Ever feel like you’re running in place? Or worse that you’re moving backwards?
Ever get that feeling when you’re watching your favorite football team’s offense?
Well, we’ve put together a stat that actually measures how much yardage each SEC team loses per game. We call it — and this is brilliant — “Lost Yardage.”
The idea is to tally up the amount of penalty yardage and sack yardage that each team surrenders to their opponent in a given game.
Below are our findings:
Lost Yardage
| Rank | School | Sack Yards | Penalty Yards | Total Lost Yards | Lost Yards/Game |
| 1 | Tennessee | 42 | 144 | 186 | 37.20 |
| 2t | Alabama | 24 | 270 | 294 | 58.80 |
| 2t | Auburn | 9 | 285 | 294 | 58.80 |
| 4 | LSU | 87 | 218 | 305 | 61.00 |
| 5 | Florida | 38 | 210 | 248 | 62.00 |
| 6 | Ole Miss | 42 | 216 | 258 | 64.50 |
| 7 | Vanderbilt | 90 | 239 | 329 | 65.80 |
| 8 | Miss State | 21 | 331 | 352 | 70.40 |
| 9 | Kentucky | 27 | 262 | 289 | 72.25 |
| 10 | S. Carolina | 86 | 317 | 403 | 80.60 |
| 11 | Georgia | 39 | 373 | 412 | 82.40 |
| 12 | Arkansas | 47 | 310 | 357 | 89.25 |
