With eight matchups involving Southeastern Conference teams on the docket, here’s a list of the player to watch in each SEC game for Week 7:

12:00 p.m., Louisiana-Monroe at Kentucky, SEC NETWORK

Jojo Kemp, RB, Kentucky

Jojo Kemp is coming off a season-best 131 yards and three touchdowns in Kentucky’s win over South Carolina last week. It marked the first 100-yard performance for Kemp this season. The sophomore excelled in the Wildcat formation made famous by his team and should continue his success against Louisiana-Monroe this weekend.

12:00 p.m., No. 13 Georgia at No. 23 Missouri, CBS

Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia

With leading rusher Todd Gurley serving a suspension, Nick Chubb’s role in Georgia’s offense should increase drastically. Chubb is averaging 7.2 yards per carry on just 31 attempts. The freshman will be a vital factor in the Bulldogs matchup against Missouri with huge implications for the SEC East title.

3:30 p.m., No. 2 Auburn at No. 3 Mississippi State, CBS

Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State

Dak Prescott secured his spot as a Heisman favorite with a memorable performance against Texas A&M. The junior quarterback threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns. He added 77 yards and three scores on 23 rushing attempts. Prescott can further his Heisman candidacy with an upset at home this weekend against the SEC’s reigning champions.

4:00 p.m., Chattanooga at Tennessee, SEC NETWORK

Justin Worley, QB, Tennessee

Justin Worley is looking to bounce back from his season-worst three turnover performance against Florida in Week 6. The senior quarterback is one touchdown and 49 yards shy of tying his 2013 season totals. Facing an FCS defense, Worley and the Tennessee offense should get back on track Saturday.

6:00 p.m., No. 7 Alabama at Arkansas, ESPN

Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama

Amari Cooper is having a Heisman-worthy season. Cooper has 746 yards and five touchdowns on 52 receptions. Alabama looks to bounce back from a disappointing loss against Ole Miss and will make the junior receiver a focal point of its offense.

7:30 p.m., LSU at Florida, SEC NETWORK

Travin Dural, WR, LSU

Travin Dural leads LSU with 574 yards and five touchdowns on 22 receptions. The sophomore looks to bounce back from his worst performance of the season, 40 yards on just one catch. Dural should see improvement facing a struggling Florida secondary.

7:30 p.m., Charleston Southern at Vanderbilt, ESPN 3

Ralph Webb, RB, Vanderbilt

Ralph Webb continues to lead Vanderbilt with 499 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 107 carries. The redshirt freshman is the Commodores only consistent option on offense and continues to produce, despite his team’s woes. Webb should see a strong performance against an FCS opponent.

9:00 p.m., No. 3 Ole Miss at No. 14 Texas A&M, ESPN

Kenny Hill, QB, Texas A&M

Kenny Hill threw a season-worst three interceptions against Mississippi State last week. The sophomore entered Week 6 with just two for the entire season. Hill looks to reclaim his position as a Heisman favorite with a big performance against one of the nation’s top defenses.
