The SEC’s 3 best individual matchups this weekend

Welcome to our Friday List, which is a ranking of the top three SEC football individual matchups for the upcoming weekend.

All three matchups this week are receiver-cornerback “contests.”

3. Kentucky WR Garrett Johnson vs. Florida CB Jalen Tabor

The particulars: Johnson is a 5-feet 11, 175-pound junior; Tabor is a 6-0, 201-pound junior.
The skinny: Johnson, nicknamed “Juice,” is UK’s most dangerous receiver. He is an Orlando native who torched the Gators in 2014 as a true freshman (six catches, 154 yards, two TDs), but he was held in check last season (one catch for 10 yards).
