Who will have the best individual performances of the 2015 season? That’s exactly what we’re going to try to measure with this weekly installment of the season’s top 10 individual performances.

Each week, we will move new standout games onto the list, making it progressively tougher to receive a mention.

Bonus points will be given to standout performances against tough opponents and outcome-altering plays, though huge individual performances of any kind will not be dismissed given the title of this list.

There may be alterations to the ranking of previous performances from week to week, based on the perspective gained from the progression of the season.

By the end of the season, we should have compiled the season’s very best performances.

We’re sure to have disagreements along the way, so feel free to add your Top 10 list in the comments section each week for comparison.

Some of Week 12’s notable performances:

  • Mississippi State QB Dak Prescott threw for more than 500 yards and accounted for seven touchdowns in a 51-50 win at Arkansas.
  • Arkansas QB Brandon Allen tied an SEC record with seven touchdown passes in a 51-50 loss to Mississippi State.
  • Alabama DB Cyrus Jones returned two punts for a touchdown and recovered a fumble in a blowout win against Charleston Southern.
  • Mississippi State WR Fred Ross was Prescott’s target of choice during his big day, finding Ross 10 times for 154 yards receiving and two touchdowns.
  • Tennessee RB Jalen Hurd carried the ball 34 times for 151 yards in the Vols’ 19-8 win at Missouri.
  • Kentucky RB Jojo Kemp had 165 yards rushing and three touchdowns on just 11 carries in a blowout win against Charlotte.
  • Georgia RB Sony Michel ran for 132 yards, which included a 25-yard game winner in overtime against Georgia Southern.
  • South Carolina may have lost to The Citadel, but it wasn’t because of a lack of performance from WR Pharoh Cooper, who finished with 11 catches for 191 yards and a touchdown.
  • Ole Miss QB Chad Kelly was a dual threat in a win against LSU, scoring twice on the ground and twice through the air.
  • Arkansas TE Hunter Henry caught seven passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns in the Razorbacks’ shootout loss in Fayetteville.
  • Vanderbilt LB Zach Cunningham had 14 tackles, three for loss, a sack and a forced fumble, but no help from the Commodores offense in a 25-0 loss to Texas A&M.
