Points Per Game Through Three Weeks
Alabama So Far
Alabama has beaten East Carolina 48 to 10, won 45 to 17 at Kentucky and outlasted Florida State 50 to 36. The offense has been the story. The 36 points Florida State scored is the thing a defensive coordinator will be watching on film this week.
South Carolina So Far
The Gamecocks opened with a 57 to 0 win over Kent State and a 45 to 9 win over Towson, then lost 41 to 34 at home to No. 24 Mississippi State. The scoring numbers are inflated by the two non conference openers, so the Mississippi State game is the better read on where this team is.
