LSU Quarterback Jayden Daniels is the SEC Offensive Player of the Week . Daniels accounted for five touchdowns in the Tigers 45-20 victory over the previously undefeated Ole Miss Rebels. He threw for 248 yards and rushed for 121 yards. Linebacker Harold Perkins was named co-freshman of the week as he recorded five tackles, one sack and two quarterback hurries. Sophomore Mekhi Wingo was named defensive lineman of the week, as he had seven tackles, 1.5 sacks and two pass break ups.

Cajuns Quarterback Ben Wooldridge was named the Sun Belt’s Offensive Player of the Week after throwing a school record-tying five touchdowns in a win over Arkansas State. U-L Lafayette’s other quarterback Chandler Fields is available for Thursday’s game at Southern Miss after missing the last two games due to injury, but Coach Michael Desormeaux says Wooldridge will start.

The Saints are getting ready for their next game this Sunday versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Injuries have contributed to the team’s two and five record. They played their last game without starters Jameis Winston, Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry, Andrus Peat and Marshon Lattimore. Coach Dennis Allen is optimistic they’ll get some guys back for Sunday’s game against the Raiders…
