re: 15 SEC records that will never be broken

It's crazy we had Tebow, Cam, & Johnny all within a few years if each other. We might not see another guy like those for a decade or 2.

I don't remember you assholes being around for Cam or Tebow

Didn't Donte Jackson return one, but it was called back? Maybe last year.

He did but because it was called back it doesn't count. Record is still intact...unfortunately.

There have been a few others but all have been called back due to laundry on the field.

I have no doubt he'll get a chance to try to break the 60 yard mark during the course of this season.

I do. There's plenty of kickers these days that have the leg to hit from that far out. But there's a reason it's rarely attempted. Because the chances of hitting it in a game situation are slim. In practice there's no pressure, there's not a hundred thousand people watching you, and usually when you hear of these long FGs in practice the kicker is kicking off a tee which is easier than using a holder. And once you get to 60+ it's not worth risking the field position advantage you'd give the other team if you miss, which is probable, unless it's some end of the game situation to win.. which is rare.

I'm not sure if this counts as a record but Tommy Hodson was first team All SEC QB four times. Might have been done before but I doubt if we see it again because in today's game a three time All SEC QB is very likely to declare for the draft.

What happened here? That should not be possible

63 rushes at 11.8 yards per carry is equally as impressive IMO

When Auburn set the SEC vs SEC record this past season of 543 rushing yards against Arkasad we ran 57 times for 9.5 ypc, and I thought that was beastly.


I'd say that record could technically be beatable though if you get a rushing team like Auburn has been under Gus and they get unstoppable like we were vs Arkansas, add in a few turnovers or bust a couple more long TD runs to give time for 3 or 4 more drives and that record is breakable.

Or a game like the 2014 Iron Bowl where both teams just score so fast so often that the offenses have the ball enough to do that. In that game we combined for 99 points and 1169 yards


But as crazy as that is, in 1989 Houston actually had over 1000 yards of total offense by themselves in a single game. I think that may be the most untouchable record ever

We get all of that and we get how trajectory works and geometry and inertia, etc. Waznik will get a chance when the game is not on the line. Also, with the rule change about defenders not being allowed to jump over the line - that helps. More importantly, in Waznik's case, he gets his kicks up very fast and they still have distance. His kicks are high archers from beyond 50. You'll just have to trust me and wait and see for yourself. Or, if you wanna see what all Gamecock fans already know - what a replay of our spring game and come back and see if your mind is not changed. His kicks are a sight to behold. They're super human almost. But don't take my word for it - watch it for yourself.

The most amazing thing is that he does it effortlessly. It's just smooth as silk and very quick. But the altitude he gets on his kicks are beyond description - so I understand why some who have yet to see him may find it hard to believe.

I'll put it this way. From beyond 40 they've made special plans to cable the Allstate Good Hands catch net up 15 feet higher because he kicks so many balls above the normal height and into the back of the end zone stands or off the In The Zone glass.

ETA: Here's mUSChamp talking, just minutes ago, after I posted above. At roughly the 6:00 min mark he talks about Alex Waznik kicking a FG today in the scrimmage. You know, from experience, that mUSChamp is not prone to hyperbole. https://youtu.be/0CqIN_tzZVk
