SEC releases Week 7 Players of the Week honors

After yet another exciting weekend of action inside the SEC, the conference has released its Week 7 Players of the Week honors. Alabama bounced back against Mississippi State while Georgia took down Kentucky with no issues. Auburn and LSU pulled off upsets over Arkansas and Florida. Texas A&M continued rolling over Missouri while South Carolina barely snuck away with a win over Vanderbilt.

The SEC’s Week 7 offensive honors

Offensive Players of the Week: LSU RB Tyrion Davis-Price, Ole Miss QB Matt Corral.

Tyrion Davis-Price set the LSU rushing record in a single game with 287 yards. He also had three touchdowns on 36 carries in LSU’s upset victory over Florida. The 287 yards were also the most ever against a Florida defense. Davis-Price now has the tenth highest single game rushing total in SEC history. He was a lock for Week 7 SEC honors.

Ole Miss snuck away with a victory over Tennessee, and Corral was a big reason why. In the win, Corral had 426 total yards and a career high 195 rushing yards. He attempted 30 rushes, becoming the first Ole Miss player to do so since 2007. Passing wise, Corral was 21-of-38 for 231 yards and two touchdowns.

Offensive Lineman of the Week: Texas A&M OL Kenyon Green.

Green moved back to left guard this week after playing left tackle last week against Alabama. In doing so, Green was a big part of a strong offensive game from the Aggies’ offense. Texas A&M had 283 net rushing yards, with 168 from Isaiah Spiller and 124 from Devon Achane. The offensive line only allowed one sack.

SEC Week 7 defensive honors

Defensive Player of the Week: Alabama LB Will Anderson.

Anderson was seemingly everywhere in Alabama’s win over Mississippi State. He had four sacks, six tackles, four tackles for loss, six quarterback pressures, and batted down a pass. Anderson’s four sacks made him the third player in Alabama history to do so in a single game and earned him Week 7 SEC honors. Mississippi State had negative rushing yards in the game and scored 18.8 points below their season average.

Defensive Linemen of the Week: Auburn DL Colby Wooden, Georgia DL Jalen Carter.

Wooden has four tackles, two sacks, and two tackles for loss in Auburn’s upset win over Arkansas. The two sacks were a career high for Wooden and resulted in a loss of 13 yards.

Carter continued to dominate the SEC with six tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, one sack, and he also blocked an extra point. Georgia came away with a convincing win over Kentucky. Kentucky only gained four first downs on the ground and averaged 3.5 yards per play.

Special Teams, freshman honors

Special Teams Player of the Week: South Carolina P Kai Kroeger.

Kroeger punted four times for South Carolina against Vanderbilt. The four punts went for 227 yards, averaging 56.8 yards per punt. All four went 50 yards, and one even went for 70 yards. Three of Kroeger’s punts were downed inside the 20. Vanderbilt had zero yards on punt returns.

Freshman of the Week: Georgia TE Brock Bowers.

Bowers continued his strong freshman campaign for Georgia, earning him more SEC honors in Week 7. He caught six passes for 101 yards and two touchdowns. With his sixth touchdown reception of the year, Bowers tied Leonard Pope for the most touchdown catches by a tight end in school history.
