SEC announces Players of the Week following Week 4 of college football

After an action-packed Week 4 of college football across the SEC, the league announced on Monday its Players of the Week.

The list includes honors for the best offensive, defensive and special teams players — as well as standouts among freshmen and on the offensive and defensive lines. You can check out this week’s recipients right here:

Co-Offensive Player of the Week: Jayden Daniels (QB, LSU)
Co-Offensive Player of the Week: Spencer Rattler (QB, South Carolina)
Defensive Player of the Week: Maxwell Hairston (CB, Kentucky)
Special Teams Player of the Week: Trey Smack (K, Florida)
Offensive lineman of the Week: Tyler Booker (OG, Alabama)
Defensive Linemen of the Week: Alex Huntley (DT, South Carolina)
Freshman of the Week: Taurean York (LB, Texas A&M)

Daniels was the winner of that same award last week, when he totaled more than 400 combined yards through the ground and air as his Tigers got up early and stayed on top all day at Mississippi State. Then, this weekend, his heroics helped LSU fend off a pesky Arkansas club at home, totaling four touchdown throws — two each to Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas.

Meanwhile, the defensive standout is Kentucky’s Hairston, who accomplished an extraordinarily rare feat by returning two interceptions for touchdowns against Vanderbilt. On both pick-sixes, Hairston saw the football drop right into his arms with a straight shot down the left sideline for the pair of TDs. It’s hard to imagine an SEC defender having a better single game the rest of the year.

SEC announces kick times, TV info for Week 6 slate

The SEC has announced kickoff times and TV details for Week 6 games, which will take place on Saturday, Oct. 7.

There are only six games involving SEC teams that weekend, and a couple of the matchups stand out.

The two biggest games on Oct. 7 are Texas A&M hosting Alabama and Georgia hosting Kentucky.

Texas A&M is 3-1 after beating Auburn this past Saturday to open SEC play. Alabama is also unbeaten in league play after beating Ole Miss over the weekend. The winner of the Alabama-Texas A&M matchup very well could be 3-0 in the league and in a good position to win the SEC West.

Here is the full SEC schedule for Week 6:

Noon: LSU at Missouri, ESPN
Noon: Western Michigan at Mississippi State, SEC Network
3:30 p.m.: Alabama at Texas A&M, CBS
4 p.m.: Vanderbilt at Florida, SEC Network
