Alabama and Georgia will square off in the SEC Championship Game at 3 p.m. CST Saturday in Atlanta, continuing a campaign of SEC play that started on Aug. 26, when Vanderbilt defeated Hawaii 35-28. Before the 32nd SEC title game, here are 10 numbers from the conference’s regular-season play:

1 Player in NCAA FBS history had had at least 350 passing yards and 200 rushing yards in the same game – LSU QB Jayden Daniels, who accomplished the feat in a 52-35 victory over Florida on Nov. 11. Against the Gators, Daniels completed 17-of-26 passes for 372 yards with three TDs and no interceptions and ran for 234 yards and two TDs on 12 carries. With 606 yards of total offense, Daniels broke the SEC single-game record set by Mississippi State QB K.J. Costello when he had 585 (623 passing and minus-38 rushing) in a 44-34 victory over LSU on Sept. 26, 2020. Daniels’ output in the game made him the first NCAA FBS player to top 12,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards in his career and the 17th SEC player to reach 4,000 yards of total offense in a single season.

1 Player in SEC history has had at least 200 rushing yards and 100 receiving yards in the same game – Missouri RB Cody Schrader, who accomplished the feat in a 36-7 victory over Tennessee on Nov. 11. Schrader is the 10th NCAA FBS player to reach those milestones in the same game. Schrader ran for 205 yards and one TD on 35 carries and caught five passes for 116 yards. Schrader became the first Missouri player with at least 100 rushing yards and 100 receiving yards in the same game.

1 SEC first-year head coach has started a season without finishing it – Mississippi State’s Zach Arnett. SEC coaches have been fired during seasons. SEC coaches have lasted only one season. There have even been SEC coaches who have never gotten to Game 1 of what was supposed to be their first season. But Arnett is the first who failed to complete his first season after starting the campaign. When MSU coach Mike Leach died after the 2022 regular season, Arnett guided the Bulldogs to a 19-14 victory over Illinois in the ReliaQuest Bowl. But with a 4-6 record and the SEC’s lowest-scoring team in 2023, Arnett was let go on Nov. 13 with games against Southern Miss and Ole Miss still to play.

2 SEC coaches have won 250 games after Alabama defeated LSU 42-28 on Nov. 4. The victory boosted Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban’s record guiding SEC programs to 250-44. Saban’s on-the-field record reached 205-28 at Alabama by the end of the regular season after going 48-16 at LSU. Paul “Bear” Bryant had a 60-23-5 record at Kentucky from 1946 through 1953 and a 232-46-9 record at Alabama from 1958 through 1982 for an overall mark of 292-69-14 in the SEC. Bryant is the only coach with more victories at one SEC school than Saban, who passed Georgia’s Vince Dooley this season. Dooley had a 201-77-10 record with the Bulldogs from 1964 through 1988. Saban joined Bryant and Dooley among the 10 coaches who have posted 200 victories at one major-college football program. The other coaches who have won at least 200 games at one major-college program include Penn State’s Joe Paterno with 409 victories, Florida State’s Bobby Bowden with 304, BYU’s LaVell Edwards with 257, Nebraska’s Tom Osborne with 255, Chicago’s Amos Alonzo Stagg with 244, Virginia Tech’s Frank Beamer with 238, Kansas State’s Bill Snyder with 215 and Ohio State’s Woody Hayes with 205.

8 TDs were accounted for by LSU QB Jayden Daniels in the Tigers’ 56-14 victory over Georgia State on Nov. 18, which tied the SEC single-game record. LSU QB Joe Burrow had seven TD passes and one TD run in the Tigers’ 63-28 victory over Oklahoma in the Peach Bowl on Dec. 28, 2020. Against Georgia State, Daniels completed 25-of-30 passes for 413 yards with six TDs and no interceptions and ran for 96 yards and two TDs on 10 carries as he became the 11th player in NCAA FBS history to record 3,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in the same season, a list that includes Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel in 2012. By reaching 1,000 rushing yards for 2023 during the game, Daniels became the seventh SEC QB to hit that milestone in a season.

29 Consecutive victories for Georgia, the longest winning streak in SEC history. The Bulldogs took sole possession of the record by defeating Georgia Tech 31-23 on Saturday. Georgia’s most recent loss was a 41-24 setback against Alabama in the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 4, 2021. The former league record of 28 wins in a row was established by Alabama during the 1978, 1979 and 1980 seasons and equaled by the Crimson Tide during the 1991, 1992 and 1993 seasons. The 29-game winning streak is tied for 12th-longest in major-college football history. Saturday’s win also was Georgia’s 39th consecutive regular-season victory, tied for the second-longest such streak in major-college football history. The Bulldogs haven’t lost in the regular season since a 44-28 setback against Florida on Nov. 7, 2020. During the 2023 season, Georgia went past Tennessee’s SEC record of 33 consecutive regular-season victories established during the 1937 through 1941 campaigns and tied the SEC record for consecutive conference regular-season victories with 27. Alabama had a 27-game streak that started in the 1976 seasons and ended in the 1980 season.

61 Yards was the distance of the field goal that K Harrison Mevis made on the final snap to lift Missouri to a 30-27 victory over Kansas State on Sept. 16. The field goal was the longest in SEC history. Mevis broke the 60-yard record established by Tennessee’s Fuad Reveiz in 1982 and tied by Georgia’s Kevin Butler and Florida’s Chris Perkins in 1984. Each of those kickers used a tee, a practice that was prohibited by the NCAA beginning in the 1989 season. In the seasons since, only other field goal longer than 57 yards had been made by an SEC kicker – a 58-yarder by Georgia’s Brandon Coutu in 2005.

85 Victories for Kirby Smart in his first 100 games as Georgia’s coach when the Bulldogs defeated UAB 49-21 on Sept. 23. Smart compiled the most wins and the best winning percentage for a coach during his first 100 games at an SEC member. Smart surpassed the record for the most wins for a coach in his first 100 games at an SEC school with the 84-16 mark achieved by Nick Saban at Alabama. The best winning percentage for a coach in his first 100 games at an SEC school had been .845, achieved by Paul “Bear” Bryant with an 81-12-7 record at Alabama. Smart also took over the records for the most wins and the best winning percentage for a coach in his first 100 games in the SEC. He surpassed the 83-16-1 record achieved by Steve Spurrier at Florida. Saban and Bryant coached in the SEC before coming to Alabama. With his Kentucky record included, Bryant had a 66-28-6 record in his first 100 games as an SEC coach. With his LSU record included, Saban had a 67-33 record in his first 100 games as an SEC coach.

365 Consecutive passes without an interception by Missouri QB Brady Cook, the longest streak in SEC history. Cook broke the record established by Kentucky QB Andre Woodson of 325 passes without an interception, a streak straddling the 2006 and 2007 seasons. Cook’s streak ended when LSU LB Harold Perkins Jr. picked off his 18th throw during Missouri’s 49-39 loss on Oct. 7. The interception was the first off Cook since Vanderbilt’s Anfernee Orji picked off his fifth pass in Missouri’s 17-14 victory on Oct. 22, 2022.

530 Points have been scored by Alabama K Will Reichard, tied for the most in major-college football history. Reichard is tied with Navy QB Keenan Reynolds, who scored 530 points from 2012 through 2015. During the 2023 season, Reichard replaced Auburn K Daniel Carlson as the SEC’s career scoring leader. Carlson scored 480 points from 2014 through 2017.
