Two LSU players were given weekly SEC honors after the Tigers routed No. 8 Miami 33-17 on Sunday (Sept. 2).
Linebacker Jacob Phillips shared SEC Defensive Player of the Week, and kicker Cole Tracy shared SEC Special Teams Player of the Week.
Phillips returned a second quarter interception 45 yards for a touchdown to give LSU a 27-3 lead and all but put the Hurricanes away. He also had a career-high seven high tackles.
The LSU defense contained Miami for 342 yards, much of which game in garbage time after LSU already led 33-3.
