LSU certainly made a statement on Saturday.
In the most significant upset in Week 8’s SEC play, unranked LSU took down previously unbeaten Ole Miss, giving coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] his first win against a top-10 opponent since taking the job in Baton Rouge. The Tigers trailed early but ultimately earned a decisive 45-20 win.
Given the performance, it shouldn’t be surprising to see a couple of LSU players earn weekly accolades from the league office. For their performances in Week 8 against the Rebels, a trio of Tigers players — [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag], [autotag]Harold Perkins[/autotag] and [autotag]Mekhi Wingo[/autotag] — were all listed among the SEC Players of the Week.
