In 2023, the SEC’s individual record for most yards of total offense in a game fell, but these football marks might go on forever.
LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels passed for 372 yards and ran for 234 yards for 606 yards of total offense as he accounted for five touchdowns in a 52-35 victory over Florida on Nov. 11.
It’s doubtful that anything that happens during the 2024 campaign will be able to eclipse these 10 single-game records:Kentucky’s Bert Johnson was a running back who carried the nickname “Man O’ War.” He played in the NFL for six seasons and punted 15 times as a pro -- or half as many punts as he had in Kentucky’s 7-0 loss to Washington and Lee on Sept. 29, 1934. On that day, Johnson punted seven more times than any other SEC player has in a game.
Four SEC teams have topped 80 points in a game in the 86 seasons since LSU’s 93-point victory, a feat most recently performed by Florida in an 82-6 victory over Central Michigan on Sept. 6, 1997.Old Miss halfback Arnold “Showboat” Boykin carried the football only 14 times in Rebels’ 49-7 victory over Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl on Dec. 1, 1951, but half of his rushing attempts ended in the end zone. Boykin ran for 187 yards and seven touchdowns against the Bulldogs.
The second-place total happened way back in 1937, and the only other game in which an SEC team ran for more than 600 yards happened in 1942. No SEC team has come closer than 183 yards of Alabama’s total since the outburst, and last year’s high was 372 yards by Georgia in its 63-3 victory over Florida State in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 30.What makes the SEC record for the most points scored kicking in a game tough to beat is that there’s another record inside of it.
