LSU won its third straight game, following up wins over Florida and Auburn with a victory over Ole Miss. The Tigers have rebounded nicely after a 3-2 start to the season.

Guice led the way for the Tigers, rushing for 276 yards and a touchdown in the victory. He rushed for 126 yards in the first half, eclipsing his previous season high in just two quarters.

Evans played through injury to lead Alabama’s 45-7 win over Tennessee, collecting six tackles, including a sack.

Several other of Herbstreit’s top performers have SEC ties. FAU head coach Lane Kiffin is a former Tennessee coach and Alabama offensive coordinator. Memphis quarterback Riley Ferguson began his career at Tennessee.
