Bowers had 882 and 13 receiving
Tillman had 1081 and 12 receiving

But if you want to add in rushing then Hooker had 3565 and 36/3
Bennett had 3121 and 30/7

And Small 792 to McIntosh 328

More production across the board in fewer games.

Last word is yours in this one, you don’t have to like it but the Vols are a at a significant advantage on O compared to UGAs O.

I'll take a hit on not including rushing yards for the QB's... but using total yards for some and just one stat for others is kind of misleading.

The reality though is 3565 over 467 touches is 7.6 yards per touch.

3121 yards over 343 touches is 9.1 yards per touch.

Running more plays doesn't make a player or offense better. It's what you do with each play. Bennett did more... just like McIntosh did more (7.1 yards per touch compared to 5.8 yards per touch for Small). The TD numbers also both favor the UGA players. Tillman did out yardage Bowers (15.6 to 16.9 for Tillman), but Bowers had 2 more TD with 4 less touches. THat is a toss up in my book.

UGA does in fact run an offense to burn clock when they have a big lead. That's why Bennett had all of 2 pass attempts in the 4th quarter against UT while UT's QB's had 15. Passing more and running more plays is not a sign of a better offense. That's a sign of being behind and having to pass to have a chance.
