UK football notes, 11/18

Peters named SEC's Defensive Lineman of the Week. Yay!

• The Cats of the gridiron became bowl-eligible with a big win at Vanderbilt last week. As far as venues go, if UK loses to both Georgia and Tennesse, it is likely they will travel to Shreveport for postseason play. One victory could mean Nashville's Music City Bowl, while a sweep may land them the Outback Bowl in Tampa.
• Cats D-tackle Corey Peters was named the SEC's Defensive Lineman of the Week for his performance, which included five tackles (1.5 for loss) and a quarterback pressure.
• Quarterback Mike Hartline had surgery on Tuesday to repair cartilage damage in his knee. Hartline was 2-6 for 10 yards in a limited role on Saturday. He was expected to miss the remainder of the season, but the procedure didn't actually reveal any damage to the cartilage. Rich Brooks is calling it a bone bruise instead, and is anticipating Hartline to be available for any bowl game.
• The SEC gauntlet is taking its toll on other key players for UK's Saturday tilt at Georgia. Randall Cobb was forced to leave practice early on Wednesday, and is now questionable becuase of a bruised shoulder. Georgia's got their own issues as well: star wideout A.J. Green will miss the contest, also with an injured shoulder. Green left the Bulldogs' game two weeks ago against Auburn, and missed last week's game vs. Tennessee Tech.
• Saturday's game will be televised from Athens in ESPN2, and kickoff is set for 7:45.
• UK's final home game vs. Tennessee has been picked up by ESPNU, and will kick off at 7:00 the night of November 28.
• John Wall for Heisman! Who's with me?
