Honor Roll

Two bulldogs were honored this week after their performances against ASU Saturday. One should come as no surprise, the other, maybe not as clear to some. Nevertheless, here is the entire list of SEC honorees.

OFFENSE

A.J. Green, WR, Georgia: Caught a game-high eight passes for 153 yards, including a 56-yard touchdown, in the Bulldogs' 20-17 win over Arizona State. The eight catches and 153 yards in receptions are both single-game bests in the SEC this season. Green also blocked a field goal attempt in the fourth quarter.

DEFENSE

Eric Norwood, OLB, South Carolina: Collected a game-high 10 tackles, including two sacks, in South Carolina's 16-10 win over Ole Miss. Norwood also partially blocked a punt and added two quarterback pressures. He leads the league with six sacks and has a school-record 28 for his career, which is tied for eighth all-time in the SEC.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Chad Jones, FS, LSU: Returned a punt 93 yards for a touchdown to open the fourth quarter in LSU's 30-26 win over Mississippi State. Jones also had seven tackles and tipped away a third-down pass at the goal line to save a touchdown in the final minute.

OFFENSIVE LINEMAN

Marcus Gilbert, OT, Florida: Graded out a "Champion" for the fourth consecutive week in Florida's 41-7 win over Kentucky. The Gators rushed for 362 yards, the most they've rolled up against an SEC team since Vanderbilt in 1989.

DEFENSIVE LINEMAN

Justin Houston, DE, Georgia: Filling in for the injured Rod Battle, Houston finished with four tackles and recorded the Bulldogs' only sack in the 20-17 win over Arizona State, which managed just 204 yards of total offense.

FRESHMAN

Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama: Scored the Crimson Tide's first touchdown of the game on a tackle-breaking 52-yard run in the 35-7 win over Arkansas. Richardson is now second on the team in rushing with 280 yards on 38 carries.
