3 SEC players named to Kirk Herbstreit’s top performers list for Week 11

ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit has unveiled his list of top performers from the previous weekend of college football, and a trio of SEC players made the list this time around.

This week, Herbstreit put an Ole Miss quarterback and wide receiver duo at the top of the list, as Matt Corral and Elijah Moore were both slated at No. 1. Corral threw for a career-high 513 yards while adding 4 touchdowns as the Rebels won a wild shootout with South Carolina on Saturday. Moore recorded 13 catches, 225 yards and scored 2 touchdowns while adding 6 carries for 45 yards—his receiving yardage totals putting him over the 200-yard mark for the third time this season. He now has over 1,000 yards through just 7 games this year.

Florida DL Zachary Carter rounded out Herbstreit’s list at No. 6 following the Gators’ 63-35 win over Arkansas. The junior recorded 3 tackles, 1 sack and a fumble recovery for a touchdown on the evening.
