Dabo's Transfer Portal
This star WR famously had to transfer out of OSU due to legal issues, (something Coach Gundy is unlikely to ever enforce again). He ended up at a school in Alabama before making the jump to the NFL and quickly becoming one of the best in the league.
TYREEK HILL
This is the number of teams in the SEC that Alabama has an active losing streak against.
1 (Texas)
Arkansas W17, Auburn W4, Florida W8, Georgia W1, Kentucky W8, LSU W1, Miss St W16, Mizzou W5, Oklahoma W1, Ole Miss W8, South Carolina W1, Tennessee W1, Texas L1, Texas A&M W2, Vanderbilt W23
Two different AFC teams have Lost a record 5 Super Bowls each. Name one.
(*Bonus if you can name both)
PATRIOTS and BRONCOS
(Ironic considering both had top 5 QBs play for them)
UCLA QB Gary Beban got away with murder when he won the 1967 Heisman Trophy with a statline of 1359 yds, 8 TDs, 7 INTs over this RB who ran for 1543 yds and 13 TDs
OJ SIMPSON
(USC beat Beban and UCLA in the PAC 12 Championship 21-20 behind Simpson’s 232 yards and 2 TDs, Beban had 2 INTs (one for TD))
This player may have the most wasted potential in this category as during his career he was suspended 6!!! separate times by the league office and once more by his team. During one of only two seasons he saw the field more than 12 games, he posted a league leading 1646 yards and 9 TDs
JOSH GORDON
(He was suspended twice more in college too totaling 9 in a 12 year career)
This player transferred twice in college and ended up attending 2 separate SEC schools totaling one Heisman, two national championships, and later an NFL MVP
CAM NEWTON
(A poor man's Jalen Milroe)
(Also won the junior college natty in 09 making 3 straight national championships)
Three SEC schools are tied for the most All American QBs (of just SEC schools). Name one school.
(*Bonus points if you can name multiple of the players)
ALABAMA (BRYCE, MAC, TUA)
FLORIDA (DANNY WUERGFFEL, TIM TEBOW, REX GROSSMAN)
LSU (JAYDEN DANIELS, JOE BURROW, BERT JONES)
This Hall of Famer holds the record for quickest score in a Super Bowl by a credited individual at 14 seconds into the game.
(*Hint)
DEVIN HESTER (XLI VS IND)
(*“Cliff Avril’s” safety in Super Bowl XLVIII is weirdly stated as SEA team score within 12 seconds of kickoff)
Before Ohio State got beat 52-24 in the national championship by Alabama, they controversially made the playoff over this #5 ranked team despite OSU only playing 6 games. This decision was made in large part because they had lost to Alabama earlier in the year “in blowout fashion” and finished 8-1 compared to OSU 6-0. Name this team.
TEXAS A&M
(Jimbo's best shot at another natty...It's ironic to note that the final score of the Alabama-TAMU game was also 52-24 just like Ohio St, but A&M prob doesn't beat Clemson or Bama anyways so it's fine)
This RB was undrafted out of Illinois State University before he rushed for 1070 yds in his rookie season. Unfortunately, he did not get enough recognition for this (aside from winning offensive rookie of the month for one month) as his team went 1-13 in the 14 games he appeared in.
JAMES ROBINSON
(He will always be able to say he took offensive rookie of the month in September over the likes of Burrow, Tua, Herbert, JJettas, JTaylor, and CeeDee)
This former Crimson Tide RB had the unfortunate experience of leaving and then facing Bama in the playoff. To rub salt in the wound, he watched his former backfieldmate run for over 200 yards and a school bowl game record en route to Cotton Bowl MVP as the Crimson Tide dominated and advanced to the National Championship game.
JEROME FORD
Who is credited with the most total TDs (rushing and receiving only) in their career in SEC history. There are two tied. Name one.
(*Bonus if you name both)
NAJEE HARRIS (46 RUSH 11 REC)
TIM TEBOW (57 RUSH)
Which QB holds the record for lowest passer rating to get the win, with a shocking 22.6 in an 11 point win.
