The league is known for its top teams playing solid defense, but few SEC teams put up much of a defensive fight Saturday. The average score of the seven conference games played was 41-26. Five of those matchups featured teams gaining at least 700 yards, with two games surpassing 1,000 yards apiece.
Quarterback Mac Jones and tailback Najee Harris combined for 623 of Alabama’s 723 yards Saturday, accounting for seven of the team’s nine touchdowns during a 63-48 win over Ole Miss.
