OTHER OUTSTANDING PLAYERS OF THE WEEK:CB CAPTAIN MUNNERLYN (South Carolina) -- Logged seven total tackles with an interception and fumble recovery against Kentucky.
Despite being out of the SEC race, SC is still ranked in the TOP 25. Kind of shocking. I figured with the loss to LUTKY, we would drop out of the rankings. But, we are still there. Oh well, maybe we can get in to a decent bowl this year.
