Georgia had problems kicking field goals early in the season, but that issue appears to have been resolved. Blankenship kicked four field goals and one extra point against Kentucky. He successfully converted on all of his kicks. Blankenship accounted for 13 points on the day.

Honorable Mentions:

JK Scott, P, Alabama

JK Scott is the best punter in the SEC, and perhaps even the country. He made his case for that against LSU. Scott punted five times, for an average of 51.6 yards per attempt. He had a long of 66, which is his longest of the season so far.

Christian Kirk, WR/PR, Texas A&M

Christian Kirk only returned one punt on Saturday. However, he certainly made the most of his lone opportunity. Kirk raced 93 yards for a touchdown. Texas A&M lost the game, but it was no fault of Kirk’s. He also added a receiving touchdown.
