Auburn Tigers quarterback [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag] is coming off his best game of the year. He accounted for 356 yards of total offense against the LSU Tigers, 337 of that total came through the air.
Ashford connected on touchdown passes of 18 yards to Camden Brown and 53 yards to Ja’Varrius Johnson. But was it enough to climb up the passer rankings in the SEC?
The clear leader in the SEC clubhouse has been Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Bryce Young. He is currently 11th in the FBS with 14 touchdown passes. The only SEC passer ahead of Young is Mississippi State’s Will Rogers, who is also the leading passer in yards and yards per game.
Georgia’s Stetson Bennett has been racking up the yards this season, he currently sits second to Rogers in yards and yards per game. The only thing holding the UGA QB down in the rankings are his touchdown totals. Through five games, Bennett has five which is more than Ashford and [autotag]T.J. Finley[/autotag] combined.
