Missouri, Kentucky have the spotlight as lone SEC matchup

Associated Press  

Here are things to watch in the Southeastern Conference in Week 2: GAMES OF THE WEEK Missouri visits Kentucky. Other notable games matching SEC schools against the Atlantic Coast Conference continue with Tennessee hosting Pittsburgh and Mississippi State hosting North Carolina State. The units won’t be on the field together, but they rank 13th and 14th respectively in total defense, with the Panthers allowing 10 fewer yards per game than the Volunteers. Tennessee faces an additional task of slowing Pitt’s fifth-ranked offense that’s averaging 598 yards per game after shellacking UMass 51-7 last week. Panthers quarterback Kenny Pickett ranks third in ACC total offense at 311 yards per game and directs a unit that ran 86 plays last week to lead the league.
