Defensive Lineman of the Week: Byron Young, DE, Tennessee

Will Rogers sets new conference career completions record
Will Rogers completed his 922nd pass since joining the Bulldogs on Saturday — passing the previous SEC record set by former Georgia Bulldog great Aaron Murray in 2013.
It only took Rogers 28 games to break the record, whereas Murray took 58 games, according to ESPN Stats & Info. After the Arkansas game, Rogers’ total is now 946 passes in his career, with plenty of time left to put the record out of reach of most potential contenders.
