COLUMBIA (WACH) -- Gamecock running back Marcus Lattimore is getting high honors this week.

Lattimore has been selected as the conference's Co-Offensive Player of the Week after his performance against Navy over the weekend.  The SEC office announced the honor Monday.

Rivals.com also named the six-foot, 232 pound star National SEC Player of the Week.  CollegeFootballPerformance.com selected Lattimore for their honorable mention list.

He is credited for a career-high 246 yards on 37 carries in Saturday's narrow 24-21 victory.  Those 246 yards come out to be the fourth-highest single-game gains in South Carolina history, only 32 yards away from the record.

The Gamecocks take on 3-0 conference foe Vanderbilt Saturday.  Both teams have a 1-0 SEC record on the year.
