By the SEC numbers

Post by Bud Lee »

Stole this from here http://espn.go.com/blog/sec
It isn't quite Words with Friends, but these numbers make for a pretty good time:

94.68: That is the percentage of capacity of home SEC ballgames this season. After five weeks of the regular season, 35 SEC games have drawn 2,657,046 fans, an average of 75,916 per game.

100: Mark Richt’s next win at Georgia and Houston Nutt’s next win at Ole Miss will be their 100th win as an SEC head coach. Richt is 99-36 (all at UGA), while Nutt is 99-67 (split between Arkansas and Ole Miss). Just for fun, Nick Saban is 96-27 as an SEC head coach, split between Alabama and LSU.

189: That's how many wins Florida and LSU have combined for since 2002. These are the two winningest programs of the past 10 years and both will meet this Saturday in Baton Rouge. The Tigers have the SEC’s top mark at 97-26 (.789) and the Gators are second at 92-31 (.748). Just for fun, the league’s best road team since 2000 -- Florida (41-17, .707) -- visits the league’s best home team since 2000 –- LSU (68-11, .861).

18: SEC teams have scored 18 defensive touchdowns this season with South Carolina scoring the most (4). Vanderbilt has three and Alabama, Auburn, LSU and Mississippi State have scored two each. Nine of the 12 SEC teams have scored a defensive touchdown thus far.

1: Vanderbilt has given up just one red zone touchdown on defense this season. The Commodores have allowed opponents in the red zone just six times altogether. The next lowest total in the SEC is Alabama, which has allowed teams in the red zone just seven times allowing four touchdowns.

20: SEC teams are allowing an average of 20 points per game, which is the lowest for the league since 2006 (19.4 points per game).

40: Tennessee has scored 40-plus points in a four-game stretch for the first time since 1995, when Tennessee scored 40-plus points in four consecutive games (49 at Arkansas, 41 at Alabama, 56 vs. South Carolina, 42 vs. So. Miss.).

289: Florida has now gone a league-high 289 consecutive games without being shut out, which is also second nationally to Michigan (341). The last time Florida was shutout came in 1988 when Auburn beat the Gators 16-0.

1.49: That's how many yards teams are averaging against Alabama on rushing plays. That leads the SEC and the nation. Alabama has also given up just one rushing touchdown this season.

1:34: That's the average length of time per review so far in SEC games this season. Thirty-seven games in the SEC have used replay, 41 plays have been stopped and 10 have been overturned.
The shocker from me is the Vandy stat...I wonder how they will do against Bama Saturday :?
