the 20-yard line and had to settle for field goals all five times.Head coach Gus Malzahn and offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee have made some adjustments to address the problem. The changes worked last week against Louisiana-Monroe (58-7) but lets see if they work against the No. 4 defense in the SEC.Also watch Mississippi States Nick Fitzgerald, one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the SEC. Fitzgerald has run for 329 yards and passed for 603 more. Hell be the focal point of an Auburn defense that is rated No. 5 in the SEC (356.3 yards per game).Custom Tony Phillips Jersey .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.
