Two Kentucky Wildcats — and Kentucky natives — earned recognition from the league office for their performances in the 42-21 win over LSU. Eli Cox was named SEC Co-Offensive Lineman of the Week and Octavious Oxendine was named Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week.
Cox, a sophomore guard from Nicholasville, played every offensive snap vs. LSU and graded at 91 percent. He and the rest of the Big Blue Wall helped Kentucky to 330 rushing yards, averaging 7.3 per attempt. Cox led the offensive line with seven knockdown blocks and had 15 blocks at the point of attack, including Will Levis’ quarterback sneak for a touchdown.
