It's taken a few weeks for our line to gel due to fewest returning starters in the SEC combined with new OL coach. They've improved drastically from week one though.

Ours will go down obviously but Jim Turner is a miracle worker. Really impressed with our OL considering we have three freshmen starting on the interior and Auburn's DL looked pretty salty against Clemson

4.34 YPC vs Wisconsin
4.54 YPC vs Mississippi State

Tennessee's has been bad across the board (4.28 vs ASU, 4.13 vs VT, 2.93 vs Ohio).

Georgia had 1 big game and 1 bad game.

Georgia's OL would be a middling unit in FCS

What in the world happened there? UGA was supposed to have an at very worst average OL unit this year weren't they?

Not really. They sucked last year too and had to replace the two tackles.

Our LT is a transfer from Rhode Island, our senior center might as well play in roller blades, and our RG is a rotation between two very raw young players.

Our LG and RT are SEC players.

Opponents of those 3 teams know they have good backfields and crowd the box.

Injuries to Fournette and the lingering injury to Chubb have some to do with it, but I think it's mainly that all three of those teams have issues throwing the ball. LSU has made a change, Georgia is a mess, and Dobbs can't complete a pass further than 5 yards.

Not so far

Teams are also loading the box. That's why Eason threw 55 times against Mizzou. If he does that a couple more times, maybe they'll back off.

This is roughly the 6th stat based thread I've posted this morning (and perhaps the 374th I've posted since the start of last season).
