In Georgia's two prior offseasons, there was a competition at place-kicker.
Heading into the 2018 season, the Bulldogs are at ease with this position.
Rising junior Rodrigo Blankenship proved to be one of the more efficient place-kickers in the SEC by hitting 20 of his 23 field goal attempts in 2017. As the season went along, and with the Bulldogs facing two crunch-time situations in the postseason, Blankenship was able to show off his range, too. Against Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl, Blankenship nailed a 55-yarder at the end of the first half. In the national championship against Alabama, Blankenship drilled a 51-yarder to put the Bulldogs up by three in overtime.
