ATHENS - Georgia junior tailback D’Andre Swift has been named the Southeastern Conference Offensive Player of the Week for the third time in his career after his performance during the 21-0 win over Kentucky, according to a league announcement.
 
Swift also received SEC weekly honors after the Bulldog victories over the No. 9 Wildcats and No. 24 Auburn last year.  So far this year, Georgia has five weekly league awards with senior place-kicker Rodrigo Blankenship earning three and junior left tackle Andrew Thomas securing another.
 
Swift, a native of Philadelphia, Pa., carried the ball 21 times on a rainy night for 179 yards (8.5 average) and scored twice during the Bulldogs’ victory over the Wildcats.  His seventh career 100-yard rushing game was highlighted by a 39-yard scoring run in the third quarter that broke a 0-0 tie.  Swift muscled his way into the end zone from three yards out late in the fourth quarter to clinch the 21-0 victory.  He leads the SEC through seven games for the Bulldogs with 107.7 yards/game average.
  
Following a bye week this Saturday, the No. 10 Bulldogs (6-1, 3-1 SEC) will travel to Jacksonville, Fla., to take on No. 9 Florida (7-1, 4-1) on Nov. 2.  CBS will televise the annual matchup at 3:30 p.m.
