The LSU defense continued to get showered with praise as sophomore safety Eric Reid and sophomore defensive end Sam Montgomery were recognized for their performances Saturday in the Tigers’ 9-6 defeat over No. 2 Alabama.
Reid, who finished the game with six tackles, one for a loss, a forced fumble and a game-changing interception, was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week, while Montgomery, who also racked up six tackles, including a pair of sacks, earned SEC Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week honors.
The Tiger defense held Alabama to six points, 96 rushing yards and 295 total yards — all season lows for the Tide.