(*Hint: stat line was 9/21 for 123 yds, 0 TD, 2 INT, 76 INT yds)
BEN ROETHLISBERGER (XL VS SEA)
(WR Antwaan Randle El finished 1/1 43 yds 1 TD rating 158.3 (perfect))
Despite J.J. Watt putting up 20.5 Sacks, 2 Def TDs, 3 Off TDs, a safety, and 29 TFLs, this QB won the NFL MVP award boasting ranks of 14th in completions, 9th in comp%, 7th in yards, 3rd in TDs, and 2nd in rating
AARON RODGERS
This former Bear had a breakout season in 2021 racking up 1055 yards and 4 TDs with rookie QB Justin Fields. He since has failed to even eclipse 500 yards in a season.
DARNELL MOONEY
(My fantasy team that year was in fact called Mooney Tunes)
This is the record for players concurrently in the transfer portal set this year’s cycle. Must be within the 100s
(Ex: 107 OR 199 both fall in 100-200)
3843
(3800-3900)
Who holds the record for most total yards in an SEC Championship game
(Hint: Including passing yards)
BRYCE YOUNG - 461
(2021 VS GEORGIA, 421 passing 40 rushing)
Who shares the single game record for most points scored in a Super Bowl? There are two players, name one.
(*Hint: passing TDs do not count towards points)
(*Bonus points if you can name both)
JAMES WHITE (LI VS ATL) (1 Receiving and 2 Rushing including OT)
JALEN HURTS (LVII VS KC) (Holds SB Rushing TD record (3))
Each 3 TDs and a 2pt (20pts)
Even though he finished 2nd in Heisman voting in 2 out of his 3 seasons at Stanford, this player never was able to get over the hump and is one of the best to never win, putting up nearly 7k yards and 70 TDs on 71% comp% in those two seasons.
ANDREW LUCK
(#ripPAC12afterdark... He made Harbaugh tbh)
There have only been 7 sets of teammate duos to rush for 1,000 yards each in the same season. Name one of the most recent pair.
(*Hint)
(*Bonus points if you can name both)
LAMAR JACKSON and MARK INGRAM (big truss woo woo)
(*AFC, MVP, 2019 season)
(Lamar prob won MVP bc he went for 1200 yards on 7 Y/A)
This National Champion for the Crimson Tide was likely Saban’s best transfer before Jamo and Gibbs. An unlikely hero from FSU, this player was named First-Team All-SEC and won his national positional award in his final year. After an injury/ sickness filled rookie year, was named a Pro-Bowler in his first back-to-back full seasons to start his NFL career.
LANDON DICKERSON
5 current members of the conference have vacated/forfeited football wins while being a member of the SEC. Of these 5, only two have 30+ instances of such. Name one.
(*Bonus points if both named)
LSU (37)
OLE MISS (33)
There are 4 players who won a Super Bowl with a team and then beat that team in the Super Bowl the following season. Name one.
(*Hint)

BRANDON BROWNER (SEA->NE)
CHRIS LONG (NE->PHI)
LEGARRETTE BLOUNT (NE->PHI)
LESEAN MCCOY (KC->TAM)
(Hint: 3 former Patriots and 1 non-Patriot)
Nearly 2,000 rushing yards and 15 TDs as a true freshman leading an undefeated team to the National Championship Game was apparently just not enough for the Heisman voters, as this then-19-year-old was held back by his senior QB splitting just enough votes to slot them into second and third respectively. Name this 2nd place RB and future HOFer.
ADRIAN PETERSON
Before there was CMC there was this RB who once topped 1k Rec yards in a season where he tacked on a further 1400 rushing yards before unfortunately finishing second in MVP voting to his own QB.
(*Hint)
MARSHALL FAULK
(*He came back the next year and won MVP)
(In 2000, Faulk had 220 less rec yards but had 14 MORE TDs in 2 less games (only 14) and still topped 2000 yards from scrimmage for the 4th straight season)(per 17 game average of 1500 rushing 1000 receiving with 20 TOTDs)
