BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Jacksonville State's Marques Ivory, Coty Blanchard and Rodney Garrott earned Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week honors following the Gamecocks' 49-48 double-overtime win at Ole Miss on Saturday.

Ivory and Blanchard were named co-Offensive Players of the Week after helping the school claim the OVC's first win over an SEC school since the league was formed in 1948. Garrott earned Defensive honors, while Blanchard also garnered Newcomer of the Week accolades.

The starter Ivory was 13-for-23 for 126 and two touchdowns while true freshman Blanchard was 9-for-13 for 126 yards and two touchdowns. The duo led the Gamecocks to five straight touchdowns to end the game, as JSU trailed 31-13 entering the fourth quarter.

Jax State outscored the Rebels 21-3 in the final quarter behind the two-quarterback attack. Blanchard had a four-yard touchdown with 6:17 left to cut the lead to 31-26 and Ivory had a 19-yard score to Alan Bonner with 18 seconds left to make the score 34-32. Ivory then completed a 2-point conversion pass to La'Ray Williams to force overtime.

Each quarterback scored a touchdown in overtime, as Ivory connected for a 7-yard score in the first overtime, and Blanchard completed a 30-yard pass on 4th and 15 in the second overtime. Blanchard then completed a two-point conversion pass to Calvin Middleton to win the game and earn No. 2 play of the day honors on SportsCenter.

Garrott played every snap on defense in the win and tallied 13 total tackles (8 solo), 2.5 tackles-for-loss and forced a fumble. The forced fumble in the first quarter was recovered by a teammate and returned for a touchdown.

The junior was part of the defensive unit that held the Rebels to just a field goal in the second half as Jax State rallied from a 21-point deficit to tie the game at 34 at the end of regulation. Ole Miss tallied just 54 yards in the third quarter and 52 yards of offense in the fourth quarter.
