He was selected the SEC Offensive Player of the Week Monday for his 340 yard passing effort with two TDs to Beckham in a key victory over Mississippi State. LSU junior receiver Jarvis Landry, who injured an ankle last week, stands at No. 4 in the nation in receiving TDs with a team-high seven and is ninth in receiving yards with 616. He leads the Tigers with 42 receptions.
