We saw some monster numbers from several SEC players (and teams) in Week 3. Let’s take a look at which ones stood above the rest from a numbers perspective.

Most passing yards (individual)

Ole Miss’ Chad Kelly gave the Tide all it could handle, but his costly turnovers would sink the Rebs in the end. Drew Lock and the Dogs’ Jacob Eason had a duel in Columbia with Lock having more yards, but Eason pulling out the win. Mark Stoops finally found some offense.

  • Chad Kelly, Ole Miss – 421 yards, 3 TDs
  • Drew Lock, Mizzou — 376 yards, 3 TDs
  • Stephen Johnson, Kentucky — 310 yards, 3 TDs

Most rushing yards (individual)

It was a track meet in Lexington through the first half with both phases of the offense tearing up New Mexico State. Leonard Fournette was his usual self against Mississippi State (other than the fumbles), and QB Jalen Hurts was the best rushing option for the Tide.

  • Boom Williams, Kentucky — 181 yards, 1 TDs
  • Leonard Fournette, LSU — 147 yards, 2 TDs
  • Jalen Hurts, Alabama — 146 yards, 0 TD

Most receiving yards (individual)

Monster day for J’Mon Moore, but he’d gladly trade it in to prevent his game-ending fumble that sealed Georgia’s win. Evan Engram got loose on the Tide, and C.J. Conrad was another part of UK’s romp at the cupcake factory.

  • J’Mon Moore, Mizzou — 196 yards, 2 TD
  • Evan Engram, Ole Miss — 138 yards, 1 TD
  • C.J. Conrad, Kentucky — 133 yards, 3 TD

Most total yards (team)

Again, Kentucky dominates the offensive leaderboards, but let’s not forget it was tied with New Mexico State at the half. Alabama-Ole Miss was an absolute shootout, and both teams can say they executed their game plans.

  • Kentucky (vs. New Mexico State) — 692 yards
  • Ole Miss (vs. Alabama) — 527 yards
  • Alabama (vs. Ole Miss) — 492 yards

Most rushing yards (team)

Somehow Alabama is second, despite being led by its QB in rushing. Not exactly what Nick Saban and Lane Kiffin would like, but I bet they’re happy with that – and the W against Ole Miss.

  • Kentucky (vs. New Mexico State) — 381 yards
  • Alabama (vs. Ole Miss) — 334 yards
  • Florida (vs. North Texas) — 255 yards

Most rushing yards allowed (team)

Vandy thought it had the market cornered on gold teams that run the ball. Well, it got run out of the building against Georgia Tech. Auburn’s offense has been a work in progress since Nick Marshall’s departure, but Gus Malzahn can always run the ball.

  • Ole Miss (vs. Alabama) — 334 yards
  • Vanderbilt (vs. Georgia Tech) — 289 yards
  • Texas A&M (vs. Auburn) — 236 yards

Fewest rushing yards allowed (team)

Florida and Arkansas grounded their easy matchups into the turf. Mississippi State continued to struggle on the ground.

  • Florida (vs. North Texas) — -13 yards
  • Arkansas ( vs. Texas State) — 22 yards
  • LSU (vs. Mississippi State) — 56 yards

Most passing yards allowed (team)

It was a surprisingly eventful win for the Gamecocks, who barely edged East Carolina in Will Muschamp’s home debut. The other two reflect the high-scoring games in Columbia and Oxford.

  • Alabama (vs. Ole Miss) — 421 yards
  • South Carolina (vs. East Carolina) — 400 yards
  • Georgia (vs. Missouri) — 376 yards

Fewest passing yards allowed (team)

The most eventful thing that North Texas did in that game, or maybe its entire season, was injure Gators QB Luke Del Rio. Ole Miss’ beleaguered defensive backfield stood its ground, forcing the Tide to do damage on the ground.

  • Florida (vs. North Texas) — 66 yards
  • Arkansas (vs. Texas State) — 83 yards
  • Ole Miss (vs. Alabama) — 158 yards
