SEC helmet stickers: Week 9

There were numerous blowouts around the SEC on Saturday, but it was capped by a thriller in Columbia, Mo., as South Carolina came from behind to defeat Missouri 27-24 in double overtime. Definitely one of our helmet stickers is going to a player from that thriller. Check out who he is and the rest of this week's recipients below:

Connor Shaw, QB, South Carolina: What a gutsy showing by the senior. Because of a knee injury and illness prior to the game, Shaw was not expected to play. But with his team down 17-0 midway through the third quarter, coach Steve Spurrier sent in Shaw to replace Dylan Thompson. Shaw completed 20 of 29 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns in relief of Thompson, including a huge touchdown pass on fourth-and-goal from the Missouri 15 at the end of the first overtime session. As a result, the Gamecocks became the first team to knock off Missouri this season and put themselves back in the SEC East championship chase.

Texas A&M's defense: Forget that it was against a freshman quarterback making his first start (Vanderbilt's Patton Robinette); the Aggies' have struggled against almost everyone they've played, so their performance on Saturday was a breakthrough. They held Vanderbilt to 329 yards (95 rushing) and generated seven sacks as well as three turnovers. Quite a contrast after allowing 45 points, 615 yards and 379 rushing yards to Auburn the week before. A lot of good performances on the Aggies' D, so it's hard to single out one player.

Odell Beckham, WR, LSU: Beckham continues to shine and turned in a 200-yard performance on Saturday against Furman. He caught six passes for 204 yards and two touchdowns. His scoring grabs went for 37 and 63 yards.

Kevin Norwood, WR, Alabama: The senior had season highs in catches (six) and receiving yards (112) in the Crimson Tide's 45-10 rout of Tennessee. He also had a pretty highlight-worthy grab while falling backward. Afterward, coach Nick Saban used the word "unbelievable" to describe Norwood's catch.

Ja-Mes Logan, WR, Ole Miss: The senior had touchdown grabs of 37 yards and 65 yards from quarterback Bo Wallace and finished with six receptions for 122 yards in the Rebels' 59-14 rout of Idaho.
