Throughout the Rebels’ exsanguination of Texas A&M Saturday evening, one had to watch, mouth agape, thinking, “Where the heck has this been since they defeated Alabama?”. It was the first true road game this season and its offense looked disjointed most of the night.

Kizer received the accolade for the second time this season after earning her first career weekly honor, September 8.
