In what was likely his last regular season game of his Ole Miss career, defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche was a one-man wrecking ball for the Rebels in the Egg Bowl. Making his presence a constant in the Bulldog backfield was key in the Rebs 38-27 victory Saturday.

For his outstanding individual effort, Nkemdiche has been named as the SEC's Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week:
