LEAD STORY: Jamal Roberts Makes Missouri History
Missouri running back Jamal Roberts has been the SEC's most productive ball carrier this season, and the conference has now recognized it. Roberts was named SEC Co-Offensive Player of the Week, sharing the award with South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers, after running for 222 yards and two touchdowns on 34 carries in the Tigers' 27-6 win over Texas A&M.
The performance put Roberts in Missouri's record book. According to MUTigers.com, he is the first player in program history to post back-to-back 200-yard rushing games. He is also only the third SEC running back in the past 20 seasons to do it, joining Alabama's Derrick Henry and LSU's Leonard Fournette, who both did it in 2015. Through six games, Roberts leads the SEC with 828 rushing yards, which ranks second nationally.
He could add to those numbers quickly. Missouri plays at Ole Miss on Saturday afternoon, and the Rebels rank last in the SEC in rushing defense. Roberts has been carrying the Tigers' offense, and Ole Miss's run defense will have to slow him down.
QUICK HITS
Kenny Minchey's former coach is "not surprised one bit." Kentucky quarterback Kenny Minchey, a former blue-chip recruit from Hendersonville, Tennessee, has led the Wildcats to a 5-1 record with two top-10 wins after transferring from Notre Dame, where he spent three seasons. His former head coach in South Bend praised him publicly: "Kenny is a dang good quarterback and a heck of a football player. I'm not surprised one bit he's having the success he's having." Kentucky is now a top-15 team in the playoff race.
Georgia's lines earn weekly honors. After Georgia's win at Alabama, offensive lineman Dontrell Glover was named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week and Joseph Jonah-Ajoye was named Defensive Lineman of the Week. Up front, the Bulldogs' quarterback completed more than 80% of his passes on the road, and the backup running backs ran for almost 200 yards. On defense, Georgia held one of the country's most productive offenses to about 50% passing, two touchdowns and roughly 30% less total offense than its average.
