OFFENSIVE
Ty Davis-Price, RB, LSU

Set the LSU single-game rushing record with 287 yards and three touchdowns on 36 carries in leading the Tigers to a 49-42 win over 20th-ranked Florida.
A junior from Baton Rouge, he became the first player in LSU history to rush for more than 200 yards against the Gators ... Davis-Price's 287 rushing yards were the most ever against a Florida defense, breaking the previous mark of 238 set by Georgia's Heisman Trophy winning running back Herschel Walker in 1980.
It also stands as the 10th-highest single-game rushing total in Southeastern Conference history ... Davis-Price scored on runs of 18, 40 and 25 yards as he averaged a staggering 8.0 yards per carry on 36 attempts.
The 36 rushing attempts tie for the sixth-highest total in LSU history, while his 8.0 yards per carry set the school mark on a minimum of 30 carries in a game.
