Linfield football scored a pair of Northwest Conference Athlete of the Week honors following a dominant 41-15 win over Wisconsin-Oshkosh last Saturday, earning senior wide receiver Kenyon Johnson and sophomore kicker Andrew O'Dell the conference recognition.
 
Johnson led all receivers in the game, racking up 171 yards on six receptions and one touchdown. The Preseason First Team All-American corner back made a splash in his first career start on the offensive side, hauling in a 49-yard strike on the first play from scrimmage. A native of Vancouver, Washington, Johnson fought through a defensive holding call in the second quarter, completing a 44-yard catch and score to put Linfield ahead 21-9. 
 
O'Dell was perfect in the season opener, drilling 35-yard and 37-yard field goals to ice the game late in the fourth quarter. The Salem, Oregon, native's first career start also saw him go for five-for-five in point after attempts. 
 
The 'Cats enjoy a bye week this weekend, picking back up next Saturday in Orange, California, set to take on the Chapman Panthers at 1 p.m. in a rematch of last season's meeting.
