Every 1,000-Yard Rusher in SEC History

1 month ago | saturdaydownsouth.com | Chris Wright |Derek Peterson |Spenser Davis |Paul Harvey

Saturday Down South has compiled an exclusive, one-of-a-kind, searchable database of every 1,000-yard rusher in SEC history. First, the caveats: This database includes 1,000-yard rushers from every current and past SEC team. (Looking at you Tulane! And obviously newcomers Texas and Oklahoma.) SDS scoured and compared multiple websites and media guides in building the database.

College baseball preview: 10 burning questions about the 2025 season

Feb 14, 2025 | saturdaydownsouth.com | Chris Wright |Joe Cox |Brett Friedlander

Nothing could top the 2023 college baseball season. And then 2024 showed up — producing another SEC national champion and 3 of the greatest individual seasons in the SEC’s storied history. In the past 2 years alone, the SEC produced 14 first-round draft picks and forced countless revisions to the record books. Nicknames like Jac-tani, Tanks and CMo became part of our baseball vernacular. There’s no way more magic awaits in 2025, right? Maybe? Opening Day is here.
Where are they now? Tracking every 5-star QB since the 2017 recruiting class

Dec 5, 2024 | saturdaydownsouth.com | Chris Wright

The top 3 overall players in the 2025 recruiting cycle were 5-star quarterbacks. Altogether, 4 5-star QBs signed scholarships Wednesday. Alabama landed No. 2 overall prospect Keelon Russell, but 3 of them — including No. 1 Bryce Underwood (Michigan) and No. 3 Tavien St. Clair (Ohio State) — are headed to the Big Ten. Don’t get too attached, though: If recent history holds, it’s safe to say many won’t stay where they signed.
10 things I'm absolutely overreacting to after Rivalry Week in the SEC

Dec 1, 2024 | saturdaydownsouth.com | Chris Wright

If the expanded Playoff gives us half the drama and entertainment of Rivalry Week, we’re in for quite a treat. From Georgia rallying for an epic 8-OT victory over Georgia Tech to South Carolina’s heart-stopping comeback at Clemson in a Playoff-elimination game, Week 14 was the best to date. Unless, of course, you were Ryan Day or Mike Elko. Those are among the 10 things I’m absolutely overreacting to after the Rivalry Week in and around the SEC.
10 things I'm absolutely overreacting to after Week 13 in the SEC

Nov 24, 2024 | saturdaydownsouth.com | Chris Wright

Ghosts? After the craziest Saturday of the craziest season in college football history, I need a ghostwriter. Seriously, 1,000 words — Pulitzer quality, I promise — vanished faster than Indiana, Ole Miss and Alabama’s Playoff hopes Saturday night. It’s just before midnight, and I’m starting from scratch. Just like Billy Napier. That’s just some of the 10 things I’m absolutely overreacting to after Week 13 in and around the SEC.
10 things I'm absolutely overreacting to after Week 12 in the SEC

Nov 17, 2024 | saturdaydownsouth.com | Chris Wright

Indiana didn’t even play in Week 12, yet the Hoosiers dominated headlines all week. Thank the Playoff selection committee for that. For the Hoosiers (and that silly committee), reality awaits in Week 13. Reality arrived Saturday for Missouri, Boise State haters and especially LSU. Those are just some of the 10 things I’m absolutely overreacting to after Week 12 in and around the SEC. I laughed at the 2nd set of Playoff rankings. How could you not?
10 things I'm absolutely overreacting to after Week 11 in the SEC

Nov 10, 2024 | saturdaydownsouth.com | Chris Wright

And you thought Tuesday was interesting …Speaking of winners (Alabama, Ole Miss, Indiana) and losers (No. 3 Georgia, No. 4 Miami, No. 15 LSU) and questionable leaders (more in a minute), how about Saturday, huh? Those are among the 10 things I’m absolutely overreacting to after a bonkers Week 11 in and around the SEC. First, let’s be fair to Florida basketball coach Todd Golden, who stands accused of sexual harassment and stalking, according to a blockbuster report in The Alligator.
10 things I'm absolutely overreacting to after Week 9 in the SEC

Oct 27, 2024 | saturdaydownsouth.com | Chris Wright

Bloomington By God Indiana was the center of the college football universe Saturday. College GameDay was there. Former IU coach Lee Corso received a hero’s return. And the Hoosiers rolled in front of a national TV audience and rare sell-out crowd filled with … Indiana fans. None of this make sense to a college football purist or an SEC fan, and none of that happens in the 4-team Playoff era. Heck, they would have laughed you out of Santa Claus, Indiana, if you even mentioned it as a wish.

In fairness, I did the exact same thing every time somebody hit a ground ball to my infield with 2 outs. 🤣 So much faith in their talent and the work they put in.

Pulling out the ring celly before the first baseman catches the ball is max aura 🥶 https://t.co/pNA8BhSZ9B

I'm guessing there are starting pitchers (maybe multiple) on several Power 5 teams that have more NIL money than Coastal Carolina and Murray State have combined. Baseball, man. It's a beautiful game. So beautiful not even greed can ruin it.

Best way I can describe watching Paul Skenes: He throws like Nolan Ryan and pitches like Greg Maddux. It's unreal that somebody that young, gifted with that arm, has the desire and ability to outscheme and toy with the best hitters in the world. Or, in this case, the Phillies...
