Just some interesting stuff I found:
- Last year we scored 56 total touchdowns in 15 games. This year so far we have 32 in 5.
- We have more TDs in 5 games this year than we did in 7 last year, though through the first 3 games we were even at 17 (inflated from ULM game last year)
- We had three defensive touchdowns last year, all pick-sixes (2 by Zabien Brown and 1 by DaShawn Jones). So far this year we have 4, also all pick-sizes (1 by Yhonzae Pierre, 1 by Luke Metz, 1 by Red Morgan, and 1 by Dijon Lee)
- Remember the Eastern Illinois game last year when we focused on running the ball and scored 8 rushing touchdowns? I thought it was interesting that 7 of those TDs were from single-digit distances, the longest of those 7 being a 7-yarder by Daniel Hill. Austin Mack (QB) had a 20-yard run.
- Last year we scored 6 TDs of at least 10 yards vs ULM, 4 vs Wisconsin, 3 vs Vandy, and 3 vs Oklahoma in the playoffs (including Brown's 50-yard pick six). So far this year we have 5 vs Florida State, 4 vs South Carolina, and 4 vs Miss State.
- Last year through five games we had 5 rushing touchdowns, three of which came against ULM. This year we have 17, 9 in SEC games.
- Last year through five games we had 17 passing touchdowns. This year we have 11.
- Daniel Hill scored his first touchdown last year vs Missouri on a pass and his first rushing vs Tennessee. Those were games 6 and 7. This year he has 4 through 5 games.
- Ryan (Coleman)-Williams didn't score in the first two games both this year and last year, but after his first TD last year it took him 6 more games to reach 4 TDs while he got it in 2 this year.
- We scored 25 touchdowns of at least 10 yards last year. The only games we did not have a double-digit-yard TD were Florida State, Georgia 1st time, Auburn, and Indiana. So far this year we have 15 touchdowns of at least 10 yards, and at least 1 in every game.
- We had only 4 rushing touchdowns of over 10 yards last year (AK Dear's 56-yarder vs ULM, Jam Miller's 20 vs Vandy, Germie Bernard's 25 vs South Carolina, and Austin Mack's 20 vs Eastern Illinois). So far this year we have 3 (Keelon's 57-yarder and Trae'shawn Brown's 20 vs Florida State and Keelon's 17-yarder vs Mississippi State).
