University of Kentucky offensive guard Jason Leger has been selected the Southeastern Conference Offensive Lineman of the Week, as chosen by the league office, for his performance in Saturday?s 56-20 win over Kent State.

Leger, a senior from Brodhead, Ky., graded out at 90 percent for the game and had four knockdown blocks. Kentucky posted consecutive 50-point games for the first time in nine years. The Wildcats had 484 yards total offense, 266 rushing and 218 passing, the second-consecutive game that UK has gone over 200 yards in both categories.

Kentucky at Arkansas Selected by ESPN2: The Kentucky at Arkansas game on Sept. 22 has been selected for live telecast on ESPN2. Game time is 6:00 p.m. EDT (5:00 p.m. CDT in Fayetteville).

It will be Kentucky?s second appearance of the season on live national or regional television, as this week?s game vs. Louisville will be on ESPN Classic. In addition, the UK at South Carolina game on Oct. 4 already has been selected by ESPN.

Early Arrival Encouraged for Saturday; UK Says ?Thanks? to the Fans: With a capacity crowd set to attend Saturday?s game vs. Louisville, fans are encouraged to arrive early at Commonwealth Stadium in order to help with traffic flow.

UK Athletics says ?thanks? to the fans for their assistance in helping entry lines to Commonwealth Stadium go smoothly at last Saturday?s Kent State game. Fans help stadium entry go more quickly by getting to the gate earlier, when each person holds his/her own ticket, and the bar code is pointed toward the ticket attendant in order to get a quicker scan.

?Buyer Beware? for Tickets Not Bought Through UK or TicketMaster: Fans are reminded ?buyer beware? for game tickets not purchased through the official outlets, UK Athletics or TicketMaster.

Tickets that have been reported lost or stolen have cancelled bar codes and will not be admitted to Commonwealth Stadium.
