College football season is divided into four very distinct months:?September: The month where teams start to get a reality check on how good they are -- or are not. Most teams play one strong intersectional game and a couple of conference games. After that you pretty much have no illusions about your football team.?October: The football equivalent to golfs Moving Day. October is when the legitimate contenders put themselves into position to make a championship run.?November: They remember what you do in November. The month usually includes a big rivalry game and a conference game that will make the difference in winning the division.?December: If youre still alive on Championship Saturday, the first week of December is when you play your way into the playoff.So we have finished September and the SEC championship race is beginning to take shape. On Saturday October arrives. The preliminaries are over. It is time to play some big boy football.Here are the best storylines for Saturday, Oct. 1:??Life without Les beginsLSU (2-2, 1-1 SEC) fired Coach Les Miles last Sunday after an 18-13 loss at Auburn. Defensive line coach Ed Orgeron, who previously served as an interim head coach at USC, has vowed that he will get the Tigers excited about playing again, starting with Saturdays home game with Missouri (2-2, 0-1) on SEC Network.The key is whether or not Orgeron and his new offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger can breathe some life into a listless offense that has only averaged 16.6 points against three FBS opponents.Orgeron has insisted that the slate has been wiped clean and that Saturday represents the beginning of a new eight-game season.Were just going to coach them like heck and see what happens, said Orgeron.??Alabama tunes up for the toughest schedule in the countryWith all due respect to Kentucky (2-2, 1-1), we do not expect the Wildcats to keep it close when they go to No. 1 Alabama (4-0, 1-0) on Saturday.In fact, this will be the 40th time Kentucky has met Alabama. Kentucky has won just twice (1922, 1997) and the Wildcats have never won in Tuscaloosa.Kentucky stumbled out of the gate with losses to Southern Miss (44-35) and Florida (45-7) but has picked up a little momentum with two straight wins over New Mexico State (62-42) and South Carolina (17-10).Its going to be a tremendous challenge for us, said Mark Stoops, the head coach at Kentucky.Here is where Alabama is. The Crimson Tide played one of their most complete games of the season last week beating Kent State 48-0. After this week Alabama faces the toughest stretch of any team in football as they play at Arkansas (3-1), at Tennessee (4-0), Texas A&M (4-0) at home, and then at LSU (2-2) on Nov. 5.??Ditto for TennesseeThe Volunteers played what I believe was their best half of football in 10 years when they rallied from a 21-0 deficit to beat Florida 38-28. Now Tennessee (4-0, 1-0), which has been waiting to get back into this position for a long time, has a clearly marked path to the SEC championship. But just because the path is clear it doesnt mean it will be easy.We have to build on what weve done, said coach Butch Jones. We dont take a step back.Tennessee goes to Georgia (3-1, 1-1), a place where the Vols havent won since 2006. Georgia is a team with its back to the wall after getting hammered last week at Ole Miss (45-14). If Tennessee can beat the Bulldogs, it will go to Texas A&M undefeated next week and then host Alabama on Oct. 15.But for those games to be huge, Tennessee has to take care of business at Sanford Stadium.??Looking for a dark horse? Take a closer look at Texas A&MRight now No. 1 Alabama looks to be head and shoulders above the rest of the SEC. But if youre looking around for a team that could upset the Crimson Tide, take a look at the Aggies (4-0, 2-0), who go to South Carolina (2-2, 1-2 SEC) on Saturday.The Aggies were most impressive last week in pulling away from a good Arkansas team to win 45-24. Texas A&M has significantly improved in the areas it wanted to this season: The Aggies lead the SEC in rushing (269.25 ypg) and are fifth in rushing defense (125.25) after finishing 13th last season. Texas A&M held Arkansas to only 120 rushing yards on 40 carries. In one stretch of the game Arkansas had seven snaps inside the Aggies 10-yard line and did not score a touchdown.After South Carolina, they face two other teams that are currently undefeated. They host Tennessee next week and go to Alabama on Oct. 22.Here are some other quick storylines for Saturday:Arkansas (3-1, 0-1) is still juggling its offensive line against Alcorn State (1-2). This will be Arkansass yearly game in Little Rock. The contract to play one Arkansas game per year at War Memorial Stadium ends after the 2018 season.Auburn (2-2, 1-1) steps out of the conference to host Louisiana-Monroe (1-2). The Tigers won an emotional 18-13 game against LSU last week and continue to work on their red zone offense. Auburn had six trips into the LSU red zone last week and did not score a touchdown.Florida (3-1, 1-1) goes to Vanderbilt (2-2, 0-1) where it hopes to get back on track after losing to Tennessee. Remember this: Vanderbilts best player is running back Ralph Webb, who hails from Gainesville, Fla. He had 118 yards rushing last season when Florida needed a late field goal to beat the Commodores 9-7.Ole Miss (2-2, 1-1) has a revenge game when it hosts Memphis (3-0). The Rebels lost to the Tigers 37-24 last season at the Liberty Bowl. Ole Miss will then have a week off before going to Arkansas on Oct. 15.

