Alabama LB named SEC defensive player of the week

Alabama fifth-year senior Christian Miller saw his career game rewarded by the SEC.

The league named the outside linebacker its defensive player of the week after a big night at Ole Miss. He had a career-high 2.5 sacks among his five tackles -- also his top total.

Miller was part of a drive-killing stop on fourth down in the second quarter.

LSU's Joe Burrow was named offensive player of the week for leading the Tigers past Auburn, 22-21 in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
