SEC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

QUENTIN GROVES

Defensive End

AUBURN

6-4 * 254 * Junior

Greenville, Miss. (Weston HS)

Groves accounted for four tackles, including three quarterback sacks (-25 yards) with a forced fumble and two QB pressures in Auburn's 27-17 win against Florida.

Groves was a key component of an Auburn defense that held Florida scoreless in the second half, including just 83 total offensive yards over the final two quarters.

Auburn's defense forced the Gators into three fourth quarter turnovers and a safety in the second quarter.

Groves is tied for the SEC lead with six sacks this season.

I'm getting to be a big fan of Q's interviews: Link

Groves had three particularly big plays against the Gators. In the first half, Leak rolled out in the end zone with Groves in hot pursuit. Florida guard Jim Tartt wound up on top of him on the ground and was called for holding, giving the Tigers a safety.

The colorful Groves had this account of the play:

"Leak was bootlegging and I was about to sack him. The next thing I knew a guy who's 300 pounds was on my back. (I was thinking), 'That's got to be illegal some way."'
