LSU's Jasper Named SEC Player of the Week

LSU placekicker Josh Jasper has been named the Southeastern Conference Special Teams Player of the Week after kicking four field goals, including the game-winner in overtime, in the Tigers’ 33-30 win over Arkansas on Saturday.
Trailing 30-27, Jasper sent the game into overtime with a 41-yard field goal with four seconds left in the contest. Jasper then kicked the game-winner from 36 yards out in overtime as the Tigers improved to 9-3 overall.
Jasper, a junior from Memphis, added a pair of 47-yard field goals in the contest, one in the first quarter and the other coming in the fourth quarter.
