Here’s a look at the top three individual performances by SEC players from the weekend. (Actually, it’s four players this week.)
3. Ole Miss QB Shea Patterson/Mississippi State QB Nick Fitzgerald
The skinny: Neither played against a good defense but were impressive nonetheless. Patterson set a single-game school record by throwing for 489 yards in a 45-23 win over FCS opponent UT Martin. Patterson also threw five TD passes. He threw for 429 yards in last week’s win over South Alabama, giving him the No. 1 and No. 4 single-game marks in school history. Fitzgerald, meanwhile, accounted for 235 total yards and five TDs in the Bulldogs’ rout of Louisiana Tech.
