After running through LSU, Ryan Kelly named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week

Following Alabama's 30-16 demolition of LSU Saturday night, running back Derek Henry is getting a ton of praise and likely has supplanted Leonard Fournette in the eyes of many as the Heisman Trophy frontrunner with only month left in the regular season. 

While Henry is receiving the majority of the praise, the Tide's offensive line should be getting just as much love after clearing big holes for Henry all night long. This win was earned the old fashioned way, on the line of scrimmage against a physically impressive old-school defense. The entire offensive line cannot win an individual award, so the honor went to Alabama's center Ryan Kelly:

• Graded out at a team and season high 92 percent for the Tide front while not allowing a sack or a pressure.

• Provided time for 434 yards of total offense as Jake Coker completed 75 percent of his passes (18 of 24) for 184 yards.

• Recorded two knockdown blocks.
