re: SEC Returning OL - Highest Pressure % Allowed

Getting access to the new PFF college football premium stats has opened my eyes up to a lot of things I just didn't know much about previously.

For instance the OL grades are verrrrryyyyyyy interesting.

Tennessee's OL last year was pretty absysmal...
- Wanya Morris and Darnell Wright both graded out below a 40, making them among the worst in CFB. Marcus Tatum and K'Rojhn Calbert both graded out under a 53 as well...those are abysmal OT numbers; Jahmir Johnson graded out at 72.5 at OT which is quite good but played the least amount of snaps of anyone for Tennessee at OT I previously listed

- Their interior OL was also quite bad except for Trey Smith who graded out just under 80 which is very good...Locklear and Carvin both under 60 and the center Kennedy also just under 60. Kennedy and Locklear were both at least close to 60, but Carvin was nearly at 50 which is not good.


On the flip side of things, you hear a lot about how good UK's OL was, and it's no joke, the best OLine in the conference last year probably as a unit. UGA had a small chink in the chain, Bama is also very comparable though to UK
- Of the UK primary 5 starters; Jackson, Sternberg and Fortner inside as well as Young and Kinnard on the outside...NONE of them graded out below a 75.3, that's incredible.
- UGA's OL by comparison had Cade Mays grade out at 65.5 (everyone else good to great)
- UA's OL by comparison had Dickerson at 77.9, Brown close to 75, Neal just over 71, Leatherwood a 74 and Wills an incredibly 88.7. So I'd say right there with UK, just a couple guys slightly lower than UK's "worst"


For those not plugged into PFF's grading system, their college ratings basically go somewhat like this:
90-100 = Elite of elite
80-89 = Great to Elite
70-79 = Good to Very good
60-69 = Average range
50-59 = Mediocre
40-49 = Bad
Below 40 = Awful
