McFadden, Coleman honored by SEC

Auburn cornerback Walt McFadden's two interceptions against Ole Miss earned him SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors, while Antonio Coleman's harassing afternoon up front earned Defensive Lineman of the Week honors.

The senior from Pompano Beach, Fla., also tied a career-high with five tackles and 1.5 tackles for a loss in the Tigers' 33-20 upset of the Rebels.

He returned the first of his two picks 29 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to give Auburn a 24-7 lead. His second interception sealed the win, coming deep in Tigers territory with under three minutes left. He has four interceptions this season and seven for his career.

Coleman, a senior from Mobile, Ala., tied career highs with four tackles for a loss and two sacks. He also forced a fumble, had four quarterback hurries and a blocked kick.

The four tackles for a loss were the most by an Auburn player since Coleman did it against Georgia in 2007.
