Auburn's Kamryn Pettway has been named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week while kicker Daniel Carlson is the SEC Special Teams Player of the Week after their performances against Ole Miss Saturday.

The 6-foot, 240-pound Pettway carried 30 times for 236 yards and a touchdown to help lead the Tigers to a 40-29 win over the Rebels. It was the third straight career performance for Pettway, who rushed for 169 yards and three touchdowns against Mississippi State and 192 yards and two touchdowns against Arkansas.

On Sunday, offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee said running backs coach Tim Horton believed the former H-back could handle a switch to running back, the position he grew up playing at Prattville.

"(Horton) said he's going to be just fine," Lashlee said. "He said he's going to be really good. Well, Tim knows what he's talking about, but he really hadn't done a lot. I don't think Tim or any of us knew he'd get on this tear, but he' just done a good job of going downhill. He'd be the first to tell you it's because his guys up front are blocking well for him."

With 933 yards and seven touchdowns this season, Pettway is on the fringe of extending Auburn's SEC record of consecutive years with a 1,000-yard rusher to eight seasons.

"I'm just aiming to be better than I was the last week before that," Pettway said after the win over Ole Miss. "That's my motivation."

Carlson made all four of his field goal attempts against the Rebels, hitting from 45, 32, 30, 47 yards. His long came midway through the fourth quarter and gave the Tigers a four-point cushion.

"Especially in the beginning of the game when we score, we're up, they score, they're up, obviously I know each point's critical at that point," Carlson said. "I'm glad I was able to execute. Everybody else did their job, and we were able to pull away."

Carlson, a national Lou Groza Award finalist last year, is now 17-for-18 this season.
