Ole Miss athletes named SEC Offensive Players of the Week

Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral and senior soccer player Madisyn Pezzino were named SEC Offensive Players of the Week.

Corral garnered one of the conference’s weekly accolades after a record-breaking performance during the Vanderbilt game last weekend. The quarterback completed 31 out of 34 passes for 412 yards and six touchdowns in the 52-21 victory against the Commodores. With a 91.2% completion rate, the California native tied Tennessee’s Joshua Dobbs in the 2016 record.

Corral tied Eli Manning’s single-game record in touchdown passes with six which is also the most touchdowns in regulation history. In addition, Corral beat Manning’s 18 consecutive pass attempts, completing 19 at the beginning of the game.
