SEC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Kenronte Walker, S, Missouri: Walker made two plays at the goal line late in the game to preserve Missouri's 24-20 win over Arizona State.

On its next defensive stand, with 1:58 left in the game, Walker intercepted a Sun Devil pass on a 3rd-and-9 play at the MU 20-yard line, and returned it 49 yards to seal the Tiger victory.
SEC SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Cody Parkey, PK, Auburn: Parkey's 35-yard field goal in overtime gave Auburn a 31-28 win against Louisiana-Monroe. Parkey hit all four of his point-after-touchdown attempts in the game, accounting for seven points.
