LSU went on the road and handled a tough SEC opponent coming into the game with momentum as it dispatched Arkansas 34-10 to take back the Golden Boot for the third year in a row.
There were several standouts from the win, and two of them have received weekly honors from the SEC league office. Offensive tackle [autotag]Emery Jones Jr.[/autotag] has been named the Co-SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week, while placekicker [autotag]Damian Ramos[/autotag] has been named the Special Teams Player of the Week.
Jones helped anchor an offensive line that allowed LSU to rack up 384 yards, including 158 on the ground — the second-highest total of the season. Ramos, meanwhile, was 4 of 4 on field goals including kicks from 47 and 48 yards out.
Those kicks proved to be clutch as three of them came in the first half when the game was still in doubt and helped the Tigers pull away. Ramos received the game ball from coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] for his efforts.
LSU is 6-1 on the year with momentum on its side as it prepares to face Texas A&M with sole possession of first place in the SEC on the line in Week 9.
