During the fifth week of the SEC’s 2022 season, Alabama defeated Arkansas 49-26, Georgia defeated Missouri 26-22, LSU defeated Auburn 21-17, Mississippi State defeated Texas A&M 42-24 and Ole Miss defeated Kentucky 22-19 in league games. In non-conference contests, Florida defeated Eastern Washington 52-17 and South Carolina defeated South Carolina State 50-10. Here are 10 numbers about the SEC’s Week 5 games:

0 TD passes on Saturday for LSU, which reached the end zone on runs by QB Jayden Daniels and RB John Emery Jr. and a fumble return by Jay Ward in its 21-17 victory over Auburn. LSU entered the game having thrown at least one TD pass in 46 consecutive contests. The streak started after a 29-0 loss to Alabama on Nov. 3, 2018.

2 Fumbles were lost by Kentucky in the red zone in the final three minutes of the Wildcats’ 22-19 loss to Ole Miss on Saturday. Rebels LB Austin Keys caused Kentucky QB Will Levis to fumble on a third-and-2 run from the Ole Miss 19-yard line, and S A.J. Finley recovered with 2:55 to play. After the Rebels went three-and-out, a 51-yard completion from Levis to WR Barion Brown got Kentucky to the Ole Miss 7-yard line. Levis threw a TD pass to WR Dane Key from there, but an illegal-motion penalty nullified the go-ahead score, and on the next snap, DE Jared Ivey got a strip-sack of Levis and DE Tavius Robinson recovered the loose football with 51 seconds remaining to seal the Rebels’ victory.

4 Interceptions have been returned for TDs by Mississippi State CB Emmanuel Forbes, who scored on a 33-yard interception return with 3:29 left in the Bulldogs’ 42-24 victory over Texas A&M on Saturday. Forbes had three interception-return TDs as a freshman in 2020. Forbes became the fifth SEC player with at least four interception-return TDs. Tennessee’s Jackie Walker holds the conference record with five. Florida’s Brandon Spikes, Vanderbilt’s Trey Wilson and Alabama’s Minkah Fitzpatrick had four apiece. Forbes intercepted two passes on Saturday, boosting his career total to 11. During his time at MSU, Forbes has two more interceptions than any other player in the nation and four more interceptions than any other SEC player since the start of the 2020 season.

4 Of Auburn’s past five SEC games have included a lead for the Tigers in the second half. Auburn lost all four, including Saturday’s 21-17 setback against LSU. The one game among the five that the Tigers didn’t lead in the second half, they won. Auburn and Missouri were tied 14-14 at halftime on Sept. 24, and after neither team scored in the second half, Auburn posted a 17-14 overtime victory. Auburn had a 17-0 lead on LSU, which won its other SEC game this season 31-16 over Mississippi State on Sept. 17 after the Bulldogs scored the game’s first 13 points.

6 Alabama rushing attempts gained 229 yards against Arkansas after the previous 31 had netted 80 yards (a total that includes 24 yards lost on sacks) on Saturday. The six-carry span included a 77-yard run to the Razorbacks 3-yard line by QB Jalen Milroe and TD runs of 72 and 76 yards by RB Jahmyr Gibbs. Alabama led Arkansas 28-23 entering the fourth quarter and posted a 49-26 victory.

16 Years since the loser of the annual Auburn-LSU game gained more yards than the winner. In LSU’s 21-17 victory over Auburn on Saturday, Auburn’s offense had the advantage in yardage 438-270. But Auburn also had four turnovers to LSU’s one and lost despite scoring the game’s first 17 points. Before Saturday, the most recent Auburn-LSU game in which the losing team finished with more yards than the winning team came in 2006, when Auburn won 7-3 even though LSU held a 311-182 advantage in yardage.

20 Victories in his first 28 games as Ole Miss coach for Lane Kiffin after the Rebels defeated Kentucky 22-19 on Saturday. That’s the fastest to 20 wins among the 12 coaches who have guided Ole Miss since Johnny Vaught’s final full season at the Rebels’ helm. Kiffin equaled Vaught with 20 victories in his first 28 games. Vaught had a 20-7-1 record in his first 28 games with Ole Miss starting in 1947 on his way to a 190-61-12 career mark. The fastest an Ole Miss coach has reached 20 victories is 24 games. Harry Mehre started his seven-year tenure with the Rebels with a 9-2 showing in 1938 followed by 7-2 in 1939 and four consecutive wins to open the 1940 season. Mehre had a 23-5 record after 28 games but finished with a 39-26-1 career mark at Ole Miss.

29 More penalty yards than yards of offense for South Carolina State in the first half of its 50-10 loss to South Carolina on Thursday night. In the first half, the Bulldogs gained 83 yards on 27 snaps and were flagged 11 times for 112 yards. In the second half, South Carolina State had one 5-yard penalty. The game marked the second time that South Carolina has scored at least 50 points in consecutive games, with the Gamecocks coming off a 56-20 victory over Charlotte on Sept. 24. In 1995, South Carolina reached 50 points in three straight games, beating Kent State 77-14, Mississippi State 65-39 and Vanderbilt 52-14.

206 Yards on 18 rushing attempts for Alabama RB Jahmyr Gibbs in a 49-26 victory over Arkansas on Saturday. Gibbs turned in the 10th game by an SEC player in this century in which a ball-carrier averaged at least 11.4 yards on 18 or more rushing attempts. Among Crimson Tide players, Gibbs is the first ball-carrier in 26 years to produce that combination of numbers. On Nov. 9, 1996, in a 26-0 victory over LSU, Shaun Alexander averaged 14.6 yards on 20 carries for 291 yards to set Alabama’s single-season rushing record. Gibbs scored touchdowns against the Razorbacks on runs of 72 and 76 yards.

750 Victories in Florida’s football history. By beating Eastern Washington 52-17 on Sunday, the Gators became the 21st major-college program with 750 all-time victories and the first to do so without playing football in the 19th century. Florida became the seventh SEC program to reach 750 victories. Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, LSU, Auburn and Texas A&M are the current SEC members that already have won at least 750 games. Florida has an all-time record of 750-433-40.
