SEC QB stats predictions

I think Mason is going to finish top 3 in completion percentage.

For starters, we have the best WR group in the league. Second, we have the best RB stable as well, so with him being "new" we're going to rely on the ground a lot. As such, most of his throws are probably going to be pretty low risk/safe throws. We aren't going to have him bombing away. I think all that adds up to a top 3 in the category.

Plus, he set some state of GA passing records so it's not like the guy isn't capable.

So the returning pass yardage leader doesn't even crack your top 3?

I really think Bo Wallace is going to surprise a lot of y'all this year.

I don't know if Mauk will be #1, but wouldn't be surprised if he's top 3.

SEC leader in rushing- 1) marshall 2) Prescott 3) Driskel

Mauk will be top 3 here, likely replacing Driskel.

Completion percentage- 1) Thompson 2) mauk 3 k.allen

I'm going to guess Mauk will NOT be top 3 here. His completion percentage last year was only slightly better than 50%. He has apparently worked on it and impressed during the spring as far as his accuracy goes, but I'd still be shocked if he finishes top 3.

This should just be called the "explain why your teams' QB will lead in every category" thread.

SEC Passing = Bo
SEC Rushing = Marshall
Passing TD's = Marshall
Rushing TD's = Dak
Completion % = Bo

Leader in passing - 1. K. Allen, 2. Wallace 3. Thompson
Leader in rushing - 1. Marshal 2. Prescott 3. Driskel
Passing TD's - 1. Wallace, 2. K. Allen, 3. Mason
Rushing TD's - 1. Prescott 2. Marshal 3. Driskel
Completion percentage - 1. Driskel 2. K. Allen, 3. Wallace/Coker

Note about these rankings:

1. Completion percentage is a lot about the offense run. TAMU, UF, Alabama, and OM will all run offenses that provide a lot of "easier" short throws that leads decent QB's to have high completion percentage.

2. Marshal and Prescott are going to dominate the QB rushing stats as long as they stay healthy. I don't think anyone will even come close to them in terms of TD's. Driskel or Wallace will be a distant third, depending on who starts at QB for Vandy - because they have some runners at QB there.

3. I think Kyle Allen (or any decent QB that starts for TAMU) will lead the conference in passing. That, IMO, is the best offense in the SEC, all around, and should put up good numbers each year as long as the QB isn't garbage.

Bo Wallace will have the highest completion percentage. When a QB only throws bubble screens, you tend to have a high completion percentage.
