FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas running back Raheim Sanders and punter Reid Bauer earned weekly awards from the SEC on Monday.
Sanders shared the league’s offensive player of the week award with Georgia tight end Brock Bowers, and Bauer was named SEC special teams player of the week. It was the first award for either player this season.
Sanders rushed for 171 yards on 16 carries during the Razorbacks’ 41-27 victory at Auburn last week. His 76-yard run during the third quarter set up a touchdown that put the Razorbacks ahead by 18 points and he did not play the rest of the game.
