Here is the SEC total offense pecking order from 2022 in Yards Per Game:

1 Tennessee 525.5
2 Georgia 501.1
3 Mississippi 496.2
4 Alabama 477.2
5 Arkansas 471.2
6 LSU 453.0
7 Florida 424.1
8 Mississippi State 392.9
9 South Carolina 378.8
10 Auburn 378.4
11 Missouri 367.6
12 Texas A&M 361.2
13 Vanderbilt 347.3
14 Kentucky 324.7

Personally I think UF will be about the same. I think we will have less highs and lows but finish statistically near the middle of the conference again.

Better.

I think UGA will lean a bit more toward passing which generally causes an increase in passing stats. I also think the WR corps got a big bump.

I love Floridas run game but I have a hard time thinking they will be better offensively with Mertz under center.

Better. We return everyone but Boutte and he was never the same after his injury.

Better

Jaxson Dart has had a full year in the system and will take a step forward, Quinshon Judkins returns and will be the feature back all season, we return 4/5 OL starters, reports out of fall camp say that Ayden Williams and Tre Harris are going to be great receivers this year

LSU should be markedly better. Second year and first full offseason for the returning QB, Daniels.

Stud freshmen tackles from last year are now sophomores.

Top receiver Nabers and tight end Taylor return. All the running backs return and added a potential starter in ND transfer.

Losing Bryce and Gibbs is a big drop in production #s and talent.

HOPEFULLY, losing BoB for a playcaller that doesn't drive a Ferrari like an old lady headed to Sunday services is a plus.

Lots of OL talent returning. If the scheme evolves beyond Bryce just making shite happen and development/maturation gets beyond WRs all ending up in the same spot via a game plan actually schemed for the opponent, there is a chance.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Better... Our 2nd string Oline could be the first string for most every team in the league.

The presence of Brock Bowers along with another year of experience and S&C is enough to send shivers down the spine of SEC D-Cords.

Better. O-Line healed/revamped. Petrino. New, better QB. Biggest loss was Achane, but I think that Daniels, Moss, and Owens are going to do fine.

Better. Cause clearly there’s only one way to go.

In all seriousness, if we can keep Leary healthy I expect quite a bit of improvement. OL from all accounts is better and we have Coen back. Looking forward to the additions of guys like Davis to the roster at RB and Jefferson healthy.

Much better. Liam Coen is back, the offensive line is improved and we probably have the best corps of receivers we have ever had.

Probably about the same but I'll go with slightly worse for the simple fact that the bar was set so high last year.

Better. We return 77% of last year’s production. As crappy as the O was last year, it doesn’t make sense they they would regress. Still may not be very good, but logically they should be better.

About the same. Our offense will be more suited to the roster that State typically gets, but first year installation will have pains.

Better, because the Air Raid wasn’t really as great as some want to think it was for State, and the scheme shift also isn’t as drastic as some believe either.

Also State has a senior QB, a very experienced OL, and underrated skill talent.

It's going to be hard to show marked improvement with the new clock rules giving underdogs incentive to take the air out of the ball.

Does anyone think it was great? For the most part, it took the SEC exactly one game to figure it out.

Was coming in to say this. I think a better method would be to look at yards per play than yards per game, because the number of plays are going to go down a lot this year across the board which will cause total yards per game to decrease as well.

Better. Year older, healthier OL. More talented QB. And, him.
