Here’s an interesting breakdown of first-time starters and freshmen who played for SEC teams last weekend. I would provide these numbers for the Versus Conference but the Versus Conference does not provide them.
FIRST-TIME STARTERS / FRESHMEN PLAYING
Alabama: 12 / 3 (2 true / 1 redshirt)
Arkansas: 2 / 17 (10 true / 7 redshirt)
Auburn: 2 / 14 (12 true / 2 redshirt)
Florida: 7 / 22 (15 true / 7 redshirt)
Georgia: 8 / 13 (4 true / 9 redshirt)
Kentucky: 7 / 9 (6 true / 3 redshirt)
LSU: 8 / 17 (9 true / 8 redshirt)
Ole Miss: 6 / 9 (5 true / 4 redshirt)
Mississippi State: 7 / 12 (2 true / 10 redshirt)
South Carolina: 4 / 15 (7 true / 8 redshirt)
Tennessee: 10 / 19 (12 true / 7 redshirt)
Vanderbilt: 9 / 17 (10 true / 7 redshirt)
SW – that’s nice but how about a Pac10 breakdown?
He would give you a Pac-10 breakdown, but SW is an SEC homer.
He would, but that would require looking at box scores and participation charts like a journalist. You, I or an intern could do that. Just blame the Pac 10 for not spoon feeding Wolf a blog post. Way to go “Inside USC” with this information.
