00:03 - Let's bring in our man, Rich Terminale,

00:05 the Maxwell Minute, the recap from this past weekend.

00:08 Let's roll.

00:09 (upbeat music)

00:11 - Hey Mike, time to wrap up week 11 in college football.

00:16 Some great performances from the Maxwell perspective.

00:21 Good timing for us.

00:22 We're releasing our semifinalists this week

00:24 for both the Maxwell Award and the Bednarik Award.

00:27 So I'll start with the Maxwell Award player of the week.

00:31 It could be no one other than Jaden Daniels of LSU.

00:34 This time last week, Mike, he's in Concussion Protocol.

00:38 And then by Saturday night, he's in the NCAA Record Books.

00:41 In the thousands and thousands of games in college football,

00:45 no quarterback has ever done what Jaden Daniels did.

00:49 More than 350 yards through the air,

00:52 more than 200 yards on the ground.

00:54 In total, he accounts for 606 yards against Florida

00:59 in an easy victory over the Gators.

01:02 Five touchdowns, just an epic performance.

01:05 This kid is getting better and better,

01:07 and I would be shocked at this point

01:09 if he's not one of our Maxwell Award finalists

01:12 in a couple of weeks.

01:13 We'll keep it in the SEC.

01:15 In fact, all three of our players this week

01:17 are from the SEC.

01:18 So SEC haters can write me if they'd like.

01:22 Jalen McCloud, the Jack linebacker from Auburn

01:25 and edge rusher.

01:26 He's a transfer from Appalachian State.

01:29 Interesting thing is we watched him closely

01:31 at the beginning of last year

01:33 when App State played Texas A&M,

01:35 and he ripped through that Aggie offensive line.

01:38 So he was SEC ready a year ago,

01:40 and clearly is now.

01:42 48-10 victory for Auburn.

01:44 McCloud has nine tackles, four tackles for loss,

01:48 three sacks, a forced fumble,

01:50 and according to our friends at Pro Football Focus,

01:54 no edge rusher earned a higher grade

01:56 in week 11 than McCloud.

01:58 And by the way, Mike, keep an eye on Auburn.

02:01 Little by little, you know,

02:02 this team is getting better under Eufrys,

02:05 now six and four.

02:07 They're finding an identity on defense.

02:10 They're capable on offense.

02:12 Got an easy one this weekend,

02:14 and then it's the Iron Bowl against Alabama

02:17 with a chance to ruin the Tides' quest

02:20 to get into the playoff.

02:21 And finally, again, number three, SEC.

02:23 It's just the way things worked out.

02:25 Georgia linebacker C.J. Allen.

02:28 Think about this.

02:29 Georgia goes into their biggest game of the season

02:31 last weekend with Ole Miss visiting

02:33 that good offensive lane, Kiffin.

02:36 Allen gets asked to start for the first time

02:39 in replace of J'mon "Doomish" Johnson,

02:42 captain of the Georgia defense,

02:43 out with a left arm injury.

02:45 You would think that Allen would be wide-eyed

02:48 and incapable, didn't happen.

02:50 Leads the team with nine tackles and a sack.

02:53 Number 33 is the next in a long line

02:57 of great Georgia linebackers.
