Three of the SEC’s six league games in the seventh week of the 2024 season featured touchdowns in the final minute of the fourth quarter, with two going into overtime and the other coming within a 2-point conversion of doing so. No. 13 LSU upended No. 9 Ole Miss 29-26 in one of the overtime games, while No. 1 Texas dusted No. 18 Oklahoma 34-3 in the SEC’s other ranked matchup on Saturday. Missouri’s 45-3 victory over Massachusetts on Saturday lifted the league’s mark against outside teams to 43-8 in 2024. Here are 10 stats from SEC Football by the Numbers about Week 7:

2 Victories for Tennessee under coach Josh Heupel after the Volunteers trailed at halftime, including Saturday’s 23-17 overtime victory against Florida. Tennessee trailed the Gators 3-0 at halftime. The Vols have a 2-12 record under Heupel when they haven’t led at halftime. When leading at halftime, Tennessee has a 30-1 record under Heupel.

3 SEC teams scored a touchdown in the final 43 seconds of the fourth quarter on Saturday. South Carolina QB LaNorris Sellers threw a 31-yard TD pass to WR Nyck Harbor with 43 seconds to play against Alabama. But the Gamecocks were unsuccessful on a 2-point conversion pass, and, after a successful onside kick, CB Domani Jackson intercepted Sellers’ pass at Alabama’s 2-yard line on the final snap to preserve the Crimson Tide’s 27-25 victory. Florida QB DJ Lagway threw a 27-yard TD pass to WR Chimere Dike with 29 seconds left in the fourth quarter. But after the game-tying PAT, the Gators lost to Tennessee 23-17 when Florida failed to score in overtime. LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier threw a 23-yard TD pass on fourth-and-5 to WR Aaron Anderson with 27 seconds left in the fourth quarter, and, after the game-tying PAT, the Tigers defeated Ole Miss 29-26 in overtime.

3 Consecutive games with a fourth-quarter deficit for Alabama, the first time that has happened for the Crimson Tide since the 2007 season. Alabama hadn’t trailed in the fourth quarter of back-to-back games since the Ole Miss and Arkansas games on Oct. 4 and 11, respectively, in 2014. Alabama entered the fourth quarter of Saturday’s 27-25 victory over South Carolina trailing 19-14. The Tide never had the lead in a 40-35 loss to Vanderbilt on Oct. 5. In its 41-34 victory over Georgia on Sept. 28, Alabama trailed 34-33 with 2:31 to play when the Bulldogs scored their third touchdown of the final period. Alabama faced four consecutive fourth-quarter deficits during losses to LSU, Mississippi State, Louisiana-Monroe and Auburn in 2007. Between that losing streak and the current three-game streak of fourth-quarter deficits, Alabama trailed in the fourth quarter of 41 of their 226 games, with 23 losses.

6 Consecutive games with at least one rushing touchdown for Tennessee RB Dylan Sampson, who ran for three TDs in the Volunteers’ 23-17 overtime victory against Florida on Saturday. Sampson is the first Tennessee player with a rushing TD in six straight games since Montario Hardesty in 2009. Sampson has run for 15 TDs in 2024, the most by a Tennessee player in one season since Tony Thompson ran for 16 in 1990. The only other Volunteers with more rushing TDs in a season are Gene McEver with 18 in 1929 and Reggie Cobb with 17 in 1987.

6 Sacks by LSU and no sacks by Ole Miss in the Tigers’ 29-26 overtime victory against the Rebels on Saturday. Ole Miss didn’t get to LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier even though he threw 51 passes, the most by an SEC player in a game this season. Nussmeier had 22 completions for 337 yards with three TDs and two interceptions. Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart completed 24-of-42 passes for 284 yards with one TD and one interception.

12 Tackles for loss were recorded by Tennessee in its 23-17 overtime victory against Florida on Saturday, with 12 Volunteers showing up in the TFL column. DL Bryson Eason had two TFLs, DL Joshua Josephs, LB Boo Carter and DL Omarr Norman-Lott had 1.5 apiece, three other players had one each and five more had one-half apiece.

18 Tackles were recorded by LSU LB Whit Weeks in the Tigers’ 29-26 overtime victory against Ole Miss on Saturday. That’s the most by an SEC player and tied for the fourth-most in the nation in one game this season. Weeks’ tackle total included one sack, which came on the final snap of the fourth quarter when he took down Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart.

49 Years since the previous time that the Oklahoma defense had two brothers in the starting lineup, as the Sooners did in Saturday’s 34-3 loss to Texas with S Peyton Bowen and CB Eli Bowen. In his first career start, Eli Bowen led Oklahoma with eight tackles. The Bowens are the first brothers to start together for the Sooners on defense since DL Lee Roy Selmon and DL Dewey Selmon in 1975. In 1987, brothers Anthony Phillips and Jon Phillips started in Oklahoma’s offensive line.

109 Years since Texas had a bigger scoring differential six games into a season than it does in 2024 after a 34-3 victory over Oklahoma on Saturday. This season, the Longhorns have outscored Colorado State, Michigan, UTSA, Louisiana-Monroe, Mississippi State and Oklahoma 259-38 – a 221-point margin. In the first six games of the 1915 season, Texas outscored TCU, Daniel Baker, Rice, Oklahoma, Southwestern and Sewanee 308-20 – and that includes a 14-13 loss to the Sooners. The 38 points yielded by Texas this season are the Longhorns’ fewest after six games since 1964, when Tulane, Texas Tech, Army, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Rice managed to score 30 (with the Razorbacks getting 14 in their one-point victory).

459 Passing yards for Georgia QB Carson Beck in a 41-31 victory over Mississippi State on Saturday. Beck’s yardage is the most by an SEC passer in 2024 and third-most in a game in the nation this season. On the Georgia single-game passing list, Beck’s Saturday output ranks No. 3 behind performances by Eric Zeier – 544 yards in a 54-24 victory over Southern Miss on Oct. 9, 1993, and 485 in a 24-21 victory over South Carolina on Sept. 3, 1994.
