Alabama linebacker Courtney Upshaw has been named the SEC Defensive Player of the Week following his superb performance against the Florida Gators.

Upshaw was credited with seven tackles against the Gators (four for losses) and also a critical fumble recovery which put an end to a promising Florida offensive drive.

The Tide linebacker also played a big role in pass coverage.

Upshaw was officially credited with two pass breakups against the Gators.

Not to be overshadowed, Alabama offensive lineman Chance Warmack has been named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week.

Against the tough and physical Florida defensive front, Warmack allowed no sacks, no pressures and was never flagged for an offensive penalty.

On the injury front, Tide wide receiver Julio Jones is nursing a bruised knee.

Jones is expected to be limited in practice (day-to-day), but the injury is considered to be inconsequential in respect to his ability to perform against South Carolina.

Crimson Tide linebacker Chris Jordan is also listed as day-to-day with an injured hamstring.
