Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
How many on this board knew that 11 different times this season did SEC teams in either conference games or against other power 5 teams fail to throw the ball for over 100 yards in a game ...
Stunningly ... some of those teams actually won the game.
Just another example of how the SEC is the greatest conference ... right?

One of those games was a driving wind storm game between Utah and Oregon St ... another of the games was Arizona who only threw the ball 8 times total against STD U since they ran for 512 yards on the ground.

What it is intended to say/show is that when looking at Alabama's numbers, I do think that you have to take some of it with a grain of salt given that the other teams in the conference are a dumpster fire. I'm amused by this thought that Auburn is going to give Oklahoma a close game ... let's just say I'll be interested.
In general, my thoughts about the SEC as a whole is that it's not uncommon for them to run 9-10 guys up within 5-7 yards of the line of scrimmage. There's a lot of 1 yard and a cloud of dust as a result of how aggressive they are. On the other hand, there are a lot of big play opportunities that result from that ... particularly in the passing game. The SEC doesn't have a lot of good QBs in the league ... simple truth. Another thing that I see with the league and their defenses is that a lot of those big plays are created because of simply blown assignments ... motion can really fuck with them.
Turnovers are huge in the SEC ... occur at a far higher level than in the PAC.
