Streaks and records: What to watch for in Week 7

Here are a few noteworthy streaks or records to keep an eye on for the 12 SEC teams scheduled to play in Week 7:

• Alabama (at Texas A&M): Crimson Tide RB Derrick Henry has scored at least 1 touchdown in 11 consecutive games, which has passed Alabama QB Terry Davis (10) for the most in school history.
• Auburn (at Kentucky): The Tigers have won eight consecutive games at Kentucky, with their last loss there coming in 1966.
• Florida (at LSU): Counting the 2014 season at Colorado State, Gators coach Jim McElwain is now 15-1 in the last 16 games he has coached.
• Georgia (vs. Missouri): Though Nick Chubb’s 13-game streak of at least 100 yards rushing came to an end at Tennessee due to a knee injury, Sony Michel kept the streak of 100-yard rushers for the team alive at 19, which spans every game over the last two seasons. Mark Richt’s teams are 72-12 when they have a 100-yard rusher.
• Kentucky (vs. Auburn): The Wildcats have won 27 consecutive games in which they have held a third quarter lead and are 9-0 under Mark Stoops when leading entering the fourth quarter.
• LSU (vs. Florida): The Tigers have won 22 consecutive games during which they have accumulated 200 or more rushing yards as a team. LSU has reached that total in each game in 2015, thanks in large part to RB Leonard Fournette.
• Mississippi State (vs. Louisiana Tech): Mississippi State is on a 10-game winning streak against non-conference opponents during regular season play.
• Missouri (at Georgia): The Tigers are on a six-game winning streak in games following a loss, dating back to the 2013 season. Missouri hasn’t lost back-to-back games since the final two contests of the 2012 season.
• Ole Miss (at Memphis): Though Hugh Freeze holds a strong reputation for taking down Alabama in consecutive seasons, he carries just a 6-11 record against ranked opponents as the Ole Miss coach into Saturday’s meeting with Memphis, which is No. 22 in the Coaches Poll.
• South Carolina (vs. Vanderbilt): The Gamecocks have won their last six games against the Commodores and 13 of the last 15 meetings since 2000.
• Texas A&M (vs. Alabama): The Aggies are 2-3 at Kyle Field in games that feature a pair of Top 10 teams, with the last game being No. 6 Texas A&M’s 49-42 loss against No. 1 Alabama in 2013.
• Vanderbilt (at South Carolina): Derek Mason’s record in SEC games stands at 0-10. He may have his best opportunity of the season to get in the win column this weekend against a struggling Gamecocks program.
