The SEC league office named its players of the week Monday, and it’s a list heavy on Western Division players given that most of the East was idle.
OFFENSE: RB Derrius Guice, LSU: Guice finally had the type of breakout game pundits have been expecting from him this year, rolling up 276 yards on 22 carries with a touchdown in the Tigers’ 40-24 win against Ole Miss. With that performance, he became just the third player in SEC history to have three 250-yard rushing games.
DEFENSE: DB Levi Wallace, Alabama, and DE Jeff Holland, Auburn: Wallace notched six tackles, two sacks, and a quarterback hurry in helping the Crimson Tide suffocate overmatched Tennessee.
