SEC Football: Game Balls, Top Performers from Week Eleven
Special Teams: Gary Wunderlich, K, Ole Miss
Gary Wunderlich is quietly having an excellent season. This week against Texas A&M, he finally got a chance to be a hero. And he took advantage of it, drilling a 39 yard field goal with just over 30 seconds left to give Ole Miss a big win.
The game-winner was Wunderlich’s third field goal of the day. He also made both of his extra point attempts and punted four times. Wunderlich is the man for the Ole Miss special teams.
Honorable Mentions:
Adam Griffith, K, Alabama
Unlike Wunderlich, Adam Griffith has not had a great season. However, he had a very nice game this week against Mississippi State. He connected on all three of his field goals, and made all five of his extra point attempts. That was an encouraging sign for Tide fans. We will see if he can keep it up.
Eddy Pineiro, K, Florida
Eddy Pineiro has a big leg, and he got a chance to show it off against South Carolina. He banged one home from 54 yards out. He also hit another field goal and both of his extra point attempts. If Pineiro can continue to be accurate, he will be an extremely special kicker.
