re: SEC Stats : Explosive Plays Allowed Defense

That seems like a statistical oddity that the best team is allowing 10 10+ yards ppg and the worst is only allowing 16. I would expect that to be a wider margin.

I mean, 6 more 10+ yard plays is quite a few. Assuming half are 12, 1 is 25 and one is 40 yards.......that's almost 100 more yards per game in big plays. And that doesn't include the difference in a team like Alabama giving up 2 yards per standard rush vs a team like USCe giving up 4 yards per standard rush (another 50-60 yards per game).
