No surprises here: James wins SEC Special Teams POW

Silly Brandon James, you're probably going to make us do this most weeks, aren't you? After his 74-yard punt return for a touchdown, James was named the SEC's Special Teams Player of the Week on Tuesday. It's the second team in his career he's won the award. He is one touchdown short of tying the school record for punt returns, set by Jacquez Green while he was here in the '90s.
