Week 4 was full of close games, upsets, and absolute blowouts. As conference play has heated up, these players have stepped up and helped lead their teams to victory, or gave it their all out effort in defeat.

This list of consists of All-Americans, freshman studs, and a few relatively unheard of players.

Here's a look at the players who "balled out" during Week 4...

After having a monster game against new conference rival Missouri, Conner Shaw was named SEC co-offensive player of the week.

Shaw absolutely destroyed Mizzou's secondary, completing 20-of-21 passes for 249 yards and two touchdowns, leading South Carolina to a 31-10 victory.

The one incomplete pass was Shaw's first throw of the day, meaning the consecutive completion streak is still alive. He is four away from tying Tennessee's Tee Martin, who holds the SEC record at 24 straight.

Jeff Driskel, QB- Florida Gators

Jeff Driskel continues to impress the Gator Nation more and more every week. Last Saturday, the sophomore made the Wildcats defense look silly.

The young quarterback delivered the ball to ten different receivers, completing 18 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown. Florida embarrassed Kentucky in the Swamp and has not lost to the Wildcats in 26 straight years.

Todd Gurley, RB- Georgia Bulldogs

Georgia's freshman running back Todd Gurley is a beast; he racked up a career high 130 yards on 16 carries. The freshman averaged 8.1 yards per carry and found the end zone twice.

Gurley, who helped the Dawgs roll over the Commodores 48-3, was named the SEC freshman of the week.

Sounds sort of like another freshman who once donned the red and black.
