Cornerback Trevard Lindley, whose interception in the final minute of the game sealed Kentucky?s 24-20 upset win over Georgia, was named Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week by the league office.
Lindley had a career-high seven tackles and a pass breakup in addition to his game-clinching pickoff. With Georgia on the Kentucky two-yard line in the second quarter, he broke up a pass in the end zone and UK?s Roger Williams caught the deflection for an interception. Lindley was outstanding against the run, with five of his tackles coming in run support and another was on kickoff coverage.
Lindley is the third Wildcat this season to win a player-of-the-week honor from the league office. Quarterback Andre? Woodson was the Offensive Player of the Week after the win over Ole Miss and wide receiver/kick returner Keenan Burton was the Special Teams Player of the Week following the victory at Mississippi State.
