Here are the SEC statistical leaders after Week 1 of the 2024 season

Week 1 of SEC football will officially wrap up on Sunday night after LSU takes on USC.

Every other SEC team has played in Week 1, and it was a wild start to the season.

Offensively, quarterbacks Nico Iamaleava and Jaxson Dart looked even better than advertised, while receivers Trey Harris and Ryan Williams began their season with 130+ yards receiving.

Defensively, Ole Miss had no problem racking up sacks against Furman, while Alabama’s Keon Sabb was the lone player to secure multiple interceptions.
