Fournette & Pocic - SEC players of the week

Wk 2 SEC POTW
LF7 won SEC offensive POTW, while Pocic was honored for best Offensive Lineman of week 2.
Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU
• Rushed for 159 yards and 3 TDs on a career-high 28 carries in leading LSU to a 21-19 win over 25th-ranked Mississippi State in what was the first game of the year for the Tigers.
• Averaged 5.7 yards a carry ... His 28 carries were the most by a LSU player in a season-opener since 1985 when Dalton Hilliard had 31 carries for 148 yards in win over North Carolina ... 99 of his 159 yards came in second half.
• Scored on runs of 1, 26 and 18 yards to account of all of LSU's offensive points ... It was his 6th 100-yard rushing game of his 14-game career and the third straight dating back to last year ... LSU is 5-1 when Fournette rushes for 100 or more yards.
Ethan Pocic, C, LSU
• Played all but one offensive snap (60 of 61) in LSU's 21-19 and graded out the best among all Tiger offensive linemen at 92%.
• Had career-high 16 knockdown blocks and didn't allow a sack or a pressure ... Helped pave the way for LSU offense that racked up 266 rushing yards and 3 rushing TDs ... LSU averaged 5.7 yards per rush.
• Led offensive line that also blocked for Leonard Fournette, who went over the 100-yard mark for sixth time in career ... Pocic has started 14 games during his career and LSU has had a 100-yard rusher in 9 of those games.
Congrats!

Congrats to both.
While it's easy for Fournette to get the attention he deserves, I'm glad to see Pocic getting some love. From his stat-line, it seems he was simply dominant. 16 knockdowns is pretty impressive.

The second I found out we landed Pocic I was pumped. He's gonna go down as one of the best OL we've ever had here.

16 Knock downs in one game is an eye-opener!! Wonder what the record is?
How many times this season will Fournette will have 28 carries?

Our O-line is great. Just think how effective they would be w/o ten in the box.

From day one I said Ethan would be a star. Not surprised at all.
