The SEC league office named its players of the week Tuesday after the season’s opening slate of games. The list is headlined by Missouri quarterback Drew Lock, whose Tigers take on the Gamecocks this week, and also includes South Carolina’s own Deebo Samuel.
OFFENSE: QB Drew Lock, Missouri: Lock led the Tigers to a school-record 815 yards of total offense, a school-record 515 yards of single-game total offense, and matched an SEC record with seven passing touchdowns against FCS opponent Missouri State. He was pretty busy.
DEFENSE: LB Shaun Dion Hamilton, Alabama: Hamilton logged a team-high eight tackles, a team-high 3.
