Fournette, Pocic awarded SEC weekly honors
The Southeastern Conference announced Monday LSU sophomore running back Leonard Fournette was tabbed SEC Offensive Player of the Week and junior center Ethan Pocic was chosen as SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week. 
Fournette toted the ball 28 times for 159 yards and three touchdowns in LSU’s season opening win Saturday against Mississippi State. Pocic, who lined up for all but one offensive snap, played nearly flawless at his position, recording a personal-best 16 knockdowns while not allowing a sack.
