Rodrigo Blankenship missed a field goal. That happens from time to time, though quite rarely for the senior out of Marietta. It just happened to occur at a particularly bad time yesterday.
Before I proceed, let me acknowledge a few facts about a bespectacled badass who will be revered as one of the most talented placekickers the University of Georgia has ever fielded.
Blankenship entered Saturday perfect in all attempts in all of his categories: PAT’s, field goals, and touchback kickoffs. He still hasn’t missed a point after attempt in his three-and-a-half seasons wearing red and black.
