It’s almost as if there’s some sort of gravitation toward Georgia place-kicker Rodrigo Blankenship.
He draws the loudest cheer when the starting lineups are announced at Sanford Stadium. A plethora of fans wear jerseys with his number embroidered front-and-center. He is known for the guy with the “rec specs” — and it probably wouldn’t be a surprise to see Halloween costumes featured around them.
“I don’t understand eyesight,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said after wearing the goggle-like spectacles for a “College GameDay” feature. “But I don’t see how those could help anybody see.”
It’s what defines Blankenship.
