The SEC Defensive Linemen of the week reflects on the win against the Rebels: “I feel like it’s something that Coach White always preaches every week. He always says ‘win it at the line of scrimmage’ and he always tells the defensive line we’ve got to win that battle in the trenches,” Oxendine said. “So, I feel like every week we go play, you can tell we’re going to put our heart on the field as a D-line and go battle in the trenches.”
