As we do every week, here is a look at some of the advanced stats & PFF data from the Auburn victory.
41 players played at least 10 snaps:
- 21 on offense
- 20 on defense
Stetson Bennett
- 75.0 % adjusted completion (2 drops)
- 62.8 first run passing grade -- lowest since SECCG
- 6.5 yards per attempt -- lowest since '21 vs. Arkansas
- The '21 Arkansas game was also his only one without a TD pass last season. He's now gone 3 consecutive games without a TD pass after a 13 start streak of at least 1 TD pass.
Clean Pocket -- 19 of 28 for 172 yards
Pressured -- 3 of 4 for 36 yards
Blitzed -- 5 of 7 for 33 yards
Play-action -- 6 of 8 for 76 yards
Screen -- 7 of 8 for 25 yards -- 3.1 -- first time this season less than 5.0 yds/att on screens -- Auburn played these aggressively and often knew they were coming
Throws over 10 yards -- 5 of 15 for 99 yards
O-Line
- Bennett only pressured on 5 of 33 drop-backs.
- Xavier Truss was the only starting linemen with a Pass Block grade lower than 70.0
- 56% of rushing yards before contact (somewhat skewed by Stetson's long run where he didn't get touched)
- Broderick Jones had career low 49.5 run block grade (first run grading)
Rushing -- the RBs did work!
- Branson Robinson -- 46 of his 98 yards after contact (3.83 yds after contact/att)
- Daijun Edwards -- 50 of his 84 yards after contact (4.17 yds after contact/att)
- Kenny McIntosh -- 29 of his 35 yards after contact (4.14 yds after contact/att)
For context -- anything above 4.0 is really good
17 attempts for 118 yds running left
9 attempts for 85 yds running right
10 attempts for 101 yds running up the middle (inc Stet's run)
And for those zone/gap folks -- 16 zone runs, 17 gap runs
- Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint -- career low 46.0 run block grade
Receiving
- Brock Bowers -- 2 rec on 6 targets
- Everyone else -- 19 rec on 25 targets
- Ladd McConkey's 47 receiving yards led the team
- With his 2 receptions, Darnell Washington now has set single season highs in receptions (12), targets (16) and yards (207)
Defense
- Zion Logue -- career best game against an FBS opponent (81.1 grade). Had 2 "stops" - only had 1 in the first 5 games
- Jamon Dumas-Johnson -- continues to be the defense's highest graded non-secondary player. Also now 2nd on the team with 9 total QB pressures
- Bear Alexander -- tied Nolan Smith with 4 total QB pressures in the game
After consecutive bad tackling games, the Bulldogs only missed 4 tackles and Auburn would've been held out of the endzone without the missed tackle on the long TD.
