re: Since 2000, What SEC Team Has Overachieved & Underachieved Most?

He had 34 touches that game for 233 yards. The next closest player had 4 touches. He was their entire offense and in typical Gustav fashion, he had no idea how to adapt when Kerryon got hurt.

I've never thought of an injured player as a reason for a loss who played the entire game.

In the national championship game, UGA lost our best wide receiver and our best pass rusher. Hurt. Out for the remainder of the game. It happens and it is a reason why depth is so important.

Kerryon had more rush attempts than Sony or Chubb in the SECCG.

I'm not a Bama fan... but in your "if only player X hadn't gotten hurt..." questions, did player X continue to play? Nobody does that except Auburn because they cant rationalize anything else. Kerryons effectiveness was from that awesome jump cut. Every Auburn fan said that the shoulder wouldn't affect the jump cut leading into the game. A running backs legs are more important (i.e. Herschel with the dislocated shoulder in the national championship game).
