Plumlee, Brown Named Players of the Week Following Vanderbilt Win
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Two Rebels collected weekly honors from the Southeastern Conference after a 31-6 win over Vanderbilt, the league office announced Monday.
John Rhys Plumlee was named SEC Freshman of the Week after accounting for 264 yards of total offense in just his second career start.
Plumlee led the Ole Miss rushing attack with an Ole Miss freshman quarterback record of 165 yards and one touchdown on 22 attempts. The Hattiesburg, Mississippi, native leads the conference with 274 yards rushing in SEC contests.
Sophomore Ben Brown earned SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after helping pave the way for Plumlee and an Ole Miss offense that piled up 413 yards rushing, the most by Ole Miss against an SEC opponent since 1979 (Vandy, 443) and the most against any team since 2010 (Fresno State, 425).
Brown helped clear lanes for three explosive runs of 50 yards or more. It marked the first time in school history that the Rebels have tallied two rushes of 75 yards or more in the same game.
Ole Miss will travel to Missouri Saturday to take on the Tigers in SEC play. Kick is slated for 6 p.m. CT and will be televised on ESPN2.
