For even more detail, check below for SEC Statcat's notes on each down! Quite frankly, there wasn't enough time to mention ALL of them in the Special! 

Alabama:

1: Keeping up with the Jones (Mac Jones stats)

- 1st in OVERALL Accuracy% (73.9%), Adj Comp (87.8%), DAA% (62.4%), 1DTD% (58.2%), Explosive Pass Rate (17.8%), Y/A (13.1)

3: Elephant in the Room - (how Sark’s offense is nearly impossible to pin down)

- Alabama uses most motions in SEC. Dizzying array of eye candy that threatens the edge and horizontally stretches the defense. 1st Motion% (37.1% next closest 20.8%), 5th Jet (9.65%), 1st Orbit (7.31%) — consistent mix on runs/passes 

- If teams sink they will attack the flat with their speed in space. If teams press, they aim to take off deep. Jones has top PA Rate (35.6%). Always on the attack. 2 Deep gets run or misdirection, 1 Deep pass

*BIG change from being bottom5/3 Across the board last year in SEC play

2. Let me be Franks (Feliepe Franks with Kendall Briles)

PAST: accurate, PA reliant, conservative despite good arm talent, poor decision-making with TWT

2020: accurate, PA reliant, overly conservative despite arm talent, keeping the ball safe

Briles letting FF play to his strengths: 

- Top4 Accuracy% (66.4%), Adj Comp (79.6%), Defender Breakup (7.03%), DAA% (59.3%), Interceptable Pass Rate (5.47%), Uncatchable Pass Rate (13.3%), AVR number of Blockers (6.58), Deep Adj Comp% (45.5%)

- 5th lowest average distance to gain on 3D runs, only 2 total HAVOC plays

Auburn:

1. Broke Nix? (Nix splits year over year, issues)

2. The Tank is locked and loaded (min 17 att)

1st in First Down Runs (23)

Top3 in Rush Yards (432), Y/C (5.84), Broken Tackles (31), BT Rate (41.9%),

LSU:

1. Terrace Marshall Jr = Cris Carter 

- CC 130 TDs across 1515 targets (1101 catches) TD Rate of 11.8%

Carter gets rep for only catching touchdowns thanks this his 3rd season (11 TDs, 45 catches 24.4% TD Rate) While the degree of difficulty is higher in the NFL, TMJ is putting up stats that scream most of his catches matter. 

- Owned SEC’s Catching Success Rate (66.7%) in 2019 and 1DTD% (57.7%) while catching 11/13 RZ tgts with 10 TDs

- Higher SR YOY 70.3% (2nd) with slightly lower 1DTD% 54.1% (6th). TD Rate is 3x Carter’s (33.3%)

HAVOC:

OVR 21.7% (1st), P 17.4% (1st), R 28.4% (2nd)

4. The Tigers’ new stripes (offensive changes)

- IZ Slam Reads lead - same Play Share (17.5%), production has soured (-1.9 Y/C, -6.5% SR)

- Inserts usage up, but appears to be matchup-based (17 reps, 76.5% SR, 7.41 Y/A) 6th most yards

- Running All Verts more, most targeted Concept (7.82% Play Share, 43.5% SR - 2.6%, 48% in 2019)

- Dagger is coming back with a vengeance 6 reps 83.3% SR, 28.3 Y/A

- Less Corners, Comebacks, Levels

** despite most-run play being bad, Rushing SR up ~+5%, pass down ~-12% 

** Though great preventing pressure, Brennan is AWFUL on 3rd Down (19.2% SR, 41.7% AVR)

Miss State:

1. Time to hoist the Jolly Rogers ? (a case for Will Rogers to start)

2. Over the Hill (looking at the remaining RBs with Hill gone)

** Hill of course looked potent in the opener and held 2nd-best Catching Success Rate on team )48.3%)

3. Bully of a defense (not a crazy offensive slate, but holding its own)

Success Rate: 

OVR 58.5% (4th), P 58.5% (4th), R 53.3% (9th)

Early Down: 

OVR 56.9% (6th), P 53.9% (6th), R 55.5% (9th)

4. The favorite looks of the Air Raid so far

a) Mesh, Mesh, Mesh!!! 40 reps (13.2% Share), 269 yards (17.5% Share), 6.73 Y/A, 40% Success Rate

b) Trail Variations: 24 reps, 128 yards, 5.33 Y/A    Trails have 50% SR (mostly RB variety), Follow+R Wheel

c) All Verts: 17 reps, 134 yards, 7.88 Y/A 35.3% Success Rate

d) Screens: 19 reps 96 yards, 5.05 Y/A 42.1% Success Rate

e) Stick: 15 reps, 63 yards, 4.20 Y/A 46.7% Success Rate

f) Shallow 15 reps, 106 yards, 7.07% 40.0% Success Rate

g) Chinas 12 reps, 48 yards 4.00 33.33% Success Rate

• and they checked downed 12x and turned to Its 34 times…

Ole Miss:

1. OK Corral? (is he bad or is he good?)

Still great under pressure but when predetermining RPO throws or misreading zones in clean situations has undercut his tremendous start. The poor 10+ passing of late is DAMNING

2. We Want some Moore (Elijah moore stats)

- 1st in yards (595), catches (47), Target Share (38.2%), 3rd Down Target Share (48.3%)

- Top3 in targets (58), 1D+TD catches (29), 3D catches and targets

3. The Lane Train (offense year over year vs SEC)

SCHEMES

1. IZ Reads (even mix of Bluff/Slam but Bluffs better): 22% Play Share, 15% Yard Share, 51.7% SR, 4.46 Y/A

3. Slant Variations, usually attached to IZ Reads: 6% Play Share, 6.6% Yard Share, 66.7% SR, 7.21 Y/A

5. OZ Read, Lane wants to work the edges, bad returns: 5% Play Share, 2.7% Yard Share, 25% SR, 3.55 Y/A

Mesh 8(50%), Slants 14 (50%), All Verts 8 (0%), Floods 10 (40%) favorite passes

Missouri:

1. Have a Drinkwitz (offensive creativity)

Most creative scheme in the SEC. Getting the most out of a lackluster roster. Playing to his QBs strengths and scheming space in the run game. 48 concepts with at least one rep

IZ Read+OZ most called looks 13.6% Play Share similar Yard Share ~10.5%

Tackle Counter Reads only other play with at least 20 reps 52.4% SR, 5.71 Y/A

• below average YAC all three years. When below average YBC, no instances of SR over 50%
• Mizzou 9th in YBC, 13th in YAC

South Carolina:

1. King of the Hill (hill’s numbers versus hilinski’s last year)

3. BoBoffense (Mike Bobo’s influence on offense year over year)

SCHEMES

• increased IZ Looks —> Slams with occasional Slashes: executing Slam Reads has helped run game!
• Good amount of I formation: Iso 3.6% Play Share, 53.6% SR, 10.6 Y/A
• Base similar numbers 
• PA Boot most targeted pass followed by Slants, check downs, Smashes, mesh, all verts, levels

Tennessee:

1. Guarant — I don’t know

2. Manilla offense (schemes, bland tactics) —> leads to horrible 3rd Down Success

IZ Zone with Slants — shots and some crosses. so bland and predictable and boring

Heavy run on early down (with bad returns) sets JG up to fail.  

3. Gray Area (eric gray stats)

Talent is there but thanks to the style of play, his returns are not great at all…
