re: Good luck Kevin Steele, Gus is expecting a lot outta ya.

Arkansas is also #1 nationally in % of tackles returning, but you probably wouldn't post that.

Maybe that's the problem. The SEC's worst defense returns pretty much everyone.

Do you want to post offensive stats? You can compare Arkansas and Georgia if you want.

Sure. Arkansas ranked #2 in the SEC in Offensive Yards per play... Georgia ranked #5. Now put the offensive and defensive numbers together to see which teams were the best at out-gaining their opponents per play:

1. Ole Miss: +2.02 yards/play
2. Alabama: +1.59
3. LSU: +1.53
4. Georgia: +1.27
5. Miss. St.: +1.14
6. Arkansas: +0.76
7. Florida: +0.46
8. Tennessee: +0.35
9. Texas A&M: +0.17
10. Missouri: +0.06
11. Auburn: +0.02
12. Kentucky: -0.08
13. S. Carolina: -0.42
14. Vanderbilt: -0.67

Oh. Would you rather look at it from a points perspective? Scoring Offense minus Scoring Defense per game:

1. Alabama: +20.0 pts/game
2. Ole Miss: +18.2
3. Tennessee: +15.2
4. Miss. St.: +11.2
5. Georgia: +9.4
6. LSU: +8.5
6. Arkansas: +8.5
8. Texas A&M: +5.8
9. Florida: +4.9
10. Auburn: +1.5
11. Missouri: -2.6
12. Kentucky: -2.7
13. S. Carolina: -5.6
14. Vanderbilt: -5.8

That was fun. Thanks for playing.
