After LSU’s thrilling, 35-28 win against Florida on Saturday evening, two Tiger performances stood out among the rest of the Southeastern Conference at their respective positions.
On Monday morning, the league announced junior defensive end Lewis Neal was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week and senior offensive tackle Vadal Alexander was named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week.
Neal notched career highs against the Gators with three sacks, 3.5 tackles for losses and 10 total tackles. With his three sacks, the second most in school history, Neal now ranks second in the conference in sacks, only trailing Texas A&M sophomore defensive end Myles Garrett. Garrett won SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week. 
Alexander recorded 13 knockdowns without allowing a sack and helped open up the Tiger rushing attack that accumulated 221 yards, including sophomore tailback Leonard Fournette’s 180-yard effort.
