Here is an exert from a thread we were discussing Kawaan Short and we compared stats between him and Floyd. Stats aren't the end all.

Nothing against Michigan, Wisconsin, OSU, or Penn St., all teams with decent OL talent. I mean, how good is ND, I can't really answer that.
2011:
SEMoSt. .05
Minn. 1
Illinois 2
OSU 3
Again, nothing against talented OLs. Now, he did have 3 against OSU but that was a very bad year for Ohio State (6-7, 1-5 on the road in 2011) and they had a lot of players suspended/dismissed/transfer.
I just don't see it with Short. I think he has talent but I don't know that he has shown that he can produce against good talent at the NCAA level consistently.
That's interesting for sure. Out of curiosity I looked up Shariff Floyd's game log for the last 2 years.
2012
0 sacks in SEC conference play
0 sacks vs. Bowling Green
0 vs. Louisiana Lafayette
0 vs.Jacksonville State
His first sack of the year came in the last game against FSU.
He then had 2 sacks vs. UL in the bowl game.
2011
0 sacks in SEC conference play
0 vs. Florida Atlantic
0 vs UAB
0 vs Furman
His only sacks that year came against that same sorry OSU team. He had 1.5 in the bowl game.
4.5 sacks for career. 3.5 of those came in the 2 bowl games.
