Saturday marked the fourth week in a row one or more Auburn Tigers were honored by the Southeastern Conference as Player of the Week.
Senior defensive lineman Mike Blanc received his first SEC weekly award and is the second defensive lineman to be honored this season.
Blanc was named the SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week after recording a season-high seven tackles, a recovered fumble and a batted pass.
"Defensively, we made it our goal that they would have to beat us with the run, and we weren't going to let them pass on us," Blanc said after Saturday's game.
Junior quarterback Cameron Newton earned SEC Offensive Player of the week honors.
It is his second weekly award this season.
