Scoring was up slightly among SEC offenses as a whole this season. Of course, none like that of Missouri, which more than doubled its average points per game over the 2015 season. Will there be a similar breakout team in 2017?

Here’s a closer look at each SEC offense, the number of points averaged per game in 2016, and if they’ll be better or worse in 2017.

Better

Auburn (31.2) – With JUCO transfer Jarrett Stidham coming in at quarterback and two of the top running backs in the conference in Kamryn Pettway and Kerryon Johnson, the Tigers might have the best offense in the SEC next season if the receiving corps matures and the line holds up.

Florida (23.9) – A more experienced and improved line should help as QBs Feleipe Franks and Luke Del Rio develop. Receivers Antonio Callaway and Tyrie Cleveland are among the conference’s best and RB Jordan Scarlett could crack 1,000 yards.

Georgia (24.5) – How can you go wrong with Nick Chubb and Sony Michel in the backfield? A more experienced QB Jacob Eason should improve on his numbers (2,430 yards, 16 TDs) as well. If the line can jell, this could be among the most potent offenses in the SEC.

Kentucky (30.0) – A veteran offensive line should make for a big season. Benny Snell looks to have another 1,000-yard season at running back and the return of Drew Barker from injury should make the quarterback battle an interesting one.

Mississippi State (30.4) – A year of experience should make QB Nick Fitzgerald even better. He loses his top receiver in Fred Ross but still has some talent to work with, including WR Donald Gray and others.

Missouri (31.4) – Drew Lock had a breakout season at quarterback (3,399 yards, 23 TDs) as did RB Damarea Crockett (1,062 yards). With a line returning intact along with a receiving corps that includes J’Mon Moore, the SEC leader at 84.3 receiving yards per game, the Tigers will look to run up the score again in 2017.

Vanderbilt (23.0) – Running back Ralph Webb is a threat again after turning in back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. And if QB Kyle Shurmur can continue to improve with a plethora of receivers returning, the Commodores should improve on last season’s output.

Worse

Alabama (38.8) – The Tide are looking for a new offensive coordinator, but the pieces are in place for another big season. With Jalen Hurts calling signals and both Bo Scarbrough and Damien Harris in the backfield, moving the football shouldn’t be a problem. How it performs under a new OC is the big question.

Arkansas (30.3) – With QB Austin Allen and RBs Rawleigh Williams and Devwah Whaley returning, the Razorbacks should be able to put points on the board. But until a line comes together and a receiving corps can be solidified, it won’t be as good as last year’s.

LSU (28.3) – It will be interesting to see what new OC Matt Canada can do with this offense. Certainly, RB Derrius Guice will be featured, but until a solid quarterback can be established, whether it be returner Danny Etling or former starter Brandon Harris, it’s difficult to see improvement.

Ole Miss (32.6) – New OC Phil Longo will break in QB Shea Patterson as his leader. It is inconceivable that the Rebels could match last season’s output, although the pieces are in place to have a good offense nevertheless.

South Carolina (20.8) – With a defensive-minded head coach, the Gamecocks lacked offensively. That trend looks to continue in 2017 with question marks along a porous offensive line. But some good, young talent returns, so there is some hope.

Tennessee (36.4) – The Vols will have to find a way to replace their quarterback, top running back and top receiver. On top of that, the line must improve drastically over the 25 sacks it allowed in 2016. All of that points to a down year offensively for the Vols.

Texas A&M (34.8) – Big questions loom about the Aggies’ offense. A new quarterback will be introduced and much of a talented receiving corps is gone. How OC Noel Mazzone handles the situation will be interesting to see, but all signs point to a down year.