Olli Jokinen, Mark Scheifele, and Bryan Little each had a goal and an assist as Winnipeg won 5-2, handing Calgary its record-setting seventh consecutive loss on home ice. Alabama fans are hoping the third time is the charm as the Crimson Tide travel to Ole Miss on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET) at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. CBS will telecast the SEC opener for both teams.The 19th-ranked Rebels have beaten the top-ranked Tide in back-to-back seasons, including a 43-37 victory last year in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The Rebels won 23-17 in 2014, the last time the two teams played in Oxford, Miss.Last year, Alabama went from the loss at home to go on to win the national title. In 2014, the Tide didnt lose again until the semifinal setback to Ohio State in the playoffs.I think it is a combination of the confidence that has been set through playing them the four years we have been here, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said, And playing them early is advantageous.Tide coach Nick Saban is hoping that his players have learned from the mistakes that have cost his team the early season setback in each of the last two years. Alabama turned the ball over five times in last years matchup with the Rebels.Heading into this one, Alabama is looking to clean up some of its issues with penalties. The Tide committed 12 penalties in last weekends win over Western Kentucky with the majority of those coming on the offense.I think the focus for us needs to be on better execution as a team, said Saban, who has never lost three years in a row to the same team in his 10-year stint at Alabama. I talked about this after the game and after viewing the film.When we have issues, when we give up plays on defense, when we have negative plays on offense, it really comes from the fact that our fundamental execution is not really what it needs to be. I think that we have to spend the time in practice to get the fundamental execution that we need.I think this helps everyone play better, it benefits everybody, and I think it benefits the unit that you play on. Playing in the SEC, playing against better teams, playing on the road -- all these things are definitely things we need to emphasize and improve on.ddddddddddddreshman Jalen Hurts is expected to get the start at quarterback for the Tide and is backed up by redshirt freshman Blake Barnett. Barnett started the opener against USC while Hurts started against Western Kentucky.I know you all are going to ask me about the quarterbacks, Saban said at his weekly media session previewing the game, but we are going to continue to work with both of the quarterbacks. We have to try to get them better.While Alabama comes into the game with two wins in two outings, the Rebels have split their first two games, bouncing back from an opening loss to Florida State to coast past FCS-foe Wofford last week.The Rebels are looking to get more out of their running game against the Tide than they did against the Seminoles, when they managed to rush for only 67 yards. Freeze notes that wont be easy.He said Alabamas consistently stout defensive front seven may be faster than any Sabans had, which will challenge an Ole Miss offense that struggled in the second half against Florida State and averaged less than three yards a carry against the Seminoles. The Crimson Tides defense has also scored more touchdowns (two) than it has allowed (one).I think we have to find a way to get some dirty yards, and I think we can, Freeze said. I believe in our guys that we can. But if you think were going to line up and rush for 300 yards against this team, that doesnt happen.Flipping to the other side, Ole Miss defense will see an offense that still leans on a running game in averaging 183 rushing yards per game. The emergence of Hurts at quarterback, however, has given teams more to worry about with his legs and a strong arm to stretch defenses. ' ' '
