Auburn quarterback Byrum Brown is the Southeastern Conference Offensive Player of the Week after leading Auburn to an upset win at No. 1 Georgia last Saturday.
Brown, a fifth-year senior, rushed for a season-high 115 yards and a touchdown and passed for 150 yards and a score in the 27-24 victory. He became the third Auburn quarterback to rush and pass for a touchdown in four straight games, joining Cam Newton (2010) and Nick Marshall (2013).
Kentucky’s Jordan Castell is the conference's Defensive Player of the Week after intercepting two passes against Oklahoma and returning one for a touchdown in a 21-13 road win.
