Two Mizzou freshman earn SEC weekly honors

The SEC handed out weekly awards to two Mizzou freshman on Monday. Connor Bazelak is the SEC freshman of the week, and Harrison Mevis is the SEC special teams player of the week.

Both were instrumental in the Tigers win over Arkansas on Saturday. Bazelak threw for 380 yards against the Hogs. With just 43 seconds to go in the game, the Ohio native was able to lead the Tigers into field goal range. He was 4/4 on the final drive.

Mevis was 5/5 kicking field goals on Saturday. Of course - he kicked the game-winner to give the Tigers a 50-48 win.

Mevis is also a semifinalist for the Lou Groza award, which goes the best kicker in college.
