Who do you think will be the premiere RB in the SEC this season?

I’ll present some next level data from last season to kick it off and let you decide which is the most important factor (all numbers are among returning RBs).


Yards after contact
Tank Bigsby – 3.9
Brian Robinson – 3.8
Isaiah Spiller – 3.5
John Emery – 3.4

% of runs that went for 5+ yds
Brian Robinson – 50%
Tank Bigsby – 48%
Chris Rodriguez – 47%
Jerrion Ealy – 42%

Broken tackle rate
Tank Bigsby – 22%
Chris Rodriguez – 17%
Jerrion Ealy – 14%
Brian Robinson – 14%

If I had to choose, I’m going Tank due to his upside. Elite contact balance & explosive. Looking forward to seeing what he can do through a complete season when fully healthy.

Still doing some initial research as we head into the season. I’m terrible though. So I dont know if I would listen to anything I say. :lol:

      
While perusing a few lines like the drunken degenerate that I am, I came across a few interesting numbers about Nick Saban that was somewhat interesting:

-Since 2008, the average point spread for a Nick Saban-led team is just under -21 points.

-43 of his 162 wins (or over ¼) have come while covering at least a -21 point spread.

Madness.

For our Texas A&M friends out there: Jimbo Fisher is 24-15 ATS when favored by 21+. No other coach really comes close to that cover % since 2010.

Not even an R.I.P. brother?

What do you have against Kirby?

As a big believer in JT Daniels, I took a deep dive into how Georgia performed last year with him at QB.

Let us start with the most eyepopping number first: With JT Daniels on the field, the Bulldog offense averaged an astounding 7.5 yards per play! If we extrapolate this out over a full season, that would place the 2020 UGA offense among the top-10 most explosive offenses over the last 3 seasons.

Part of that was JT’s ability to push the ball downfield. JT had 22 completions of 20+ yards last year. That was more than 44 other FBS teams, in just 4 games!

The Bulldog offense also converted 57% on 3rd down with JT, compared to 41% without him on the field.

Georgia Offense w/ JT Daniels on the field
YPP – 7.5
Comp% - 67%
3rd Down% - 57
Offensive EPA – 70.3

Georgia Offense w/o JT Daniels on the field
YPP – 5.5
Comp% - 52%
3rd Down% - 41%
Offensive EPA – 2.9

I think UGA has the dogs to win it all this year and JT is a good bet to get at least an invite to NYC, if not win the whole thing.

What do you think?

Next year they’re moving the Championship Series to start on Saturdays (like it used to be). In true NCAA fashion, this is mostly only for TV ratings & not a decision to benefit the players.

They should push the Championship Series back another 3-4 days between games every year. Would make for a more enticing series with teams at relative full strength.

Not particularly upset with Vandy over this tbh

Yea. Unfortunately you're right.

Trying not to get too caught up in this Vandy situation, but its difficult not to be somewhat perturbed.
